Montavilla has a few enterpris
ing men who remind one of the
bulldog - they never let go.
Their enterprise and persistency
is aln»ut to be rewarded in the
opening of a boulevard through
the Ladd tract to the villa, and
possibly to Fairview. We are
glad to see it.

E O I TO RIAE
EXAGGERATED
REPORTS.
“From yellow journalism,
good Lord deliver us.” would be
an appropriate prayer in these
days. The horrible affair in At
lanta a few weeks ago was due
very largely to glaring headlines
in Southern papers exaggerat
ing real evils, and the reports
received in the North concerning
Atlanta were grossly exaggerat
ed. William R. Hearst, said to
be worth $400,000,000 (probably
a big estimate), is the leader in
this thing. With his string of
“Americans” in nearly all the
large cities, he appeals to the
baser natures of the people, and
is doing all in his power to sep
arate class from class, and at
the same time advance his own
ambitions. A few days ago an
item with scare headlines an
nounced race riots in the town
of Seneca. South Carolina: “A
Negro college dynamited.” “the
town destroyed by fire,” “race
riots,” and “the state called up
on for aid.” Having a nephew,
pastor of the Baptist church in
the tow'n, I wrote in deep anxiety,
in reply I learned that there had
been an unsuccessful attempt to
dynamite a small Negro school,
and that it was in all probability
the work of rival Negroes: that
there had been quite a serious
fire for a small town, but by no
means a destruction of the place;
that the fire is supposed to be
the work of an incendiary, and
that there wa3 no riot or sem
blance of one. In short it was
just such an event as might oc
cur in any town with no ques
tion of race involved. Truly our
Southern friends deserve our
sympathy.—A. B. in Pacific Bap
tist.
A BETTER AMERICAN CITIZEN.
A young man who came to
this country young enough to
get the benefit of our public
schools, and who then took a
course in Columbia University,
writes: “Now, at twenty-one,
I am a free American, with only
one strong desire; and that is to
do something for my fellow-men,
so that when my time comes to
leave the world, I may leave it a
bit the better. ” These are the
words of a Russian Jew; and
that Russian is a better Amer
ican, that Jew is a better Chris
tian. than many a descendant of
the Pilgrim Fathers.
In this
country every man is an Amer
ican who has American spirit,
American conceptions of life,
American habits. A man is
foreign not because he was born
in a foreign land, but because he
clings to foreign customs and
ideas. I do not fear foreigners
half so much as I fear Americans
who impose on them and brutal
ly abuse them. Such Americans
are the most dangerous enemies
to our institutions, utterly for
eign in their true spirit. Such
Americans are the real foreign
ers.—From the Introduction to
“Aliens or Americans?”
THE OOSPEL OF HEALTH.
Nature is always and forever
trying hard to keep people well,
and most so-called “disease” —
which word means merely the
lack of ease-is self-limiting and
tends to cure itself. If you have
appetite, do not eat too much.
Be moderate in the use of every
thing. except fresh air and sun
shine.
The one theme of ecclesiastes
is moderation. Buddha wrote it
down that the greatest word in
any language was equanimity.
William Morris said the finest
blessing of life was systematic,
useful work. St. Paul declared
the greatest thing in the world
was love. Moderation, equanim
ity, work, love—let these be
your physicians, and you will
need no other.—Selected.
VOTERS SHOULD PICK GOOD MEN
Gresham is just at the time
when the town council can
either facilitate or retard her
progress as a trading, education
al and social center. Hence the
voters of Gresham should use
the greatest precaution in select
ing the men who are to guide
and protect her future municipal
interests.
The town needs men who will
in every way possible work for
the upbuilding of Gresham, who
will, in so far as lies in their
power, encourage every legiti
mate business enterprise, ever
keeping in mind the fact that
pay rolls, be they ever so small,
add to the city’s strength.
Broad-minded, liberal, progres
sive men. who have the interests
of the town at heart, and who
are not afraid to do right for
fear of hurting their own busi
ness. are the men that should be
sought for, nominated and elect
ed.
Our readers will notice quota
tions from the School and Home,
Oregon’s baby monthly. The
School and Home is published at
Portland by the School and
Home
Publishing Company.
The editorial management will
be under the control of the Club.
Timothy Brownhill of Gresham,
Ore., will have charge of the
business management. The pa
per will be issued monthly. It
is started primarily to serve the
needs of the schools and homes
of Multnomah County. It will
work earnestly for better schools,
brighter homes and happier boys
and girls. If its message proves
helpful to the schools and homes
of this county, the management
will be gratified. If its message
finds a listening ear and an ap
preciative word in other counties,
the Teachers Progress Club will
have accomplished some good in
a larger field.
