The latest thing in sight for that thriving little burg is a new railroad which will tap a rich timber and mineral belt with the terminus of the road at Central Point. In the following suggestive remarks Mr. Patti­ son expresses to his people what can easily be assimilated by our ow n with much profit to the com­ munity in general: SEASIDE MILL GO DRY For several months the Signal has frequently called attention to the manner in which some of the saloons have been violating the state and town laws by run­ ning gambling games in their places of business. The town attorney, the town marshal, the town mayor and the deputy dis­ trict attorney and the saloon­ keepers have been asked to stop it. before the patience of the people should become exhausted when they would arise in their might and prohibit forever the licensing of saloons in Seaside. It has betm said that “Opportunity knocks onee at vverv man’s door.” These appeals have all been Sometimes it may knock twice. The made in vain. It is probably axiom will apply to towns and comma- better that it is so.

But the railroad com­ side! Some people who come to pany knew something about “cinch” Seaside for recreation now, game« thern.-elve* and when the road was built through the town the tirnt won’t come then; but there will train,and alas, many eubeequent trains, be others who prefer a closed went through at a .‘Xhuiile clip enveloped town to one that has a reputa­ in a cloud of dust and autumn leaves for tion for “tin-horn gambling” to Central Point, and a blaze of gain and take their places. -Seaside Signal. glory for the little tent town four miler PRESIDENT WITHIN HIS RIGHTS Whenever one undertakes to rebuke lawlessness in any form, in any person, anywhere, he im­ mediately finds himself branded as one who fails to attend to his own business, a butter in, as it were, upon the rights of others. Theodore Roosevelt has another well defined case on hand, in which financial, socialist and labor leaders are insistent upon his impeachment because of his insisting upon telling the truth as regards Harriman, Debs, Moyer. Haywood and Pettibone. In justice to the president we should keep in mind that he was absolutely silent as to the guilt or innocence of Moyer, Haywood and Pettibone as accused of mur­ der. He spoke only of those mentioned being undesireable as citizens because of Harriman’s questionable tactics as a leader of finance and the undesirability of Debs, Moyer, Haywood and Pettibone because of their law­ less teachings as leaders of or­ ganized labor. He was not try­ ing to influence public sentiment against the last three because of the charge against them. He simply spoke the truth as to their actions as 'citizens ir^ the past. Mr. Debs and his co-work- ers, however, have done, and are doing all in their power to influence courts of justice and public sentiment alike in favor of the accused, who as yet have neither been proven guilty nor innocent of the crime of which they are accused. So far the president is within his rights and should be upheld by all lovers of justice in what he has done.

The movement lieing made by Attorney General Crawford to force the Portland General Elec­ tric Company to pay 10 per cent of net profits arising from tolls collected from passengers and freight passing through Oregon City Locks from 1874 to 1906. based on a Government loan to former owners of $200,000, is a righteous one. In fact the com­ pany does not deny the debt. They are simply taking the ad­ vantage of the state and robbing the school children of their just due on a technicality covered by demurrer in which they claim the state (owing to act passed in 1897) cannot recover for the period prior to 1891. Just another case of legalized stealing, that’s all. H. A. Williams of the Estaca­ da News in a recent editorial pertinently says: The fa« t of tfcere being no ex prêts line between Estacada and Portland haa always been a source of annoyance to !<->ple along the line. Unless other­ wise nr lere» 1 all express is «ent to Ore­ gon City, which causes delays and addi­ tional expense.

We heartily commend Brother eruth, which waa p«tarted and han since Williams’ efforts along that line grow n to its present inrtance because and suggest that the business of Central Point’s mistake—because we men all along the line take this epurned Opportunity. But it’s different now; Opportunity matter up at once and not stop has returned and given the t*econd until an express line has been knock and Central Point is wide-a-wake established, for nothing would to the situation. be of greater service to the busi- , ness interests of this territory. beware of the trusts The Herald has often called attention to the fact that it pays to trade at home.

Bennett's statement. The Oregon Mining Journal has lost $24 through a 22 year subscriber becoming bankrupt. The Journal ought to lose it, is the decision of the Herald. Any concern that is so careless in its business methods is bound to go broke sooner or later. The up- to-date newspaper man soon learns that the only safe and satisfactory way for editor and reader alike is to have a yearly settlement. The Herald is grad­ ually working to a cash in advance basis and finds it much more satisfactory to all con- cemed.
