THE REASON WHY.
The degraded child-life that has been
uncovered in Son Franclscco, and In our
next-door neighbor, Portland, within the
last few weeks, has both a certain cause
and points as certain a moral. The cause
is the shameful "dragging up" that too
many parents among us practice with
seemingly no regard for the future of the
family or the sacredness of the home.
This is no fancy,' but a fact A parent
believes a child so honest that he may
handle money uncounted, yet wonders
that the child forgeti the value of prop
erty and the meaning: of property right
Others do not stop to notice whether
their children's thoughts flow in pure or
Impure channels, whether they read help
ful or demoralizing books, whether they
meet good or bad companions. Yet they
call their erring children unworthy of
them. Everybody knows such oases and
recognizes the evil. Parental responsi
bility is a commonplace of moral teach
ing which, like many another axiom of
duty, meets with general acceptance. To
call attention to It is to run the rUk of
advocating a- recognised truth, 1 ut there
is here no danger of preaching In favor
of a universal practice.
Many agencies are at work for the up
lifting of the masses. Fathers and
mothers are being Instructed in their
higher duties to their children, and chil
dren are taught to be Industrious, sober,
cleanly and honest. This ettort is Hie
work of society to ward off Its own de
struction by the Improvement of its worst
elements. But when tbe better elements
In that society becomes careless of per
petuating their own virtues, the utility of
missionary work becomes doubtful. If
the educated families are too absorbed In
their own pursuits to train their children
properly, the general welfare Is seriously
threatened. Criminals can be kept In
order, poverty relieved, dangers external
and Internal can be averted so long as the
moral fibre of the well-to-do and well
behaved body of citizens Is preserved.
How It educates Its children Is something
more thun a question for the home and
the pulpit. It Is a question whlcn con
cerns the state. Altogether too large a
proportion of tlio worthless and criminal
population springs not from a criminal
ancestry, but from respectable families
so careless, so foolish, so material that
they take no pains to guard their chil
dren against early growths of tendencies
to evil..
CARLYLK'S CENTKNAHYV
One hundred years ago today Thomas
Carlyle was brought Into a world he did
his full share to astonish, entertain, per
plex and confound. Beyond the opening
of a show of portraits and brlo-a-brao
at his old home, no notice of the tact Is
to be made on the other sldo of the water,
where but a few weeks since the air was
full of Keats' centenary.,
It Is the rule often proved In history
thut in proportion as men make personal
stir In literature during their lives tliey
make less after death. Keat :vas almost
nobody while he livedo -Year by year Ills
place In the sAilfiiUton and worship of
inQnJlld-.s more assured. Carlyle dur
' "Ing his life was as conspicuous hnd as
forceful a personality as Humuol Johnson
In his day. With his death his fame was
bound to decline within that domain
where the' only test Is not personal im
prcsslveness but the enduring quality' of
the written word. Hud time required
any artificial aid to settle Carlyle more
speedily Into his due and abiding estate,
the brutal course of his executor, Froude,
supplied what served effectually to dis
illusion a generation.
Nevertheless, even with time, the fame
of Carlyle cannot fade. It rests upon a
body of powerful and permanent work,
Informed with surpassing graip of Kreat
events, authentic In what purports to be
merely the Judgment of a fallible human
being and sincere in Its loyalty to the
author's perceptions and convictions.
After Froude. the lnslnore, the untruth
teller, shall have sunk Into the neglect
due to history written according to the
ethics of the counterfeiter, and Ravels
depleted with lofty disdain of facts,
Carlyle will bo road for iho splendor of
his dramatic sceiics -as witness his
French Revolti lien and for the tender
ness of his sympathy with lowliness and
love witness tlio essay on Durns.
An earthquake In Consiuntinoplo Just
now, If It were severe enough, would
clear the political atmosphere for the lime
being, calling the truce of Clod among the
Infuriated factions and enforcing It at
Uast upon such as were burled if Its
ruins. There has been enough scattered
sehmlc agitation In the vicinity during
the last year to lay In the dust the dome
of Sophia and the crvscenta. temple and
palace If it had been concentrated upon
them. Relief from critical social and
t'oittt. ftl conditions la not always to be

but Hi thing nilirht happen, and If Con-i-'..iiiltuiH

as the hills, and mlfciit bS Productive of
snltttarj' consequences all round. It has
been the thrbno and fortress of tnlsrulo
ulmout since sweet Europa's mantle blow
unclasped at any rats, since It first up-,
ptared in hlotory. Dut It will probably
continue In its place in splto of all forms
cf cosmic agitation, as it has done for so
many centuries, though it Is likely to
change tenants now und then In the
fulifre, as In the past. 6uc!i a change
Just at present appears rather Imminent,
but political weather signs over there are
habitually misleading, and the threatened
storm, black as It looks, may blow away.
It Is not often that voters have a chancj
to honor with their confidence a man so
thoroughly worthy as is Mr. Henry Nel
son. Years ago, in the halcyon days of
salmon canning, as bookkeeper And par
tial manager for the West Coaut Packing
Co. and the Fishermen's Packing Co., his
worth as a careful, honest man of busi
ness was fully proven. These two In
stitutions were the most prosperous and
progressive of all the cooperative cainer
les, and a great deal of this success was
due to his care and foresight. His famil
iarity with his profession enables him to
systematize and reduce to the simplest
form the clerical work and accounts of
any employer that seeks his services. His
long residence In this city, his fidelity
to the highest Interests of the Republican
party, during all of that time, and his
present position as a candidate without
solicitation, all combine to make him
worthy of any honor that may be bestow
ed on him. The books of the city of As
toria are In a condition which is the nat
ural result of incompetency. The present
Incumbent has never attempted to better
tholr condition because he didn't know
how, and for that matter no man who
has ever occupied the position has really
been capable of performing ' its duties.
Mr. Kelson will work as faithfully for
the city, as he has worked for private in
dividuals, and, what Is more to the point,
he knows how to do It. His opponent
does not.
When Osburn heelers solicit you for
votes ask them If they can say a word
against Mr. Nelson's ability, or hgalnst
his reputation. Ask them what krhd of
service they think he would render If he
were elected to the position of audi. or a id
police Judge. Then vote accordingly.
The fact has been established beyond ar
gument or question that Dr. Alfred Kin
ney, C. J. Curtis, and Kleber Osburn, have
formed a political combination with the
object of electing themselves to office re
gardless of the fate of anybody else on
either ticket In the field. No trick will
be overlooked by this Trinity of Ignor
ance, during the next 1ve days; no argu
ment will be too coarse to use in the at
tempt to gain a few paltry votes. There
Is one consolation. Standing together,
they will go down together.
We will give Mr. Osburn from now to
the day of election to present to the pub
lic a tilal balam a and a balunco sheet,
showing the onditljn of the olly's af
fairsnot half a dozen meaningless rows
of figures thrown together, but a correct
and complete trial balance and balance
sheet. Of course he can't do it, but we
would really like to have him try. Just
for the purpose of showing the public
how near he comes to being a bookkeeper,
After Mayor Kinney got the railroad
(at Flavel), and a saw mill (at Flavel)
and a flour, mill (at Flavel), and an ele
vator (at Flavel), he can take Osburn and
Curtis along with him and start up a lit
tie political party of his own. Then they
will be able to get Flavel incorporated,
and pass a charier through the legisla
ture. Just think, what a sweet thing,
what a poem In blank verse, that charter

All the rider must do Is to mount the

he may run any number of miles, when

situated as to gove occupants all the
advantages to be derived from a more
or less protracted residence in this de
llghtful climate.
(From the San Francisco Argonaut.)
"In the heart of the great desert ol
the Colorado which the Southern Pa-
o.lfio road traverses there Is an oasis
called Indio, which, in our opinion,
the sanitarium of the earth. We be
lleve, from personal Investigation, thai
for certain Invalids, the-e is no spot oi
this planet so favorable.
G. T. Stewart, M. D., writes: "Tb
purity of the air, and the eternal sun
ahlne, Mil jme with wonder and delight.
Nature has accomplished st
much that there remains but little for
man to do. As to Its possibilities a." a
health resort, here Is the most per
feet sunshine, with a temperature a)
ways pleasant, a perfectly dry soil
for rain is an unknown factor; pure
oxygen, denpa atmosphere and pure
water. What more can be desired?
It is the place, above all others, for
lung troubles, and a paradise for rheu
matics. Considering the number of
sufferers who have been cured, I havf
no hesitancy In recommending this
gpnlal oasis as the haven of the afflict
ed."
