Editorial
THURSDAY,
Washington and Lincoln.
February nan the honor of being the birth month of the two great
est men that America bun produced and two of the greatest in all the
files of titn. Washington and Lincoln! What one couritry can point
to two names in its history that rank with America's immortals?
All the world l.ai conceded Washington's place, and all the world,
except n few small -bores here in the United States, concede that in
equipment both of mind and heart Abraham Lincoln ia the peer of
any man in all the annals of history.
A s imple of the small-liores is a fellow named Lovell, of Pendleton,
who made an address in Portland on Lincoln's birthday r d eaid in
substance that he whom J.tmes Russell Lowell called "'the first and
greatest American," wa6 not a stat sman, nor a lawgiver, nor an orator,
nor a publicist, n r a soldier of the first rank! He ;ve Lincoln credit
Of being unrivalled an a ''humanitarian" and that whs all.
The Pendleton.man has rend history to little purpose. or else has
not read it at all. The renins that detected and corrected Seward's mis
tikes, and unerringly pointed out the true course amid the shoals of
European hostility, not a great statesman? Th genius that drew and
promulgated at just the right time the moat momentous act since the
adoption of the constitution, not a great law-giver? The genius that gave
forth the Gettysburg address and the Seor.nd Inauvural, not a great
orator? The genius who spake the words that formed the rallying
point for the growth of the Republican party, not a great publicist?
The genius whose "suggestions" for military movements, when followed,
always brought victory, and disaster always followed when disregarded;
tie civic commander in-chief of all the armies of the Union, of, whom
it was said by a great critic, "He was a greater strategist than any of
his generals," not a great soldier? And such is fame in one's own
country where Lo veils abound.
Next year is the centenary of Lincoln's birth. The News Record
believes a national celebration should be held, and would like to see
Oregon lead the movement..
One of the unpleasant surprises of the beginning of the campaign is
the Oregonian jo: ing ha nils with the forces of reaction Hnd political
corfuptionists in seeking to overthrow -tne election of United States
senators by the people and a return to the old bargain and sale way.
Thecomtitution of the United S ates prescribes that the president
shall be elected by electors chosen by the people. In reality people
vote directly for president; the electors are mere nonenities, pieces of
machinery to carry out the will of the people of their state. As far as
the election of United States senator is concerned, members of the'legis
lature should resemble presidential electors and simply carry , out the
will of the people. Statement No. 1 accomplishes this and the people
will see that only St itenent No. 1 candidates for the legislature are
elected.
Everyone Can Help.
Dnring the four months last yeur that the colonist rates were in
effect 27,215 people came to Oregon from the East, or 227 people for
every day of the 120 days. This was achieved, says the Portland Com
mercial club, by direct adver ising sending local papers, letters and
descriptive pamphlets to ' f rends. The colonists rates go into effect
again on March 1. If between now and then every citizen of Wallowa
county will send one of the descriptive slips to a friend in the East
many settlers will be induced to come. The? cost is practically nothing, A one
cent stamp will send the slip, and you mn procure the slips free from any of the
following, or they will gladly nmil the slips if you will send the addresses :

Hustle vs. Patience.
The people of Asotin county are in downright ear net t about a railroad
Into the interior of the county. A promotor named McKean has secured thous
ands of dollura in stock subscriptions, to be paid in cash, material, labor or right
of way, from the land owners and other residents of the Cloverland and Anatone
districts. Tho representative men of the towns ot Asotin, Clarkston and Lewis
ton have guaranteed (300,000 to the first railroad connecting those towns with
Cloverland and Anatone. "
Strange to say that the news of the meeting that guaranteed this fund had
hardly reached KeYork before the order for resumption of work on the O. R.
& N. line from Rlpsria to Lewiston was Issued !
Our neighbors on the north know how to prick the construction depart
ment of the O. R. & S. into activity.
All things come to them who hustle while they wait. "

' s SEARS & ROEBUCK IHOICTEP,
.The Boot and Shoe Recorder in a
recent issue contf ins the follow itic:
Regular retail dealers who complain
of tl.e competition of the bi mail order
concerns, base their complaints mostly
on the nnfair and misleading description
of the goods offered in the bulky cata
logues sent out. That thore is reason
for these complaints is evidenced by
the fact that an indictment was re
turned by the United States district
court for the southern dintrict of Iowa,
against the firm of Sears, Roebuck &
Co., of Chicago, charging fraudule:.t
use of the mail for misrepresenting the
character of the goods sold and for
warded by mail, and obtaining money
under false pretense.
The action of the grand jury is the
result of the activities of W. J. Pilking
ton, editor of the "Merchants' Trade
Journal'. of Des Moines, la., who for
more than two years has been at work
publicly and through the columns of
his journal in au effort to prove that
this inncern has been, and is now,
violating the laws of the country with
renpect to the manner of securing trade,
Tho indictment sets forth in detail
three counts, one of which was for the
i-ale of paint which the concern stated
in a certain letter contained white lead
and was mu!e in their own great paint
factory under the supervision of the
finest of pnlnt experts. The evidence
showed that the concern did not operate
a paint factory of its own, and that the
paint in question (which was Boot by
mail did uot contain white lead.
The second count referred to a ring
advertisement-by specific number in
the catalogue which was described and
illu.-itra.ted as containing four pearls and
four Kupphires, when as the ring as sent
by mail did not contain any pearl or
any sapphin s and was of generally
inferior quality.
i ne third count also refers to a ring
ilhistratid and described as containing
12 pearls and two i ubies. ',
The Sears, Roebuck & Co. concern
have directed a great business, ' and
report sales In 1900, all by mail orders,
to the amount of $53,000,000, no sales
being made in the city of Chicago.
They print and mail a 1.300 nao-e cata
logue, and deal directly with consumers
living in agricultural and remote set'
tions, celling all sorts of m rohardise
There U no doubt that they will make
a strong defense ard will depend on
their resources to w ear out I lie pros
ecution. FA1RVIEW FANCIES
