Salutatory
In accordance with the “ time-
honored” customs of the craft,
editors, on taking charge of
publication, have set forth
“ declaration of intentions,
“ confession of faith,' emphasiz
ing the great things they expect
to accomplish and the amelora-
tion of human misery.
In taking charge of the Falls
City News we shall make no rash
promises. IV e shall not attempt
to change the even tenor of the
lives of the good citizens of Falls
City, stir up any internal strife
nor act as “ mediator” in any
“ peace conference.”
We do
however, purpose to give our
readers a clean newsy paper anc
support such measures as will
in our humble judgement, work
the greatest good to the greatest
number.
For a newspaper to be success
ful it must have, not only the
financial but the moral support
of the good citizens of the com
munity in which it circulates
shall be our earnest endeavor to
merit such confidence and sup
port. It is our desire to retain
the friendship and esteem of the
old friends a^d patrons of the
paper and secure as many new
ones as possible. We shall be
pleased to have them call that
we may get acquainted and thus
be mutually benefitted.
Yours very truly,
D. L. W ood & S on
MEMORIAL DAY
Once again the few remaining
veterans of the civil war slowly
wended their way to “ God’s
Acre” to pay a loving tribute to
comrades who have answered to
the last roll call. It is but a few
years since these same men in
vigorous manhood with martia
tread followed the flag, fife and
drum and fired salutes over the
graves of the honored dead. To
day but few of the rank and file
are left. The gray haired vet
eran is content to allow younger
men to “ mark time” and fire
salutes while they ride in auto
mobiles. It is with a feeling of
sadness that one watches these
old heroes as they turn away
from the last resting place o1f
their comrades, and perchance
ere the next memorial day shal
have rolled around that they too
may be sleeping beneath the sod
and loving hands will strew their
graves with flowers?
It is said that the civil war was
a national necessity, and in its
fiery furnace the discordant ele
ments have been welded and we
stand today, "One flag, one
country, one destiny,” and that,
the highest good of human en
deavor against which the forces
of the world can not prevail
against.

Extracts From Common
wealth Conference
A. H. Harris, editor of t'-e
Labor Press of Portland, and a
member of the Workingmens
Compensation Commission, sur
prised the conference by declar
ing that the minimum wage was
wrong in theory and would not
work well in practice as advocat
ed by Dr. Parker of California.
Mr. Harris declared: “The
minimum wage theory presumes
it is possible to fix a living wage
of subsistence for one class by
another, when no class has any
right to declare what the level of
existence for another class should
be.” Mr. Harris’ utterances
seemed to be free from taint of
unhealthy sentimentalism and
academic cant.
Such practical matters as build
ing state buildings of Oregon
stone that would open stone
quarries ar.d employ stone
masons in fabricating ma'erial
instead of shipping it in already
manufactured did not concern
the professional prosperty restor
ers at the conference.
Ball Game
There will be a ball game at the
City I’ark Sunday afternoon, Salem
vs Falls City. The Falls City boys
have made good so far and deserve
encouragement. The game will be
called at 2:00 o’clock sharp.
