J. U. QUILLEN, Editor and Manager
Entered as second-class matter January
25, 1913, at the post office at Cottage
Grove, Oregon, under the Act of March
3, 1879.

The editor o f the Oregon Jour­
nal “ slopped over’ ’ Monday in a
double column editorial, in which
he declares that the Mexican
question has been settled, and
gives President Wilson all the
credit. The Journal editor has
the “ slopover” habit.
In that
line he has every other writer in
the state beaten to a standstill.
But the habit is a bad one, and
one that will sooner or latsr lead
to dowright lying. Every Amer­
ican citizen would be glad to feel
that the Mexican question is set­
tled, but it is not. Carranza,
the man President Wilson has all
along favored, is in the City of
Mexico with his army, but there
are more men outside o f the city
under arms than Carranza can
muster, and every one o f them
ready to follow a capable leader
to dispute the right o f Carranza
to rule Mexico,
President Wil­
son has done much deserving of
honest praise, but to say that he
has brought peace to Mexico, or
settled a single problem in the
disputes o f that restless people,
is speaking a little hastily to say
the least. So long as the Jour­
nal man wanted to get that stuff
out o f his system, he selected a
good time to do it, because three
months from now the Mexican
problem will loom as large as
ever on President Wilson’s hori­
zon, and then the Journal man
would be glad to deny the author­
ship o f Monday’s editorial.
His readers to the contrary
notwithstanding, the editor o f a
country newspaper is human,
subject to the same feelings as
other mortals, and not above ap­
preciating a return o f the compli­
ments that he dishes out so lib­
erally to the people o f his com­
munity. But the lord knows he
gets few enough words of appre­
ciation. The very novelty o f the
thing makes the editor more ap­
preciative o f the letter received
Friday, very generously com­
mending our “ Made-in-Oregon’ ’
number and ordering 100 extra
copies o f that issue. No one
works so unceasingly for the
good o f his community as the
publisher o f a country newspaper,
and no one’s efforts are taken so
much as a matter o f course.
A PRACTICAL PSYCHOLOGIC POEM
The Seattle Times, which has
almost an ironclad rule against
publishing poetry or verses of
any kind, gives space to the fol­
lowing dedicated to President
Wilson by an unknown writer,
sent by mail, under the caption
“ Merely Psychological” :
If the stock is down to twenty
That you paid a hundred for,
If the butcher and the grocer
Will not trust you any more.
If you’ ve given up your stateroom
On a trans-Atlantic ship.
And are going down to Coney
For your next vacation trip
Do not fuss or fret or worry,
But be patient and resigned.
For it’s merely psychological
Which means it's in your mind.
If the foreman comes and tells you
That the shop is going to close
I f you can not take the children
To the moving picture shows.
If the interest on the mortgage
Isn’ t anywhere in sight.
And the sheriff is expected
To foreclose it any night—
It will cheer you to remember
The depression that you feel
} f entirely psychological -
Which means it isn’t real.
Therefore, let your hopeful bosom
Give a psychologic throb—
Ask some psychologic brother
For a psychologic job ;
If your savings have been scat­
tered
In a psychologic crash—
Pay the grocer and the butcher
With some psychologic cash.
And you speedily will find your­
self
In psychologic health,
And possessed o f an embarass-
ment
Of psychologic wealth.

Harvey P. Dyer Passes Away
Harvey P. Dyer, who has been
for some time at the state hos­
pital or open air sanitarium at
Salem, died Sunday, August 16,
1914, from tuberculosis, and the
remains were shipped to this city
for interment, which took place

months and four days at the time

“ LATEST NEWSPAPER CENSUS”
The forty-sixth annual census
o f the Publishers o f the United
States and Canada appearing in
the American Newspaper Annual
is mighty interesting.
This publication is put out by
N. W. Ayer & Sons o f Philadel­
phia—and among the interesting
facts are the following:—
The total number o f publica­
tions is 24,527. There are 2,640
dailies the evening editions out­
numbering the morning by about
three to one. There are 572 Sun­
day papers. It requires forty
different languages to carry the
news to the people o f the coun­
try. Large lists are devoted to
the special publications, agricul­
tural, religious, etc., but every
class, every cult, every trade,
every profession, every fad, ev­
ery “ ism, ” has its printed spokes­
man in the 215 different lists
into which they are subdivided.
Only four industries now ex­
ceed in capital invested and value
o f products the business o f pub­
lishing and printing.
In ten
years the output increased 86 per
cent, and it is estimated that at
present the earnings o f the news­
papers and periodical, average
nearly a million and a half dol­
lars per calendar day.
Two-
thirds o f this amount, perhaps,
represents the income from ad­
vertising.
In the nature o f the
case no one individal can be fa­
miliar with a large part o f the
publishing industry, which is
carried on in more than 11,OCX)
different towns; each o f which is
located and described, • together
with all o f the publications, in the
latest report o f the publishing
world.
It is claimed that the agricul­
tural industries o f the United
States aggregate in value 60 per
cent o f the total amount o f all
products — and following only
three below this ¡sprinting, sure­
ly a position that entitles the
printing business to respect.

renders a distinct service and gives lull value received. Publishing is a pro­
fession rather fascinating in nature, hut d ow n at b o tto m , it is a hard dollars-

people are told the message o f the advertiser.
