ISSIKD KVERY FRIDAY, BY The Acorn Press, Publishers Monmouth, Oregon. Subscription Rates One year - $1 Six months 50 cts FRIDAY. JULY 9, 1909. We notice a general tendency towards socialism by the post office department of the General Government Very likely the assistant postmaster general who is so persistantly advertising and pushing the sale of return card envelopes would fall dead if he were aeused of being boosted for socialism, but he is and a very bad form of it for it is class so cialism. He is working against the small printer and at the same time making him pay for what he has not. In other words he takes the business away from the printer and in so doing causes an increase in the postal deficit, which must be met by taxation. This taxation must Ik? made up largely by printers and those from whom they ex pect to get their incomes. Is it lair? Is it just? Xo.v if this thing is to be done as it is being done, we must ask that the same privileges be granted to the people along other lines. If we are to have socialism in the printing department of the gov ernment then we should have it in the dry goods and grocery de partments' also. The govern ment lets a contract to a Day-! ton, Ohio iirm to print its enve- ways be jangling and trouble. If the government were doing its own work, or otherwise, at a fair profit, so that the printers of the country would not be taxed to pay the deficit caused bv robbing them of business, it would be a different matter, but we, with thousands of other printers, will continue to protest against this injustice until it is remedied. To add insult to in jury the postal big bugs want to increase the rate of jostage on second class matter, thus hitting the countrv printers an extra welt, for the majority of news pajiers in the United States do job work from which they reap a large part of their income. Another phase of the matter is this: while the country editor i boosting for his local merchant and fighting the mail order house, the merchant is going to the postmaster and ordering his printed envelops of the govern ment. Is it fair? (KEEP. THE FLIES '.Off The murder of Elsie Sigel by her Chinese lover in New York ought to be a lesson to white people to keep their daughters out of the so-called 'missions" in the cities. This is one of those that have been made pub lic, but it i only one uf many, for there is more or les of a de sire among whites to keep such things quiet. Let the Chinese follow out their own jteculiar religious beliefs and practices, so long as they keep within the pale of the law. Christianizing such jeople is mighty poor jol icy, but if people want to do it, they should be compelled to do it through the efforts of men or of scrawney old maids and not the prettiest girls that can be found in the community.
