Jefferson, although a small city, has gone into the street paving business and will im prove her streets. Street im provement sometimes works a hardship on adjoining residents, but we have noted that perma nent improvements have, gener ally speaking, advanced the price of the property improved more than the cost of the im provement. In Salem outlying districts have beeu petitioning for street improvement, while some six years ago there was a different tale when street paving com menced. Monmouth ought soon to look a little in that direction. Main street from Broad to Monmouth avenue would look very hand some if put in good condition, and then the dust worry and ex pense of oiling would be over. Of course we all hollow when we are hit, but after we worry through the trouble, we are better off than we were before.' while every time we conquer a trial we are better fitted to climb over. the next one. Persons who use their energies intelligently to advance their interests succeed and cities rep resent the energies of their builders, but where energy is allowed to consume in idleness and sloth, nothing desirable results. Through inquiry into election expenses came the information that a millian and a half dollars were used to make W. H. Taft president in the year 1908, and that a great part of this fund was raised by J. P. Morgan and Henry Clay Frick. Now the question arises: Why did Morgan and Frick pay large sums to secure this election? Was it for pure love of country or for some other purpose? These men are not over-burdened with patriotism, so we can hardly attribute their gifts to disinterested motives, and hence there is the strong sug gestion of obligation to the in terests of Morgan and Frick and the interests they represent. The American people should devise means whereby they elect their officers without obligation to vast interests nor bosses. Senator La Follette says in closing his autobiography: "When Roosvelt became presi dent, the total amount of the stock and bond issues of all combinations and trusts, in cluding the railways then in combination, was only $3,784 000,000. When he turned the country over to Taft, whom he had selected as his successor, the total capitalization of the trusts and combinations amounted to the enormous sum of $31,672,000,000, more than 70 per cent of which was water." Lend n hand to the producer, i Neglect the speculator. Finance the lcgitimato.essential industry. I Establish market conditions which will protect every man who wrings wealth from the soil, forest, mine, water or factory. Make every public question shape to tit the cause of peace ful, general progress, which would distribute the wealth of the world among the real work ers. Oppress the social para site. Reward the men who have a serious purpose, who shun gambling profits for the slower returns of creative effort. Teach the young that the idle are wicked, unto themselves, unto their brethren, and unto the power that gave life. Strive that none shall profit from ob structive tactics among life's serious workers. Brand the wanton in morals and achieve ment. Tie to the chariot of in herited wealth and power, a sense of responsibility in the world, even though such persons must be stripped. Make com munity progress a duty which will bring shame if violated and shirked. Telegram. The Road Drag Makes Better Roads. A firm believer in and advo cate of the road drag savs: "When a spell of wet weather delays farming operations, there are two things for the farmer to do; he may loaf around the farm pottering here and there and losing most of his time, or he may get out on his roads and do some thorough, lasting road improving. Wet weather is the time to use the split-log drag and immediate results will be seen in a lessened amount of dust and the absence of deep ruts. The drag places the road way in shape to e bed the rain water, which, on undragged roads, fills up the ruts and hol low spots, sinks into the road and eventually ruins it Roads repaired only once a year are frequently impassable holes of mud, but roads on which the drag is systematically used and after each rain soon become of proper shape to shed the water and remain hard and firm." Pacific Homestead. The Progressive party in convention at Pprtland last week named as delegates to the Chicago convention H. W. Coe, D. L- Povey, Bruce Dennis, E. A. Holmes, and Frank Hughes. The Presidential electors nomi nated are Dan Kellaher, L. W. Meyers, W. K. Newell, K. Ware and L. H. McMahan. From the activity in the third party camp, one would judge that the progressives mean business or else are running a very strong bluff. All eyes will be looking Chicago-ward next week while the public ear will be turned in the sume direction to hear he result from the convention which assembles there on August 5th. There is no tell ing how far-reaching will be the influence energized there when the Roosevelt followers get their machine into action.
