Published every Thursday at Estacada, Oregon, by the ESTACADA (A PUBLISHING COMPANY, CORPOH ATION.) S ubscription R ates : OneJYear • 8ix Month* $1.W( . . . • .76 ANSWER THE CALL There’e a Btreak of the nomadic in every male human being which at times is bound to assert itself in a longing to get out into the wild an infrequented places. Such a feeling comes over a man as the summer solstice approaches and the blood in his veins which has thick ened through a winter of inactivity begins to tingle and course through his system in renewed activity and put notions into his head that brings visions of wood and stream and mountain scenes which beckon him forth. The song of a robin, the chirp of other feathered folk, the early rising sun driving away the mists, the heat of the sweltering pavements, th emad rush of human ity hither and yon pursuing its end less chase after money, all sugest to the nomadic mind that he wants to get away from it all and spend a season amid natural scenes, to dis card formal dress, to array himself in coarse clothing, take rod and gun and hie himself away from the haunts of other men and society and indulge a brief spell in enjoyment of his savage nature. It has been sug gested in these columns that East ern Clackamas county, starting from Estacada, furnished a-plenty to satisfy the longing of the kind that amid the forests, along the a bouding streams, the close neighbor hood of snow-capped mountains, where nature lies as yet unadorned was one of the most easily reached and prolific of all a nature-loving hiker could desire to use the energy that has lain dormant within him during the winter months. To say that a short season spent along th headwaters of the Clackamas will re turn the hiker to his business or avocation again a changed and bet ter man, is no idle fiction of some brain that has never experienced such a vacation. If one can drop care and worry, go ou t on the trails, stumble over fallen trees cast a luring fly and sense the keen thrill of landing gamey mountain trout, climb the dizzy heights and lend a listening ear to the sounds of the forest, who is there among all who have tried it so ungrateful to say he was not rejuvenated and filled with such pep when he re turned that his associates were in clined to believe ha had been re born? Got out and enjoy a time of this. If not today, some other day, but sometime, without fail/ Those who favor a return to the old representative convention sys tem say that the primary has not as a general thing brought better men to office, but on the other hand has discouraged many able men from running. In its direct appeal t0 the people, and the opportun ty ¡n muny states for the success of minority candidates, it has encour aged demagoguery and the “show man type of politician, who counts on getting by in the primary by the spectacular, rather than through any merit or ability to hold the office to which h8 aspires. That this sentiment for abolish ing or modifying the primary is not confined to Washington, but is preading through the states, is in dicated by the example Of Indiana, Where the Republican and Demo cratic state conventions both have gone on record for the abolishment of the state-wide primary. VOCATIONAL EDUCATION IN PORTLAND might have had a loyal people, will ingly supporting the government upon n basis of reasonable expendi ture and reasonable progress, they turned from such loyalty and the kingdom was disrupted. “There is nothing mysterious or hard to understand in this Bible lory, if we apply to our own af fairs the principles and events and the public policies which character ized the reign of Solomon and Reho boam. The people, once arrouseci to consciousness that thqir property was being taken from them, and the normal fruits of the labor de voted to unnecessary public uses, sounded the knell of doom for pub lic officials who had brought to pass such a deplorable fiscal and econ omic situation, “And so there is a lesson for pub lic officials in the first Book of Kings.”—Banner-Courier. ‘ Notes and Comment bootlegjfer has only one to look out for. Portland man sued a physician and a hospital head for damages for pawning off on him a baby which •hey claimed was given birth by his wife. But he got a tip, the wife confessed the child was procured through a newspaper ad, and thus spilled the beans. It's a wise father who knows his own son, isn’t it? One would quitae naturally say that an onion in whatever shape it might be was still an onion, but not so. The tariff places a duty of one cent on onions. An importer re ceived a shipment of onions put up in vinegar and the customs declared them “vegetables, pickled” on which there is a duty of 35 per cent. He therefore made a kick, and it took a decision from the high court of Customs Appeals to decide the case. Therefore, onions in their natural state are onions, but undressed and in vinegar they are “vegetables, pickled.” It is no small wonder that Pen nsylvania is wet or that the coun try at large has no occasion to brag of our democracy, when con gressmen are put up and knocked down to the highest bidder. New- berryism in Michigan was only a marker to that last instance of foul politics.
