THURSDAY, APRIL, 27, 1905 Njte and Comment. ‘‘The World do move.” And Forest Grove is in the lead. That’s a natural consequence where the people are as energetic as they are in Forest Grove. * 9 9 If there is a town in Oregon that can “ buckle up” to the record made by the citizens of Forest Grove during last winter, in the way of building and improving, we are willing to enter “ a plea in abatement.” 9 9 9 The press is the most abused insti tution in existence today by actual count. Why? Just because it is the most liberal. Anything that comes along, no matter-whether it is a church social, public entertainment or even a World’s fair; or perhaps some railroad company is going to do some wonder ful thing about their trains, or some monthly magazine is going to print a new story, that it wants the people to know about and the press is the me dium looked to to give notice, and some of them are not a bit backward about asking for space, which as a rule they always get. But wait a minute! When the press wants anything this is how it gets it. Excluding the churches, which goodness knows, are entitled to all the assistance the press can give, and we believe The News has been as liberal as any. We find that urgent business calls us to some other city, but before we are able to get transportation, which we have al ready paid for in contract advertising, we must make application to the local agent setting forth our wants, which is sent to the head office to be 0 . K.d by there anager, countersigned by the general ticket agent, stamped by the issuing clerk, finger marked by the of fice boy and charged up to our advei- tising account, and then mailed to the local ticket agent ready for delivery. But the railroads are not the only ones. There’s the ten cent magazine scratch ing for an existence and getting it principally through the generosity of the country press, and a whole lot of “ enterprises” that are maintained in the same way. Even Oregon’s pride, the Lewis and Clark fair, has been liberally supported by the press, and as a courtesy this is what it gets: “ To the press upon receipt of written application signed by fo re st S it rooe » ^Sak erij W e have always on hand a full line of fresh Bread, Pies, Cakes, Pastry Confections SPEC IAL O R D E R S SU PPL IE D O N SH O R T N O TIC E GEO.

Perhaps a near friend or acquaintance is being spoken of in a way that would be better if it were left unsaid. Did you ever catch youiself speaking ill of your neighbor or friend when really there is no call for it? Did you ever make a remark about your town or some institutions in it that would have done no harm to have left unsaid? Too many times are we apt to show our dislike—and it is most always from prejudice which does nobody any good. If we would pros per we must unite.

At the present time it is placed at $110,000,- 000,000. During this half century the population of the country was mul tiplied by less than three and one-half while the wealth was multiplied by a little more than thirteen. During this period every person’s share in the total wealth was multiplied by four. The census of fifty years ago showed that the United States in point cf wealth stood below half a dozen nations of the old world. Today all those na tions have been entirely outdistanced. In a recent number of the world’s work, C. M. Hovev gives some start ling figures. H e says: “ Although the United States comprised only 5 per c^nt of the world’s population, it pro duced, according to the last census, 22 per cent of the world’s wheat, 30 per cent of its gold, 32 per cent of its coal, 33 per cent of its silver, 34 per cent of its manufactures, 35 per cent of its iron, 36 per cent of its cattle, 38 per cent of its steel, 50 per cent of its petroleum, 54 per cent of its copper, 75 per cent of its cotton and 84 per cent of its corn. “ Though the United States has only a twentieth of the world’s inhabitants, it has a fifth of the world’s stock of money and a fourth of its gold coin and bullion. The United States has two-thirds ($14,000,000,000) of the world’s banking power— capital, sur plus, deposits and circulation. Her pre-eminence iq these directions has been obtained in the past twenty years. Between 1890 and 1904 the banking strength of the world grew 105 per cent and that of New York City 190 per cent. “ How is all this wealth distributed? The farmers and planters of the coun try received last year more than $6,- 000,000,000 for their products. This equals the wealth of the entire country in 1845. The product of the coun try’s mines for 1904 amounted to $1,- 500,000,000. The United States has a third of all the money deposited in the savings banks of the world. At the beginning of 1905 there were in the United States 212,000 miles of railroad, as compared with 300,000 miles for the entire world outside. The railroads earned $2,000,000,000 in 1904, and have in their employ 1,300,000 persons.” Here is how the principal countries of the world stand in wealth in 1905: United States.........$110,000,000,000 United K ingdom .. . 55,000,000,000 France...................... 50,000,000,000 G erm any.................. 48,000,000,000 R u ssia...................... 35,000,000,000 A ustria-Hungary.. . 30,000,000,000 I t a l y ........................ 18,000.000,000 Spain........................ 12,000,000,000 BUSIN ESS SP EC IA LS Finest Line o f Sweaters in Town, from 50c up to $5 i An Immense Line of Straw and Cam as H ats from 1 Oc to $ 1.50 few more Genuine U.
