THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1905,
The Salem Journal says two leagues
are at work in Western Oregon— the
Willamette Valley development league
and the Anti-Saloon League. Both
want to see a greater depth of water
on the bar.
/
While we are on the road question
and lest we forget, the streets of our
city need a great deal oJ attention, and
the time to attend to them is now.
Main Street and Pacific Avenue during
the last few days of rainy weather were
a disgrace, and no person with civic
pride should be content until some
thing is done toward their permanent
improvement.
longs and that duty is, to give thought
ful and sincere consideration to the
selection of men for our coming dele
gation in Congress. With our Senior
Senator and one of our Congressmen
under conviction of crime before the
Circuit Court of the United States for
Oregon, and the other Congressman
under indictment, the men whom we
send to Washington will be scrutinized
more closely than those of any other
s ate, and our entire citizenship (as
honest, intelligent, industrious and
progressive as that of any other state )
will be judged largely by the integrity,
intelligence, and industry of those
whom we select as our representatives.
Considering this, does not the short
poem of J. G. Holland, entitled
“ Wanted—Men” , seem to fit the
occasion?
“ God give us men! A time like this
demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith
and ready hands;
Men whom the lust of office does not
kill;
Men whom the spoils of office cannot
buy;
Men who possess opinions and a will;
Men who have honor, and will not lie;
Men who can stand before a demagogue,
And damn their treacherous flatteries
without winking;
Tall men, sun-crowned men, men who
live above the fog
In public duty and private thinking.
For when the rabble with their thumb
worn creeds,
Their large professions and their little
deeds,
Mingle in selfish strife-lo Freedom
weeps,
Wrong rules the land, and waiting jus
tice sleeps.”
It is to be hoped that the “ reversion
of title” to property in this city upon
which intoxicating liquors are supposed
to have been sold will be settled this
time and for all time. It strikes us
however, that the cases that have been
pending in our Circuit Court for three
or four years, if pushed to an issue or
decision, might have answered the
