The Hillsboro Independent g ot
oat a holiday edition last week
that was a credit to the pub
lisher and one which the people
o f Hillsboro may well feel prond
'o f .
In view o f the fact that there
is much talk o f the legislature
passing a bill to create a rail
road commission, all candidates
for appointment will please arise
and remain s t a n d i n g until
counted.
The latest report o f Dr. Cal-
breath, the superintendent o f the
asylum for the insane shows the
number of the inmates to be
1429, which makes a heavy per
cent when our limited popula
tion is considered.
The tone of the Canby Tribune
ol last week was rather gloom y.
Among other assertions made
on the editorial page was this:
“ M any a man has gone to the
gallow s or the penitentiary on
account o f the lies his personal
enemies have sworn against
him.” Cheer up old boy. Here
is hoping that it will not be so
bad as that.
If the male members o f the
various churches would put
forth half the effort made by
the ladies to meet the financial
needs o f the churches, the treas
ury would always be full enough
to meet all the necessary de
mands made upon it. The
writer always feels like doffing
his hat when he passes a little
company o f church women who
are engaged in an effort to make
a little money for some special
need o f a church that has not
been met, and he must confess
that the* ‘carnal nature’ ’ prompts
a desire to shy a brickbat at any
man w ho makes a disparaging
remark, directed against the
earnest efforts o f such a coterie
o f women folk.
The little tow n of Milwaukie
and the community surrounding
it has a record for desperate sui
cides and bloody murders that
is probably unequaled by any
other locality in Oregon, popu
lation considered, and the noto
rious “ Milwaukie Club House”
which is known all over as the
gamblers’ resort, is a blot on
the reputation of the tow n that
ought to make the citizens, w ho
permit it to r e m a i n , blush
tor shame. It appears however
that the people are well satisfied
with present conditions.
At
least William Shindler was again
elected m ayor last week by a
vote o f seventy-three to forty-
tw o, and he is the man w ho has
stood for the club house from
first to last. Any tow n that
bids for such a dive is in a poor
position to ask for anything
better.
Occasionally the editor o f the
Oregonian does not quite agree
with the Roosevelt policy, but if
a criticism is to be written he
anoints his head with oil before
the task is begun, lest offense be
given. It was not so during
the McKinley administration.
S cott’s dislike for McKinley was
so intense that he dipped his pen
in vitriol when a scathing criti
cism o f his policy was to be
written, and be even pursued
him long after he was in
grave. This well known
dency o f the editor o f the Ore
gonian to pursue dead men is a
reminder o f a dog story. The
owner of a dog with a bad repu
tation took the cur out and
killed him. A neighbor in pass
ing iom c time afterward found
the man with a club in hand
J
Not long ago there died in a
W alla W alla cell a poor, ragged,
bloated, uukept wretch without
a friend in the w orld to shed a
tear of sym pathy. No one cared
for him and no one mourned him.
“ Unwept, unhonored and un
sung” his bones were rattled
over the stones to the potters’
field. Fifteen years ago this
man, bright-eyed, erect, clean
limbed and yigorous stepped
aboard his train at Pendleton.
He wore the handsome uniform
of a railroad conductor, a place
to which he had steadily as
cended from the bottom round
o f the ladder. He greeted his
friends w ith a smile and his
friends were everywhere.
Off duty he indulged in a social
glass now and then with boon
companions. He w as popular,
deboniar and liberal. He had a
kind heart and w as landed as
one o f the m ost affable con
ductors on the road. His revels
increased in frequency for Pendle
ton was then and is now a so
cial place, and he liked to make
merry w ith them in a drinking
bout. His salary proved inade
quate for this pleasant pastime
and now and then some com
pany money went over the bar
easy “ pickup” and nobody to
reckon w ith except a possible
“ spotter,” despised by him and
his kind as the dirt beneath their
feet.
But the inevitable happened.
He lost his jo b . He took inferior
positions, descending the ladder
much more rapidly than he had
arisen. His appetite tor drink
was now a giant, powerful, per
sistant, insatiable. Vice claimed
him at last as all its ow n, body
and soul, and he filled a drunk
ard’s grave.
This man w as a “ g ood fellow ”
and “ one o f the boys.” He be
came a “ poor fellow ” and “ one
o f the trams.” W as the game
w orth the candle? W as his
wretched life w orth a few years
of fleeting pleasure?— Western
