Senator Wood, of Washington
county, evidently has a very
warm spot in his make-up for
the saloon men. He has a bill in
the legislature, the purport of
which is to make it easier to
secure a saloon license. As the
la w now is, a man must have a
majority of the names of the
voters in a precinct on his peti
tion in order to secure a license.
Under the terms of the Wood bill
the party desiringa license would
simply make application for the
same and then it would be up to
those who were opposed to show
by a remonstrance that a major
ity of the voters were not in
favor of the license being granted.
It would simply put the burden
of proof with the attendant ex
penses on the anti-saloon people.
This bill and the senator who in
troduced it, ohght to be put into
cold storage at the earliest possi
ble moment. The saloon busi
ness is a money-making proposi
tion, from start to finish. Take
aw ay the profits and it would
cease to be a menace to society.
Then if we must have saloons,
let the burden of proof rest with
the men who are to get the
profits.
Some people get red in the
face when they note inaccuracies
in the newspapers in giving ac
counts of happenings, but the
news that comes by grape-vine
dispatch is not always depend
able, it seems. Let an instance
be cited. Last week the «report
came in concerning a former resi
dent of Newberg now residing
outside the county, to the effect
that the woman, who, possibly
in an unguarded moment, had
promised to be a loving and de
voted wife to said former resi
dent ol Newberg, had in the heat
of passion felled her husband
with a blow made by an ax and
that the wound was dangerous.
Next day the grape-vine got hot
and husband was in a Salem
hospital for needed repairs. In
the afternoon he was dead in
s a i d hospital. The following
morning he was laid out on the
slab right here in Hollingsworth
& Son’s receiving rooms to lie
put in presentable condition to
be viewed and wept over by his
sorrowing friends. The atmos
phere along the streets seemed
to be overcharged with these
rumors and cross rumors, but
when boiled down, it appears
that in an effort to "persuade”
her husband the wife flourished
an ax handle which came in con
tact with the supposed “ head of
the house,” but instead of either
of the participants being dead,
both were, at last accounts, very
much alive and scrapping it out in
the courts. But the Graphic
does not vouch for even this
much of the story.
Quite often we find on answer
ing the telephone call some one
at the other end of the line who
wants to know if Newberg has a
humane officer. One day last
week the call came from a lady
who said some one had just
passed her place driving a skele
ton of a team that appeared to
have been beaten and starved
almost beyond endurance, and
her righteous wrath was up.
S h e wanted to know if there
was anyone in Newberg whose
business it was to look after the
protection of d u m b animals
found in the hands of brutes in
human form. We are very sorry
to say that all we could do was
to advise her to pursue the of
fender with a stuffed club, as we
have no humane officer. But is
it not about time we formed a
branch of the Portland Humane
Society and make it somebody’s
business to look after just such
cases as this?
Newberg and vicinity has just
escaped a .“ whitewash.” One
lone chicken represents them at
our poultry show this week, and
that fowl is for sale.—Telephone-
Register.
Just why the T. R. should
make this attempt to be funny
at the expense of the poultry
fanciers of “ Newberg and vicin
ity” who exhibited birds at the
McMinnville show to the num
ber of thirty-eight, is not easy to
a c c o u n t for. The exhibitors
were: R. 0. Winters, 8 birds; N.
L. Wiley, 9; C. E. Newhouse, 3;
Evans Bros., 7; J. P. Hall, 7; C.
F. Butler, 4. The T. R. man is
really a pretty good sort of a fel
low , but tor some time now he
has manifested a disposition to
“go off” at the mere mention of
Newberg. But don’t lay it up
against him too bard, boys, for
with a few warm days of early
springtime, he will thaw out and
be good again.
In looking over the pages of
the mammouth holiday edition
of the Los Angeles Times we
noticed in reading some short
sketches by a writer who was
telling of the possibilities of Cal
ifornia for the home-seeker of
limited means, that the style of
the author had a familiar ring,
and glancing down at the bot
tom ot the page we “ smole a
smile” as we read the name of
our old time newspaper friend,
E. C. Pentland, formerly of Inde-
pendence, P o l k county. N o w
Mr. Pentland is a booster from
aw ay back, for it was he who
established “ The West Side” at
Independence some twenty years
or more ago and through the
columns of that paper he came a
whole lot nearer making the
world believe that Independence
was the best town on the west
side of the Willamette than any
one else has ever done, and fur
ther, that the town was located
in the garden spot of the Pacific
Coast, next door to the Garden
of Eden. It is quite evident that
Mr. Pentland has improved with
age and experience and it is little
wonder that the Times manager
secured his services in making up
its holiddy edition.
Speaking of California boost
ers, there are others who started
their “pin feathers” in the coun
try “ where rolls the Oregon.
It was Mr. Pierce, formerly of
Union county, who showed the
railroad people how to make
millions out of sight-seeing cars
that run out of Los Angeles. He
went to the officials of one of the
companies and suggested a plan
for making what is now known
as the "Balloon” trip, daily out"
of Los Angeles, by way of Holly
wood, Santa Monica and twen
ty miles down the beach. The
officials shook their beads and
told Pierce he was visionary, but
he w as persistent and finally
pulled his scheme through by as
suming the “ burden of proof.”
For instance he agreed to pay so
much for each electric car used,
binding himself to take a certain
number of cars each day, and
took his chances on getting
anything out of it. The venture
was a success from the start and
when the contract expired the
company stuck Pierce for a big in
crease in the price per cat; and a
rake-off besides, and still he made
money.
And there is C. F. Moore,
formerly a dispenser of ladies’
complexion powders and other
necessary family medicines, in
Newberg, but of the silver linings
turned inside out, as be sees them
down in the boosters’ paradise,
it will require mpre time than
can be spared this week to tell,
for this is press day and the girls
at the cases say it is time to ring

6 cents for a bam sandwich, and then

I was In the delicatessen trade In New

suspicions. For 26 cents you can have
a club sandwich. That Is made o f toast
and chicken-turkey and bacon, all hot
and very good. It is well worth the
extra expense, because the smell o f
the bacon disguises that o f the chicken.
American bacon is not good. I t is

which costs 6 cents, and then go to ■

A MITE OF « REPUBLIC.
Moreanet Is Only One and a Quarter
Square Miles In Extent.
The smallest state In Europe, the
autonomous republic o f Moreanet, Is on
the boundary between Germany and
Belgium.
Moreanet has an area o f barely one
and a quarter square miles and a pop
ulation o f 3,600. It owea its existence
to a boundary controversy for the con
trol o f a once important zinc mine. A
boundary commission settling the fron
tiers o f Hollsnd and Prussia after the
fell o f Napoleon In 1814 was nnable to
agree upon the ownership o f this tiny
piece o f land, with Its valuable mining
rights, and finally left the question fo r
future settlement Neither power was
to occupy I t and It was administered
jointly by the two states.
In practice the joint administration
soon resulted in an administration by
neither state, and tbe community be
came 'autonomous under tbe protection
and tutelage o f Pruasla and Holland
j and later o f Prussia and Belgium. In
1841 the tw o guaranteeing countries
regularized this and formally gave tbe
district Its own Independent adminis
tration. It baa no courts, but litigants
can choose between the Belgium and

Disraeli and Fame.
Our note on the genius who mistook
Whistler fo r a star hailing from the

a still more weird identification. Lord
Houghton told the story: “ I walked
with Gladstone on Tuesday, and when
he left me a gentleman came up and
said, ‘Might 1 ask I f that was Mr. Dis
raeli?’ 8ucb is fame!”
Real fame, however, was once the
portion o f Disraeli.
