SALVATION ARMY.
The Salvation Army is actively en
gaged in preparing for ite Annual
Week of 8lf-Denial, which bas now
become an established onatoin throogh
ot the world. The dates fixed are
April ltn toafitb. Last year the army
raised a princely sum by this means,
which enabled it to pursue its Mis
sionary, Spiritual and Social Work
with uninterrupted access. Few
pen tint seem to realise what a vast
aad world wide movement this has
become. The mortem crusaders have
now mure than 18,715 officers uuder
their banners, working in sums fifty
four different counties and colonies,
and In tbair own . energetlo way tbey
re preaching the gospel to the poor
la about 80 dlffereot languages. Of
social Institutions the army bas now
vast network, numbering in all
kinl 1UH Th. a.n.a a. Ml ..,,.,
same very self-saoriflaina measure in
order to raise the amount of money
greed opoo. Every member, a)
well as the friends of tbe movement,
is being requested to abstain from
any articles of food, or clothing
which nisy be considered in the leant
degree luxurious or unnecessary.
That tba effort will meet with suooeas
goas without saying, andjthers is oo
doubt that the friends of the move
ment reongulslng the vast amount of
good already aooomplished will not
fail to afford their practical aisslst
noe when tbe proper time arrives.

OFFICERS "MEDDLING
IN AFFAIRS OF THE CITY
:
I
Vigorous Exprsmslon of Oregon
Sheriff on Clylo Unrlght
oneness.' Tbe editorial columns of the Ore
poniao are so completely and ably
voicing the sentiments of the moral
pe pi of Oregon on tbe question of civic ooudition ao long as n contno
law and order that little remains to I ate to bia financial welfare. Of
he aid. However, there la one Terr ' conrae be doesn't want any sheriff to
important i-sne along that line upon
which tha writer has noticed scarcely
any oomment in tbe publio press. We
refer to the question of "whether or
not couuty officers have a right to
uji-ddle in matters periainiog to city
affair." Ills matter that ia being
d iciis d and axilated in the samll
towns and cities throughoat the Stat"
of Oregon.
This question has become so aoule
in Southern Oregcn that Mayor Red
dy, of Medford, has filed with the
Secretary oi State an initiative peti
tion for a constitutional amendment,
giviug to incorporated towns exolo-
slts authority to license, regnlste or
suppress saloons, poolrconis, theaters,
racetracks and. similar places, thereby
abrogating ths present local opttion
law. This question will of course be
voted npon at 'the state election next
June, and tbe friends of good govern,
nient must turn out and promptly de
feat this proposed amendment. ' At'
tempts to enact such lrglslation were
promptly crusned at the 1900 session of
ths Oregon Legislature.
Mayor Roddy says: "We don't like
to have ooaoty offloers meddle in mat
ters that relate to city affairs."
Now, we all know that tbe best in
terests of the town and country are so
identical and closely related to each
other that no dispute should arise
over matters of . local government.
The trouble is that we bave not yet
eliminated from official circles all
the Mayor Reddys in Oregon, and the
few remaining ones mast be weeded
out as qoiokly as possible.
You may rest assnred that the oity
er town that bas respect and revsrenoe
I for law and that stands for civic
righteousness and publio deoenoy has
no desire to secede from nor to nullify
the state criminal laws. The town
that is governed by men who stand
for law, and order, who have regard
for their oaths of offloe, aud who have
a sense of their moral duty to society,
has no fear of a "meddling" sheriff
but is glad and willing to work in
conjunction with biin for the better
moot of social, moral and financial
conditions
Tbe uiuulciplity that doesn't waut
to be "meddled" with by tbe state
criminal laws Is usually governed by
men who stand for a wide open, Crip
ple Creek, rlproaring, town .where
gambling and thievery thrive and
where ererbyody, including father,
works on Sunday. Tbe mayor and
oouuollmun and marshal and recorder
of such oitiea are nearly always to
be found spending their leisure mo
moots In the saloons, at the gauibliug
tables or some similar plaoe of aniune
meot. They are usually men who
regard home as simply a quick lonoh
counter aud a plaoe to sleep
Home,
in its highest aud noblest and grandest
sense the very foundation of the
government itself Is an unknown in
stitution to thetu.
The wife of such a man stsyt at
home year iu and year out, slaving
aloug with the children and house
drudgery, never knowing what it la to
enjoy the awset companionship aud
tender, protecting love of a husband
aud father. Wife and children see
him only at meal times, for after
business hours and all days Sundays
ha sits at the card tables In the saloons
or at the Pastime or at the club. He
Is blind to his doty to his family aud
to the moral welfare of his city. He !

III most of tbe towns of
Oregon
the saloon element is strong tnougb
to elect a "favorable" mayor and
city council, by importing a bunch
of floating tinhorns if neoetsary.
The city council collects the license
money from the saloons, gambling
dens and booses of prostitution, and
of course sxiienas the money iu the
city. When these Incubators of crime
hatch aud bring forth their finished
products in the shape of murder trials
aud kindred cases, it is then only that
such cities do not object to the sheriff
snd the district attorney and the
farmers and the stockmen batting in
and "meddling" with ciiy affairs, for'
there are perhaps thou sands of dollars
of cironit bills to be paid. Ninety
five per oent .of all orlmes are lucu-!
bated if not perpetrated in the saloons j
of the cities and towns. j
Mayor Reddy, has the country tax-1
payers no interest in the way bis
home town is run? Has he nothing
to say when bis boys and girls come
to town to attend achool and fall prey ;
to the vicious town environments?!
Has the fsnner nothing tn say wl en
his harvest hands corns to town
Sndnys, get drnnk and don't return
for several days, while his crops and
hard work are sacrificed for wsnt of
help? i
In such cases as these law enforo-1
ing sheriff or district attorney proves
a Qod-aend to the farmer and stock
men aud the law-abiding element of :
towns and oitiea, after the easygoing j
city authorities refuse to do their
plain dntv. These county officers
represent higher power, and are
usually under no obligations to tbe
vicious "element for their election.
I hey cao bring order and decency oat
of this chaotlo state and be npheld in
it by the people of the oounty. There
are, of oonrae, some sheriffs and dis
trict attorneys in Oregon who have no
desiie to "meddle" in city affairs, or
in anything els that might lose them
a few votes. Such offloers belong to
the gang above described, and their
chief purmlt ia playing politics aud
smiling npon and winking at anything
sud everything, even the devil him
self, if he could in some mauner help
ktep tbeui in oftloe. It is really re
freshing to see . a mayor or any other
public official rise above his surround
ings and take a firm, manly stand for
law and order. Il is astonishing bow
quickly be can change the moral com
plexion ofjthe city without in the least
damagiug its fluauoial interests, for
after all .there is latent majority in
every community that stands ready
and willing to oome to the support of '
a publio official who has the moral
stamina and conrage to take a stnod
for right.
Such tueu as Msyor Reddy and the
others we have describsd belonged to
a pant age, aud have no plane iu of
ficial life iu this great, growing,
regenerated West. Eliminate the
uiofs ba.'k official aud proftsaivual
politician and .install patriotlo men
who hold saori'd their oaths of office.""
What we need iu cougress, in the
goveruor's of ace, in all state, ouonty
and municipal ofScial circles are men
who are not afraid to do their plain
jduty. whatever this calls for, even
1 though an apparent majority are

Coast requirements.
The character of the roads and the climatic conditions
on the Pacific Coast are so radically different from those
prevailing elsewhere that no car other than one built
here with the sole idea of meeting these local peculi
arities could have made the wonderful record of vic
tories in track races, hill climbs, endurance runs and
economy tests won by THE TOURIST in the psst
year.
These victories, while demonstrating the superior worth
of THE TOURIST uader severe strain, prove also its
unique value to the automobilist who demands a car that
will "get there" with dispatch, comfort, and economy.
