SEMI-WEEKLY BANDOfo kECOfcbER, FRlbAY, FEBRUARY 12,1915 page two SEMI-WEEKLY Bandon Recorder Published ovory Tuesday and Friday by The Recorder Publishing Co., Inc. Entered at the Post Office at Ban don, Oregon, as mail matter of the second class. Make all chocks payable and address all communications to the company. Subscription price, $1.50 per year, in advance. The Recorder, in times past, lias been edited by Rcpiil li-Mrs, SoWal ists, Prohibitionist!!, ant'-pronib'tiun ists, independents and nop-pai-tisan? but the greater share ofthe timo bj non-partisans, whose principal objee' was to travel on or at least follow nn the same direction as the Band Wagon. Like many other papers in smal'' country towns, it has at times assum el that it is better to have everybody for a friend, careful not to antago nizc any, than take a positive Btam for right, if right Uo unpopular, be lioving that any other policy in smal towns where business is necessaril; limited, would curtail the editor') bread nnd butter supply. Well, that may be true but we don' believe it. There has been a (lirec change in policy and the ncv management believes that the fore going assumption is nbsurd. On; first intention is to explode the thcorj and banish such a policy from our of ficc. Sink or swim, live or die, tin Recorder hereby deserts the bam wagon nnd now announces its inten tion of becoming interested in publb matters, pass its judgement thereoi to the best of its ability, and declare its honest convictions to the readinj public. If wrong it will be an hones mistake which we will correct, m soon as convinced. But we can hardl; bo wrong always. . We solicit the co-operation of oir reader.? to help us determine the righ' and, having taken a stand accordingl; to help us back it up. Our entin strength from this on, is pledged tc such a policy. WHAT 1)0 YOU THINK OF IT? The city council now proposes to submit to the voters of the city at tlx regular election in June, the ques tion of an $85,000 bond issue, devis ed to provide for improving the watc system, buying a $9,nO0 fire engine taking up outstanding warrants, t regular omnibus bill, a catch every thing, catch-all, Lord-knows-what-not sort of an affair. If the city council expects thif measure to pass in thc hopo of bol storing up the city credit, they wil be disappointed andloso four and i half months of valuable lime. The measure will contain both gooc and Iwul features and should be segre gated and submitted in several items that the voters may choose. The Recorder is not familiar will the conditions of the ' water system and at this time withholds an opinion As to the fire engine, its purchase must depend on whether or not tin present water system will furnish ad equate supplies of water to make it i utility in case of fire. The bonds intended to take up the general warrants, we believe ought not to pass. We favor the curtail ment of curient expenses, as one of 'the means whereby to aire for out standing warrants. Wo think tin public generally, oppones this meas ure, as we do also. There is yet time for the council to segregate these items and submit them Kupnrntoly, which we think should bo done.

One paragraph of the. dairy relates: "The president tonight, December 23rd, 18G3 had a dream. He was in a party of plain people nnd as it be came known who he was they begar. to comment upon his appearance. One of them said, 'He is a very com mon looking man.' The president re plied, 'The Lord prefers common look ing people. That is why he made so many of them.' " Stump orators have amended th and made it to read that "the Lord loves the common people because- 1 made so many of them." This is n what Lincoln said. What he really uttered is given by Mr. Hay and h more in accord with Lincoln's person ality and thought than the other. Lincoln borrowed the expression "You can fool all of the people some of the time and all of the people some of the time but you can't fool all of the people all of the time." from Ba mm who originated it out of his large experience in the circus business Many of the stories told by Lincol were actual experiences or of actu ml sccurrencc. One of the most famous originated as follows : In an early day the setlers of northern Iowa (lis joered that the water surface of Lak )kebojo was several fjet lower tha that of Spirit lake though only a fe hundred feet away. So a canal was dug from the one to the other and a mill erected. The fall vas little and the volume of watoi miall so that the mill ground very slowly. Since it was the only mill in that iccjion the patrons were so numorou that they sometimes had to wait th better part of a day for their turn to have their grist ground. One family had a half-witted boy who was ceneraly sent to the mill. One day he became very impatient iver his long wait and told the miller he could eat the meal as fa St as the mill ground it. "I know," replied the miller, "but how long could you keep it up?" " 'Till I starved." replied the lad. As Shakespeare took blood and thunder stories and worked them over nto classical tragedies, so Lincoln 'ook the rough stories of the back .voods gave them the touch of his !iumor and language and bequeathed !t, a rich heritage to our literature. F.NG IN KM A N'S WAR US A great change has come over rail road magnates and managers since Vandcrbuilt gave expression to the famous policy so long maintained by the railroads of the country, "The lublic be dnmned." 'The committee of railroad manag ers now in conference with the Engi- ieers' and Firemen's unions in Chiea ?o, before the federal arbitration loard, over a movement for an in- Tense in the enginmen's wages, take ;reat pains and haste to keep the mblie informed of all the proceedings Probably the reason for their eag erness to confide in the dear public irises as much from the fact that they are right in the present contro versy as it does from the disciplining they have receivett late years from -ho common people. It looks to outsiders as if enginomen n tiie railroad service receive rather more than a just wage in comparison .vitli labor in other lines. Strong, ag gressive, ably managed unions have ilready forced these wages up to a high point. Any further increase at Ihe present lime is not warranted, neither in justice nor policy. The railroads are not in a financial rendition to grant this increase in wages. The services performed do not war rant it. riie intorosts of the general public will be better served if the money the tailroad can earn is put into improve ments and equipment, instead of in t ill higher wages to an already well paid cluHM. Whon thero are so many unemploy ed, tlx aim hIioiiIiI bo to upaud money in luiulwl and legitimate wnya Hint will give labor to worker who are now Idle.

His increase in pay would equal 008 per cent. The fireman on this run actually earned $119.04 and it wa3 on an oil-burning engine on which no coal was shoveled at all. The fireman would have been paid $937.79 for this month's work under these rules. His increase would have been C88 per cent. An appeal to the public from such demands will not be in vain.
