By the efforts of the clnb members, the mayor and town coun cil have been interested in the move ment, and two duys have been set aside in which to give tho town a thorough cleaning up. Thus Wes ton sets the pace for a cleaner and better town, a pace that Athena will unite with in step yet. The beautiful is needed in every community. We all have something to build, to strengthen and maintain. We need the beautiful. Dress and live like savages and we would soon become savages, in fact. The city or village totally void of beau ty would be the abode of the sensual, immoral and lawless. A community of taste and beauty must necessarily bo composed of refined and cultured people, and true culture leads to high er morality. There aio about our villuge many things -which commend it. There are thiugs that are capable of improvement. Publio sentiment will do much toward beautifying our dwelliugs, our stroots and our alloys. Noatnosa, taste Bud Deauty will help us all. Our moral life would be high er and our social life purer. President Roosevelt in a message ac companying Commissioner of Corpor ations Garfield's report on the investi gation of the Standard Oil company, makes the following recommenda tions: Insaniuoh as the Standard Oil com puny is aidod in maintaiuiug its mo nopoly of the oil business through the refusal of the New England aud Wes cru aud Southwestern railroads to pro rato, aud as this advantage is woith hundreds of thousauds of dollars anual ly, the president suggosts various methods of relief, among them : First Th at oil be placed on the free list, as was done with alcohol in the urts.

Jacob never sold Esau a more better mess of pottage than, that now offered Candi date Witbycombe. One of the things that Russell Sage says be would do, if he had his life to live over again, would be to make closer study of charity. How prone we all are to think that our happiness might have lain along the paths of life which we have never pursued. The joke aboutthe"father-in-law of Europe" has gone to its long rest, but the old, mother-in-law joke will continue to circulate in Europe, America, Asia, Afriea aud the islands of the sea. A Freucb battleship collided with a submarine the other day and had to put in for repairs. It is an able navy that can keep its own ships afloat. Of course, if Tom Lawson had not been gadding around the country on other busiuess tho copper trust would have never dared to form. A Pittsburg flrni wants permission to pipe oil aoross the Isthmus of Pana ma. Theoouutry is more interested in getting water aoross. A Geruan professor says there is con siderable alcohol in sawdust. Now watob. the tramps crowd around the sawmills. Mr. Cleveland has decided to keep bis 12,000 iusuranoe job. A great deal of bait can be purchased for 112,000. What we need is a rovival ot that moral code that called a liar a liar, whether he was big or little. - Be kind to the rioh. Think of the troubles thoy have with such people as Colonel Mann. IS KOOSKVKLT A DEMOCBAT? Portland Journal. Are the republicans of Oregon with the president or with his opponents in congress? And with thepresedent rath er than with them, is there any good reason -why they should not support a Democrat for senator, governor, rep resentative, or any other office, it they think the Demooratio nominee, party aside, is the better man for tho posi tion for which be has beon named? Is tho president a Democrat or a Re publican? Isu't it a fact that he is much nearor, in thought, speech and action, to Bryan and Folk than to Ald rioh and Foraker? Is he the leader as a Republcan president ex-offlcio should be. of his party? Or is he not rather a disturber of his party, at war with its controlling spirits? On the paramount question now be fore congress, the regulation of rail roads, Mr. Goarin, for instance, aud the Democrats iu congress geuerully, are with tho president. Why, tbeu, should uot Roosevelt Republicans vote for Mr. Uearin or any Democrat like bini? Week attor week the debate on tbo Ilepburu-Dolhver bill drags along, and while it has iu apperauce narrow ed down to a questiou of limited or unlimited power of review by the court of the flndiugs of the iuterstate com morco commission, everybody knows that the main ultimate purpose of the real Republican loaders of the senate Ald.-ioh, Foraker, Lodge, Eikius, et al.,is to kill tbo bill or make its oper atiou a farce. When you support the Republican party are you supporting Roosevelt or Aldiioh?Aud if Roosevelt what difference whether you support ajDemocrat, providing both are equal- ' Make Your appointments Here ly supporters of the president on the main issues of contention before the people? It makes no matter of difference whether the Virginia resolutions of 1798 was sound doctrine or not, nor that Hayne made a fallacious argu meut tbat was torn into tatters by Wei ster, nor, if it be true, that the free silver propaganda was based on economic error, nor even that Parker was nominated and supported chiefly by men who belong to the "conserva tive" Republican camp. All these things are behind, and must bo put away; as the apostle says, we must look to the things that are before. And so looking, we see a nominal Republican president who is aparently about two thirds a Democrat, and be ing supported in his main contention and efforts by Democrats. This being so, Oregon Republicans should feel a large degree of liberty in the matter of voting, and need make no apologies to any one for voting for a Roosevelt Democrat for any office. NOT FOR JONATHAN. Pilot Rock Record. Can a newspaper change its mind in a week? The answer to this question is found in the position taken by the Rec ord on the primary law. One week ago when it was thought Mr. Cake had received a plurality of the votes oast for senator the Record was inclined to fall in line with the new law and to urge upon the next legislature the im portance of considering carefully the qualifications of tbat man receiving the indorsement of his party at the June eleotion. Now the Record can do nothing of the kind. Bourue is the only oue of the five candidates for senator whose selection would have forced the Record to take this position. While Lowell from a strictly party standpoint was not entitled to the votes of Republicans, had he been de clared the nominee for the Republican party, on the face of it it might have looked as if tho people knew what they wanted, but not so in the case of Bourne. The people do not want him aud the people may stand assured they will not be allowed to give thmeselves the worst of it by haviug their recom mendation to the legislature acted up on. For Sale.

The "Words of Praise" for the several ingredients of which Dr. Pierce's medi cines are composed, by leaders in all the several schools of medical practice, and recommending them for the cure of the diseases for which the "Golden Medical Discovery " is advised, should have far more weight with the sick and afflicted than any amount of the so-called "testi monials " so conspicuously flaunted before the public by those who are afraid to let the Ingredients of which their medicines are composed be known.
