Their pro duce and stock are mostly bought here. One. would think they woub appreciate the justice of the demam for reciprocity and do all their trad in; at home. Instead many of them send their orders to Shears and Saw buck or some other distant mail Ol der house, bellied by prices quote-! in an enormous catalogue sent to ev ery farmer in the United States. lr niuc cases out of ten it is doubtful if they secure their goods any lower than the prices given at home, partic ularly alter they have deducted the expense of petting the things. The ten million dollar meltons cut by a Chicago Juue list year does nni make it look as it the mail order hous es were doing business for their health. One tanner in Albany a fe' days ago admitted that during th-. last year he sent three hundred dollars to the most noted Chicago hoe. art he i only one of hundreds doin aVout the same thing. This simpl. ;::' c business from the local e.:lerr ! e men who ; ay :rc taxes. t!e me-v:-o bi'ibl the roads, the men jvhc kv-e; the wheels going, without wliot' ihii..s would go lo the bottwoAr cross-lots, and the mail order patror would have a sorry time of it getting rid of hi produce. I And what does Shears & SawhucV do for this country in the way of ad vancing the in teres s of our people With them it is all get and no give Na. a finger do they lift for the ad vancement of Oregon. The game i as one-sided as a slab. There ought to be a law levying : high tax on these big mail order houses in. proportion to the amount of business they do in a state. Such a thing might be difficult to enforce: but it would be justice. Of cor.rse the local dealer ought t'1 advertise his wares so insistently a to make a mail order house patror t. k? noiice and understand that he car d-' as well, if not better at home; htr vhclher he does or not the practice of f ending to Chicago for goods is an injustice to the men who are the back bone of the commercial interests of orr county. SECOND TERM FOR WILSON. Alreu.Iy ictdultons are ' Iwri'nx passed in favor of President Wilso:: accepting the nomination for a second term. The Democrat was one of tin lir:t papers on '.he coast to endorse the candidacy of President Wilson when he was first mentioned for the highest office in the gift of our peo ple, and it will be just as earnest ir urging his candidacy a second time All circumstances call for his making tho run a second time. He has made good in an eminent manner as a chief executive, one of the best the country has had. The United States i for tunate in having him at the head ir this critical time, when a mistake mi;ht thrust the country into a vortex of war. His judgment and consci entious loyalty to the principles of peace have so far kept the country safe. Nothing can now be seen that shall justify a change. It is a great thing for a nation to have at the head a man of President Wilson's royal character. PROPER VETOES. One of the jokes of the legislature was the nttempt to make a new judi cial district out of Benton and Lin coln counties, giving some lawyer a job. Another hill provided for a judge over in Eastern Oregon covering two counties about like .Benton and Lin coln. The governor is entitled to credit for vetoing the bills. Demo cratic papers generally will commend the chief executive for doing this. Tlu f legislature should hae been far-sight- j ed enough to know that the people would not endorse anything of thi i character. 1 MISFITS A Eugene woman has jui marriclf .i man named tiutu. a husband wort! j having.

I There have been enough lickings since the war began to have ended the contest a dozen times. The last item suggests that it is barely possible there are some whole sale prevaricators in Europe. As bad as war is there are some people even in Oregon who would like to see Constantinople knocked into :hc j liospliorus. j We are all ready for the collosal wave of prosperity a good many dis cerning men have predicted. It has all been figured out down to such a fine point one can almost see twenty $ pieces rolling along the streets. Since that earthquake Italy hasn't been saying much about war. I An exchange wants to know whr has happened to the Teddy bears. Well, one of them at the home of ihe Misfit man is on deck every day. somewhat banged up. with the same old grin, ready for every kid visitor who comes along. Busy Corner Grocery J. K.

At a cannery lucctiuu held at Alva dure day before yesterday, J. tl, Moll in. matter of Ihe Lunelle I'liiit Cmiwers' asuociatiou, advised the people nf that fertile section to to slowly ami care fully wit It their cannery, lakiutr each forward step only after inMiire dclili eralion, ami watctiiug the market closely. U they do this, he told them, they will have no trouble in making a success of the instiliilioii. It is good advice, for it is a brief summary of the method that has made I lie I'tigeue cannery one of the most successful iii the northwest. It, hai not been followed everywhere, how ever, and in. my of the canneries of the Willamette valley are not on a firm financial footing. They have failed lo watch their costs They have not giv en the close study to Ihe marketing situation that it needed. As a result their communities have not derived as much benefit from them as they should. Tiie Kugene cannery has gone slow ly and carefully. It has held its man factnriii'tf cost dow n to the lowest pos sible level. And above all it has given close and unremitting study to the market so that it would he able al ways to sell Ihe products of its mem hers. There are no greater agents for dc vclopnicnt in the Willamette valley Iran well managed canneries. They provide a market for crops that would otherwise be unsalable, and in nearly every instance these crops are inten sive ones. Thus the way is opened for more people on the farms. Bit' merely building a cannery and putting it in operations is not enough. Sound judgment must be used in developing the business. TMF. SPIRFLI.'-: CORSET - See Mrs. W. H.
