SOCIAL WELFARE IN A SMALL
TOWN.
In the August American Magazine,
George Fitch, the Peoria, Illinois, lilt
inurist, writes a comical piece entitled
"1 lomchurg's Two Folir-I llindredths.''
It is a sketch of the Smart Set of a
small town, and reports the warfare
between the Payleys and the Singers,
the two families in the town which
"put on the most airs." Following is
. an extract:
"Mrs. Payley having been on the
ground a long (ime, had fortified it,
of course, and was president of all
the clubs. Mitt inside of a month Mrs.
Singer flanked her position. She de
clined to join most of the clubs on the
plea of being a busy woman, and or
ganized a flower mission. Us ob
ject was to distribute flowers to the
': and needy, who generally con
sisted of Pat Ryan. Pat was nei'ly
.smothered in flowers that year, being
.i !.
good natured, and as
collecting said flowers
uie wui k o i :
involved
great deal of meeting in the Singer
home and dancing in the Singer atttic,
which was floored with hard maple
that winter, Mrs. Singer hail (he girls
of the town organized into a Roman
phalanx before spring.
"Mrs. Payley was triumphantly re
elected to the presidency of all her
clubs that winter, hut Mrs. Singer or
ganized a public library association
and pulled off a German. Mrs. Pay
ley attended, and when she tried to
patronize Mrs. Singer with her com
pliments, that clever infighter beat
her to it by explaining the theory of
the German to her. That made Mrs.
Payley so mad that the next month
she invited the state president of the
Federation of Women's Clubs to visit
her, and didn't ask Mrs. Singer to III''
tea. The next week Mrs. Singer or
ganized a Country Club. It onlv con-
sisted of a two-room pavilion in which
picnics eoulil he helil and tiauces couiu
be pulled off, with long intermissions
lor the rxtractiou of slivers from the
feet. But it was just as easy to talk
about while you were ill town ami to
refer to ill a hushed and exclusive
manner as if it cost a million, and
when Mrs. I'layley realized that she
never could hope to become exclusive
enough to get into it. though good Uive party really stand tor anything
ness knows she couldn't have been ! more than lut lor office; that Colo
hind to belong to the foolish thin.; ' m l Roosevelt and lii small army oi
she quit speaking to Mrs. Singer, the j platform speakers told the truth dur
split became a cIkimu, and we began ; mg the recent campaign; that the
choosing up sides in earnest."
MURPHY AS A WITNESS.

Hall has appeared as a w itness ul the
com t of public opinion against the
,M'"'U 111 l" v" ,umi 1

UNDERPAID OFFICIALS
Uecau-c he is wholly unable to
meet his iinancial obligations iioin
his aalary as secretary of state, Wil
liam J. liryan recently declared thai
lie proposes to accept a series of en
Kaacinents on the lecture platform
during the time allotted to him for
his vacation.
The announcement caused a stir in
official circles of Washington and
raised a question of more than pass-
;ng jmiortance.
Can the government of the Limed:,.
States, any state or territory thereof,
or any municipality, afford to have
underpaid men in its employ: the
Democrat docs not believe that it
can.
From the standpoint of efficiency
$ 10 ; the same rules apply to the govcrn
JJ mem service that apply to a mere
3.001 private corporation. Underpaid, poor
ly fed, or poorly clothed men will not
, ., ( ii,r s
I ,
inosc who ..-..-
decent homes and are nine 10 en
joy some of the little luxuries of life.
The same rule that applies to manual
labor, applies to intellectual labor.
For an income-producing man to
accept a position in the federal ser-
I vice is always a financial sacrifice.
I Honest men don't exnect to get rich
front a government salary, but they
have a right to expect a decent living
during their tenure of 'office. The
government has no moral right to ex
pect them to draw upon their private
resources for the necessary funds to
maintain themselves and their fami
lies while employed in a public ca
pacity. A rich and powerllll nation
should be able to pay its employees
what they arc worth, but it is morally
bourn) to pay thcin enough to me
ordinary living expenses. To pay a
man less than it costs hiin to live, is
to place a premium on dishonesty and
invite him to convert a public trust
into a public graft.
To ask a poor man to accept a po
sition as a member of the Oregon
state legislature at the present salary
is an insult. The same is true in many
other states. Yet we complain about
the intellectual .standard of our state
lawmakers. We demand the services
of a ten thousand dollar a year man
and would pay him the munificent
irn of three dollars per diem.
Until the salaries of many of our
rlimhlic officials are placed upon a liv-
,
basis, it will always be difficult tn
secure tlie services of able, honest and
thoroughly competent men. True it
is that there is a certain amount of
honor in serving the people in an of
ficial capacity, hut the Rrocer or the
butcher will not accept a check on a
man's honor when he presents his
hilt.
A little more common sense and a
little less short sighted and uuhusi-
ncss like economy, will do much to
solve this perplexing problem.

The highest price paid this season
was 20 cents, this for the best Marino

The price this season averaged almost
four cents less per pound than that

Mohair was bought from 75 different

The Oregon state institutions, from
the standpoint of efficient manage
ment and manner of being kept, will
stand in the front rank with those of
any other state in the union, is the
declaration of H. C. -Bowman, of To
peka, a member of the board of con
trol of Kansas, and a brother-in-law
of C. G. Rawlings of this city. Mr.
Bowman visited here Sunday at the
home of Mr. Rawlings, leaving for
Salem Monday morning, accompanied
; by Mr. Kawhngs.
I Mr. Bowman was particlarly struck
with the state insane asylum farm.
He said he was out visiting the insti
I tutions of various states to get ideas
for conducting a 900-acre farm be
longing to the institutions in his state.
and that nowhere had he found a
farm to compare -with the one here.
"At first we went East to get ideas,
as that has been the custom in the
nnst." said Mr. Bowman, "but. T now
find the best kept state institutions
ar in the west."
In Kansas there are three boards of
i ontrol. besides the regular state of-
! 1 sti,rc enucarionai
; 1nst'tlition. including the schools for
,,":,f "" blind. Another board of
"lr" ""inner... wnne "irmes.nre on
Iv S1200 a vear each, has charge of
ti.e nenal nnd reformatory institutions.
The member: of this honr,l are not
ex-cted to give all their time to the
wnrV.
The third board of control of which
M. Ttowmnn is n member, has three
"iemher rt salaries o" $200 a vear.
Ti'Is hnnrd conducts the business of
