MAYOR BAKER OF PORTLAND
the COUNTRY NEWSPAPER
Mayor Baker, of Portland, Oregon,
has consented to run for a second
term. The announcement came af
ter a petition was presented to Mr.
Baker by a large number of promi-
nent citizens of Portland, who ap-
predate the work Mayor Baker has
done for the city.
There is no question about It,
Mr. Baker has made a wonderful
mayor for Portland, and we are glad
he has consented to be elected again
for we are sure of his election. Good
men for public offices are scarce, and
when we get hold of one, we ought
to keep him on the job if possible.
We are a little bit interested in
the development of Portland, for as
the big city progresses. It measures
back into the country towns a de
mand for more of the country’s pro
ducts, and naturally we want Port
land to want more of the things we
raise. Therefore, we are glad Mayor
Baker will be a candidate again, for
his progressive management of the
city’s affairs have the tendency to
help the smaller towns that dump
produce into the big city.
In commenting on the attack of a
metropolitan daily which attempted
to belittle the political influence of
the country weekly and daily over
the land, Harry Hammond, editor of
the Byron, California, Times, one of
the Ilveet and most progressive pa
pers in the country, says:
“While the country paper Is small,
it is doing just as much, in its way,
for the progrese and development of
the section it serves as any of the
larger papers, and in some cases a
great deal more, because, as a rule,
the bigger the paper the more its
opinions are dominated from the
counting room, something never
thought of by the country weekly,
which boosts its locality all the time
without thought of receiving pay for
such service.
The people of a country commun-
ity swear by and not at their local
paper. It carries far greater weight,
politically and otherwise, with them
than does the paper of metropolitan
pretentions. The country weekly is
closer to the hearts of its readers
than is the case with the larger news
papers.”
FARMERS AND POLITICS
SAVING THE FLOCKS AND HERDS
We take it for granted that far-
mers are doing a lot of thinking
these days along political lines. But
whether they are or not, they should.
With one of the most radical polit
ical parties that America has ever
known endeavoring to gain control
of the government it behooves every
farmer and every citizen to think be
fore jumping at a conclusion.
No owner of a farm home tn this
state is or can be in sympathy with
socialism, because socialism does not
recognize that any man has a right
to private property. But It is known
that many farmers have shown sym
pathy for the leaders of socialism,
by affiliating with the non-partisan
league. This is dangerous practice,
and farmers must know it.
No right thinking man has any ob
jection to the farmer organizing to
correct any evils that might exist.
The great majority of the people of
this state would be glad to have a
large farmer's organization whose
purpose would be to better farm life
and conditions. There is no argu-
ment on this score. But because of
the fact that the great majority are
opposed to socialism, they are op-
posed to any flirting with leaders
whose lives have been dedicated to
socialism, which excludes them from
the class of good Americans.

Drouth stricken Douglas county,
Oregon, will send 3000 head of cat
tle to Walla Walla county, Washing
ton, for feeding this winter.
It is claimed this Is cheaper than
to ship the feed to the cattle and
will prevent starvation of the ani
mals if done in time.
The past two years millions of cat
tle, horses and sheep starved on the
ranges from droth and perished from
cold and snow.
Owners of flocks and herds should
be able to secure state and federal
cooperation to prevent such losses,
It should be made a crime to al
low these domestic animals to perish
for lack of shelter, food or water.
The Umatilla project will raise
enough alfalfa hay this year to feed
thousands of head of cattle this win
ter, and to hear of animals perish
ing for want of'feed when we have
an abundance to supply those In need
seems worse than a crime.
