State “Dignitaries.
The highlights of Tuesday's state
news in the state capital at Salem
was the open "wordy brawl” staged
between Governor Julius L. Meier
and State Treasurer Rufus C. Hol
man. Charges made by Holman
brought quick retorts from the Gov
ernor, and the battle was on. It
continued until the Governor person
ally declared the “reign of terror”
adjourned.
It is generally believed, and con
firmed by Webster, that one who
holds exalted rank or office may be
called a “dignitary.” After the con
duct of members of the state board
of control in its last meeting, it is
doubtful whether such a term may
be applied to Oregon's state offi
cials. One thing is certain; that the
exchange of personalities did not re
sult in the working out of a con
structive program which would as
sist the Oregon state legislature in
solving some of the grave problems
confronting It.
Perhaps the task of running a
state government is “child's play”
In which the participants consider
their individual whims and dis
agreements more Important than the
problems confronting the govern-
ment, of which they are representa-
tivea.
Even if the Governor and the
State Treasurer were elected to their
office by a large majority of the
voters in Oregon, there is no law
prohibiting those same voters from
becoming disgusted with those same
officers when they display such
childish banter, and ballyhoo, as
was batted back and forth across
the mahogany desk in the state ex-
ecutive’s office Tuesday.
Unless
here is a spirit of cooperation re-
stored within the board of control,
the state’s business will continue to
take a step backwards.
The apology offered by Holman
for his conduct does not alter the
opinion of many that our state
lacks "dignitaries.”
Times Change.
We have been scanning the count
ry press for 30 years. Ah, well we
recall the days of “boiler plate". We
had a couple of columns of It which
we used to run for weeks at a time,
and some of the more critical of our
subscribers would write in and want
to know why we never finished that
story. That is all we had of It. But
we had a lot of nonpariel type that
we set land notices with, and then
we had a lot of patent medicine
cuts, like Hall's catarrh cure, which
same copy ran for 4 8 years, and
Doan's kidney pills, Lydia Pink
ham's Compound and Ayer's Cherry

Pectoral and there was always a cut
of the Scientific American to fill in
with.
Merchants never changed
their ads. They used to head their
ads with "Live end Let Live.” The
more progressive merchants changed
their ads four times a year; with
the seasons. And the up-to-date
country newspaper kept moving to
the districts where people were tak
ing up timber claims and the printer
set up the notices with nonparie
type.* When they ran out of sub
scribers they would put on a cam
paign for two-bits or four-bits i
year. But the country newspaper
in Oregon, lias taken on form, dig
nity and decorum and is now one ol
the outstanding institutions of in
fluence in our business, political
and social life, Typographically it
compares most favorably with the
high-toned city daily. Its news is
a compendium of life and events.
given far more accurately and
minutely, within its territory than
is physically possible in a great met-
ropolitan newspaper, We have no-
ticed these changes. We have no-
ticed the great change in local ad-
vertising copy.
Local advertising
was solicited and given to help the
printer along, and the name, busi-
ness address was all there was to
the ad and it ran until the type was
wore out. or the merchant sold out
or died of old age. Ads now in the
country press are news. Each week
they contain the late.it in prices
and the public by the use of the
country press have become price-
minded. They watch the ads. Ano
ther great change that we have no
ticed in the country press, and with
in the last couple of years is the
editorial expression of the paper
It is an innovation and the country
editor is speaking right out and do
ing a gilt-edge job, and the editorial
influence of the country press has
grown with leaps and with bounds.
Thare is a personality to a country
newsp: per that no longer dominates
the city daily, and this gives it a
currency proportionate with the
known character of the author. It
may sound like a strange and fan
tasic statement to say that the uni
ty of our nation is held intact large
ly through the influence of the
country press. We once had a sub
scriber tell us that he did not give
a ' damn" what the paper said abou
him for he could walk out of it
circulation in 30 minutes. But those
days are gone, and from scanning
the country press of today and rc
calling the country newspaper of 31
years ago, we Icok upon this trade
this craft, and this art with feeling
akin to the same pride that we sur
'ey the evolution of the race fron
nonkey to man. And, we don't
ant to go back to the good old
ays of Lydia Pinkham, Doan’s pills
ind sticking up land notices with
nonpariel type, a column or two of
boiler plate and nothing but delin
quents for readers.—Blue Mountain
Eagle.
