It is tho work of tho stand-patters. It increases the cost of living for the multitude, to increase the profits of the trusts. It is the perfect fruit of tho manipulation of politics by special interests. The Portland Oregouian calls attention editorially to a little graft practiced by the administration in taking care of its supporters at the expense of the people as fol fel fol eows: r "The Standard Oil company, one of the richest corpo rations, has been given a contract for carrying 5000 tons of coal from Norfolk, Va., to Marc Island, Cal. The coal will be carried in the American ship Acme and the rate is $6 per ton, or $30,000 for the voyage. At the same time that Air. Rockefeller's oil company received this contract for carrying coal at $6 per ton, foreign shipowners were offering to cany it in fast tramp steamers at $4.14 per ton. As Mr. Rockefeller did not have a very large supply of tonnage, contracts were actually let to two foreign vessels to carry 11,000 tons to the Pacific coast at $4.14 per ton. Lest the reader get the impression that this bonus of practically $10,000 was given Mr. Rockefeller by a private corporation, we may explain that this peculiar transaction was the work of the government. from twonty-fivo to twonty-nino, there were 3t4 who wore unmarried. In .Denver thoro wore 331. Tn Manhattan and the Bronx there were 356. In Minneapolis there wore 309. Tn Philadelphia thoro wore 387. Southern New England, however, is the most industrial ly dcvolopcd part of tho United States, the part in which social conditions liko thoso of the older countries of the world are most nearly reached. In Fall River, out, of every 1000 women in the twenty-five-to-twenty-nine pe riod, the unmarried woro 391. In Now Haven they wore 393. .In Boston they woro 452. I SOCIALIST I.KCTUHK.

California Having served as a member of the Medford fire department for 21 years Chief Amann has received the en tJorsemcnt of his fellow firemen by being elected to his tenth consecutive term as chief of tho volunteer fire department of Medford. "When Mr. Amann joined tho de partment It was "Protection No. 1." They bad a tew hundred feet of hose and about enough pressure, usually, to shove tho water out of the nozzle, but they were not discouraged, and iept pegging away until tho present apparatus, not nearly even now ade quate to tho needs of the city, was Installed.

It is apparent from this coal contract ,iust issued that about $2 per ton advance over the rates of for eign ships is not regarded as excessive. On this basis it would cost us about $200,000,000 more per annum for ocean freights than we are now paying. This is ship sub sidy in practice, but not theory." Yet the Oregouian, which between elections opposes the tariff graft, invariably supports it during election times, when it needs support. It supports Cannon and Aldrich, who fastened the graft on the nation, and assails the insurgents, who opposed it. It swallows the grafts for "the sake of the party," forgetting that no party that betrays its constituency, by abandoning principle, is wor thy of support, and that no paper that abandons its real beliefs for political expediency, is either. The newspaper partisan organ has no originality of beliefs and no opportunity to advocate truth. It is bound and gagged by the coterie of machine politicians and must support them, advocate "their veiled harpy-like desires and reiterate their clap-trap, their sounding brass and tinkling cymbal, lest the truth "injure the party." Like the shyster lawyer, it does the best that it can for its ques tionable client, but it has no conscience and no sincerity. With the growth of political independence, with the awakening of the masses, with the progress of direct leg islation, the party organ has become an anachronism in Oregon neither trusted, respected, nor believed, a veri iorm appendix of journalism.

Mr- "aim For Watches FINE WATCH AND .. JEWELRY REPAIRING Martin J. Reddy THE JEWELER NEAR THE POSTOFFIOE GRIFFIN CREEK BARN DESTROYED BY FIRE Fire, supposed to have been caus ed by spontaneous combustion re sulting from a few loads of rather green hay in bottom of the mow, stored threo weeks ago, destroyed the ifcro belonjjinj; to W. M. Holmes on firiffin creek this morninR at 3 o'clock. One wagon, a few tons of hay, and building worth probubly $000 is extent of loss. Two mules tied in shod had closo call, and were quito budly scorched, and may ho found to havo suffered loss of oyo pight. Vetorinnry thinks thoy will not be seriously damaged, however. Prices have an advertising value mly If thoy nro gonulnoly low and rtadors, nowadays, know. THE number of both unmarried men and women iu the United States is constantly increasing. Each census shows a greater proportion, due largely to indus trial conditions, which in turn have broadened women's sphere. The cost of living annually increases. This alone keeps many a couple from marriage. The fault does not lie al together with the men, with their increasing selfishness and disinclination to sacrifice personal pleasures, and ex travagances to assume family economies and cares, but also with the women, who prefer the freedom of work to the confinement of home and the responsibility of 'moth erhood. The tendency toward late marriages also increases the number of those who remain single. By the time a woman reaches 25, man is no longer a hero in her eyes. His faults bristle like the spines on a porcupine. She sees clearer and truer and hesitancy turns to disinclination, along with disillusion. The girl of today, unlike her grandmother, has many spheres of usefulness, besides that of matrimony, open to her. The name of old maid is no longer a reproach. Social conditions have compelled her to extend her field of occupation and this tendency increases with the years. Figures on the census showing of the unmarried are given in Everybody's Magazine for August. Tl'iey show that when the census man was at work in 1900 he counted 2,200,000 American women who were more than twenty five years old and who were still unmarried. The census man groups us into age periods. The period from twenty-five to twenty-nine is the most important matrimonially, because it is the one in which most of us get pretty well fixed into our life work. Out of every 1000 women in that period, in the year 1890, the census man found 254 who were still unmarried. In 1900, only ten years later, he found 275. But the United States con sists of developed and undeveloped regions. The cities arotho high points of development.
