THE POPULAR GAME.
EVERY one i.s jirnf'Uocn

ci ins on every niieu. l wmiki niiv niyseir some cioiii
i'l; sSuiiiethiiif; shelf worn would suffice but: niy soul
is filled with loathing when 1 contemplate the price.
J would buy a slab of bacon, but the man who sells the
s-une by his conscience is forsaken, and his prices are
a shame. I would like to paint my shanty, whose ap
pearance is a frost, but the burning words of Dante
can't do justice to the cost. Now and then I go
a-questin for the reason for this craze; and the blame
j", always resting on some distant nameless jays. Oh,
tile blame is never local, it is always most remote; and
each man profanely vocal, says some others get his goat.
Vain is all our loud resistance to the graft that makes
ns sick; always in the hazy distance are the knaves who
do the trick. .Always in elusive shadow is the profit
eering group, which has found its VA Dorado, white
consumers find their soup, far away the robbers
shameless who harpoon ns through and through; and
your merchant prince is blameless lie; gets stung as
well as von.
THE STATE TREASURY SCANDAL
TflKKI'l is considerable excitement in the state over the
scandal in the slate treasurer's office. It seems that
one broker firm has had a monopoly of the state's business
and .has profited somewhat scandalously thereby. An au
dit, and a grand jury investigation have been launched, to
smoke out the guilty party. '
We venture the prediction the guilty party will not be
found. Kor, unless wo are much mistaken, there is no
guilty party. The guilt; will be found', we opine, with no
person, but with the grand and glorious electorate of Ore
gon. No fine who knows slates treasurer .Huff, questions for
a moment, his integrity or his business incapacity. True,
there may have been malfeasance; among his subordinates,
lint, even so, there- is nothing fantastic in saying that Mr.
Iloff, under such circumstance's, would not be as guilty as
the people;-who put him there. , "
l-'eir M r. I Ioff k no more fitted by t raining or te-mpera-nieut

concerned', Mr. Tlo'ff could liave counted his' votes'on his
two hands.
To make this point cleat imagine for a moment that a
I ()(),()()( ),()()() corporation, which the state of Oregon is,
wanted a t reasure.r u.nd I hat M r. I Ioff should apply. I f yon
know .Mr. .liDfyott-fiACvlii't be told the result. He would
be lucky if lie escaped the attentions of the corporation's
alienist. - As a lViaMVr'of actual fact, there probably isn't a
man in public life; jit this state who is less fitted for the
poif ion of state treasurer t hail t he man who occupies it.
-
So while the jury investigation autl the audit, and all
the; scandal that is certain to follow, are unavoidable', and
for that matter, desirable; the value eif the entire; proceed
ing to the people of Oregon will be lost, unless it awakens
a Jew citizens to the folly and the political iniquity t vot
ing for public officials without thinking.
The e-lection of Mr. Iloff as state treasurer was the
plain result; of popular indifference to public business. It
was also the result of one of America's most dangerous
habits, the habit of putting the public business into the
hands of politicians instead of business men. .
Honesty is the supreme qualification. Kill Oregon is
full of honest men ami well-meaning ones. What I he people
of Oregon should have- and should insist upon, are men
who are licit her crooks nor incompetents. This will never
come about until the pe-ople are sufficiently aroused over
incidents like the present one In take half as much interest
in their public as their private business.
