And why wouldn’t it be a good motto for the citizens of Tillamook City to adopt, and all get together and pull together for the interest of the city ? * * ft It is reported that the unterrified democrats of Oregon are agitating the question of attaching a prohibi tion plank to their kite at the next State election. We are wondering whether it wouldn’t drive another nail into the coffin of that party. « ft * ft « ft The gift of four and a half acres of land in this city by Thomas Gil- for I Stillwel’, to be used as a pli y- ground for the use of the pupils at tending the district school is a mat ter calling for a word of praise to the generous donor. It was a splen did Christmas present to the city and something out of the com mon for anyone to do in Tillamook. Thar the gift will be appreciated as long as this remains a city or school district is self evident, and when it is improved and made park-like it will be a great improvement to the city and that the pupils themselves will take great interest in keeping it in good shape. ft » ft Every fair minded person must now admit that the hurried arrest of the editor is simply a case of perse cution. As a matter of business the editor printed a circular for other parties which set forth nothing but the truth. He had nothing what ever to do with the law and order meeting which prompted the issu ing of the circular, nor did he write or circulate the same. Yet he is ar rested while those who were at the back of the law and order movement are not molested. This is another instance of so-called “justice” in Tillamook. Another thing, the fact that tlie^parties were in such a hur ry to ha ve the editor arrested during the temporary absence of Mr. Cooper and touserpthe office of the deputy district attorney and to add addi tional coat to the taxpayers, is proof enough that the whole thing was concocted to persecute the editor at the taxpayers expense. Attorney Talmage is the man who appears to have been the moving spirit in the affair, but does anyone know of Mr. Talmage busying himself in the prosecution of hie law partner who helped run out of the city a State’s witness, in the disgraceful affair in the post office, in the savage fight on the street with the city marshal, or in the inHult to the judge in the circuit court ? Oh, no. The editor takes no pleasure in refering to these unpleasant incidents for they were a thing of the past, but as he is assailed and made the scape goat for others, no one will blame us for having a little righteous indigna tion and striking back at those who singled out and commenced the fight on the editor. That’s fair play, isn’t it ? If the “muzzle” law is constitu tional then the biggest scoundrel and grafter could run for office and the Press would be “muzzled” as far as informing the public. That is just the kind oflawthat suits that class of men. Great is Oregon- -for fool laws. ft ft ft The Eugene city council passed an ordinance declaring a common nuisance any place where near-beer or any other beverage containing insufficient alcohol to cause intoxi cation is sold or kept for sale. It is plainly seen that towns with any civicpride and business enterprise have had enough of near-beer joints, for they have been, as in this city, made blind pig joints. « « This is to give notice to Attorney Talmage and others who were in strumental in having the editor ar rested for doing a job of printing, we will give them plenty of oppor tunities to arrest him at the next election. Whenever anyone under takes to muzzle the Press, stop free speech and free criticism in a free country they soon find that they are tackling a job that will bring ridi cule upon them. ft ft ft Judge Burnett told the attorneys at the last term of the circuit court thut litigution should be avoided as much as possible. That was good advice, seeing that so many frivel- ous, nonsensical suits take up the time of the circuit court and of the jurymen. Oh, no, Judge, that won’t go in Tillamook, when they want to persecute a person at the tar payers’ expense. « ft ft si • ft The enhanced valueof farm lands There is not much use for the tax and city lots, is a gisxl thing for payers to keep coming to the editor those who own property but it is and loading him up with their tales not very attractive to those who of woe about road building and the come herewith the intention of lo waste of money in that direction. cating in the county.
