FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 2». 1923
Janitor Ed Stark had a number of
the count? prisoners Friday last, cut
tug dandelions and other weeds out
if the couit house lawn. One of the
boys wh. lias |>ersistently refused to
work, wa told that he might have a
diet of bread and water, if he wanted
it and forthwith had a change of
Bind, and went to work. Some of the
young men who are arrested for boot
legging and other offenses, look upon
imprisonment as a sort of a joke, in
whgh vu-w the public does not share.
The sooner these mislead young
men learn that they have been used
*s cat - paws for older men who make
the moonshine and get the boys to
peddie it. they will not seek to hide
the identity of the shrewd moonshine
operators, who ought to be in jail
themselves. The words of a boy's
father and mother and of his real
friends, are disregarded, and the ad-
rice of the man who would ruin them
Kcially and morally, has a far great
er weight with them. No one has
any use for a hardened criminal; but
there a • thousands of people who
are willing to help and aid a boy,
who having seen the error of his way.
show .1 determination to reform and
make a man of himself. Boys, think

the dollar. For many decades, poli
ticians have played the game for the
spoils of office and for personal ag-
grandizment. In that way, the lead
ers of the people have lost sight of
the real issue before them and the
betterment of their country as a
whole. We must have politics, but
let it be for the good of all, and not
for the single individual. The people
are not all fools. They have been
buncoed by pretenders, until they are
sick of it.
The man who thinks he can fool
this or that element of voters by
playing the old party bazoo, and be
ing all things to all men, is bound for
a fall, and he will land hard. The
issue to day is the welfare of our
country. The individual who will not
take a decided stand one way or the
other, is in danger of falling between
the upper and nether millstone, and
will be ground to dust. Frequently
a man is heard to say: “I think this
or that idea is right; but I am in such
a position in business or politics, that
I cannot take aides without making
enemies.” In nine cases out of ten
that fellow is a political trimmer, and
cannot be depended upon in any case.
The man who makes enemies by do
ing what he conceives to be right, is
a fellow you can bet on. What the
world needs is more moral courage to
stand for the right thing, for men
who will fearlessly do what the con
science and heart tell them is right.
The old bunco politician must go. and
he will. The people are going to
know hereafter, who will "stay hitch
ed;” they are going to relegate the
“policy man” to the brush, where he
belongs. Nationalism of the right
sort is going to prevail as a principle
in this country. The nation is not
more or less than what the individual
members of the country makes of it.
We have had too much dodging. The
nation must sluff the selfish politi
cians. and rebuild upon the found-
ation of Americanism; no more, no
less. Where do you stand?
Wna' h needed today is the poii-
beian who haa some real honest con-
Dction.« that he can separate from hia
P»r»onal < gotism, his ambition for
Power, and hia overweening love for

LET SOMETHIN!; GOOD
RE SAID
When over the fair fame of friend
or foe
The shadow of disgrace Khali full,
instead
Of words of blame, or proof of 1 thus
and so,
Let something good be said.
Forget not that no fellow yet
May fall so low but love may lift
his head;
Even the cheek of shame with tears
is wet
If something good be said.
No generous heart may vainly turn
aside
In ways of sympathy; no soul so
dead
But may awaken strong and glorified
If something good be said.
And so I charge thee: by the thorny
Crown,
And by the cross on which the
Saviour bled,
And by your own soul's hope of fair
renown
Let something good be said.

GLENESSEN PICTURE
RECALLS OLD WRECK
In an office of this city is a large
picture drawn from a photo, of the
stranded bark Glenesslin that went
ashore at Neahkanie October 1, 1913.
The Glenesslin was a British vessel
in ballast, bound for the mouth of the
Columbia river, and was under char
ter at Portland to load with wheat for
the United Kingdom, October first of
the year above mentioned, according
to a citizen of thia county, was a
beautiful sunshiny autumn day, and
the vessel was noticed by many shore j
men to be heading in toward the land,
and curiosity was roused to a high
pitch among the observers, as to
what it all meant. Steadily the bark,
came toward the shore, with all sails
set, when on the rocky shores of
Neahkanie, she suddenly struck, and
lay, her bowsprit high upon the un
friendly rocks of the Oregon coast.
The crew numbering something like
25 men, were fortunute in getting
through the surf jo shore, without
loss, and during the few days that
she remained in position, consider
able of her stores were taken a shore.
Following a high tide, however, she
slipped back into deep water, and the
hull was entirely submerged, the ves
sel being a total loss.
At an inquiry held in Portland, sub
sequent to the wrecking of the vessel
it came out that the captain was
drunk, and that the vessel was in
charge of the third mate at the time
she struck. The mate, was instructed
to steer a certain course which led in-

From Exchanges
Included in express shipments from
Hillsboro to Tillamook Monday morn
ing were 105 baskets of grapes, con
signed by LaMont of Forest Grove
to two Tillamook dealers. They were
brought to Hillsboro by the grower to
save delay in the transfer from the
electric to the Tillamook train, and
are only a beginning of heavy ship
ments made from the western fruit
section to the coast. Commenting on
these shipments a Hillsboro man who
has followed with interest promotion
of a short cut in a highway to the
coast said that were such a road in
operation at present, if the Wilson
river survey were followed, the grow
er would merely have loaded his
fruit on his truck, driven up Gales
creek to the junction and then across
the mountains and delivered his
goods in a little more time than it
took to deliver them to the railroad.—

shore. Seeing that the vessel would
soon be in the breakers, the mate
went
to the captain and explained
I
where his course was leading, but was
told to “keep her on the course.”
Disregarding the captain’s orders,
when too late, the mate attempted to
put the bark about, but the wind had
died down in the lee of Necarney
mountain, and the ship floated in to
her doom.

WHY NOT PLANT OYSTERS?
Shoalwater bay in Washington und
Y'aquina bay to the south of us, have
fine native oyster beds. Recently a
Portland company bought all of the
native oyster beds on Yaquina bay,
and will transplant Chesepeake bay
large oysters, and add to the beds of
the native oyster, with the expect
ation of furnishing the markets of
Portland and other large cities in this
state. Naturally, this brings up the
question of reviving the oyster beds
of Netarts bay, and having a survey
made of Tillamook bay, with the idea
of introducing the native oyster in
that bay. The presumption would be
that if they can be successfully grown
to both the north and south of us,
they ought to lie grown here. The
successful propagation of oysters on
our bays would add thousands of tour
ist* to this section each year, as the
oyster is one of America’s favorite
shell fish, and every one likes to see
them on the hotel and restaurant men
us. The attention of Tom Ross, the
live member of the Oregon Fish com
COUNTRIES mission, is called to the matter.
