DAILY CAPfTAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON FRIDAY, EL1V 17, 1007. V Bi HOFER BROS. Pfa" and Popetors E. HOFER, Editor. A. F. nOFER, Manager. THE JOURNAL STANDS FOR PROGRESS, DEVELOPMENT, GOVERNMENT. AND NO DEGRADIID LABOR. GOOD THE CRITIC. A mud-turtlo sat on a stono In tho sun, And blinked in a elo stupid way; A vain little fly Came loitering by ' He stopped on that same rock to say "You're tho ugliest creaturo that ever I saw; ' You aro clumsy, and stupid and slow, And Just how you manago at living at all,. Is a think I should much like to know." But tho llttlo mud-turtlo spoke never a word As ho Bat on tho stone In tho sun; Ho wearily blinked, Ho thought as ho winked, That a wlao fly would let him nlono, But tho fly had grown proud of his power to torment, And ho buzzed at tho mud-turtlo'a head Till tho turtlo at last gave one short snap, And tho critical insect waB dead. It is really too bad that tho fly never know '. That turtlo was wlaor than ho; For a croaturo that thinks Ah It winks and It blinks May a dangorous onomy bo. And bocuuBo ono can chnttor and buzz, and annoy 'TIb no proof ho In clover or wise. Ho may do no moro good than to servo as tho food For tho ono whom ho feigns to dosplso. ..o SUGGESTIONS FOR SALEM FROM A MISSOURI TOWN. 'There Is no use going there. Mother Is having a card party this even- lng AND HAS NO TIME FOR ME." ., t, 4 , i , Tho offlcer, neverthless, took tho boy home, only to find that ho had spoken tho truth. ' ..,,, . . Tho mother-refused; to llBten to the offlcer because it would Interrupt 1 ' "LOOUp'tHE BOY'S FATHER, I HAVE NO TIME NOW." The officer served a BUbpoena upon the woman to appear at tho hearing of tho case and departed with her boy for tho Jail. HOW MUCH COMMENT IS NEEDED UPON THE ABOVE? It seems to us that tho mere recital of tho story wouldl fill with terror tho heart of tho mother who loved, yet for this, or for other cause, neglected her boy or girl. THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS MOTHER HAD NO TIME FOR HER BOY. How far back did tho neglect run to bring tho boy to auch a con II- tion? Wo imagine somo ono will Bay, angrily, "But this Is an exceptional cose." Yes, so was tho caso of Evelyn Neablt Thaw's mother; exceptional b'ecauso their sin found thorn out in such a way, THAT THE DETAILS BECAME PUBLIC. Wo do not wish to sermonize; we think tho story Itself Is much too vivid' to need much comment. ' Only this much further: the vice of NEGLECTING ONE'S CHIL DREN IS BECOMING FAR TOO PREVALENT, and is sapping tho foun dations of morality and of tho nation. Take care of tho boys and; tho girls and vico and crlmo will vanish ns if exorcised by a magician's wand. OREGON LONGS FOR DELIVERANCE. sharp What a llvo and nctlvo commorclal club can do for a town la indicated In tho c.iHo of Hannibal, Misaouri. iinnnllml Ir ehloflv known afar ns tho early homo of Mark Twain. For many years tho town wns co ntont to rest with Its laurola as THE BOYHOOD HOME OF THE GREATEST AMERICAN lIU.MUlllbr. Mark Twain hlmsolf hod mado it famous in his writings, such M "Tom Sawyor'Vnnd "Huckloborry Finn," In which books tho llannlbn! of sixty yonrs ago Ir doacrlbed. But that Hannibal waB only n village, a small, straggling collection of housoH lying In a vulloy between tho hlllB Hint rlso north nnd Bouth from tho bank of tho mighty Min&lBjlppl. EVEN NOW HOMEHODY OCCASIONALLY REFERS TO MANNIBAL AH A VILLAGE. As a matter of fnct, Hannibal gro.v considerably of tor Mnrk Twain left thoro. So did ovory othor wostorn town which tlmo and chnnco blessed with n railroad) or two. Hannibal got to bo n city of nbout 12,000 people BUT THAT WAS ITS LIMIT IN THE NATURAL ORDER OF THINGS. It had grown up to Just as big a town ns tho agricultural country lying back of it could sup'port. That country wub all cultivated nntl dovolopod bo thero waB no nntunil economic roiiBon why Ilnnnlbnl ehould grow JuBt of Itsolf boyond Its llttlo oldl 12,000 or ro, which It maintained with SCARCELY A FLUCTU ATION THROUGH SEVERAL DECADES. Lohb thn ten yoarB ago Hannibal began to wnko. A onmmorclnl club waB organized. Rome of tho loading IjubIiiobb and professional inon got togothor nnd said to thoniReIvcB: "Wo have horo a beautiful town, with a flno climate, sovornl rnll ronda nnd ono rlvor tho biggest ovor. WIIV DON'T '(' (mow Wo lmvo grown to tho limit iib a nrmlng community, and what wo nood now Ih factorloB JuBt fnctorlus. I.ot'H rouuh out nnd got a fow" THAT WAS GOOD STIFF TALK. Hannibal wiih tlrod of bolng known nB tho somnolent vlllngo whoro Sammy CIdiuoum white wnBlioil tho fanco or bribed tho othor boy to do It. SO THE BUSINESS .MEN REACHED OUT. Tho flrHt thing that enmo Hannibal's way wiib n shoo factory. IT DID NOT COME WITHOUT PULLING. Othor good Iowiih wanted it too. But Ilauulbnl wanted It so badly Mint special Inducements woro of fered. Hnmilhnl got It. With the shoo factory camo an inorouBO In popula tion. Many Hktlled workora woro reunited. BosldoH thtH, many of tho local young folks who had boon morely hnnglng to tho rnggod odgo of exlstonco out of jobs moBt of tho tlmo Kooii found prolUnble omploymout and grow to bo skilled workers, Thus tho hIioo factory worked both ways. IT BROUGHT NEW PEOPLE, AND IT PUT NEW LIFE INTO THE OLD PEOPLE. Of courno It hoi pod busluasB gonornlly, for tho wookly payroll was largo and tho people spout It right In Hannibal. Tho uoxt thing was u wholu lot bigger than n shoo factory. It was a regular aton-Btrlko. For some yonrs a rooky region south of tho city luul boon suspected of bolng guilty of Portland cement. Tho commorclal club of Ilnnnllulil Induced oxports to visit tho place audi oxnmlno tho ground. After imioh fuss and furore n big company was orgnnlzed, comont plant costing mnro than a million dollar was established, mid In ono largo lump about f000 population was nddod to Hanulbnl. THE TOWN GREW SO FAST THAT YOU COULD ALMOST SEE IT EXPAND. Now liiulnoM blocks In brick nnd stono bognn to go up. New bank bulldlugx nppoarud. Now hotels wltho prlvto baths woro built. Only four yoara ago Mark Twain want t Ilnnnlbnl to boo If ho could v Audi any old boyhood friends. Ho stopped at tho blggost hotel In town nnd naked tho clork for n room with a bath. Tho clork atnrod at him In umuziinonU NOBODY HAD DARED SUCH A PREPOSTEROUS SUGGESTION IN THE HISTORY OF HANNIBAL. But if Mnrk Twain should go thtsro now ho would And n hotel with pri vate baths and prlvato tolephonos. Tho eommurclnl club did it. llnuiii b:U is now a thriving city with nbout 20,000 pooplo. It la at III i-ouchlng out after faotorlos, because ovory factory means a ooiuldurublo incronsu In tho population. ALL INCREASES MEAN MORE BUSINESS FOR THE BUTCHER, THE BAKER, AND THE BUILDER, NOT TO SPEAK OF THE BANKER. Tho country la full of Just such tpwns ns Ilnnnlbnl, which have within thQinsQlyoa tho possibility of much Inrgor growth, Tho right kind or commercial club or board of trado can do tho busi ness. tf - . WOMAN AND CARDS. When will tho boodlo bosses of Oregon bo brought up with a turn, ns has boon dono in 'Frisco? Thoro aro vaguo rumora that a largo fund has been ralsedl at Portland TO BRING THEM TO TIME THERE. It takes money to Investigate andlay baro nnd publish to tho world tho corruption thnt exlBts. Tho Cnpltal Journal was abused a fow months ago when it said ORE GON HAD ITS ABE RUEFS Local politicians, who nro sonsltlvo 6n such matters, flow Into fury at Tho Journal's Statement. Will any well-informed mnn deny that a fund of $1,000 would not dig up grafts right hero In tho Capital? Is our city, county, school and state govornmont so perfect that wo would find NO ILL-GOTTEN GAINS, NO TAINTED MONEY? Tho pcoplo of Oregon long for dellvornnco from all grafts all tho way from Portland to tho local county governments. Tnko tho llttlo Item of tho way tho Oregon school lands have boon grabbed and frltterod away, bo that this stato has ono dollar of school fundB to ahow whoro adjoining Btntos hnvo flvo to aovon dollnra?
