Goodwin, a life-long Republican, editor of Goodwin's Weekly, published at Salt Lake, and a very conservative man, has the following in his last issue:) It requires months and years to plan, and infiinite labor to weave a large Turkish carpet. When completed it represents the long, wasting labor of hu man beings who, while incorporating their very souls into the wonderful fabric, had not sufficient food to properly nourish their bodies. But at last a patient worker, taking the principle on which the carpet was woven, began to study how machinery might be made to do the work that the hands in Turkey were doing. He made and changed his plans, he made and changed the molds for the machinery that was to be, and, after years of la bor, he perfected it, and, attaching to it the power that had been evolved from the brain of Watt, it all moved harmoniously, and on trial did the work automatically that before required the work of scores of men. That invention has been improved upon until now a man who has money enough to install thpmachinery and purchase the material for it to work upon can in a week produce a carpet al most as enduring and beautiful as those upon which scores of people wear out their lives in producing. At first, when the steam engine and the power loom were started in England, the frenzied people tore down the struc tures in which they were set, because they reached the natural conclusion that the poor were about to lose all chances of mak ing a living. But the world is wide, and as yet is thousands of years re moved from enlightenment, and though those machines which transfer the burdens from the arms of flesh to arms of steel, have been vastly multiplied, it has found that there is more and more work for men. But it is likewise true that men with money can command this machinery and make it work for them, and to the dollars they have add thousands and m'llions more. . This makes heart-burnings discontent, and men who are strug gling for a livelihood cry out against the inequalities of the world's gifts, forgetting that Alladin had no more than others until he evoked the genii which was thenceforth his slave. And that the imprecations should not be against Alladin, but against the slave that compassed all of Alladin's wishes. So we hear men on all sides inveighing against all monopolies and combines which are piling up wealth. We see the prosecuting officers of the government proceeding ""Unst the monopolies and combines; we read in the daily press that this or that monopoly or combine should be attacked and destroyed. But the truth of the matter is that the men thus arraigned are not one whit different from the man who buys a crnte of twenty-five cantaloupes for a dollar and fells them to his custom ers for fifteen cents ench. It was his genii who brought the treasures and built the mar velous houses and decorated them with gems. There is no way to crush monopolies and combines, and we can think of only one way to curb them. That is by a system of graduated taxation. Money rules the world now, but the world is not hnlf re deemed. More and better schools are needed, more hospitals ; more op portunities need to bo opened for the poor; more obstructions re moved from thoir paths. There is but one thing through which this can be done, and that is the genii which modern men call money. The way to obtain this is by taxing the incomes of men, of monopolies' and combines. The tax should be graduated. A fair reward for work, a fair interest on money should be allowed, but after that the taxes should increase up to the point of confiscation when a certain percentage is reached.

PRINTED NEAR 57 YEARS AGO The announcement of the Harrl man system's intention to build Into the Coos liny country by way of the Sulslaw, brings to light several Inci dents In connection with the life and activities of Scottsburg, which In 1854, was the metropolis of South western Oregon.

In other words, In fixing up the Carlton Hotel he contracted debts amounting to $76,500, and was 4U,uuu shy or tnu amount uecee sary to meet them September 1. e Kruse should not have worried about his bills, or skipped. He should have let the men he owed do the worrying, at least. An auto, like death, loves a shin ing mark. Governor Deenen, of Illi nois, is nursing a broken ankle to day, due to the 111 nature of one of the hairless brutes. Upton Sinclair theorized on "free marriage," and found it delightful, but when his wife gave him a prac tical demonstration of it, it made him well, wrinkle his nose. e The rain has done much good, but I if there Is much more of It, it may do much harm for instance, the j prunes may drink too much and go on a 'bust." John Henry Mooney walked from New York to San Francisco In 79 1 days, beating the record made by Ed-1 ward Payson Weston by 2tt days. No record can stand when the ubiquitous Johni Henry tackles It. e W. P. Hnwley, president of the Hawley Pulp & Paper Co., doing business at Oregon City, says If the proposed canal is built "we will quit." Of course it would be a tre mendous blow to the nation should Hawley quit, for one reason because the American people hate a quitter. Still if Mr. Hawley will walk down to the bank of the raging Willam ette, deftly insert the Index finger of his right hand in the swirling wa ters thereof, softly withdraw the same and gaze Intently for five min utes into the hole his finger has left, he will get a vision of the dire calamity that will follow his quitting. e Why a railroad company should be permitted to charge more for hauling freight half the length of Its road than for hauling the same freight the entire length of the road, Is something the common, every-day, In-expert citizen cannot understand. Of course the Initiated in railroad matters can readily understand that a half may be greater than the whole, or that two pounds of any thing should be sold for less than one but the averai layman, and grocers don't figure It that way. o Foley Kidney Pills Will reach your Individual case If you have any form of kidney or blad der trouble, nny backache, nervous ness, rheumatism, uric acid poisoning or irregular and painful kidney ac- j tlon.
