ACTING GOVERNOR OLCOTT.
Secretary of State Olcott is serving a term a3 acting governor
of Oregon.
He is in this position as an honor man, a kind of trusty, by
grace of Governor West. '
In the absence of the governor from the state he becomes act
ing governor for a week or so.
There is no doubt but that Governor West will treat his case
with leniency, and probably parole him.
There is no danger of Olcott making a get-away, or of the
governor having to bring him in with a Winchester.
Olcott has talents for the job, and has done all the usual
stunts of the governor's office in the past week.
He has given out newspaper interviews, granted requisitions
and expressed sympathy for a poor woman and her baby.
He has visited the convict camp, ate a meal with the prison
ers, and boosted the good roads proposition.
Altogether Olcott has upheld the flag of state, and kept his
hand on the tiller and the cash box.
The state might be worse off than with Ben Olcott for governor.
The Capital Journal believes this is the time of year for real
kindness and charity, if such a term is permissible. To help
families that have hard luck, and where the bread-winning ca
pacity is weakened from any cause, is the duty of all citizens.
The Salvation Army is taking up its annual collection to help
those it brings within the scope of its organization, and it is
worthy of hearty co-operation. It reaches a class who often
are overlook by the churches and well-meaning persons manag
ing matters of this kind. This newspaper would consider it a
great favor to learn of families that need a little help about
this time' of the year, and such information will be treated as
confidential, and will receive attention from an organization that
is not given to publishing its works along these lines. So look
around your neghborhood, ascertain the needs of those who are
liable to need a lift, and report to this office.
WHEN THE PEOPLE CALL.
The gentlemen who are announcing themselves as candidates
for the United States senate in Oregon overlook one fact.
They have a right to make such announcements of their can
didacy, and to take it seriously.
But whether the people will take a man seriously for such a
high office on his own say so that's the question.
If the people really want a man to go to the United States
senate, they can let him know about their desire.
They can surround him with great crowds of clamoring vot
ers wherever he goes, and carry him on their shoulders.
They can get up enormous volunteer petitions begging him to
make a sacrifice of himself for the office.
The newspapers can write long articles which he does not hire
them to print, and ask him to become a candidate.
If he should happen to be already a United States senator,
they might say we like your work go ahead and do some more,
But just because a man would like to have the senatorial toga
flopping about his shoulders is not really justification for running.
The Capital Journal is cutting out the press agent stuff sent
to the newspapers by hired publicity managers. The newspa
pers are swamped with this well-meant stuff, but will no longer
give it the space they once accorded it. There may be some
charitable enterprises, like the Bed Cross society, the campaign
against tuberculosis, or the educational institutions, that are
worthy of space, and it will be given, but well-managed newspa
pers cannot hand over their columns to everything that under
takes to work them. For instance, the San Francisco Panama
exposition offers u.i a page of illustrated matter to boost a half
million dollor appropriation in Oregon, and then boost their
fair in 1915. All this the newspapers do, while cheap political
parasites get soft places ond live nt ten-dollars a day on the
n-oncy that is put up by the state and the peoplo, through the
efforts of the aewspnpers. Managers of presidential campaigns
are in the same category.
WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT.
In the city council and school board the people really want
good business methods applied.
They appreciate a street commissioner who once in a while
takes hold of the shovel himself.
They appreciate a teacher who teaches five or ten classes a
day, and is not always crying salary.
There are not many of us in the world who really are paid
what we think our services are worth.
Those in public employment do not seem to think the honor
counts for anything in the way of compensation.
When times get hard and money is scarce, and employment
hard to obtain, the public payrolls never come down.
The taxpayer is held up for lust as much by the salary-drawing
class, whether the .country is prosperous or not.
What the people really want is a little adjustment on the part
of those called their servants to the means of the employer.
So at the recent city election the people voted down all en
croachments on the cash boxes.
Those who cannot comprehend this will live and learn about
it.
X-RAYS AND SMILES.
10 paraphrase scripture some-
wbat, and It haa o be a consldera
ble of somewhat, to fit that newspa
per "There is more rejoicing In the
columns of the Oregonlan over the
one paroled or "trusty" prisoner
who is lost, no matter whether he is
found or not, than over the ninety
and nine that went not astray."
Why all this kicking- about the "re
call." Is not the fixing of a definite
term of office, a provision by which
the office bolder roust at certain
times, go before th.e people for re
election or recall? The recall as it
is provided In the Oregon system,
simply permits the people to take
the recalling, or re-election of the
officer up at any time, instead of at
a fixed time. .-That is all there is to
it

The proverb says, "Misfortunes

City Editor Lockhart, of the States
man, and Evangelist Violet will swap
"pulpits" the evening of December'
13. It would be decidedly funny if
each should do better than the other
at the new jobs.
In the reformation of criminals,
the Oregonlan take but little stock.
It may be right, and Governor
West's experiment may eventually
prove that it Is but in the mean
while, our big contemporary down
the creek should remember that the
dative of Eros is not Erebus.
A Portland Jury yesterday decided
that a wife's affections were worth
$250. Mrs. Cleo Daniels' husband
valued them at $50,000, which shows
the varying Ideas of humanity as to
values.
The Oregonlan should hire some
one out of the kindergarten class to
suggest an idea occasionally to Its
cartoonist, Reynolds.
