GOVERNOR
WEST AS A
REFORMER
CORRESPONDENT MAKES ANALYT
ICAL EXAMINATION OF THE
VICE CRUSADE FIGHT MILL GO
ON FOREYER.
The forces of evil are alwayB
mjissed and hard to divide. They
liave lenrned how to fight and keep
on fighting. If defeated thoy only go
at the harder and In the end almost
always win out. Tholr loader, as old
as eternity, believes In war, and Is al
ways at It. Ho has had, In the Indi
vidual and In the world, few defeats,
and will not say so when he Is defeat
ed. For ages God has been trying his
hand In this warfare with evil, and up
to dato It looks as f the devil Is
ahead. The governor Is resourceful,
and he will need to be before he Is
lone. Evil can always depend on Its
votaries, man to man, while the good
are nearly always cowards. The gov
ernor thinks the church people and
the temperance people will stand by
him. They will for awhile, but how
soon they tire. They have been de
feated so often that they yield too
soon.' They have little or no heart to
go at and Btay. Only a victorious
army shouts and keeps on till the
cleared sky tells of triumph, and the
hills cheer the victors.
Churches and temperance resolu
tions look good, and to some sound
like victory, but they never yet won a
liattle.
Defore this battle Is over WeBt's
heart will grow sore, and he will feol
lonely, and wonder where his warriors
are. If the church was honest and In
earnest, and the temperance forces
true to what thoy profess this lonely
man would never have needed to take
upon him this battle. We would have
won out long ago, and evil would not
flaunt Itself right In our very faces,
and drive home to the heart of human
ity Is hard, cruol bargains, If those
who profess so loudly to be for right
had been true to tholr convictions.
If West Is honest, and who doubts
It, lie Is one of the greatest men now
living. He would, If he could. He
will yet startle the land. He will do
good and, evil will feel, for awhile, the
force of law, and justice, and then the
war will be over, and again we will
see the same things going on until
the heart turns sick, and the good are
made to wonder If, after all, It pays.
The friendly papers toll of 3000 In a
mass meeting in the Gypsy Smith
tabernacle, To some that looks like a
great meeting, and to the Inexperi
enced, the mass of people, tell of Im
minent victory. Hut when we remoni
ber that there are enough church and
temperance people In Portland to fill
that Tabernacle six times, and then
look at the thing oirty one-third full,
It does not look like the millennium
was very close, or that Oregon was
going to lie reformed tomorrow.
Kvll knows no luw. When it can
not win victories It buys them. It Is
good at bribery, and has the stuff with
which to do It. It lias prostituted the
race so long that It looks good to
most people to be' humbugged. It is
easier to believe a lie than the truth.
We have treated moral battles so long
as a joke that we smile when another
fellow starts In.
When the moral people, the church
people, and the temperance force real
ly want reform, and go at it, there will
be no trouble to get It. If the bread
and butter question would let us
alono, for even a short time, we could
all turn trood: but so lone hh tlint. Is

I'EOl'LE MHO SI'EM) THEIR
MONEY OUT OF TOWN.
(Editorial In the Jacksonville Post.)
Perhaps one of the greatest, obsta
cles a small city has to contend with
In Its upward climb Is a tendency on
the part of a number of its inhabi
tants to spend their money out of
town.- This is true of Jacksonville as
well as other places. Money spent out
of town, nine times out of ten, Is gone
forever; money expended locally is
circulated from hand to hand and Ib
of lasting benefit to home people.
Outside merchants and mall order
houses have no material Interest In
your city. Local merchants have) they
want to see It advance. If you were
soliciting donations to he expended in
municipal improvement, to whom
would you go with the better chance
of success Sears, Roebuck & Co., or
your home merchant or business man?
How often Is the complaint heard that
merchants In small towns do not carry
a sufficient assortment of goods one
can't get what one wants. Create a
demand by naklng your local mer
chant for what you want and he will
Burprise you by his alacrity In sup
plying your needs. What Is true of
the mercantile business is true of all.
It is the part of good citizenship to
patronize home Industries, businesses,
crafts and professions whenever possible.

WHOSE BUSINESS IS IT,
(Corvallls Gazette-Times.)
Tho development of this town is
one man's duty;
Nor Is It the duty of any one group
of Its people.
The Individual must not hesitate to
start the work;
His neighbors should not hesitate to
help It along.
No one element, can accomplish de
sired results alone;
Neither will one element alone be
benefited thereby, i
It Is to the Interest of all and the ,
business of all;
One man may originate, but all men
must execute.
The first duty of each one Is to enl'st
the aid of all;
The duty of pll Is to promote Jthe In
terest of each.
The development of this town is no
one man's duty;
This town's development (s the town's
opportunity.
This town's welfare is the whole
town's business
