I notice by the public prints 'that steels of all the standard tints, strawberry roan, elnviiniik ami buy, buff cochin, black and drnppled gray, bring just as liiu.li as horses lining before your motor cars were sprung. When something new has come to puss, some engine-driven thing of brass, some cart that eat.i lip gasoline instead of browsing on the green, tho prophets say, "This spells tho en.l of Dobbin, man's old trusty friend! This fives Iho Inst, the final jolt, to every gedling mare nud eolt! The equine tribe might just as well sit quiet while, we toll its knell. J'or traveling, tho motor car, than any horse is better far; and when it comes to heavy freight tho motor truck can hit tha gtiit; so there's no place on earth, indeed, for and bald faced sorrel steed." Ami' vet the steeds refuse to creep, henrt brooken, to tho rubbish heap. Their heads and tails are high in nir, and they nre wanted everywhere. They paper, bi-autil'ul nnd nice, commanding such u gorgeous price bologna makers can't afford to purchase samples from the horde. (VtmrtiM. WMbt Admit. .Ni.HP)tr Kr?W I ' M"' THOROUGH CLEAN-UP DAYS. ( LEANING nnd beautifying days nre near, when household ers nnd citizens ns householders, haul away their ash j heaps nnd refuse, beautify, paint and generally renovate. To give the cleansing period city-wide significance is to nialce life and living more worthwhile this summer. As April (showers bring May flowers, so April plans assure best May clean-up campaigns. Of all clean-up days ever observed by cities, Richmond, Va., last year probably set the best example of systematic methods, general observance and successful results. The Richmond cam paign covered two weeks devoted to the wholesale clean-up of the city, following an energetic organization and publicity cam paign. When the mayor issued his proclamation, setting aside May 5 to 17 as a clean-up period of the city health, school and civic organizations conferred, mapped out plans and set to work .with vigor upon their Agean stable, task, for conditions in Rich mond were not good; in fact, in sections they seemed hopeless. The chief health officer issued 50,000 circulars explaining what it was proposed to do and police distributed them to every liouso and store in the city. Mass meetings were held for whites and blacks, who were addressed by the mayor and others. News papers gave their loyal support and churches and organized labor held "anti-dirt" meetings, with the result that when clean up time came, everybody was thoroughly imbued with the idea. Lectures on cleanliness were substituted for certain oilier Ktudy in the public schools during the two weeks, nnd a school holiday was given in each section on the day designated by the street, cleaning head. Cleanliness and sanitation were preached into the children's minds, and, through them, to their parents. Each child was given n report card to tell what he was accom plishing. loy Scouts attacked the vacant lots. Altogether, everybody in Richmond observed clean-up time. The change was remarkable; the city was actually cleaned up. IJest of all, however, there was a new civic pride born and a strong "Keep Clean" ordinance has already been passed to make the results of the clean-up days permanent. WHY NOT THIS SUBSIDY, TOO? THAT the government should do certain things free for cer tain interests is fallacious. The government built the Panama canal, also it has instituted and is operating the parcels post system and will build with the people's mon ey a railroad in Alaska. Is it to be established as a precedent that certain corporations or interests may demand that their products and goods be carried free of charge, while everybody else pays? ,' , Tho Roise Capital News puts the issue about right in the fol lowing editorial : "The United States appropriated a large sum of money with which to build a railway into Alaska. "Now, suppose, under the guise of building up the merchant marine of this couniry. it should Ik1 attempted to provide that goods transported in coasiwise vessels of the United States, nhould be transported free over that railroad, and that coal or ether Alaskan products billed for shipment in such vessels should Ito. transported free of charge. Lapp & Bush, Bankers Trfifisact a General Banking Business Safety Deposit Boxes Traveler' Checks "Would the American people stand for it?" "Yet that is identically what it is proposed to do at the Pana ma canal. "Under the guise of benefitting the coastwise shipping busi ness, it is proposed to grant free transportation to all goods transported by vessels engaged in this business. "The American people will have to pay for this transporta tion ; and how can the American people receive the benefit from the expenditure? With Portland selecting business men for legislators, it be hooves the outside counties to get busy. Multnomah county gen erally gets what she asks for, and she is not modest in the ask ing, either, as witness the little scheme by which the state pays a million and a half or more dollars for her on her bridge bonds, and also stands in danger of having to pay the other million and a quarter, the principal of those same bonds. Portland is all right, it is the other counties th at need to select some brainy representatives. The skeleton of an Irish giant ten feet tall has been exhumed in Dysart county, of the Emeral d Isle. This is a very recent re port and it is possible the Ulster movement has made the skele ton look much larger than it really is. The skull is said to meas ure 18 inches from the crown to the point of the chin, and due allowance must be made for the aggressive lower jaw in trying to get this in understandable shape. . Kansas now has a plan for gi ving every convict in her prison a college education. In order to get the full four-year course, Kansas criminals will have to become still greater criminals or else strike up a friendship with the judges, and this makes the cost of education comes high, at least to a respectable convict's pride. Gulf port, Missouri, after a trial of a year and a half, voted not long ago to retain the commission form of government. Al most any other plan is better than the antiquated system which obtains in so many Western communities. G. A. Cobb wants to be the Democratic candidate for gover nor on a prohibition platform. He hails from Portland, and will probably run neck and neck with that other distingiushed prohi, Geo. C. Brownell, of Oregon City.
