Mr. Horse
The good old horse, of sterling worth. Iras not yet fallen off the earth.
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.

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.

"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.
