TIsTsf !yi EXPENSES AND INCOMES.
at Oregon City and Lebanon some six weeks ago, the dis
covery entitles Tom to a trip to South America and to
be coupled in history with the discoverer of the north
pole and the discoverer of a new river almost a thousand
miles long recently placed on the map at great bodily risk
by It.

W. H. Meredith, having accepted the prohibition party
nomination for congress, virtually leaves a clear field to
Fred Hollister for democratic choice in the primaries.
He is a veiy energetic and able young man who is backed
almost unanimously, without regard to party affiliation,
in Coos county, his home, and'should make a strong race.
Mr. Hollister has a good chance to win in Novem
ber, especially if W. C. Hawley is re-nominated by the re
publicans, which now seems more than likely.
""Adison Bennett of the Oregonian is among those at
tending the good roads meetings and boosting for the
bond issue. Mr. Bennett is a graceful writer and the Oregonian-a
great paper, but Marion county, citizens feel
that thev can settle their own mad affairs with mi t nrL
vice or interference from either. -

good times is a pretty theory, but it doesnt foQlj

It may fool the men for the moment, but it can't fool
the raen's.wives, for they who keep the house know more
about the narrow margin between want and plenty in the
household than does the secretary of the treasury.
A woman is wise enough to see that while the increased
cost of living is palpable and genuine, the increase of in
come exists only in promises is like the pot of gold at the
end of the rainbow.
What the woman feels instinctively is well supported by
reasoning. Increase of price does not mean increase of
business ; it means less business. It brings no more wealth
into existence; it results in less production. It brings no
more money into circulation; it drives it out of circula
tion. - .

they can. fix themselves may hold high carnival over
charging one another and imagine they are getting rich
by the boot-strap-lifting process. But the millions who
have for sale the commodity upon which they themselves
cannot fix the price labor get the worst of it all
around., . - -
So high pvices do not' insure either brisk business or
good wages. Even in most of the great trusts there is a
contraction of expenditure.

A time when living expenses shall again be cheap is the
prayer of millions of mothers of families in this land.
The officials of the Colorado Coal and Iron corpora
tion which is the cause of the Colorado strike, say, and
swear to it besides, that the Rockefellers are not inter
ested in that company. Young Rockefoller says he is and
that he will spend millions before he will submit to the
dictation of labor or arbitrate any of the matters in dis
pute. It is evident that either the officials above men
tioned or Young Rockefeller are first-class liars. We do
rot believe Young Rockefeller would claim to own prop
erty he was not interested in, and especially such a prop
erty as the coal mines in Colorado. He has property
enough now to keep the whole family dodging the asses
sor and income-tax collector. Hence we are forced to
believe the officials simply lied and then swore to the lie
at the behest of Young Rockefeller to protect him from
public execration. Having evidently lied for this, to them,
laudable purpose, is it not fair to presume they are lying
about the conditions and as to their causes?

Otis Bruce Goodwin, of Los Angeles, brought suit for
a divorce alleging his wife "was out at unseemly hours."
The lady set up in defense, after admitting the charge
that she was the officer of a lodge and that her duties as
such officer demanded her being out late. The wise judge
failed to fall into the trap so neatly prepared by the wo
man and held the excuse was sufficient. You see if the
judge had held the other way what a mess he would have
made of it for the men, to whom the lodge meeting is a
shield and protection. The woman grinned, and remained
Mrs. Daisy Helen Goodwin, and also held on to her job
in the lodge.
