THE PRACTICAL MAN AS TO "GOOD GOVERNMENT The Saturday Evening Post discusses the question of government from an angle that appeals to many persons now, because the tax rate is increasing in every state and many have that dangerous point where they ; are beginning to ask if it is worth the price. It is doubt- ful if the great increase in officials, boards and commis- sions, the large number of new laws enacted with a view to regulating business and individual action calling for more all the while, has brought benefits in keeping with the additional expense entailed. The Post says: "Absolutely, no such thing as good government has ever been known, about all the forms have been tried and f very one has shown notable failings. Government itself is at most only a half good thing. Its most important functions are a product of human failings. Probably a; community of saints would have no use for any govern-! The busy world of workers is made up of "practical" men, so dear to the American heart. They are those who ment. accept a fact as it appears to them, without bothering "Government is undergoing a tremendous efficiency about the reasons for it. To question at all is to be that! test iust now. Considered as an organization for con- most abominated creature, a dreamer, an impractical; ducting the public business of a great community, the XL A Galley o' Fun ! HE LOVED HER. He loved l:cr. There was no doubt about that. Anyone could have told that by the way he looked at her. There was no doubt about the joy and pride which was L i.- now thai he had iicr lor his own. He had sought j her O, how vigilantly he had j sought her, am! how loiiy! I he; thought o; partiiii,' with her was bitter to him O, how bitter.' She was good; there was no doubt about that. She was fair What? At any rate she would pass, and that was all that was necessary. She was prec ious, she was worth her weight in gold. No wonder he adored her and cherished her the (iocdess of Lib erty on an American Dollar. "The Time s , ... At? when you man, a crank To the "practical" man the steam of a kettle suggests government of the United States is undoubtedly inferior! to that of Germany. But government is more than merely! a cup of tea. To Stephenson it evolved the locomotive, a concern for carrying on public business. It is a com- 'tnd he narrowly escaped the interior of an asylum for lunatics in making it practical. when a practical man puts his ear to a telephone his pact, a bond that our will at least potentially touches all; of our relations. Personally we would much rather toler-1 ate the weakness of our form of government than have a j thoughts, if they may be called such, are on the answer,! man in the United States in whose presence it was not and not on the startling mystery that conveys the sound I permissable to stand with a hat on, and concerning whom, of a human voice a thousand miles to the room in which: one could not. if one were so minded, lawfully exnress the he is. Were that practical man to turn his attention to the miracle which he uses as a matter of course, his mind would be unsettled and rendered almost useless in his business. To develope the mind is to weaken and eventually destroy the "practical" instincts. This man holds in com mon with the lower animals. The trick horse of the circus or the trained pig of the side-show, turned out into fields to make their own living, starve to deatn. opinion that he was an ass. Probably a free government could never be so efficient as a' bossed one. That is one of the defects of democracy; the demogague is another defect. In short a democratic government is far from absolutely good, yet is the best there is." Former President Taft is developing in a good manyi ways since he beeame a private citizen. For instance, hej is even humorous in some of his public addresses; at least' . he has the faculty of stating a truth in a wav that anneals i An eminent Chicago divine asks: "What is the good; to the sense of humor, a Food aamnle heinir reference to1 of a man owning a thousand coats when he can wear but California as a "chemical laboratory" for "political ex one?"

"We of the East are quite willing that youj lie should have said, "What is the good of a man owning should maintain a clinical laboratory here for political ex a thousand coats when he cannot wear one?"

"Is wood alcohol a pison?" asks an exchange. Drink it! and see. Of course the state hiehwav commission will Mimm- priate no money to assist in hard surfacing the fair, grounds road. That body has adopted a policy of using the! state road funds as a premium to be given to those conn-! ties which bankrupt themselves voting bonds for the benefit of the paving trust. Clatsop, Jackson, Columbia and Hood Kiver counties get all the state road money1 with the exception of a few little dribbles here and there.' Marion county, the second largest county in the state, pays more money into the fund than any other county except Multnomah, but cannot get a dollar out of it bo-; cause the road work done by our county court is paid for as we go along. If we would only vote a blanket bond issue for road purposes and proceed to squander the money the state highway commission would let us dip into the state funds as deeply as we cared to. Next to the fish and game commission the highway commission is the prize booby bunch of all the state officials. OPEN FORUM - ver- il the The big Pacific Northwest is at last getting a hearing in the world. The Spokane Spokesman-Review gives publicity to the statement that Gerrit Fort, passenger traffic manager of the Union Pacific system, is a believer in the idea of making one big community of the whole Pacific Northwest, lie believes that what benefits one section should benefit all sections; that much effort is be ing wasted because the cities that should be co-operating are pullling against each other. And the Heppner (5a-U'tte-Tiines adds: "Mr. Fort is on the right track, and if he will broaden his big idea so as to include the country community ami the agricultural interests that back up these cities, he will surely have something worth while." Chairman Walsh of the Industrial Relations commit tee, asserts that low wages is the cause of unrest among the workingmen. If this is true, how does Mr. Welsh reconcile it with the fact that there was less unrest in the years past when the wage scale averaged very much lower than at the present time?
