and snapped at the lie and made it
worse by amplifying it.
Now the Headlight, about which
the whole thing started, denies the
statement.
AS The AsToRIAN said yesterday,
none but knave would make such a
statement, and none but a fool would
believe it. The Postscript, which can
play the the knave or fool as occasion
requires, still insists that the lie il
uttered is SO, and is doubly guilty OF
the most shameless msndacity.
But what else but fraud and false
hood could be expected from such a
concern and all connected with it.

CONTEMPTIBLE JOURNALISM.

EVERY army has a crowd of bum
mers hanging on its tanks and rear,
mendicants who can skulk and steal
but can't fight, and keeping carefully
from the center of conflict, stay as
close as possible to the sutler wagon
The army of journalists is similarly
cursed. There is a class of creatures
who hate to see a man succeed in the
newspaper business. No matter how
patient, how industrious, how applica.
BILE he may be, if he is able to make a
living and a respectable name fol
himself and give his wife and children

the newspaper field gnash their jaws

But years of toll of brain and nerve

boarding house life. 1t quotes from
Gen. 1. n. Stiles, Of Chicago: ''They
are simply hot-beds of immortality
Boarding houses are ripe with scan

in them has nothing to occupy heI

reaching. The boarding house is moi

dals-and too often of private home

avoiding the boarding houses, and
they are broad and philosophical
The boarding house as a home for
young married people is contrary to
American institutions, instincts and
traditions. We are pre-eminently
home builders and the perpetuity OF
our society and government depends
largely upon a careful training of
these patriotic outgrowths of Ameri-
can principle.

BRIEFLY STATEB.

The rush for timber lands in north.
western Oregon has resulted in a spe.
cies of advertising that is as profitable
as it is temporary. Every applicant
for timber land has to pay $40 to have
that application published ten weeks
in paper nearest the land.
This patronage has occasioned the
starting of many new papers and has
aided the finances of many old ones.
A year ago paper, for instance, was
started In Tillamook-the Headlight.
The rush for timber was that way and
in short time the headlight was a
M-page paper crammed with timber
land notices.
This aroused the ire of papers that,
had the Headlight not existed would
have got the notices.
With this Introductory, the follow
ing, from the Headlight of the lst
inst, will be understood and appre.
ciated:
A LIE NAILED,

$40 for every timber notice published,
and under no circumstances have we
paid out cent to secure the Land Office
patronage. In Justice to Hon. j. L. Ap-
person, and to exonerate ourselves, we
shall take some trouble to ferret out and
expose the Telephone-R Registers alleged
reliable authority.
We trust that the Salem Statesman,
and any other papers that may have
copied the TetephoRe-Register'S state
ment, will make proper correction, as
the charges are unjust, and we expect
to efectually substantiate what we assert
an regard to the matter.

phone Register that this lie started:

A SOFT ANSWER.

conceals its shallowness the Postscript
eyades both lies of which it was yes
terday convicted by THE Historian
and utters another. This makes three,
but lying is easier than the truth-to
the Postscript. The article of the 28th
of October, which called out Captain
Apperson's denial, was not written by
either Dunbar nor Snyder.
A canneryman of this city has been
putting up coin at their earnest solic-
itation for some time to run the pa
per.
The whole thing would make long
story, and if this is denied THE AsTo:
RIAN can publish it: it would make
interesting reading.
So far as the charge against The
AsToR1AN as to "divvies," is concerned,
that is simply lie number four.
THE AsToRIAN or its proprie-
tors, singly or collectively, nev-
er had any understanding with
any official in or out of any
Office, federal, state or anywhere else
as to any ''divvy" or percentage, or
anything of that kind.
For some time THE AsToRIAN has put
up with all manner of slurs from these
creatures who are jealous of its ability
and success; for the sake of harmony,
these things have been overlooked.
the proprietors preferring to bend
their energies to the advancement OF
the interests of the place rather than
indulge in any personalities.
But meekness has been mistaken
for weakness, and forbearance for
fear. Emboldened by impunity, in
suits have accumulated, and until il
became unbearable, and though THE
Historian regrets that its usual dig.
nifty is temporarily displaced by un-
seemly personal discussion, yet the
public will certainly perceive that
this thing has been forced upon this
paper and it is duty no less to the
public than to the paper that these
conspirators against public peace and
party harmony be shown up in their
true light.
Where there is no sense there is no
feeling: where there is no honor there
is no shame.
The creature who crawls from his
masters chair to do his dirty bidding
arouses no feeling but contempt not
wholly unmixed with pity.
Honesty hangs its head in his pres
ence; candor is unknown to his tongue;
blackmailers are his companions, and
false dealings are his practice: he
never had a friend whom he did not
deceive, or a cause which he did not
betray; there is nothing too low for
him to do, nor too shameful for him
to advocate, and his sex alone prevents
him from being prostitute in fact as
he is in instinct and desire.
1t is not in him to forgive a failure
or to admire a success, and the char
ity that can be conceded to Others
must be withheld from this libel upon
our common humanity.

We are in receipt of pamphlet edition
Of an Act to Prevent the Manufacture or
Sale of Adulterated Food or Drugs in the
District of Columbia, drawn by Senator
Faulkner last session. He not only intro
duced this important measure last session
and got it through Congress and had it APP
proved by the President, but it has now
been put into practical operation by Inter
nal Revenue Commissioner Miller. 1t is
the first general law on the subject ever
passed BY Congress II IS a law of special
importance, and Senator Faulkner deserves
commentator as the Father Of it, and es-
pecial credit for securing its passage and
practical operation so promptly. 1t is a
rare thing-indeed an exceptional thing
for Senator in his first session to draw and
secure the passage of a general law of such
importance. And this is but one of many
acts in behalf of the public accomplished
by Senator Faulkner during his brief occu-
pancy of a seat in the Senate, and foreshad-
ows other measure the outcome of ability,
industry, perseverance and attention to
business-the constituent factors, the make
up of our young Senator. He is taking
hold of the Senatorship as he did of the
Judgeship-and will be the peer of the
best, aud evoke the admiration of all men
who have within them the inclination to
render unto Caesar the things that are
Caesars" We may take occasion soon to
call attention to some of the measures in
troduced and successfully advocated by
Senator Faulkner in behalf of his State
and of the general public, and of meritori-
Gus individuals, all of which indicate vigi-
lance, industry, and all the essential repre-
sentative qualifications.
