POSTMASTER GENERAL Wan,

!. POSTMASTER GENERAL Wana-
maker hiss carefully avoided the
subject of politics while talking to
reporters or others since the elec
ton. However at the Bethany
Sunday school at Philadelphia,
of which he is superintendent,
he is reported to have uttered
these words: The strife between
Gods. people and. His enemies is
like that between the two great
political parties-a continual and
ceaseless wrangle. On the one
side are the righteous, on the
other the unrighteous, There is
no third SIDE. We must choose
one or the other. Indifference is
! fatal. Every man stands eithe,
with or against God.n The New
/ York World regrets exceedingly
that the postmaster general did
not designate which party held
all the righteous

AMONG the measures that should
receive the prompt attention of
the Benton county delegation
when the legislature convenes,, is
the fish law. Yaquina bay fisher
men are compelled to stop work
at least two weeks before the sal
mon quit running, under the pro-
visions of the present fish law,
and as the season is two weeks
later than on the Columbia, it
works serious hardship on the
bay fisherman. and the most profit
able part of the season. Again
the circuit court business Of Ben
ton county justifies at least three
terms annually, and no doubt 1t is
the same with Lane and Douglas
counties. With only two terms
of court during the year and
lengthy calendars, liligants are
subjected to unnecessary delay,
no matter Low the presiding judge
may expedite business OH the
bench. Benton county, too. is
deeply interested in road legisla-
ton, as no county in the state
more feels the need of better
roads.

The weekly papers of the coun
try are honest. They are educa-
tors because they tell the truth.
There is no gold pouring into their
Golfers. We doubt if it would
materially change their expression
if there was. The editors of these
papers live near to the people.
They know their readers and their
readers know them. They are in
touch with the community for
which they write and are therefor
honest in their utterances. Many
men, to whom 'ssharpness" is the
one great attribute, despise the
country press, believing it power
less-of no influence or force. La
this their own sharpness 'so'er-
leaps its saddle and falls on the
other side.o The newspapers pub
lished in the towns and hanilets of
America are a greater force for
good to day than the blanket dai-
lies of the large cities. Why2 Be-
cause they have the confidence of
their readers, they print what they
believe, and their readers believe
what is printed.-Ex.

The Oregonian in commenting
on the recent annual report of the
secretary of war says: He favors
the immediate reorganization of
of the infantry and artillery on
the three battalion plan. a forma-
ton now adopted by European
armies and deemed the best un-
der the new development of fight
ing through the introduction of
the magazine rifle. At the last
session the senate. passed a bill to
reorganize the infantry and artiI-
lery, and as it does not increase
the salary LIST, there should be lit
tie difficulty in getting it through
the house. Ills recommendation
that the annual militia appropria-
ton be increased from $500, 600 to
81, 100000 is also a good one.
The state OF Oregon especially
needs and deserves more aid from
'-the general government in mann
tanning her militia. We have not
had the benefit of a dollar for tie
last Is years.
