The promise of good prices for wheat
and cotton this fall has made more
hopeful feeling throughout the country.
Many cotton mills are shut down, Civ
ing as the reason that they cannot get
cotton. The shortage in the wheat crop
abroad is estimated at 225 100000 bush
els, or one tenth of the worlds average
yield. The tobacco crop is not so large
but the prospect for large crop are
excellent If the yield is as large as
present prospects indicate and if the
prices are as good as now promises, the
agricultural sections will become pros
porous in spite of adverse legislation.

The Malheur Gazette and Vale
Advocate are having a warm dis
cussion over the matter of county
printing. The Gazette heretofore
has been allowed by the county
court $3.50 for publishing the finan-
cial statements of the county Off
GERS twice a year, or $50 each time,
which is the statutory legal rate
for such advertising. The Gazette
sensibly says: The law fixes the
maximum price for legal advertis-
ing, and if the lawmakers are will
ling to pay that price, what harm
can there bein charging and getting
that price" In Gillian county
the charge Of the GLOBE (tbe Off
cial paper) for this same work was
only $40, and still our county court
thought it was too much, and are,
we believe in violation of the law,
having the work done by another
paper, that has scarcely any bona
fde subscribers in this county
that is, subscribers who are not
having the paper forced onto them
against their will.

A wise and witty woman once
remarked that there were three
supreme follies of men that always
both puzzled and amused her.
The first was to climb trees to
shake fruit down. when if they
would wait long enough the fruit
would fall down itself. The second
was going to war to kill each other,
when if they would only wait they
would die natural deaths, The
third is that they should run after
women when, if they did not do so,
the women would run after them.

THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF GILLIAN
COUNTY. OREGON.

The Tillamook Headlight, hav-
ing the largest bona fide circula-
ton of any paper in that county,
was, as required by law, designated
the county official paper, in which
all of the county printing must
be published. The county court
of Tillamook county, imagining
they were running the state, re
pealed'' the state law last Janu-
ary and awarded the county print
ing to one of the other county pa
pers, whose bid was the lowest.
The Headlight editor carried the
matter into circuit court to compel
the county court to comply with
the law, and last week won the
case, we are pleased to note. The
circuit judge, in his ruling, said:
"The taxpayers have a right to
know what is done by the men they
elected 10 office, and that is the in
tention of the law in having county
printing done in the paper Of larg-
est circulation, that the greatest
number of people may see what is
being done. 1t is not a question OF
"how cheap" the work can be done,
but 'how well" it can be done at a
reasonable figure"

The success of the United States
in material development is the
most -illustrious of modern time.
The American nation has not only
successfully borne and suppressed
the most gigantic and expensive
war of all history, but Immediately
afterward disbanded its army,
found employment for all its sol
diers and marines, paid off most of
its debt, given labor and homes to
all the unemployed of Europe as
fast as they could arrive within it's
territory, and still by system Of
taxation so indirect as not to be
perceived, much less felt. Because
it is MY deliberate judgment that
the prosperity of America is main
ly due to it's system of protective
laws, / urge that Germany has
reached that point where it is
necessary: to initiate the tariff sys-
tenn Of the United tes.-Bis-

DELUsIoNs OF BlMErALLrsM.

Carl SchuTZ in HdTpers Weekly:
The most characteristic delusion of
the bimetallists is their belief that,
excepting a small number of persons
interested in the gold standard, all
mankind is fairly hungering and
thirsting for the realization of their
scheme. The method by which the
propaganda of bimetallism swells
his roll of adherents is very simple
one. You ask ten persons whom you
happen to meet whether it would not
be nice thing to have some arrange
ment by which silver and gold could
be made safely to circulate together,
thus giving the world, about twice as
much money as it has nOw-and nine
of these persons, not having given the
matter much careful thought, will
probably reply that this would be
nice thing indeed. The propaganda
of bimetallism then promptly registers
them among the firm believers in his
psnacea, and thus puts down major
ity of nine to one. But what will the
nine men reply when asked the far
ther questions, whether they think it
possible, by mere legal enactment or
by International agreement, to raise
the market price of silver-which is
now 65 cents an Ounce-tO Sl.29 an
ounce, so as to make silver money
acceptable &C the ratio of Is to /; or
whether they think that any other
ratio can be agreed upon, and which,
if agreed upon, would bring about a
practicable double standard of values;
or whether they think that any of the
great commercial nations which are
carrying on their business success
fully on the gold standard will be in
clined to abandon that standard to the
end of making so reckless an expert
ment? Confronted by such practical
questions, the majority of nine to one
will instantly evOpOrste. Only some
visionary who hopes against hope
will remain, or some debtor who has
a vague impression that bimetallism
will in some way relieve him of his

THE LEGISLAT

There was great sensation in the
Senate Tuesday when Senators Titus
and Jumper said they had been offer
ed $1,000 apiece to vote against the
stock yards bill. Two POpnlists, one
by the name of Boyd and another
named Tucker, are the ones accused
of the attempted bribery. Boyd has
not yet bean found. Tucker was tried
before the Senate, but nothing was
done except to deny him the priv
leges of the State House hereafter
1t was openly charged that a half
dozen Senators had been bought, and
there will be an investigation. OF
course the immediate result of the ex-
posture was to insure the passage of
the bill. This is about the only bill
of Importance passed this week. The
will probably adjourn
next week and the REGISTER will
then give a complete summary of the
work done.

They used to call it "Magic Lam
tern SHOW" Now it is "Grand
Stereepticon Exhibition" But it
draws the crowds just the same. The
Opera House was packed last Sunday
night, to see the illustrated lecture on
the Life of Christ by Rev. U. G. Rob
insOn, and scores of people went away
unable even to find standing room.
The pictures were fine, and the lam
tern was a good one. Probably four
times as many people as would have
attended all the churches had they
held their regular services came out
to see this show. Maybe it would be
a good thing for the churches to invest
in some stereopticOns and advertise
an entire new set of pictures each
Sunday night.
The Vszie Brothers were down from
Carlyle the first of the week and
placed an order with Northrups for
four car loads of lumber to be used in
the erection of monster big stock
and hay barn which they are going
to build this spring. The Vezies are
not only energetic and successful
farmers, but they are close figurers,
and it is safe to say that they did not
order so large quantity of lumber
without getting the very best terms
and prices obtainable. So the fact
that they ordered their material from
Northrup's Lumber Yard is as good
evidence as could be given of the
liberality with which that Yard is
managed, and the close margins it is
making.
There are a lot of people in this
county who are going to go broke, or
who will be at least severely bent, on
the Standard Kitchen Cabinet. Not
because the Cabinet is not all it is
claimed to be, for it is. We have had
one in our house for several weeks,
and it is a good investment. But be-
cause there are lots of men who cannot
sell even a good thing. The men who
introduced the cabinet here were
smooth as silk. They sold a carload
of the things in few weeks. But
they knew the business. They were
trained experts. We are afraid that
some of our good people who have
mOrtgaged their farms to buy "terTi-
tory" have made the mistake of sup
posing that "all men are born equal"
and that one can sell things as well
as another. But he can't. 1t takes
a mighty talented man to sell things,
especially patented things that people
are naturally afraid of and prejudiced
against.
