The public are interested more
deeply than at first appears in the
controversy over the state treasury
Public officials are the servants Of the
people, not their masters. ALI place:
in the public service are to be open tt
all citizens on equal terms. These
two fundamental principles of a Re
publican form Of government have
been so constantly shame-facedIy dis
regarded by many public officials that
the people themselves have lost sight
of them. Nowhere have these princi'
Piles been trampled underfoot so COM
pletely and persistently in Oregon as
in the conduct of the state treasury.
The requests of the press for informa-
tion as to the condition of the treas
ury are uniformly met with; we dc
not consider it prudent to give such
things to the public. rhe semi-an-
uual report is kept secret and trans
mitted to the secretary of state and
governor with injunctions under no
circumstances to make the condition
of the treasury public. And it is
done. In no other state of the union
is such suppression of public affairs
tolerated by the public or practiced
by officials,
We do not charge dishonesty upon
these officials, but we declare that the
public have right to know the con-
dition of the treasury. The law that
gives the treasurer $500 year and a
percentage on all the money he han
dies, and,glves his assistant $1,000 a
year, also requires bonds. But the
treasury might be insolvent today for
half million and the people could
whistle. Not a dollar could be coll
lected from the treasurer, his bonds
men or those who have the public
funds, mo matter whatsoever they
may be, any more than anything can
be collected from the Comercial

woven about the lives and time Of the
famous group Of literary men, artists,
actors. ana other that Boswell has
told Of with such minute detail in
his biography OF Johnson. The story
opens with a dinner.rarty where are
assembled most congenial company,
Including the great doctor himself,
Goldsmith, Edmund Burke, Sir Joshua
Reynolds, David Garrick. and Mr..
James Boswell.
The dialogue is lively with charac-
teristic speeches: Johnson's weighty
sentences and sarcasm, Goldsmith's s
vanity aud genial humOr, Garrick's
wit and mimicry, Boswell's toadyism.
The story is a vivid reproduction in
dramatic form Of the social, literary,
and artistic life of the times as re-
fiected in the doings Of these famous
men and their acquaintances. The
literary and theatrical life of the day,
is suggested with an evident thorough
knowledge of the period. The strong
friendship existing between DR.. John
son and the imprudent but gifted
Goldsmith is made a most attractive
element in the story, and the touching
love episode in which Goldsmith Is
made to play the part of hero is grace
fully and charmingly effective. The
novel is written with evident sympa-
thy and appreciation. One for the
time is made to feel that he is adj
mitted to one of the inner circles of
favorite period

There are cases where property is
of such nature that a receivershlI
is the only practical means of conduct.
ing its management or protecting its
Interests. But the recelvership process
has been subjected to abuses that are
notorious.
1t is noticed that at Tacoma, where
they have have had great many re-
ceiverships, Judge Williamson, of the
superior court, has refused an exparte
motion on behalf of the Northwestern
Trust Company for receiver for the
property of Samuel Wilkeson, includ-
ing brick block corner Tenth and A
streets, brick blocks on Pacific avenue,
and Mr.. Wilkeson's residence prop
erty.
Judge Williamson, said he did not
believe it public policy or just, because
a man was financially embarrassed, to
take his property out of his hands
when it affected an honest, capable
and conscientious man. He said the
history of Tacoma and alse of the
courts has smacked too much of re-
ceivers within the last four years.
Creditors, he said, could pursue the
ordinary course at law or in equity be-
fore loading property with expenses
of a receivership.

Mexico and Finance.

EDITOR JoURNAL:-Judging from
what we read IN the Oregonian, both
editorially and copied articles from
other papers, one is almost persuaded
that Mexico is paying out immense
sums of her deprecated currency to
those papers to mourn her i'll fate.
Those having the control of the pa
pers interested in the gold standard
are looking after the welfare, not
only of their own country, but that Of
Others, and when they succeed in their
establishing the gold standard their
mission Of humanity ends.
AT present these papers are very
vehement in their solicitations for
the welfare of Mexico that they are
advising her to sell her tool of COM
merce for old junk and rent an Eng
lish tool at high rate, in other words
you throw away your tools which haye
served you many years and rent my
tools for have ceased to employ them
myself and as 1 must live 1 must find
for my tools.

kindred concern that has been going
through the sweating and lOoting pro-
cess at the hands OF the gentlemen in
whose hands their evil fortunes have
fallen. We do not say this to be
offensive personally to these gentle
men, but to warn the public Of a pre-
carious condition Of affairs lin which
the public haYe no protection what
ever and may be subject to great loss.
The underlying principle involved
is the disregard of the rights of
the private citizen by the public Off
cial, The assumption of such that
they they are above the people, that
they have a right to compete with
the private citizen in his efforts to
gain livelihood, that the officials
family has a right to all the places in
the public service that they can be
crowed into, is in violation of law and
the spirit of American institutions.
We may not secure the recognition Of
these principles in every department
of government. But the public oflic-
ial who opposes these principles or
sneers at them has before him only
the OBLIVION he deserves.

The figures printed showing the
relative cost Of government in Marion
and Linn counties has not even been
noticed by the authorities. or course
they would not defend it. But the in
crease OF taxes ought to bring it to
the mind of those who have property.
Look at your tax receipt for last year
and this: little Sl20O home that
last year paid $lI.S0 tax, this
year pays Sl5.64. The raise is not
from increased valuation, or increased
rent, 1t is increased levy. The SELL
Ing out Of the Republican party to
the A. p. A. organization made it
necessary to give the leaders of that
movement large grabs out of the
county treasury, whether they got
into Office or not. 1t was costly ex-
pertinent and ought not to be con-
tinued A political party has enough
to contend with when it copes with
the rapaclty of its own leaders. When
IL must satiate the organized appetite
OF machine within the machine the
burden becomes iHtolerable. The
Republicans should have learned the
lesson by this time. II they haYe not,
possibly the voter who pays the double
bill of taxes win conduct the next
step In their education.

READING, Pa, Sept. 1.-The state
Demo Ccratic convention LIet in this
city, and nominated Walter e. Rlt.
ter, of Lycoming county, for auditor
general, and M. e. Brown, of Blairs-
vile, for state treasurer. The mat
ter of the selection of candidates was
entirely overshadowed by the fight to
force the retirement Of Mr.. Harrity y
from the national committee. The
opponents Of Mr.. Harrity succeeded
in pushing through by vote of 300 to
134, a resolution iDdorsing James M.
Cuffe for his position. Mr. Harrity's S
friends contend that the state con-
yention has no power to declare his
seat in the national committee va
cant, and that he will not surrender
without fight.
