ONE SIDED REPORTS.

The report in this issue, of Beers
shooting poor, wounded English
soldiers, is being paraded with enor-
nous headlines of sensational i'm
port, such as ''Boer Inhumaity, by
administration papers anxious to
defend the moral aid and support
given England Gin her cruel and mer-
cenary destruction of the African
Republics) by the government at
Washington contrary to the senti-
ments of nine tenths of the American
people. If this is true report. the
Beers certainly acted in an uncivil-
lied way, no matter what the provo
cation. 1t is more than likely this
was the crazed outburst of resent
ment against British treatment
of Boer prisoners and Boer women.
The administration papers are care
full to suppress all reports of British
barbarism and British bestiality in
Africa, because they realize that
fully posted American sentiment
against the Administrations anti
Boer policy would be dangerous to
future party success. "Capitalistic
interests must stand together" is the
sentiment which calls forth moral
aid to England from official circles
in this country and those Journals
that are thrall to the Tory principles
which skulk about in our land. are
ever ready to cover up any features
calculated to arouse public indigDa-
ton at official attitudes and they are
just as eager to parade and even ex-
aggerate any incident which holds a
hope of dissolving pro- Boer senti
ments.

to the smelter subsidy, and will they
respond to future calls? Do the
Chinese pay taxes on machinery to
city and County? The success of
the laundry means a steadily grow
ing payroll already $500 monthly
and pay-rolls are what Weser needs.
1t means the operating of the cream
cry plant, and the opportunity to run
it at half the usual expense 1t
means, IN addition to fuel, the sup
plies of operatives purchased here
With that institution here, none of us
can afford to countenance Chinese
patronage, because that is the ny dra-
head of spirit that threatens the
progress of Weiser. The laundry is
bringing to Weiser business from
other towns east and west, and that
sort OF an enterprise must have the
moral support of every Weiser bust
ness man who asks for patronage
and success himself. The spirit of
home patriotism must become a
watchword and to encourage it should
be the business of every individual.

HIS NATIVE MUSIC.

Whatever any possible Standard
Oil Stockholders or any other influ-
ences may have to say about the f.
nancial sentiments of the Salt Lake
Tribune, there are evidently nc
clamps ordered against Judge Good
wins Fourth of July patriotism and
as the symphonies of his naturally
great soul sounds, unlrammeled,
through his being, ''as some vast
river of unfailing scource, exhaust
less and deep his numbers flow" and
he gives us most rare music; and,
with single discord eliminated, his
pen words come like song from the
stars:
"Our fathers God from out whose
hands The centuries fall like grail OF
sand, has permitted a century and a
quarter TO pass away since the fathers
announced their determination to es-
tabish government on new plan, and
through the upheavas of those slow
revolving years, has decreed that the
great experiment should endure and take
on new splendors with each succeeding
cycle; until now the flag of the republic
has become splendor to the land and
the sea- and the feeble light which the
fathers kindled fills all the world with a
glory indescribabe
A continent buc haap cnanpoI. N n
forests have melted away; where only
the savage man and beast made theil
homes, the day is sanctified by the sing
ing of children in praise; all the barbar.
ism has vanished; the sol has been
dedicated 10 enlightenment and freedom
the chorus which was but feebly chanted
one hundred and twenty-five years age
is sung now by a choir of eighty millions
OF freemen; the great diapason fills with
music the atmosphere of a continent, and

an American ship is sailing today there
are dipping of flags, booming of respon.

hand the railway the SIGNAL solicited
them to take up, and which they
refused to consider, has been con-
structed for a distance of 60 miles,
and, though uncompleted, is already
earning satisfactory profits over
operating expenses. We find them
alarmed over the way in which the
value of their contemp plated operations
is being threatened by the rejected
proposition which is now in actual
existence.

WHY WORRY

Ii necessary 10 keep the Chinese out,
the Chinese door had better be closed
again. We have no right to insist upon
the open door to China on account of
trade, for trade figured down to the bot
tom is mercenary only.
Says the Salt Lake Tribune, indicat-
ing that its editor agrees very closely
with recent expressions in the SIGNAL
respecting the dangers of shooting
the doors of China open in order to
market standard oil, steel rails and
locomotives. But in the next breath
it disputes itself by saying:
But the Chinese empire covers pro-
baby one-twelfth of the entire habit
able world. That empire ought TO be
opened enough by railroads to distribute
more evenly than now the people of that
mighty realm. 1t ought to be opened in
order that the gold and coal mines of
China may be worked, in order to give
the myriads there employment. 1t is
right to insist that China shall put in
modern worlds equipments that she
may support her own people
There can never, by any analysis,
be any motive behind demand that
China shall ''put in modern worlds
equipments" other than the ssmer-
cenary' trade motive as first quoted.
Modern worlds equipments tend to
supplant human labor and if China
is over stocked with people how is
she going to Support" them better
by further reducing the field for
individual muscle. The proposition
to better distribute the $50 mil
lion people now crammed into the
Flowery kingdom is laughable and
suggesting railways for that purpose
reaches no further than the selling
to them of the rolling stock and
material. Perhaps our neighbor
means to "better distribute" them

that? Why not arrange it so that

ditions in other lands. When 2OO,-

work for Carrie Nation. Kansas is a

of it.
There is nothing particularly

cept the fact shown that in the entire

people were able to bank less sum

HOME PATRIOTISM.

A necessary element of the high
est success of any community is a
patriotism for home institutions, adj
herence to faith in local effort, and
loyalty TO home interests always.
This means that whenever q dollar
is to be spent it will be spent at
home il possible. A dollar saved is
a dollar earned, and if Washington
county keeps 5000, 900 worth of
business at home in year we are
$500, 600 ahead. In the past two
years $3.50, 600 has been sent out of
Weiser for Oregon lumber. Could
We have kept that money at home,
what an important item in Weiser's
life it would have been. Heretofore
we were obliged to buy in Oregon
but now we are not A mill capable
Of supplying the present home de-
mand has been established at Coun-
Gil and if home money goes to that
concern it will be paid out again at
home in wages, and thus continue
circulating where we will all have an
opportunity to gaze often on the
same familiar dollars. The quality
of our own product is second to none
obtainable in this market. This

p. H. Scott when he came here
to take charge of the smelter now
being built. He made careful ex-
animation of Oregon lumber and

ers should take pride in having

Another reform that must be made
in the interest of onward progress is
to stand by newly established indus
tries employing white labor, and not
give to commercial outcasts business

builders. This is asserted because of
knowledge that some are still pat
ronizing Chinese laundries in face of
the fact that new steam laundry
has been established here and en-
ploys from ten to twenty honest
white women and girls whose wages
are spent here entirely. We have it
that one or two Weser businessD
houses promised their patronage to
the steam laundry in order to induce
1t to come here, but because the
Chinese have cut prices the promise

dry were to move Chinese rates

paid. Is not white work worth as
much as Monaghan work was before

He talks genlally. occasionally indulging in reminiscence and jest. He goes at his work with zeal and finishes 1t with dispatch. His coat Is less wrlnkled. his trousers more definitely creased. His heart warns to the whole world.
 His return meant much to the senior sehator from Illinois. He is '72 years old. He is said to be poor in this worlds goods-and he never has denied the accusation. He was confronted with the prospect of retirement to civil life, and 10 the necessity of earning a living after more than fifty years of continuous service of the public.
