social cultivation not one great dis
covery can be traced to them. Their
edicts and epistles bear the stamp Of
emptiness and IL followed would lead
to the utter Generalization of the hui
man race.
Many bright useful man has been
ruined by over education. A man may
be hampered by under education, but
his brain remains sound. 1t is differ
ert however with the college worm
who gets in a rut and from his little
path attempts to survey the whole
world.
His sphere of observation is too
limited and his position too obscure
to become a leader bGt the poor ignora-
mus is in the dark and fails to get mis-
proper bearings Because the world
gieets him with a chilly reception he
thinks humanity is declining, and he
passes out and away from the vision.
But the old world moves along at
about the same speed and the COM
mon every day sort of people continue
to do things tending to advance the
mental, moral and material conditions.

FOUGHT FoR THE LUMBER RATES

FOOGhI FOX The LUMBER RA ES
The Hartman syndicate undertook
to put prohibitlve freight rate on
Western Oregon sawmills. 1t went
into effect in January.
The Salem Commercial Club was
the first body to lead off and fight that
unjust advance in freight rates.
j. G, Graham, as secretary, sent cut
and got hundreds of letters from ship
pers in this county and all over West
ern Oregon.
Those letters showed that car short
age and advance in freight rates would
work an incalculable injury to our i'm
dustries.
Secretary Graham worked away like
beaver to compile these facts, and
place the condition of things before
the railroad managers.
This was done in courteous and
firm and gentlemanly business array
of facts, and without threats or bus
ter, and proved effective.
The highest railroad officials at San
Francisco and Chicago were asked to
investigate, and provide the proper
remedy.
General Traffic Manager Stubbs
came TO Western Oregon, and found
conditions as they had been reported
to Secretary Graham.
The result was restoration of the
old freight rates, under which saw
mills and other industries can live,
]. C, Graham proved that he was
right, and as practical shipper and
warehow'e man he is the right kind Of
a man to send TO the legislature.

NOT HoNoRs, BUT WORK.

This Is not a time for Republicans
to spar about honors, but for each de-
voted friend to get In and work.
The registration law is a terrible
drawback in this campaign, and an
unusual effort will have to be made
TO get out the vote.

dueed vote.

committeeman in each precinct to form
local committee Of workers, and
make up a list Of voters.
After getting an alphabetical list Of
every voter In the ward or precinct,
check them over and see If they are
registered.
II not call on them and explain what
is necessary to get to vote on the 9th
Of June, and furnish them freehold.
er's blank.
Then have the committee see that
every voter Is at the polls on elec-
ton day. This is the only kind of
work that counts.
BE sure to get out the largest pos
sible vote for Judge Moore, for SUI
preme judge, and 6inger Hermann for
congress, and for the whole ticket.
This is not a torohIlght or speaking
campaign, but campaign in which
good government in county, state and
nation are at stake, and must be saved
by civic patriotism.
