Politics-cheap. rascally, unblush-

chasable polltics-these are to blame
for the soiled togas. the soiled hands.
the soiled souls. the blemished repu-
tations and the unspeakable disgrace
of the senate of late years.
Let the people elect their United
states senators, let the people nomi-
nate by the direct primary law. their
candidates. and no further disgraces
will follow Keep the senatorial
fights out of the legislatures, make
the august senate body too sacred
to be entrusted to the intriguing ma

Of the corporations.

Look well to the toga.

Both Oregon and Washington are
now striving for better assessment
laws. The legislatures of both states
are now discussing means of reach
ing more property. uncovering hid
den wealth and placing invisible prop
critics on the assessment rolls.
Through poor assessment laws all
states lose more or less money, and
visible property is made TO bear an
unjust burden. Oregon's Legislature
should follow the suggestion of Gov
ernor Chamberlain and pass law
assessing franchises and unseen and
intangible classes Of property. The
most valuable class of property is
that kind which is not visible-the
privileges and franchises of the large
Industries and the private income
and dividends from large corporate
interests The visible farm, livestock,
merchandise and improvements on
real estate must bear the burdens
shirked by the invisible classes oi
property. Oregon assessors will meet
in Portland on Monday, January %
and it is hoped that some compre'
hensive law is suggested for the CON
sideration of the Legislative session
The members all seem to be in {
receptive mood. and the recommends
ton of the assessors will not be il
vain. perhaps.

Awakening Of the Peo-
pIes of the Orient

The Increase of the foreign trade oi
CHINA has been marked In recent
,,aors and In the opinion OF the Rev
M, Arthur !. Brown of the Presby-
terian Board Of Foreign Missions is
likely to play an important part III
changing the attitude OF the Chinese
toward the Western peoples.
DIR. Brown made careful study oil
rbe subject during his recent trip
around the world, and talks interest
inely of the Chinese foreign trade ana
of the part enjoyed In II by the Unit
ed States. Year by year he says TINS
foreign trade has increased, with the
sxcention of the time OF the Boxer
outbreak.
In 1899 the total foreign trade had
renched 400. 1000, 000 taels Ca Halk-
wan tael equals SO cents in American
currency. In 1900, Boxer year II
dropped TO 37O,OOO,O 900 taels, but the
following year it sprang to 43S,OOO'ooo
taels, and in the two following years
3 II advanced 100, 600. 600 taels.
American Trade Growing.
The share of the United states In
/ this business is larger than al nrst
annears because no incOnsiderable
mart of our trade goes TO China by
way of England and Hongkong ana Is
credited to British totals. But Amer
lean trade with China has vastly in
creased since 1900. We now sell the
Chinese more cotton goods than all
other countries combined, and our
sales of Kerosene oil and flour have
also Increased greatly in the past few
wears. There is corresponding in
crease along other lines also. The
utility of the American locomotive mas
led to large sales in China, and from
the enormous forests bordering the
Pacific ocean in the state of oregon
land washington. great quantities OF
lumber are annually exported to East
ern Asia. which is too densely popu-
lated to have large forests.
Imports to the United States from
China are somewhat larger than eN-
norts silk and tea are principal
items in TINS tfdut, bllnuubh S'"N
skins. wool and mating also amount
to large sums annually. The United
states is now the third nation in trade
relations with China. This is the more
remarkable when we consider the
statement Of the late Mr.. Everett
Frazer of the American Asiatic Asso-
citation that in January, 1901. there
were only four American business
firms in all China Or. Brown deduces
from his study Of Chinese conditions
that when American business men es'
tablish their own houses In china, in
stead of dealing as now through Euro
pean and Chinese firms II is not un'
reasonable To expect that the United
States will outstrip its larger rivals

The Enosburgh Standard protests
against the general street sale Of photo
graphs Of the dead burglar, who was
shot in Sheldon while in the act OF
robbing store, and the contemporary
stand is well taken. This picture, as we
understand ii, was one taken OF the
dead man by the police for identifca-
ton purposes. 1t served its purpose,
in that the burglar was identified by
metropolitan police as a man OF notori-
Gus reputation. The use of the photo
graph should have stopped there. But
the photograph, or its negative, was al
lowed to drift into the hands Of some
person who has turned it to a com
mercial Use and doubtless to his financial
gain. The picture Of aSheldon's dead
burglar Is now being hawked about
the streets Of the northern towns like
so much soap The Standard says; i
the town officials Or police officers has
no authority in the matter, reason
able and becoming sense Of delicacy ans
propriety should have operated to pre-
vent such traffic.

PURE MILK SUPPLIES.

In the special report made to the
Burlington city council by N. M. Baker,
relating to the solution Of Burlington's
city water problem, the expert makes
reference to one other problem, and that
lis the purity Of the milk supply. 1t
is also problem which all municipalities
must deal with sooner or later. Hereto
fore it has been thought sufficient if
the city kept the water supply up to the
standard But latterly a great deal of
attention is in some respects Of even
more consequence than pure water
supply, for infants and small children
are concerned largely with the former.
The expert speaking of conditions in
Burlington says that the death rate
from diarrhoeal diseases and typhoid
fever and the mortality Of children under
five years" is much too large for q city
Of the size and with the natural ad
yantages of Burlington. Mr.. Baker inn
plies that not enough attention is paid
10 the examination Of milk in that city.
As q remedy he advises that rigorous
sanitary control Of the milk supply is
needed along the line Of health. protec-
tive work. This sanitary control would
include the licensing Of all milk dealers,
frequent inspections of their diaries,
daily sterilization of milk bottles, cans
and other articles used in the dairy,
etc. He also recommends, if the plan
is not now in vogue, that every case OF
typhoid be carefully investigated to de-
termine whether it II due to the milk
OF water supply or to some food product.
These recommendations, while meant
for Burlington, are yet Of direct i'm
