growls, while the giver thereof
commits the theft.
To withhold taxes due is in
ethics as much stealing from the
public treasury as it is to take out
Of the treasury taxes already paid
in. To corrupt a public official
bv brides debauches the official,
degrades the briber and wrongs
the State. 1t is three-fold
crime. The man gui ty OF 1t is
traitorous to free institutions, tor
grating and jobbe'y threaten the
permanency Of such institutions.
Public thought is aroused to the
evil and danger Of grating and we
hear much Just condemnation OF
corrupt politicians. But the bus
mess interests which do the cor
rupting work seem able to keep
on the concealing cloak of pretend
ed responsibility. 1t is, nevefthe-
less, fact that politicians become
corrupt at the points where politi-
cal action touches business inter
ests. This is because business
men are prone to think it smart
and safe, if not legitimate, for them
to bride politicians and public Of
hcials whenever their business in
terests may be benefited at the ex-
pense Of the public welfare.
To remedy this state Of affairs,
public opinion must pull the cloak
Of respectability from the shoulders
of the bribe-givers Bribe-giving
is corrupt, criminal, disgraceiul
and dishonorable. When a bribe-
giver is found out he should be
put in the stocks of public scorn
alongside of the miserable creature
whom he has corrupted.
The intimation which has been
given by the newspapers that our
State administration will protect
from criminal prosecution all who
may come forward with evidence
that they have bribed Auditor
agents in back tax suits may be
thought necessary to secure need
ed evidence; but it would be a
greater public service to bring
bribe-givers to the bar OF justice
and thus teach them that to give
bride is as hateful in the eyes o
the law as to receive one. Lex

THE EYES OF THE GOOD.

Good people see good all around
them; the evil minded find evil
every where: GAS we grow
purer within the world grows more
beautiful without. To the good
this world is not going to the bad,
they have confidence in all that is
humane and strive to conform man
in all that he is to what is good,
pure and noble.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1905-08-16
SHOULD THE BRIBE CIV
ERS ESCAPE PUBLIC
CONDEMNATION.

In A recent editorial The Herald
expressed an opinion that the tax
dodger who brides is as guilty as
the official who yields to the
bride. The bribe-taker is always
a weak and unworthy creature who
is fairly entitled to all the con-
demnation and contempt which
come his way when he is found
out. Trusted with public place.
he proves too weak and selfish and
criminal to protect his trust. 1t
is not necessary for our present
purpose 70 say more
But we think something should
be said to arouse public sentiment
to the distinctly criminal and ag-
gressively wicked quality OF the
bribe-giver's ohense.
We do not undertake to say
that any bride was either given or
taken in the back tax suits which
have lately been under public dis
cussion. We prefer to withhold
judgment until both sides have
been fully heard. But we say
now that if any brides have been
given the men who gave the brides
are among the criminals in the
transactions.
1t is worse than silly to say that
a rascal who brbes public official
is an innocent and virtuous bust
ness man who has been done out
of honest money by wicked,
grating pc litician. There is moth
ing innocent or virtuous about a
bribe-giver He is the thief who
is piI'ering the public treasury.

ihe greedy watchdog to quiet his

The office of Justice of the Peace

The office Of Justice of the Peace
is very important one, requiring
capable. sober, discreet, honest
men to administer its duties, men
who have been successful in their
private business. The popular
opinion that any kind OF man can
serve as Justice of Peace is erron-
eous. Every county should have
the best.

A water famine for Willamette val
ley would be quite as unusual as an
ice flow in Death valley, yet old tim
ers opine that this condition is one Of
the probabilities at present.
According to river men, the McKen'
zie river is lower at the present time
that during the dry period Of late au-
tumn last season, which is bad indi-
cation, as this stream receives its
source from the snow clad slopes Of
the Cascades.
II is matter Of general knowledge
that there was scant snow fall in the
mountains during the winter season.
Coupled with this disquieting fact
comes the information that city wells
which ordinarily are eopious in supply
are already beginning to fall. This is
an unusual and most extraordinary
condition for midsummer Eugene

CROP AND

REPORT

season, and no rain of consequence oc
curred in any part of the state. Fortu.
nately the wind was generally light
and the wheat crop suffered but lit.
tie damage In the Grand Ronde valley
and in some of the Columbia river
counties east Of the Cascade mountains
late sown spring wheat was damaged
by the hot weather, and will probably
be cut for hay. The bulk Of the crop
! however, is safe, and both spring and
fall wheat are now being cut as rapid
ly as possible. Threshing will begin
in the Willamette valley this week. All
indications point to an extra good crop
Of wheat, both as to quantity and quail
fly.
Pasturage is getting short, but stock
continues in good condition. The flow
Of milk is decreasing in the dairy dis
tricts, but not more than usual at this
season Of the year The second crop
Of alfalfa is being cut, and the crop
promises to be about an average one.
Hop burs are forming and the vines
are growing nicely. Hop lice are stiIl
to be found, but they are less numerous
than formerly. Corn, potatoes aud
gardens have made good advancement,
but these crops would be improved by
more rain. Early apples are ripe.
