HIS PROTOTYPE IN ASTORIA.

Ne were both amused and disEustcd
few days since at reading in weekly
newspaper published in Il small town Il
vigorous protest hy "Old Settler" to
measure, proposed to secure tire pro-
lection for the village. Some men are
50 afraid that they may have 10 part
with dollar that may possibly do
some good to other, besides themselves
that they would sooncr Se2 the whole
community in hopeless stagnatiou than
lend helping hand TO progress, The
blind selii~hne,s OF such narrow mind
cd cgoti,ts is pitiablc, and would be
cunical were il not so mean. II seems
almost incredible that man in his
right senses can refuse to aid good
cause on the ground that the returns
of il may directly benefit his neighbor
slightly more than himself, Civilization
depends upon mutual hclpfumcss; no
nun can live for himself alone. Prob.
ably every community of any size has
u representative or two of the close
dstcd, penny wise aud pound foolish,
selfish Jealous, hateful suspicious aud
useless type; but the community that
progresses, aud where all share in the
benefits of progress. is the one where
the public spirited elemelt predomi'
mates; where n thing is done for the
good of all, in confidence uphampered
by the basa fear that a public improve
ment will benefit one more than an
other Il is a pity, but II seems true
that some persons are in such state
of lopsided mental and moral, develop
mcut that rather than have their
ncighbors derive more than themselves
from bcttercd conditions, they would
prefer the continuing evil of conditions
that ought to be hetered Such men
need education along the lines of com.

Against Cowardly Politics as Used to

From an article in the Sunday Salem
Statesman the following is taken
"A scmmlous article having appeared
in the Cowlitz County tWashl, Advo-
cate recently, rejecting on the admins
tration OF the present state printer OF
Oregon, has been reprinted in circular
form and is being circulated among the
Republicans of this State, intimating
that the emoluments of this office are
being divided between few political
'highhinders' as consideration for their
efforts in nominating the present in,
cumbent four years ago. The writer
Knows this to be untrue
This attack is, no doubt, inspired by
an interested party who at that time
was prominent candidate for the
Office and defeated, but, as matter of

"The emoIuments of the state print
cry have always been grossly exag-
gerated, and especially BY those who
are unfamiliar with the subject, looking
only to the appropriations made as a
whole, and never once considering the
cost Of producing the printing.
ANY one elected to the office Of state
printer will perform the duties Of that
office just as his predecessors have
done no more no less. The fees paid
the state printer are regulated by
statute, and he is powerless to change
them The governor appoints an expert
to measure the work and fix the prices
thereon conformable TO law, and he
alone performs that duty without any
aid or suggestions from the state
printer, -Four years ago Governor
Chamberlain appointed to the position

crat and secretary Of the Oregon Press

gentleman Of unquestioned integrity

"A few years since the State oi
Washington operated under about the

dissatisfaction existed among the peo

existed for very short time under

time to the different departments sus.
tanned, when the clamor for patronage
became so great that a scandal ensued
during the last session of the legislative
