THE WRITTEN WORD.


Many man has gone down to dis
grace, defeat, and other phases of
personal humiliation. because of
some written word Of his that is
dragged 10 light at the inauspicious
moment; it is one of the inauspicious
that follow the writer of reckless
things, wicked things, unwholesome
things, and lies.
The law itself makes the written
word the paramount testimony of its
courts; il is the substantial principle
Of contracts and agreements; it is the
basis for all last conclusions of fact
and it is the cardinal theorem for de-
termining character, and the relation
one bears to grave issues that arise
for the scrunity of society; it is the
one damning bit of evidence that
cannot be CLOSED nor denied, (as-
sunling always, Of course, that the
fool who writes lends his signature
10 the black-and-white exposition).
And yet men and women go on
writing the most glaring, incriminat-
ng and compromising things, day
after day, without once taking into
the peril they are
weaving about their lives and homes
Ind businesses. 1t is remarkable how
blind the majority of people are to
his 'short-arm' evil that is liable at
my time to jolt them out of their
ecure place in society and com
nerce and lay them by the roadside
# life an object for the jeers of those |
Who write with circumspection or
Who write not at all.
"A little education is a dangerous
hing, and nothing so perilous as
hat scanty knowlyedge of writing |
which lures men and women to in !
mite trouble The art of writing is
ummed in the discretion that care
ully prescribes what shall be written
nd where it shall stop. Few indeed
re they who know these things.

KEEP 1T IN MINDi

By the sheer virtue Of the reserved
power Of the popular recall, the
City Of Los Angeles has forced a
man from Office, the highest Office in
its power to confer; compelled his
resignation before the grinding touch
of the civic expedient was applied at
all; and the press Of the city is the
agency that brought it about This
Is worth thinking about everywhere
the political faculty Of the recall ex-
lists. Oregon has ii, and hopes never
to use it; but having it, it were well to
remember it and talk Of it, and create
the sentiment of its efficacy not only
in the minds of the men who have
been put in places Of authority and
trust, but in the minds Of the cleo
tors as well 1t has its bearing on
all hands, and the concerted consid-
Grafton Of the rule viii have tend
ency to strike balance between the
ofice-holder and the people he is
serving, that viii preserve the public
from many loss and many shame
and nerve the servant to turn down
the temptations that may beset him
from time to time.
Harper, the Mayor whom Los
Angeles has just forced from Office
owing to his vicious character as Of
6cer and citizen, is one Of the first
(if not the frst) cases on the Pacific
records in this relation, and it will
make deep impression all over the
coast. This man not only permitted
the establishment, and existance, of
unrestrained vice Of all sorts in his
city; but INDUCED them personally,
until his name became stencil in
the nostrils of his people. Every |
argument that friend and neighbor |
could present in private to ward him
from the course Of evil was used |
without effect, and at last the recall |
was invoked, and with it was the
provision for the election of clean
man to succeed him, at the same
polls. Knowing that he was fore
doomed this man takes the chance
that is given him to resign thinking
he will avoid the blasting disgrace
Of popular custer at the polls; but.
the people do not see it that way; he
is to figure still at the election called
to pass upon him and his record, and
he is up against his own admission
of turpitude as evidenced by his res
ignation, as we'll as the fat express
sion Of the people against him; saw
ing only, that the final majority in
favor Of his recall may be ightened
by the voluntary step he has taken.
1t is a clear and justifable instance
of the operation of this new ele-
ment in civic administration.
Remember that every political divi-
sion of Oregon possesses this extra
ordinary advantage, and may use it
whensoeyer it gets ready and has
cause In time it may prove the
very salvation of the State; let alone
the infinite good it may do in the
lesser communities, /
