"LUCKY BALDWIN,"

e. j. Baldwin, the multtmulionaire, died on his farm near Los
Angeles last Monday morning, He was past so years of age and he
had been lowering in the shadows for a month. He was a strong man
physically and mentally, and most of his luck came through his sa-
gacity. Educated, he would have made a general. He might have
made lucky ventures in mines, but the man who can rear, train and
run blooded horses with success, must possess in a marked degree the
qualities which successfully command armies or business ventures.
His faults were due mostly to want OF training in a high class school
at first and later in any high class business. He was never disciplined
in his youth, he never would submit to any discipline later in life.
Then he never had any fine sensibiliues. What he wanted he got, If
be could, and was not particular about the means he employed, and
did not care a rap for public opinion when in pursuit of any object of
his desire.
Then while he made no ostentatious display Of his great wealth,
he had a feeling that he had so much money that he could buy his
way, and did not need to consider whether he pleased the public or
not. He came un with no special moral forces to restrain him, and
the manner OF his life had a tendency to make him conclude that this
life was only a game, the stakes being for the best players. The last
years of his life he devoted mostly to his horses. They were his
brothers. and he had a brothers affection and solctude for them,
and that when they won a hardfought race, they did their best just
to please him, Perhaps the greatest sorrow that he ever exhibited
was when last year, his finest equine died. He declared that he was
the grandest, greatest horse on all this round world.
Lucky Baldwin had plenty of courage. There was nothing of
the hypocrite about him; he did not pretend to be a bit better than

THE UNEMPLOYED

Mr.. Gompers says there are 100000 men OF the labor UNION
who were employed two years ago, who are now walking me rec
W. think that is a mistake. We think quite half that number went

government and every state government, for enforced ldleness IS Inc

The government of course is only expected tic clea Tucto

CONGRESSMAN MCCALL ON MR.. ROOSEVELT

In declining a call to the presidency of Dartmouth college Con-
gresham Mccall aired his own egotism while denouncing ex-Pres-
dent Roosevelt. He declined to go to college work because he
thought he was more needed in the national movement toward san
iy and safety. He hopes to see the day when the caprices of an
autocrat would not take the place of constitutional consraint. And
he made the stab palmer when he expressed the fear that some
chance barbarian IS an autocrat might oyerturn our temples and do
more harm in the direction of uncivilizing the country than all our
colleges together could possibly repair"
The egoism of the Boston congressman is but a single indica-
tin of the calumny that befals each American president as his sue
cessor is elected. He is respected, even feared, up to the day of cleo
tion, but when that is passed all feel free to turn against him. Con-
gresham Mccall and a score more have been trying to put Mr..
Roosevelt in a hole ever since the session of congress just ended
was begun. They accomplished but little. None of them, however,
displayed so much egotism as the Massachusetts congressman.
As a cold matter of fact Mr.. McCals chance autocrat goes out
of Office with a larger following than any of his predecessors ever
enjoyed, not excepting Andrew Jackson. Mr.. Mccall should tone
done his own estimate of himself.

DELIVER THE GOODS

If a member of your family died, would you print the resolutions
on a billboard?
If your wife entertained, would you send an account of it to the
theater program man?
If you were going to enlarge your business would you advertise
in a hotel register?
If you were going to have a wedding in your family would you
get out a handbll?
You would send such items to a newspaper, wouldn't you?
Then why don't you put your advertisements in a newspaper?
Every man who uses the billboard is adding to nature taking
Every dollar spent in a theater program, in a register, in a di-
rectory, is a legitimate dollar taken away from the newspapers of
your town.
The newspapers build your town; why not help build up the
newspapers. There is no better advertisement in the world for a
town than a good newspaper. A newspaper is the barometer OF the
towns industry. Show us a good newspaper, full of advertising,
and we will show you a good town. full Of live merchants.
Bllboards are an eyesore; theater programs are worthless; hotel
registers, from an advertising standpoint, are ridiculous.
Newspapers are town builders, town advertisers, fortune-makers,
news desseminators, sermon-delverers, OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
are a necessity, not a luxury; they mpst be maintained. Without
them we would rerograde to the medieval days.
Don't patronize them from a charitable standpoint patronize
them because they deliver the goods-that is, if they are the right
kind.
Cut out the foolishness and work for the upbuilding of your
town and state by upbuilding your newspapers-Brains.

No Danger of Oversupply.

President Newell of the State
Board of Horticulture on his return
from a recent eastern trip says the
Oregon apple growers have nothing
to fear from the danger of over pro-
duction. He thinks the industry is
not likely to be overdone, as the de-
mand for Oregon fruit now exceeds
the supply and this will continue for
many years to come. Mr.. Newell
says that Oregon apples are well
known in the east and they are re-
garded as possessing the finest quail
ties Of any in the market. The sup
eriority consists in color, flavor and
keeping qualities.

A Simple Life Colony.

There is colony started near
Vancouver, Wash, for those VINO De-
lieye in the simple life principles
This proposed colony is headed by
Dr Rudolph j. Hoague, the ex-
moment of the doctrine upon whlch
the colony organization is founded
He is also the author of the book
How to Live One Hunderd Years
The tenets of DR.. Hoague's cult
embrace simplicity of religious pe-
lief and mode of living. The worship
of God as the Creative Being alone
will constitute the creed, while an ut
ter disregard of modern convention
alities in food and garb will form
the condition under which he claims
ripe old age for his followers.
Among other rules laid down FOR
the ascetic life of his colony will be
vegetarianism, early rising, going to
bed at sundown, and the discarding
of hats, sleeves, corsets and collars
Given names only will be used, and
instances where plurality of names
exists, the owners will be distinguish
ed by numbers appended. Each mem
Der will be allotted a task, and the
earnings of all will go into join
fund. Marriage of widows ant
widowers will be prohibited.
The diet of the simple life follow
ers will be of the simplest, consistin:
of nuts, fruits, potatoes, rye bread
milk, water and honey. One of tn
, cardinal principles of the enthusias
tic founder is Don't worry; be al

OREGONS NEW SYSTEM
PUBLIC WATER CONTROL

The state engineer of Oregon
John H. Lewis, gave an outline OF the
oregon water law in an address be-
fore the Irrigation Congress which
should be read by every citizen OF
this state so that they may have
knowledge Of the law.
"Oregon has recently adopted
system of public control for water re-
sources This system is in advance
of other states in that rights to use
of water for power development are
limited to a period of forty years
subject to removal under laws then
existing. Compensation to the pub
| lie is also provided.
Under the old laws confusion pre-
prevailed. Litigation among water
users became a burden upon irri-
gated agriculture. Dams and fumes
were annually destroyed and lives
were threatened in community quar-
rels. Under such conditions, capita
refused to invest and homeseeker'
went to other states. To remedy
this condition complete code o.
laws was enacted, becoming effective
last February.
"The ultimate object of the new
law is to secure a proper division o
streams among those entitled to thei
use. 1t is not supported by any con
stitutional provision, but rests en-
tirely upon the police power of tn
state.
