Waldport

The Attorney General has suffer

Waldport is fast becoming the
educational center of Southern Lin

Grammar School are strictly up to
date. as are also the teachers en-
pioyed. The advantage of good
schools is SO apparent that a num-
ber of outside families come to
Waldport for the school year.
Among the last to do this is the
family of Mr.. Hines of the Yachats.
With our schools progressing so
nicely we are now asked to sanction
a saloon. This is acknowledged by
all thinking citizens to be back

if you wish to see whether the
thinking population is in the
majority.

Newport

The government dredge Oregon
was brought to Yaquina Bay Thurs
day by the tug Printer. belonging
to the Grays Harbor Towing COM
pany. She has a crew of twenty
seven men. The dreige will be
used to deepen the channel of va
Quina river fifteen feet from Toledo
to the west line of the port dis
tricr. This will make depth of
water at high tide to float a vessel
carrying million feet of lumber.
1t was by the push and energy of
the Toledo people that this dredge
was secured. The people of that
city kept hammering away at Con.
gress for help until they gained re-
cognition, and now the work will
be carried on under the supervision
of the government. A good many
dollars will be spent in Toledo as
well as in Lincoln county. New
port made great mistake in not
going in with Toledo and forming
one district. including the water
shed of the Big Elk and Yaquina
rivers. This would have given us
a much greater influence with Con-
gress in the way of getting ap-
preparations. The river and har-
bor must be improved and deepened
before much commerce can be done
over it. The reason the one port
was not formed was because of the
opposition of Newport or at least
some of its citizens. This we know

The Progressive Drop.

One OF the most remarkable cut.
comes Of the election was the small
showing made by the Progressives.
The Progressive party ran second
In the national election last fall. 1t
carried the city of Chicago by a con-
siderable plurality. But It made bad
third in the local race.
One swallow does not make a sum-
mer, and one municipal election does
not foretell with certainty the death
Of party. But 1t is clear that the
Progressive party must get stronger
grip on the affections of the people
than 1t has yet done, II 1t is to ac-
complish any part Of its ambitious
program. The vote given to Roosevelt
last fall apparently was due in large
part to personal popularity, a desire
for revenge on Taft, and a carefully
nursed delusion that Teddy had q
chance to win.-Chicago Journal.

Two Sides to the Tariff.

To hear some people talk we woulo
think that the tariff reduction to
which the Democratic party Is pledg.
ed was simply and solely blow at
capitalistic monopoly in the interest
Of the downtrodden workingman.
Well, the employees OF ten OF the
largest pocketknife factories in the
united States met the other day at
Newburgh. N. ", and arranged to
send a committee to Washington TO
demand that the present tariff on
pocketknives be maintained. They
insist that their present wages de-
pend upon maintaining the present
tariff and state that there isn't cut
lery concern In England, Germany
and France that is not preparing 10
send its goods to this country in case
the tariff is reduced.
Apparently the cutters Of this coun
try see two sides to the tariff ques-
ton and are not especially anxious for
blow to be dealt at capjtalistic
monopoly.

Democratic Responsibility.

The Democratic house was not en-
tirely responsible for the appropria'
lions of the late congress. which ex-
coed those OF any other congress.
The senate was Republican. But the
house was certainly responsible In
large part.
Mr.. Fitzgerald, chairman OF the ap-
preparations committee, says that the
expansion OF the country requires In
creasing appropriations. or course,
that Is true. 1t does not necessarily
follow. however, that the expansion
OF the country justifies all the. appro-
priations that are made. This excuse
that the growth of the country justi-
fled billion dollar congress recently.
is the one that the Republicans have
been making all along. The Demo
Gratis have denied that 1t was sum
cient justification. But 1t Is now to
be made by the Democrats 1t was
good for the Republicans. and the
Democrats were not justified In re-
jecting 1t. We must have single
standard for both parties. The Dem
ocrats have got either to economic
or to cease talking about Republican
extravaganza.
