It has now become evident to
nearly every one that officialdom
wns barking up the wrong tree
when it sought to muzzle the
newspapers of the United States.
Since the beginning of our war
with Germany, the newspapers
of the country have loyally sup
pressed items that might have
been of value to the enemy, but
in spite of thin voluntary self
censorship of the press, news of
military and naval importance
continues to reach Germany
from this country. - Idaho
Statesman.
Business interests throughout
the state are just now turning
much of their attention toward
seeing that labor troubles are
held to minimum whilo the coun
try is passing through the pros
tint war. Millions of dollars for
investment arc pouring into the
stale, dozens of new industries
are being started and more are
sure to follow. There will bo
work, and is today, for every
man who wants to work and the
wagus arcitlie highest ever paid
in the history of the slate, it is
said.
f
Kant St. Louis is paid to de
sire now the return or the ne
gro workers, driven out as a re
milt of recent awful riots. The
industrial life of the city is
said to have been crippled be
cause of the disappearance of
the blacks. In view of what
has occurred there, Hast St.
Louis will be compelled to se
cure another kind of labor than
the negro. The riots there
were not only a disgrace for the
city, but a blot on the nation
itself.- Ex.
Having been voted down
twice, the State Orango of Ore
gon again takes up the proposi
tion of abolishing the Stale Sen
ale. Why just the Senate?
Why not the House? Why not
both houses of tho Legislature?
Why not all county and state
ollicus, and lot crowds of people
moot at tho court house or tho
statu canitol and do business
right? .lust why tho Crango
loaders have any ill fooling to
ward the State Senate is di Ill
cult to understand. It would
show more earnestness, and lesfc
political sploon to abolish the
untiro Legislature since tho
nuoplo can initiate and referend
laws. If we are to have radi
calism, let's have it good and
strong, says the McAlinnville
News.

It seems like Uncle Sam is
michty ungrateful old fellow.
During the past few months he
has made call after call upon
the newspapers for free adver
tising space. The newspapers
have responded with millions of
dollars worth or such space, and
through the giving of that
space, the food preparedness
campaigns were made a sue
cess; through this free space the
liberty loan was oversubscribed
CO per cent; through this free
space the war census was suc
cessfully conducted, and through
this free space the $100,000,000
asked for the Iced Cross was
oversubscribed. Yet, after all
this, congress proposes to put a
tax on advertising. Talk about
ingratitude! Cottage Grove
Sentinel.
The proposed tax on advertis
ing is, perhaps not the worst
knock that the newspapers of
the land receive from the gov
ernment. Most newspaper offi
ces conduct job printing plants
in connection. Undo Sam, for
some reason or other, has been
engaged in tho job printing
business for years to somo ex
tent. Ho furnishes, stamps
prints the name, business am
address, and pays the express
ago to ditstination on envelopes
for business concerns. And li
does all this at a nricc muc
less than the printer can buy
the envelopes blank. Who
makes up the deficit in the cost
of the envelopes and pays for
the stampinir, printing and ex
nressaue? The printer: is de
prived of this business by tho
government, tho business con
corns reap tho bonelit, and tho
taxpayer probably foots the
loss. As a matter of fact, the
government has no more right to
engage in commercial printing
than it does to engage in com
morcial nluinhimr or barbcritur
It is little wonder that tho pos
tal service shows a deficiency
almost every year.

A Bit of Reasoning
"When you hand a newsboy
a nickclvfor a morning news
paper," said K. J. Clancy, As
sistant to General Manager of
the Southern Pacific, "you
have spent almost twice as
much as the railroad receives
for transporting a delicious
cantaloupe and a sun-kissed
orange from the field and
groves of California to the
breakfast tables of New York.
It costs more to send a letter
through the mails from New
York to San Francisco than to
ship a 55 uunlap, Knox or
Stetson hat the same di&tance
by freight. At some factory
in the East that pair of shoes
you are wearing, and which has
doubled in price, was loaded
into a car and hauled 3000 miles
to the Pacific Coast for one-third
of what your barbnr would
chaVge you for a shave. That
suit of clothes you have on was
hauled in freight trains one
third of the distance around the
world at a total cost of about
19 cents. If living in San
Francisco, Oakland or other Bay
points you would have to eat
four Petaluma eggs every day
for two months before the cost
of transportation thereof would
omial the price of a two cent
postage stamp. A pound of live
beef from Nevada is hauled
more than 300 miles to San
Francisco over a mountain
range a mile and a half high,
and lowered a mile and a half
to sea level, for about one third
of a cent. In view of these facts
do you wonder that, burdened
by increased wages, increased
taxes, increased cost of capital,
and increase of from 100 to 500
per cent in the cost of fuel oil,
material and supplies, the rail
roads sought relief through the
medium of a 15 per cent in
crease in rates. And did you
ever stop to compute or consid
er how much such increase
would amount to? Well, on a
W suit of clothes, $5 hat, $8
pair of shoes. 30 dozen of eggs.
and 7 pounds of live beef, ship
ped respectively from New
York. Petaluma and Wabuska to
San Francisco, tho total 15 per
cent increase would amount to
less than the cost of one trin in
a jitney or street enr from tho
Civic Center to tho Ferry Build
ing or in other words, less than
cents."
class entertainment provided
this year was enjoyed by thoso
in attendance. While some of
tho entertainments did not
greatly interest all at the same
timo, yet there was in tho seven
day program much of interest
to every patron. All of it was
clean, wholesome, enlightening
and untertainiiig. Tho feature
about tho Chautauoua that is
moHt appealing is the bring
ing of tho best talent obtainable
to our very doors, making it
unnecessary to go elsewhere to
secure like entertainments. Tho
only objection heard was that
ChautaiHiuas takot money out
of tho town. This is true, but
it is money well spent. Educa
tion always takes money out of
town. St. Johns spends thous
ands and thousands of dollars
that goes out of town every
your on education. Fow of tho
school instructors reside hero
and their salaries are spent
olsowhero. Chautauquas are of
an educational nature. They
(iilliiiie much valuable informa
tion bosides providing enter
tainment and diversion that is
so ossontial to tho well being
of a community. It has been
said that entertainments as
pleasing to somo may bo seen
occasionally in Portland for 25
cents. Whilo this may be truo
in rogard to ono or two of tho
attractions
that
bit enter
ho or she generally manages to
loave ono or two dollars or oven
more in Portland before return
ing. Many in fact, in attend
ing one low priced show in
Portland, take more money
out of tl(o town than tho prico
of n season ticket to tho seven
day entertainment hero. So the
objection on tho score of tak
ing money out of town has
put little force.

- Boise News.
It has been suggested that a
committeo of our citizens take
up tho matter of the repair of
Jersoy street and the low pros
sure of water with the city au
thoritics. l no idea is a good
one. Jersey street is getting in
a deplorable condition, and in
certain hours of tho day practi
cally no water can no securet
from tho faucets in somo up
stairs rooms, l no price ot wa
ter is all right, but tho quantity
is woefully deficient. Let the
action be taken.

More tenant houses in St.
Johns is the crying need of tho
hour. It is practically impossi
bio to rent a house hero that is
in the least modern. Many aro
forced to go to 1'ortland proper
to reside when they would much
rather live here. But there is
little relief in sight. Capitnl is
slow to tako advantage of tho
opportunity, and the increase in

prove a profitable investment,
as thero is an incessant demand
for housekeeping rooms and
