A TRIUMPH OF AMERICAN SPIRIT
The recent celebration at Sacramento, California, of the
days of the eold rush of 1819, have recalled one of the most nota
Lie achievements of American spirit. How many people are then
today, who if the conditions the "Forty-niners" had to meet, were
repeated, would have the nerve to cross an unknown continent in
old prairie schooner and face perils from savages, the desert
thirst, and starvation ?
The present generation has grown so accustomed to fat and
easy living;, that thiit pioneer spirit seems almost to have died
tvnt. Qur people as they journey across the plains enjoying all
liie comforts of modern travel, have no conception of the courage
ad endurance it took to make a journey like that. To set out
across a pathlesR wilderness, without knowing how they were to
live, or how their rough old wagons were to be drawn through
winds and over great mountain chains, how they were to get
water and food, would seem today to our comfortable city and
town dwellers a preposterous and fool-hardy undertaking. Some
young and adventurous people might do it today. But not many
The early gold seekers must have realized that many of those
Wh"o preceded them had left their bones to dry on those trackless
wastes. They must have known that their beasts of burden might
never bo able to carry themselves and their belongings over the
sands of the desert and the rough mountain passes. But they
laughed at such perils, and went on with dauntless spirit.
It is that determination that has made America great. This
capacity to endure hardships and meet difficulties built up a coun
try that has become the foremost on earth. If its welfare is to be
maintained, this spirit of accomplishment and endurance can not
be permitted wholly to die out.
o
Roseburg is coming to the front fast. There is a spirit of go-get-'em
here that spells success and a high degree of progress in
ma'ny ways. A fine country club and golf links are practically a
realization. Mayor Hamilton says he will see that a new cluster
light system is installed throughout the main streets of the city,
and there is a whole lot of good talk about a highway up the
North Umpqua river a section unrivaled in the state for scenic
beauty, and where the finest fishing can be had and the sports
men's paradise for all kinds of wild game. It really looks like a
new era of progress and spirit of progredsiveness have overcome
the people of this city and they are determined to keep hammer
ing away until their desires are accomplished . This is a very
commendable spirit and one which is bound to place this beauti
ful city in Ms proper place among the up-to-date communities of
Utw ureal old state. Let the good work go on with all the pos
sible vim and vigor that can be commanded.

It is a strange result of the war that the defeated nation,
Germany, in some resects seems much better off than the vic
tors. There are said to be scarcely any idle men in Germany at
the present time. Meanwhile victorious England is torn with
industrial disturbance, and nearly 2,000,000 men are out of work.
Also victorious United States at one time had about 5,000,000 un
employed, though the number is not probubly much over a third
of that now. What has made the difference? One reason has been
that Germany has had very few labor troubles. It has been pos
sible to reach harmonious adjustments, while America and Eng
land have been torn by industrial conllicts. When a great body of
men unit work, their power to consume commodities is destroyed,
and their stoppage throws a lot of others out of employment. The
relatively higher prices that have been maintained for factory
products, while foodstuffs fell at one time nearly to pre-war fig
ures, also destroyed the ability of the farming element to buy
nianufactu'vd goods.

The United States fire loss last year was something tremen
dous, amounting to $ ISii.OOO.Otm. Insurance men suggest that a
large number were set to secure insurance. These fires are a
burden on every family, as insurance is one of the costs of doing
business which the consumer must pay, every dollar of it. The
man who sets tiro to a building commits one of the worst offences
known to human nature. If he does it from revenge, he reveals a
dark and vindictive mind, and if he does it to collect insurance, he
endangers life and places a burden on his IVIlowmen. No punish
ments the courts will ever impose on such sneaks are too severe.

BE AN OPTIMIST
If your coal pile is low.
And you are badly In debt;
If your mortgage Is due.
And the house is "To Let."
If your children are ragged.
And their shoes are worn through,
And they are crying with hunger
Now what would you do?
If you can't find the money,
If you have done all you can,
Why pass up your worries
To your creditor man ?
