COURSES
Many young people who will soon resume their work in
schools and colleges, are considering what courses of study
" they shall choose in these institutions, and their parents
. are exercised as to which lines of effort will do most for
. their development. In the minds of some of these students,
the solution is not difficult. If certain branches are reput
ed to be easy, they quickly pick these as the ones they wish
to take.. If they were reproached with indolence, thrjy
" would reply that they considered it equally necessary to
make records for themselves in student activities, and if
'their time was taken up by hard studies, they could not go
..in heartily for these student affairs. It is somewhat unfor
tunate when a young person gets in the habit of picking out
the easiest way. Such a one is quite apt later to pick some
job that leads; nowhere because it is' reputed to be a soft
snap, with' the result that he gives up any chance he might
have of promotion. The human brain is like human muscle,
and it, heeds exercise!.' If you do hot walk much, and never
play any games or do any active work, your muscle will be
so weak and flabby that you will never acquire a; good phys
ical development.! So if your brain is also a dodger of diffi
cult thingsand it shrinks aside from every task which
makes one think, it will have Httfej capacity for; those op
portunities in, the business world which call on people for
ingenuity and resourcefulness.' 'As for student activities be
ing as important as study, when the' business men fill their
vacant positions with the mew graduates, they are not so
qoncerned with a boy's batting and fielding average, or
how a girl is on dancing and tea parties,, as with how these
.young people stood ih; the)? studies.. '. . : r ;

Much interest will be felt in the 75th anniversary of
tho founding of the New York Times; which occurs Septem
ber 18, and he 3.0th anniversary oh the present , manage
'ncnt has; just, been oljserypd. ' The enormous success of this
great(a,n4 fine newspaper is a' demonstration that clean and
(reliable jpurnaysm pays. The (Times has for ' many, years
displayed- as its. slogan, "All the .news that's fit to print," a
motto that' ;crtn'ifei 'douhsel to many 'newspaper men; tyho
seen to prefer garbage. One' hiay or may not agree with
the ideas advocated by the New York- Times, but it has at
least created a reputation for accurate' reporting,, thorough
covering of' big' news events, and for appealing to the most
' intelligent1 people.' ; That, style of newspaper work will pay
'anywhere, and the more the newspapers of America follow
i such aims,, the more substantial they will become as business
enterprises, and the more they will contribute to ,the community.-

' ' Labor seems to be more esteemed now than formerly.
Ferhapsathe constant celebration of Labor, day for many
-t years has helped. Formerly many young men said that as
. tliere was money enough, in their families to support them,
they did not need to do any work. , This idea was cherished
not merely by the sons of the very wealthy, but by many
.i boys from families which were simply comfortably fixed.
The majority of the young men who thus chose no occupa
tion became mere idlers. But now it has become generally
, customary for the sons of the wealthy to go to work, and
most of the girls do so too. It is producing a generation
with ppwer of achievement.

It takes a long, long time to live your misdeeds down;
your nncient, thoughtless crime still clings, to its renown.
You think it buried deep beneath the mold of years, and then
some gossip cheap brings it to eager ears. Your gait's been
circumspect since days when you wero young, but your re
nown is wrecked by some ignoble tongue. Some fellow has
recalled how, through tho moonlit glens, a sack in hand, you
crawled, and kidnaped certain hens. Tho tale goes forth un
proved, nnd grinning men ignore how righteously you've
moved since those wild days of yore. "We always thought,"
men say, "that ho with fakers stood ; wo do not like the jay
who is too beastly good. His halo was so bright, inspiring
poets' pens; and yet it seems, one night, he swiped a neigh
bor's liens." How often we behold the man of noble fame,
the man with heart of gold who's played the moral game; he
is our pride and boast in synagogue and street; admirers, in
a host, their eulogies repeat. He's called upon at last to hold
an office down; corruption, deep and vast, has nearly wreck
ed the town. No sooner does he take his place in the parade
than politicians rake for some mistake he's made. And this
good man is cinched, his fame is split in halves; it seems that
he was pinched, once, for misbranding calves. And those
who used to bow to him with hats in hand, itf'e throwing hen
fruit now, n ribald, jeering band. The moral is, abstain from
'every evil trick; the blemish will remain and some day inako

smirch, but back they come to town, and knock you off your

Public Ownership.
When one geta right down to
canes, what is there to gain by
substituting public owuemblp for
private ownership ot any industry
in America t uuiic owiiemhip Blm
ply menna that the rights of a prl
vute citizen to carry on a given
line of business are taken away
and placed in the hands of the gov
ernment. Have Americans any
thing to gain by limiting their fu
ture opportunities for the free play
of Individual initiative and enter
prise? Has public ownership any
thing to offer in way of advan
tages or greater benefits to the
common people than private owner
ship has to show in this country?
Willie wo kick at our taxes, they
are nothing when compared to the
per capita tax In countries where
government owned enterprises are
exempted from taxation and the
amounts which such properties
would bo paying under private
management are loaded onto the
general taxpayer. When It comes
to service rendered by public utili
ties, no country in the world with
government owned plants can be
gin to compare with our own pri
vately operated public utilities,
subject to a well worked out sys
tem of public regulation. ;
Vet we have in this country a
constarft campaign to BtibBlittite
public for private ownership, and
thereby limit tho freedom and op
portunity of future generations of
citizens. Salem Manufacturer. ;

Started Travels in 1824
The peregrinations ot David
Douglas in the Northwest cover a
decade from 1824 to 1831. He left
London In the year of 1821 and
was at Fort Vancouver stution be
fore the buildings were erected.

during the first of which he ex

but under promise to make no
sketches of what they called their
military defenses. To the botani
cal vocabulary of the times David
Douglas added the names of over
one thousand plants.
The savages let him pass unmo

the trappers and ranchers held In
little less awe the great grass man.
He had many ways of charming
into wholesome fear the . simple
savage mind. To show , them his
skill In shooting he would bring

Natives Burned Forests
' For many years In modern times
there has been a discussion as to
whether or not tho Indians pur
posely burned over the forests.
Some of the pioneers claim tat
the Indians regularly burned over
tho forests, while otners ciaiut
that the fires started from natural
causes and burned without hin
drance. "
Douslas in his diary says that
the Imlinns did burn over the land,
and gives two explanations, one
that it made hunting easier, by
'tiiWtmr deer to unburtiod sections,
und the other Unit it enabled them
hotter to find wim noney ami

The Interstate Transit company,
which operates a line of chair
busses through Roseburg, has in
augurated an airplane service, sys
tem for handling of emergency
parts, mechanics, drivers, etc. In
the event a bus breaks down at
any place along the Highway, a
mechanic is immediately sent out
ot Oakland, California, by air
plane, carrying the necessary parts
for repairs, and within a few hours
has reached the scene . of the
breakdown and has . the repairs
started, in many cases long before
a reserve car could reach the
stranded party. In case of illness
on the part of drivers, or any oth

dispatched with whatever is nec
