ROSEBURG, OREGON, THE SANITARY JPATH OF PROGRESS We have gone far In methods of sanitation since the day when the dog used to sleep in the wash pan or the back porch. Now it seems the very apex of cleanliness is about to be reached. Somewhere in New York a barber shop porter made a tremendous mistake. Carrying out his office of brushing the coat of a customer, this overzealous fellow ac tually raised a few specs of dust. The New York heath com missioner heard about it, and of course something drastic had to be done.' , Looking the matter up, the commissioner discovered that the porter's whisk broom' is contrary to every known dictum of sanitation. A foul thing, in fact. The health commissioner called in the barbers and ordered that the whisk brooms bo whisked about no more in their shops. It shall be even as he has spoken ; the whisk broom must let the customers alone. Now a man can leave a bar ber shop in New York with a coat full. of hair and be sure that he hasn't picked up a single bug. ' It's a great age. But that isn't all. Some attention caller in the same large village calls attention to the fact that dogs and horses are prone to carry various bacilli about with them. Immediately there is a rush to arms to follow this horseless Paul Revere into the battle of cleanliness. And, the Society to Prohibit Dogs and Horses Within the City Limits is .organized I Legislation to keep the horses and dogs outside! the city is being framed, Sweetness and light and sanitation I Horseradish and apple sauce and plum pudding and prune juice and bologna! On ward, cleanliness, onward! ;;,:,, ; '.'.... . . o- - ' ''' ' ". Alsace is like some wives. It is never satisfied, no mat ter what is done! for it.

You get an angle on this problem when you re member what ft'.caiiny Alsatian said not long ago. He sum med up in a nutshell the situation with which the French government has to cope ! "We love France, but we hale Frenchmen." 1 ' i The traditional intellectuality, bf Harvard seems to have reached "that point in its life cycle which is best charac terized by the cant torm of decadont," a writer in tho Yale Alumni Weekly tells tho world. 'The article oes on to. make derogatory allusions to the girl! Been at Harvard parties and to'Harvard men's general cussedness. Criticism is till very good, but sometimes criticism .degenerates into empty, though sonorous, phrases. University men should use judg ment. Fine and sportsmanlike friendship has been killed by the fuss stirred up through just such iirticles as this. - 0 i " ; The Nows-Roview has received soveral communications for publication, all dealing with recent quarantine, A num ber of the correspondents wero quite caustic in their re marks, both for and against tho question. No real good would be accomplished by the publication of any of them, the matter practically being a closed issue.-. We are all too happy- contemplating a joyous Christmas and a prosperous New Year to throw a monkey wrench into the wheels of pro gress of this old town. ! .'' ' o , The kidnapping case in Los Angeles-was about tho most atrocious murder that we have had called to our attention. That such brutes are allowed to live in a dvilisscd commun ity and get away with heinous crimes of this kind is most horrible to contemplate. If caught, this degenerate should bo put to death by some other means than hanging. Most any kind of punishment would bo too good for taking .the life of an innocent child in the manner accomplished. -o The old town is coming back into her own. lUisiness is good in all lines and there's n lot of the yellow motal float ing around. When we get the bridge across Deer creek com plete so that the traveling public can "shoot" up tho main drag we'll be carrying a broad smile. 0 You can buy a lot of Christmas presents in six days and you have six full days before you to make the rounds. Iloscburg merchants are showing a wonderful line to make selections from and have an army of willing clerks to make your shopping a real pleasure. A university demonstrates that a woman can food her husband on CH cents a day. We'd like to listen in at the peaceful hearth ubout the third day the little woman tried it. A professor says that free love is now more prevalent than at any Other time In history. Maybe it is, but where did the professor ets his statistics? , A London scientist suggests the use of baboons as house maids. It hasn't been proposed yet, however, to train ba boons to become scientists. Just to be sure that there would be good will on. all sides when he hopped off for Mexico, LimlWgh carried an army rifle. -o- Culilorma is excited over development 01 a seedless lemon.

Mr. McClintic told. congress that the Sixth Bombing Squad ron at Guantanamo Bay, drop ping bombs on a target smaller than a cruiser, made a perfect score. Only one bomb failed to ex plode; not one missed the murk. Fifty million dollars' worth of flying machines with good pilots could destroy out new S0U,00u,OUt) battle fleet in about fifty minutes, and if real war came we should imitate what England did in tne last war, hiding our battleships carefully camouflaged, behind com mercial ships in harbors. ' llepetltion of thh fact may seem tiresome in peace. Uut if we ever have a war, lack, or airplanes will 'seem even more tiresome.

Had it lived it must have been always an absolute idiot, unable to think or speak. The parents thought it would be better to let the child die, and the doctor allowed- it to die, for lack of food as "an uct of humanity." This decision, generally approv pil liv nubile oninion. will be disau- proved by those who believe that the child without any brain, de stined to a lung life of misery, was created by the direct and inten tional act of Divine Power, pos sibly by way of visiting upon that unborn child the sins of its fath ers, or for some other good roa- i Mure than half a million auto mobiles have gone through the ve hicle tunnel under tho Hudson riv er connecting Manahattan with Jersey City.
