ONLY TWELVE DAYS AWAY The presidential election is only twelve days away. Have you made up your mind how to TOt? Are you studying the national is sues? Voting for president, for national and state officers, legislative and county offices, for constitutional amendments, for initiative and refer endum measures, should be ap proached in a serious manner. Careless voting now may be paid for later. Never before were the responsibili ties of citizenship greater. Never before should the voter enter the booth on election day in a more prayerful state of mind, hoping that he is doing the best for his country and himself. , ITS OWN REWARD. Simple living, like virtue, is its own reward. Surgeons in session at Philadelphia, declare high living is responsible for many operations which poor people do not have. The rich are more subject also to cancer of the stomach. Hard work, physical exercise, sim ple food are the lot of the poor. Perhaps they are wrong if they envy the rich raiment, the wines and rich diet of their wealthier brethern. WIT AND HUMOR Slow Mails. From a small country village where a new postoffice had recently been established came many complaints that the mail was not being sent as promptly as it should be, and an in spector visiting the town went to in vestigate. He told the postmaster of the complaints. The postmaster point ed to a mail bag about one-fourth full and said: "Well, I send the mail out every time I gt& the bag full. You don't expect me to send it wjth only a dozen letters in, do you? I reckon that bag will be another three weeks at the rate letters is comm' in now." A Fine Sermon. The archbishop had preached a fine sermon on married life and its beau ties. Two cid Irish women were heard commit out of church commenting on the address.: ' :Tis a fine sermon his r:vercn-;e would be ; f ter givin' us," saU oic to 'he other. " It is indade," was the q.i;' replj "and I wish I knew as littl-3 abo .t the matter as ho does." EDITORIAL COMMENT L. D Heusner Takes Big Trout. A notable visitor to Portland last week was L. D. Heusner, general pas seneer aeent of th& Michigan Central Railroad, who was the guest of his brother, George F. Heusner. "I see many notable signs of im provement since my last visit," said Mr. Heusner. "Portland has assumed distinctly metropolitan airs in the past few years. And I should say that Port land is really just beginning to grow. The industries that you are getting TAKE TIME TO LOOK, AS IT PAYS TO LOOK BEFORE BUYING.

Mr. Heusner says that Portland has all the atraction that Eastern visi tors are looking for. "You have splen did roads, beautiful scenery, a wonder ful climate, the best hotels in the country, and a gracious and hospit able people.

Deposits $ 250,000 ..$1,000,000 Evening. The sun is gone; those glorious char iot wheels . Have sunk thtir broadening spokes of flame and left Thin rosy films wimpled across the West, Whose last faint tints melt slowly in the blue, the last trembling cadence of a song Fades into silence sweater than all sound. Now the first stars begin to tremble forth Like the first instrument of an or chestra Touched softly, one by one. There in . the East Kindles the glory of moonrise; how its waves Break in a surf of silver on the clouds. ' Edward Rowland Sill. For Rent Signs Disappear. It is gratifying to note the rapidity with which the "For Rent" signs have been removed from the South Port land district. The enlarged payroll of the Northwest Steel Company, which is building a number of steel ships, is responsible for the many new famil ies that arti moving into that part of Portland. "By Spring," says J. R. Bowles its manager, the company will have about 1600 to 2000 men regular ly employed. The building of wooden ships has brought now families to other parts of the city also. The Spectator. FILDOM NOTES Thrift. Without me no man has ever achiev ed sucess, nor has any nation ever become great. I have been the bed rock of every successful career, and the cornerstone of every fortune. All the world knows mo and most of the world heeds my warning. The poor may have me as well as the rich. My power is limitless, my applica tion boundless. He who possesses me has content ment in the present and surety for the future. I am greater value than pearls, ru bies and diamonds. I make a n.an well dressed, well housed and well fed. Jane and Katherine Lee, the little children who acted in William Fox's "Daredevil Kate," amused the entire company, during the taking of scenes in the picture, by imitating the actors. After a scene had been filmed, Jane and Katherine would act it out again, exagerating all the actions of the grown-ups. Helen Ware who stars in "The Gar den of Allah," is a native of Califor nia, although most of her theatrical life has been spent in the East. forces. He has been acting on stage and in movies for more than five yean and to U favorably known In a dozen cities of the Eastern United States.

When has vas only nineteen years old, Mr. Sutherland played for twenty-five weeks as the man with the double personality in "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." The Blind And The Pictures. A young lady of 22 years, who has been blind from birth has recently by means of successeful operation been given full eyesight. The marvel of surprises which have greeted her can readily be imagined; strange to say, however, she accords to moving: pictures the place of greatest wonder. Upon being asked what made the greatest impression upon her exper iences in the new world of sight, she said, "the motion pictures." In fur ther explanation she told how she had heard actors and had been told what they were doing but no explana- -tion of the motions in the pictures were intelligent in the absence of the J spoken word. The deaf mutes have iouna ine pictures a source ux kicui. educational value. The blind, however, must receive our greater sympathy in tl'.at lack of sounds make it Im possible to comprehend the two-fold loss of sight and hearing; to the blind motion pictures treat them a if they were deaf also. The sympathy this arouses is not altogether met with the wonder experienced by this young lady. - i t I TnitPfl Stafoc Senator Mrvi'w mwymm . I Geo. E.
