THE mitKE DISGRACES.
' The ''Can't Do It club," the TVet Biaiiket'&i&e''
arid the "Anvil Chorus" .have a large membership, scat
tered throughout the world we blush to say it, but they
are represented even in the progressive city of Medford
though their membership is" limited and diminishing day
by day.
It is a habit with a great many to approach new pro
jects like a crab, to go sidewise, backwards, or crawl
around anything but a direct approach. "When it is
desired to attain certain lends, they begin to figure how
it can't be done, and find a thousand obstacles blocking
the way in short, figure how not to do, instead of how
to do. These are members of the "Can't Be Done club."
A great many view everything through green goggles.
They are pessimists of the worst stripe. Instead of en
couraging everything tending for progress, they see only
the discouraging features, and their gloominess bubbles
over dampening the ardor and enthusiasm necessary to
success. These are enrolled; in the "Wet Blanket Brigade."
Those who from smaU-inindcdness, narrow vision, pet
ty jealousies and rivalries',! pr from sheer malice, "knock"
projects and people, whp deliberately, by gossip, falsehood
and inunendo, seeko undermine and destroy, whose en
ergies are expended in building coffins instead of palaces,
whose hammers ring early and late these are members of
the "Anvil Chorus." 1-f " '
One who starts out by saying '"It can't be done" can
never do it. One who is discouraged at the start lacks the
courage necessary for attainment. One who seeks success
through the failures of others seldom attains it. The cre
ative,' not the destructive faculty, spells the progress of
humanity. The three sister orders should be banished,
that the sunlight of success may magicly convert air castles
into structures of steel and masonry.
Persistence, courage and brains can accomplish most
anything. There never was a wall that could not be climbed
or gone around. There are few obstacles that cannot be
overcome if tackled aright. Desired ends that cannot be
attained, if reasonable and proper effort is made are
scarce.1 Nothing worth while comes without effort and
sometimes, long continued effort. The gamblers' gains
the get-rich-quick gains are not worth the having, for
they cost so little.
It is the struggle for things, the battle to overcome
obstacles, the long, hard fight against odds, rather than
the actual attainment, that gives life its zest. "We work
to' win, but rob a victory of the effort it cost and the glory
has departed. : ,
The "Can't Do It club,", the "Wet Blanket Brigade"
and the "Anvil Chorus,"' fungi that flourish in the moss
back community, have no -license to exist in a progres
sive community, and their members should
.
"Fold their tents like the Arabs
And silently steal awav."

OWNERS OF LAND OPPOSE
. ' MORE CAPITAL STOCK
KLAMATH FALLS. Or.. Scot 8
Owners of land under what is known
as the Tipper Klamath project are
mucji interested 111 the notion to he
taken in regard to the increment kf
the capital stock of the Waterusers'
association. A special mectin og the
shareholders has been called fro' the
early part of October to take action
011 tins matter. I lie land owners un
der the project fake the position Hint
(hey. do not feel justified in voting
an increase in Hie capital slncy until
they have some assurance of what
the cost of the water will be. They
also want to know how soon thoir
portion of the nroiecl is "to be mm.
I'lcted. It is likely that these ma Iters
will lie taken up by Project Engineer
Patch at the special meelini?. Sniu-r-
vising Engineer Hopson has been go
ing over the field thoroughly and it
is likely that, nt the Oetobor meeting
he will be in a position to give the
landowners the information desired.

NOW OTHER CITIES
PAVE THEIR STREETS
Providence, in the. statu owned by
the interests behind Senator Aldrich,
appears to bo tho only city in the
United States which follows the sys
tem prevailing in Jorhnstown, Pa., in
the matter of street paving. There
the cost of improving is also saddled
uhiii tho general fund.
Tho department of legislative' ref
erence of tho city of llnltimnro has
collected from 10 of tho largest cit
ies of the' country information as to
the portion of the cost of paving
which is assessed against ahbuttiug
property. Seven of these pay for in-'
tersections, three "pay for 2 per cent
of tho rest and ono for 25 per cent.
Providence, R. I. alone pays for all.
New York ussosses tho entire cost
against ahbuttiug proorty.
Chicago follows the same principle
except as to business streets. From
15 to 25 per cent of tho cost of pav
ing the pusiness streets) is assessed
against abutter!-.
Philadelphia pays for the inter
sections. Cleveland pays for tho intersec
tions a:id 2 per cent of tho rrst.
Ruffalo assess tho entiro cost
against tho abutter s.
Pittsburg docs tho s;.mo .
Detroit pays for the intersections.
Cincinnnti pays for the intecrsec
tions and 2 per cent of the rest.
Milwaukee pays for nothing unless
the cost of paving exceeds per
square yard. Tt pays for anything
in excess of that.
New Orleans pays for tho inter
sections and 25 per cent of the rest.
Minneapolis pnys for the inttersee
ioiis. - .
Louisville pays for nothing.
Indianapolis pnys nothing.
St. Paul pays nothing. .
Rochester pays nothing.
Kansas City pays nothing.
Denver pays nothing.'
Toledo pays for tho intersections.
And right in this- connection it
might be added that Ashland pays
for tho intersections.
And Providence like Johnstown,
pays nil.
The proposition to place one-third
the cost on tho city find no recogni
tion any were in tha country so fur ns
known. The tondcycyis toward as
sessing tha entire cost, upon abutters
nnd there. is no argument which can
be advanced in support of putting
any of the cost of paving upon the
ubbutters which docs not better sup
port the proposition to put it all
there.
