No man can aaptre to a higher honor than to become a capable cltl- xen. and no one can merit ao dis­ tinguished a title unUl he Is well In­ formed of the resources, possibilities and achievements of our country. This Is a commercial age and civ­ ilization Is bearing Its most golden fruit In America. We are noted for our Industrial achievements as Egypt was noted for her pyramids; Jerusa­ lem for her religion; Greece for her art; Phoenicia for her fleets; Chaldea for her astronomy and Rome for her laws. Likewise we have men who will go down In the world's history as pow­ erful products of their age. For. stand­ ing at the source of every gigantic movement that sways civilization Is a great man. The greatest minds travel In the greatest direction and the com­ mercial geniuses of this age would have been the sculptors, poets, phil­ osophers. architects, and artists of earlier civilizations. As Michael Angelo took a rock and with a chisel hewed It into the Imng. of an angel that ever beckons man­ kind upward and onward, HIU took the desert of the Northwest and with bands of steel miulo It blossom like a rose, dotted the valleys with happy homes and built cities In waste places. As Guttenberg took blocks of wood and whittled them Into an alphabet and made a printing press that flashed education across the con­ tinent like a ray of light upon a new born world, McCormick took a bar of Iron and bent It Into a reaper and with one sweep of his magic mind broke the shackles that enslaved labor of generations yet unborn, and gave mankind freedom from drudgery, aud lifted the human race Into a higher zone of life. As Nelson organized the English navy nnd made England mistress of the sea, enabling the British Isles to plant her flag upon every continent washed by the ocean's waves, and to make foot­ stools of the Islnnds of every water, Morgan organized a banking system that has made America master of tho world's finances, brought Kings to our cashier's windows, the nations of the earth to our discount desks and placed under the Industries of this nation a financial system as solid as the Rock of Gibraltar. There la no study quite so Interest­ ing as progress; no sound so magic as tho ronr of liuluatry and no sight so Inspiring as civlllratlon in action. A full realization of America's part In the great events of tho world past, present and future will thrill every human heart with pride, patriotism and faith In Republican Institutions. Through tho courtesy of the Agri­ cultural and Commercial Press Ser­ vice, the readers of this paper will bo permitted to study America; her ag­ ricultural. mauufacturing and min­ eral development, mercantile, hank­ ing and transportation systems whlcn are the wonder of tho world. The first article of the series will deal with transportation and will appear at an early dnte.

R. U POLK ft CO., ft RATTLE The Cottage Grove Sentinel and Leader have consolidated and will hereafter be issued from o n e office a s a semi-weekly. There is considerable advantage in such an arrangement and it gives t h e people o f Cottage Grove just as good if not a little better newspaper service. The only drawback to the situation is that some chump of a newspaper man will see in the one paper town the opportunity to estab­ lish another “ long felt want.” On the whole there is too much o f that spirit among men who make their living in the printing and newspaper business.
