The wise man Is one who recognizes
conditions and acts accordingly. The
man who acts on his own precon
ceived ideas regardless, of the condi
tions that surround Mm and in
many cases conditions which he sees,
or at least partially sees Is a fool
ish man.
Wo of this generation havo much
history with which to store our minds
and from which to learn facts of past

unreliable, hut that which is mate

The Tortland man who shot a

When religious weeklies like the
Outlook, Dr. Lyman Abbott's paper,
will print apologies for the Standard
Oil Company, either at so much per
line or in consideration of a fat do
nation, is it any wonder the common
people are losing faith in religious
papers and preachers?

TFFTH
JpHAT we have succeeded In our ambition
is attested by our constantly Increasing;
patronage by Oregon City's bet families. Call
at our office and let us make you a price on
your dental work before you contract with
some other dentist at the high prices usually charged people in Oregon City.
We are equipped to do all branches of dentistry. Our workmanship is
the best obtainable; our prices are right and just the same as at our Portland
office.
A Seattle preacher has been ar
rested for eating a quail in a Seattle
restaurant. While it was. perhaps, a
bad example for an expounder of the
moral law to set. still it is no worse
for a preacher to eat a quail out of
season than for any other man. That
suggestion about stone throwing may
not be amiss in this case.
The people of Spokane are tired of
"blue Sundays," and as the result of
a meeting of the business men last
week decided to call Council in spec
ial session and legislate accordingly.
This is the other side to that bright
Bhleld that some have been carrying
around to use as a mirror on their
neighbor.
President Josselyn, of the Portland
Ranlway, Light & Power Co., says
that his company is operating every
closed car they own, fit for service,
and that It is putting into commis
sion a new car every 4S hours. The
company seems to be doing all it
can to care for the "rush hours," the
rriv rritirism that, seems fair is to
charge that the company did not
gin to plan quite soon enough.
in
the history of past nations ana peo
ples than this fact: That the ma
jority has in many and many In
stances been in the wrong; It is only
through the majority being In the
wrong that evil can overtake a
nation or a people. All trouble that
has figured In the destruction of na
tions and peoples has come, then,
through the wrong-doing of the ma
ioritv. And In many Instances the
greater part of these majorities have ,
been people who were honest in ineir
intentions but were led into error by
friends, or through an appeal to some
selfish instinct that often dominated
their acts.

NO PAIN IN EXTRACTING TEETH? NO GAS? NO COCAINE.
ly 4 nthod of painless extracting at the usual price of 50 cents per tooth has done its part in building up our con-
stantly increasing patronage. WE SET THE PACE In Crown and Bridge work. Our regular price is $5.00
per tooth. Every piece of dental work done at this office is done by a dental college graduate of ten years' experience.

A prominent Senator, who has the
confidence of the President, is author
ity for the statement that next De
ber, in his. last annual message to the
Congress. Mr. Itxsevelt will strongly
urge that the salary of the President
of the United States be increased to
$100,000. The President hopes that
one of his last official acts will be to
sign such a bill, enabling his success
or draw the increased salary from the
beginning of his t"rm.
The fight for the shut s of District
Attorney Bristol, who has resigned,
is waxing hot all along the line. Pro
ecu'or Henv has gone on to Washing

ousted at this time. Chris Sciim-lr-l.
who has' been an aspirant for the i-osi-tion.
has gone too that his fence? niay
be pro"uriy taken care of. What the
ouicoir will be is h;l to, tell, but
Mr Schuebe! affirms that he hail no

place in case that it was sealed that
Mr. Bristol was to retire in any event.

Rlrtinc alone the railway on a fast
train it is easy to see mat your iram i i
is moving fon you can "see the j
fields and hills go by" and you can
count the telegraph poles if you arej
in doubt. , '
But that Is not the case iq the flight - W
of time. We are a part of "time'
and fly along at so nearly the samej
pace that we cannot look out upon
"time" and note which Is moving
the faster, and we often wonder if
we or "time" is moving at all. If we
would take 'note of "time" we must
look across the mile-poles of the cen
turies to see the progress that is
making.
But if we look back we can see
what were the main causes in the
destruction of the nations of the past
that have gone to pieces on the rocks
of time. And if we will look closely
enough we can see that it has been
mainly due to the errors of the ma
jority. .. ...
Vioiher point in connection with
this discussion that is not often seen.
If it is wrong for ore person to do a
certain thing it is wrong for a doz
en The size of the majority does
not change conditions. For example:
If it is wrong far one man to kill
another it is wi'ong for a dozen or for
a thousand to kill. Numbers do not
change conditions. It Is just as
wrong for a nation to kill men as Tor
the individual.
That brings us up to tlw 'K,lnt f
