THE SAFEST MAN IN SIGHT That Illinoisan, revealed in a Lin coln story as a member of the Legis lature of that state who was in favor of a pending bill but opposed to its enforcement as a law, may not have been so apochrypal after all. Mr. Lincoln presented him to us as a Democrat, and thei Democrats, in making their platform at Baltimore, gave a number of evidences that he was serving in their Platform Com mittee, or that other men of the old Democratic party type were perpetu ating his methods there. The most striking evidence of this can be found in that part of the Bal timore deliverance dealing with the conservation of national resources. The Democrats at Baltimore were in favor of the principle of conserva tion, of course for conservation is a very popular thing. They are, as they express themselves, in favor of the principle but opposed to the practice of conservation. They favor with holding forest and mineral lands from settlement, but they condemn the Taft administration for making such with holdings. They demand reductions in the size of reservations, and they in sist that land on which there is no tree growth shall not be reserved at all. Mineral land entries would doubtless have a great boom under a Democratic administration elected on such a platform . It is a high sign of Mr. Taft's hon esty and sincerity, as well as level headedness, that he is this year con demned by extremists of all sorts and the instruments they can control in politics and public affairs.

Few European physicians come to America for the same purpose. European business men, however, come to America to investigate American business organiza tions. Few Americans go to Europe for that purpose. Is it only asfad on the part of the American physician to go to Europe and of the European business man to come to America, or IS IT ACKNOWLEDGING THAT MEDICAL SCIENCE IS MORE ADVANCED IN EUROPE than in this country, as business meth ods are in America than in Europe ? MANY AMERICAN CITIES COULD BE AND SHOULD BE AS AT TRACTIVE TO MEDICAL STUDENTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD AS EUROPEAN CITIES IF THE SPIRIT THAT MAKES AMERICA THE GREATEST BUSINESS COUNTRY BE ADOPTED IN REGARD XSE T tIf LL-U Bill ( oS?i J beat hSCiSSwS E.C.

Chicago convention met, Mr. Roose velt robbed him of thousands of votes in the Republican primaries by charg ing that he had used the influence of his office against the unseating of Lor imer. Since the Chicago convention the Senate at Washington has taken action criticising him for having too far exerted the pressure of the execu tive office against Lorimer. The ob vious inference is that the president must have held, in that case, a fair and just course of action. The Roose velts, Pinchots and Garfields have charged him with favoring land and mineral rings in releasing lands which should have been reserved. But the land and mineral rings of half a doz en Western Statesspeaking at last through the Baltimore platform, have denounced him for reserving too much of the public domain which he should release into their hands for speculative use. The obvious infer ence here is that he has done, and is doing, the right thing. By November it is likely taht the common sense of the country will have found itself so far as to see and say that, for .the residency, Mr. Taft is the safest man in sight.

Mark v: 21-43 Golden Text And he took the dam sel by the hand and said unto her, Talitha cumi, which is, being inter preted, Damsel, I say unto thee arise Mark v:41. (1.)

Is it pos- sible that Jairus would have been but S. P. TO BUILD LINE IN MINI VALLEY ' t EUGENE, Or., Aug. 17. That the! Southern Pacific Sompany has deter- j mined to build an electric line from I Eugene up the McKenzie valley in the I near future is evidenced by the fact j that a party of 11 civil engineers, who arrived here from Portland last night left early this morning for Leaburg, 20 miles east of Eugene, where they have established camp and will begin the preliminary work of making a pre liminary survey for the railroad. The surveyors -make no secret of their identity, registering. "S. P, Co." after their names at the hotel ,and telling the hotel people that they were on their way up the McKenzie. At Spring field, where they purchased supples to last them a week and opened an ac count at the grocary store, they told where they were to make their camp. The trip of these engineers up the valley follows closely a recent trip of Robert E. Strahorn, president of the P. E. & E., who went from Eugene as far as the . upper McKenzie summer resorts, ostensibly on a fishing trip, but it is known that he stopped at f many different places to examine the country and probable bridge sites, tak ing several days to make the trip each way. Upon his return he waxed en thusiastic over the richness of the country and said he believed ,that a railway up that valley would pas well.

I for his trouble, and in any event what is the general influence of a great sor row upon a man's trust in Jesus? (5.)- Is such confident faith that Jairus had natural or supernatural, and why? (6.)

When jve are in trouble what do we need to do to get adequate help from God? (8.) Verses 25-28 What is the best thing for a woman who is afflict ed with a chronic disease to do? (9.)

When we open up our hearts to God and make him our confidential friend what are always the results? (17.)

Verses 38-43 What can you say for or -against profuse weeping and elaborate mourning emblems at the funerals of Christians? Lesson for Sunday, Aug. 25, 1912, The Visit to Nazareth. Luke iv: 16-30. Where He Found Safety. During his first curacy a clergyman found the ladies of the parish entirely too helpful. Such a storm of petty squabbles arose from their overeager ness to help that in despair he gave up the place. Not long afterward lie met his successor. "How are you getting on with the ladies?" asked the escaped curate. 'Oh, very well," was the answer "There's safety in numbers." "I found it in Exodus." was the quick reply. Youth's Companion.

A writer on flamingoes, which he has studied in their haunts in the Ba hamas, says of them: "They are prob ably as near to the geese as to any other order of birds, having a similar structure of bill and feet and some- ! what similar feather character. They bent bill, which, though gooselike in general economy, is constructed Id every detail upside down, as the bird In feeding reaches down to the bottom and places the top of the bill down. The tongue is also constructed in the same inverted way. The webbed feet are for sustaining the birds in the soft ooze they love to feed In. acting like snowshoes." She Could.

Perhaps that wasn't his name; It may have been Ebernezer, But I reckon it's all the same. 'Twa3 one of those painful accidents That happen on Molalla Slide, Where the ditches have been dug deep as sin, No wonder Bill fell in and died. Josh heard the story but yesterday; It hasn't been published I guess. 'Tis queer that the things which hap pen out there Never seem to be known to the "press." How "Bill," or "Ebernezer" fell in, Perchance will never be known ; But the fact remains that he wouldn't get out And so he died there alone. MORAL: Since one mule has met a tragic death Out on Molalla Slide, Be careful, my friend, that you don't get piled In the ditch, where old "Bill" died. SAMANTHA, of Clackamas County.
