MORE LIGHT The Molalla Pioneer
BEING SHED of which G. J. Taylor
is editor, doesn't appear to think very
highly of the abortive recall agita
tion that is being desperately foster
ed by seme few people who have
axes to grind. The last issue of Th3
Pioneer says:
- "The petition for the recall elec
tion which is being circulated in this
county has not met with a very
warm reception in this section. There
is a general belief that there has
been nothing brought forth in facts
which would warrant the expense of
an election at this time."
Aside from this editorial comment,
The Pioneer, in its news columns,
sheds some more light upon one of
the phases of discontent and spleen
voiced recently in the county seat.
In an article referring to timber as
one of the chief assets of the Mo
lalla district, The Pioneer says:
"One great resource of this sec
tion is the timber, which must soon
be logged off and manufactured into
lumber to build a good sized city
here, is but little advertised. Archie
Young, one of the county cruisers has
just made a report of the amount of
timber standing in Sec. 18, Tp. 6 S.,
R. 3 E., and finds that there is 113
000,000 on it. This with much more
is but a short distance from Molalla
and will eventually come this way. It
can go no other. ;
"This property belongs to E. C.
Collins and was assessed last year at
a valuation of $9,600. With a valua
tion of fifty cents per thousand this
will bring the assessment to $56,500
and the additional two dollars per
acre will make the total assessment
$57,780. If the levy is figured at
twenty mills this will make an ad
ditional tax from this section of
$936.60. As the cost of cruising this
property was $51.20 it looks like a
very good investment for the county. '
The Pioneer is a representative pa
per in its territory, and usually re
flects the opinions ana ieeiing oi ita
citizens. Apparently there is no
wild enthusiasm, then, in that dis
trict, for the "spite recall movement."

SANITATION.
The warfare of this age fs against
disease germs, dirt and insanitary con
ditions. We .swat the fly, drain the swamp,
clenri up the refuse heaps and back al
leys, get rid of the breeding grounds
and carriers of microbes.
This is all good, wholesome and nec
essary, only it has not gone far enough.
It has not gone far enough in a
physical way. The whole nation should
take up the crusade and literally clean
house.
But especially
it has not gone far enough in a met'
tal way. We should have sanitary
thoughts.
Nor has It gone far enough in a mor
al way. We must lead clean lives. We ,
must do this for reasons of public
health if for no higher considerations.
We must get disease not only out of
our back yards, but out of our jninds.
We are coming more and mdre to
recognize the value of the factor of
psychology. We are doing this in busi
ness, in the school and in our sizing up
of our fellow men. We must also do
it in the matter of health.
Alan is not solelv or chief
MORNING ENTERPRISE, " SUNDAY, MAY 18,
Horace Greeley ouce said. "The way to resume Is to resume:" .
In this II G was right He usually was.
The way to do anything Is to do that thing.
For example- -
THE WAY TO BOOM IS TO BOOM
This does not mean running around rircles and yelling your head oft.
The only thing boomed by that metnod Is the dippy house -The
way to boom a town Is by Intelligent and united effort
. .Organize a board of trade, a commercial club or some
similar body whose chief business it shall , be to make the
little town j.ow.
Dse printer's Ink and Uncle Sam's postofflce.
TALK for the town. WRITE letters for the town, get the local papers to
ROOT for the town. .
Write to individuals and .firms seeking a new location. Tell them what
advantages this burg has to offer.
Publicity Means Progress.
Let the world know this town is on the map.
His mentality Is the distinctive and
dumimitiug thing in his makeup.
Therefore the sanitary movement
must include this most important part.
It must Be riot only of the outside, but
of the inside.
The mind has a greater control of the
body than any of us has perhaps re
alized. Why ennnot this control be
used for health?
In the last analysis this Is a matter
for each individual. It should not be
left to practitioners who ply their trade
for money. It should be a thing of
common knowledge and common prac
tice. We should get over our fear of
imaginary things. There Is nothing to
be afraid of except ourselves.
All the good of the universe Is for
us if we are for the good of the uni
verse. We suffer only what we our
selves create. If it seems otherwise
we have not looked far enough. We are
more complex beings than we realize,
and the causes in us may reach back
farther than we imagine. We mani
fest that which' we are. We live out
that which we have fashioned.
The only thing for ns is to get in
harmony with the mental, moral,
physical and human law. We must
think health, tightness, success, whole
ness on every plane and faith in each
other and in the soul of things.
Let ns have sanitary surroundings by
all means. But let us also have sani
tary minds. v
Voices of Maine and Virginia,
Commenting on the manner of speech
in different parts of this country. Ar
thur E. Bostwick in "The Different
West" has this to say:
"The p'easantest qualities of voice
that we have are to be found in Maine
and Virginia slow and distinct in
enunciation, sweet in intonation. In
neither st:ite are children taught in the
schools how to speak. The persons
who talk as I have described are never
in a hurry (south of Washington and
north of Boston time has no value),
and they would not be accounted typi
cal Americans of the "hustling' variety.
Is it possible that a rasping, metallic,
high pitched intonation has some con
nection with business energy?"
The Hottest Stars.
The temperature of seventy stars
have been calculated by Dr. 'H. Ro
senberg, a German astronomer, from
comparisons of the differences of in
tesity iu different portions of the sun's
spectrum. One star, Gamma Pegasi,
seeais to have the inconceivable heat
of more than 400.000 degrees C. The
next is much cooler. Gamma Cassi
opeia, at ."0.000 degrees, but this is
vastly hotter than Alpha Tauri. the
coolest, at 11.150 degrees. By the same
scale of coinputatiou the teniperature
of our sun is found to be 4.930 degrees.
The hottest stars are the helium stars
and those showing bright hydrogen
lines in their spectra.
He Remembered.
