SOCIAL REFORMERS who want society organized, on the communal plan start with a most attractive idea. The world is tending to ward democracy, the equal rights of everybody In everything there is for human comfort and welfare. But it is certain to occur to many people that the change from private ownership to communal ownership would not make a very radical difference in the distribution of the good things of life, yet It might lessen the production of things, and in the end the mass would not be the gainer. For at least a century democracy has had a fair swing and progress has been made under sharp private competition. Under the reign of competition the distribution has grown wider and wider, and now, when competition is fiercest, the distribution is the most liberal In the history of the modern world. Everybody shares in about everything that is of real importance in life. Steam power was a wonder worker when applied to commercial ac tivities. Electricity supplements steam as a power and also furnishes il lumination. There are few people In this country today who are not benefited by steam or electricity, or both. Yet no community Invented these forces. Individuals wrought out the wonders. The nobleman and lord of ancient days had at command no such agents of power as the laboring man has today. A hundred years ago musical instruments were the property of the few. Today almost every cottage has one or more musical instruments. The phonograph gives to the humblest toiler today what a lord of the past could not have had even by pawning his realm. The communal plan would make the phonograph the property of everybody that is, if there should be a phonograph when the distribu tion takes place. Perhaps there would be none, and none of the various inventions which contribute so much to the world's progress and com fort. Inventors' royalty is about all that stands in the way of making the phonograph and other like inventions as cheap and common as the advocates of communal ownership think they should be. But if Edison, for Instance, were to offer to forego his immense royalties, provided his physical burdens should be shared pro rata by every user of his Inventions, would be public take him up? Here Is the idea in a nutshell. Things that count in our lives are cheap considering what it has cost somebody to produce them. Money doesn't stay with the individual now as It once did, perhaps. The reason is that money will purchabe so much that is worth having for the work it will do. Formerly all kinds of machines, all kinds of books, of pictures, of works of art, fortunate few could have them. Now these things are common, they are cheap, and almost everybody has all they need and can use. J. P. Morgan gets no more delight looking at a plcuro which costs him a fortune than does the man who buys a reproduction of it for a dollar or two may be less. Morgan owns it, of course owns its fictitious value but may never see It more than half a dozen times In his life, for he doesn't live in his picture galleries. The other owner ses his copy every day, if he wants to, and Is the possessor of whatever After all, there may be a fallacy In this idea that a distribution of ownership will Increase happiness. The wider distribution of things, the infinite multiplication of rare and good things, bringing them within the reach of the purses of the mass, hasalready revolutionized life within a century. The end of this process of multiplication and. distribution is not In sight, and it may reasonably be questioned whether the competitive system is, as. some contend, inadequate to give everybody a square deal in everything necessary to human happiness.

Friday of each week. Exceptions will be allowed only In cases where events occur later than the time mentioned.) Sunset Bay. Life with Its duties, life with its play Is only a trip to Sunset Bay. Over the thorns with the cruel stings Over the turf where the sweet bloom springs, Down through the vale, where the cool rills run, Over the sands in the scorching sun. All of the tolling, all of the play Will end with a night at Sunset Bay. Take up the Durden, march bravely along, Cheer up the heart with a prayer and a song; Labor with fervor and strive with a zest, Knowing the Journey Is ending in rest. Life hath its sunshine, Life hath Its rain, Life hath its crosses. Life hath its gain; Life hath its pleasures, Life hath its play But Life Is a trip to Sunset Bay. Over, just over the Sunset hills, Is the Beach of Rest where the tem pest stills. Where turbulent storms of woe ne'er break, And weary souls may of peace par take. Over the thorns with their cruel stings, Over the path where the sweet bloom springs, Life with Its duties, Life with Its . . Play Is only a trip to Sunset Bay. THEY COST so little and they are worth so much, the little cour tesies of life. Perhaps no one will ever know how much. A pleasant look a cheery morning, that is all but it brightens the day for the poor soul whom, let us not say chance, but providence, has thrown in our way. So many little things that we may do for others every day. They may not always recehe the "Thank you," to which they are entitled, though that is spoken oftener than would be believed. Other people notice it and though those things ought not to be 'lone just because of the satisfaction which comes from doing what is felt to be the thing to do, that is a fai; better motive than many another. There is no place where these lit tle courtesies are more neglected, and yet where they should be prac ticed the most, than In the home. Exactly because we love our own the best Is the reason why we should be most polite when no strangers are around us. It is partly the fault of our Anglo-Saxon habit of repression, partly a half-ashamed feeling lest we allow ourselves to give way to our emotions, that keeps us from letting each other know how strong is the bond between us. Not only the elders, but the chil dren, are to be envied who live In a home whose atmosphere is marked by little graceful acts of courtesy. The meeting at the door, the goodby when father or sons leave the house, the slippers ready by the hearth, the pulling forward of the easy chair for father or mother, the readiness to run on errands, the saving steps for others, these and a thousand more mark the happy home. The Beautiful America Club of North Bend, held its annual meeting at the Chamber of Commerce hall last Tuesday afternoon. It was the first meeting of the season, but thoro was a fair attendance.
