"The zenith cf our strength has been reached," croaked the dismal ones, when the panic struck us last fall. "We hare spent too freely of our portion. Now we strike the downward path." All this was because America had been reaping so richly of the fruits of the soil and digging so deeply of -he wealth that lay beneath it. And though every panic of the last cen tury has been attended by the same sort of mournfnlnes3 it seemed the truer this time, because we had been gleaning so amazingly among our re sources. The population of the United States Is 5.2 per cent of the popula tion of the world, and the land with in Its borders is 5.9 per cent of the world's area. The production of corn In America is 7S.8 per cent of all that Is produced on earth. The wheat fields last year yielded 20.7 per cent of the harvest of the globe. We grew more than 30 per cent of all the tobacco and nearly 72 per cent of all the cotton. Pig iron production was 42.2 per cent of the world's output. Though Russia Is a great competitor and wastes tremen dous quantities of the petroleum "put on the world's markets more than 62 per cent last year came from Ameri can wells. Of the world's copper production our share was more than half. Of silver, 35.5 per cent was dug from mines in this country. Seven years ago less than one-half per cent of all the sulphur was of American production, and now we control the markets of the earth with an output of 35. S per cent. Some thing more than this Is our coal out put. Over 20 per cent of all the cotton spindles are In this country, and our mileage of railroads is close upon 40 per cent. Startling figures are these when It Is remembered that our population Is under 6 per cent and our area still less. There was much to warrant on the face of It the opinion that the sum mit had been mounted and the slid ing down the other side beginning' yet only superficially. Comparison with the visible possibilities show that only a little scratching has been done, here and there. Wealth un touched, waiting for the day of need. A writer In the Review of Reviews, in the midst of the depression last spring, wrote: As our natural resources give us uncqnaled Advantages, so our geo graphical location gives us a strategic position to command the world's trade. Midway between Europe, the old world's center of civilization and activity, and the Orient, the coming center of world activity, stretching from ocean to ocean, the United Sta tus holds a unique position In the world's geography. This land of ours is nature's storehouse of wealth. More is a region unmatched on earth a country so fertile of soil, so bur dened with coal and iron and copper and other minerals that we do not have to concern ourselves for genera tions to come about their exhaustion. Consider the whole earth; study the geographical locations of nil lands, their resources In climate, In soil, In minerals, In population, and the things which make for the highest development of mauklnd. The more you study, the more you comprehend the foundation of all human advan cement, mental and ethical, the more you will be dazed at the vastness of our opportunities. No one living may paint the vision of the future of this country. It Is ocyocM the dreamer to dream. Not xlj the panics to come can dlscourago for e moment anyone who boars in mind what little has been done In proportion to what still Is to bo done in this country. The United States produced M.720.C19 lone tons of ore. valued at $131,906,147 at tho mines, last year. i T-t.--M- (Wo- , i .V ARE GHOSTS UNHAPPY While doubtjng the existence of ghosts. Professor G. Stanley Hall of Clark university, the institution which recently offered a cash prize for the capture or authentic proof of the existence of a spook, has startled telepathlsts and Investigators gener ally by announcing that if ghosts do exist they are undoubtedly unhappy what Huck Finn would call a "poor lot." After Investigating hundreds of cases. Dr. Hail Is more than ever un convinced of the existence of ghosta and In an explanation of his attitude which he contributes to Appleton's magazine cites his reasons for his position. "No ghosts were ever seen to do or say anything important," he says, "but all their reputed acts and words are so trivial as to intimate that such a life as they lead must be boresome." The president of the ghost-seeking university, in answer to the asser tions of persons who declare that they have seen ghosts, makes the novel retort that plenty of persons who have been struck on the head have seen sparks, without the sparks being in any way real. "Till com paratively recently," says he, "the whole world believed that the sun went around the earth, but this con census does not add an lota to the probability that it ever did so." "Likewise," says the university president, "it is not logical to be lieve that ghosts exist simply because some people believe in them. The list of once universal superstitions is a long one, but It does not prove anything. It is hard to realize that our Intimate friends, especially If they died suddenly and afar off, so that we did not see the corpse or the Interment, are really dead, and his has a good deal to do with cases of those supposed to return to earth." The chief result of years of investiga tion, however, leads Dr. Hall to con clude that by their manifestations, even If such manifestations be ac cepted, ghosts must be a sorrowful lot, a statement which shows the pos sibilities for the formation of a so ciety for the amelioration of the con dition of spooks. UPHOLD STATEMENT NO. 1. It is quite evident that those who are seeking to discredit the Oregon primary law and especially statement No. 1 will not be successful. There are too many republicans who be lieve that It Is not only a just law, but that If the people desire Cham berlain to represent them in the senate they should have him. If they do succeed In getting representa tives to violate their pledges there will be nothing but discredit accru ing. Those who have been drawing satisfaction from the supreme court decision adverse to the North Da kota primary law now find that It Is not analogous to the Oregon law. The former demanded an oath from legislators to support primary selec tions contrary to the constitution of the United State3. In Oregon It Is a voluntary pledge that is asked, and a man taking the pledge should in honor keep it, but he is not com pelled to do so. Myrtle Point En terprise. ROOST FOR COOS COUNTY. The proposal to effect a Coos coun ty organization of commercial clubs is most commendable, and should be favored by every citizen of the 'county desiring progress. There are many matters for commercial club effort that call for united action as the entire county is concerned, and the county as a unit can do much more than through separate organizations. For one thing, there is the matter of good roads. In this Douglas county is now thoroughly organized, and Coos should be prepared to meet her In the work of bettering the high ways. There Is also the matter of advertising at the Seattle exposition; the promotion of railway connection with tho outside world; the devel opment of our agricultural resources and other natural wealth, and many other matters that can and will be accomplished if the county gets to gether and works In unity. Myrtle Point Enterprise. Cuba's output of molasses this year will not fall short of 40,000,000 gallons. The tidal rise and fall on the Pa cific side of the Isthmus of Panama is about ten times as much as on the Atlantic.

We -who have failed, remember thii of us O you whose hands hare grasped the luminous And lorely thing that your soul desired. Though once we fell and blundered on the way. Though now we turn shamed face3 from the day. Remember this, that once we, too, aspired. We who havo failed through weak ness or surmise. Be gentle with us If we turn our eyes Sometimes from sight of those vic torious. Crowned and exultant on the farthest height. Seeing that once we watched our arms by night. Seeing that pnee we dreamed to triumph thus. We who have failed in life and love and task. Surely not overmuch this gift we ask. Be not too scornful, you whose glorious Undaunted souls pressed on through flood and fire Of those too weak to grasp a great desire. We who have failed, remember this of us. Selected. Christmas Time. In the blue of the golden weather. Ah, why should we dream of woe! On the sunny side together, It is up and let us go! For the sunny side Is laughter, And the lure of the lightheart gleam, With song and the sweet thereafter, Sleep, and a little dream! In the blue of the golden weather, With the mist of the gold above, On feet that are light as feather, It is up and away, my love! For the sunny side is gladness, And lilies that lead to light; We have had enough of sadness, We have known too much of night! Selected. "When I get a hair cut, I am never able to hold my head to suit the bar ber." The man who amounts to nothing, usually resents It when another man does. When you find a man who knows It all he Isn't a very pleasant com panion. There is a close relationship be tween the appearance of success and Its reality. There -are as many stories told on a jealous w.oman as there are on one who flirts. In attention to details has prevent ed the rise of many a good, but care less fellow. Every man In business should be optimistic. It Is necessary to have that quality to succeed. A woman may have a good memory for faces, but she Is more likely to have a good memory for hats. There Is nothing that will help out Christmas trade so much as good hard work and good advertising. When a new woman moves to town do the other women call on her to get acquainted or to look at her house? Did anyone ever apologize to telephone girl? We Imagine an awkward girl ways feels worse about It than awkward boy. al an When You Aro Tired. Don't grit your teeth and work harder. Ease up a little. Don't talk any more than you can help. Talking takes vitality. Don't read anything in which you are not Interested. Don't feel that everything must be done in one day. There are 364 more. Realize that It Is better to leave things undone than overdo yourself. Avoid people and their woes at that time. Seek some one frivolous. Don't try to Improve yourself.
