THE FUTURE.
"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.

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

THE FAILURrS.
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.

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!

"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.

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.
