Uncle Sam's busy chemists in
Washington have decided that cheap
paper can be made from sorn-staiks.
We have long known that wrapping
paper ia manufactured out of old rags,
that the back fence can be turned in
to perfumed and tinted stationery,
and that newspapers are made of
primeval forests and damaged repu
tations. Now they tell ns that a com
mon rural nuisance is an asset that
some day every fanner can be his
own paper trust
The proposition from Washington
is music to onr ears. The disappear
ance of our forests and the machina
tins of the Paper Trust have made
the price of paper soar like a Wright
aeroplane. At the rate we are going
now paper is destined to be beyond
the reach of ordinary mortals paper
railroads will cost more than real
ones, and paper-soled shoes will be a
luxury which only the rich can en
joy. If something isn't done about it,
a day may come when the Sunday
newspaper will be no larger than the
atlas of the world, and magazines will
cost so much to get out that there
will be no room for the advertise
ments.
But It seems we are to be saved
from these awful possibilities. With
every farmer growing cookbooks and
car-whels and fire-proof theatre cur
tains in the vacant lot behind the
barn, there is little danger of a world
wide famine in paper.

FIRST fif A SERIES
OF FINE PAPERS
The Morning AstorUn is present
ing tim morning tne nrsi ox a kwi ;
of fine papers written by Dr. B. !
Owens-Adair, of this county, on the
subject of her proposed legislation in
behalf of human' steriliiation and the
mitigation of all physical and mental
and moal perversion, and the crim
inal tendency generally, in human ao
ciety, . There will be I number of
these diring the winter and they will
be of exceeding interest and even
concern to this people and to those
in a constantly growing field that
must eventually become world-wide.
The plea set up by Clatsop's most
excellent citucenes and clever pro
fessional representative sounds on
its initial utterance to .the unexpect
ing ear harsh and radical, an extrem
ity even; bat the more it is consid
ered in the light of the need for some
efficacious remedy for the ills of
"the flesh and the devil", the more It
recommends Itself to the intelligent
and humane principle in man and
woman, and will. If cultivated, and
reduced to its simplest and best ex
pedience of application and method,
become one of the cardinal rules of
a better, freer, and nobler exigence.
The communication reads as follows:
"To the F.ditor Two year ago t
called upon the Legislature of Ore
gon to enact a law to prevent a fur
ther propogation of criminal idiots j
and insane through sterilisation. A j
e vri are the community would '
have been shocked by the mere men
tion of snch a process, but we are
rapidly growing broader and wiser, j
Even the common people are being
ducated up to a reasoning stand
point through our public schools one
of the strong arms of our nation
hich is reaching out and taking in
all that is in reach that will benefit
the young.
"The rapid increase of insanity and
vicious elements is simply appalling:
the penitentiaries. Insane asylums,
reform schools and homes for , all
kinds of defections has not only be
come a borden to our emraon wealth
but a menace as well and if allowed
to proceed, where will it end? This
is a pitiful calamity, one which every
thinkinar man and woman under
stands tnd for which a remedy must
be found. I realise that this is a
delicate subject fo handle and for
that reason it has not heretofore
been brought before the public, but
it must be bandied without gloves,
from a scientific point, which Is only
common sense extended. T have no
fears but it will stand upon its own
merits, only let in the light , of rea
son and the clouds of prejudice and
ignorance will disappear.
"This remedy will bring untold
hliuinn to the unfortunates them
selves both in health and disposition.
The only loss to them would be the
power . of reproducing their kind
which should not be allowed. We all
know the effect of- sterilization on
the lower animals, they soon cease
to be viciotus and , become quite
pliable and affectionate. You may
object to this -comparison but com
parative anatomy teaches us the
truth of this assertion. It is well
known that the law of transmition
is a radical law both in animal an
human life.
"It is true that it may skip one or
even two generations but in time
will gather force and assert its power
for good or evil. So well is law ttn-

dersiood that the" majority of" tot
murders committed are defended up
on the plea of hereditary insanity.
If we had a law requiring the ster
iliiation of every criminal who made
insanity a plea for defense" the in
sanity dodge would not be so fre
quent. Look t or wn recent
trasedy. a vicious and vindicative
man deliberately walks into an of
fice and shook down a good Chris
tian man m the bloom of his useful
ness, bringing sorrow to his young
wife and baby. Had the murderer
been well bom he never could have
committed such a foul deed, And now
like Charter Thompson, the boy fiend
nf Semite, he mav be freed and al
lowed to go forth to tramsmit his
vicious blood to unborn children,
which wilt multiply and increase with
the growth of the child until some
thing happens to bring the fiery
demon to the surface and then the
explosion takes place and the fearful
shock is felt. No amount of training
or education can completely eradi
cate such hereditary traits
"Therefore, I say that every child
has a right to be well born, and no
vicious person should be allowed ti
propognte his kind by contaminating
the blood of the helpless unborn
child. Let us. put a stop to the
further hitildincr of oenitentiaric. In-

the sins that the Bible tells us are
visited upon the children to the thirl
and fourth generation. Shall we per
mit these sins to be transmitted?
Now I call upon you, our Legisla
tors, you whom the public have elect
ed to enact good wholesome laws for
the preservation and protection of
our state, I beg that yon take this
home to your hearts and then cast
your vote for your homes and the
homes of your neiglihors. Then Ore
gon will give you thanks and the un
born in time you will rise and call
you blessed. Set the example and
other states will follow.

NAME MEANS SOMETHING.
When A. E. Petersen built and
named the "Modern" barber shop, he
meant that it should stand for what
it was called. No patron has missed
a single feature of the modern ton
sorial parlor s t that house; and every
new device in the way of perfect
comrort and service is constantly add
ed as it develops. The latest is an
expert bootblack, the best in the
business; a qualification that makes
his employment really "odern.
A Personal Appeal
If we could talk to you personally
about the great merit of Foley's
Honey and Tar, for coughs, colds
and lung trouble, you never could
be induced to experiment with un
known preparations that may con
tain some harmful drugs. Foley's
Honey and Tar costs you no more
and has a record of 40 years of cures.
Mrs, McRaney't Experience,
Mrs. M. McRaney, Prentiss, Miss.,
writes: "I was confined to my bed
for three months with kidney and
bladder trouble, and was treated by
two physicians but failed to get re
lief. No human tongue can tell how
I suffered, and I had given up hope
of ever getting well until I began
taking Foley's Remedy. After tak
ing two bottles I felt like a new per
son, and feel it my duty to tell suf
fering women what Foley's Kidney
Remedy did for me." T.-F. Lau
