Every day is a fresh beginning.
Every morn Is the world made
new!
You who are weary of sorrow
and sinning,
Here Is a beautiful hope for
yo:
All the past things are past and
over,
The tasks are done and the tears
are shed, .
Yesterday's errors let yesterday
cover;
Yesterday's wounds which
smarted and bled
Are healed with the healing
which night has shed!

THE PUBLICITY CLm.
heavily to bear the burden of govern
ment. The Idle property has been enhanc
ed In value through Ihe thrift of neigh
bors. The owner of the Idle property
has escaped taxation while he has en
joyed a handsome Increase in the value
of his holdings.
Thrift is- taxed and slothfulness is
at a premium. The man who refused
to build up the town, pave streets, lay
sidewalks, erect modern buildings or
In any way advance the interests of
the community has been made rich by
the Industry of those patriotic and
energetic citizens who have given
their time, money and energy to the
upbuilding of the town.
Let us tax the Idle property Into
usefulness. Let us make the tax si
high on It that it will be cheaper to
improve It than to have it Idle.
Publicity 19 one of the best cures
known for corruption of any kind.
Few men or corporations can long
bear the light of publicity on their
wrong-doing. They begin to flinch
and defend themselves at the first
glare of the light, as the light is in
creased, they flee faster and seek hid
ing places more hurriedly.
Tbe East Oregon'an believes that it
is possible for the presi.of the north
west to break up the lumber and
building material trust if it would
persistently publish the truth about
this trust. Every city In the north
west is being held back by the extor
tions of this trust. Hundreds of homes
would now be in process of construc
tion In Oregon, Washington and Idaho
were it not for the unreasonable prices
of lumber.
Every newspaper Is interested in the
growth of its town. Whatever retards
the growth of a community is a fit
subject for editorial excoriation and In
vestigation. Let the press of the
northwest turn the light upon the
lumber trust and soon the old-t me
building activity will return with re
newed energy.
The timber land of the northwest is
practically controlled by about three
or four syndicates. These syndicates
are directly responsible for the in
crease in lumber prices. Within the
past three years the retail price of
lumber has been forced up 35 per
cent, resulting in the suspension of
nearly all kinds of building.
This is hurting the country. There
is no reason for It, except the Insatiate
grved of the trust. Lubor is not paid
any better in sawmills and logging
THE RESTLESS AMERICAN.
A. C. Ruby, the well known horse
importer, tells a story which Illustrates
the English view of the restless Amer
ican. On his last trip to England to buy
horses, Mr. Ruby went to the fine
stock farms of a large grower of
Shire stallions and after a long delay
succeeded In getting the old man
started out to the stables three miles
distant from the residence, to look
over the horses.
Mr. Ruby had but a limited tlmo In
which to visit the stables anl began
urging the English farmer to greater
speed. They were riding in a single
buggy pulled by a horse which barely
moved along the lanes.
Mr. Ruby told of his llm'ted time,
of the train which would surely lave
London at noon, of the long distance
nhead of them, but it was of no avail.
The old horse crept along, n'.ptlng the
tips of the willow limbs which hung
over the road. ; '
"Hrry, hurry," urged Mrf Ruby.
"Oh, take it easy, nun; you Americans
rush through the world as though this
were the last day. Take it easy, man;
take It easy; the same train will leave
London tomorrow precisely at noon,
and the next day, and the next. Let us
take It easy and enjoy the sight of
my growing crops," replied the com
placent farmer.
Finally despairing of getting any
more speed out of the old horse, Mr.
Ruby leaped out of the buggy and
started on foot through the fields to
ward London, which he reached just
before his train left.
When he last saw the old Engl'sh
mnn he was creeping down the lane
directing the women who were pulling
weeds from his onion beds, as leisure
ly and unconcerned as though he had
not lost a sale of $10,000 woyth of
young stallions. -

is to learn ns to the relative standing and reliability of the leading manufactur
ers of medicinal agcuU;, as the most eminent physicians are the most careful as to
the uniform quality and perfect purity of remedies prescribed by them, and it is well
known to physicians and the Well-informed generally that the California Fig Syrup
Co., by.reason of its correct methods and perfect equipment and the ethical character of
its product lias attained to the high standing in scientific, and commercial circles which
is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that the name of the
Company has become a guarantee of the excellence of its remedy.
TRUTH AND QUALITY
appeal to the Well-Informed' in every walk of life and ara essential to permanent suc
cess and creditable standing, therefore we wish to call the attention of all who would
enjoy good h.iilh, with its blessings, to the fact that it involves the question of right
living with all IVj term implies. With proper kno-.vledge of what is best each hour
of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of eiTort may be made to contribute
to that end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantage, but
as in many, instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the
proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present
truthfully the subiect and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won
the approval of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Well-informed because
of the excellence of the combination, known to all, and the original method of manufac
ture, which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only.
This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known tinder the name of
Syrup of Fins and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of
family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well
known to physicians and the Well-informed of the wofld to be the best of natural
laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
Senna as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtlessly it will always be
called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Fins and to got its beneficial effects always

The day that wears my diadem of

How blinded are the portals of my

Whatever wealth our fortune may be
