' REGARDING BABIES. Last Monday evening, in an address delivered before the Na; tional Congress of Mothers, Pres ident Roosevelt was very out spoken- In his characteristic and sincere style he paid a glowing tribute to ' "ideal home" life j painted a picture, perhaps, that represented his own happy state. He scored childless wives and talked of race suicide, and there is much truth in what he stated, but is it the "whole truth, and nothing but the truth ?' Among other things, he said ; ' Bm the man or woman who deliberate ly foregoes t hpse blessings, whether from vicii'isnpss. coldness, shallow-hearted-nes sdt-indiihsence, or mvre failure to appif.inte aright the difference between , the ail-imjiopiant, and the unimportant why, surii a creature merits contempt, as heartv a any visited upon the soldier who riiua av.-y iu battle, or upon the man who refuses to ck Jfor the support of thn dependent upon him. and who though ablebodied is yet .content to eat I I11 idleness the bread which Others provide. Quite true in part; All true, evidently, from the President's view. Good parents do not al ways have good children, and it is a. pity that some people are parents-. For the good of the wnrlrl and themselves as well, lit 7 - were better had some people never seen the light of day. As a ceneral thine the children of very wealthy .parents do not prove anything to boast about These children usually have their every whim gratified and seldom develop any real object in life. ' They are so far removed : from the . majority of their fellows that they are not in sympathy . with them and cannot render really intelligent assistance in the affairs of mankind. So it is patent that we cannot depend up on parents of the wealthy class to provide even their proportion of the brawn and muscle neces sary to make the world waff- It almost brealcs bur hearts to advocate "swarming" a hive of children upon a man so poor that you can count his bones. Here you will find a', father whose frame, is of gristle, with a mind all grit; a mother meek and low ly , smothering a temper capable ' of rash things, her only means of, recreation baby-spanking. And the babies ? They ; are the sufferers, and, of their kind and stationthere are enough. ; Their hardships commence with spank ing before they can talk; as they grow oiaer eacn DaDy Deeomes 11 1 T 1 1 guardian, , or tender, for the one - just younger. When old enough to gather chips they are sent out to work for what they can get. This brings us to ; a considera tion of the middle class here we have iC ( One ' can come nearer estimating the value of the mid- . die-class parent's progeny than any other.. The temptation, dis sipation and idleness of wealth do not cut a figure; nor does wretchedness and despondency of extreme poverty take the heart out of the sons and daughters of parents in the middle walks of - life. Crime and viciousness - come from every source at times; and again we , are surprised at the nobility of men and women who came upon earth under the hard est conditions , It is not best that some children ; are born) hence, it is a good thing that some people are hot. parents. The sons and daughters of great men and women are seldom heard of, and if they, are, it is generally because they disgraced their parents. Once in awhile a father may be all right and yet have no children for Instance, George Washington, the "father of his country." ' In the main, the children of men and - women are good and there is no danger of the supply running out on account of a strike, or any other latter day idea, i There is really no, trouble to be expected from this quarter. The great difficulty is so to man age the affairs of our great coun try that all may live as good citi zens and have plenty to do where by the comforts of life may be earned. KNOWS THE GAME. It is pretty, hard to be good at any time, but of late things are getting so . badly . mixed that 'good" and "bad" seemto "kind run together." The line di viding good from evil is becom ing so dim . as tne world grows older that an X-ray might not ocate it . It seems ' 'there's noth ing good nor bad but thinking makes if so." - Now comes Professor William Kirby, who relieves his mind with the declaration that 'theo retically gambling lis legitimate. He says that constitutional gam biers are men wb eramble for gains that they may be enabled to play more, and states there is an element of chance in all bus iness. We admit tnat we are trifle ' 'rattled' ' over the matter, but even in our contusion we would knpw better than to sit , in a game of "poker" with the pro fessor. Large Property Changed Hands. Last Monday, James Iewis negotiated the sale of the C. A. Finsky place ' to Stephen Merrick. Mr. Merrick is comparatively new arrival in this county, having come to Benton some three or lour months aeo liom usceoia, JNeo. At present he is living at Philomath, where he has his family domicil ed. : The place Mr. Merrick has purchased is- situated adjoining the big prune - orchard of the Benton County Prune Company near Granger, half way between this city and Albany. . The farm is very choice sort ; of cream-of the-valley kind and contains 280 acres. The negotiations for it were commenced last Saturday and concluded on Monday. . It was a cash transaction and $16,- 000 changed hands. ".- This is a fine place beyond a doubt- If the weather continues favorable the prospects are there will be m the neighborhood of 4,000 bushels ot wheat and 3, 000 bushels of oats oh the farm this year. . Besides this, it is estimated . that . there will be something . like 60 tons of hay produced. This buy and the price paid indicates that land is increasing in value in this coun- ty." Mr. Merrick is reputed to be a very well-to-do man. He still owns 400 acres of land in Ne braska. He is quite an enter prising gentleman, of good edu cation and pleasing address. In short, a man who is , a credit to any community, . and very wel come anvwhere. He does not get possession of the farm he has lust purchased until the 1st of next October. It is not known if he will farm the place Orrent it. . . -V"..- CASTOR I A For Infants and Children.
