Affairs are not always adjust ed as it is reasonable to expec they should be. For instance Cyrvallis property owners fehouk be granted a Tar better "r&te o? insurance again? t fire than thej recoivr. Notwithstanding th fact that during the past year s fme mountain water system hss been established in this city there has been no di (Terence in ti.. rate of insurance' charared.' Th haspiovcd a disappciV.tment to niHisv, among who n &s. : former strong advocates oft;;, eiblish.nent of tb.3 new tern. 'Vnd, iirk't'il, they have reason to feel disappointed, for it was but ra.- )nabl i to expect t;i with greaser lira protection i.h premium on a fire risk would be les ened. It is fair figuring u ree'eon that th2 smaller the risk tiit; chcMjjcr it would be But while Corvallis has a water sys tem ftuca as is enjoyed by bet few citi-js of her size there ha Leo i no d ecrease in the cose o insurance since the inauguration of s:dd water system. YVe'v. got a howl coming on this head. Why not make a sort of stand against what is evidently an un fair deal? The people of almost, any community can do wonder. if .hey will but stand as a unit on a given proposition. This is true. So wiiy noc organize a lo cal fire iasuranaee company 01 oar very own? There is no rea son why if the master is properly handled the business men of this city, and property owners gen erally, shouid not be able to carry adequate insurance among themselves and thus become in dependent o foreign companies who make no diiierence in rates of insurance whether your water protection be first class or third rate- . ' 1 v. A few evenings ago some of our representative men were dis cussing the matter and a senti ment m favor of a home com pany was in evidence- In regard to why the rate of our insur ance was not decreased, as was expected on the completion of tiie new system, the opinion of tht.se gentlemen seemed general that the San Francisco disaster had sjrne bearing on tiie case. Be tins as it may, a little self help is a good thing at any time and is a mighty good thing to use in forcing a .square deal. HOW ABOUT THE RACE? In these days of so-called high er education and general enlight enment there are yet many evils needing correction. We either do nut stop to think, or thinking, conclude to let "the other fel low" apply the remedy. In the propaj tion of man's kind there is less atttniion paid than to the breeding of hogs. No stock ra ser who has enough common sense to succeed in his business would think of breeding inferior animals. Not so with the human race. Here we find every sort of mix up, good and bad blood (there is nothing personal in this) men tal weakness as well as physical in both men and women. Moral degeneracy cannot hope to pro duce, as the hope of a union, anything less than like degener ates perhaps criminals of the won.t type. There is much in the saw that "like begets like," therefore is it not reasonable to assume that m:re care should be exercised in selling marriage certificates? These little bits of bond paper or artificial parch ment cost only two or three dol lars,, but they make possible, in i i fact.; legalize and legitimatize the birth of a being that may ;ost the commonwealth dearly and who finally swings from the gallows or becomes an inmate of a convicts' cell for all the days he shall live. Some people are responsible for these conditions. Really, those of sane mind are responsible for all conditions, jsocial and cither wise, and cannot hope to shirk the duty of being the keepers of those mentally, physically and morally weak. That there is too little attention paid to the fitness of the contracting parties in the matter of marriage is all too true. Those who are looked upon as an authority in these matters de clare in strongest terms that the race in some respects is retro grading. If such be true there can be but two causes for the decadence, unfit marriage and he mode of living in vosue. It is hard to tell which way the wind blows in California on some problems. .Of late there nas been great agitation in our sister state regarding the exclu sion of the Chinese and Japan ese, particularly , the- latter. From what has been given out the impression likely to be estab lished in the minds of persons not versed in California affairs -vould be that the people of that state were almost a unit against Asiatics. Such a view is discred ted by the action of the State federation of Labor in session last week in Stockton, Calif ornia. The Federation refused to endorse the action of the Humboldt county boycotters against Japanese and Coreans and all persons who employ them. Another resolution com mending the action of labor unions in Humboldt county in driving out Chinese who had been shipped in also was voted down. This shows a somewhat strange change in the sentiment of the California Federation of Lahor. Real Estate Transfers. H Hirschberg to Benton Coun ty Lumber Co, So acres sv of Philomath; $i.

He gave the office force to undersland that if he did not re ceive his paper promptly at seven o'clock on Friday morning he didn't want it at all. We are very sorry that he was disappointed last week in not get ting it on time, but we are la boring under a load of care that would break the back of even the Perfect man. We are glad how ever that he called and told us how to get the paper out on time at all times. In our humble way we try to do things to suit such individuals. We are well aware that the Fernet man is never late io his meals, that he is al ways kind to his wife, ? that be blankets, his horses . when he comes to town on a cold ' day, that he curries his cows before breakfast and always washes their udders before milking so that no filth can get into the milk, that he never waters .. the milk he sells his neighbors, that he never swears, that he never gets but of patience under any circumstances, that he doesn't drink, gamble or use tobacco in any form; in fact he is the Per fect man. If we ; have omitted anything please notify lis by re turn mail. Ex. "Old" Young People. The number of 4,o"d" young girls and boys nowadays is some thing absolutely amazing. Ever notice them, as you go about your daily work and mingle With the crowds here and there? Il not, try it. , The girl of ten or twelve dress ed as a young lady, posing as a young lady and. aping the ways of the grown-up; all the inno cent girlishness gone and in its stead a worldy air, a knowing look from the eye aud a brazen smirk on the lips, while a couple of these mere .babies will carry on a conversation with the great est animation about 'he said," "we went," 4,my fellow" and so on, until the listener turns away in disgust. And as it is with the girls, so with the young boys. Smoking, chewing, swearing, passing vul gar comments about the opposite sex; frequently going to places where some men would hesitate to be seen so goes the young boys of the day. As the scenes pass before one, day after days, the querry arises, "How long can present condi tions last? and will the day ever come when our girls and boys will remain mere girls and boys until they assume long dresses and shed their" Buster Browns?" Made Many Visits. Major T. S. Clarkson, special commissioner of th? Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition has re turned to Seattle after visiting every state in the union iu the interest of the World's fair. He reports thst everywhere he went much interest was maniiested in 'he exposition of 1909 and in the Pacific Northwest. The object of Major Clarkson's rrip was to inform the governors if t'ne different common wealths tho it the plan and scope of th xp fsition and to extend to them an invitation to p-jrtiripate.
