One ol the most interesting chapters in our political history is that which traces the growth of centralized power in general or federal government. At the formation of the constitution the creation of a supreme central government was widely regarded as a grave menace to the lights of the several states and possibly to the liberties of the people. To preserve these intact and yet create a central government with ample and enduring powers was no easy problem, but it was ac complished by the franiers of the constitution. The rights of the states, or stite rights, as we better knew it, was not then a sectional doc trine. It was held in Massachu setts as tenaciously as in South Carolina ; in Rhode Island as firmly as in Georgia. It therefore followed that the growth of cen tralization, constantly watched by jealous eyes, was slow, in deed. Yet there was a steady growth of the idea that the led--eral government should be recog nized as the ultimate and domin ating government for the whole land. The result of secession was to crystalize this idea, and todav we find the representatives of all the people joining in mak .iu'j; possible the exercise of pow ders by the federal government which would have been denied to it not many years since. Even in the south, where state rights -were longest and most bravely d.-ttndtd, but two aged senators tnike ciiynified protest against ""such usurpation of power." The powers of government will yet be more centralized, but some time a point will be reached beyond which we dare not ad--vai;ce. S.iall our st3te;meu be wise enough to recognize this point ? IDLE RICH. The Thaw-White tragedy in New York City and the conse quent publicity given to the sort of life led by the . participants and their associates is revolting in the extreme. But it is no new thing and need surprise no observant and thoughtful person . Wealth and idleness have always produced such characters and caused such conditions in society. The hist ory of mankind from Herodotus to the present emphasises the corrupting, corroding influences exerted upon men, and nations as well by wealth and idleness. It was this combination that wrought the decline and fall of the Roman Empire. It was not simply ihe enervating influences of luxury that destroyed Rome, bu- rather was it those social vices which ever sarins from the combination of wealth and idle ness. The iile rich violate more of tl:e laws of God and men than do r on G.A.SEELEY J. T CRESON B. D.Arnold all other classes of society. Wealth is not the condition which gives this resultant, but idle ness. It is true now as when austere old Dr. Watts wrote it: "Satan finds some mischief still for idle hands to do." The remedy for the mischiefs of idleness is chiefly in the hands of parents- They must instil the minds of their chil dren with horror for idleness and. self-indulgence. They must teach them the true ' nobility of labor and. have them learn that there is no measure of success attainable without earnest, per sistent work. Genius alone will not score success, nor can wealth purchase it. Fortunate, indeed, the young man who has these adventitious aids, but most for tunate if with them he have honestty and untiring industry. It seems inexplicable, almost that the children of most worthy parents should become such worse than miserable failures. Pittsburg never had a more up right, respected and public-spirited citizen than William Thaw, father of Harry. The elder children were reared under more careful parental control and they were deservedly and highly re spected. Accumulating business cares on part of the father and the demands of society as per mitted by the mother placed the training ot the younger children in the hands of servants who had no interest in and probably little fitness for their work. It is but another demonstration of the truth that parents may not shirk their parential obliga tions nor delegate them to others and hope to escape humiliation and disgrace because of the vicious conduct of their neglect ed children. Truly "he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent." A GROWING NUISANCE. What business is it of any body's what President Roosevelt eats? Why should anyone' be concerned whether the president breakfasts on hard-boiled eggs or frogs' legs? And yet the newspapers of the east have been discussing this matter of late. The' number of courses in dulged in by members of the ex ecutive's household has also been chronicled. Whose business is this? This matter was carried to a point of ridiculousness, and the president, in order to protect himself and family, was compell ed, finally, to give the public a statement of what he and his family ate. It would seem that the ten dency of tli s people to become meddlers is growing rapidly. This matter of diet as concerns the president but illustrates the inquisitiveness of certain indi viduals that infest every com munity. They are eternally pry ing into the affairs of their neigh bors, sticking their noses into matters that concern them not, and the pity is that the self- respect of those thus imaosed r i -j -i k i- fv - upon forbids them breaking the proboscis Of the partv thrusting f . . ., 1C into provinces to Whicn It U uninviced- Even the president is subjected to the annoyance.

Mr. and Mrs, Avert Vanderpool of Veils returned home the tore part of the week from Sulphur Springs where they had been spending a few days camping.

The graduating exercises held at the Palestina church June 28 were well atten ded. The program wae good and well rendered. Most of the graduates took part and did well. Since Linn county has gone dry it is feared by some that Soap Creek may do likewise as there are many inhabitants scattered up and down her classic banks who now take freely from her healing waters who wtre neverknown to indulge therein before. There is an abundance of bay in the country, and the wonder is, what will be done, with it? Most every farmer has plenty and some to spare and if people who' are in need of hay do not have plenty next winter they will have no one to blame but themselves. Frank 'Brush wound up work in his hop yard Saturday evening and paid off the hands who had been helping in the yard for the last three months. His hopds are looking hoe and from present indica tions there will beau abundant harvest when the autuain days come.
