We jnnl simply hold our breath in tear of what will happen to the com munity whin he dies. Of coins; everything will go to smash, Of course!

We would prohibit by law the printing of a thief's name. Give him a number as soon as he is ar rested. We would make It impossible for his picture to appear outside of tht "rogues' gallery." We would have the trial occur in a barred court room. And we would quit the use of "romatic" words. pucU as bandit, gunman and the like. Let's call stealing, STEALING, and a thief, a THIEF. And as for gunmen, they are mere ly common murderers. Also coward ly curs, because, in I holdup. I hey shool unarmed, defenseless people.

As you live, lend a ray of sunshine each day, for some day, you likewise, will be old. Why not? I recall a storm of Nov. 21, 1886 that lists this as a mild dew. The snow stood level with the eaves. Tunnels were bored instead of paths. Juniper canon was a stream about the size of the Umatilla river as spring time. Herds of antelope starved. Imigrants moving west over the imigrant trail endured much suf fering, losing both cattle and horses. A crust formed and the rabbits mov ed in to the river to teed on the wil lows, the only thing left for them. They came by the thousands.

We arc given to thinking that the present is always the worst, but how short lived is memory, and may we be thankful for the same. 1 Did you read where Congress fin ally passed the tax bill? It will re luce the taxes as follows: Perfumes, six millions; art works, one million; lollypops and all-day uckers, eight million; thermos bot tles, two hundred thousand; excess profits lax, two hundred and sixty million; furs, nine million; electric tans, three hundred thousand; per fumed soaps, two million; chewing gum, one million; baling .wire, fifty cents. I can see you squint, and vour eyes glint in search for the granger reduction of this tax. Be of good cheer. No scented soap ever squalled wood ashes and lye when properly blended, and your child ov gets the penny all day sucker for one-half penny.
