cide. Either of these gentlemen will
assure their constituents that they
will enforce the laws as they appear
upon the statute books, and if the
majority of the people by their vote
say that they favor prohibition and
it becomes a law, they have the as
surance of these gentlemen that such
laws shall be enforced. If they are
honest men, this assurance should
certainly satisfy all reasonable peo
ple. If they are not honest, then all
the protestations for prohibition that
they might make would amount to
naught. The great trouble with
many candidates is they make too
many promises and when in office, if
elected, they find it impossible to
fulfill their pledges and disappoint
their constituents. There is no ques
tion but the sentiment against whis
key ¡ b growing and ere long prohibi
tion will become national.
It might be well for the prohibi
tionists to be a little more conserva
tive in this matter of pledging the
candidates. They are not so sure of
the success of prohibition yet. It is
possible that Doc Smith and Doc
Withycombe are ardent supporters
of prohibition in their hearts, yet to
publicly announce as such might de
feat them and elect some one who
was not favorable to it and would
not enforce the law should it carry.
—American Press.
Are You An Optimist?
It is very common to hear some
self-complaisant individual say, "Oh,
I’m an Optimist.” God pity them,
"for they know not what they do.”
An optimist is one that believes the
world is the best possible world, bas
ed on the theory that God, being all
wise, afl-powerful, and all-good has
meted out that which is best. So the
sunny optimist should be very care
ful not to do anything to interfere
with the Divine Plan of the Creator.
Pessimism and optimism are han
dled in a very reckless manner in
these days of wars and rumors of
wars. A real full-grown pessimist
believes that the world is going hot
foot to the dimnition bowwows and
nothing short of a miracle, Teddy
Roosevelt or Debbs can head it off;
the full-fledged optimist has an abid
ing faith that all things are as they
should be, and that Woodrow and
the Lord will take care of the rich
folks. They believe that God not
only created the universe, but is giv
ing his personal attention to the de
tails of its management. Should our
optimistic friends be afflicted with
the rheumatism, or the gout, would
they annoint the one and poultice the
other, or with sublime confidence in
the wisdom of the Creator meekly
submit?
The patient tiller of the soil who
guides the meek-eyed mule down the
cotton row and sees the boll weevil
destroy his crop, or the man watch
ing his herds and flocks sees them
die of the plague would hardly be in
line with the optimistic bunch.
To be able to look upon the sunny
side of life and withstand the knocks
of the world coming up after each
defeat with a smiling countenance is
an admirable faculty and one that
will win out in the end, yet our op
timistic friends would do well to
keep a loaded shotgun for stray dogs
and chicken-eating cats.
God gave us life and this grand
old world for a hab tat. He stored
it with that necessary for the health
and happiness of the human race and
turned it over to man. That man
has made bad use of the talents and
opportunities and brought disease
and pestilence in the world has noth
ing to do with the Plan of the Crea
tor, That we have progressed thus
far from the Dark Ages is not due to
the Optimist who believes that all is
accord with the Plan, but rather to
those whose battle cry has ever been,
“ Eternal vigilence is the price of
liberty.”
Good Roads
The citizens of Falls City are to
he commended for the extensive
street improvement campaign they
are putting on this year. There is
nothing that bespeaks thrift and
enterprise more than good roads
and streets. The work on Bridge
street very materially adds to the
api>earance of that street. I n s t e a d
of a deep gully near Hopkins ave
nue and then an abrupt hill to
climb, there is a gentle grade all
the way from the railroad crossing
to the flume on the hill. This is
but a starter for the extension of
the road to the coast. Such a road
will open up travel and bring near
to market, sections that heretofore
were almost inaccessible.
Encouraging
The following words of commen
dation from I he Oregon Messenger
of Salem is certainly appreciated and
we shall endeavor to merit them:
"A decided improvement in the
general appearance of the Falls City
News is noted since that paper
changed hands a few weeks ago, and
it is to be hoped that the people of
Falls City appreciate the change.”
