You Never Miss the Water Till the Well Runs Dry
A l’ TH O R V N K N O W N
When a child I lived at Lincoln, with my parents at the farm.
The lessons that my mother taught to me were quite a charm;
She would often take me on her knee when tired ot childish play.
And as she pressed me to her breast I ’ve heard her say:
Chorus:
‘‘Waste not, want not. is a maxim 1 would teach.
Let your watchword be dispatch, and practice what you preach;
Do not let your chances like sunbeams pass you by,
For you never miss the water till the well runs dry.
As years rolled on I grew to be a mischief making boy,
Destruction seemed my only sport, it was my only joy;
And well do I remember, when ofttimes well chastised,
How father sat beside me then, and thus has me advised:
(Chorus.)
When I arrived at manhood I embarked iu public life.
And found it was a ragged road, bestrewn with care and strife:
I speculated foolishly, my losses were severe;
But still a tiny little voice kept whispering in my ear:
(Chorus.)
Then I studied strict economy, and found to my surprise
My funds, instead of sinking, very quickly then did rise;
I grasped each chance and always "struck the iron while
hot."
I seized my opportunities and never once forgot.
(Chords.)

I ’m married now and happy, I've a charming little wife.
W e live in peace and harmony, devoid of care and strife;
Fortune smiles upon us, we have little children three;
The lessons that I teach them, as they prattle round my knee

We are to conclude, o f course, from
i
the logic of our water-veined Cottage
Grove critic, that no one should be
convicted on circumstantial evidence or
"positive identification" because Jack
Bodie was innocent and the court was
wrong. What shall we do? Quit try­
ing to send any one to the gallows or
the penitentiary unless he shall be
caught in the act? I f it is wrong to
take a man’s life on circumstantial
evidence, or "positive identification"
it is wrong to take his liberty.
It is sad to think that any innocent
man may ever be punished for a crime
he did not commit. But it is puerile
on that account to say that justice
shall be any less stern or vigorous or
uncompromising.—The Oregonian.
The Oregonian is right for once.
It is sad that anyone should be
punished for a crime of which he
is not guilty.
It is touching indeed to see this
stalwart, frozen-hearted champion
of legal butchery drop to senti­
mentality and shed a tear, though
it be a crocodile one, because some­
one has been wronged.
But if it is sad that this man has
been robbed of nine years of life,
we presume, according to the lucid
reasoning of The Oregonian, that
no harm would have been done if
the crime had lieen murder and the
man had been hung. The rela­
tives of the dead would have just
laughed at the joke on the state
and the man who had sprung the
trap could not possibly have had
any qualms of conscience, because
it was done legally and with the
full approval of The Oregonian.

If he is as capable as any man

The W est is altogether too ready
to make changes in its representa­
tives at Washington, and that is
the main reason that it has so often
failed in getting needed legislation.
The older a member of congress a
man is, the greater power he has at
Washington. That’s why the east
runs congress— its representatives
are old members who have the best
committee appointments and are
onto all the ropes. A t one time
little Rhode Island had more power
in congress than the whole Pacific
Coast country, and just for the
reason mentioned. So, if Congress­
man Hawley is doing well for us,
let’s send him back again and ena­
ble him to do better.
