Wednesday, Feb. 27, 1907 The citizens and tax payers of our city must select a mayor aDd council in a short time. Kverybody should yote, if they don't they ought to. It is feared that there will be several tickets in the field from which the voters must select their choice, but be as it may, it is a free country, everyone has its friends, but when the batile is over would'nt it be fine if the winning Bide could receive the best hand and congratulation of those who lost. It ia sometimes the duty oi voters to select the man best quali fied for the particular office and best interest of the city, An active legitimate, gentlemanly strife for the honors is good and healthy for the city. It is believed that on these lines the spring campaign will be conducted in Cottage Grove. The young men of Cottage Grove have shown a commendable spirit in their move to secure fo our city a company of the Oregon Nationa Guards. It is their loyalty to home state and aud country that has in spired their action, more names were signed to the application than is required to form a company and all were secured without solicitation and at short notice. The roll con tains the names of a list of young men that any community might be proud of. In build, character and bravery many of these" applicants have already been proven fit timber for Btalwart officers. The Nu?fret compliments the state officers on their opportunity to secure for the state an additional company such as is offered by Cottage Grove. The Oregonian don't like the per sonel of the Railroad Commission. The Oregonian has had to swallow several things they did'nt like the $ast few years. . In the obituary notice of the late lamented Yoncalla Courier, Editor Brown frankly confesses he had only nine paid up subscribers, and adds: "AS to circulation the pa per had none." We would like to know if this statement conforms to the affidavit Mr. Brown filed in the U. S. laud office at Koseburg when he asked for and received a number of land notices that rightfully be longed to this paper aud the Drain Nonpareil. Oakland Owl. Those "statesmen at Salem who desire to see the state go back to cannibalism by tearing down the ochools have'nt as much intelligence as a grasshopper. A grasshopper has sense enough to jump forward, but if all the sense those fellows have, combined, were put into a grasshopper, it would jump buck wards instead of forwards. Drain Nonpareil. The Koseburg Review has just issued a splendid 16-page speci&l edition, containing a world of val uable information about Douglas. It is rather misleading, however, to use au old boom cut of Koseburg bowing the Coob Bay railroad be- ing built from Roscburg, instead of from Drain. Nonpareil. THE EYE AND ITS CARE Uy Dr. Franc Ludle Hard. Rooms 1-t Chrisman luilding, Kugcno. 3. Cry&taline lens. VRKSBtoriA OR VAII INV. VISION With advancing ae ninny chaugestake place in the body. This is most apparent in the eye. Begiuuing very young the near point, that is, the closest point at which one can clearly sec, gradually grows farther from the eyes. This change is culled Presbyopia and is not pcrceptable to us uutil the age forty-five or later, when we notice that to see print or sewingthe work has to be held farther from tlie eyes than is convenient or comfortable; and even then objects do not seem quite as clear as they should This is not adiseaso but purely a physi ological condition. At birth, the crystaline lens is very soft but as ago advances it grows harder until a time comes when it gets too hard to be relaxed by ciliary muscle, which was explained in one of the preced ing articles, so it eanuot become more convex aud ltd just itself for near work. The age wheu this change be comes apparent varies in individ uals. Hyperopic or fur sighed people require glasses for near work much sooner thou the Myopic or near sighted. The inconvenience or Presby opia can become very satisfactory by having the eyes carefully ex amined and proper glasses fitted and v. orn for near work. One thing that must be impressed upon Presbyopic people is the dan ger that lies in using other people's glasses and also in using glasses for which the eyes have been prop erly examined. Glasses belonging to other people may be too strong and thus strain the eyes even though they can be seen through very nicely. And glasses which are bought without having the eyes examined for are, never made of good material and therefore are not perfect. Often one lens of this kind will have two or three differ ent strengths in different places when it should be uniform, thus doing the eye great injury. Read ing glasses should not be ju3t any thing that can be seen through but should ba made of the best quality Optical glass should be carefully fitted to each eye by one who thor oughly understands the eye and its anomilies. Knights of Pythias. On Saturday there assembled in the parlors of the Commercial Club a lare gathering of the members of the local lodge Knights of Pythias or the purpose of greeting, the Grand Cnancelior of tho state, Mr. M. F. Davis. Mr- Davis is known all over the state as a speaker of more than or dinary ability an i the auaress giv en by him was a most able one. After the session of the lodge closed adjournment was taken to the assembly room of the club where refreshments were served fob owed by cigars uud shoit talks made by a number of the boys of tho lodge here. Unless a member of an order keeps in close touch with the order by tiking the papers relative to the order, it is .sometimes u revalation to them to have fads and figures given, and it was ho with the Grand Chancellor's address, and tho lodge here will no doubt take on now life from the effects of his visit. Tho local lodge wish to extend to the Commercial Club their thanks for the use of the rooms on this oc casion. Two days treatment, fret!.

Head the phone ad. Uuzaar new Grapho- At The Presbyterian Church. The pastor's subject Sunday morning was, "Memory, Hope and duty," the text being Psalms 78:7, "That they miht set their hope in Hod, and not forget the works of Ood, but keep his commandments." No doubt the original intent of these words were to inspire the charge of duty. The busy cares of this present often make us forget that we one duty to Ood or even have a hope in Him until we are jolted by some calamity. This text calls us to reasou letting memory do his perfect work, hope pointing to the promises and duty will be encouraged. Memory is one of God's greatest blessings. It is true that in looking backward there are some things that stalk like grim specters across the diul plate of life that nature like point the finger of condemnation at us, and conscience say of us, 'thou art guilty," but to him who hns trusted iu God mom ory turns the page and we see in beautiful garments the goodness of God who tor Christ sake forgave the past and we are made to rejoice. Iu the lives of many the plough ill ares of trouble and dissapoint ment have made deep furrows but we now can see that its the prepar ation for the golden sheaves of the harvest time. In remembering the past there should be le'sons of profit tot us. From our weakness and our humil iation we learn dependence on God. From our failures we learn pru dence, and we time our ambitions by remembering tbat we break down. I know that there are some who remember the past only to burn incense on the alters of their past achievements, though Home of these records are as black with in famy as hades. Some remember the past ouly to sink deeper into dis pair but to such a one let me say let these cause you no looger to re ly on your own power but trust in God who has said that to the weary he would give rest. Let us let the yesterdays with their fail ures cause us to lay the haDd in God's hand and he will enable us come off the victor over the trials of the tomorrows. It has been said that "hope is the last star of life to set." Memory and hope are very close ly related. Memory furnishes the coloring with which paints her pic ture on the canvass of the future expectancy. If in nur look back ward we see only selfishness, sinful ness and only the aspirations of the sensual, and see there no desire lor deliverance, then the picture that hope paints will be as devoid of light, life and love as the past is black, barren and fruitless. He whose past has only run on the law lover of the earthly and whose future ambitions have no place in them for God cm never say ''Ihope for better things" with any certi tude of fruition. He who heeds the Psalmist's exhortation and sets his life in God pierces the black cur tin of uncertainty and the light from the alter firs of Godly service shines about him and he has pos essiou of the future rewards, and to him they are as real as the memory of the past. Memory and hope are hand maid ens to inspire all to their duty to God and our jeulousncss in the per formance of that dnty will be in proportion to the appreciation of a hope that is begotten of the mem ory of the pit of Hin from which we have been dragged. And if hope is only ou the low level of past sen sualism, there will be no asperation to duty toward God. 1 ll State Game Warden Has New Officers. J. W.

While we extend a cordial wel come to the thrifty and industrious of all nations, and bid thorn take their place among us as workers and producers, we mean to teach them that this is not a country made up of principalities and Juchies, where each community may have its own language and its own government; but is.ono nation from the Atlantic to the Pacific, a nation to which every citizen owes supreme allegiance, and whose laws must be obeyed without favor or exception. This duty is impera tive and must be taught at whatover hazard. And the sooner we begin the better; for there are those who are demanding mat their native tongue be taught in our public schools, and that foreign potentates have claims upon loyalty and do votiou. Such ideas as those if once allowed would endanger the repub lie, and jeopardize every interest that is sacred and dear to us. It ought to be understood once aud for all that this is not a new Ireland nor a new Germany, nor a nation tributary to Rome, but the United States, with one Hag, ono Constitu tion, one government, and that neither king, queen, popo nor po tentate has any claim to service or recognition. Anything short of this is treasonable and dangerous, and mnst be met in the same spirit that fought in the War for Inde pendence, and that conquered iu the bloody days of the Rebellion. We want neither red flags nor green flags. Wo want neither French Anarchy nor German Social ism. We want neither Irish politics nor papal processions. When we give a man a home, and allow him the opportunity to win ample pro vision for himself and his family; wheu wo put in his hand the ballot and admit biro to fellowship in the councils of the nation, we expect that in return he will absolve him self from every alliance, whether political or religious, that bound him to his former life, and tbat he will give his best and do his best for the nation that has done so much for him. If ho will not ac cept citizenship upon these. terms, let him return to the land of his birth; such a man has no place among our pcoplo. It is full time that our legislators and politicians gave more attention to this matter. We have been far too careless, and have not enforced such laws as common prudence and public safety require.
