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

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!. King'

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.

AMERICAN IDEAS
An Ellis Island Tract.
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.
