WHAT WILL WE DO WITH
THE DUST!
The dust problem will have
to be met iu this city sooner or
later. In fact it is met very fre
quently now when an automo
bile goes scorching by, and a
motor-cycle is not slow at raising
dust either, while the old
fashioned horse and buggy or
the wagon and team all contrib
ute in the general mixing of
earth and air.
Dallas will have oiled streets
according to the decision of the
city council of that city, but that
does not help us out of our diffi
culty. The question is: What
will Monmouth do? Will we
settle the dust or will we breathe
and eat it?
"Oh!" says Sloth, "let it alone
and it will tettle itself." But,
there is where the trouble conies
in; it settles in the house and
out of it, and the linen on the
clothes line is not exempt and
that stirs up the tempest barom
eter in the housekeeper's direc
tory, leavingan unsettled state of
affairs there which is some times
more demonstrative than placid,
therefore, what shall we do with
the dust?
AS YOU LOOK AT IT.
Men differ radically in their
makeup and opinions, glory be.
Otherwise this world would be
too monotonous for endurance.
We should never quarrel with
another because of different
view-points, social, religious and
political. If a man thinks that
Jupiter is made of plum duff he
has the right to say so just so
he isn't too obstreperous about
it. Men differ also in their am
bitions. One loves power, an
other wealth, another content
ment, and each should be allowed
to struggle for his goal unless he
interferes with the rights of
others. Aye, there's the rub!
He often does interfere, and thus
laws are born, and the social
problem, and strife between
classes and individuals. Un
doubtedly he lives best who truly
loves his fellow-man and whose
ambition allies itself with the
welfare of hurrfanity. With his
love he unites wisdom, for in
striving for others he gains his
own happiness. Alas, the most
of us but dimly see this truth,
and seldom grope toward the
light! We kick the fallen brother,
and seek to trip our rivals in
the race for what? A bauble,
as vain as the silver gew-gaws
upon our coffin lids. Weston
Leader.
THEY NEED THE 'MONEY.
Mr. Cowgill, of Creswell, whose
letterappears in another column,
asks why the people of Oregon
are asked to vote on single tax.
It very properly appears to him
that single tax is a scheme that
will throw upon land the whole
burden of government, while
other property escapes. He
cannot understand why the peo
ple should be asked to pass upon
anything so manifestly unjust.
His question is easily answer
ed. We are to be asked to vote
on single tax this fall because
an Kastern millionaire with a
fad is paying quite a large num
ber of gentlemen very liberally
to ask us to do it.
These gentlemen are not at
tempting to evade a heavy aTTd
grinding burden of taxation,
themselves. Infact.it appears
that they have very little taxes
to pay. There is money to be
made by advocating single tax,
ami they argue that they need
the money, and that it would be
a shame to see it go to waste. So
we are asked to vote for single
tax.
Nor does it appear that Joseph
Fels, the millionaire manufac
turer of soap who is furnishing
the funds, is conspiring to evade
his share of taxation, and to put
it off on some one else, for he
owns no property in the sUite.
He is a millionaire with a fad.
Laird Andy o' Ski bo gives away
libraries as a sort of private
recreation. Pels' recreation is
foisting single tax onto some
body somewhere.
So we are to be asked to vote
on single tax this fall. Oregon
doesn't want it. It is unfair and
uneconomic. But the gentlemen
who are asking us to vote for it
want the money that Mr. Pels
will pav them if they are indus
trious and faithful, and so single
tax goes on the ballot.
Mr. Pels does not pay the cost
of having the measure put on
the ballot. We must do that
ourselves.That is our misfortune.
All we can do is to vote agajnst
it. Eugene Register.
The strenuous campaign for
the Republican nomination for
president, between President
Taft and T. R. Roosevelt, will
soon close as the nominating
convention at Chicago, June 18,
will settle the matter as to whom
it shall choose. However, if a
dark horse is shoved into the
race und it proves not to be "me"
(T. R. Roosevelt), it looks very
much as if there will be two Re
publican candidates in the field,
in which case we suppose one
will be running at "large."
President Taft gets the four
delegates at large in Ohio. Ac
cording to T. R. Roosvelt that
will be treachry, but still the
conflict for the nomination for
president goes strenuously on.
The Ohio convention, in the
present phase of contention, de
cided to postpone the nomina
tion of State officers until after
the Chicago convention. How
ever their is no greater prospect
for harmony then than at pres
ent. Quean Elizabeth Rigid Ceiwor.
Queen Elizabeth believed in rigid
censorship of literature. She or
dered that all books should be read
over by her ''loyal bishops and coun
cilors" .before being licensed, except
law books, which were dealt with
by the lord chief justice and lord
chief baron. Soon the licensing of
books other than those on law was
divided between the archbishops,
the bishop of London and the vies
chancellors of Oxford and Cam
bridge universities with respect to
books printed at their presses. The
master of the revels had authority
over plays and poems. The eman
cipation of the press did not occur
until lf95, when it was secured by
the commons after a struggle with
the lords. London Chronicle.

Dated this 27th of May. lit ,
Died of Supination.
Princess 1. ikelike, daughter of
Kapankea and mother of Princess
Kaiulani. died on Feb. 3, IMS?. She
had not been seriously ill, but a
lava flow from the grent volcano
Kilauca, in Hawaii, which occurred
a few days before her death, was to
her mind a sure sign that a chief
tainess was required by the goddess
Tele, that heartless old deity sug
gested to the children of nature in
the ages of volcanic terrors. So
firm were Likelike's convictions that
the wrath of the furious Pele had
to be appeased by her death that
she lost heart and never rallied.
The night before her death there
was a halo around the moon, and
when she saw it she abandoned all
hope and speedily died. A few
years later Likihiku heard that he
was being. prayed to death by an
enemy, aided by a sorcerer, a deadly
method of warfare, so he simply lay
down and died of despair.
Forgetfulneis That Paid.
Old Peter Smith, who for years
kept a grocery and general store at
Beechwood, Mass., became forget
ful during the hint of his business
life. One day a man called and got
a barrel of flour on credit and car
ried it away on his wagon and
Peter could not remember who the
man was when he came to charge
up the flour. Being a shrewd old
man, he thought of a way out of
the trouble. Peter charged a bar
rel of flour to each of the yearly ac
counts he kept with his customers,
all hardworking farmers, thinking
that every one except the man who
really had the flour would kick
when the bills were rendered. On
Jan. 1 old Peter sent out the bills
to all his customers, adding in each
case a barrel of flour. Nobody
kicked ! Everybody paid !
