WELCOME GEESE. determine if the accommoda tions wore adequate for tho occasions. From our early youth we plan and then begin to wait, and hence, nothing is accomplished, A He kai.I) reporter in speak-1 while the person wiio plans and ing with Mr. Jenkins found him 'then begins to execute his plans, coinmunicativein respect topics- or forges ahead to attain to the ent conditions, and when inter- j end that he has planned, passes rogated on the subject, said that ' us by in tho race of accomplish money maters were somew hat j incut close and mentioned several! In youth is the time to plan things as conducive to the strin-j and to begin a vigorous pursuit gency, especially as having in fluence in railway traffic. The use of gasoline was men tioned as having a large, increas ing effect on farming and trans portation interests. The auto mobile and motor truck have been and are fast displacing the horse. This affects the farmer as the auto consumes gasoline instead of hay and oats and cur tails stock-raising. It affects the railroad and street car lines because it diverts much travel from them. The auto trade also affects the country by the im mense amount of money that is taken out to pay for the cars that are shipped in, while the gaso line trafic pulls out a continual i whv? Let each answer lor I stream of gold. self. Another subject touched upon was adverse legislation which serves as a check to keep capital from seeking investment within the state, all these things work ing together to cause a stringen cy in the money market. An easy money market makes good times and a sringency in money affairs makes correspond ingly hard times, and while the things mentioned do have a bear ing on present conditions there may he other agencies at work that have not shown up yet. The fall of 1907 is not so far lost in the inisty past but that most of us can remember what great money interests did when they undertook to accomplish certain ends. However, with President Wilson in the executive chair it is not likely that the tactics that wrought for evil in the past will be pursued very strenuously. An Nt.d.d PASSING THOUGHTS "Only waiting till the shadows Have a little longer grown; Only waiting till the glimmer Of the day's last beam has flown." How often as we glide along the busy highway of life, watch ing its varied and changing scenes, we are brought face to face with persons who bring to our remembrance the thought couched in the above lines. "Only waiting!" Passing the time away! What are they wait- of the ideal of our conceptions. And as the limit placed upon man is bounded only by the intelligence of his creator he I should plan for time and eterni-i tv. so as to accomnli.-h the full' measure of his creation. There are places of eminence to be lilled ; places of trust for those who will tit themselves to occupy, but those who are too fond of social diversion will not be called on to occupy positions for which they have not pre pared themselves. It is said: '.Modern boys are less thoughtful, less earnest and ambitious than their fathers," and we are asked the iiuestion. lor liiin- Induxtries Will Not Take Chances On Small Margin. (Editorial by Elbert Bede in the Cot tage Grove Leader. Mr. Bede has been nominated for representative in Lane County.) The tendency of the times is to legislate entirely in favor of labor and against the employer. Especially is this true in Ore gon, where every manner of freak law and commission has been, or is being, tried out.. It is possible that capital has invited sucn action, but as a be liever in organized labor and as a sincere friend of the man who works, The Sentinel believes that Oregon is inclined to travel a little too fast in this direction. We must not forget that with out employers there will be no employes. Oregon's laws are keeping capital out of the state and have made investment of money in dangerous industries exceedingly risky. Unless lum ber prices take an immediate up ward trend Cottage Grove is like ly to have an illustration of the fear employers have of Oregon's liability laws. Two Cottage Grove mills have found that at present prices they can't operate at a profit. With out a margin on the goods they are selling they don't feel that they can take chances on injured workmen and damage suits.
