If tho wiitor of thoso linos hail
Willis II. Jenkins of Portland,

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

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.

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,"

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. Be-
