(i random Farly, the lubject of thin sketch, whose maiden name wai Lydla Casper, died at her homo in Dallai on February 7, Hho wag horn Sn Ohio February 16, 1X27 and moved to Illinois with her parents In early childhood, where the father died, alter which together with her mother, he moved to Lexington, Mo! where she married Robert rarely, in December, 18-17. Then going on a farm she remained in that Btato until tho spring of 1852, when the family started for Oregon over land. , During the journey out of a family of seven, four died only three arriving in Oregon, Mr. and Mrs. Farley aud one child. The family settled at North Yamhill, but moved to Polk county in 1857, here she has resided ever since, having moved from the farm to Dallas ten years ago, where Mr. Farley died at the age of 80 years in July 181JS. She was the mother ot twelve children, six of whom survive her. They are: Dr. W. J., (.'has. R., and John M. Farley, of Dallas, Mrs. Nan Ayres, of Dallas. Mrs. Mary E. Morris, of Salem and Henry C. Farley, of Reno, Nevada. Tlie funeral was held at the Christian church and burial took place at the I. 0. O. F. cemetery at I o'cleck. Fallw City Leader : Who would be in the editor's shoes? There are plenty of people who can tell how to run a newspaper although they have nevr tried it, just as the most bitter enemy of the church is ul ways tho one who advances the most in regard to what a christian ouirht to be. But the running of the paper is in itself 11 different u different matter. If an important question of town policy arises the citizens divide more or less sharply into three parties, those on the two sides ami those who attempt to spread out and cover both sides. And in spreading out they are apt to become pretty thin. Now the editor of the town paper has three ways open for him. lie can go one way ami champion a cause or he can go the other. In either case hp is roundly attacked. If he attempts to be neutral he pleases no one, dis gusts everyone nnd is rightfully relegated into the realm of nonentities. An editor cannot voice the opinions of everyone and be consistent, and if lie has backbone he will not try to do so. We believe that an editor's duty lies in the voicing of those principles which he honestly deems right. To toady to financial gain alone is cowardly and derogates from self respect. Nor is this a doctrine for the editor of a paper alone. That which is put in print may stand more vividly and forcefully be fore a community than what is merely said, but there is a danger to character and self re spect in weakness regarding public policy which effects every man whether his influence bo the most puominent or the most obscure. another J.

This is a result of our pruden tial immigration policy that is extremely gratifying. This country, for man' yearn tho receptacle for the human otT Bcourings of Europe, under the boastful contention of liberty, in the earlier years of its triumph upon American soil, that here was "room and welcome for all who wished to come," has in later years found it necessary to be some what more discriminating in the matter of hospitality. Paupers, the infirm, the im becile, the moie densely ignorant and professional criminals have been, as a measure of decent self-respect and self-protection, turned back from our shores. The Italian government has evi dently become convinced that we are in earnest in placing restriction upon im ported ignorance and has wisely resolved to remove them so that such of its sub jects as may find it to their advantage to emigrate to the United States may do so with an assurance of being allowed to land Two hundred thous and dollars a year, properly applied, should teach quite a large class of intelligent teachable Italians xa good many things that they ought to know and some things that they must know before they can become residents and prospective citizens of a republic. If some other European governments, not ably Kussia and Austria- Hungary, would turn their attention to this matter, ' it would be benificial to all concerned. m:visvilli: Gladys, the four-year-old daughter of Henry Lewis, was badly burned about the head and face Tuesday, caused by hot coals falling from a shovel while one of the older children was preparing t j make a fire. Mr. Ground, the rural mail carrier, failed to make the trip on Tuesday last". Dr. Butler, of your city, was called last Sunday to see Troy Turner's babv, who was ill.
