Portland has the promt distinc
tion of leading the world in the ex
portation of lumber during the past
six months. The boast is a worthy
one. The lumber industry in Ore
gon has hardly started deyelop
ment, millions of feet standing un
tmirhed. Portland is destined to
be likewise honored frequently dur
ing the next few years.
Younsr man. whatever you do.
Cf
remember this: Keep your ex
penses well within your means. It
matters not so much how much a
man may make as it does that he
is able to lay no something out of
eath dollar he takes in. That
the secret of success laid down by
those who have attained succens be
fore us, and it is a wort.iy rule to
emulate. The credit system more
often proves a curse to the man
who contracts the debt than to the
Ane wno credits him. Credit is a
blessing, properly treated, but
calamity when the least abused.
And now comes "Uncle Joe"
Cannon, possibly the next speaker
of the house of representatives,
with an interview saying that he
will not allow any financial legis
lation at the next session of con
gresa. Financial legislation is not
necessary, and tampering with our
present system right now would
mean uneasiness in the business
world, and posdibly bring on a
panic. But the congress should
whether there is to be such
legislation or not. What the con
gresa is to do should hardly be left
in the hands of one man as it
practically is in the house today.
The game of chess itself is an
allegory of life in minature. The
world is a globular chesB board,
and all the individuals merely fig
ures which destiny moves at her
will. In the turning lathe of na
ture some are fashioned into kings
and " queens, others into bishops
and knights, with strong castles,
but by far the majority of us come
into the world as pawns or foot
soldiers. . As in chess, so it is in
life, our position means our rise or
downfall iu the battle of life posi
tion is all. Like a pawn, the most
humble person, an he slowly moves
o'er the squares of this great sub
lunary chessboard, may in the end
arrive at that station wherein he
assumes even a power greater than
his own king.
There is not a paper in the state,
we care not where you go, that has
a force of correspondents equal to
that of the Enterprise. This is
one feature of our columns that we
pride ourselves upon more than
any other. Few of our reader)
realize that among the number
writing for tis there are tome who
INDEPENDENCE
have been contributor! in the past J
and are today writing for om
prominent eaeturn periodicals and
get a check lor their contribution.
The Kntkkpkisk doe not intend to
let this future of the paper decline
in iutereKt, but trust to keep it up
to its present high standard.

The Unseen Force.
Uueua Vista Special.
Tennyson says, "I am a part of
all that I have met." He is light.
Whether we realize it or not, we
are "a part of all that we have met"
during onr life time. We meet
and pass by thousands of people in
a year, and ijive them no thought,
yet they have influenced us in
some degreV, and we have Influenc
ed them. We are judged by our
associates., and it is a rlghtK0B
way of judging, for we can not as
sociate with the riff raff of earth
and yet keep our minds on a high
and noble plane.
Did parents but more fully ap
preciate this fact, and choose more
carefully thair childrens' associates,
there would be far lead misery, few
er unhappy homes and a thousand
times less disgrace from fallen sons
and daughters.
Mothers and fathers should be
on tbe alert for the unseen forces
that influence their children; they
should know the whereabouts and
employment of their young sons
and daughters, and be ready to
guard them from contact with un
desirable associates and acquaint
ances. Let parents realize that their chil
dren are "a part of all that they
have met," or may meft, and in
that knowledge will be greater pro
tection for their children. Then
girls of twelve, fifteen, and even
seventeen will not be turned loose
to go and come at will; to chbose
their own associates and amuse
ments, and fall into habits that
tend to evil and finally to disgrace,
as eo frequently happens.
Realizing the mighty influence
of the unseen forces, parents will
not heedlessly allow their half-matured
sons to go hither and yon
with crowd of equally wild and
reckless youths, to smoke, drink,
blackguard and act tbe beast, re
gardless of the everlasting effect of
such behavior and character. ,
Tbe time is ripe for attention to
these facts, and parents should be
brought to a, realization of them,
before the mantle of dishonor falls
on the hhouhler of the promising
on or daughter, and the hopeful
parent see theii plain and hopes
khalter.d by the Wow of di-graoe.
