Newberg Qraphic You have probably observed that it isn’t alw ays the one who makes the greatest display of crape on the hat, follow ing the loss of a bosom companion, that remains out o f the matrimonial market the longest. The inyitation made by the Graphic to the Southern Pacific officials to come to Newberg often has evidently been taken in the right spirit. Hardly a day has passed during the week but that one or more of them have been w ith us, and it begins to look like there might be some thing doing here soon. Newberg w ill meet the S.

Witness the fact that a Dayton woman o f masculine proportions cornered the editor o f the local paper in his den one day last week and jabbed him with her rain stick until he promised to be good—a mighty solemn obligation for a newspaper man to take. __ , ___ jerg-i. ... — - A news note from North Yaki ma says the farmers and fruit growers o f that section are ar ranging to bny the Weber, Bus sell canning plant o f that city, which has been idle for tw o years or more, and operate it. The same company has a fine plant in Newberg which has never been operated, and the matter o f getting it into shape for doing the things for this sec tion it was supposed to ffo when it was built, is well w orthy o f the serious consideration of our people and right now is the time when it should be taken up. The big California packing company •will naturally want to tie up the plant again the coming season and keep it idle, but this should not be permitted.

His little tw o for time. ; a cent brain does not make it possible for him to see things as others see them. The man who sneers sees incomptency and in sincerity and hypocrisy in every phase o f life. When we say that we that we have faith in the great throbbing heart o f the human race, he sneers at us be cause we are able to see good in anything. No matter how we may do cmr w ork he will surely sneer at us for something. I f the sneering individual sees us do our duty he w ill sneer and jeer at us because be is to o cowardly to do his duty. The man who sneers very seldom makes his sneering insinuations about us while we are there to hear them. Oh! no. T o do this he is much to o cowardly. He waits for an opportunity until he knows we are not present and then begins his dirty work. Like a snake he then crawls forth from his liar, and like this reptile he hisses out his sneering and is certainly the most contemptible creature on the face o f the earth. He sneers at Christian ity, at morality, at charity, at kind words and kind deeds. His body is contaminating and his very presence a curse to all who in any w ay come in contact with him. Beware o f the man who sneers. Ignore him entirely. He is going around with his lips tainted with poison to dis turb, t o fill y o u w i t h sus picion, discontent and ugly thoughts. He is forever tearing down, never building up. His poor, little, pitiful soul is so warped and dwarfed that he will never know there is such a thing as a large beautiful life, full o f duty and love, faith and hope/ He is not capable o f any grand emotions. Like the common street cur he is forever barking at anything and everything be comes in contact with, just to make his presence known and make others miserable. Beware o f the man who sneers. Regarding the franchise for an electric line on First and Meri dian streets, running north past tlie College grounds, which the Southern Pacific is going to ask the d ty to grant, the Graphic w ill state here frankly, that with the interests o f the city properly safeguarded, we are in favor of granting the franchise. First street is eigh ty. feet wide, and w ith the track placed on a level with the grade and well paved between the rails and for a reasonable distance on the sides, it would not materially interfere with vehicle travel. All cities have electric lines on their main business streets and in our opinion a well equipped electric line carrying passengers along First street, where they con Id see the fronts o f the best buildings we have, would be a much better advertisement tor Newberg than i f they were shown the rear ends of store buildings, such as may be seen on Second street, for in stance. I f the proposition was for using puffing steam locomo tives, hauling freight cars, it would be different, but since an exclusive passenger and local ex press line is proposed we think it would be a valuable asset, rather than a hindrance to the interests o f Newberg, and as a property owner on the street we are in favor o f giving the prop The Graphic and Semi-Weekly osition doe consideration.

PENNWCTON SUBJECT OF PEACE “ When the war drum throba no longer, and the battle flag is furled In the parliament of man, the federa tion of tha world.’’ But not yet has the millennium dawned. In the face o f all this progress armies and navies are larger and more burdensome than ever before. Armed to the teeth the nations o f the world lie watching one another. Unless conditions are changed, w ar is inevitable. What is to be done? I f w ar is to be averted, the na tions of the world must lay down their arms. Some great nation must take the lead in this, and the United States is the logical one to do it. The time is coming, and Amer ican disarmament would do much to hasten it, when there will be a great world congress, to codify international laws, and enact new laws as needed; when these laws will be interpreted by a world court, to which will be referred all international differ ences; when these laws, thus in terpreted, w ill be enforced upon the nations by a world executive, whose active powers should be vested in an international police force. Then w ill end the burden o f armies and navies under which the world has long been groan ing. Some day, in the not dis tant future, the nations that all these years have bowed before the throne of the god o f w ar shall own eternal allegiance to the Prince o f Peace. “ And o f the increase o f His government, and o f peace, there shall be no end.” THAT DRY DECISION Over at Woodburn the town used to be wet. Not long ago, however, the citixens voted the place into the dry column and a number o f those who felt they were being deprived o f the pleas ure o f taking a nip when they wanted it, organized a club at which liquors were dispensed at pleasure o f members. As the city officers considered such a course in violation o f the law, the cai was fried and carried up to the Look W ho’s Here!

This ruling o f the supreme court, it is said, will have its effect upon the Elks and Eagles lodges which are supposed to dispense liquors among their members on certain occasions. It will, also, probably, have its bearing npon other places in and around Eugene. The Eugene Commercial club has a stipula tion in its constitution and by laws which prohibits, absolutely, the keeping o f liquors o f any kind at the club, and this rule has been strictly adhered to all along during the life o f the club, only soft drinks being served during the summer season. Under this arrangement the club has been able to interest all classes o f representative citizen ship in the club as members to the advantage o f the organiza tion.—Eugene Register. FRANK WOOD WINS PRIZE A few days ago our old friend Frank Wood received a letter from James Vick’s Sons, Seed- men of Rochester, New York, which said “ We take pleasure in enclosing check tor $25, this be ing the amount awarded you at the New York State Fair, Syra cuse, N.
