O. D. Hamstreet, editor and
publisher o f the Sheridan Sun,
was one of the heavy losers in
the disastrous fire that swept
the business section o f Sheridan
on Friday of last week. He
writes the Graphic that all he
saved was his mailing list and
three or tour fonts of type, and
besides, lost his home. This
week’s paper will be printed in
Portland, after which he hopes to
get fitted up again tor business.
Mr. Hamstreet is giving Sheri

sympathy o f the Graphic in his
heavy loss.

The civilized world always
st:rs with a flutter o f hope when
ever the word goes forth that a
new cure for some disease has
been discovered. If the disease
happens to be one o f the great
scourges o f humanity, like
cancer or tuberculosis, the in
terest is immediate and intense.
The day has gone when such
news could filter slowly through
to the public. Ttye newspapers,
especially in this country, knock
at every door. Within twenty-
four fa ours after a “ cure” is an
nounced, every one who is old
enough to read knows all about
it.
There is a reasonable justifica
tion for the springing hope, for
time and again in the past a
miracle has appeared. Small
pox, diphtheria, typhoid, and
lockjaw are horrors that we
have passed in our upward
climb. AHoverthe world trained
men are bending over test-tubes
and gazing through microscopes
in unremitting efforts to make
even the smallest discovery.
Here at last,* perhaps, we have
the sure thing that the world
has been expecting. How can
we tell till we try it?
The world owes a respectful
hearing to every new thing, but
at the same time, there are points
o f danger that must not be over
looked. There is always the
danger that the new cure may in
itself be powerful tor harm, and
that by and by it will have to be
cast aside. There is also the fear
that the new and untried remedy
may fall into the hands o f the
unscrupulous, who will use it
merely to make money; and that
the sick, in their piteous haste to
be cured, will be induced to pay
heavily for the straws they
clutch at.
The greatest danger o f all is
that those who grasp the netf
hope will let g o o f the old safe
guards. The old-fashioned way
seems slow,—the things you must
do or not do, the attention to
this matter or to that, the con-
stant taking thought about
yourself,—it has all been repeated
to weariness. If only you could
do it all by swallowing a pill or
jabbing a needle into your arm!
And so the old, painstaking,
slow methods are relaxed, and
the work o f months or years is
sacrificed to ‘ something that,
after all, may prove to be only a
will-o’-the-wisp.
Mankind may well be o f good
cheer, for the future is bright
with promise, but it should also
be cautious. Let the new things
go first to the physicians, anc

kins planted on either side o f the
walk, and in close proximity
thereto, and now the vines are
on the walk, headed for each

crush them. And nearby, on the

whose low hanging branches
enable the passer-by to gather
the cherries without trespassing
on the grounds o f the owner.
Moreover, when it rains and the
branches o f said tree are loaded
with rain water, there is a good
chance for a shower bath, as no
