The people of Josephine oooaty bae no reason to be aihamed of the fact that there were only 31 divoroet ranted In thla ooanty, during tbe Bast year, aa againat 91 marriages for the corresponding period ot time.

Tbe Philadelphia Ledger is em rjhatlo in demanding that the words "In God we trust," be restored to their place on oor coins. It says "Consorting art ii well; consulting fitness is better; oousnlting the deeply fouuded convictions of a oatiou is best" NOTES AND COMMENTS 1 By Old Man Smith J PANAMA A PROPHECY. Looking at a 'map of the world one oan hardly belp noticiog tbe line that bind the continents together so that on can travel through the continents of Europe, Asia ami Atrica entirely by land eioept for the Sues canal. Tbe same is Una of North and Booth America which In time is to be out by the i Panama canal These lines are both coojanctiTe and disjunctive. Defore man learned to navigate tbe seas b obeyed tbe Injunction to Oil tbe earth and subdae it by wandering on fool. The various nations and lan guages have been formed by disper sion. But In tbe maklug of Eogland and the United Stales f America the opposite process of amalgama tion has been working for retnrn to original unity. It is too far between New York and Ban Francisco by water so we must cot the distance by cutting tbe continent. It is too far from the Paciflo coast to London aud the Paoaina canal will make as nesrer neighbors to the sis millions of people that beetle to and fro in thai great rutro polls. Mouutains, Rivers and oceans that were formerly boundary lines are no longer barriers to free Intercourse and the world is coming to nearer relationship. Judging the future by the past the Panama canal is the harbinger of the day when all barriers ihall be overcome that staud in the way of the brotherhood of nations -the federailon of the world. The star of empire travels west ward and the I'nited States is rising in moral grandeur as it is riling in its worldwide influence iu the affairs of nation. It is an idle boaxt for "The Eastern nations sink, their glory mil. An Empire rises where I ht Sun drerr mis. " GKMS OK LITERATURE. terest In anything outside bis little boase he carries on bis back. Don't be coot inn ally scolding and nagging. It worries and fieta but ssver cor rect. A little girl got so'osed to tbs phrase "moso't touch it "that it lost its force. One day being left alone be climbed upon a chair and tried to reach the little gold fish in the globe. She npset tbe globe ,'when water and fish aoon reached the floor. The little one exclaimed "I dens I tilled old musn't touch it this time." A qaestion of ethics arising at this season has never been settlsd. Ia it fair to accept a beautiful and expen sive calendar from your grocer and tbeo cut off the advertising or cover it op with a photograph.? What is Injn'ious to tbe commutity it wrong for tbe individual A little boy almost breathless with excitement the other day said: "Oh, oar little calf has got a cow." What a curious maze to a foreigner is the English language. A French man was looking oot the open window of bia car when the conductor shooted look out I His head was iu danger of sudden contact with pest, benue the caotion. It is a pecoliar character istic of ths English said tbe French man, last when they say look out tbey mean for you to look in. Mark Twain was 'patriotio enough to be willing to sscricfie all bis wife's relations on tbe altar of his country. Virtue by proxy is too off n and too numerous. Too many men are brothers-in-law in moral and reli gious reform. There will be no crown wearing by proxy. Anent the New Laundry Editor Courier: In an article ia yeur last issue, entitled, "Ao Up-lo-Date Laundiy for Grants Pass," Mr. Geo. G. Peil say that ths work at the laundry has Mien materially since be disposed of the laoodry, some months ago. 'Wto"wre not aware that be bad disponed of it. At less! be was willing to go on the stand and take ao oath that be had not. We note, also, that be tells the good people that be is going to have a new driver and completely renovate the business. We will state that whsn I went to wore for Mr. Peil last March, be bad driver working for IT per week and five par cent com mission and that said driver's wage and commission amounted lo 111 per week. So yon are the delivery lot amounted to about $80 per week. Recently, the last fsw weeks I drove tbe wagon, the lot "ran up to $102 and IIUU per week. So you can see how the work has fallen off.

IMPORTANT CHANGE IN LOCAL BUSINESS CIRCLES This week an important chsnge took plsce in local business circlss, whsreby .1. F. Klein, an experienced tailor, of Rock Rapids, Iowa became the partner of F. G. Roper, the suc cessful Grants Pais tailor. Mr. Roper has been enjoying a splendid ran of business aud the volume of trade was bscoiuiag so great that he felt the need of just such assistance as Mr. Klein will Render. Mr. Klein is spoken of most highly by h s home paper, the "Review"' in regretting his luavuig remarks that "He did a splendid busiuess lisre, and leaves ouly for the reason that he believes that he will enjoy better heslth there, at he is afflicted with rheumatism. Personally he is a tine fellow and de serves a full measure of inccess. " He brought with him letters of in troductiou front tbe batiks, which in dicate very plainly that he itood high in the estimation of the community and is a man of sterling worth aud a desirable citizen for any ccuiuiuuity. His wife aud little son will toon follow him to their new home iu this city. Mr. Klriu informed the Courier re- peiter that he was very much pleased with his osw locution aud he believss that hs will like the people and climate very lunch. He, like many oth'ri coming this way, sirs a bright future for this sutire locality and he Is to be congratulated upon being able to st p into a hands.ime bn.iiie9 so well built up as ths tailoring es tablishment which Mr. Roper has been conducting;. Theie geutlenieu will make a team that will be hard to beat aud the Courier does not hesitate t o predict for them a large aud constantly in creasing business, which they will most certainly deserve. l it it Change in Firm The increase in business has necessitated onr enlarging, and Mr. J F Klein, an experienced eastern tailor is now a partner in thts Tailoring establishment.
