(SIGNIFICANCE OF A SMILE.
The ralae of a HuiUe in almot io
ettimoble; the perion who cannot ap
predate a radiant countenance- in cr
taioly too sonr for this mnndane
rjihere, and shoald Immediately uroni
the river Jordan. The Med ford Mail
in HTwaklnir of the value of a imile
cite a number of cuhs where th
tulle in sigoificant. It iayi:
It is worth stoppinK to tbiuk of that
Taft Is known ait ' 'Smiling Bill" and
Sherman as "Suuny Jim."
Prxiideut Kooitevelt, with hli boll
dog oouuteuuoce, is the best known
for IiIh irood outured uriu. It is hard
for him to wear a sober face even
when he poses for a pbotoiiraph. The
Bryan smile is believed to be the best
aHiot of the " great commoner." It is
expanivo, pervasive and contagious
Everybody foels good in the presence of
Bryan. Althoogh Governor Johnson
seems to have a sad oonntenanoe,
there is curious little twint to his
lip that suBgents capacity for quiet
fan and an eye to the bumorons side
of life. All of which leads to the con
cIubIou that the Ameriuan people pre
fer moo who imile. There liava been
times when statesmen were expected
to have square not mouths and wear
(rock ooats tightly buttoned. But.lt
is past.
It is a tendenoy of the times. Even
the clergy in these days have dis
carded solemn garments and smile
cheerfully ou' their congregations.
It pays to smile. There Is an inner
aatiHfaction in looking on the world
tnrough smiling eyes. An) the re
wards of life In this age are for the
optimist.
That is why the Morning Mail al
ways greets you with a merry
twinkle.
The bollding of an electric railroad
line into the Illinois valley as iag-
treated on the firat page of this issue
Is but a small beginning of what is
sure to follow, and very soon too, in
th matter of development of Southern
Pregou. That this proposed road, if
bo tit as now contemplated, will soon
be extended to the l'aolfio coast, is
beyond a doubt ;Tliat even the
milage now proposed will be a payiug
Investment from the start is vouched
for by the extent to the Illinois val
ley, the feitility of its soil and
the unlimited mining and timber in
terests which a road will make it
possible to develop, to say nothing of
the agricultural and dairy prospects
which the road would have tojiaudle
as soon as completed It mesne much
to Josephine comity.
"Chautnaiiua" is a corruption of
the Indian expreiMlou "foggy mints,"
and was originally applied to a beauti
ful lake in New York. Ou this lake
is an excellent park which was bought
lu 1H74 by the Chautauqua Sunday
Hohool Asnenibty. Soon this institu
tion tteoame onique becatme of its
yearly summer schools aud instructive
aud popular eutertainiunets, and all
similar organisations appropriated
the term Chautauqua Assembly to
designate their likeuess. The original
a"Souibly has been almost entirely
dropped aud now "Chautauqua". im
plies ail that was meant by the origi
nal term. The Chautauqua at Glad
stone Park docs the same work us the
original asMiubly lu New York.

mounter; if engaged in murder as a
vocation as he ; admitted it cannot be
gainsaid that be fully merited ;the
death raalty. However, confine
ment for life behind prison bars
would seem a greater punishment than
even death. And, too, the advocates
of capital puniabment would seem to
be growing fewer as civilization ad
vances, even though it nil prevails in
many states.
That the State of Oregon and par
ticularly the section known as the
Rogue River Valley is being brouhgt
to the attention of the outride world
more extensively and systematically
than ever before, is evidenced by the
splendid defcrlptive booklets being
isaned by the various towns along the
valley. In view of this unanimity
of effort the population Of the valley
should double within the next two
years. This would mean a tremen
dous development of the mining, tim
her aod fruit industries of the state to
say nothing of the numerous new
manufacturing enterprises which are
bound to follow.
This year's Oregou State Fair, to be
held at Salem September 14th to 19th,
promises to fur surpass any of the
past. Fifteen thousand dollars will
be offered in "miion. The grounds
have been greatly Improved, and en
tries in the racing department are not
only much larger thanj ever before
hnt. include a much bstter claiss of
burses. m
About the time James Schoolcraft
Sherman was nominated for vice
president he was taken very ill, but as
between the uncertainties or the out
come of the battle of the ballots and
oht mlnht be encountered in the
next world, he seems to have chosen
the former horn of the dilemma, for
he Is nearly well again.
