A Widespread Awakening.
Georgia is now a dry state, two
within a year. The tide is that way
Btronger than ever before in the history
of the country. It will not be long
until every state in the union will be in
the dry list. It is no fad, but a busi
ness and moral movement.
It is a business movement because
shrewd business men everywhere have
learned that whiskey is a great enemy
to the success of any enterprise. It
unfits the humblest employee for the
duties of his position and it incapaci
tates the most important one. Whiskey
is a danger signal on the railroad, it is
a warning to look out in the factory
and it is a red light in every thing.
It is a moral movement, because the
drink habit is on the side of the devil
in every movement and against im
provement. It is the enemy of the
family. The home is cused by it
wherever it enters it. It is ruination
to the young man who becomes addic
ted to it. Its influence is always bad
in whatever field you find it.
These things and others have been
attracting the attention of men, and
set them to thinking. The result has
been action. Besides the completely
dry Btates there is local option in nearly
all of them.
The awakening is no fad, but a perma-
nent one in the interest of a better citi
zenship.
How to Live Long.
The death of Mary Ramsey Wood at
Hillsboro, at the age of 120 years and 7
months, calls for special notice. She
was born in Tennessee May 20, 1787.
She joined the M. E. church when 12,
was married -wlion 17 and lived in Ten
nessee, Alabama, Georgia, Missouri
and Oregon. Her husband died in 1839,
after they had lived togother 35 years.
She was a widow fifteen years, when
she was married to John Wood, in 1854,
two years after coming to Oregon. Mr.
Wood died about forty years ago, and
the widow spent the rest of her life
alono. She was a democrat to the core
and democratic in the simplicity of her
lile, which probably had much to do
with her long life.
A great many people would like to
know how to live to be 120 years of
age. The problem can not bo solved.
Heredity probably has something to
do with it, a strong constitution being
a big thing, but it is just as noceBsary
to care for the body as for machinery,
and the person who livos plainly on
healthy food, being temperate in the
use of food, leaving out of the stom
ach such things as wear the stomach
out, such as alcohols and narcotics, is
bound to have many yoars added to the
life.
New Yenr's Resolutions.
New years is no bottor than any
other time to make resolutions, but it
is a good time nevertheless. Perhaps
the following will bo timely:
Will not knock in a little or big way,
and will boost all the timo.
Will drop the selfish habits of life,
which are injurous to health and mor
als. Will think of others and seek to ad
vance the interests of mankind.
Will do everything possible to restore
confidence.
Will quit gosaipping about neighbors.
Will never help to spread a scandal.
Will woik for a better city physically
and morally.
Will do everything possible for tho
upbuilding of character, and never anv-1
. . J I

of the most worthless person.

more than money possessed.

riio llaiiner RooBcvelt Town.
Ex.
Roebling, N. J., has a postoflico of
its own bow, and tlio babies did it.
Roebling is probably tho champion
baby town in America. Tho records
show tlu.t 96 per cent of its families
have received babies during the last
two years. The greatest pride of the
citizens of Roebling is baseil upon thoir
record for the last two months. In
this period the stotk has not missed 8
day. There was one week in whi
the busy visitor was entertained in 42
homes, and two consecutive days to
taled up nine calls each.
local physicians and nurses whose
presence was desired by those most
interested, found the stork more nimble
than they had counted on and recruits
were called from adjacent cities and
towns.
If John D. Rockefeller wants to show
his patriotism, he should pay that $29,
000.000 fine, now, so Uncle Sam can
uso it for Christmas.
If you did not find what you were
looking for, in the president's message,
you were hard to please.
Saturday Mglit Thoughts.
This week has seen an old year go
out and a new one come in. We are
now facing the problems of a different
time. It is true, that in one sense
there is no difference between Dec. 31
and Jan. 1, and yet in another there is
a marked difference. It has been
called turning over a new leaf so much
that people have gotten to looking at
it that way, as the time for new things,
new purposes, a new life. Men make
resolutions to live better lives, quitting
bad habits. They do well to do this at
any time, and particularly at this time
of the year. One should never wait
for the first of the year to resolve to
improve one's character, and, yet, it is
a good idea to have this. time set apart
for the purpose.
This year follows what has been
called, a panic, and people are wonder
ing what kind of a year it will be finan
canlly. The Democrat expects that it
will end up prosperously, and at no time
show much effect of it on 'this coast.
It is also the Presidential year, and
this always' has an effect on business.
But put a peg here; Make the best
of thiugs. Look up, have a broad face,
be optimistic and do your share towards
making the world better along all lines.
.
Congress will not do anything this
session to put the tariff in a better con
dition. It should, but it will not. The
high lariff is the father of the monop
oly and the trusts. To it is due the
present crisis in a great measure what
ever construction people may put upon
it. It is at the back of the conditions
which ;have been gradually leading up
to the panic. All manner of reasons
have been given, but this is the best,
notwistanding the fact that other things
have played their part. But Congress
dare not do anything, because this is
presidential year.
flMr. Rockefeller gave away several
million dollars as a Christmas diversion,
but Chicago University, already im
mensely wealthy, got most of it. If it
was to be distributed among the poor
of the country think of the good it
would do. For instance, there are 20,-
000 editors in the U. S. He could give
each of them $2,500 apiece and would
hardly feel it so far as his needs go,
and think of tho joy iu the hearts of
some of tho poor fellows. But after
all the man who hustles for himself
and earns his money himself is the
most independent, and most of us are
not looking for Rockefeller's illgotten
gains. It is easy to tell others what to
do with money, but it is a serious thing
whon it comes to one's own door.
Some people think these Teddy bears
are foolish things, but as a matter of
fact the dear people have to have
something of tho kind for a fad, and
this is a harmless cne. Did you ever
notice' how cute they are and they
might as woll be cuddled as anything
else. Every dog, though, has his day,
and tho Teddy bear will soon be forgot
ten, but there will be something else to
take his place just as nonsensical.
The Matter of a Union Depot.
The matter of the depot should be

ple in nn amicable manner. It is not
necessary to have a big jar over it.

THE DEPOT
MEETING
An Enthusiastic One for

Pursuant to the call of the Com
mercial Committee of the Alco Club,
C. H. Stewart chairman, H. H.Hewitt,
J. S. Van Winkle, E. W. Langdon, E.
T. Merrill, E. D. Cusick and F, M.

ance at the Alco parlors last night
to consider the union depot, not to in
terf ii-e with anything that is being
done, but to promote the movement in a
friendlv'way. Chairman Stewart Dre-
sided. Mayor Wallace stated the case
for the city and remarks were made by
J. W. Cusick. E..W. Langdon, G. W.
Wright, Fred Dnwson, J. N. Duncan,
City Attorney Weatherford and F. J.
Miller, bringing out the fact that the
street running between the two depots
was in the way of the present location.
A standing vote was taken on the loca
tion declared unanimous in favor of the
vicinity of the present one, of course
on this side of the tracks, also one in
favor of the vacation by the city, if
possible.of the street, the extension of
Montgomery, which was unanimons.
It is said this was never formally ded

owns one side of it and the Astoria Co.
the property on the other.
