IS ENTITLED TO GOOD ROADS
If good roads will lessen the cost
of hauling the products of the farm to
market half they are worth far more
than they cost; but there is more dif-
icrence tpan tnat. uetwecn a very
pad road and a first-class road there
is said to be a difference of ten to one
in favor of the good road. With such
figures staring one in the face it is
business in an emphatic manner to
ec that the country gets the best
toads possible.
' Already the Linn county roads' are
pretty good. Our soil is such that
with fair attention a road can be kept
in splendid condition, a fact demon
strated by the Tangent road, over
which in the wettest weather of the
.winter farmers experience no trouble
in getting into Albany with heavy
loads. The entire county should be
gradually covered, good roads being
made an issue. The farmer is entitled
to the improvement at the expense of
the people, and it is time an issue was
made of the fact,
ABOUT CLEAN PAVEMENT.
The Lyon street pavement should
be kept just as clean as that of First
street. It has not been. It is in a
dirty condition out towards the depot,
at a place where it would speak more
for the city if kept up. Good work
was done with hobo labor and it
should be kept up. Every hobo. kept
in the city jail over night should be
put to work at once on the streets, a
splendid way not only to get needed
work, but as well to settle a problem
of importance.
Saturday Night Thoughts.
The president sent a epectal message

the president amount 'to little besides
their litterature. 1 he message refers
mostly to land matters, trie prominent
theme of the day. About the greatest
subject before the people is the con
servation at its natural resource, that
is the protection and guarding of them
so the people can 'have "their benent.
If the government is really in earnest
tnere is a splendid neld for doing some'
thing.

V revelation, making us ask. what next.
In Portland this week the (.rial of
Binger Hermann for land fraud has
been in progress, without much aerious
headway. It is quite a judicial fight.
The Democrat's guess is that Hermann
will be acquitted, not because the
Democrat thinks he is innocent, for the
verdict of this paper is the opposite,
but because of the delav. and the evi
dent failure to Becure the kind of
evidence effective for conviction.
A wreck over on the Pacific, off Ore

details. Among tnem was a prominent
student, with aright prospects ahead.
How uncertain is life, and how much
better for it to end with a clean record

glades:
While Lebanon nestles 'neath fir and
pine,
At the base of the high Cascades.
Eight snow-capped peaks may at times
oe seen,
Through the sun-kissed, sea-washed
air-
No autumnal gold nor vernal green!
r or snow reigns eternal thure.
Three Sisters stand in the far south east,
Close-bound in a cold embrace.
No stain of sin, and no need of priest, '

Toward the vivid, though distant east,
Ana uie nortn east too, wnen tne
view is ffooa.
Poetic souls may forever feast

When the sky is free from cloud and

Again north-eastward fix vour gaze :
Like lonely, sleepless sentinels appear

Just avoice from the Valley we love so

Through winters mild and summers

Just a glimpse of the Paradise where
we dwell.
And sing to our heart's delight.

And Willamette, our noblest stream,
Each says to our listening souls, All

As ye live and toil and dream.'
We have the fairest skies beneath the

In the dear old State of Ore-on!
And may the Willamette forever flow.
While roses bloom imd eternal

ENFORCING LAW.
The enforcement of the laws of a
city is just as proper as the making of
them in the first place. They should
not be made if not the proper thing,
Every law-abiding citizen should ap
preciate this point. Therefore the of
ficial who makes an issue of seeing
that the laws under him are enforced
is entitled to the support of every
body. It should always be done in a
reasonable manner, with sufficient
warning in case of trivial offenses and
with energy in case of prominent ones,
