SATURDAY NIGHT' THOUGHTS.
Dr. Cook, the explorer, returned to
the United States this week, attracting
some attention. Upon his return
from a trip up towards the north
pole the Dr. told a beautiful story
about reaching the pole and the senr
sation of the event, and many people
believed it: but later it proved to
have been a falsehood. The Dr.
'never reached the pole; but before
the fact was discovered he had made
a small fortune through the notoriety.
To counterbalance it he lost his repu.
tation, and when the fact came out
sneaked away from the country. False
hood will out, and a man is very fool
ish to try to fool the people by it.
He should have the character to rise
above the temptation.
Trickery in any business is a poor
investment. Jt won't pay from any
standpoint, even though men do go
unpunished for it. The business man
who makes it is the one who steadily
goes ahead along straightforward
lines, dealing honestly with all men,
paying as he goes. It doesn't take
much to blemish one's reputation.
This is Christinas eve., a time long
looked forward to by the people of
the world, the best of all holiday
events, most people think, because it
is universal and celebrates the most
important of all events. It presents
an era of unselfishness, when the sav
ing of Christ that it is more blessed
to give than to receive is put into
actual practice and people everywhere
oDscrve it. Some may do it from a
spirit of reciprocity, but the most of it
is done in love and fellowship. We do
well to make much of the event.
There have been several big catas
trophic: this week, many being killed
suddenly, suggestive of the uncertainty
of life, sometimes hanging by a thread.
WHAT WOULD THE FOOL
KILLER DO?
The Seattle Free Lance says: "God
Almighty practiced for thousands of
years making fools, then he made the
prohibitionist,"
The Democrat doesn't know any
thing about this Free Lance, but the
chances are that it is kept up by sa
loon ads and patronage. The fact is
the prohibitionist was about the first
thing made. God himself is a pudii
bitionist. The ten commandments are
mostly prohibition, thou shall have no
other gods before thee, thou shall not
take the name of the Lord thy God in
vain, thou shall not kill, thou shall
not steal, rhou shall not bear false
witness, thou shall not covet, thou
shalt not commit adultery. And there
are others from beginning to end of
the Bible.
; Most laws arc prohibition lawi, and
the good citizen has to be a prohibi
tionist of some kind, lie docs well if
he is a prohibitionist of the liquor
traffic, one of the worst evils of the
age, at the bottom of most of the
crime and misery of the world. It is
not very material to the man who docs
what he believes to be right what he
is called by the Krec Lance or any
thing else or anybody else. If the
fool killer were really to go around
over the country it would be interest
ing to sec the fellows he would really
strike, and len to one the prohibition
ists would stand a better chance than
the fellows who spend their time tak
ing whacks at them with printers' ink.

IT HELPS
THE FARMER,
The 0. A. C Says a Linn County
Farmer.
Corvallis, Dec. 21. I have baen farm
ing in Linn county since 1854 and have
been patronizing tne uregon Agricul
tural college for the last forty-three
years. I sent my children, then my
grandchildren, from the first president
to President Kerr; and would now be
Satromzing the College under President
err. but I have run out of grandchild
ren. However, I attend the farmer's
short course every year, because J find
it very helpful to mo, tor the reason
that the scientific experiments made at
government expense save me so much
time, money and labor. Jn fact, the
College does these things for us gratis,
it we will but go and look on and learn
a little every year.
At the present we are milking five
cows, on my farm, that bring us Ho
per month on modern methods, and at
the same time rebuilding my tarm land
Also am raising chickens, turkeys,
guineas, pigs and hay with better re
sults than ever before, mis has been
made easy and more profitable to me
because of the information I obtuined
at the farmer's short course; hence I
earnestly recommend the course to all
the farmers who can attend. I know it
I lustifv everv farmer in dollars and
cents to attend if he can getaway from
the farm for a few days Letween Jan
uary 3rd and the 10th of the following
f ebruary. 1 shall be happy to corre
spond with any of mv old neighbors re
garding this course, for I feel that all
can do much to advance agriculture in
Linn county by familiarizing themselves
with the latest and best methods in our
chosen industry. JOSEPH YATES.
