However, there seems to be ex ceptions to the rule and if the little war clouds which are bob bing up from down Cottage Grove and Ashland way should develop into real "twisters," the lusty young Journal may be ef- Knlered at the Ilcppvcr, Oregon, fectually squelched and its fine An Independent, Local News paper.

TO MEET A Ilioi'l'NEK minister, in his sermon last Sunday morning, pointed out the great power for good or evil which is vested in our thinking, "As a manthink eth, so is he," might have been his text. "If a few people in Europe," the speaker declared, "were to think rightly today the war could be ended within twenty-four hours." Shakespeare said: "There is nothing, either good or bail, but thinking makes it so." How important it is, then, that we should all cultivate good thoughts. Thoughts are things, and every thought that goes forth from the human mind has its effect, directly upon the thinker perhaps more indirect ly upon the entire world. If we would be efficient we must learn to think clearly; if we desire to be noble, and gen erous, and Hire, we must culti vate such thoughts as will en gender nobility, and generosity, and purity. If we would be brave, and courageous, and suc cessful, we must learn to banish fear, and doubt, and cowardice from our thinking. Fear is a demon that lurks in darkness. and if we yield allegiance to him will quickly make pigmies of us all. The way to keep from wrong doing is to banish wrong think ing, and to best do this we should strive to keep our minds so filled with good thoughts that evil ones can find no abiding place therein.

At the moment we can think of but one chance for the Journal if this boycott really goes into effect. It might follow the ex ample of many o: these country editors, who, when their good friend, the Oregonian, cut them from its exchange list a few years ago, manfully swallowed their chagrin and tearfully dug up the price of a year's subscrip tion to the source of their inspi ration. This suggestion is offer ed the Journal as a sort of war measure. It may be expensive, but so are submarines; and then Gottage Grove and Ashland need the money, just as the Oregon ian did. Saturday, March 17, At that time the committee will give formal consideration to proposals that have come in from all parts of the state, asking the committee as the official body representing the legislature in the bonding act, to call a confer ence for the organization of a state committee or association which can establish an informa tion headquarters for the bond ing campaign. Such a committee would in clude representatives of local good roads organizations of all the counties of the state. Senator Wood views with fa vor the moves initiated at Asto ria, Eugene, Medford, Pendle ton and Redmond to organize state highway associations or district good roads associations. "The man thing," he said, "is to have some headquarters to is sue impartial and authentic in formation such as( is being re- Gkkmany's attempt to form quested by the different county an offensive alliance with Mex- organizations.
