THE FUTURE
lie's got a lutue front of him .
Tim's what they UHed to nay ot J lin
For wlieo young Jim whs only teu
He initialed with the widest nieti
With wisest uifU he used to mix
And talk of hiw nud politics
Till every body said of J liu
He's got a future front of him.
When Jim wns twenty years of age
All costumed ready for the stage
He had a perfect man's physique,
Aud knew philosophy and Urwk.
He'd delved In every musty tome
Of old Arabia and Home
And still the people said of Jim
He's got a future front of him.
When Jim was thirty years of age
H'd made a world wide pilgrim
age He'd walked and studied 'ueath the
trees
Of German Universities
He,d visited and pondered on
The sites of Thebes aud liabylon
And still the people said of Jim
He's got a future trout ot him.
The heir to all earth's heritage
Was Jim at forty years of age
The lore of all the years wan shut
And focused In his occiput
And people thought so much he knew
what wondros things our Jim
will do,
They more than ever-said of Jfm
lie's got a future front ot him
At flfty years though Jim was
changed
He bad his knowledge well ar
ranged All tabulated, eystemlzed,
And adequately syutheslzed
His bead was so well filled within
He thought, I'm ready to begin
And still the people uld of Jim
He's got a future front of bliu
At sixty no more need be said.
At sixty years poor Jim was dead.
The p -eacher said that such us he
Would shine through all eternity
In other worlds beyond the blue
There was great work for J iiu to do
And oe'r his bier 'twiu said of Jim
He's got a future front of him
The great deeds we are going to do
Shine 'gainst the back ground of
the blue
Like sunset clouds of lurid lllit
Against the back ground of the
night
And thus we climb the endless slope
Far up the crownlesH heights of
hope
And each one makes himself a Jim
And rears a future front of liliu.
Hum Walter Foss.

I HE ROAD TO LOWER
TAXES
Our governor promised before
election to do his best for tax
reduction and the legislative can
didates were all pledged to econ
omy. The legislative have come and
gone and the governor is re
ported to be taking a rest' after
having presumably done his
derndest for tax reduction, but
nobody will be able to find any
shrinkage in his next year's tax
receipt, which moves us to ask if
there is any way to tax reduc
tion. After due meditation we will
say there is.

xaxes were low rorty years

mud, when it was a good davs
work to make the round trip
from lone to Heppner; when
there were no public high schools
and when higher education was
chiefly given in sectarian insti

churches, when many principal
highways and most bridges were
straddled by toll gates. We can

MOSQUITOPLANES
"Mosquito" planes, little one
man flivvers carrying motorcycle
engines and weighing less than
the average motorcycle, were
features of the recent airplan
races at Dayton, Ohio. Some
of these miniature machines,
that a stout man might almost
carry on his back. Made up to
ninety miles an hour, on a gas
consumption comparable to that
of the motorcycle on land. It is
predicted that these little ma
chines, maoe in quantities or
standardardized patterns, might
be sold for less than the cheap

A WISH
Let me live in a house by the
side of the road,
Where the race of men goes by;
Some are wise, foolish, strong,
weak;
But so am I.
So why should I sit on the
mourner's bench,
Or hurl the cynic's ban;
Let me live in a house by the
side of the road
And be a friend to man.

The Ofliiccr Also has Some
. Rights
Portland newspapers have
overworked their criticism of
law enforcement officers because
of a blunder Dv one policeman.
Mistakes of that sort are unavoid
able at times but they can be
dealt with without upsetting the
whole law enforcement program
and without making bootleggers
and moonshiners think they are
oppressed heroes w hose name be
long in the Hall of Fame.
If newopayers persist in brand
ing as stoo pigeons and outcasts
every man or woman who does
detective work or otherwise aids
officers in tracing law violators,
the net result will be security for
bootleggers, but not for the
public. If we want the law en
forced, give the officers a chance
and back them up without quib
ble or camouflage. If we don't
want the law enforced, repeal it.
