Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Perry. The proprietors of full gasoline tanks all last summer, are now con fronted with the empty cupboard. Science has succeeded in restoring ' youth to 1012 convicts in San Quenlin prison, and all are well situated to enjoy it EX-PRESIDEXT WILSON' must appreciate that old maxim "Si lenee is Golden." For-two years and more the former presi-' dent has maintained silence, he has even resisted the temptation to dictate his Memoirs and as a result he today enjoys what approxi mates a return to his former prestige and popularity. When ex-Premier Clemeneeau addressed a mass meeting in Xew York City a few days ago, his mention of Wilson's name brought the greatest spontaneous demonstration of the evening. According to the "Movie News" flashing President Wilson on the screen today brings "tremendous applause in nearly every section of the country." This phenommena is interesting in showing the volatility of popu lar favor.. Kvery public man in a Democracy has suffered a similar experience, from the duys of Aristides, through Washington, Lincoln and Roosevelt, to our contemporary political luminaries, Taft, Hard ing and Wilson. .- t Democracies are proverbial ungrateful. Hut sooner or later. usually later, something akin to justice is done. In this direction the letters of Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the interior under Wilson, throw an interesting sidelight. According to Mr. Lane, the anti-Wilson tide set in with the Presi dent's appeal to the American people to elect a Democratic congress. It seems President Wilson did not favor the move, alul at a cabi net meeting talked against it. Hut former Postmaster General Hurle son, one of the administration's hard-boiled politicians, favored it vehemently. "What the Democrats want," said he, "is a leader with GUTS!" This somewhat colloquial remark, it seems, made a great impres sion on the President. He made no reply, but the doubt regarding his intestinal capacity, apparently struck home. The following day the manifesto was issued, and President Wilson's greatest political blun der was inscribed on the pages of American history. Regarding the turkeys with a IrAU for pebbles, there is always plenty o gravel in a sack of beanB. A PUZZLED PRINTER - (Marshfield News) J. A. Edlund, pastor. Sunday school at 10 a. m.; services in Swedish at 2 p. m. The pastor will dwell on the life and character of the late Rev. l'eter (you've got mo) the foundor of our church on the Pacific coast, coming to the ... Coos Bay country in 1884. He was , born in Sweden, December 7, 1822; came to America In 18G4; came to 'Portland, 1879. Ladles' Aid 2 p. in. , A LADY TALK8 My boss is a great believer in fresh air for the other fellow. He opens 'the back door, he opens the front door, he opens all the windows, puts on the overcoat he brought from Minnesota, The interesting feature of this incident is that a foolish personal pride undoubtedly led Mr. Wilson to do what his judgment condemn ed, led him to act a part, to be untrue to himself. lint ihcre is reason to believe Mr. Wilson learned his le.s.so:i. Un doubtedly the temptalions to break his silence since 19J0 have been many, the pressure at times from some of his best political supporters must have been intense, but through it all the former President has kept his own council, let the world of friends aiid foes slip by, firm in his belief that ultimately his faith would be fulfilled, that justice would be done. In this attitude Mr. Wilson has been true to. himself as a gentle man and a scholar. In public or private life, his is one of ,the hardest things to do, but most serious troubles, political or domestic, could be avoided if one had the wisdom and the steadfast courage to never falter from Horatio's advice : . ' "To thine own self be true, '. '. And -it must follow -as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to'any man." Tongue Twisters (To be read aloud) By C. L. EDSON, Author of the Gentle Art of Columning.

Nat La Touche said: "I won't let yuh Take me to the booby hutch, youh Snooty, snltchy, grouchy Pat G.; If you move an Inch, I'll shoot , yuh." Pat G.

But, 1 found out something else that I believe that it would be good for the people of the Rogue River valley, to practice for a while as follows: And that' Is to quit knocking and try booostlng for a while. I was! showing some land over in Calif or-1 nia, and my party says to me, drive; In here, I want to talk with this land owner. So we went in ana my party said to the land owner, how Is' the land around here, do you con sider the prices high, and what inter est if any will you get, or what in terest will the crops pay on your in vestment? . Well, we called that day on a doz en or more farmers and they all said I about the same thing. No one did: we find that had any kick coming. I ( was there for three days and wei called on people every day and we failed to find anv knockers, and 1 asked one farmer why It was so, and be said to me, that he had bought a farm there and that he was stung, but, said he to me, I did not make nnv fuss about It, as every one that ! had asked about the place before I bought it had all boosted It, so he said to me, we all boost. It pays. Now people of the Rogue River valley, lets try this boosting act for a while and by so doing I believe that we will gain by It, we will also get new people In here to help wipe out this debt that we have, also It will sure lower taxes, just look the situa tion square in the face for a minute: We have about 800,000 population in the state of Oregon, now if we could increase this to 1,600,000, we would have just twice as many peo ple to pay taxes, and that would lower the taxes on each one of us. Then we could soon get In Bhape sq as we would advance In all kinds of Industry.

AST night a dog, in mournful tones, the gibbous moon was bavins', and then I felt throuuh nerves and bones a sort of palsy playing. For I was taught when I was young (what tales I used to swallow!) that when a bow-wow thus gave tongue, dis aster soon would follow. "An evil sign," the beldames said, my sweat of terror marking; "and some one will be lying dead when moonlit dogs are barking." Some fifty years have gone away since first these tales wero told me; yet when I hear the black do gbny the old time fours enfold, me. I know such fears are empty things, that dogs are not prophetic, but knowledge gained in childhood clings and is it not pathetic? Tho grownup's heart in darkness quails, or breaks like something brittle, because of fierce and frightful tales he heard when he was little. 1 lay in fear a little while, 1 sweated and I shivered, and then 1 said, with ghastly smile, "Am I not ehicken-livered ? Shall that cheap ban dog bay tho old-time fears enfold me. I know such fears are soaked him with a brick and slept in pence till morning. enjoyed by tho rich and poor children of the cities? This is the leading question which should be in the mind of overy citizen during education week. How about tho county unit admlniHtratlve system; If the city elementary schools nre taught over nine months In the year by teachers receiving $12ti0'und the country schools, are .tausht eight months in the year by 'teachers re ceiving less than J700, are the coun try children receiving a square Meal? The wuy to equalize educational opportunity is from the bottom up, not from tho top down. - - - We must equalize educational op portunity by replacing tho worst type of school wo have and giving the children in It a chance somewhere equal to thnt given children In the best type. About the only good way to do thin is, to nbosrb the little schools into larger ones, to consoli date thcni.' Consolidation has been tried for the Inst eighty years and whenever Intelligently and carefully done, It has been n success In the sense that It has greatly Increased tho opportunities for education that were being given to tho children in tho little school. It is within the power of tho large consolidation to meet all the requirements of tho finest type of school known to be In the adv.'inro guard of education. Let all have an equal onnortunltv for education. A squaro deal for the countrv boy anu girl. A. B. C. iF STOMACH IS TROUBLING YOU Instantly!
