TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT, JUNE 22, 190-> ibe ^illamooh íjnibligbt. Krad <J. Baker. Publialier Getting Scared of signalling and track inspection than were once in vogue have also conduced to the same result. In the mean time these and other innovations have pro- moted the comfort of lailway travel. A nan can ride fifty or sixty miles an hour to-day with less jar, lurching and con sciousness of movement than he endured when he went at half that speed twenty, five years ago. And the limit has not been reached. “ The republican candidate to run well would haye to mean something to the taxpayer and to the producer. For it is a fact that no man is sure of an office these days unless the people un derstand his program. ” To be sure of election he must not only be a good man but he must have a good program and have the char acter, the ability, and the integrity to pul it into execution.—Albany Herald.

Hardware, Tinware, Glass and China, TO THE EDITOR TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT. How many of us can look back to an action that was ungoverned by thought, that ended disasterously ? A little child acts from impulse without discretion, When it arrives at years of accounta- bility we say he should think first, Christ advised the return to childhood as the first requisite to the kingdom of God. It is just as necessary to be pre pared to act from impulse as it is to be qualified for any other undertaking. A doctor must study medicine, a lawyer, law, a farmer the nature of plants and domestic animals, etc., in order to be a success, To be successful at anything is better i than to be a failure at every- thing. Christianity claims the ability to change a man from having to think of what he is going io say, or how he is going to act, or what he is going to do, to an impulsive life, free from law and order, the absolute sensation of doing as you please. This brings a Christian face to face with a lunatic asylum, for to give away to impulse is just what every insane person does. My kindest advice is not to yield to impulse until prepared to do so, for every one of those people who do have to regret. To them an asylum is a cross every moment, but if I should want to rest or recreate, I would go over to the asylum. The doctors at the asylum tell me that I haven’t any right there, but I never saw a minister yet that would agree with them. The difference is between being prepared and unprepared. The Egyptians were drowned by assaying to do what the Israelites did. If we follow our im pulse, the preacher who imagines that God has a great work for him to do is out of a job. If we use our own light we don’t have to be guided by others. That is what characterizes an American man or woman. J. C. G ove .
