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

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.
