It is easier to sign a paper presented than to turn it down. The average petition circulator is persuasive and unless the person accosted has a mind of his own he is tolerably sure to put his signature to the paper presented to him. More than half of the names that appear on a petition are signed without any real conception of its true meaning. There are petitions of real worth and the petitioners have strong convictions as to their worth this we admit, but unless you have a conviction, pass the petition up.— News Reporter. ——o----- As it its wont just before elections, the Democratic press is tearfully ad­ juring us to raise superior to party, principle, and measure, prove our­ selves nobly nonpartisan, and vote RUBY CARACOLA COFFEE, 10 pounds for $2.50. for the Man.

These prc­ sumptious individuals do not really worship God, but rather a defied Mo­ loch who deals in wholesale death and distruction to men, animals and property; a savage God who in their imaginations descends to man's puny level and kills for commercial ag­ grandizement and political advantage. Their God must be a brutish, savage beast. Has two thousand years of Christianity taught these exaultcd, self-appointed rulers nothing? In their wild desire to rule more terri­ tory that they may gather more taxes to be used in riotous living, in pomp and ceremony, and in furtherance of their vainglorious displays of pomp and power, do they think the Chris­ tian God will be a party to guiding armies of farmers to the distruction of armies of mechanics.

Washington, August 31.—A stamp tax on soft drinks, as well as beer and patent medicines, is contemplated by members of the House ways and means committee which is preparing an emergency from an eternal rev­ enue bill to offset treasury losses due to curtailment of imports. It is urg­ ed that soft drinks are as much lux­ uries as wines and beer and that a equitable disturbance of the tax bur­ den among all consumers would be accomplished by this plan. Another suggestion is a stamp tax of 5 or to per cent on railroad tickets and admission to theaters, baseball parks and other licensed amusements. It is estimated that from $50,000,000 to $80,000,000 could be raised in that way. The committee lias not determined upon a complete taxation plan as yet. but aims to hasten its deliberations, that a bill may be introduced soon after President Wilson addresses Congress on the subject, which prob ably will be immediately on his re­ turn from New Hampshire. Admin­ istration leaders are impressed with the necessity of quick action to dis turb business conditions as little as possible. Democrats of the Senate will dis­ cuss the emergency in a party caucus to be called later this week. A doubling of the present tax on beer, it is estimated by Treasury ex- perts, would produce $65,000,000. Some committee members, however, feel that taxation of commodities other than beer and patent medicines would cause less pupulaf friction. Among the committee Democrat ■> there has been some opposition to any war tax at all this session, the contention being that there is plcrtj of available money for present needs. Maude Muller to Date. "Maude Muller, on a summer’s day raked the meadows sweet with hay. And she raked, in the early morn, she heard the honk of the Claxton horn. Anon there drifted on the scene a car, propelled by gasoline. The Judge rode up in motor car and said to Maude: "Ah, there you are!” He killed his engine in the shade of the apple tree, to chin the maid. He spoke of the milage on his tires, as is the way of all good liars. He said his car was quite the best and had the edge on all the rest. He invited Maude to take a ride, and, nothing loth she jumped inside. The judge from a purling brooklet drank, and He forthwith started in to crank. cranked and cranked till his arm was sore, then started in and cranked some more. He cranked and cranked and cranked till he reeked with sweat, and cranked till after the sun had set. He cranked away with a right good will and, the chances a arc, he is cranking still. And of all de- vices with which we’re cursed, the auto crank is about the worst.—Ex. Artisans Clam Bake Excursion. (From the Artisan.) The Clam Bake Excursion has come and gone and in writing of it brings only happy recollections. It was surely a success from start to finish, and why not? Wasn’t that special train loaded with people bent on having a good time themselves as well as giving everyone else on that train a good time? And they did it. Such a lot of happy, beaming faces everywhere was a treat. And the children—God bless them—were hap­ py too. And then there was that big carload of eager, happy little souls in charge of Mrs. Thorram and Mrs. Bondur­ ant of the Associated Charities—who was a blessed benedetion to our trip, for isn’t it good to be permitted to share our joys and blessings with our fellow creatures, especially when they have so little in life to make them happy? So it was good to see these happy little ones anxiously watching for their first glimpse of the sea. Our band played for them, our singers sang for them, and we all loved them, very one—from the little fair-haired cripple girl on crutches to the big husky boy with freckles, who liked the hills and trees and sunshine better than he did baseball. At Bay City Mr. Baker represent­ ing the Mayor of Tillamook, boarded our train with his committee, and in a few well chosen words delivered the keys of the city over to the supreme Master Artisan, H. S. Hudson. The latter on behalf of the United Arti­ sans present accepted the City of I il lamook's hospitality graciously and in his usual kindly manner. A few min­ utes later we reached our destination —still happy and thankful for such a cordial welcome. The delegation that met us at the train lacked neither in number or en­ thusiasm, for even the children of 1 il lamook were there with fruit and flowers for the strangers. Next came an auto ride for everybody from the station to our hotels, and later we went cn mass to the Armory where one of the finest suppers ever set be­ fore mortal man was served. And say, weren't we hungry and didn’t we all just eat, and eat, and eat. "Wasn't it great? Wonderful spread that! Gee, but didn't everything taste good,” is what we heard on every hand, how hard and faithful those who served us did work, and can we ever repay their kindness or cease to ap­ preciate their hospitality, I wonder? We asked for their names and this is what the writer got: Mrs. E. O'- Ilarra, Mrs. C. P. Briggs, Mrs. Della Hoover, Mrs. Dr. Daniel . Mrs. I II. Dunston, and Mr. Fred Williams, Mr. Thomas Higgcnbothani and Mr. J. II. Dunstan. The program and dance at the Commercial Club rooms in the even­ ing was so good that it was after mid­ night before anybody even thought of sleep or resting up for the next day at Bar \ iew, and now that it is all over what do we hear? Why, this is what we hear on every hand :'*When are the Artisans going to have another ex­ cursion to Tillamook?" The
