Railroads* make provisions for pas­ sengers who think they must smoke when traveling, but the woman who insists on being seated by an open window, regardless of the comfort of others, must still be tolerated.—New­ berg Graphic. Commissioner Holman, as chair­ man of the State Association of county Judges and Commissioners, has appointed a committee to draft a new road law. The committee named consists of Walter H. Evans, E. E. Coovert, S. Benson, John H. Lewis, J. H. Albert and Leslie Butler. It is safe to say with Coovert and Benson on the committee, the proposed draft will contain none of the features of the Bingham Road Bill.—Mt. Scott Herald. Doesn't this jar you? Newbern', the staid old Quaker City of Yamhill county recently held a boxing and wrestling contest, in which young men connected with the various churches met the ring representatives from the Portland schools, and many ladies were present who were deeply interested, They had bouts in the 115, 135 and 145 pound classes, and pitted a Newberg man of 172 against a 200 pounder from Portland, the latter winning, but the Newberg- er is said to have given him a “run for his money.” Another stunt is to be pulled off in about three weeks Legitimate? Perhaps nerfectly so, but who would have thought the Quakers would have started it? The world do move.— Telephone Register. Pretty generally over the state is the impression growing that the old district road supervisor system is antiquated, impractical and unneces­ sarily expensive. It will not be sur­ prising, when the next legislature meets if the law is not repealed and a new one substituted which will pro­ vide for road building and reparing ; to be done under the supervision of a : county roadmaster, empowered with : more authority than that official now has. County Judge Watson, of Coos I county, sounded the keynote in the | campaign along this line in a recent , interview in the Oregon Journal. ' Judge Watson said that the exper­ ience of his county had proved that under the supervisor system only about 40 cents actual value was secur­ ed for every dollar invested for road work. There are 33 road supervisors in Coos county, and Mr. Watson says as a result, they have 33 different kinds of roads.—Itemizer. ------ o------ It is refreshing to see the men who stand close to the people, who each week feel the popular pulse, enter the active field of politics, heretofore monopolized by the lawyers. With a desire to bring about constructive leg­ islation, to cut down taxation and to see what is wrong with the legisla­ ture the country editors have thrown their hats in the ring. These men hope to become a part of the system, to study it at close range and to as­ certain what is at fault. The very nature of the calling of the country editor brings him in close touch with every class of people, every business and every profession and these men should prove true representatives of their respective localities. These country newspapermen are well in­ formed on topics of interest and en­ joy the confidence of their readers, who in turn realize that the editors will remain as >rue to them at Salem as they are at home. In Washington county two editors have cast their hats into the ring—A. E. Scott, editor and publisher of the News-Times and L. A. Fernsworth publisher of the Banks Herald.—News Reporter.

Emancipation of the Druggist. By Thos. H. Rogers, McMinnville, in The Oregon Voter. Prohibition has already worked wonders with one class of people— the druggist. It means his emancipa­ tion from a nefarious business at the hands of the goody-goody, the batk door sneak, the mince pie patron, the rheumatic, alcoholic friend. The dispensing ot rum and drugs does not go well hand in hand. It should have never been countenanc­ ed in the first place. It robs the drug­ gist of his virtue—of syinpatljy—of self respect. Yet because it was once the custom people will ask him to become a law breaker, an outlaw. Some of the very ones that talk prohibition loudest will ask and ex­ pect you to favor them. Hence no two hundred and fifty dollar alcohol bond tor me, thank you. Possibly a great many voters, should they have a chance now, would vote far more differently than they did in 1914. This applies largely to those who walk up and voted with their eyes shut. They simply jumped the fence with the old bell wether, never counting the cost. 1 say tins is all candor, without fear or prejudice. Ask any druggist and he will tell you the same thing. It is this class of people that makes the druggist an outlaw. When you try to explain the intent and purpose of the new law you go up against it like this: “Why, I didn’t know I voted for a thing like that. I supposed of course 1 could do as I always have—get all the whisky and alcohol 1 wanted for family use, and brandy for mince pie.’ "Listen, lady, to this tale of woe— the one you voted for and helped pass—a mighty good one too by the way, means our emancipation, and I am glad of it. I can't sell you any. That’s the word with the break on it.’ This as a rule settles that question; then comes that of beer. "Are we never to get any more beer either, not even when the weather turns hot and the water gets full of typhoid germs?” ’’Twenty-four quarts lady but not from the druggists. You will have to do as I—send in your order, then walk up like a man and sign for it.” “Yes and have everybody talking about you, and have your name in the nasty old newspapers? Not much. I'h be ashamed to do a thing like that." "Softly, lady, softly. That’s the law you helped make. When you sign up you are doing it in good faith; you are honoring it, neither disgracing it or yourself. If I was like you and wanted whisky or brandy or alcohol and was ashamed to sign up I would be ashamed to drink it. It's going to be like this hereafter: “Nixum whisky, nixum rye, Nixum brandy for mince pie.” Nazarene Church. Sunday school at io. Preaching at it and 7:30. Young peoples meeting, 6:30.

Croy in Leslie's Weegly. ——o ■ A tall, gaunt, barefooted Missouri hill-billy stood beside his rattly, disli wheeleo wagon, waiting to see the niignty proprietor oi the sawmill, who guessed only too well that the tull-bnly Had something lie wanted to swap for lumber. “What can 1 do for you,” The hiliinan shifted his weight un­ easily. "1 'low 1 got something ot a powerful lot of interest to yuh.” Reaching over the side ot the wa­ gon he placed his rough hand tender­ ly on a black lump. "1 guess yuh Know what it is.” 1 he sawmill proprietor glanced at it deprecatingly and turned toward the mill. “It’s lead, partner, pure lead, and 1 know where it come from, 1 could take you right to the spot—ef 1 want­ ed to.” The mill propietor hooked a row ol lingers under the rough stone and tried to lift it, but he could not budge it. “It docs seem to have lead in it. vvhat was you cal’c’lating askin’ for showin' me where you toutid it?” The farmer from the foothills cut his eye down to crafty slits. “ I was lowing just the other day as how’ a nouse pattern would come in handy. Ef you 11 saw me out one 1’11 take you to the spot.” And so the deal was consummated, the hill-billy gleefully driving away, joyous over having got a fine house pattern worth $40 for merely showing a fellow where you could pick up a few hunks of lead. Opening Joplin’s Mine. That was forty live years ago and it was thus that the great Joplin lead and zinc district was made known to the world. In the tall of 1914 a mine operator noticed a faint stirring on the part 01 “jack,” as the miners call zinc ore. Il was a long time before the people oi Joplin Mo., connected the booming of the big guns at Liege, Reims and along the Aisne with the upward movement of “jack”. Then they re­ membered that the Germans had con­ trol of the zinc mines in Belgium, and ..hat now the allies must look else where for their zinc. Zinc combined with copper makes brass. The big rise began about the 1st of January, 1915, and during that ycai staid, quiet Joplin was a boom town. Nome suddenly moved to Jasper county. Patient, plodding and straight forward citizens who thought it was wicked to stay up after 11 got night keys and began taking tango lessons from an English dancing instructor with a small refined mustache and a broad accent. Wives who had shop­ ped regularly for fifteen years out of mail order catalogues, suddenly had to go to St.Louis for fittings, and wrist watches became as common as fried eggs. Prices Soar and Soar. “Jack” had been selling for $35 a ton, but it began to edge up; $40. $50. $60—upward it crept more and more excited. When it reached $80 the autos got so thick that pedestrians went out only in twos and threes. But it was not to stop—onward, upward it soared. When it reached $90 the Browning clubs and new thought or­ ganizations had to go out of business on account of the cabarets and these dansants. Steadily “jack" climbed un­ til it hit $100, when they had a dem onstration on the streets with a band to play and an orator in a frock coat to tell them about this glorious com­ monwealth where every bey may be president, to say nothing of the grow­ ing electoral chances of the girls. But the end was not yet “jack" kept right on going up. One hundred and ten it struck and went on through, headed in the general direction of th« Wilky Way. The very highest, tip- topest price of all was by Orleans Longacre for a limited amount at $139.60. During 1915 the streets of Joplin and Webb City run with Euro­ pean money. The spirit of ‘49 was up­ on them. Into the district tumbled hundreds of miners; the wages paid the men under ground—the shovelers the machine men, the powder mon keys, the tub hookers—doubled. There are no unions in the Joplin dis­ trict, and no foreign labor; everybody speaks English or he doesn’t work, that’s all. The miners see to that themselves. Wages Fixed By Market. A sliding scale of wages was made for the miners by the operators. When ore went up the miners were to be paid more; when it went down they were to get less. The machine men (the workers who run the drills) were getting $2.25 a day before the boom started. They are now getting from $4.25 to $4.50. The Webb City zinc mills go right on grinding and the millionaires go right on tumbling out of the hopper. The men who have been working in the mines on salary lease a few acres, sink a shaft and install a grand piano. You never can tell who is going to be the next millionaire, and you never can tell ’em by the way they look. There is none of this quiet, rich dres­ sing with imported shades and exclu­ sive patterns that we read about. In­ stead the neophyte who has just been admitted to the exclusive and much- envied financial fraternity wears high laced boots, a khaki coat, jump­ ers and a string tie that has seen much active service. The poor humble looking man you feel sorry for you find has just signed the contract for a summer bungalow in the Berkshire« and his wife has run out to California to get out of the run and to acquire ideas for her next paper on prune culture. Some New Made MiUionairet. Emmet Pulver, before the war started, was a machine man, trudging to work at 7 in the morning and com­ ing back just as the general delivery window closed in the evening When the war opened and "jack” began to go up he got permission to "clean up the columns of'one of the old mines. In a sheet ground mine pillars of nat­ ural rock are left standing to keep the roof from falling in. The pillars are 50 feet in circumference, and the work of taking them out is very dan- . gcrous, for one of the dynamite ex- 1 plosions may be too heavy, and down on you come 10,000,090 tons of earth. But Pulver cleaned up his coluams successfully and is now out for mayAr of Webb City. He has made $40,00*1 jince the war began.
