TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT. MARCH 9. 1916. What the Editors Say. I I I I I Eugene »«..the first community to line up in response to the call 10 see what can be done in the way of grow- ing flax successfully. Merely a man- ifestation of the Eugene spirit.— Oregon Register. The cold blooded murder last week in Josephine county of an old couple on their way to Sunday school, re calls the numerous atrocious crimes of this nature that have been commit ted in Oregon since the repeal o.' capital punishment for murder. With the lieniency shown criminals and the abuse of the paroling and pordoning power of recent chief executives, few people with murder in their hearts hesitate to carry out their evil designs. It is questionable if the peo ple did not make a serious mistake when they abolished capital punish ment in this state.—Itemizer. ------o 1 Nearly every town has two classes of citizens—the boosters and the kil lers. All the world loves the former, but even the devil shuns the latter. Be a booster! The town booster is known by everybody, for he is always doing and saying something to push his town and his people along. He is the man who makes the town. The killer is the one who destroyes it. Be a booster! The booster never loses anything but his boosting. He boosts other people and other people boost him, ’and through this combination of boosting great things are accomplish ed. It is only the killer who fails of his own deeds. Be a booster! The booster is like a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day. He brightens everything and everybody around him. His Gen iality, his cheerfulness, his energy and his good deeds breed hope in tiie bosom of dispair. His words and his acts aid others and enable himself. But the killer only kills, kills, kills! Be a booster.—Ione Journal. Standing beside his royal and im- penal sire, a long and safe distance from the battlefield, the Crown [ Prince gave orders to his command- I ing generals to take Verdun at what- | ever cost of men the victory might t involve. After the conflict—stid to | have been the most sanguinary in | histroy—the tri-color of France still ’ floated over Verdun and a hundred r thousand German soldiers had per- I ished. Inasmuch as the CrownPrince [ and Kaiser are engaged in war, and 1 as they undoubtedly believe that the I possession of Verdun was vital to the [ success of their plans, they no doubt I felt justified in sending to be slaught- tered not only as many men as the F French could conviently kill, but en- I ough to so effectually tire the French I in their task that they wTnild succumb I to weariness, be overwhelmed, and I yield the goal for which the Germans I strove. That is war, in which, as in »everything else, a man must “contend ■ to the uttermost for his life’s set I prize.” The sin that Robert Brown- II ing would have imputed to the Crown Prince and Kaiser“is the unlit lamp and the ungirt loin”—because in fail ing to have enough men ready for the slaughter, they permitted their plans 1 to fail. History will not remember I Verdun so much for the failure of the I Germans to take it as for the splendid | heroism of the French in holding it. [What a magnificent people the ¡French are.—The Spectator. Salem, Portland and Other Hogs. ----- o------ Some grandmotherly old woman I once when the matter of naming the I animals by Adam was being discuss- I ed, said she, “thought it must have i been an awful hard job to think of all I the names and make them fit the 'animals so well, but any blamed fool I of a man could have named a hog.” Maybe it is because of the ease with which that name can be saddled onto any person, place or thing, that it is done so frequently. Here in Ore gon the first to try his hand on this kind of metaphor, selected Salem, and, “the Salem hog” at once got a reputation for greediness that extend ed over the entire state. The term was applied to someone outside of Salem who wanted office, as discriptive of some other one liv ing in, or located at Salem, who wanted the same office, There is a wide difference between the terms “living in” and “located at,” but it is a difference that the assiduous office- seeker seldom draws. Let a man be elected to any state office which re quires his presence here, should he run again to succeed himself, he is at once credited to Salem, and Salem is tat once a candidate for the hog pen. r i If there is an appropriation asked to make necessary extensions or repairs to state property located at the cap- lital, “the Salem hog” is accused of (saddling this coat onto the state, and I of devouring the appropriation at a I gulp, just to satisfy an inordinate I craving. Salem is credited however I with being a political hog principally, t and only a piglet otherwise. She isn’t in it with Portland when lit comes to being the whole hog. Ac- [ cording to some, our metropolis is I the boss Berkshire of the coast. To I others she is the Poland China for ham, the Chester White for the side meat, the Duroc for color and the razor-back for bristles, tail, snout, I speed and appetite. There are others that it would seem | had as much right to get into the por- | cine pen as Salem and Portland, but somehow they manage to avoid the name. No one ever hears of the Cor vallis hog; yet nearly one-seventh of all the taxes collected by the state go I f to the Agriculture College. We are not objecting to this, but merely pointing out that some of the nomenclature folks are overlooking I an opportunity. I About $150,000 a year goes to the ! branch asylum at Pendleton, which i should make some shote for the "Let ’er buck” community. About $280,000 a year goes to the I University of Oregon, which makes Eugene big enough to have a ring in 1 her nose. , Then there are the soldiers’ home, normal schools and other institutions scattered over the state. The circuit Judges get $100,000, the district attorneys $68,000 and the ly.

Uncle Silas Says. ------- o Mr. Osburn—I was very highly en tertained by the young man you have employed when 1 was over at your place yesterday during your absence. 1 had heard of him through Bobby Jenkins, who became acquainted with him at the agricultural college. It seems that the young man graduated at the close of last term and from his talk to me 1 infer he knows every thing that is worth knowing. Well, he is quite young, and we must make allowances for his conceit. Nothing in all this age of wonderful progress quite equals the intuitive knowledge of youth. It is as though all the wis dom of the ages has been showered upon the present generation, and the sum total of everything has been crystallized in the mind of the new- born child. W e old fogies must keep a room full of reference books and refer to them for facts, but for spon taneous wisdom and cocksure know ledge the child of 10 will beat the man pf 50, and the young man of 20 absolutely knows that the man of 70 is densely ignorant, of the world’s progress. Like the present youth, 1, too, once knew everything; but, find ing myself too far in advance of my time, 1 began unlearning learning un til now 1 am absolutely nothing. That leaves me in the extra pleasant state of mind of second childhood and newspaper reading. Anybody’s grand son who has passed the age of riding wooden horses knows a great deal more than his grandfather about everything. The various intellectual bumps on his head continue to devel op, though his hair fails to grow, and at the age of 7 he looks like a man of 92. The ordinary office boy is much wiser as a business asset than his em ployer, and if he stays on the job long enough it is probable that the boss will know something of business He is generally very polite and on the whole treats his employer well, but probably his condesccntion is due to the fact that his employer con tinues to hold on to the bank account. Sister Sue, you say you would like to live a hundred years. Well, you certainly bid fair to get there, but the fact is that long or short life depends upon the use or abuse of the body. 1 here is not much doubt that a hun- dren years is the normal length of life if there is normal care taken of it from childhood. The creater did a good job; the trouble is the people commit slow suicide. The stomach is the storm center of the body. All other organs sympathize with it in its every-day misery. The comamnd to work six days and rest the seventh day man does not apply to his stomach. The poor thing has to be loaded up three times a day and on Sundays it has an extra task. Eat and sleep is the order on Sunday just like the hogs. It is said it is better to wear out than to rust out. History does not record a case where the human stomach rusted out; it works days and night until the lining gets full of holes, and then the sexton is called to dig a hole in the ground. Indigestion is another name for too much digestion. As long as eatibles and drinkables taste good when they are going down the gullet the stomach has to be a chattie slave and when disease comes then every other part of the bady suffers. When the drunkard fills up on "booze” then the brain wants to go to sleep to give the stomach time to wrestle with its load. When the glutten gives his stomach a Belshazzar load, then the heart forgets to pump and the hand writing appears on the wall. Man and women will probably never be angels in this world because they fail to use the angelic faculties that they have. The moral business is to get the ker-. nel of truth out of a large quantity of chaff. Methuseleh, we are told, lived 969 years. Who believe it? The truth is he lived 969 months, which made • him 86 years and 9 months old when he died. Away back in the ages some smart jake, to make a sensation, changed months into years, so it has come down through tradition, which is always more or less untruthful. A human heart never pumped blood nearly a thousand years. Human lungs never pumped air that length of time. People get deaf, dumb, blind and embicle before they get much be yond 125 years old. People are not overstocked with brains when they are young and the little they have in the beginning is about gone at 100 years of life; so don't pray to live much beyond that. The much-vaunt ed pleasures of old age are mythical. An extravagant idea will travel half around the earth while a plain truth is getting its boots on.

A. ¡3 real tobacco Charley Chaplin and Others. Charlie Chaplin, the idol of i movie audience is also worshipped of the movie managers. Because the people want him. And that they must have him at any price, the reported closing of a contract with him tor the enormous pay of $600,000 during the coming year is ample evidence. The contract, is of course, tor one year only. Even movie managers could not make such terms for a contract cov ering a series of years But what of that? As the case stands , Charlie Chaplin will draw in that one year if this report is true, enough to pay him twice the amount of money which will be paid to Mr. Wilson during the term of his four year contract between him and the United States. And, as things look now, Charley Chaplin is more likely to have his contract renewed at the end of the designated time than is the president. But it may not be renewed at the same figure. Charley niay strike for a raise, and even shorter working hours No matter how he may feel about it now, in the flush of such a triumph, he is almost sure before the end of the contract year to reach the con clusion that he is being under paid. That is human nature. And Charley Chaplin, like the Grand Monarque of France, may need to assure thous ands of his worshipers that he is on ly human-. But he need not offer us any such assurance. We are convinc ed that he is so far human that he will be growing dissatisfied with his $600,000 before the time comes when he can ask for an advance. Railroad presidents, baseball managers and baseball pitchers, plumbers and all of the men who are on the topnotches of money making, should try to form a labor federation with Charlie Chap lin and then level up the scale of fed eration wages to his. It would not de pend on Charlie whether such a labor federation could be made. We doubt if the railroads, under present trying conditions, would undertake to pay their presidents even an approxima tion of the Chaplin salary, and this year’s outlook for baseball holds out little hope of such an attempt being made. Not even the plumber’s lead- pipe cinch could put him in such run ning. As for making the salary of the president of the United States even half of Charlie Chaplin's, the thing will never be thought of we elect a. president pn:sident who can make hims himself look aift act as Charlie does .. and _..J make, therefore, the same appeal to the populace. __________ the nationally tmcke will do for you what it has done for thousands .r* WM / of men, not only in the r > ■ ä , 1 £ H .'r States but all over the P1Vk world I It will give you a correct idea of what a Ikly pipe smoke or a home- v*d tin you will “Pvo.rwa Patented July 30th, 1007,” which rolled cigarette should be. ho made three men amok? pipes where one etnuked hut ora I Get this Prince Albert pipe-peace and makin’s-peace message, yea men who have “retired” from pipe and cigarette-makin’s pleasure; you men who have never known its solace!

You should help them at their work. Let one who knows tell you how. Mrs. Lydia Pearson, 1017 Third St., McMinnville, Ore., says: “Pain in my back bothered me a great deal. I had headaches and often felt tired. I tried a number of medicines but nothing seemed to give me much relief. After taking Doan's Kidney Pills a short time, I was entirely free from kidney disease. The backache and other troubles left me. (Statement given Aug. 28, 1907). Over five years later Mr. Pearson, said: “I have had no kidney trouble to speak of since using Doan’s Kid ney Pills.” Price 50c. at all dealers. Don’t simp ly ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Pearson has twice publicly rec- ommended. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. ALL TIRED OUT. Just What Was Expected. Speaker Champ Clark says that the Vnucrwood bill is doing •V'Ji what was expected of it. Champ no doubt in tended that statement for a defense of the bill, which embraced the tanif policy of the Democratic party. When considered in connection with the facts, the statement, instead of a de_- fense of the measure, is a generous but damaging admission. The Under wood bill is doing what was expected of it by those who are capable of comprehending the dangers of free trade. It created a depression of busi ness previous to the war as great in extent as the geography of the coun try. It is permitted 71 per cent of our imports to come in free of duty. It has proven a dismal failure as a pro ducer of revenue, which, even accord ing to a Democratic standard, is a necessary function of a tariff. It was claimed for it by its friends that it would reduce the cost of living. It has been about as successful in that particular as Henry Ford has been in stopping the European war. Yes, Speaker Clark is right. The Under- wood bill has done what was expect- ed—that was expected by its oppon- ents rather than its friends. I Notice of Appointment of Adminis trator.

As soon as kidneys are diseased, arterial tension is inoreased and the heart functions are attacked. When the kidneys no longer pour forth waste, uremic poisoning occurs and the person dies, and the cause is often given as heart disease, or disease cf brain or lungs.

Now They Want another Juat Like it A number of energetic Republicans are making their campaigns against the present Wilson tariff. When the war is over it will be demonstrated that the Wilson tariff is a failure. It will be a failure at a revenue producer and also as a pro- tection to the American people. But let us remember that the Wil- son tariff was made possible by Re publican agitation. The Democrats never could have made it. The Demo crats could never have converted the American people. The conversion was made by dissatisfied and ambi tious Republicans. It is gratifying to know that the Republicans who made the present tariff possible have seetr the error of their ways. The Wiisoo tariff is a mistake, but let us not place the blame entirely upon the Democrats. The Fayne-Aldrich tariff brought prosperity, and a large number of Republican leaders, finding it neces sary to have something to talk about found fault with it. They made it ap pear a hideous thing—and now they want another just like it. IL J. REYNOLDS TOBACCO CO., Winnton-Salem, N. C. An Optimist A man who owns a For Sale.
