THOUGH WE naturally expected q
share of the Sheriff's patronage If Mr..
Martin was elected, no extreme motives
of delicaey prevented us from defend
ing Mr.. Martin In his claims for the
commission to which he was rightfulIy
entitled, without being Influenced by
expected remuneration in the way OF
patronage. We advocated his claim
because he was fairly elected by ma
iority Of nine votes and had we re-
NAMED quiet during the attempt to
take from him his rights by reVolu-
tionary minority Of the canvassing
board we would have been righHully
charged with being Indifferent to the
cause of justice. We expected a share
of official patronage, We want share
of it, and we believe we will get 1t, but
these we're not the controlling motives
for supporting justice instead of favor
ing an attempt to commit a wrong by
remaining silent.

In another column will be found
an article headed "A Voice Westward"
written undoubtedly in the interest of
a branch railroad from Centraiia to
Vesper, and from there to Auburndale
We cannot suggest any particular way
to get the citizens to act on this pro-
ject only by calling a public mass
meeting Such road would be for
the best interests of both Centralia
and Grand Rapids, and would open up
one of the most valuable tracts Of
timber land in this county. We
would be heartily in favor of such a
road and We are of the opinion that
most of the citizens Of Centraiia
would be. Let's here from others on
this subject

Will You Behave +?
L. KRONER,
City Clerk.

Uoou OehaVlOr mas not yet become a
universal art and like righteousness,
there is little immediate prospect Of
its becoming universal The heads
that toss the finest millinery do not
monopolize the best maxims of good
manners, You are elegantly refined,
are you? You are daintily fastidious.
You are acquainted with the delicate
art of fattery, you have mastered,
the vocabulary of small talk, in the
presence Of stranger you are not
abashed, you have grace and charm
of manner that you think entltle you
to the claim of being we'll behaved.
You are shocked and hold up your
white. jeweled fingers In a horror
of protestation when | tell you you
are i'll behaved. [ saw you trample
upon the common rights Of people the
other day when it was almost necessary
to get off the sidewalk ia order to pass
you. You were arm in ARIA with
friend and so thoughtless were you of
the comfort of other people that you
monopolized the walk. 1t was a bit
of vulgarity on your part, you dainty
thing. You, with all your elegance of
toilet, were ruder than that rough
woodmsn with gold braided broad brim
and suit of blue who instinctively gave
you full half the walk. SeI6shness
is a dominant trait in your character
and you little thought you were max
ing public declaration of the fact
when you were guilty of this gross
breach of street etiquette.
1t was a fine appearance you made
at church, to be sure You were as
fresh as rose en- dewy morn in
June. Your toilet was in exquisite
taste. You were the incarnation of
all fitting proprieties. To suggest that
your behavior was such as did not
become leader in society would be
equivalent to high SANDER. Woe is
ME. the inspiration is on me to tell the
truth-you behaved very i'll. There
was neither token of reverence during
prayer nor of attention during sermon.
While it might be proper to anaIyze
a toilet at dress party the eyes that
do this at church convict their owner
of being ill-bred. You did not turn
your face to the speaker as a sign of
attention. You fumbled hymn hook,
you hooked hypercritical, you-must it
be said-p positively yawned, yen con-
suited your pretty little watch and
gave many indications of selfconscious-
ness.
Perhap. you have arrived at such a
pitch OF alleged gentllity as to be
superbly Indifferent that you did so
deport yourself: Does it then shock
your sensitive nerves that we demon.
mate you genteel boor? Shall white
hands and tasteful toilet and an
acknowledged position in society atone
your snperciliouSness and vulgarities
of manner? Will millinery Justify
rudeness Z Does elegance authorize
boorlshness? Is pig less a pis
because he has a jewel in his nose ?
Would a peacocks voice be the more
musical if it had diamond necklace
about its throat? You have the
diamond necklace on but your voice
oetrays you. You have the jewel in
your nose but. do not deceive yourself,
everybody recognizes your grunt
The time has gone by when so called
sentllity can ilI-behave with IMMUNITY.
Will you behave yourself
