so S AGES SAY.

1t is better TO suffer than 10 sin.
Bad habits are thistles in the heart.
We are all giants to somebody else.
A ba6 reputation is hard thing To
lose.
1t takes more courage TO endure
than to act
1t is as bad to rob man of his
peace as it is to take his n.~-.y.
No man is fit to lead who has not
the courage TO stand aloue
No man is more to be pitied than
The one who is satisfied with himself
Too many men never praise their
wives until after they bury them.
No man fights harder battle than
the one who is trying to overcome
himself.
No man should try to teach others
what he does not know To be true
himself
No man ought to forget that good
many other people will set their
watches oy his clock.
No man ought to forget that if he
sows wild oats he will have TO reap
the same kind of crop.
1t is as bad to hate a man as it is to
kill him. 1t is as wicked not to DC
right as it is to do wrong
One of two things is true. We
either give according to or means or
according to our meanness
IL is a bad thing to never do any
thing that you ought to do without
Dragging about il, OF to profess ia
public what you are not willing to
practice in private.

General Idleman as follows on the rail-
road commission decisions:
The attorney generals opinion is a
sided opinion. lie does not give
both sides OF the question He does not
give the decisions, ami there are many
strong opinions rendered, against such
commissions holding over. His decision
is not q fair treatment of the question.
The attorney general takes the position
of an attorney employed by the defend
ant commissioners instead OF taking the
side of the state and the side of the pea-
pie. He plainly says to the people, il

The moral wave in Portland is bring
ing out the need of greater purity of
character in private life. There seems
to be an idea that the ministers OF Port
land are the ones prosecuting the women;
but as matter OF fact they treated the
matter very plainly, and boldly blamed
the owners of property and the men who
patronize them just as much. The Sun
says:
DR.. Wallace was opposed to last weeks
raid because it sas class persecution.
Why we're the gamblers notified to close
without being arrested, when informa-
tion concerning them was given to the
grand jurS? The gamblers had money,
votes and political influence; these wo-
men have none, ard so they are prose
cuted while the others escape.
"Why are the owners of the houses
rented for impure purposes not arrested
likewise the owners OF gambling houses
Why persecute the Inmates and fail t.
arrest the patrons of these houses? ?" ask
ed the speaker.
''The raid," he continued, sis imprac.
tical, because it offers no permanent sol
ution of the evl.'
