The twentieth century will demand
a more practical education than is re-
quired Of young people today. 1t will
have little room for the man OF theo-
ries or the mere book-worm. He who
would win its laure.s must be ex-
tremely sensible and practicable.
Our young men are standing on the
threshold OF marvellous century.
Opportunities which the world has
never seen before confront them. No
generation which has preceded us has
had anything like the chance that
awaits the young Of today.

Conditions in Porto Rico have great
ly improved since the American occu-
patton of the island. An efficient
Geographic system has been establish
ed, and roads are in process of con-
struction which will make all parts of
the island easily accessible. The judi
ciary has been reformed; schools have
been recognized and improved; an
efficient police force has put down
brigandage,-once the curse OF the
island--and rendered life and property
generally secure. Improved sanitation
has had marked effects in promoting
public health, and under the new order
OF things, it is safe to assume that, as
time passes, the island will enjoy a
prosperity hitherto unknown in its
history.

These two stories are told OF the
late and famous Henry Wa I'd Beacher:
A country clergyman once sought his
advice as to what should be dons with
persons who went to sleep in church.
a problem which, it seems, the country
preacher had found rather difficult OF
solution. Mr.. Beecher heard with
great attention the statement OF the
proposition, admitted that indeed it
was serious question, and then de.
livered his opinion as follows: "When
l came to Plymouth church thought
about this problem, and ! will tell you
the course I decided upon. The SEX
ton was given strict orders that if he
saw any person asleep in my congre-
CATION he should go straight to the
pulpit and wake up the preacher"
Upon one occasion he was inter-
viewed by a young man seeking a job.
II would like place that doesn't re-
quire much work." said the youth who
yearned for the opportunity to labor.
"Well, my boy" replied the preacher,
II don't know of but one place of that
kind just now; it is always open to
men of your talents and inclinations,
and think we'll be able to land you
there by and by if you'll have little
patience; that place is the grave"

POLITICAL PRINCIPLES.

This journal stands for "right and

On to at all times endeavor to do
act justice to all and injustice to
one. There are good, honest, upright
I'd conscientious gentlemen to be
und among the candidates for coun-
and state offices on both the party
ckets, therefore our endeavors will

,esitate to criticise their actions if at
ny time they vary from their pledges
n fail to properly discharge the duties
If the Office with which the people
rave honored them. Our own per-
opal politics is we'll known by the
people of this section, and we do not
consider it necessary in this connec-
lion to advertise the same, so that we
may the more fully carry out the in
;ent and purpose OF the policy at first
outlined by us. With us it is Adams
county first, last and all the time.
Her interest is ours and with that in
view we expect to act accordingly in
the future as in the past. We took
this stand when we assumed control
OF this paper nearly two years ago,
when all seemed dark, dismal,
dreary, discouraging and foreboding,
with the determination to stand for
the people and for justice, and by adj
herring closely to these principles, we
have step by step kept on the forward
move, and we are satisfied to let we'll
enough alone, ever keeping the old
adage in mfnd-Never go back on the
bridge that carried you safely over.
We are not in the habit OF walking
along with our eyes closed to facts,
and much less do we propose to have
them sealed over with one or two $50
gold pieces. No thanks, we have no
desire to flourish but a moment and
then wither away and die. The pub
LEGATION OF party tickets is, strictly
speaking, advertising matter and we
carry such tickets as we'll as announce
ment cards OF candidates if the Cen
trail Committee Chairman of either
party or any nominee sees fit to place
the same. We believe in fairness to
all, in giving everybody show, and
to that end the paper will exert its
utmost influence to help put in Office
only good men and those who are ca.
pable and trustworthy.

Yellow journalism is no distinctive
American product. They were English
correspondents who cabled, early in
July, the shocking stories of the
slaughter of all the foreigners in
Pekin. Staid old English dailies ex-
plotted the stuff, and made the most
OF every rumor borne from that har-
vest-feld of lies, Shanghai. To be sure
the temptation to guess at events was
very great. American newspaper men
who adventure into unpleasant places
under the flag OF enterprise" some
times find it overpowering. The critic
who decries the American press as
unscrupulously sensational above that
of any other country, proves himself
both unjust and badly informed.

All these townships have not been
completely surveyed and the unsur-
veyed lands can not, OF course, be en-
tered. Much Of the best land has also
been taken by the Indians. Each of
the Indians was allowed his choice Of
80 acres before the proclamation was
signed providing for the opening Of
the reserve. There have been 700
allotments made to the Indians on
the north half of the reservation.
These take about 5000 acres Of the
best lands OF the reservation. No en-
tries will be allowed that conflict in
any way with the Indian allotments.
The Indian allotments have been
made chiefly along the Columbia, Ok
anogan, San Poll and Kettle rivers,
and along the creeks. In township
80, range 81, for instance, there are
about 80 allotments taken.
Maps may be procured in Spokane
at the different book stores, showing
the surveyed lands OF the North Hall,
the rivers, creeks, road towns, and al
SO showing in detail what lands have
been takep by the Indians and what
are opened to settlement.
