RANDOM THOUGHTS.
CAPITAL AND LABOR.

II.
Theory and Practice rarely go
hand in hand: though the one is
born of the other. Our theorist
finds out one of Natures care
fully guarded secrets and holds
it up to the wondering gaze of
humanity; and when the first
gasp of astonishment is over, the
astonished eye turns again to the
familiar things, and the invari-
able question arises. What is
the good of it ?'
Our practical man then steps
in and adapts the new discovery
to the needs of humanity. Some
times he forgets to acknowledge
his Indebtedness; sometimes the
world at large forgets it for him.
Even the blind gropings of
false theorists have produced
useful arts. The astrologers.
paved the way for the art of
navigation, the Alchemists for
the science of chemistry.
Seldom can the pure scientist
himself subscribe directly to
practical needs. The most beau
tiful theory ever evolved from
the subtle brain of the deepest
thinker, set forth with the sound
est logic and most attractive
verbiage, fails most previously
until purged, amplified, qualified
by contact with reality.
Our Declaration of Independ-
ence, as we have seen, embodies
many of the most attractive the
cries for which mankind has ever
been willing to suffer, to labor
and to die, and we have been over
a hundred years trying to find
their practical Interpretation.
Some of our worst faults today
are due to our lingering desire
to read things literally. The
newly arrived emigrant, freed
from an old-world tyranny, hears
that all men were born free and
equal and in his ignorance ex.
poets the rewards of talent and
! diligence to be thrown into the
lap of stupidity and laziness, and
is apt to seek advancement by the
broad and easy paths of pull
and politics.
The man who positively refus-
es to believe there can be two
sides to a question, is the same
as the man who would say the
moon is the same all round be-
cause she turns ever the same
face earthward.
1t is doubtless true. as theories
90, that all wealth is derived
from the land, and if that were
everything, the farmer should be
paramount in the community. II
is also true that, with present
day labor saving appliances and

APPROVES ADVOCATES SUGGESTION.
The Baton Rouge Advocate is Of

The Baton Rouge Advocate is Of
the opinion that the sheriff's Office
in this State Is too big thing for
one man. The sheriff has too much
responsibility and too much power
for one man. The politics of the
State is largely dominated by the
sheriffs. The Advocate is of the
opinion that the duties now per-
formed by the sheriffs should be
performed by two officers instead
of one. The tax collector should
be an officer separate and apart
from the sheriff. The Guardian
Journal urged this view during the
session Of the constitutional con-
vention, but the shsriffs were too
powerful in that convention and
the Office gemained as it was. We
still believe that two officers instead
OF one should discharge the duties
now performed by the sheriffs. The

the people of every county in the
state is such that from our earliest

in the legislation Of a state. Be-
cause few opportunities are given

WHEN A WOMEN IS AN OLD MAID.

That imaginary line which is
supposed to mark the division be-
tween girlhQod and the "old maid"
is being set farther back until there
have arisen grave doubts il it will
not disappear entirely. Once 25
years was the limit to girlhood'
After that she was either q mar
tron or an old maid. Now it is 80.
Aud 1t means little OF. nothing.
Once i was supposed to mean
that, being passed, it became bar
to matrimony. No novelist chose
a heroine over 25. or course, he
intended to marry his heroine to
his hero, and married after Is on
the woman's part was something
to be avoided as something which
did not find counterpart in real

among the fiction heroines Of the
present day will be found num-
ber who have gone to the 30-year
limit. It was recognized long ago
that a woman did not lose her at
fractions because she had gone
over this imaginary line, but the
setting back OF the line waited
long after recognition Balzac has
laid down the theory that woman
at 30 is at her most fascinating age.

Barrett District.

What's the matter with the climate
of Hood River? Seems as if a revolu-
ton or cyclone had struck it. When
We first heard OF this valley the old set
tier informed us that there were no
strong winds in this section, but the
day we arrived was something very.
very unusual, for it was all we could do
to hold ourselves in the wagon that
brought us out. We felt like taking the
back track, but alter we got out under
the sheltering oaks and pines of Barrett
the wind appeared to subside and we
concluded that perhaps it was an unu-
sual day, and on further inquiry we
were informed that while the wind did
blow some in the spring, that after June
!, there would be no more zephyrs un-
til the spring of 1904. Now, Mr.Editor,
we have come 10 the conclusion that the
old settler is one of the most stupendous
frauds that was ever invented and firm
ly believe that most of those who were so
unfortunately located as to be in the
range OF the storm Of last week will fully
agree with me. We write this for the
purpose OF drawing the attention of new
settlers TO the Barrett section Situated
within a few miles Of other parts
of Wasco county, where numer-
Gus orchards were considerably dam
aged, and one man said his berries were
even blown out, Barrett district is so
providentially situated as to be compile E.
