TIPPLERS MUST PAY
HIGHER PREMIUM

work out before the policies in con-
are actually offered to the
public. One of these is the danger
that a man who is a total abstainer
when he takes out the policy may be-
come a moderate, or perhaps immod-
crate drinker in the future, which
would upset the figures of the company
if this should happen to many of the
holders of such policies. 1t is believed,
however, that this problem can be
solved in several ways. One of these
is that the application for the policy
should contain warranty that the
applicant would never thereafter be-
come a drinker of alcoholic liquor, the
effect would be that if he violated the
warranty the policy would be void.
The companies also have discussed a
plan of including a provision that if
the man should become q drinker the
amount payable under the policy
should be such a sum as the amount
of premiums paid would have pur-
chased if the man had nmot been a
total abstainer.

A SOLVENT COMMUNITY.

Let all who will be deceived thereby
follow the trail of the politician who
howls about gamblers and saloons.
The fact remains that this eommuni-
ty has less of those evils, and less gen
eral immortality than any city on the
Pacific coast.
In another important fact this city
is head and shoulders above any other
city on the coast. 1t is on a cash basis,
and has low taxes
This city, this school district and
this county are ON a cash basis, and
have been reducing taxes and reducing
old outstanding debts.
While the city Of Portland is heavily
in debt, has more than forty mills taxes,
and is running deficits, here the oppo.
site prevails.
Let it be understood, the solvent cit
izen and the solvent community, that
pays as it goes, is respectable and GER
tain to prosper.
The city that has all its warrants
stamped "not paid for want of funds, -
that has the same state of affairs in its
school and county government, is pay
ing from ten to twenty-five per cent
premium for all its services and expen'
ditures. Salem is a solvent community

New York, Nov. 26.-Total absti-
nence in the matter Of spirituOus liq-
ors are, in the near future, to be given
special low rates by the leading life
insurance companies. AS is well
known, the insurance companies never
issue policies to immoderate drinkers
whore the circumstances are known,
but for many years numerous authori'
ties have claimed that the average
span of life was longer among persons
who were not total abstainers, and
the underwriters have never taken a
decided stand in the matter.
Now, however, it is stated that a
number of actuaries and medical di-
rectors have been working on statis-
tics running over a period of several
years, and from the records of large
number of life insurance companies,
several authorities have come to the
conclusion that the total abstainers as
class live longer by from 20 to 81
per cent than the moderate drinkers
as n class.
There are number of details to

THE PORTLAND POLITICAL
SEWER.

Political factions at Portland are
stirred up ever alleged discoveries of
rotten sewer construction.
The Simon faction are trying to make
capital against the Mitchell faction out
Of a defective piece Of sewer work.
The matter is being exaggerated on
both sides, and to hear some of the outs
talk, there is wholesome era of cor
ruption.
1t must be plain to all citizens that
to resort to reform cries only to do up
some other element in politics is not
reform.
In party politics reform comes about
only when honest men are put in CON
troll of political organizations.
They must be firm enough and hon
est enough to stand off both the boodler
in politics and the boodler in citizen
ship
For let it be said there is quite as
much desire on the part of the citizen
to corrupt politicians as there is on
the part of the politician to corrupt the
government.

THE CASTLE IN SPAIN.

BY Edwin i. sabin in Youths Com
panion.
in the midst Of the cleaning,
While soft dripped the rain,
His thoughts fell to building
That castle in Spain;
And bright shone the vision
With mystic glow
When sounded a whisper:
"Wakel Enter and know"
Ah, the court and the turrets
He looked on with joy
WAS only the farmhouse
He loved when a boy;
And the princess who dyelt there.
For aye as his bride
Whs she who a decade
Had leaned at his sidel
And the wine that he ordered
His cup-server bring
NhS uIhIJ lrom the l"lthiui
Old pasturelot spring;
And wealth of the Indus
That decked his abode
Was two darling faces
A trundle-bed showedl
While the music that quivered
And thrilled through the keep
Was mother-voice singing
These children to sleep.
Thus there in the cleaning,
As soft dripped the rain,
He found he had entered
His castle in Spain.

YOUNG MEMS RESORTS.

As there is Y M. G. A. convention
An session, and as the church pastors of
this city seem honestly interested in
the reformation Of young men, we wish
20 call attention to condition, not a
theory.
A few weeks ago an alarm of fire
rang out at 8 O'Clock Sunday evening.
The churches were all holding service.
Every saloon was closed.
The fire alarm brought everybody to
the streets, and hundreds of men,
mostly young men, poured out of the
cigar stores, news stands, aud confec-
tionary establishments.
In most of these places, especially
ahe first named, many kinds of games
arc allowed--iu some of them gambling
Is carried ON openly-at least, that is
common report
These hundreds of young men were
at these resorts because they love to
cOngrogate, and love to play games
For reasons best known to them
selves, they were not at home, nor at
church. Tho home may be unpleasant
and the church unattraetiye.
Let It be known that playing games,
even gambling, social intercourse, are
elementary traits of the human race,
aavat,o ar riviliyed
This writer does not believe in con
demnng these young men FOR eongre
eating in these resorts and amusing
themselves with cards and tobacco.
We would prefer TO see any young
man reading good book, and cutting
out tobacco in every form, but We know
they might be doing worse.
We would say to any young man
CHIT out tobacco and liquor. You ar'
only Furnishing yourself when you pun
ash either of these articles.
We would say to the minister's Ho'
might furnish better resort, but un
less you furnished men with the taste
30 want them they would not be appre
ciated.
Has the church any business furnish
ing resortst We say il has not, aud 1t
work is the spiritual reformation o
amen. when they grasp the truth an
ssality Of being in the spiritual sens
they are saved
IL the ministry would do somethin
practical, lot members Of that profei
sion descend from their high horse an
become men among men, and help q
aablish an athletic club.

rHE END or ARsoLUTIsM.

Russia has attracted the attention
of the world during the week, not on
account of the Japanese war, but
through the meeting of the Zemstovos
and their demand for a national par
lament.
The demand made for a constitu-
tional government practically means
the beginning of the end of Russian
absolutism. 1t is the demand of the
common people for voice in the af-
fairs of the nation, right that has
been denied them in the face of adj
vanced civilization.
The Russian despots cannot refuse
TO hear the cry of the bone and sinew
of the empire in time of peace and
war. On these people depends the flu
ture of the czar's power, even to the
preservation of his territory.
Dark and stormy days are ahead OF
the great diplomats of the Russias
and they will need the help of the
masses to solve the many problems
presented them. If they turn deaf
ear to the appeals of the petitioner
they cannot expect assistance from
them in times of trouble. The Rus
sian leaders know these facts, and the!
Twin grant concessions. How far the!
win reach depends upon the shrewd
ness and foresight Of the ezar's eoun

A TALK ON COUNTY
EXAMINATIONS AND
SCHOOLS

From time immcmorial, progress
has been the hinge upon which
swings the door of civilization anG
enlightenment.
Especially is this true in the edl-
cational field.
Master of the human destiny are
we but we must take advantage OF
golden opportunities as they come.
What is the price of success? The
ready response comes: Eternal work
Now, fellow teachers of Greene Co
let us consider what responsible
place we fiji and how eagerly we
should strive to fill it we'll One OF
the first essentials of true teacher
is preparation. Never were people so
interested in education, and nevel.
was the demand for good, competent
teachers greater The field is open.
but competent workers seem to be
few.
A man in a certain community
said the other day, why! Superinten-
dent the teachers you have been sen
ding us are not any further advanced
than some of the pupils, therefore
we just as we'll not have any school
for the good it is doing. On the 9th
er hand the teachers complain and
oppose the Superintendent and Co
Board of Examiners because they do
not pass, we may rest assured the
Supt. and Board are only too glad to
grant license if the applicant shows
the ability, for the crying needs are:
good teachers. Let us reason the que
stion out and solve the problem, thon
see if the trouble is not for lack Of
preparation for this grand and noble
work
Let us then be UP and doing with
a heart for any fate, Still achieving
still pursueing, learn to labor and to
wait.
Nov word in regard to schools.
If all teachers in the county will take
hold of the work in dead earnest, we
will soon have a good county Associ-
alton and soon Greene will rank am
org the banner counties OF the state
The best people of all classes are
going to reside where they can get
the best opportunities for their chill
dren. The only hope, therefore, of
keeping such people on their farms
is to be found in the improvement of
the rural public school.
These rural schools must be made
adequate to the educational nee Is of
the people and equal in merit to the
best public schools of our towns and
cities.
Suppose it were possible, and it is
possible, to train every human being
in the community. men, women and
children to do their work in the best
possible way, what would be the re-
suit? The community would stand on
its own footing, on its own dev.lop-
ment, learning and happiness take
the place of ignorance, jealousy and
disturbances.
We would be masters, I would be
glad to hear from other teachers
through the columns of the Herald
A Teacher.
