The Coffee We Drink.

In Brazil. where coffee drink.
ing is INDUCED in to excess,
drunkenness is rare. Foreign to.
pers, who stay there any length
of time soon lose all desire fol
intoxicants, but they become
heavy coffee drinkers. In tropi-
cal countries coffee is drank with
out milk O. cream, but generally
with sugar. This is the correct
way if people wish to retain their
health. Coffee is seldom injuri-
Gus if drank in this manner.
And it is a fact worthy of note
in this country as we'll as IN
Brazil, that coffee drinkers sell
dom become drunkards. We
commend this fact to our tenn
perance agitators.
Speaking of the prevalence of
coffee drinking, the bulk of the
worlds coffee product is drank in
the United States. Over 900, :
ooo,o 900 lbs. is imported every
year. This comes mostly from
Brazil and Central America.
The best comes in small quantity,
comparatively, from Java. There
is not a coffee dealer or grocer in
the country but claims to sell
Mocha and Java blended. It is
doubtful if hundred pounds of
Mocha coffee comes into the
State of Oregon in a year. How
much of that do you expect you
are going to get? But little
over one million pounds of coffee
every year comes to this country
from Alden, the shipping port of
Arabian coffee, and it is conceded
by coffee dealers that a large part
of the product sent from that
port has been shipped there from
other places, to be "Aden-ized,"
or made to bear the necessary
custom house marks. 1t would
be within the bounds of truth to
say that less than r5o tons of
pure Mocha coffee is all that
America receives every year.
Ninety-nine and one-half pounds
out of every hundred sold in this
state is Central America and Bra
lillian coffee, and costs seven
cents per pound. Two-thirds of
that amount is sold over the
counter at IS cents per pound.
Who gets the profit? The only
difference in grade or quality
comes from the soil where raised,
and the conditions there existing.
Plant Java, Mocha, Kona, or
Tonila coffee in Costa Rica and
the product will be same in quail
ity aud flavor as the product now
raised in Costa Rica. Mocha
coffee cannot be raised out OF
Arabia, or Java out of Java.
But all the same we will 60 on
as before, drink our seven-cent
mixture of Salvador and Rio,
call it Mocha and Java, pay forty
cents for it and enjoy it. At any
rate the grocers are happy.

A prominent Corvallis business
man, who has been recently on
his travels, at first innocently
enough registered from his home
town. So many signs of inter-
est occurred in connection with
Holy Roller matters that after
awhile the citizen of the beauti-
full town with the Latin name
forebore to admit even that he
was from Oregon. A triAing
foolish matter takes the wings of
the thistle down and flies to all
quarters-Albany Herald.
While the administering of a
coat of tar aud feathers to the
Corvallis ''Holy Rollers seemed
a very harsh treatment, it would
be difficult to conceive a more ap-
prop1iate punishment for the per-
sistent indulgence of their idiotic
and disgusting antics in the name
of religion. There is a limit to
what a community can endure of
this sort of thing, and as the
Statesman said some weeks ago
while discussing the extravagant
fanaticism of the unbalanced
"apostles,''. the public should
take them in charge and perma-
nently suppress their exhibitions.
There are a thousand men and
women in the Asylum here today
who have never at any time
shown the same symptoms of IT.
recoverable idiocy as the spectac-
ular ssHoly Rollers. Their in
sane doings have been a travesty
on religion and a burlesque on
common sense.-Salem States

THERE is A DIFFERENCE.

II is not certain that the readiness
with which reputable citizens can be
hauled into United States court and
prosecuted on the charge of peonage
will not encourage triAing and ire
sponGibe parties in not paying for sup
plies and money advanced to them by
farmers. The NEWS wishes to en-
dorse the following on this line from
the Savannah News, which was writ
ten as a result of the recent arrest
of two prominent and respected citi-
zens near Dawson:
"'Peonage' is term that is being
overworked; and it really begins to
look as if'some persons were making
use of it to secure sympathy and ver-
diets. In this state the other day Two
farmers were arrested on a charge OF
'peonage' and required to give heavy
bonds for their appearance in the
United States court. From what we
can gather these farmers were merely
trying TO keep two negroes on their
farms until they had worked out
money that had been advanced to them
or had otherwise made arrangements
for the payment of their obligations.
Their sole purpose was to secure their
just dues, which it seems the negroes
would have run away from, and did
eventually run away from. There is
great deal of difference between peon-
age aud trying to make a debtor pay
just debt. Of course creditors have
no right to collect debts by methods
employed by the foregoing farmers,
but those who adopt such methods do
not intend to make poems of their debt
ors,"

RUNNING FROM Mr.. HEARST.

According to the New York Times,
Brooklyn Eagle and several other lead"
ing dailies the real reason why it was
determined to hold the next national
democratic convention il st. Louis
was because Hon. Wm.,R. Hearst's in
fluence in Chicago was dreaded by the
other candidates.
From all appearances this seems to
be true, and the singular spectacle OF
a national nominating convention lit
orally running awav from candidate
is presented. No finer tribute to the
wonderful popularity and aggressive
ness of Mr.. Hearst could have
been paid. Whatever his chances
are it is very evident that the rest of
the field is afraid of him. Mr.. Hearst,
it is said, will Immediately begin the
publication of u big daily in St. Louis.
He has "seen" tie convention and
gone it one better. Whether he wins
or not the New Y orker is putting up
2 gallant fight, and, incidentally, win
ming the admiration of friends end the
resnect of opponents.

NO NEED-TO STAY AWAY.

II ia reported that there are some
neople who are staying away from
Dawson on account of the recent ap'
nearance of smallpox here. While
+bere is no attempt to deny that there
have beep a few cases of the disease
in the city, they have been quickly
and effectually isolated No new cases
have appeared within the past several
DAYS. and it is now believed that 1t ls a
question of a very short time only
when there will be no trace OF 1t LETT
Those who wish TO come to Dawson
and who do not do so on account OF the
smallpox scare are running from
mere shadow, for there is but the
slightest element of danger present
THE NEWS, ever mindful of the
public safety, has been open and frank
in giving the people information as
to the situation since the appear
auce of the disease in Dawson, and the.
statement is now made on the authorl-
ty of physicians that there is no reason
why the people should not come and
90 as they please in the transaction of
their affairs.
There is 40 reason why anyone
should stay away from Dawson.

The BeWitChing Bryan.

From the Albany Herald.
The newspaper reporters haven't
been able to "wOrk" Mr.. Bryan to any
degree since his return from abroad
In New York and in Washington
wherever he has been since his return
from Europe-he has been beset by
the enterprising and irrepressible re-
porters, but not one has succeeded in
making him say things that he did not
want to say or was not ready to say
Mr.. Bryan, after visiting eleven eoun-
tries of the old world, comes back more
impressive and more interesting than
ever. He promises, according to one
OF his would-be interviewers, to give
the country the fruit of his wander
ings in book form; he has been con-
firned in his belief of the necessity OF
tariff reform; and he will not be can
didate for the presidency. He still
stands by the Chicago platform, but ii
either party has anything better to OF
fer for his consideration he is for taat
better thing. Always charming, the
travelled Bryan appears more bewitch-
ing than ever.

THE REAL BENEFACTOR.

Hon. Thomas E. Watson and Con-
gresham Livingston are having a
warm discussion through the conven-
lent medium of printers ink as to
which one is the father of rural free
mail delivery, and the Hon. Tom has
put it strictly up to your Uncle Lon by
offering a thousand dollars in cash to
anyone who can prove that he is not
the real originator, which may spur
the latter on to renewed activity.
An interesting fact which might be
incidentally noted anent the discussion
is that Dawson's own Jim-HOu. James
NJ. Griggs, congressman from the Sec
ond Georgia district-though not the
originator of this great blessing to
rural people, has, as the ranking dem
ocratic member of the committee on
postal affairs, done more to promote
rural free delivery in the south than
either of the esteemed gentlemen now
engaged in controversy or any other
southern man.

RURAL MAIL CARRIERS.

There is no class of men in the public
service who haye so hard task as the
rural mail carriers, nor any who are
doing more constant and faithful work
Everywhere they are hailed by the
busy and isolated farmers, tor they are
constantly bearing messages to them
in the shape ofletters, papers and OH
err reading matter which otherwise
would require trials and trips to OBJ
tain at~eome postoffice. This is a great
work, and lie altogether too made
nuately paid. The bill that has been
introduced by Congressman cGriggs 10
nay these men more for their hard aod
arduous work is deserving one, and
congress at the present session should
see to it THAI a sufficient SUM is appro-
priated for this purpose. There will
be no clamor at paying a decent sum
20 these deserving carriers who stop
at no storm, mud nor other obstacle in
carrying the messages of cheer tothOse
isolated and distant from postoffices.
The farmers deserve good mail service,
and the government should be willing
to pay for it decently.

A MINT With lack Frost.

Jack Frost ran away down the meadows,
Through the valleys and over the hills,
And he chanted a chilly Good wing,
old friends!'
AS he kissed the cold rivers and rils.
He colored the oaks and the naples
With a pencil most rare and divine
TIL hues iridescent he gave them to wear
And etchings too quaint to define.
He chuckled with ghouish expression,
Striding swift Ger the flower fringed
path;
He nipped all the blossoms with merciiess
hand
And a seeming Unsuitable wrath.
He cast Ger the green sumach bushes
A sense of unspeakable dread,
But when they awoke to the bright morn
ing sun
Their leaves were beautiful red
He sang to the Dogs and the sedges
In a frozen and cultural tone;
He spoke to the pool with his frigid white
lips
And a heart as cold as a stone.
He blared through his long hoary whis-
A discordant and rasping refrain;
He shook out his locks to the fierce north
ern blast
AS he whitened the mist and the rain.
He skipped DER the panes of the win
dOWs,
Leaving pictures unique in his trail;
He breathed on the lake till it's surface
grew hard,
Then ratified his showers of hail.
He leaped to the caves, and the trickles
Transformed into pendulous spires,
Then sent the soft snowfakes to blanket
the earth,
While HGolus thrummed on his Tyres.
He came to the cheeks of the lassie
And smacked them glorious pink;
He told her of sledges and tinl1le of bells.
With sly and significant wink.
He returned to his home in the morning,
| Where he stroked his great whiskers
with glee,
For the marvels he'd wrought in Luna's
pale light
Were wonderful truly to see.

Quit Your Meanness.

Put the hammer in the locker;
Hide the sounding board likewise;
ANY one can be a knocker;
Any one can criticise.
Cultivate a manner winning.
Though 1t hurts your face TO Smile
And seems awkward In beginning;
Be a booster for awhile.
Let the blacksmith do the pounding;
That's the way ne draws his pay.

Saint and sinner night and day.
Just for solid satisfaction
Drop a kind word in the slot,
And TN warrant you'll get action
On your effort on the spot.

THE PEANUT AS AN ORNAMENT

The plebian ground pea, which has
for wears been valued and favorite
product where YER pork hogs and Doliti-
clans best thrive, seems destined for a
higher and more delicate sphere. The
New York Mail and Express quotes a
florist ct that city as saying:
Stew persons are perhaps aware
that a thing of beauty is common
peanut plant growing singly in six
or eight inch pot, and grown indoors
during the colder weather.
"Kept ia warm room or ov the
kitchen stove peanut keruel planted
i'm a pot of loose mellow loan and only
moderately moistened via soon germi-
nate and grow up into a beautiful
plant, extending its branches over the
pot.
1.-THE leaves close together like the
leaves OF book on the approach of
night or when a shower begins TO fall
upon them. The plant bears tiny yell
low flowers There is nothing else
lust like it, and florists throughout the
country might well add it to their
list"

Kindness every time beats kicking;
Mfrth is better than a frown;
Do not waste your time in picking
Flaws with brothers who are down,
And it isn't so distressing
If you give a little boost
To the man the fates are pressing
When the chicks come home to roost.
Yes. the old world would be brighter
If you'd kindle friendships flame
And thus make the troubles lighter
Of the man against the game
Send your crouch on vacation.
Give your grumbling tones the shake
And with grim determination
Throw your hammer in the lake.

If Russia and Japan Should Fight.

From the Mason Telegraph.
The Japs are joyous and confident,
but it is painful TO think OF what will
in all probability be the result of a
great war between them and the Rus
slams. They are outclassed on the sea,
aud on the land the car can command
two armies to one of the Japanese and
has the advantage of practically irex-
haustible resources. 1t looks as if the
mikado and his councillors are ready
aud eager to make the mistake OF the
confederates. The latter apparently be-
lieye that war is still a matter of
physical courage and sustained deter
mination, while as a matter of fact
successful modera war in the long run
is merely matter OF money, men and
the command of unfailing sources of
supply.

The Candidate,

Ex-Governor Bob Taylor of Tennes-
see thus pays his respects to the can
didate: every honest man who runs
for office is candidate for trouble, for
political vicJOry turns to ashes on the
lips. To me there is nothing in this
world so pathetic as a candidate. He
IS like a mariner without a compass,
drifting on the tempest tossed waves
of uncertainty between the smiling
cliffs of hope and the frownlng crags
of fear. He is a walking petition and
a living prayer. He is a packhorse of
sentiment, he is a dromedary of poll
tics; and even if he reaches the goal
of his ambition he will soon feel the
beak of the vulture in his heart and
the fang of the serpent in his soul"
