Another Of the good old sturdy
pioneers of the west, Billy Lent, has
passed to the great beyond. He was
one of the dauntless sailors of the
trackless seas OF sand, one of the
flowers of the long lone trail of the
desert. He was a typical miner,
dallying with the golden chance,
surer and surer that some day he
would ''strike it" rich. His faith
was rewarded in Bodie one day, when
the tickle goddess of fortune paid
him a welcome visit. His after days
in his declining years, were days OF
ease, but to the last he had a long.
ing for the scent OF the s~agebrush
and the long trail. Thus, one by one,
the pathtinders, who in pioneer days
braved the dangers of a trackless
wild, pass to that bourn from
whence no traveller returns.

Just look back over the Cay and
see where your energy has gone, If
you are a business man perhaps you
have wasted it in fits of fretting,
tuning, grumbling or fault finding
that have accomplished nothing, but
made you irritable, rasped your
nerves and left you exhausted. Per.
haps you do not realize that in going
through your place of business like a
mad bull through a Gina shop you
have pulled out every spigot and
turned on every faucet of your
mental and physical reservoir and
left them open until the energy you
stored up during the night has run
off. Look back and you will see that
your s%colding, criticizing, fault find
ing, has not helped you in any way
and has not accomplished any good.

it's fanatical following. Francis
Murphy, Que of the most eloquent of
temperance lecturers, ridicules the
idea of closing the saloons. He
bluntly declares that it is up to the
individual to 'close that hole in his
face" to Intoxicating drinks. LII short,
when you sum it all up, it is merely
a question of methods-and there is
wide room for honest difference of
opinion.
The prohibition question is now at
issue in Ravall county. Next Satur-
day the registered voters must deter
mine by their ballots whether we
shall return to the license system or
retain the present local option law.
Now, which proposition is best cal
culated to promote temperance in
this county-the license system now
in vogue in all other counties of the
state or the local option system?
That's the question.
Under the license system the board
of county commissioners, if so de-
sired Icy it's residents, may refuse to
grant a license to any person i'll any
given community outside Of the in
corporated towns. For example, if
the people Of Corvallis don't want a
saloon, all they need do is to pre-
sent a remonstrance to the board. In
the Incorporated towns the town
councils may cause the saloons to
close Oh Sunday and at reasonable
hour at night and adopt such other
restrictions a5 the condition demands.
With the controversy over prohlbi-
ton eliminated and politics cut out,
ali clements will unanimously sup
port measures looking to the proper
regulation OF the saloons and the en-
fOrcement of the laws. incidentally,
goodiy revenue will be derived

TEMPERANCE VS.. PROHIBITION

Temperance, as defined by the die
tionarles means, "habitual modera-
ton in regard to the indul gence of
the natural appetites and passions;
restrained or moderate indulgence;
as, temperance in eajirg and drink
ing; temperance in the indulgence of
joy or mirth.'
Every right-minded man believes
in temperance and abhors Iutemper-
ance. This proposition admits of no
argument to the contrary.

The late John Hay was fond of telling
a story of King who once upon time
fell into state of deep melancholy. Court
physicians could do nothing for him and
were in despair, when a certain very wise
man betbought himself of the well known
cure OF sleeping in the shirt of a perfectly
happy man over night. So courtiers were
dispatched everywhere in search of the
shirt of perfectly happy man.
One by one they returned from their
fruitless search throughout the vast king
dom. At last only one courtier remained
out, and he to began to despair OF finding
the shirt of a perfectly happy man. 1t was
just about twilight and he was riding over
a village green, when he was attracted by
the careless laughter of disreputable beg
gar who was stretched full length upon
the sward.
'tAre you perfectly happy MANI" de-
manded the courtier, refining in his horse
"You bet!" said the beggar.
"a thousand crowns for the loan of your
shirtI"

gar.
