A MAN should keep his mind up to the standard;
he should keep it disciplined and ready for action
To do this it must be trained drilled every day in
mental tactics, that it will be strong, vigorous and
alert, ready to act in an emergency with the maxi
mum efficiency of which it is capable. What con-
diton for fight would our navy be in if we for
five years. dropped all gun practice and ship disci-
pne, and allowed all the naval officers and sailors
to do as they pleased and have good time? Young
men would say that would be ridiculous. But is 1t
any ridiculous than to expect the mind to cope
with commercial crisis political emergency, or
to solve great social problem with unframed
powers?
Your mind is your personal navy. Your facul-
ties your ships and men, and if you not ready
for lfes great battle ready for emergency how can
you expect to conquer when the crisis comes?
Many army has been conquered because the
men caught mapping and the officers unprepared.
It is the alert general who has his forces perfect
trim, disciplined with fine persistent drill, that
conquers in the conflict lie you do not keep your
mental forces up to the standard if you do not train
them to seize with power and grasp with vigor you
will be victor in lifes battle-Success Maya

The uncertainties of life was never better ex-
emplifed than in the "reminiscences of Judge Will
liam Christy of Des Moines, Iowa. Fifty years ago
the eminent judge teaching twenty five pupils
in a Sunday school Today only two of these pupils
have escaped from getting into the penitentiary
The others have the stripes Considering their
early surroundings is fair to presume that each Of
these lusty youngsters had bright future before
them. But alas! their destiny appears to have been
written otherwise. We doubt whether a similar
record can be found in this any other country.
One of the saddest chapters connected with this
sad story is the fact that Judge Chrsty had to
sentence upon some of his former Sunday school
pupils This must have been trying ordeal for
the aged jurist, which caused him much suffer
ing. This shows that it is not always the lack Of
early Christian teaching that causes some men to
get into the pententary, but rather their surround
ings later on in life that cause the mischief

THERE appears to be desire lurking within the
human breast to grossly exaggerate events. 1t is
problematical whether this desire is the offspring Of
envy, or whether it is due to other It does
not seem possible that anyone could derive any
pleasure by causing discontinue pain to another.
Where Interior motives evolved such revenge
financial strategy it is easy to grasp the meaning
of the exaggerated stories sent abroad. But where
this element is lacking, there appears to be little
for the purveyor, unless it be to crafty per-
verted taste for such imaginations.
This spirit of exaggeration be to good
advantage when person gets into serious trouble.
It then runs the gamut without pause. It shrinks
from nothing It imagines that because is down
and behind the bars it is granted plenipotentiary
powers to give voice to anything. Instead Of show
ing generous spirit of liberation by merely con-
fnng itself to facts the press often publishes these
wild exaggerations.
These hyperbolical stories often lead to serious
consequences Sometimes they result in suicide,
but generally they create public sentiment that
only catacl ysm eradicate. When adhering to
extraneous subjects, exaggeraton harm one;
but when it's objective point deals with another's
reputation it attacks his most priceless possession.

that class of officials who continually exceed their
authority. Russia has abolished the knout but it
appears that in this country the village marshal can,
and does use his club as readily as the knout was
used It is not the purpose Of the law to desig
nate every man out of employment as criminal;
nor does the law confer the right upon anyone to
assault another with club. The marshal who
sumes this right, per virtue of his brief authority
should be instantly dismissed from the public service
If they permitted to exercise this unauthorized
privilege, it will not be long before the out of
work will find travelling in this country perilous

In LINCOLN COUNTY, this state, Judge Weber
handed down decision that will dampen the ardor
of at least city marshal who has been using his
club more freely than necessary. It appears that
the said marshal had arrested transient; and
while taking him beyond the city limits he repeatedly
applied his club After getting beyond the town,
the transient turned and gave the marshal dose Of
his own medicine. The man was arrested and
brought before the district court In explaining the
case to the jury, Judge Weber said: "The mar
shall had right to drive the out of town simply
because he happened to be in the town. That the
only proper way to do to lock him up providing
there was charge on which to do So"
Judge Webber's decision is severe rebuke to

which shows that this publication has only recently
made it's bow to the public Its motto is very good
one but rather long The paper is very neatly got
ten up, we'll printed, and filed with much interesting
reading matter.
The starting of this publication in the Oregon

It will give them an excellent opportunity for in

II True Sportsman.
The news that Sir Thomas Upton intends to
challenge for Americas cup during 1907, will be
hailed with glad acclaim by his many friends among
yacht devotees in this country. Sir Thomas is a
sportsman of the highest type and he has few equals
here abroad. AS loser, his graciousness is I'M
surpassed During his several defeats he has shown
none Of that poignant garrulity that was so con-
spicuous trait Of former losers When counted
out Sir Thomas has nothing but the warmest praise
for the victor He has never been known to bubble
or to raise irrelevant questions
Sir Thomas did not enter the list for the 1906
races. He is too courteous gentleman to endeavor
to prevent others from getting an opportunity to
win the cup and the homage conferred upon the
champion. The man who wins this coveted prize
will instantly become international celebrity He
will have performed strategical feat that others
have found beyond their ability to solve.

What German Navy is For.

In an interview printed in the Nine
teenth Century and After. Count vor
Buelow undertakes to show that the
new German naval policy is not aimed
at Great Britain. A war between Ger
many and Great Britain would be good
fortune for their rivals, says the Chan
cellor. While such 4 var would com
pletely destroy German trade, as far as
one can judge. and would seriousl!
damage British trade. our rivals would
utilize the opportunity for securing the
markets of the world without firing q
shot"
The Chancellor says Gernany's navy
is purely for defensive purposes, and
remarks that foreign countries must
reconcile themselves 10 the fact thai
fhe German merchant beyond the seas
is no longer the poveIty-stricken crea'
ture who must content himself with
picking up the crumbs from under the
table. He now takes his seat next his
fellows. and we are fully entitled to
stand up and defend the rights which
are ours in company with the citizens
of other nations."--New York World.

Dipnity\ and Influence.

The influence Of the editorial depends
upon the character Of the journal in
which it appears, maintains Fourth
Estate. "
If the newspaper VIGOROUSLY lacks
sobriety Of Judgment, decency and Sc
robustness Of purpose, It's editorials are
necessarily inconsequential, trivial,
silly and Of no interest to intelligent
persons.
The opinions of a mountebank. who
stands upon his head and twiddles his
toes by way of eXordium and to attract
attention, are not listened to with re.
spect, and it is not to be wondered at
that in time he should come to the O n
clusion that the people do not want
opinions. and that toe twiddling is the
only thing really worth while.
In journalism, as in the law, politics,
theology. science and philosophy, the
value and weight Of opinion, are in
exact proportion to the character and
reputation of him who. ~pronounces 1t.
If the readers of a newspaper have
confidence in its sincerity, serious
ness. ability and fidelity to what it be-
lieves to be the public interest: they
10 much more than glance at its ed
i~torials, and that newspaper exerts q
very marked influence uponthe thought
Of the community in which it is. pub
lished, and is recognized abroad as a
reliable exponent of intelligent public
opinion.
