ginning OF the last century were nor
two statesmen. but two inventors who
made II possible for the industries of
our country to be developed and our
lands to be covered with the busy hives
OF human life.
Thus I want you In this great nat,on-
al holiday to realize that the greatest
men or our nation are not the soldiers
though who dare speak one word
against the men OF the sword and OF
the gun. who won us our national lib
critics and protected US when we were
In danger? They are not the states
men. although the pens of Livingston
and or Adams and OF Jay have drawn
Tor as the map OF this western repub-
Tic. But they are the heroes of civil
life. They are the farmers and the
manufacturers. They are the builders
or our great railway systems. and the
educators in our schools OF technology,
and the developers of the brain and the
moral stamina. They are the men.
like Fulton and Whitney. who teach US
how to live and how to make the most
or our life. And yet strange to say,
while Robert Fulton and Eli Whitney
In America were revolutionizing the

OLD FASHIONED IDEAS.

In this age. when men live up to
the last exaction of every waking mo-
ment and halt at the task of money
getting, only because outraged nature
compels him to rest, one has but lit
pare the prevalent tones and condi-
tions of the two eras Even a cur
sorry, retrospective glance. by a man
with knowledgeable estimates Of both
periods, shocks the thinker with the
simple revelation that human honesty,
instinctiye, spontaneous, cultivated, the
condition Of real honesty, is practic-
ally extinct. Civilization is sitting the
old virtues; and the homely old stand
ard of personal, characteristic, pride
full honesty, in the ordinary commerce
of life, has been the first and most
conspicuous, in the sacrifices of time.
1t will not do to say there is no fon-
esty left; but 1t is of a different sort
from the old quality; it is time-serv-
ing, wavering, barren of the better i'm
pulse, and exercised as an expeiient,
in fear, dread of reprisal; donned and
doffed, as convenient, serviceable
thing. Today, the word of an honest
man is bolstered and made unbreak-
able by the immuntable attributes Of
bond, endorsement, avouchal, all
couched in rigorous, written terms that
impose crushing forfeitures for the
circumstance in the engagement;
nothing is left, in the business world,
to the innate virtue of anyone and
only a net of interminable and unes-
capeable barriers preserve the ameni
ties of business, trade and commerce.
The pound Of flesh" goes in the ac-
counting and the blood" with it;
graft, legalized robbery, secret ai-
vantage, hypothetical premise, artful
fabrication; adroit, bold and cold ly-
ing; these are the major elements Of
human dealing, today, and they are
responsible for the safe guards that
have been set up to disparage, dis
courage and disrupt the old time codes
of human trust AMI faith as between
man and man. 1t is more than pitiful,
it is threatening.

POWER OF RUMoR.

Admitting, for arguments sake, that
there is not word Of truth In the
reported sale Of the Astoria & Co.
lumbia River Railway to Mr.. Hill, or
to anyone else, the admission does but
lend accent to the extraordinary pow
er of idle rumor For, If the prop
erty be not sold, then the hazard of
such an intimation has wrought some
thing like half a million Of dollars
of investment in the past sixty days
on this peninsula, in the bonding and
negotiating Of realty; a fact that
speaks volumes for what might trans
pire, If the final word Of affirmative
authority were but spoken openly. 1t
all goes to show that the faculties and
resources of a community are not
nearly SO dead as appearances some
times indicate; and yet, again, 1t tends
to prove these same sources Of per-
ception and power for development are
not employed for the quickening Of
the community, at all, but only for

SIGNIFICANT FIGURES.

1t will pay any American. interested
in his birth right. to ponder a moment
on the startling figures just put out
by the federal immigration bureau,
showing that at New York city, alone
twenty eight steamship lines entering
there from Europe. landed s4O.-
SSl immigrants at that port during
the year 1906, and in the course Of
1897 trips of their several fleets.
These figures have tremendous
bearing on American labor and Amer
lean citizenship II they are to be ap-
proxmated steadily through the years;
the ratio is likely to verge rapidly to-
ward submergence of the native,
counting the natural development OF
the alien by birth, as well. Allowing
the increase TO swell itself to 1.5O0.-
goo per annum for the next ten or
fifteen years, 1t may we'll startle one
with the uncomfortable conviction
that the American predicate will be
Jared loose from its organic hold. and
the unfit stranger planting his alien
foot in one, or both, the native shoes.
The time has come for restriction and
such qualification of the immigrants
as will mimify the threatening usur-
patton.

Neglected Colds Threaten Life.
(From the Chicago Tribune.)

(FrOm the Chicago Tribune)
Don't trife with cold is good
advice for prudent men and women. 1t
may be vital in the case Of a child.
Proper food, good ventilation, and dry,
warm clothing are the proper safe
guards against colds. If they are
maintained through the changeable
weather Of autumn, winter and spring,
the chances of a surprise from ordin-
ary colds will be slight. But the
ordinary light cold will become severe
if neglected, and a vel established
ripe cold is to the germs Of diphtheria
what money Is to the bee. The greatest
menace to child life at this season Of
the year is the neglected cold" Wheth-
er 1t Is a child or adult, the cold
slight or severe, the very best treat
ment that can be adopted is to give
Chamberlains Cough Remedy. 1t is
safe and sure. The great popularity
and immense sale Of this preparation
has been attained by it's remarkable
cures Of this ailment A cold never re-
suits in pneumonia when 1t is given.

CARGO SUBSIDIES FAVORED

the compromise ship subsidy bill which
provides subsidies for maiI-carrying yes

Speaker Cannon to sanction provision
for cargo subsidies. AS soon as the
Speaker returns from Danville. the Presi-
dent will confer with him and with other
members who are potent in shaping Iegis-
lation.
It is not contemplated that the cargo
feature viii be extended to ships on the
Atlantic coast. but the President favors
cargo subsidies on lines to the Philippines
and TO South America If he can arrange
some plan with Speaker Cannon by which
this can be approved. il is expected that
he will recommend carg, subsidies of this
character in his forthcoming special mes
sage on the subject
Such a recommendation, It is pointed
out. would be pleasing alike to Secretary
Taft. who sometimes remarks that he is
a resident Of the Philippines more than
Of any State, and to many owners of
sailing vessels

Eddie Foy Delights Audience at the

presence Of an audience distinguished in

marked the opening Of the New Years

with plenty of broad comedy and novel
spectacular features, the whole sur
rounded by an development of brilliant
scenery and muIu-colored costuming. The
cast has been changed somewhat from
last season. in some instances for the
better and in some for worse.
The major part Of the fun-making falls
to Eddie FOy, as the vagabond Snowman,
Jim Cheese. He seized upon the occasion
TO again demonstrate his capabilities as "a
provoker of hilarious fun, easily maintain
ing his position as a leader in the class. Al
though his methods. in a great degree. are
those OF the clown, there is no denying
the irresistible power Of his humOr. or the
spontaneous character Of the laughter he
evokes. Last night he gave his famous

Roosevelt and John d. Rockefeller, rem

TO the ingenue. Her voice. though very
light, is pleasing, her manner has that
chicness which is essential, and above
all, she is pretty. Her whole interpreta-
ton was pleasing. and a little more IA
miliaTity with the part will no doubt
make il entirely successful
The play is replete with bright and
