Freedom From Caste
Gives Americans Better
Chance to Rise.

~ ESPITE the long way which the common people have come
in Europe during the past century, still they are NOT so
HAPPILY SITUATED AS WE ARE IN AMER

THEY HAVE MANY THINGS DESIRABLE WHICH WE HAVE
NOT. BUT WE HAVE THE ONE GREAT ThlNG-FREEDoM FROM

RISE EASILY FROM WHATEVER STATE THEY WERE BORN IN
SOLELY UPON THEIR MERITS.
The lack of a serving class, which keeps the English newspaper
columns always full of women advertising for hired girls, is the best
thing in America.
1T IS THE PRESENCE IN EUROPE OF THE SERVING CLASS
WHO CAN'T RISE FROM IT THAT cAEAPENs LABOR IN EUROPE
AND MAKES LIVING 80 CHEAP.

Nothing Remarkable.

The Caldwell News in it's last issue
goes out of its way to belle the
churches and all religion, in speaking
of J. G. Turner, the absconding jewel
er. 1t seems that a great many peo-
pie take a special delight in attempt
ing to place odium on a church when
a member goes wrong. This may be
because so few of them ever do any
thing criminal. The fact that men,
Der of the Methodist choir happened
to become mixed up in difficulty is no
reflection upon that organization or
any member. In the case of Mr.. Tur-
ner, however, the facts are distorted
to make a case Mr.. Turner was not
a pillar of the church." he was not
even member of that church or any
other. He did not pretend to be. He
was simply singing in the choir and
was being paid so much per month for
his services. But the spirit exhibited
Is one that does not commend itself
to a charitable mind. The members
of the Methodist church are not per-
feet, and we think they do not pretend
to be- That one of them did step aside
would interest no one except he be
of an envious or malignant mind.

To Solomon and Mary Ash.
By r. c. Dickson.

by II. Z. Dickson.
You were wed in the spring on a
bright May morn,
While yet your lives were young;
You stand tonight in the soft twilight
The days of your lives nearly done
For sixty years through storm and
sun,
You have journeyed hand in hand,
And the years of your lives have
swiftly run
Through loves fair summer land.
Side by side through the trials of life
Your hearts both firm and true,
You have borne life's burdens as
husband and wife:
AS parents been faithful and loving
too;
Now you wander back through the
mist of years
To the morn when you were wed,
And talk of the joys that crowned
your years,
And the blessings that long have
fed.
Once your eyes were sparkling and
bright,
Your limbs were supple and strong.
And you toiled for your loved ones
From morn till night and deemed no
day too long.
But now, alas! you are very old,
Your eyes no longer bright;
Your limbs have lost their supple
mould,
Your hair is silvered white.
Your forms are bent with the weight
Of years,
You totter as you go,
But your souls are filled with the fires
Of youth,
Your hearts with love aglow.

He is now II, and was one of the three
Parma prisoners.
The case of State VS.. Albert Randall,
who was charged with having commit
ted the crime of sodomy. A jury was

called and demurrer withdrawn and
in default of the defendant a verdict
was entered in favor of the plaintiff
In the case of ]. ]. Dietrich vs. G. B.
Murray was dismissed at plaintiffs

and the following jury impanelled:

Shook. The case had not been finish
ed up to Frinay noon. This was
case where number of farmers in
the vicinity of Emmett purchased a
stallion by giving their joint note for
about three times the real value of the
horse. The horse was afterwards
found to be almost useless, but in the
meantime the note had been transfer
red to some supposedly innocent par
ty. In this case a bank in Pendleton
was the first purchaser and then put
it up as collateral to Portland bank.
The legislature should have passed
some law whereby the horse dealers
should be made to fulfill their con-
tract where a horse is found deficient
in breeding qualities and not be per-
mitted to hold the farmer for the full
amount of the note.

more than two centuries, each genera

Marion, Ohio, Jan. 20, 1909.
Dr. Herman S. Rhu left Marion,
Ohio, four years ago and went dr.
rect to the great Southwest, eli
mate suitable for his case, and for
two years was the house physician
of the Texas Sanatorium at Llano,
Texas, when he went 10 San Angelo,
Texas, where at present he IS the
house phylcan OF Sunnycrest Bunga-
lows, a Sanatorium for Tubercular
patients. The Journal Of Outdoor
Life published at Saranac Lake, New
York, I'm the Adirondack, a journal
devoted to outdoor life, and in the
interests and fuItherance to help
persons seeking health by outdoor
life, and particularly disseminate re
liable information looking TO the pre-
yenHon and cure OF Tuberculosis,
speaks Of DR.. Herman s. Rhu's work
as resident physician as follows:
''August 3rd, 1908, the Sunnycreyt
BUNGALOWS were opened for the re-
ception of suitable cases Of Tuber-
culosis patients under the medical
direction of Dr. Boyd Cornick, with
DR.. Herman S. Rhu resident manag-
ing physician. II soon became ap-
parent that the need Of such AN in
stintion was a real one, and that ad-
ditlonal bungalows must be CON
structed for the care Of the growing
list of applicants. So a larger din
ing room and addis.onal cottages
for the patients became necessary,
and number Of additional ones com.
pleted Dec. Is, 1908 AT present all
accommodations are taken up with
applicants ON the waiting list"

Doctors Thick In New York.

The proportion OF physicians to the
general population is probably greater
in New York city than anywhere else
In the country, In the United States,
for example, taking the estimated pop
ulation of the census bureau for 1908
as a basis, there Is one licensed physl-
clan to every 700 persons; in New York
state there is one TO G72 and in New
York city one to only G5s. 1t has been
estimated that the physician in gem
eral practice must have a clientele of
$50 persons, or $50 families, to support
himself and his family in comfort, so
If this estimate is accurate the New
York doctor is short an average OF a
hundred patients, and maay, of course,
are further behind than that.-Medlcal
