IT'S DANGEROUS.

Speaking of the defeat of the re-
publican ticket four years ago, when
the third term ticket was defeated,
the Falls City News had this to say
in their issue of Nov. 10, 1905:
I'VE are satisfied that THE PEG
PIE HAVE WON A VICTORY which
will teach the politicians and ring
sters a lesson which will prove ever
lasting. The American policy holds
the THIRD TERM proposition as
DANGEROUS TO GOOD GOVERN
MENT."
Now, If the American policy held
the third term" proposition as dan
gerous four years ago, what eondi-
tons have brought about a reversal
in that said American policy.

Is Your Family Reading Worth While

is Your Family Reading Worth While
So much OF current reading is mere
ly entertaining at best that the ques-
ton naturally arises. Is it worth
while? Your Oils and daughters are
bound to read something. They hun
ger for stories which take them
into the other half of the world-the
world of adventure, of valor, of
fortune making. The problem is 10
give them such reading without put
ting into their hands the literature
that is either silly or demoralizing
The editors of the Youths Companion
believe that a periodical car be made
entertaining and yet worth while, and
the Companion is conducted on that
theory. And that is N reason why
more than half a million American
families read it. The paper is safe,
but not dull. Its tales of adventures
illustrate the advantages of fortitude
and self reliance. Its stories of char
acter lay stress on the truth that
right conduct is never a mistake.

1T vas just awful. There l sat

Wasn't it just too awful?' Sister
Primrose was talking, and she was
agitated; her face vas red and she
breathed heavily. 81 supposed it was
a nice show. Sister A. and Sister B..
said they were going-that it was a
society play and that it had a run
in New York and Chicago of months
and months. Society play! Good

The Point in Question
n KINDLY CRITIC

The unusual number of "drunks"
upon the streets last Saturday night
caused considerable comment, and no
little argument. 1t is customary, you
know, in this connection, to remark
that they're from Kansas But
this assertion does not always go I'M
challenged, as was the case last
Sunday when the question came up
for discussion at the hotel. You
Nebraska people" remarked the Kan
sas man present, 'endeavor to sad
ole all your DRINKS Upon Kansas.
Now, | know some of the people that
were staggering upon your streets
last night, and | know them to be
natives In my humble opinion,
had they been Kansans, they would
have been jagged early in the even
ing. You people father your own
drunks-don't endeayor to shove
them onto us. We've troubles of

"Ostler Joe" was the Till at one
of the moving picture shows several
nights recently. 1t was a series
of pictures depicting the story of that
poem made famous by Mrs. James
Brown Patter who shocked
Washington society by reciting the
same. 1t was a 'weepy'' series of
pictures, and an exhibition in no
wise beneficial TO the young. The
characters in the pictures, in part,
were low and vicious, and while a
suitable setting for a catchy poem,
is far from being the proper eXhi-
bition for school boys and girls TO
look upon. There are many sad and

1t may be that you nave plucked

they are becoming to your particular
style of beauty or not-the sweaters
the thing. If you are slightly elon-

oh, fair woman, are inclined to

1t seems from statistics recently
gathered that your Nebraskan is a
poor church ~goer-hardly up to the
standard of some other states, and
the reasons therefor is bothering
the minds of church workers who
seek a solution for this shortcom-
ing and a remedial adjustment of the
same. Here in Falls City | find the
men the only delinquents in this mat
ter-the ome of Falls City are
consistent church goers, and take on
prayer meetings, social meetings, teas,
sewing circles, etc, etc, with avid
ity. One good citizen was telling me
recently that his wife was SO wrapped
up in church work that she had been
absent from home six successive
evenings, and was almost Worn out.

may have as to her church goers, Falls

Reasons Why the Great

and we will prove this to you II you will let is.

and of Charcoal Iron (material that resists rust 300 per cent
greater than stee), is riveted together alright. No heat escapes
or cold air enters range, thus uses very little fuel to do perfect
work.
reservoir alone is worth the price of the range over any
other reservoir made. 1t bols IS gallons of water; is heated

Gold for the Exposition.

One of the grand opportunities to
get to the front in a substantial man
ner Is through the Alaska-Yukon-
Pacific Exposition Judge Booth,
our commissioner at Seattle, desires
to obtain the loan of gold nuggets,
gold dust, platinum and other pre-
cious minerals Of this section to dis
play at the exposition. This will be
one of the best advertisements that
Josephine county could have, as 1t
will attract the attention Of many
thousands of people. H. G. Perkins
has been appointed by the commits
sion to make this collection. Judge
Booth says that all specimens loaned
will be insured against fire and
theft, carefully taken care Of, and the
commission will be responsible for
their safe return. 1t certainly is OF
the highest importance to have the
resources of Josephine county
brought directly before the vast null
titudes who will throng the fair dur
ing the six months commencing with
June. There is no section of Oregon
which has produced more gold than
the placer and quartz mines of this
county. In the last two years nearly
500, 100000 in gold has been taken
out of the mines of Southern Oregon
and the most of this from Josephine
county. There are still many OPP
portunities to develop paying mines
here and the display of the gold
asked for by Judge Booth will be
a good way to enlist the necessary
capital
Mr.. Perkins will make trips to the
various mining sections of this and
Jackson county for the purpose Of
securing these specimens, which are
to be shipped to either of the banks
here to be transferred to Seattle, 1t
is to be hoped that he will be able
to make a big showing.

Grand Jury Commends Sheriff.


The grand jury, which closed its
labors on Wednesday and made lts
final report, was composed OF some
OF the very best men in this county
and their report will be found IN

remarked upon the streets that the

hard work and accomplished better
results than any other grand jury

ments, IS of which were liquor

The grand jury commends the
county officials and especially Sheriff
Russell, for without his efficient aid
the vast amount Of work could not
have been accomplished. The Courier

well-earned words Of praise given the
sheriff for he has certainly shown
himself to be a faithful county Off
cial, and it is with pleasure, there
fore. that we add our testimony to
that of the honorable gentlemen OF

1t was purchased two months before.
In view OF the fact Of needless de-
lays caused by the break downs OF
this gasoline machine, the city OF
McMinnville has this season pur-
chased for their own use steam
road roller Of standard make.
The experience OF Washington
county, Or, who also purchased a
gasoline roller was similar to that
of Yamhill county. One OF the sup
ervlsors who had charge of the work
stated that the roller was not In
working order six weeks altogether
during the whole season.
The city council Of Aberdeen,
Wash, in deciding recently on the
purchase Of a road roller specific
ally specified that they would not,
under any conditions, entertain a
proposition for gasoline roller, as
they have had experience enough
with gasoline engines in the motor
boats and automobiles.
The city of Portland, Ore, uses
the Buffalo steam roller exclusively
as does the Warren Bros. Construc
tion Co., one of the largest paving
concerns in the United States, hav
ing over one hundred machines II
almost constant operation in differ
ent sections OF the country.
The city OF Hoaquim, Wash, dur
ing the season of 1908 purchased {
gasoline road roller, but it's worl
proved so thoroughly unsatisfactor.
In every particular that they abso
lutely refused to accept it.
The city OF Grants Pass ha
caught the White Elephant feve
and now has one Of these gasoin
rollers and are trying 1t out on thei
street work. 1t was first tested o.
the rock crusher, as 1t was guaran
teed to have ample power to operat
} same to its fullest capacity, bu
when put to the test it failed ali
solutely, and an important castin
! on the roller was broken before
reached the quarry. What can b

Is put to a severe test in actual cor

Humor ma Philosophy
BY DUNCAN N. SMITH
HARD ON THE FACE.

DO you suppose that any folks
Conversed from day TO day
In language such as Shakespeare used
In working out a play?
IL they essayed the style he slung
When he was at his best
They'd have TO stop from time to time
And give their Jaws a rest.
A steady stream OF sentences
In hifalutin style
His characters rolled from their
tongues
And talked 1t all the while
They never stopped to chew a word
Nor for a breathing space,
Nor into slang did they descend
just to relieve their face,
The varlet, knight or roustabout
Who couldn't read line
Rolled gnarled and jagsed language
out
In manner superhne.
They simply scattered gems OF
thought
As colts in spring shed hair
And, were they learned or untaught,
Right with the goods were there.
In battles fierce and awful stress
Or In the heat OF crime
They had their feelings to express
In stilted prose or rhyme.
They may have tossed words In ths
breeze
As pictured in the play.

thirteen devoted themselves to dreams
Of spending the big income which the

GASOLINE ROLLERS VS..
STEAM ROAD ROLLERS

Gasoline road rollers at their best
are In an experimental stage Can
the county or municipality afford to
spend the money OF the people as
well as valuable time In experiment
ing?
Steam road rollers have been on
the market and in constant use for
twelve to fifteen years under most
exacting and severe conditions Of
strain and use and the leading ma
chimes on the market today have
been brought to point close to per-
fection.
While the first cost OF first-class
steam roller is a little more than the
gasoline machine, the first cost ends
sooner or later, while the cost Of
maintenance OF gasoline rollers goes
on forever, and the cost of repairs
soon brings the amount up to fig
ure far In excess Of the cost Of Il
first-class steam machine, and valu-
able time wasted on account of break
downs and delays can never be re-
gained.
During the season Of 1908 the city
of McMinnville arranged for the use
of gasoline road roller owned by
Yamhlll county and known as the
"Yamhil County White Elephant.
The records Of the city Of McMinn-
Vile show that while they had the
use OF the machine for nearly three
months they were able to operate II
only forty-three days on account OF
delays caused by break downs. Dur
Ing this forty-three days they were
able to roll only about three-fourths
