A young woman who is getting
ready a box of wedding fin cry has had
some showers given for her lately,
though the parties were not called by
that name. At one of the showers the
girls presented the engaged one with a
collection of tea towels. all of them
hemmed by hand and an initial en-
broidered in colors in one corner. (By
the way, the initial is HID OF course
these hand embroidered art squares
will never be used for drying dishes,
but will spend their best days substi-

ready their hope boxes tho girls al

they rest, never expecting anything so
ornate as this girl got for the dish

A notice appears in one of our local
papers that the school board of Chicago
instructs the teachers in the public
schools to have the pupils rise and sing
THE Star Spangled Banner" at the
opening exercises twice each month, as
a lesson in patriotism. This is not Il
new idea to Topeka. In a Topeka grade
school, of which Miss Lola Graham is
principal, the pupils sing from memory
America and THE Star Spangled
Banner every Wednesday morning,
and salute the flag after the singing.
So Topeka got the idea first and also
got more of it.

ton for public Improvements and,
after years Of endeayor, they were
successful, though they met the deter
mined opposition Of the knockers at
every turn.
Today Ashland probably owns and
enjoys more public Improvements
than any othr city of its size in the
state, some Of those who were most
determined in their opposition in the
past have become the towns most
aggressive citizens. Ashland Is a city
Of wealth, and just there lies its
greatest drawback, strange as it may
appear. Hundreds Of its residents
consist Of wealthy men who have
made their fortunes in fruit, and who
i've in the city and farm in the coun-
try. They seIfshly consult what they
believe to be their own interests, and
have no spirit Of public enterprise,
They oppose any plan which may in
crease their taxes, without giving
thought to the future, and they can
not see that progressiyeness means
prosperity. It was this element shat
opposed the proposed bond issue.
No city can have a greater asset
than large number of energetic
young business men, thoroughly i'm
bued with the spirit Of progress. 1t |
is such people that make empires and
it is such energy that has made Wash
ington a state with a population
nearly twice as large as Oregon, not
that the latter was a
state when the former was only a
territory, and a very sparsely settled
1ne at that.
Energy and wide-awake activity are
1t all times required to build up any
community, and the city, town or vii
age that has these attributes in the
greatest abundance will outstrip its
leighbors as certainly as the sun
hines.

ELECTIONS IN MAINE.

People who have wondered why thC
result Of the recent voting in Maine
was so long in doubt, won't wonder
50 much when they understand the
methods employed in getting the re-
turns from the villages 10 the eenters
Of population. The following, which
comprises the official report Of the
Town Clerk in one of the Maine vii
lagos sheds light on how they con-
duct elections in Maine:
FDear Sir am submitting to you
my third and, / believe. my final re-
port for the official tabulation. When
| telephoned election night that it
had gone wet by 80 to 7 | supposed
that | was telling you the truth. l
was not there myself, because l was
busy at home, but / sent my sisters
husband, whose photograph | enclose,
if you see fit TO publish it, to keep
tally and let us know how it went. He
was invited over to Hi Chase's house
just before the polls closed, and when
he got back the folks had gone home.
He asked Ed Pease how it went, and
Ed, who is great joker, and once
played in a show in Bath for two
nights for the benefit of the Grange,
said 30 to Z wet, just as said to you.
1t went over the phone, as before re-
ported
II now find that it has gone dry,
but ! don't know how much, as the
figures are not yet available. l have
asked everybody that | could and how
they voted, and all Of them said they
voted dry, but / think some of them
voted otherwise, and if | were you,
under the conditions, | would make |
the figures, dry 20, wet 6. That makes
allowance for Fred Pugsley, who was
arrested for ill-use of liquor just be-
fore the polls opened and who did |
not get bailed out till afterward, but |
[ have put him down wet, as he was
rery, and would have voted so if he |
lad good chance, as he is a disgrace
o the town, although his wife is
good woman and sings in the choir
practically all Of the time.
eff I get anything late I will let
,ou know, but l think this is near

"P. S.-Change that vote to 90

ent here, although thus far I have
obtained no genuine evidence, but a

The young couple who had agreed

but, ordinarily, a fellow wants to

such a step. He'l be "in the air"
soon enough thereafter.

THE BEST TEST.

Agitation which demands a more
liberal Interpretation of the church
Discipline in a certain religious or
ganization, is now being carried on.
The church rules, in question, deny
IT'S members the privilege Of attend
ing dances, theaters and card parties,
but the more liberal members ask
that this restriction be removed. and
members be permitted to consult their
own consciences regarding what they
do, and do not, attend. 1t is ques-
tionable whether the Discipline will
be amended as asked, but, after all,
individuality is the surest test of
Christianity, it would seem. People
who do not do this or that, because
their church says it is wrong but who,
in their hearts really want to do it,
it appears are a long way from sane
tification. 1t is such provisions that
makes hypocrites and brings criticism
upon religious organizations, from
those outside their membership. but |
who might possibly be induced to en-
brace their faiths.
The Observer has heretofore voiced
the belief that it is impossible to leg
islate religion into a mans heart
impossible to make bad man really
good by rule or rote. For one to en-
brace religion and still to wander af-
ter the flesh, or at least wish to do
so, is to miss the mark aimed at by
The churches. Laws are made for the
protection of society and, by the same
oxen, religious societies lay down
certain laws or rules which are SUD- :
posed TO govern those. who affiliate. I
But there is this difference between [
he sinner and the righteous: On the 5
me hand, the law says that the latter !
hall not do thus and so, while on the @
ther if he has really and truly en- a
raced the faith, he is not supposed d
o wish TO do the things which his ,
hurch forbids. Then why the rule 4? J.
he supremest test of Christianity is q
