To Arrange Flowers.

Here are five golden rules which
should be observed by those who often
arrange flowers. Use plenty of foliage.
Put your flowers in very lightly. Use
artistic glasses. Do not put more than
two or. at the most, three different
kinds of flowers in one decoration.
Arrange your colors to form bold
contrast or, better still. a soft har-
mony The aim of the decorator should
be to show off the f1owers-not the
vases that contain them; therefore the
simpler ones are far preferable to
even the most elaborate. Glasses for
a dinner table should be either white,
a delicate shade of green, or rose col
or. according to the flowers arranged
in them.

A Corner in Candles.

AS an example of trusts and monop-
olies prevalent even in that early day
it may be mentioned that in 1850 one
Benjamin Crabb obtained the exclus-
i've right to make sperm candles in
Massachusetts for IA years.
A year later. however. factory was
started in Providence. R. l., and with
in the decade there were eight fac
tories in New England and one in
Philadelphia. Their output greatly re-
duced the price of candles, which not
long before sold for five shillings a
pound. In those days s1.25 was worth
fully three times as much as it is now.

That Congress Wants
No Anti-O Option Law.

Washington, Jan. Although
there is considerably more than
a month left of the present ses-
sion of Congress, there is a strong
impression that no hearty at
tempts will be made to pass any
anti-option legislation. The Scott
bill passed by the House at the
last session is sleeping in COM
mittee in the Senate. It's author
was defeated last fall and his ap-
petite for legislative work does
not appear to be very good now.
Senator Cullom, author of an
other anti-option bill, made a fu-
tile attempt yesterday to get the
Senate Committee on Interstate
Commerce to take up his meas
ure.
A meeting Of the committee
was called, but at the hour set
Senator Cullom and two or three
other members of the committee
were present. The majority Of
the members apparently cared 80

little for the matter that they did
not appear, and without a quo
rum the committee could not
give the matter any considera-
ton.
The venerable Illinois member
has formed no plans for again
taking up the measure. He has
not definitely abandoned it, but
in view of the fact that the Sen
ate will soon be forced to act on
appropriation bills, the chances
are that any plan he might make
would have an even less crafty
ing outcome than which fell
through yesterday,
Senator Cuilom is acting chair
man of that committee, as well
as author of the bill. In either
capacity, if there were any senti-
ment behind the bill, he could
usually get a quorum of the COM
mittee to go through the motion
of either considering the bill or
referring it to a subcommittee.

GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR PRESIDENT TAFT

Let hope that Colonel Roosevelt will get the ear of
President Taft and persuade him not to go over entirely
to that class of statesmen who support monopoly and who
only have one use for the republican party and that is
to make money out of it. President Taft has possessed
the confidence of all classes and if he will keep out of bad
company he will retain the respect of honest men every
where but begins to look if he has been almost per
suaded to cast his fortunes with that class of politicians
who control whole states by ring rule and corpora
tons for the money there is in it, The country needs
prosperity but it needs honesty in politics more and to
this end the people have determined to get rid of the
graftes and the monares who buy their way into the
United States senate The democratic party has proven
itself incompetent and in every way unworthy of con
dence but this party is preferable to corporation
rule President Taft has it now in his power to reform
the once honored and respected organization known
the republican party Let him follow the teachings of the
humble Nazarene who drove the thieves from the temple
because they had dshonored the place The way is now
open for Mr. Taft to country from the power
of worse gang than Christ denounced and drove from
the temple Let him join the new republican organ2a-
tion and help to reform the party from within

DON'T BE IN A HURRY TO PUT UP PRICES

The Courier has deemed it necessary on one or two
occasions urge the keeping down of prices of realty IN
order to attract greater number of homeseekes and IN
vestors This is most important matter as much de-
pends on Josephine county being in reality the land of op
portuny This should apply to the city as well as to the
surrounding country Those who have property for sale
should be content with fair advance to go beyond tins
point would be killing the goose that laid the golden egg
The trouble that spirit of speculation is too apt to
set n which is certain to do great injury as it will pre-
vent that most desirable class the home builders from
locating here 1t should be understood that prices are
not at present too high in either city or county, but is
important that there be no further advance until rrga
ton is fixed fact Let prices stay where they are until
the water covers the land If we all work to accomplish
this we shall succeed and then prices can be advanced all
along the line.
