Stinginess.

If there is anything on earth that
gives us a longing for eternal rest
and deep, damp solitude, it is man
who comes to town or county,
builds up a big, paying business,
grows rich and then squats down on
the gold like hen on doorknob,
and is too stingy even to let the
gravels grind in his own big gizzard.
A real, genuine, 1S-carat, stfngy,
selfish man can't be honest, and if he
ever gets to heaven and has wings,
he will fold them up and walk for
fear he will ruffle a plume or lose a
tail feather. The kind of men who
build up a town and county and en-
joy life and make the best citizens
are the enterprising, energetic and
liberal men, who believe in living
and letting others live, and who dc
not, when they get dollar, squeeze
it till the Goddess of Liberty feels
like she had on corset Such
squeezing is what causes hard times
and stops the circulation of the
American eagle. If it were not fol
our broad-gauged, enterprising mel
it would be impossible to build up ;
prosperous city.

very anxious that he be elected.
They hold daily conferences with
Tou Velle and help him plan the
campaign. They go into the remot-

weather and foul to forward his can
didacy. Putnam writes not a word
about the judgeship, but he lays
awake nights figuring out schemes
to elect Tou Velle Mr.. Tou Velle
has been grabbed by the Medford

ONE MAN WHO BETRAYED THE
PEOPLE.
Eugene Guard.)

Former Congressman Joseph c.
Sibley is a mental wreck in a sani-
tarium and will be unable to appear
before the campaign contributions
investigating committee. Sibley is
very rich man, who accumulated his
wealth after entering public life, and
the source of his income is at least
partially explained by the Archbold
letters, given publicity by William
r. Hearst.
A man of brilliant attainments,
an orator of ability and a gentleman
of pleasing address, Sibley is now
mental imbecile at the time when
he should be in the prime of life. In
an evil moment he was tempted to
betray the people and serve the in
terests which ever clamor for special
privileges, and he fell. He was daz-
zled by the glitter of gold. The dis
grace of exposure wrecked him men
tally and bodily.
The old adage that honesty is the
best policy is not exactly ethi-
cal, and it is time that honesty
should not be regarded as a matter
of policy. Strictly speaking, one
should do right because it is right,
whether materially advantageous or
not from the view point of policy.
But such an object lesson as that
furnished by Joseph Sibley tends to
strengthen the position of those who
preach honesty as policy. The
money that he received as the price
of his dishonor as a representative
in congress was dearly paid for; even
if public exposure had never come
its fear would always have been pres
ent, growing stronger with each sue
cessive honor bestowed by the people
he had betrayed Ones conscience
has to be reckoned with in all the
acts of life.
The honest man, rich or poor
walks erect and looks his fellow
squarely in the eye. He is the no
blest work of the Creator. More mel
. would be honest if they only realized
, early in life all that it means t
them. Most of us learn only through
; experience, however, and like tn
once brilliant Joe Sibley, may TAX
the step which can never be retraced
without full realization of its mean
ing.
. The old motto, Honesty is tn
:, best policy" should not yet
: turned to the wall.

Don't blame the newspaper man for
what happens in the community. If
there is anything in the life of the
place that you do not wish to go
abroad in the world, blame yourself
that it exists-not the paper for say
ing something about it. 1t is the
editors duty to make a typographical
photograph of the town each week,
and if you take a homely picture
don't kick the instrument, but try to
get better expression on your face
the next time.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen


An exchange says that one trouble
with this world is that there are too
many people who will not cast their
bread upon the waters unless they
are assured that it will come back to
them in a few days full-grown sand
wich all trimmed with ham, butter
and mustardA
1t seems that a 25-cent piece is
about the most unlucky article a per-
son can carry. On the American
quarter dollar there are thirteen
stars, thirteen letters on the scroll
held in the eagles beak, thirteen
marginal feathers in each wing, thir-
teen tail feathers, thirteen parallel
| lines on the shield, thirteen horizon
tai bars, thirteen arrow heads, and
! thirteen letters in the words, quar-
ter dollar" These 25-cent pieces,
unlucky and curse-laden as they are,
are gratefully received at this office.
1t is well to be up on umbrella
flirtations. To leave your umbrella
in the hall means, Il don't want it
any more" To purchase an umbrel-
la indicates, Il am not smart but
honest" To trail your umbrella on
the sidewalk means, THE man be-
hind you is thirsting for your blood. Z"
To lend an umbrella indicates, Il am
a fool" To put a cotton umbrella
beside silk one means, Exchange
is no robbery" To urge a friend to
take an umbrella, saying, 20, do take
it; I'd much rather you would than
not" indicates that you are lying.
To return an umbrella means-never
mind what that means, no one ever
does that.
You are not allowed to carry dead
ly weapons of the ordinary kind, but
you can go anywhere in the city with
an unmuzzled dog.
1t is said that an evangelist re-
Gently told the people of a neighbor-
ing town that if they wished to see

their back subscriptions. was the first
step to be taken towards the desired
end. That's good, practical sugges.
tion. When a man walks into &
printing office and planks down the
cash for ten or fifteen years bacl
subscription he's got genuine dyed

profound impression on the editor.

Mr.. Clark, candidate on the pro-
gressive ticket, and Mr.. Lane, can
didate on the democratic ticket for
United States senator, are both ex-
cellent gentlemen as far as we know.

Mr. Bourne because he has made
good. The Tidings does not believe
it wisdom to turn down man who
has faithfully represented the prin-
ciples in which we believe and trying
a new one who is untried. Jonathan

We hold it to be the duty of the
government to protect its people
from this kind of piracy. We, there

governmental supervision over this

selves thereto.
Conclusion.
On these principles and on the rec
ognized desirability of uniting the
progressive forces of the nation into
an organization which shall une-
quivocally represent the progressive
spirit and policy we appel for the
support of all American citizens,
without regard to previous political
affiliations.

Some people say that advertising

does it in an intelligent, straightfor

his side. He is lucky in his adver

The senatorial investigation into
trust campaign contributions is de-
yeloping one very prominent fact.
The big trust fellows are all against
Mr.. Roosevelt. In every case their
testimony is so formed as to reflect
as much as may be on the former
president If they are against Teddy
it simply means that either Taft or
Wilson is more acceptable to them.
AS we are opposed to trusts and
their crooked alliance with the gov
ernment we feel it safe to support
Teddy because they are against him
rather than Taft or Wilson, either
of whom the trusts prefer to Roose-
welt.
