really finds that what he had thought
was love was only spasm; that the
confagration he imagined was con-
suming him died out without blister
ing; that he did not love the girl
even as brother, and that he did love
someone else7 Should he marry his
former flame under false pretense ?
Would not that course be greater
injury to her than frankly to say
that his mind has changed? Of course,
where the girl has gone to any ex-
pense in preparing for wedding, that
expense should be borne by the tickle
swain, but there is much to say for
the man who argues that jilting does
no serious damage.

The commencement exercises of til,
Dallas High schools begin ionigh
and continues throughout the weeI
with short intermissions. The severa
events should be well attended by the
people of Dallas as an expression OF
the appreciation of the excellent work
being done in the public schools. The
school system of Oregon has been pro-
nounced by eminent authorities to be
excelled by none on the Pacific coast,
and Dallas schools rank high with
others in the state. Do we fully ap-
preciate what a wonderful asset is a
good school system9

MAKING GOOD PROGRESS.

That the Mexican mediation confer
ence at Niagara Falls is making goo,
and entirely satisfactory progres,
seems to be generally accepted as {
fact. Reports purporting to give il
detail what actually has been accom-
plished should not be accepted without
allowance, for, of course, the proceed
ings before the board of mediation are
being held in strict confidence. Sur
mise and mcclure will naturally be
indulged in by some of the correspon-
dents, but until the veil of secrecy is
lifted there will be little chance of
knowing exactly what is going on, or
what will be the final basis of settle
ment, if one is arranged
Semi-oficially, however, those quail
fled to speak with authority admit that
good progress has been made in the
effort to overcome the main obstacles
to an agreement. 1t practically is ad-
mitted that the object sought is to ar
range for provisional government
for Mexico, to be placed in the hands
of an Independent commission, prob
ably of five men, who will be selected
with the idea of having all factions
i'll Mexico represented 1t is further
suggested that Huerta will probably
be allowed to retain his present office
until this commission is completely in
stalled, and the United tSates will
doubtless maintain it's forces at
Vera Cruz until the new system is in
operation; after which American
troops will be withdrawn.
The reports seem to indicate that the
one possible obstacle to this plan NAV
be the reluctance or refusal of Car
rama and the cOnstitutionalists to
agree to abide by it. The United
States, however, is in a position to
bring strong pressure to bear on the
constitutionalists, if they demur, and
in the end it is likely they will be
to yield. On the whole, in
fact, the prospect of a satisfactory
settlement of the so-called Mexican
problem is better than at any time
since the start of the trouble. And
the American people will indeed be
glad if the outcome verifes the opti-
nistic predictions which are being
made along this line.

WAS SHE DAMAGED?

An eastern girl has been awarded
4 Judgment for five thousand dollars
against Il man who had promised tC
marry her and failed to keep faith
His father offered as defense that
the son, man of thirty-one. had
never tried to earn a living and that
the girl was better off without him
than she could be with him. and that
instead of being mulcted he should be
rewarded for his conduct.
This raises the question as to wheth-
er a girl is really damaged when a
man does not marry her. Suppose he
married her, abused her and forced
her to get a divorce-a contingency
not unlikely when one considers that
he is admittedly tickle. Would she
not wish then that she had retained
her feedom instead of getting it at
trouble and expense to then be a
"grass widowi"

And now our state resOunds to the
mournful plant of the newly organ
lied Hopgrowers' and Dealers Union.
If the prohibition passes, so they
say, all the hopgrowers will be ruin
ed and invested capital be an entire
loss. The presumption is that all 'hc
rich land now planted to hops will
sink out of sight or go up in smoke.
Other agriculturists when they find
one crop does not pay, still having tls
land left, set about finding out what
will pay, and if they are intelligent
men will succeed too. But this un-
ion seems to belong to a different
class. and instead of putting their
money and effort to this purpose, will
fight this moral anil economic reform
instead.
Though we have no history of :he
account, no doubt when Alb. the cave
man first invented the rude bow and
arrow which supplanted the club of
his ancestors, his neighbors were fear
full lest the game would soon all be
killed off by this deadly long distance
weapon.
But history does record the dreadful

PEOPLE AND THE LAND.

The so-called land problem is yearly
becoming one of wider extent, and is
engaging the attention of the people
in various parts of the world. MOI
is it only in the older settled coun-
tries that this problem presses for
solution. In Australia, for instance,
we are told that the process of tax.
ing the big landlords off the land, in
order to give the common people q
better chance, is steadily going aheaC.
One magnificent estate of $4,000 acres
in New South Wales, owned by cor
poration, is to be broken up and sold
in small tracts. 1t has been used
for grazing purposes, and the laws of
the province provide for heavier tax
upon favorably located lands thus
used than would be imposed if they
were under cultivation. The owners
find that they cannot afford to pay
the tax and get the small returns that
grazing permits.
That same thing is going on in old
Wales, as well as in new. 1t has
made great progress in Ireland, and
it is handsomely under way in Eng
land, and to less extent only in
Scotland, as result of the workings
OF the land taxation laws which LLOYD
George has written into his budgets.
He Is now proposing further to in
crease these duties on uncultivated
lands, and thus to add to the incentive
for great holders to give the people
a chance.
The doctrine of the two Georges
that the land must belong to the peo-
pie, because the people must live by
it, gains ground steadily all over the
world. The realization, now at last
on the public, that the Mex
lean poems are really fighting for this
same thing, just as the Liberals in
Britain are, is compelling more
gracious attitude toward the irrecon-
,ilables in the southern republic.

THE CASE OF BELT.

There having been some discussion
concerning the legality of Mr. Harry
Fl. Belt s nomination for the circuit
judgeship of this district, it is only
fair and just to that gentleman to
say that the contention is unwarrant
ed. Even were the contention that
Mr.. Belt failed to register for the
primaries sustained, the grounds for
questioning the legality of his nomi-
nation would be merely technical, for
the electorate declared for him over
his opponents S claim to the office by
majority of 1900 votes, and ma
jority rule is the fundamental princi-
pal of American government.
Had Mr.. Belt been defeated in the
primaries, take it from The Observer,
he would have abided by the decision
of the people and, as loyal republi-
can, put shoulder to the political
wheel, cheerfully supporting the nomi-
nee of his party. Mr.. Belts name
will appear on the official ballot in
and there is every reason
to believe that he will be elected.
His campaign is one characteristic of
1he man-clean.

DON'T WORRY GIRLS.

Another problem of general interes
and no little Importance apparently
has been solved. Announcement is
made of the discovery of a chemical
substitute of chicle, which as every
one knows is the vegetable product
that forms the basis and supplies the
resiliency of modern chewing gum
The supply of chicle, so it is claimed,
has recently fallen far below the needs
of the trade, largely as a result of the
unsettled conditions in Mexico, from
whence most of this product is Sc
cured. And as there is no telling
when peace and order will be restored
in Mexico, thus to enable the poems of
that country to resume the occupation
of chicle gathering, the situation in
the gum trade was becoming really
serious, with a prospect that Ameri-
can gum chewers might either have
to go without their customary quid,
or at least pay much higher prices
for the privilege of exercising their
jaws.
The menace, however, promises to
speedily evaporate and disappear. The
chemical substitute, so it is announc-
ed, is just as good as, if not better
than the genuine article, and it can
be sold for about half the price of
the Mexican chicle, to which We have
become accustomed to pin our faith
and attach our jaws. The chewing
gum magnates, moreover, declare they
will double their output within a
few years, and some of them even go

PURELY PSYCHOLOGICAL -

There appears to be considerabl,
basis for the assertion made las
Thursday by President Wilson, to tn,
effect that the so-caIled business de-
preston in this country at the pres
ent time is "purely psychological
and has no real foundation in any
economic conditions existing TODAY
This was the keynote of the presi-
dents response to delegation OF
influential manufacturers who called
on the chief executive and urged him
not to push any more legislation at
the present time which might embar-
ras or disturb business interests.
Particularly these manufacturers were
interested in securing, if possible, an
abandonment of the administration
plan to secure the enactment by con-
gress OF better law to regulate trusts
and combines: But the president
gave no encouragement to those who
urged this change of program, telling
them plainly that so far as he could
see natural and general conditions are
favorable TO broad expansion of
national prosperity, and suggesting it
was the duty of business interests to
take advantage of these favorable con-
dltlons, rather than to let their fears
and apprehensions guide them into
concerted effort to hold back trade
and business, and thereby check and
retard prosperity.
Some of the presidents callers are
inclined to regard this as "another
lecture by the professor" but at the
same time it would seem that the
lecture was fairly deserved. There |
is, In truth, practically nothing in the
business or financial horizon to war
rant pessimistic outlook on the part |
of business, while on the other hand
the prospects are so rosy that only
the wilfully blind are unable to see
them. Nor can business interests long
ignore these favorable conditions, and
when the awakening comes business
quickly will revive. To some extent
this revival of business already is in
evidence, but it will be FASTENED and
accelerated if business will let conf
ienee take the place of needless fears
and groundless apprehension.

ROOSEVELT'S RIVER.

To discover and explore river
thousand miles long, and thereby gair
the distinction Of "putting it on thu
map" is an accomplishment wortl
while, in the opinion Of ex-Presiden
Roosevelt And so it is, for in this
modern age nearly every section of the
earth has yielded up its geographical
secrets, and certainly there are moi
many thousand-mile rivers lying
around loose to be picked up, named
and mapped, not even by the most in
trepid explorer.
However, Colonel Roosevelt appears
to have done no less than he claims,
and as he himself suggests, river
"stays put" and "his" river is right
there in central South America, so
that anyone can go any time and in
vestigate, if they doubt his story. lie
and his party actually navigated this
river for an estimated distance Of a
thousand miles, and although the trip
Ilecessitated hardships Of severe
character others who would duplicate
the feat will have an easier time. hav-
ing advantage Of the idea and other
information gathered by Roosevelt.
Under the circumstances, moreover,
one can scarcely blame Explorer
Roosevelt for mildly criticising and
poking fun at the world S geograph-
ers, who appear to have settled down
to the conviction that present day
maps are complete and accurate, and
that the field for new exploration has
been about exhausted. 1t has remain
ed for Mr.. Roosevelt, the adventure
loving American, to convince them of
their error, and at the same time to
add something of genuine value to the
world s information.
incidentally, one can see another
Nobel prize going to our ex-president,
and certainly he appears fairly to
have earned it. And as Nobel
prize amounts to something like $50,
900, it is something worth striving for.
But the intrinsic value will be nothing
compared to the satisfaction of Col
onel Roosevelt in accomplishing a
thing of worldwide Importance, and
literally snatching this distinction
from under the very noses of others
who would have been only too glad
to win the honor that now goes to
Explorer Roosevelt.

THE BOND ISSUE.

1t is nothing short of misfortune
that the arguments heretofore pre-
sented by the promoters of the fair
site proposition miscalculated in their
financial conclusions as regards the
cost to the taxpayer. because wrong
impression of conditions goes forth al
most to the eve of the election. There
erroneous statements, however, are
now corrected, and the news columns of
The Observer today may be relied
upon as presenting authenticated facts
and figures. There has been no lit
tie opposition to the proposed bond
issue because of the heretofore an
nounced amount deemed necessary to
be raised by taxation each year for
a period of ten years to liquidate the
Indebtedness incurred in the purchase
of land for county fair purposes, but
upon careful revision of the whole
matter the additional tax is shown to
be so relatively small that this op-
position will doubtless be entirely
eliminated.
Instead of calling for eighty cents
upon every 800 of taxes paid, as
announced in the argument favoring
the measure, property valued at 800
would pay but a fraction over six
cents each year for the whole period,
which would liquidate interest and
principal, and give to Dallas one of
the best appointed fair grounds in the
state. The Observer on Tuesday next
will publish detailed argument.
compiled by representative men of the
community who are impressed with
the necessity of voting the bonds in
order to keep the fair at the county
seat, the logical place for the home
of such meritorious institution.
One thing should be borne in mind
by all interested in the proposition,
that the title to the property is vest
ed in the city of Dallas, and, with the
rapid advancement of the city and the
consequent enhancement in realty val
ues, is certain to prove a valuable in
vestment for the future, county fair
IL no county fair.

apprehension that greeted the first

The same was true of numerous

know that all labor saving devices are

But what but comparatively few

thing that makes for the moral and

also a benefit.

Although one by one all large en-

man who drinks, though its use is
absolutely forbidden to any man in

strongest crusaders against liquor
drinking and though only to the most
wilfully blind can fail to see it is an
enormous economic loss from any
standpoint. still every class that has
