THINE WAITS FOR NO MAN"

Tomorrow" is always the obstruc-
ton which puts us n more day be-
hind, and paves the way for mis-
fortune and pain.
Some day the tall man with
the big scythe and the long beard

That's the way some men and wom-

they die they leave nothing t insure
a decent burial, much less leave the

can keep up with Time.
If you are insurable today there will
come a day perhaps tomorrow. when

Series of Lectures

"What the Catholic Church is
and is not, teaches and does not
teach. " will be the general scope
of a series of lectures to be COM
menced on Monday evening. May
Bird. at eight o'clock at the Moose
Lodge Hall, st. Johns. and to
continue for an entire week.
Rev. Charles NJ. Smith of st.
Johns and Rev. j. X. Buck of
Forest Grove are to be the speak
ers.
The purpose of these lectures
is not controversial. but educa-
tional: TO give intelligent per-
sons reliable information on a
subject which is discussed a
great deal. but understood most
imperfectly. A certain Methodist
clergyman. Rev. j. B. Hem
neon. recently said: 1T is n
strange and lamentable fact that
not one Protestant in ten thou
sand knows the truth about the
teaching and practice of the
Catholic church. When a
person of common sense wishes
TO obtain information about any
thing. whether political. religi-
Gus. scientific. or il matters not
what il may be. he goes to head
quarters for authentic informa-
ton never 10 those who seek To
destroy. or who are the enemies
of that which he wishes TO study.
Not one Protestant in thou.
sands ever seeks information
concerning the Catholic Church
from Catholic sources"
The Question Box" will be a
special feature of these exer-
cises. Any one may ask any
serious question or questions on
the subject of religion or the
Catholic church; write it on a
slip of paper. and hand il i'm at
the door. where a box will be
placed for that purpose. Ques-
tions can also be mailed, address,
ed to the Pastor of the Catholic
Church. ST. Johns; ordinarily
they will all be answered on the
same evening ON which they
were asked. and publicly in the
hall. This course of lectures is
absolutely free: there is no coll
lection of any kind. Those who
can should be at the opening one
on Monday evening. at which
important general explanations
will be given. Reported.

The Portland Public Docks
commission will force the people
of that city TO vote on a 5000. 600
bond issue in June to build n
great public grain elevator and
storage warehouse. The bonded
indebtedness of that city has
reached figure that makes the
taxpayer shudder TO think about
il. but il seems the end is not yet
reached in the program of city
enterprises. OF course, no one
can explain why a grain eleva-
tor is needed any more than a
municipal coal bunker or n hop
or wool warehouse. but the Docks
Commission must keep busy at
something. Municipal grain ell.
evators have been impracticable
everywhere tried and the service
TO be rendered is now entirely
supplied by private capital and
transportation companies. But
that fact alone is enough to
start the agitator, and he points
out 10 the voter that the inter
ests now handling elevators need
regulating as all big business
does. The state and the politi-
clans are the only possessors of
the brain power requisite TO
handle big business right. while
the citizen is only fit TO operate
a peanut stand. Pacific Coast

Councilman G.. l.. Perrine's
plan for a public comfort station
at the city hall grounds is a
most commendable one, and is
both a necessity and a convent
ence, and he has been given
authority by the council to go
ahead with his plans. He con-
templates making the city hall
plot a thing of greater beauty
by planting shade trees and
shrubbery and flowers thereon,
and provide comfortable seats
for use of the weary traveller.
He would be glad to receive sug-
gestions as to the best sort of
shade trees to plant, with refer
ence to longevity and usefulness
for shade purposes. Any one
having knowledge of such shade
trees should confer with Mr.. Per-
rine.

Shall dogs be tied up and led
by a string when upon the
streets. or shall they be allowed
10 run at large without string
and without mu2zle. is the ques-
tion that is causing more or less
agitation at present. The dog
regulation question is am old
and veXatious one for city ad-
ministrations To contend with.
Naturally the dog owner and
the citizen that does not possess
such an animal look at the mat
ter from different points of view.
The former believe they should
have as much liberty as possible
and the latter believe that the
less liberty canine enjoys the
better for the community at
large. So between the two di-
verging opinions the only thing
TO do is 10 try and strike a hap
py medium. Councilman Dow
ney. with the unhappy expert
enee of having been severely
bitten by a dog. believes that il
would be no more than right
that all dogs be kept in leash,
whether at home or on the
streets. Another citizen con-
tends that dogs would more
likely go mad from being tied up
than from any other cause. The
previous council experienced a
trying time with dog regulation,
in making ordinances and then
amending them TO suit eXigen-
cies as they seemed TO appear.
So what shall be done with the
dog, is the question. 1t is also
a question i'm Portland that is
continually causing more or less
discussion. Some have suggest
ed that all dogs be prohibited
from incorporated cities. some
contend that all dogs found with
out muzzle should be shot on
sight. others claim that dogs
should be permitted TO run at |
large freely and untrammeled |
except during dog days"
What is best 10 do and how TO
do it satisfactorily and in justice |
to all concerned is still ques-
tion for which a true solution
has apparently not yet been dis
!
