LIFE AND DEATH.

In LowelPs last volume, published some three
years ago, are these lines, which are clearly the
hearty utterance of a man who loved Life deeply:
Truly this life is precious to the root,
And good the feel OF grass beneath the foot;
TO lie m buttercups and clover bloom,
Tenants in common with the bees,
Aud watch the white clouds drift through CULTS
of trees,
Is better than long waiting in the tomb;
Only once mo,e to feel the coming spring
As the birds feel it as IL bids them sing,
Only once more to see the moon
Through leaf,fringed abbey OF the eims
Curve her mild sickle in the west,
Sweet with the breath OF hsycocks, were boon
Worth any promise OF soothsayers realms
Or casual hope of being elsewhere best;
To take December by the beard
And crush the creak;ng snow with springy foot,
While overhead the north's dumb streame1
shoot,
Till winter fawn upon the cheek endeared,
Then the long evening ends,
fingered by cosy chimney hooks,
With high eompanionship OF books
Or sippered talk of friends,
And sweet habitual looks,
Is better than TO stop the ears with dust;
Too soon the spectre comes to say, "Thou must!'
Pass my next milestone waits my seventeen
year
mount no longer when the trumpets call;
Ny battle harness idles on the wall,
Inc spiders castle, camping ground OF GUST
Not without dlnts, and all in front, trust
Afar the charges tramp and clash OF spears;
But tbs such murmur only as might De
The sea-sheils lost tradition Of the sea
How empty seems to me the populous street,
One figure gone daily loved 10 meet
The clear, sweet singer with the crown OF snow
lowl
And, ali, what absence feel at my side,
Like Dante when he missed his laureled guide,
what sense of diminution In the air
once 30 inspiring, Emerson not there!
But life is sweet though al that makes IL rect
Lessen like sound OF friends departed feet
And death is beautiful Is feet OF friend
Coming with welcome at our Journeys end;
For me Fate gave whats'er she else denied.
A nature sloping to the southern SIDE;
thank her Tor Il, though when clouds srise
such natures doubie-darken gloomy skiea
l muse upon the margin OF the sea,
Our common pathway to the new 10 BE,
watching the sails, that lessen more ana more,
OF good and beautiful embarked before;
with bits OF wreck patch the boat snail bear
Ne 10 that Unexhausted Otnerwnere,
whose Handicapped shore sometimes see,
BY soft mirage uplifted, beckon me
Nor sadly hear, as lower snks the sun,
Ny moorings to the past snap one By one.
Yea, truly IS the salfowing years
Fall from US faster, like frost loosened leaves
Pushed by the misty touch OF shortening days,
And that unwRkened winter nears,
lis the void chair our surest guest receives,
lis lips long cold that gives the warmeet kiss,
It's the lost voice comes ofteuest TO our ears;
We count our rosary by the beads we miss

THE STATE PRESS.

Goldendale seatsnei: "It does seem from .
business point OF view that il would be TO the
interest OF the farmers to encourage the building
up OF cities, If for no other reason than to in
sure consumers OF the products of the farm. But
the idea that town people are non producers,
and who snbsist on the farmers like ieeches,
crops out here aud there with persistency truly
or lat cow 70 sell their use for the city begins
and ends with the sale We have very little
confidence in such selfish citizens. The sooner
people become thoroughly in earnest 20 build
up the community interests the sooner prosper
isy for individuals viii be brought about"
Big Bend Eaaerprise: "If the experimenters
st Philadelphia who succeeded in killing COW
with koehis lymph propose TO continue their
work OF investigation and wish to Be
OF service to their fellow-men, they
should leave the meek and useful Jersey alone
and tackle the potato bug and the dude"
Mount Vernon Chronicle: "The people OF
Warrington have never taken much interest in
state or national politics and the territorial del
egates were generally elected on personal pop
ularity or on some local issue, rather than a.
representative men OF either political party"
Garfield Eaterprise: labor gathers the gos-
samer web OF the caterpillar, the cotton from the
neld, and the fleece from the flock, and weaves
1t into raiment soft, warm and beautiful-the
purple robe OF the prince and the gray gown Of
the peasant being alike its handtwork."
spangle Record: "Let us either have the laws
enforced or give up our city charter and depend
on the state for protection 1t is waste of
money to pay officers large salary and not have
the laws enforced"
Avon Record: "The world is supposed to be
round, but the word crooked just at present
seems to apply to IL nicely"
The Shelton Sentinel: "The Democrats all
have common sense and they are honest to

The opposition of the Liberal Unionists
to Mr.. Balfour's proposition to grant Ire
land local self-government, after the man.
ner in which it exists in England and
Scotland, as nothing but Home Rule in
disguise, " is not unexpected, for it is GER
tainly very liberal attempt to compromise
with the demand for Home Rule, for it is
practically concession by the government
that it can no longer sustain itself or its
old platform of coercion. Balfour is really
nearer Home Rule today in temper than
Gladstone was ten years ago when he was
applying coercion to Ireland.

WORK FOR THE COUNCIL.

The whole twenty-five members of the
city council viii go out Of Office in March
next. They have, therefore, six months
within which to accomplish all they in
tend to do. The list of subjects needing
attention is long one, and many of them
are of such character as to justify all the
deliberation the council can give them
without making it a mere excuse for pro-
crastination.
The most pressing is the tax levy, and
following that the preparation for the
issue Of bonds to the amount that may be
decided upon. The rate of the levy to be
made viii govern the amount to be bonded.
There are very important details to be con-
sidered, some of which may be anticipated
by the city's experience in the last issue,
which took many months to perfect.
The sewerage system and the method of
paying for it is no less important and
equally difficult of determination.
The retrenchment bill, so far as it relates
TO offices 70 be filled in the future, must
not be allowed TO drift along until it be-
comes too late to do anything for two
years.
Whatever amendments to the charter
are to be submitted TO the people must
also be prepared and voted upon by the
council first The discussions on these
alone will probably consume some time.
It may be safely predicted that this task
will lead to gaping differences of opinion.
and II is q pity the old commits
sion cannot be revived, and remould
il in the light of experience. 1t is we'll
devised scheme of government, and only
needs reconsideration in some details.
The commission could not act as a recog-
niEed body, but as an informal revisory
committee it would be of far greater SER
vice than any such "hotch-potch" as was
proposed few months ago. 1t is too late
now 10 pass many of the ordinance. neces-
sary 10 put the charter into effect. Some
of them are independent of any changes
likely 10 be made, bat if the charter is TO
be revised many of them may as well be
deferred so rs 20 avoid conflict.

A MYSTERIOUS POWER.
Electro Magnetism as q Curative Agent

During the past century there has been
a great revolution III the department OF
medicine, as in everything else. The old
methods, to a great extent. have been laid
away forever, and, guided by new scien-
tific discoveries and the elevation of hith-
erto hid len truths, the people of today
see clearly and surely where before they
saw through glass darkly. Among the
greatest exemplars of this new regime are
the Drs. Darrin, who have their office at
"The Normandy" corner of Third and
James streets, Seattle, Wash, where they
have recently located, for the cure of the
sick and afflicted.
They cure permanently all diseases of
the genito-urinary organs, in either sex,
such as Loss of Manhood, Blood Taints,
Syphilis, elect, Gonorrhoea, Structure, Sper-
matorrhoea, Seminal Weakness or Loss of
Sexual Power in man or woman. All Pc
culiar Female Troubles, Leucorrh9a, Dis
placements, etc. They make q speciality
of all diseases of Eye, Ear, Nose and
Throat, and also treat successfully deaf

cultivation and character. In the South
courts adjourned, schools and stores
closed for the races. The famous Virginia
statesman, John Randolph, is popularity
esteemed to have been cynic, q bitter,
sarcastic. sour. solitary man. but in his
youth he was passionately fond of the
turf, riding his own horse and winning the
race on the Charleston (S. CD course
over Sir John Nesbitt, an English
nobleman, who rode his own Scotch
bred horse. Races for big purses
took place in those days. At the Union
course, Long Island, in May, 1923. Eclipse,
Northern bred, carried off $4,000 purse
from Southern Henry, and $2o0, 900 changed
hands that day. In the same year, on the
same course. Colonel William Johnson, of
Petersburg, Va, backed his horse for
so, coo against Eclipse, and was beaten.
These stakes, measured by the compare
tive poverty of the nation then and its
riches today, have never been surpassed in
our day, if they have been equaled. In
May, 1912, the New Jersey mare Fashion
beat Boston, the sire of Lexington, in q
race for $4,000 . side, best two out of three,
four-mils heats, Fashion making one heat
in 7:32k, great time for those days, but
Lexington in 1854 made four miles in
7:19z.
The pulpit in 1876 and the religious press
brought the turf into disrepute among
gentlemen and for number Of years the
Northern turf fell into the hands of jock
eys and gamblers, but at the South it held
its own until the civil war, which destroyed
it at the South while it encouraged 1t at
the North. Before the war the race went
to horses that to speed Joined great en-
durance, and four mile heats were popu-
lar, but after the war speed became the
leading requirement and short races be-
came the rule. The Jeromes, Belmonts,
Lorillards, Vanderbilts, the late w. r.
Travers, Southern born and bred man, be-
came patrons of the turf, and other wealthy
men like Robert Bonner, by their great
investments in fast horses, did much for
its improvement but the Jeromes, Bel
mont and Travers are dead; none Of the
Vanderbilts are today as conspicuously
devoted to the turf as were the old Com
modore and his son, VIM. n. Wander
bilt, and the turf at the Atlantic seaboard,
while popular and well supported, is not
so completely under the patronage of men
of wealth and high character as it was
fifteen years ago. While short races are
the rule today, nevertheless even in four
mile heats the racing record since the
war has completely beaten the best record
before the war. Against Boston's TAO
for four miles in 1912, and Lexington's
7:19N in 1854 we have Ten Broeck's 7:l5Z.
