The ownership and operation OF
municipal franchises is streak of rea-
son in the people. 1t shows that they
are coming toward the common owner
ship of property and that the present
activity looking to the collective own
ership of city necessities is the first
conscious acknowledgement OF the ad-
vantages of cooperation. And social
lists should assist this limited appllca'
ton of the principle all they possibly
can. The people will see that it is good
having taken this step they will be
prepared to go further and enlarge the
functions of the state. There is, too,
an advantage to socialists in the way
of the extension of municipal owner
ship, inasmuch as it deprives capital Of
its ammunition. Every street railway,
every lighting plant, every water
works plant taken from capitalistiC
control is that much less influence tc
fight against the extension of the prin'
ciple. 1t releases capital which must
compete with other capital to the dis
advantage of itself-Coming Nation.

Need Of a Sense Of Humor.
From the New York World.

- ~ ~
The daily reports of suicides, d.
yorces. ruined lives and the like strong
ly suggest that we Americanc are NOR
bidly inclined to take things too SER
iously."
Yesterday. for example, was recorded
the suicide of a woman who habitually
made herself unhappy over trifies. who
on one occasion ''moped for days" over
a question OF grammar in which h
had been found to be wrong. At the
last she killed herself because her
husband. a printer. was too sleepy to
talk to her when he came home from
his work at 2 a. m.
Another case was recently reported
in which a woman killed herself be-
cause some dish that she had set out to
make had proved a failure. Another In
which a man committed suicide because
his income was slightly reduced. An
other in which a bright boy. owing to
illness. failed to pass a school examin-
at.on. and because of his parents cen
sure. hanged himself.
Isn't II time for our schools to Guilt
vate in our children a sense OF humor?
Isn't IL time for them to teach the phil
osophy OF ~hopefulness? Many a man
has confronted despair at night only TO
find success awaiting him In the morn
ing.
Despair Is always morbid. Hopefuinsss
Is always strength. IL Is impossible
for circumstances to defeat a capable
person who faces conditions courage
ously. The little things of life are really
little. The great thing is courage. n
Il Is all conquering.
When Drury Lane theater was burn
ing. Sheridan, who had his all invested
in IL, was found at a coffee m OPP
posite slipping a glass of sherry. N
when somebody remarked hat he was
singularly placid under the circumstan-
ces. he replied: why shouldn't a
man be placid when he In having a
glass OF wine at his own fireside?" II
Sher1dan's sense OF humor had been
less he would ave jumped into the
Thames that awful night.

The American Queen salutes Its
readers for the month of June with
an unusually interesting issue, con-
tanning articles of war interest, and
from woman's standpoint showing
how war affects them .aLd their duty
and heroism on the battlefield. Cuba
and the reconcentrados, too, come In
for share in these articles. "a
Sailors Knot, and How it Was CUT
by Frank r. Stockton; "Robin Hood, >
by Barry Pain; "a Chiid's Story" by
Sophie Herbert; and remarks aud
criticisms by Marguerite Merington,
holds the fiction department up to its
excellent standing. The departments,
which have become such a pleasing
feature in The American Queen, are
conducted, as asual, by authorities In
each particular line, and are as fol-

Western Oregon Crop Report.

Western Oregon Crop Report.
The weekly crop bulletin sent out
by the bureau at Portland says:
The change in the weather was
most opportune. The cool weather
retarded and checked the growth of
corn and beans, it delayed haying and
the ripening of strawberries and cher
ries. Wheat on lowlands was turning
yellow. The clear, warm weather has
changed all this. Strawberries and
cherries are now ripening rapidly.
Haying has commenced and will be-
come general during the week; the
hay crop promises to be unusually
large, Fall and winter sown wheat
is heading, The spring sown wheat
crop is in much better condition than
usual and presents better prospects.
Oats are in excellent condition.
In some sections hopyards are being
plowed up, owing to the poor pros
poets, The missing hills is an unus-
ual condition, which has seriously in
jured the crop.
The prune crop will be the largest
on record in the State. Some growers
are making arrangements to make
prune brandy, thus utilizing that por-
tton of their crop which can not be
dried. Apples, pears, cherries, and
ounces will yield enormously Insthe
peach districts, the peach crop is ex-
cellent. Grapes are making healthy
and rapid growth.
The vegetable crop is excellent.
Green peas for table use are plenti-
full. Early .planted potatoes are in
bloom. All vegetables are making a
rapid growth.
Pastureage is good and stock is in
prime condition. Except hops, not a
single product has been adversely re-
ported; and with the same exception,
all are reported to be In most sat-
isfactory condition.

LONDON, June 8.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Post has had an in
terview with Senior Moret, formerly
minister for the colonies. He said:
THE government does not know
where it is going. Moreover, there is
not a person in Spain who can fore
tell the outcome of the situation,
The government has no fixed plan. 1t
allows ma tiers to follow their own
course, needless OF the ultimate con-
sequences. The ship of state is drift

This is concealed as we'll as possible,
but il the truth Of the situation ever
becomes known the most serious
complications may result. The pres
ent ministers lack energy. 1 won't
say that they are voiceless, because
they talk to much: but they never
act. They are absolutely impotent
and are simply trusting to chance to
get out of their troubles.

that if plebisite were held, it would
be voted, even by the soldiers. The
queen regent has unjustly attacked by
Senior CASTELAR,, who is already posing

much doubt his ability to stir a
movement against the regency, The
regency was menaced, but for some
time past change has been taking
place, and the adversaries of the
queen regent haYe discovered the in
justice OF their attacks. 1t is diff
cult to say whether the regency will
be overturned.
"None can say what will happen in
country without guidence, with
foreign war on its hands, and daily
fearing fresh internal complications.
If the overturning of the regency
does happen, il will be an immense
misfortune to Spain.
