To ask a doctor orsbuilder or sculptor for
his autograph would be in no way rud.>
10 ask one of these for a specimen
of his work, however, is quite another
thing. and the request might be justi-

The origin Of that influential coter1e,
the English Cabinet, was due to the fact
that George ]. knew SO little of England
and her statesmen that the selection OF
the royal Cabinet which had previously
been royal function, was left to Wal
pole; and since the King did not under
stand English, he did not even attend
the meetings Of the Cabinet. That is

BASIS OF AGREE aENI.

Tho Times believes that in the present
oordit;on of the convention the Meredith
plan. or one similar to it, incorporating
Its main features. furnishes suitable
basis OF agreement
While the Times does not approve a
property qualification. yet we regard that
as less Objectionable than the understand
Ing clause, even for a limited period Not
because the understanding clause does
not IN itself offer an almost ideal test o.
the proper qualification for voting Dut
because that method has been so notori-
ously and we fear hopelessly associated
with dishonest election practices that 1t
has become a synonym for fraud.
So Tar as The Times knows and believes
the demand of the people from the state
nj large will not justify the placing OF an
understanding clause in the Constitution.

we look at those three crosses standing
sharply out against tho sky. Into 1ne
darkest Of earth's darkness, into INC
deepest consequences Of sin (where 1t IS
possible for innocence to go), the Incar-9
nrte One has gone He is with the worst
OF Us, in His awful misery. NO ch1ld Oh
God, no created being shall endure any
suffering which He shall not fathom TO
irs depths with them.
Amid the darkness which enfolded him
We hear cry Of such anguish that stlrs
our heart Of hearts. It is a cry Of desc
latfon, abandonment and disgrace, which
is wrung from the sufferers lips: MY
Gtd! My God! Why hast Thou forsaken
Me?" If this cry bewilders us as we try
to comprehend the deity to which 1t ap-
rcals, it may at least reveal to us some
thing Of the depth of agony out OF which
it asccnds.
Sin did it ALL We trace its power every
where. We see its. woe. We learn to
late it, but we come to the profoundest
krowledge and hatred Of it when we see
that it crucifled the Son of God. Whose
sin? Yours and mine, my friends. What
sin? All our wilfulness. all our disobe-
dience all our untruth, all our passion
and lust and selfishness and wicledness-
they all constitute a part in that sin
which did not stop until 1t had nailed
Christ to the cross.
Christ on that day entered into our
Shame. Deep into its very heart He en-
tered The blackness of darkness was
around Him. But He died, and died that
death that we might be brought to God.
We have not learned the whole lesson
if we have only felt His condescension.
Not till He who has stopped to us, has
lifted us up to Him. must we be satisfied.
Net till He who hangs upon the cross
beside us, has said to US also, To-day
thou shalt be with Me in Paradise
Oh. that by Gods grace we may to-day
accept anew His sacrifice for us and give
ourselves to Him through every self
surrender. that He may do for us and in
US all that He intended by His death!

President Roosevelt has won the
approval Of the entire country by TAX
Ing his emphatic stand In the case OF
General Smith, who is charged with
having instructed Major Waller to
shoot Filipinos without trial, says the
Statesman. There Is another develop

public qualification over the attitude
OF the administration. The members
Of the court martial to try General
Smith will DO selected In Washington.
This Is plainly because there Is fear
that somebody might be put on at
Manila who would be inclined to favor
the accused man. Naturally, such a
case asOuses much feeling, and, In or
der to have a court that will certainly
be unbiased, the president has deter
mined to have 1t named at home,

The Charlotte, IN. c. Observer Is a
democratic newspaper that takes no
stock In the howl that Is being kept
up by the Aguinaldoites In this coun-
try. This honest editor Of the SOUTH
land says: "This talk about the con-
sent Of the governed, when you get to
the bottom OF 1t, is mostly rubbish.
We people Of the south. for instance,
who have for years been cheating mig
gers at elections, and kept it up until
we concluded that 1t was cheaper to
disfranchise them by legal enactment,
now shed crocodile tears on account Of
the woes OF the Filipinos, and cry
aloud that all just government derives
its authority from the consent OF the
governed. Rot! The south didn't
consent to the government it got for
several years after the civil war. The
southern niggers are not consenting to
the government they are getting now. 4"

The stream OF homeseekers contin-
ues to pour into Eastern Washing

The stream OF hOMeSeekerS cOntln-
ues to pour into Eastern Washing
ton. These people are commonly
called .shomeseekers, but they are
not all homeseekers by any means.
Many are job seekers and large per
cent are seekers for something rarely
TO be found. The actual li0meseeker
comes prepared to secure a home at all
hazards. II he has money and exer-
ciscs care In keeping this fact from
the army OF real estate sharks by
whom he Is besieged Immediately
upon landing, he usually succeeds In
his object and as rule Is satisfied and
soon becomes contented. II he Is
without money his determination to
secure q home will win anyhow, for
Uncle Sam still has lots OF land to be
had for the taking by those who pos
scss the courage and energy required
to hew q home out Of the wilderness.
But the actual homcseeker comprises
. small per cent OF the hordes who
come west. A large per cent OF the
immigrants are working people who
come west, not to secure farm, but
to better their conditions by securing
more congenial employment at better
remuneration than they had been ac-
customcd To In the east. These have
been misled by interruptions transpor-
tatl0n agents and those who work on
the theory that large influx, Of what
ever class, is good for the country.
IL Is needless TO say that bitter disap-
p0intmcnt awaits nine out OF every
ten Of these working people. The
employment here Is not any more con-
genial than was their eastern Job, and
when the higher price Of living is
taken into consideration, the remun-
Grafton ID not more and often less.
While 1t Spokane recently the writer
was amused with the experience Of q
trio Of husky young fellows from Iowa.
After spending their savings Of about
two years In coming west To lind a bet
ter job, they had concluded to return
~ their old places, where they de-
clared the wages arc higher and living
expenses less. The fact Is that the
labor market Of the United States has
about found It's level and the working
man who starts In search Of a better
Held usually sQuanders his earnings
In vain. Those who come west for
something which they will not find
believe all they read In newspapers
and circulars issued by the transporta-
tiOn companies. Not only that. but
fertile imagination creates a regular
elySlum Of the whole west. When
these lind that here as elsewh here man
lives by the sweat Of his brow, they at
once become disguised and make their
way back east as best they can. New
erthcless, the opportunities for the
cnterprising and energetic homeseck-
or, who Ia prepared to undergo some
hardshipS during the first few years,
are unlimited. The climate IL perfect

1t would appear there is one fault
common to all army officers who have
won distinction In the service OF their
country. These are usually men OF

place themselves in a position where

stop the flow Of words. The brave
Funston Is the latest to have sue

PERSONAL MENTION
At the Grand Opera Ronse

The romantic historic play, Rupert Of
Hentzau, by Anthony Hope drew a
fine audience Monday night. That eve
ming has proved one of the best Of the
week for play and Salem audiences
have constantly increased In intelligence
and ability to appreciate frstclass dra-
matte attractions, which is evidence Of
increasing culture on the part of the
people aforesaid. The play was pre-
sented in foil costume and scenic effect,
and showed the grand capacity Of sa-
lem's new playhouse to Its fullest ex-
tent. The star parts were ali well car
ried on and the support was excellent.
With but few and weak partsfor women
1t lie distinctively mans play, and
yet all the better liked for that by the
women who must get very tired of the
creatures Of their own sex
even OF modern drama. This proves
over and over that IL pays to bring good
play to Salem. The engagement OF
Miss Shirley for all Of next week is
looked forward to by those who like
legitimate drama at.lowest prices. Miss
Shirley and her company have many
friends at Salem.
