THE LITTLE TUNE.

oh, once there was little tune that
wanted to be sung.
But no one ever thought of 1t, so no
one gave 1t tongue.
1t lowered round musicians souls, 1t
quivered in the air,
But nobody discovered 1t nor dream
ed that 1t was there.
Twas such merry little tune, so
blithe and gay and glad,
But after waiting weary years the lit
tie tune grew sad.
And though 1t didn't understand its
nameless longing pain,
It's merry melody became wdiling,
haunting strain.
One summer night, all aimlessly, it
idly floated near
A wonderful musician, who bent his
soul to hear;
He caught the sad, sweet melody, then
with consummate art,
He sang the little tune to typify a
broken heart.

A SUCCESSOR TO ROOSEVELT.

There are but two logical successors
to President Roosevelt, in public life
in the United States today-either
Joseph w. Folk or Robert La Toilette.
Others might adorn the presidential
chair. but these, two men alone, now
in the public eye, would successfully
carry out Roosevelt's ideals and en-
force with equal vigor the DEGREES Of
civic and political Righteousness.
Both La Toilette and Folk are sus-
ceptible to growth. Both are pro-
gressive. Both are aggressive. Both
are plain men. They believe in honesty
in office and in the absolute sover-
eighty of the people. They are neither
egotistical, further than is necessary to
sustain the positions in public office
to which they have been successfully
called.
Republicans could vote for Folk
with the same cheerful spirit with
which democrats voted for Roosevelt.
They need not ask for his views on the
tariff. money, or Philippines. He be-
lieves in good government and clean
illness and law enforcement. That is
sufficient. The same can be said of
La Toilette. The day of partisan can
didates is past. Men, of the Roosevelt.
Folk or La Toilette type are better
than platforms.

,anse OF this tremendous narrlet to

cause of this tremendous barrier to
commerce. The city is 20 years be-
hind her logical commereial growth
because of this pigmy bar flung across
the path of commerce at the rivers
mouth.
Now that 40 feet OF water is found
over the bar, and the jetty is a sue
cess, Portland will secure her legiti-
mate quota of Investment progress
and commercial strength.
1t is just as IL a dungeon door had
been opened and flood of hight al
lowed to pour into the dark reeesses,
to feel that the bar will be removed
and water deepened so Portland will
actually become a port without obsta-
Gle or barrier. ,,.-.

HOW FTLIPINO CHILDREN ARE
q BEING CIVILIZED. a.

Mrs. Jean r. Hail. one of the mis-
sionaries stationed here by the Pres
byterian board of foreign missions,
tells of Sunday school picnic recent
ly held for Filipino converts on much
the same lines as similar picnics are
held in the United States. Mrs. Hall
comments on the fact that the Filipino
converts seem willing to give up, ex-
cesses to which they are accustomed.
when one considers that their year
is fun OF feast days and professions,
that every death is followed by nine
days of feasting drinking and gam
bling, and that every occasion Is seized
upon for pleasure, this @renunciatio
means a good DEAL The chief joys of
the Filipino women are dancing and
gambling. To these the men add the
cock pit.
I'VE did not think day in the
woods would do any of us any harm,
so on one of the many holidays here
we gathered together, some 900 strong
and boarded launch to so over to
the island of Guimaras, across the
channel.
the plans and 1t was with slight feel
ing OF trepidation as to what might
have been left undone that we set out
in the early morning. 1t was beau
tifuI day and as the launch went
down the river the ears of workmen
on the sugar launches were assaile d
by the unusual sound of joyful hymns.
True Filipino airs are written in a
minor key and are doleful in the ex-
treme.
Reaching the landing place, 20
minutes walk brought US up to a
wooded spot in the midst of which
was a clear spring and pool. Walking
ahead of me was boy with huge
iron basin inverted on his head On
inquiring what it was for, 1 was told
that it was one of the cooking pots for
the midday meal. We went to where
the games committee was beginning
its work. Firt we had kind of
blind mans buff. where the blinded
man was further troubled by clapping
before and on all sides of him. When
we were all very warm over that, we
changed to a native game, something
like French and English" that do
not understand very well yet so can
not explain. Then came races for the
young, old, single and married.
I'm typewriting some of the notices
Of the program 1 had noticed two or
three bicycle races but as there was
no smooth path, and nobody had
brought a wheel, these races did not
come off. The prizes consisted OF
two huge baskets of luscious mangoes
and soft cooked rice, done up in little
rolls in banana leaves. Towards the
end of the games there were so many
who had to have consolation prizes
that one of the girls had to noun:
guard over the basket, to insure prizes
for all the winners. The little ones
enjoyed swings which were put up in
the huge mango trees.

THE DISAPPEARING BAR.

The story is given out from reliable
sources that the fear that the Column
bia river bar would never be over
come by the government engineers
has prevented the Northern Pacific
from building into Portland years ego.
The futile efforts to make a deep
water passage there in the past have
been watched with eager vigilance by
this road. Several times 1t has been
ject altogether, because it seemed that
nature had laid an immovablc barrier
across the mouth of the Columbia.
It feared Portland would never be
able to compete with seacoast ports.
The assurance of the government
engineers that the bar will be over
come was a final signal for the North
ern Pacific to lay its hand upon the
project of the North Bank road. 1t
means now to make Portland its chief
Pacific coast point. 1t has the as
surance that the largest vessels that
cleave the ocean will anchor in Port
land and it hastens to reach that city,
however great the cost
For quarter Of century Portland
as been wavering in the balance.
Competent engineers have declared
that the bar would finally yiad to
proper methods. Others have given
up the problem in despair.
