It's Too Often the Case

That you spend too much time criti-
cizing and too little time helping.
That your boasted "plainness of
speech" is merely boorishness.
That you content yourself with CIV
ing advice instead of lending helping
hand.
That you are planning such big
things for tomorrow that you forget to
attend to today's duties.
That you grumble at the wrongs
that abound on all sides and fail to
make any effort at righting them.
That you attend to the business of
others without warrant and neglect
your own business without excuse.
That you waste time envying the
man who has a fortune and fail to
make use of what lies at your hand.
That you yearn for reforms without
giving any assistance to those who
are striving earnestly to bring them
about
That you waste lot of time de-
nouncing politics as "dirty business
and neglect to go to the primaries and
purify it.
That you wish you could give mill
lions to save the heather and forget
to speak the kind word that might help
your neighbor.
That your boasted optimism is mere
ly laziness that impels you to accept

The Silent Gossip

1t isn't always what you say that hurts
your fellow man;
There are other ways of giving him
the hooks"
And knockers long since learned to try
more effective plan
They simply do it by their knowing
looks.
No spoken word-why waste the
breath? Just give little wink,
Or elevate your eyebrows half an
inch.
Just toss your head trifie, smile
bit and slyly blink,
And you've done the dirty business
that's a cinch.
There's Brown, your nearest neighbor,
he's distasteful unto you
But you haven't nerve enough to
speak it out.
So whene'er you hear him mentioned
as a fellow good and true,
You only wink your eye, expressing
doubt.
You grin knowing kind of grin, your
eyes are narrow Sits,
But never say word-from that
you finch.
Br. your actions tell your story, and
his name is smashed to bits,
And you've done the dirty business
that's a cinch.
You envy Mrs. Jones a bit, and know
no reason why;
But never stop to give her half a
chance.
You merely hate the woman, though
you smile on passing by
And curl your lips when taking back
ward glance.
You hear her kindly mentioned and
you toss your head and smile,
But wouldn't dare word in tightest
pinch.
But your nodding tells your feelings,
and in just little while

Short-SiQhted.

We find some men with union cards
in their pockets who would vote
against an assessment of cents if
they thought the same would save
some struggling local from destruc-
tion. They think every cent they
give to the local, either in dues or
assessments is spent by the interna-
tional officers riding in parlor cars
or drinking champagne but they never
kick about what they thrown away"
on whiskey, cards, dice and cigarets,
from which they get no benefit in

You have done the dirty business

You have done the dirty business
that's a cinch.
It isn't always what you say-you
needn't say a word
To blast woman's name beyond re-
pair.
Perhaps you never spoke her name
that anybody heard,
Yet smooched reputation that was
fair.
And all the while you do it you are
putting up with pride
That you wouldn't gossip even in a
pinch;
But your nod or wink or smiling in a
knowing way aside
And you've done the dirty business
that's cinch.

Gradual
"It is sin to steal a pin,'
To steal loaf is crime.
To steal beef makes you thief
And sets you doing time.
But steal some laws and get your paws
On every fellows throat,
And take his wealth by crook and

And you're man of note.
Indeed, that is your greatest chance
To be called captain of finance"

the great manufacturer and refiner.
But ] can manufacture and refine

planned the small manufacturer.
II reiterate that rebates have moth
ing to do with it," insisted the mag
nate.
After the complainant had retired
the magnate remarked sotto voice:
"Of course, the fact that own most
of the railroads has nothing to do with
the case."
Smiling a knowing smile the mag
nate proceeded to add to his reputa-

other check.

But what is the good Of that with

er. "As soon as l get few tenants

Curious Bird WAYS.

But how birds know when to go,
and which way to turn, are things
not yet well understood, because
the flights are at night and the
great movements start long
time before it really becomes nee
essary for the birds to go. They
leave their winterzhomes perhaps
in Mexico) when there is no per
ceptible change in the weather
and return from their breeding
grounds in most cases while their
food supply is atits very height
long before it is cold or the grass
and weed seeds and insects begin
to get scarce. In many cases, too,
the young birds of the year, who
have never left their homes be-
fore, lead the long procession in
the great southwark fight and;ar
followed later by their parents.

NORWAY.

Norway in seeding from the
Sweden-Norway union claims the
right to do so under the terms of
the compact under which the
two nations have been bound. It
is stated that they applied to
King Oscar of Sweden to sup
ply them one of his sons as a
king for Norway.
This Oscar refused to do, claim
ing that were he to do so he
would be attacking his own title,
as he still holds that he is king of
Norway as well as Sweden. 1t
seems that it would be a good
thing, and a wise one, for Nor
way to settle down on the basis
of a republic. All nations are
drifting in this direction and ulti-
mately the powers of Europe
Will adopt this plan OF govern
ment. There is no excuse for
any other governmental form.
To declare there is reflects upon
the intelligence of the common
people of a nation.
If the people of any country
are enlightened according to
10th century standards, they are
capable of self-government. If
they are unfit to the task Of self
rule they are benighted and must
have some person or power be
yond their own choosing to guide
them. They are incapable OF
choosing.
Norway is, we believe, fully
capable of managing her affairs
as a republic and the best thing
to do is to start a republic anc
stick to it on these lines.

IS IT W1SE2

The conviction that Russia has
not yet suffered enough defeat
grows upon one. This conviction
is followed by the thought that
President Roosevelt is a little
premature, though with The best
possible intent, in his efforts for
peace. We have contended, not
without a horror of war in all its
hellishness, that there will be no
lasting peace between Russia and
Japan until mastery beyond ques-
ton mas been thoroughly estab-
lished by war to the bitter end.
For other nations chief execu-
tiyes and rulers to intervene and
force peace will bring about a
cessation of hostilities and little
else. Until one of the nations
themselves are fully vanquished
on the field of battle, and ac-
knowledges the fact, there will be
no lasting peace. If obliged by
other nations to end the war both
Russia and Japan will watch each
other eternally and secret prepa-
rations will be the order of the
day with both powers.
Roosevelt, great and good man
that he is, is doing all in his
power for the honor of this ma
tion to negotiate peace, but the
wisdom of this proceeding is a
doubtful quantity. While we, as
a people, one and all, deplore the
awful sacrifice of human life, it
may be best to have the matter
fully settled now on the principle
that one war is cheaper than two.

Telegram has interviewed q num-
Der Of transportation people in
the metropolis.
Here are some of theiuterviews: !:
Captain James Shaver, Of the
Shaver Transportation Company
II do not think the Oregon City
canal and locks should be tied up
by private interests, which use
water for adjacent mills and often
leave the channels shallow, to
the detriment of steamers. Gov
ernment ownership would mean
that they would be placed in
good shape and always naviga-
BILE.
Herbert Holman, of the Kel-
log Transportation Company
don't see why the Government
maintains locks at the Cascades,
and not on the Willamette. This
river is entitled to the locks, as
well as the Columbia.
Captain E w. Spencer, OF
The Dalles Navigation Company
II have waited just rs years for
such a move. II would mean
the tax would be removed on
every bushe1 of wheat and other
products of the valley and thus
help every one. Most emphatic
ally I favor Government owner
ship.
Manager Graham, of the yell
low Stack Line-The residents
of the Willamette Valley be-
tween Portland and Eugene pay
in the neighborhood of 600, 900
each year as tonnage at the locks.
Whether the freight goes by rail OF
water the rates for transportation
are on the same basis, hence the
Shippers and consignees must
shoulder portion of the tax OF
so cents a ton. Government
ownership would obliterate this
SO cent tax and it would reduce
freight charges just that much.
They are the only locks in the
United States covering the same
amount of water that have 50
heavy tax.
Captain George Conway, super
intendent of the o. R. & N. wa
ter lines-The through tax on
freight is so cents a ton and Is
cents on that loaded at, the mills.
To make the locks free might
possibly invite competition on
the upper river, but that would
not hurt any one.
DC. O'Reilly, of the Diamond
o. Line The free use of the
locks would help Portland. the
valley and state at large. The
tax handicaps the river lines ane
retards the development of the
upper valley and river business.
