LOWELL, THE ORATOR.

By his eloquence and brilliant
thought before the Walla Walla Bar
association and Whitman students,
Judge Lowell, Oregon's leading can
didate for the United States senate,
has set the papers of the northwest
to thinking of two great vital ques-
tions before the American people
law enforcement and choosing politi-
cal principles for life.
Judge Lowell discussed both of
these topics in a most able manner
in Walla Walla last week, and the
East Oregonian is delighted to see
both the Oregonian of Portland. and
the Spokesman-Revie of Spokane,
leading papers in the northwest, take
up his great themes and spread his
gospel wider by their publicity.
oratory is rapidly declining as an
American accomplishment 1t is
giving place to laconic messages die
tated by busy men to stenographers
But there is a large class of people
who yet love oratory and the demand
for Judge Lowell's services through
out the northwest is an fndex to his
superior attainments in this art.

THE TWIN CURSES.

The twin curses of our age are lax
ity of law enforcement and corrup-
ton in political life. These two sub
jects present the problems which ap-
parently it will be your part to aid in
solving. Wealth dominates politics
and legislation. Precedent, delays and
technicalities are bringing courts into
disrepute. The first is debauching
the electorate, the latter is menacing
alike men and institutions. The safe
ty of the republic demands that the
use of money, directly or indirectly.
in politics or legislation, shall receive
the just condemnation of every citi-
zen, and that the men utilizing it
shall find unfailing defeat. Courts
must stand for equality of justice. ad-
ministered promptly and regardless
of inherited nicalities.-Judge
Stephen A. Lowell, before Whitman
students.

CITY CHILDREN.

Pale flowers are you that scarce have
known the sun,
Your little faces like sad blossoms
seem
Shut in some room, there helplessly
TO dream
OF distant glens wherethrough glad
rivers run.
And winds at evening whisper Day.
light done.
You miss the tranquil moons un-
fettered beam,
The wide, unsheltered earth, the
starlight gleam.
All the old beauty meant for every
one.
The clamor of the city streets you
hear,
Not the rich silence of the April
glade;
The sun-swept spaces which the
good God made
You do not know: white mornings
keen and clear
Are not your portion through the
golden year,
o little flowers that blossom but
to fade.

body's Magazine for April.

SAN FRANCISCO BAY.

l lean against the rail and gaze
Across the waters blue and clear,
And dream of those romantic days
When men came seeking fortune
here;
l see hundred bulging sales
Pass through the distant Golden
Gate.
As, stained and torn by many gales
And having battled well with Fate,
They bring the eager Argonauts
AT last in triumph to behold
The haven of their fondest thoughts
The legendary Land of Gold,
taste the spray upon my lips
And from the present turn in scorn
To dream Of men in tossing ships
That beat their way around the
Horn;
look on ancient battered hulls
Well washed and worn by many
seas:
hear the plaintive cries of gulls
That soar about with graceful ease,
And, putting all my cares away,
] dream such dreams as once they
had
Who, sailing up the splendid bay,
Beheld Golconda and were glad,
The wild duck wings its graceful flight
Unmindful of the passing throngs,
And all that spreads before my sight
Still fairly to romance belongs;
The splendid cities on the shores
Remind me of their fearless quest
Who came to claim the golden stores
That turned mems longings TO the
West;
Far out the mighty ocean CLEANS,
The breeze blows sweet across the
bay,
And all that is prosalc seems
on fancy's wings to float away.

EFT TT, BUTTE.
+ + + + + + + + + + + I. + +

Twenty years ago it would have
been folly in Butte to have said that
the world would stand Iong enough
to produce an attorney general in
Montana with nerve enough to close
gambling in Butte.
Butte, the magnetic center of the
maelstrom of western wickedness,
Butte, the acme of accumulated in
iquity and hideousness. of the new
world.
The ssence of all toughness was
found brewed into one supreme
rquintessence of moral depravity in
that city. Stop gambling in Butte?
Would the Mississippi river flow up
hill into Lake Itasca?
But the history of the western
world is repeated in Butte.
When the great westward march
began after the civil war, all the
toughs in the United States gathered
at Cairo and ST. Louis, the two great
steamboat centers of the country. 1t
was predicted that st. Louis and
Cairo would finally be consumed as
:Sodom and Gomorrah, with the very
weight of their wickedness.
But they are still on the map, both
very respectable cities, thanks to the
regenerating influence of American
citizenship.
Then when the westward march
penetrated farther into the wilder
ness they said Lawrence and FIT
Dodge and Wichita would never be-
come civilized-that they would al
ways be the resorts of the most vicious
characters in the world. 1t seemed
that the cross bones and skull would
always be their trade mark.
But again the civilizing agency OF
the LAW came along and Dodge and
Lawrence and Wichita are beautiful
cities Of refinement and peace and
good morals
And then they said Virginia City
was the limit and the sand Lots" Of
San Francisco would be a perpetua
menace to western civilization.
There are as many Sunday schoo
classes in Virginia City today as sa
looms, and San Francisco is a city o.
homes, refinement and elevated NOR
ais, despite the old menace Of tn,
.thugsl
And then when all the other citie
of the frontier had been civilized anC
Butte remained as the only lingering

NO WHISkEY MONEY.

Al Crofton, secretary of the oregon
Liquor Dealers association, writes to
the Pilot Rock Record that no whis-
key money will be sent into this dis
trict to defeat Walter Pierce for the
senate.
No one expected Crofton to admit
this fact, but does anyone believe that
the association will let Pierce be elect
ed without a struggle? Does anyone
believe that this association will make
no opposition to Pierce after his zeal
Gus and successful work against the
whiskey ring, headed by this fellow
Crofton, in the legislature two years
ago?
Pierce saved the local option law to
the people who had placed it upon the
statute books of the state. He was
offered all kinds of money to betray
the people, was approached by the
ring with all kinds of compromises,
jobs, and tricks to defeat the will of
the people, but defied them all.
Does anyone believe that such a
man of the people will be permitted
to continue in office without opposi-
ton from this gang?
The people who placed the local op-
ton law on the statutes of the state,
knowing full we'll its meaning and
weight as club over the head of the
arrogant whiskey ring of the state,
are grateful to Pierce who led the
fight to save it from annihllation by
the gamblers and tools of the ring
from Portland.
Whiskey money will be sent into
this district-plenty of it, and it will
be used to defeat Pierce, the state
ment of the Record and Crofton to
the contrary Notwithstanding.
The whiskey ring of Oregon is one
of the lingering evils which the people
must stamp out. Wherever the peo-
pie find this gang opposed to a pub
lie official, they should stand by
him to the last ditch, for the opposi-
ton of the whiskey gang to any man
is a sure evidence that that man is a
menace to the perpetuation of its cor
rupt practices in the state
The people can safely trust any man
who arouses the opposition of the
ring.

resort of the thug, the gambler and
the villainous cutthroat, people said
that the fate of Butte was surely
fixed and she would always be the
rendezvous of the tough-there was
no other place left for him, and he
must keep Butte out of the ranks of
the orderly cities,
The struggle has been long and ar
duous and bitter. Butte has held out
a remarkably long season against the
combined forces of decency which
have multiplied their assaults within
the past five years.
But the LAW is supreme, even in
Butte, and yesterday the attorney
general of Montana, George Galen,
ordered Butte's games to close
That will be a red-letter day in the
history of Butte.
That man will stand as the one
hero of that rich and growing state.
The civic league, the little band of
earnest, conscientious, determined
men, with the law on their side, have
persistently hammered at the indecen-
cy of Butte until it has melted before
their efforts, and Butte surrenders to
the supreme law of the land,
The last western stronghold of the
gambler has fallen. Where will he
gather his shattered fortunes together
next?

Tree Clubs i'm Texas.

Much of the "staked plain" district
of Texas is without trees, but when
the people were advised to organize
club for starting trees they prompt
ly acted on the hint, and the associ-
alton already has over 600 members.
1t is proposed to organize local divis-
ions and spread the idea throughout
the treeless section Of that state. The
government forestry officials are to
cooperate by advice as to the trees
best suited for introduction and plant
ing, and as to the best methods Of
planting.

SOCIALISM Is SWEDEN.

The steady growth of socialism in
Europe is by no means confined to the
great nations like Germany, France
and Austria. At the recent election
in Sweden the socialists polled 10000
votes, or one-seventh of the whole
vote cast. At the previous election
they had cast but 10000 ballots. At
that time they elected four members
Of the National house. At the last
election they won IA seats.-Wilshire

Bucking Snow.

The railroad officials are commencing
to breathe little easier on account OF
the tendency to soft weather. A little
thaw would cause crust to form on
the drifts and would eliminate the dan
ger of the cuts filling up again as the
wind sweeps over the prairie. It's as
much asIyour life Is worth to say snow
around the railroad offices, as it causes
an icy chill to creep up the spine of ali
the officials, who for the past week have
been putting In day and night buckinp
snow. No such March storm has ever
been known in the history OF the road.
and in fact, no such storm has afflicted
the road at any other time of the year
for twelve or fifteen years. The officials
have nothing to say, except that they
are pretty well worn ont, and that
trains are now coming through pretty
regularly again. All portions. Of the
road were tied up during the storm. the
greatest trouble on the main line being
or the east end between Soda Springs
and Montpelier, where at one time there
were four passenger trains laid out for
thirty six hours waiting for the rotary
to clean the cuts and let them through.

east end. Int they are expected in soon,
