The Ideal In everyday Life.

The inward enthusiasm which glad
dens us, sustains US, lifts us again
when we fall, is more necessary than
our daily bread. Man lives on the
ideal. All Of us have need Of its sub
lime grandeur, which, while defying
all comparison. vet associates itself
with the smallest actions. Do not
scorn any lowly labor. The secret Of
the true life consists In understanding
the close relationship existing between
that which is SO wonderfully beautiful,
so highly spiritual and the things seem
ingly so small, destitute Of beauty and
spirituality.
The words everyday life" recall the
days Of the week, the commonplace
days, without variety or brightness.
Days are not all one like the other.
SSe have Sundays and holidays, which
have an altogether different aspect
from other days. There Is a mental
condition for holidays, and, having so
long been under the dominican inffu.
ence, a mood for Sunday, and, in the
sweet contagion Of hopes which ench
Sunday reawakens in us, some find the

THEY ARE WORRIED.

According to The Portland Oregon ian's Washington Bureau of Informa- ton the two great political parties of the country are now on the anxious seat trying to decide where the cam paign funds are to come from for the ensuing contests. The article from Washington says:
 It so happens that both parties are unusually anxious to make good retain control of the House and at the same time point out that the peo- pie of the entire country approve. the course and the policies of the Adminis- tration. The Democrats want liberal fund because they believe with such a fund they can carry the House and Administration course Is not ap- proved. A Democratic House would be of material aid to the Democratic nominee for the Presidency in 1908
 All this is interesting, and the anx- iety of the party leaders is not to be wondered at. It has. come to pass of late years that great political cam paigns, like other great enterprises. are very largely run with money. The po Hitical wheels must be greased. and greased Iiberally, or they will refuse to perform. We do not now remember how many millions of dollars were spent in the last national campaign. but 1t amounted to an enormous sum. and it came in the way of contributions. There Is no national campaign on this year, but the Congressional elections will be held in all the States and they are important. The result will in some measure be an index of what will hap pen two years hence. As the article quoted says. both parties are on their mettle. The Republicans want to hold their own. for any important fall ing off in the vote might not only lose them control of the next Congress, but would discourage the workers and vo- ters of the party. Likewise. great Dem ocratic gains might give them control of the House and would spur them up and hearten them for 1908.
 So 1t is that money will be needed and must be had, but where Is 1t to come from? is the point There has been SO much scandal and exposure in connection with the campaign of 1906 that Congress has been forced to take action. and the great corporations will be ehary about chipping In hereafter. Besides. the action of the Government against the trusts, the pure food con troversy the packing-house exposures

and various other things have combin-
 ed to sour the great corporations and
 disincline them to contribute money
 to either of the parties. Where to get
 an adequate supply of dough is a vii
 tai question with the leaders.
 And In connection with this subject
 we notice that The New York Times
 IS surprised at the apparent indiffer-'
 ence which the President is exhibiting
 in connection with the bill to prevent
 campaign contributions from corpora
 tions. It sAys:
 MT, Roosevelt knows better than al-
 most any one else that the tribute paid
 oy the corporations to the party ma chine and the sums given in the inter- est ot individual candidates give the
 corporations hold on legislation and,
 to a certain extent, on administration that they could not get in any other
 way These gifts constitute sort of
 mortgage on many a member of Com
 gress either directly or through the in- nuence exerted hy party managers. The
 man who has had a considerable part or the expenses of election paid by cor
 Doyati0ns Is not fully a free man In matters In which they are interested Neither IS a man whose renomination depends on party machinery fabricated by corporations. It Is not matter of bribery or of any coarse form of infili- ence, put IL IS matter or practical poll itics. The very elect could not hout such obligations as are assumed in every election toward contributors to campaign funds. It Is not necessary to believe that there Is a corrupt bargain, or any express bargain of any sort. but situation Is created in which contrib utors are bound to find their advan- tage. If they did not find their advan- taga In 1t they would not contribute. Possibly MT. Roosevelt has come to
 look on this bill. with the discussions
 on 1t. is to some extent reflection on
 him and his Secretary, Mir Cortelyou. as well as on the Republican Party in
 general or 1t may be that he thinks
 he has said enough to make his posi-
 tion plain to all. However that may
 be- we thoroughly agree with The
 Times as to the i'll effects of such con-
 tributions. It Is. impossible and con trary to political human nature to give
 large sums to assist a political party, or a certain candidate, and not expect | some return. If it Is possible for law
 to make an end of such corrupting in- | duences, tha law should do it. But 1 where will the campaign funds come i from. That i5 the question that is
 bothering them.
