Is Life Worth Living.

Is life worth living? Faith hardly
know
Sometimes l think it is, and some
times nay.
When the tomorrow thfong upon my
soul
Turn for refuge to the yesterday 80
Because within the golden past find
Some spar 10 cling 10 in this ebbing
sea;
Something 10 give me more Of . trsnqui
mind
Some little change from human mis-
cry.
IS life worth living? Oh the foaming wine
We drank upon the threshold Of the
years.
O how it rilled us, and how faint the line,
Onthe horizons verge of future tears'
Sometimes deem that could once
ag ian
Feel but the burning thrill of loves
first kiss.
ia give a whole eternety otpain
For that past joy that ancient per-
ished bliss. /
o remember when my life was young
How oyously the merry seasons rolled.
The lips that thrilled, the melodies we
sung.
Ere hands ware palsied and ere harts
grew cold.
Could l within my yearning arms enfold
That woman that / loved in years
gone by.
Me thinks that then never should grow
cold,
And lifes long dirge be changed to
lullaby
Is life worth living2 Ahl when I turn
back.
And view the weary road that have
trod
And miss the many faces from the track,
Who from hose dim days have been
drawn to god
l truly fear that am weary, too: !
That too, fam would rest where
they have lain,
And steal away to join the good and true
And bid good by 10 worriment and
pain
Still hopeing when the kindly breezes blow
Above my grave in some sea bordered
grove,
The thought Of those cherished long ago.
Would mingle with the winds that
swept aboue.

TO REMOVE A STAIN,

Now we don't know it personally, hut
every primary we hear the old remark:
!" hat the election was carried by the lib
eral use Of money, by the bribery of vo-
ters, by the purchase Of enough to carry
the county" Now we don't believe Lee
county sells that cheap, but with all this
talk there is placed stain upon the
county that her citizens who are free, hon.
est voters should mol be compelled to sub
INIT 10. II is aslurupon their good name:
4 Is stain upon their honesty, and
should be remedied il there is way under
high heaven Of doingu
Il Is crime punishable by law for any
candidate 10 offer, or to have any one to
otter for him, money for the purpose of
election.
II these oft recurring charges are not
true, let's dlsprove this year If it is true,
let's remove them by prosecuting the per-
petrators Of the bribery. Let us not have
Il said We are for sale
Il was said years ago some poor people
had accepted money Tor their votes.
Some Of the poor devils were thrown ont
Of the jury box. Who told on them but
the bribers9 But they went free, and the
poor devils suffered.
If these recurring charges are true, 1t
becomes US as people to start ,right-go
to the fountain head--punish the ones who
are most to blame, an we will have no
NOR Of il in the future.
Il hey are not trNe, IT becomes the right
81 the hundreds of honest voters Of Lee 10
ask that it be proven to be not true that the
stain may he removed from them and
their children.
Let's for once have year Of electionsin
which il connot be said that money ruled
Let's have it if we have to adopt the most
extreme remedies known to the law.
Ilis the duty Of Lee 10 cast of the stai.!

Mrs. Kellogg's personal fortunes
followed very closely those Of this
city. By successful real estate spec
uItations she had amassed before the
fire of 1889 a fortune Of nearly
1925, 900. OF this amount she lost
much in the confiagration, these
losses being followed by others, so
that when the panic of 1893 struck
the town nearly all of her holdings
we're swept away. OF late years she
had been rapidly recouping her fallen
fortune.

Surveys Through Canyon for
Two Roads

A representative of the Press had
the pleasure of meeting Chas. E.
Fitzgerald, chief engineer Of the I'm
ion Traction company, Of Spokane, ia
that city yesterday and discussing
with him the Wallace branch Of that
road which is being surveyed through
the Fourth Of July canyon. Mr..
FITZGERALD stated that the company
would build this line without doubt
and that it would connect with the
lines radiating through the mining
country from Wallace. The work
will be pushed to completion and as
soon as the weather permits in the
spring the grading will be COM
menced.
Mr.. Fitzgerald stated that the
Milwaukee road, which Is now trying
to find low pass to Spokane from the
st. Joe river would again investigate
the Fourth of July canyon route with
the idea Of passing through Occur d.
Alene. He also stated that he would
go over this route for a second survey
as SOON as the weather would permit,
which will probably be early in the
spring.

share of discussion, the reform tariff
stands at the head Of the list but no
one has the least idea that any SER
ious efforts will now be made to Sc
cure the modification which even
many republicans think desirable.
The senate will give attention to
the case Of Senator Smoot, but what
it will do about it, not even the SEN
ate wishes now to contemplate.
There has from the first been dispo-
sition to put the Smoot matter aside,
but with the report of the committee
on privileges and elections on the
calendar and Chairman Burrows quite
determined to press consideration,
the fact is that the matter must be
dealt with, and is beginning to i'm.
press itself upon members and they
are pressing seriously for its consid-
Grafton. The Michigan senator will
set the ball rolling Monday, the 10th
instant, in speech in which he will
review the entire case.
Much interest attaches to the pres.
ident's recommendations concerning
the Panama canal, principally be-
cause of his recent visit to the canal
zone. 1t is not expected that he
will ask much legislation beyond the
necessary appropriations, and there
is general dispo Iition to grant these.
The increase of the navy will receive
much consideration, but there is still
opposition to the proposed ship of the
Dreadnaught cass.

Washington, Dec. 3.-The passage
of the approximation bill and as little
other general legislation as possible.
Such in brief is the forecast for the
short session of the Fifty-ninth con-
ress, which began at noon today.
Circumstances will have the effect
of condensing the consideration of
the IA large supply measures into
two months. Considering that the
aggregate of the appropriations to be
considered will approximate one bill
lion dollars some senators and mem
beers express the opinion that congress
cannot do better than give all of its
time to these measures.
The report on the ship subsidy bill
probably will be an exception to the
rule for no general legislation. The
friends of that measure have never
been more insistent than now. They
are extremely hopeful and yet very
apprehensive. The bill has passed
the senate and is in committee in the
house.
The senate has on its calendar two
important house bills, the immigTa-
ton bill and the Philippine tariff
bill, but there are snags in the path
way of both of them. There is still
intense opposition to the Philippine
bill, especially as it is believed that
it can possibly receive serious con.
sideration during the short session.
Not few members of both houses
are anxious to meet the demands of
bankers and others for a more elastic
currency, and it is quite certain that
there will DE efforts to supply this
want in the session.
Suggestions looking toward amend
ing the railroad rate law are not ex-
pected to bear fruit this session.
All these measures and many Others
are certain to receive attention in
the debate.

WANTS NO TAINTED MONEY
President Roosevelt VIII Re-
turn Insurance Money.

Washington. Dec. 3.-Before he
retires from office President Roosevelt
intends to have refunded the money
contributed TO the national committee
by the Equitable, the Mutual and
New York Life companies.
The aggregate of their contribu-
tions was s14S, 900.
The fact that he was elected with
the help of money taken from the
policy holders has nettled the presi-
dent. He feels that it has placed a
faint upon his administration, as
we'll as upon his public career. 1t
became known today for the first time
that the president has already taken
stems to have the money refunded and
that this would have beeR done long
ago, but for the Obstinancy OF Post
master General George B. Cortelyou
and Conelius n. Bliss Of New York
They told the president that while
they would like 70 accede 10 his Wish'
his request was impossible. They
declared that IL would be interpreted
by the public as a confession OF guilt
which would place them both In
position peculiarly embarrassing.
The interview terminated with
President Roosevelt unable 20 carrJ
his point, but it is known that he Il
as determined as ever. How be will
work out the problem Is mattel
which il is understood, has 50 far re
