EQUAL SUFFRAGE GAINS.

Reports from different parts of the
state say that the prospects for the
success of the equal suffrage amend
ment are flattering.
Since the liquor interests have
taken an active part in the campaign
against the suffrage amendment.
thousands of voters who were actu-
ally opposed to suffrage for women.
have declared that they will now vote
for the amendment rather than be
classed with the saloon opposition.
Members of churches who have op-
posed the amendment are now en-
phatically in favor of the movement
for the simple reason that the saloons
are openly fighting it. The decent
people who opposed it On grounds of
reason and logic, will vote for it
a part of the saloon "line-up" against
the women.
Thinking men of all parties are
coming into the equal suffrage ranks
daily, for they absolutely refuse to be
counted by the liquor interests as a
part of the opposition. The saloons
are openly boasting that they have the
amendment defeated. But the votes
are yet to be counted.
Oregon surely has enough loyal
and progressive citizens 10 offset the
influence of the saloons. Few men
having families care to be classed
with the liquor interests against their
own wives and mothers.

\ NATIONS STRENGTH.

What builds the nations pillars high
And its foundations strong?
What makes II mighty to defy
The foes that round it throng?
1t is not gold. Its kingdoms grand
Go down in battles shock;
Its shafts are laid on sinking sand,
Not on abiding rock.
Is 1t the sword? Ask the red dust
OF empires passed away:
The blood has turned their stones to
rust,
Their glory to decay.
And is it pride? All that bright crown
Has seemed to nations sweet;
But God has struck its luster down
In ashes at his feet.
Not gold, but only man can make
A people great and strong;
Men who, for truth and honor's sake,
Stand fast and suffer long.
Brave men who work while other.
sleep,
Who dare while others fly
They build nations pillars deep
And lift them to the sky.

Upon his masterpiece entitled Fate" "
And dreamed sweet dreams the while

And gave his work his soul, his

His task complete at last he had no

The world would not pronounce his

But poor, unknown-pray, what could

The mad world laughed. and gave aot
praise but jeer.
Empelled to ask wherein his work was

EUROPEAN CROP PROSPECTS.

European agriculture Is again
playing in hard luck. March was
bad month. In Great Britain, France,
Holland, Belgium, Germany and even
in parts of Italy and Spain, tempera-
lures have been at intervals about
the lowest of the year.
Soil already saturated with the ex-
cessive rainfall of winter has received
further accessiOns of moisture over
wide areas in the form of rain, snow,
and hail. Spring sowings have been
seriously retarded in some countries
and are now much in arrears.
Autumn-sow cereals, however, are
generally reported fair to excellent
in condition, and the prospects for
these important crops seem thus far
to show few serious effects from con-
ditions which theoretically would be
deemed harmful The season has
opened under less satisfactory auspices
than usual, and a prodigal period OF
favorable weather is necessary to over.
come delays already incurred.
Everything indicates that the Amer
ican farmer will enjoy a good Euro
pean market for the surplus of thu

HIGH LIVING EXPENSES.

The increasing cost of living is one
of the vital problems that confronts
the people of this country every day
| The trusts and combinations have Sc
cured monopolies of production and
distribution, and the people are forced
to pay tribute to this System" until
they are almost at the limit of their
paying capacity.
Notwithstanding the low prices OF
farm produce, livestock and other sta
pie productions, the prices of pro-
visions and meat continue to soar in
nearly every portion of the country.
Where will the greed of the trusts
stop. When will the advance In liv-
ing expenses end?
The Spokesman Review expresses
the sentiment of the common man on
this vital subject in the following edi-
torial on living expenses:
For many months the country has
heard of investigations and proceed
ings against the meat trust, and yet
nothing has been accomplished to-
ward the relief of the consumer. on
the contrary, as was known to house
keepers as well as restaurant men,
prices have been soaring upward 1ntil
they have reached almost prohibStive
figures.
The average individual has litnIe
concern in any technicar discussion Of
alleged cause and effect such as
might be had from those who manip-
ulate prices. He knows that the
ranges are covered with cattle and
sheep and that they came through
the past winter without loss and in
good condition.
He cannot understand, therefore,
why prices should advance, unless it
be through the determination of the
trust to make the biggest possible
profits out of necessary commodities.
There is little satisfaction in the
knowledge that the trust is being in
vestigated. What is demanded is
that there shall be results, for the
meat problem has assumed critical
proportions for the man of ordinary
means
