All, indeed they are legioni
The wishes we cherish to-day.
Not to the worthy Doctor
May we tell them-sadly We say
But 70 each other thoughtfully
On this memorial day.
We wish for the steadfast purpose
To find the beauty beneath
What IL dull and hard and common,
As the rock which hides the gem,
That by patient care and labor
May yet grace diadem.
We wish for q love as tender,
As heartfelt and pure as bis,
For friend, Cor neighb0r and hearthstone,
Love unchanging-thats shall last
Though the loved ones may have passed
To fairer world than this.
A love that cares for the needy,
The sad and the toil.worn one,
That thinks of the children's pleasures,
Their need, when the dav is done
And the evening lamp Is lighted
The lighthouse of the home.
We wish on this high, fair hilltop,
Where the golden sunlight plays,
To guard the treasures he left us,
To cause them In many ways
To bless and broaden and brighten
The lives and homes In this place.
We wish for a wider outlook
On the world which surrounds rs,
Its needs, dangers. Its triumphs,
II each one feels and values
High aims, good work, steady purpose,
And scorns inglorious ease.
All, yes! We will be gem. seekers,
Seekers for truth and the right,
Lovers of home and of country,
Helping to kindle the light,
The hope and the faith, which surely
VIII make the whole wide world bright.

CHANGE OF TRAIN SCHEDULE.
Plan to Give the Clearwater Country
More Efficient Service.
Get the Habit
It's all for your benefit.

The traffic department of the
Northern Pacific at Spokane is now
working on a new schedule for the
operation of trains on the Clearwa-
ter branch, the Palouse branch and
the Culdesac extension.
1t is understood the plans for
changing the Clearwater timecard
provide for starting the train from
Lewiston in the morning and return
ing to the city about 4 o'clock in the
afternoon. 1t is expected new train
will be placed in service on the Gull
desac line, affording first-class
passenger service with one of the
trains.
The changes on the Palouse line
have not been determined, but 1t is
understood the changes being con-
sidered are the departure of the
trains from both terminals at an
earlier hour.

Though it may seem strange at
the present time, no city of the
country has entertained so many ma
tional political conventions as BaItf-
more. In 1882 the first national con-
yentions were held by American poll
itical parties, and 1t is a striking
proof of the central location of Bal
timore at that time that the threa
conventions of that year were held
in that city. The last convention
held in Baltimore was in 1872, when
the democrats met there and nom
mated Horace Greedy. 81

America Behind Europe7

One section of Professor Commons
report Is very misleading. He says:
Neither municipal ownership nor
private ownership has accomplished
the good results in the United States
that should be expected of 1t, and both
are far behind what both have accom-
plished in Great Britain. We are
in precisely the same position that Brit
ish municipalities occupied forty years
ago in the gas business and fifteen
to thirty years ago in the street car
and electricity business"
The utter absurdity of this statement
is shown by the fact that in 1904, the
last year for which statistics are avail
able there were in the United States
3O,1S7 miles of street railways against
2117 in the United Kingdom, although
the population OF the latter country
was then more than half that Of the
United States. 1t is a we'll recognized
fact that in the application Of electric
ity to lighting and power the United
States not only leads the world, but
nearly equals all the rest Of the world
