ed by the rich society folk and she
began by snubbing those who prac-
tice those vices.
The rich who have had access to all
the exclusive affairs for years are
shocked beyond expression at the
snub but the little Quackeress still
pursues her reform program and is
inviting to her parties the pure, prac-
teal, sensible wives of men of moder-
ate means and in the common walks
of life-the really useful women OF
Philadelphia, and by her unique pro-
gram has stirred up all the buzzing
bumblebees of the alleged social
world.
The little Quakeress had a reason
and she does not mince words when
she gives 1t to the public. She says
that the majority Of the rich in
eastern society tolerate all the vices
and practice most of them; they
drink to excess; they gamble. they
smoke; they carouse late at night;
they wink at questionable actions;
they are unfalthful to every written
and unwritten code of morals; they
ape the tough manners Of the Bow
cry; they look down upon honest
merit, If it does not possess wealth;
in fact, they are building up an aris-
tocracy which is rotten as hades at
heart and are seeking through this
rotten aristocracy to dominate social
life, politics, religion, education and
government.
SO the little Quakeress is opposed
and we'll may she be.
1t is a reform long delayed.
Let us cheer her on!

ROOSEVELTS SUCCESSOR.

The Milwaukee Free Press strikes
keynote in the question of selecting
a successor to Theodore Roosevelt.
The people want Roosevelt to run
again because he stands for a princi-
pie. but if he will not run then the
people want some other man who
stands for the same principle and
carry 1t into execution in every de-
partment of the government.
The Free Press says:
Roosevelt has been right on the big
questions. The people cared more to
have him right on the control of rail-
roads, and the punishment of Offend
ers against the laws of the country
even though they were rich men,
than they did whether he was right
or not in what he claimed to know
of the habits of wild animals.
They like him because he is fight
er They like him because he is hon.
est, and because he has a purpose.
They like him because, thinking he is
right, he dare maintain. And they
like him, to a degree, for the enemies
he has made.
When they come to choose his sue
.cessor-for we cling to the good old
idea that the people do choose his
successbr-what are they going to
do? What kind of man are they go
ing to select?
Leaving it to the people who will
have to elect the man who is to move
into the White House a year from
next spring they would be sure to
pick a man who is as much like their
popular president as they could find;
fighter, a man who is honest,
man who will do things, who will
be president Of the eighty millions as
well as president of the eight; who
will use his great influence for better
government; who never forgets that
this is a government by the people,
and for the people. and that it must
so remain.
Such qualities do not suggest many
different men; and there are differ
ent degrees in which the men sug-
gested by them possess them. The
one man who best represents the
character Of the present president
and his purposes, and his fearless
ness to do what is right, and his de-
votion to the ideal that ours is
government by he people is Senator
Robert NJ. LaFollette.

FADED DREAMS.

want to be a gypsy, in the SPRING
time;
I want to be a rover in July.
But Deoember's winds have racked
me, and those things now don't
attract me
I just want to be a quiet little guy.
In a nice steam-heated dwelling in
the city,
With carriage to conduct me to
my toll.
Which should last from 10 to and
corral the revenue:
Yes, in winter, I'm an alien from
the soil.
1 want to be a farmer in the May
time;
l want to be a vintner in the fall,
But l wake from such ecstatic
dreams for reasons quite eli
matte
My ears no longer hear the wild
woods call.
For me the simple joys of town exist
ence
Some twenty minutes from the
public square,
Lost ideals! Iwished. in June, were
tramp, or picaroon-
Now, 1 only want to be a million
airel

RECORD OF A BLIND MAN.

George Rex Clark, blind from
birth. graduated from the University
OF Chicago yesterday with an A. B.
degree, after a college life full OF un-
usual experiences, says a Chicago dis
patch.
Like Helen Keller. he made mar
velous advancement in his studies and
found time also to take up telegraphy
and typewriting. He was also one Of
the most loyal rooters OF his class on
the football field. following the pro-
gress of the game by the shouts of
his classmates. He attended all the
campus dances and became one of
the most graceful dancers at the uni
versity.
1t required only four years for
Clark to receive the degree he sought.
He made his course in usual allotted
time. All his books were of the rails
ed letter kind. Many Of them were
not in print. and often he was forced
to wait until certain of his course
books as we'll as his textbooks could
be made to order.

MOST INACCESSIBLE PLACE.

There are few places in the world
so difficult to get at as Kashgaria,
Gays a magazine writer. Though 1t
lies in Chinese territory, the journey
from Peking occupies no less than
two months. From India caravans
take two months, having to cross
meanwhile the three highest noun
tain ranges in the world by way of
several passes measuring $4,000 feet
above sea level. Then from the tail
end of the Russian railway system in
central Asia one may reach Kasha-
garia in three weeks by several
routes, all involving the transit of
difficult and storm-swept passes.
Kashgaria is said to cover an area
of $4,000 square miles-a statement
that has little interest until consd-
cred in relation to the proportion
which is cultivated by man. 1t Is
startling to realize that human endea-
vor has been capable OF rendering
fertile little more than a hundredth
part and that 99-100ths of it Is ire
deemable desert

While the east is covered with snow
and sleet the people of Umatilla
county are enjoying spring weather
The only semblance OF snow here at
this Christmas time is the make-be-
lieve snow in the store windows.
People are so accustomed to the real
thing here that this mimic snow
made from cotton and frosting is
first-class attraction. Hundreds of
people have really enjoyed the sight
OF these cotton snow flakes during
the past few days. A sight OF the
real article would be refreshing.

HELPING POOR STUDENTS.


II the people of Oregon really
knew what the state university is
doing for the education of the youth
Of the state there would be but few
votes against the university appropri-
alton next June.
One of the latest efforts made by
the university has been to provide a
loan fund" from which students un-
able to pay their way through the
institution may borrow sufficient
funds to complete the course.
This money is to be repaid by de-
grees after the student enters active
business life when the education is
completed.
Many poor student will be bene-
fitted by this fund Many a boy and
girl will be enabled to secure a COW
eted education which might have
been denied them, otherwise.
And while they are acquiring an
education they are also learning the
lesson OF responsibility. They are
learning to husband their resources,
make preparations to repay the uni
versity the funds by which they were
enabled to secure an education.
How many taxpayers are going to
cripple this institution when it is
known that it cherishes and puts in
to practice such ideals?

THE QUAKER wIFE's REFORM

The wife Of the Quaker mayor Of
Philadelphia, Mrs. Reyburn, has
started one Of the most sensational
reforms ever to shake that slow
moving old city Of Brotherly Love
Qf you can pay the price for the
Brotherly Love.)
Mrs. Reyburn has started in to re-
form society, to clean up the Augean
stables for the alleged 400" Of Phil
adelphia. Her first master stroke
was to give series Of parties at
her palatial home which had always
been open to society, and in this
series Of parties she was careful to
omit every society" woman upon
whom rested the shadow Of suspic-
ion.
The mayors wife declared that she
would not tolerete the vices practic-

CIVICs IN SCHOOLS.

Winston Churchill, the New Hamp-
shire author and civic reformer,
urges earlier and more thorough-go-
ing instruction in our public schools
on the ethics of citizenship, patriot
ism and social service.
He is quite right. Japan and
France are far ahead Of us In utfliz-
ing the states mightiest agency to
create well informed and well inten-
toned citizens. We only dabble with
the problem as yet, or We leave 1t to
the atmosphere" OF the school, or
we rest content with salutatlon Of the
symbol and with instruction In the
details of governmental structure and
with political history and fail to util-
lie biography, and definite truth
based on personal, national and racial
observation-disclosures Herald.

Too much food and impure food
are the causes of half the ailments

to be considered after Christmas.
