RAILWAY EMPLOYEES.

There have been reports recently Of
a new and extensive organization of
railway employees with reference to
the election this fall, says the Oregon
Journal. 1t is said that the organiza-
ton has already become very numer-
Gus. and that it is expected that it will
soon embrace most of the railway en-
ployes of the country. Though there
is as yet no positive evidence to sup
port such a conclusion, it may be pref
ty safely assumed that this is a move
ment on the part of the railroad mo-
guls to deliver the votes of nearly all
their employees to Taft. No means of
influence, no specious promises, will be
spared, to accomplish this object.
1t is to be observed that for some
months past there have been threats of
general reduction of railroad en-
ployes' wages. This was presumably
part OF the game. NOW the employees
can be assured that if they agree to
vote right wages will not be reduced
| but that if Bryan should be elected re-
| duction of wages would be inevitable
Whether this sort of inducement and
pressure will accomplish the desired
object we cannot say, but probably il
| will, to some extent.

Undismayed.

He came up smilin'-used to say
He had hard luck a-plenty, too,
But settled down an fought hel
through,
An every time he got jolt
He jist took on a-tighter holt;
Slipped back some when he tried tt
climb,
But come up smilin every time.
He came up smilin'-used to git
His share o. knocks, but he had grit.
An if they hurt he didn't set
Around tn grocery store an fret;
He jist grabbed Fortune by tn hair,
An hung on till he got his share;
He had tn grit in him to stay
An come smilin every day.
He list gripped hard an all alone
Like a bull pup with a bone,
An II ne got SHOOK loose, WHY, llleH
He got up an grabbed holt again;
He didn't have no time, he'd say,
To bother about yesterday,
An when there was prize to win
He came up smilin' an pitched in.
He came up smilin'-good fer him!
He had tn grit an pluck an vim;
So he's on Easy street, an burned
IF T don't think his luck is earned!
No matter if he lost sometimes,
He's got tn stuff in him that climbs.
An when his chance was mighty slim

"The Little Prospector."

The title of this play is suggestive
Of it's character and composition. 1t is
essentially a western drama and deals
largely with the characteristic phases
of cosmopolitan life in the mining
camps Of the great west. The term COS
mopolitan is used advisedly, for prac-
tically every race Of human beings
is here represented, all attracted to one
common by the magnet of insatiate av-
arice. the great dominating passion
of the human heart, and all joining
with eager rivalry in the mad hunt for
gold. The many varied and startling
complications which unavoidab1y arise
in such a heterogeneous community are
faithfully interpreted by the fascinat-
ing little actress "Chic" Perkins and
a select company of players who will
be seen at the Keylor Grand theater
on August %.

The Dime.

At the Dime this week are to be seen
some of the cleverest pictures ever put
on motion films. The subjects are novel
and we'll developed and the films
themselves are clear and smooth. The
illustrated songs are no longer bore,
but with the baritone singer who now
sings in accompaniment with the
part of the show. The cool weather
has stimulated patronage and the house
is perfectly comfortable at all times.

attempt to build that tower at Bapel
which was to provide a thorough route.
with excellent service and no changes
to the domains Of heaven.
II seems that prior to this time, we
all talked without the necessity Ok
interpreters or the aid of such men as
Mr. Hollendorf. But there was mix
up among the construction gangs a'
work on that Babel tower. Just now
it occurred it is difficult to determine
Some would have us believe that II
wac brought about through Divine
agency as the only means of prevent
ing the success of the ambitious scheme
to make the attainment of heaven
merely a matter of winding stairways'
which might in the course of time,
it is fair to presume, have become syn
dictated by a trust and the price of
urSl-CldSS pdSSdSe iA|0u OO~
reach of the plebian purse. Mr.. KIP
ling however. who is prone to take
more matter of fact view of matters
of history. seems rather inclined to-
ward the belief that that famous con-
fusion of tongues grew out of discus
sion having to do with architectural
STYLES, for he says that leach man
talked of the aims of art, and each
man talked in an alien tongue" the
presumption following that each dis
putting faction invented technical
terms in elucidation of it's pet theory
of architecture. and invented them at
such a rapid fire rate that the other
factions, also engaged in a similar
task, could not keep up.
Be that as it may, however,
those quarrelling construction gangs
dropped the job of building the tenn
pie route to heaven and thereafter de-
voted themselves to building a lot OF
imperfect languages which were de-
signed to embarrass their descendants
for 10, these thousands of years.
in recent years these descendants
have come to recognize the horrible
blunder of the temple builders, and to
appreciate the advantages of a COM
mon tongue. Several efforts have been
made by scientists and cranks and
others to inf1ict an arbitrary language
upon the world. but for the most part
these efforts have died a-borning. The
exception to the general rule in this
matter, however has been with those
who invented the new talking medium
known as Esperanto. A million people
of more than two score of races, it is
said, have already mastered this
language and present indications
seem to be that it is growing at a rap
Id rate. Unless 1t should soon SuHef
reaction, it's growth will be much
more rapid in the future, and while il
will doubtless take more than a few
weeks for the other six or seven hun
dred million inhabitants of this globe
to become fluent in the new speech, the
day is apparently not far distant when
an education will not be considered
complete unless it includes a working
knowledge of the new speech.
The advantage of such a condition
of affairs is obvious, and therefor lei
us hope that Esperantists may multi
ply and spread their new medium Of
communication over the face of the
earth.

PROSPERITY BY INCUBATION.

Newspapers these days are filled with
the doingA of a prosperity congress,
which has been in session in New York
for the rast few days, and which, ac-
cording to it's advance notices, was to
relieve che country of the last veStige
OF the republican panic of last October.
As far as the ordinary student Of
history krows this is the first national
attempt TO bring about prosperity by
incubation. The scheme on a smaller
scale has been tried in countless towns
of the west. the story of whose blooms"
is written large in blasted hopes and
wrecked fortunes. and while there is
of course some dissimilarity between
precinct prosperity. as managed by en-
terprising real estate men, and the
broader attempt to infuse new life into
the channels of trade which is said
to be the object of the gathering of
travelling men now being held in New
York city, there is, of course, always
present the danger of false stimula-
ton.
The story goes, how true it is The
Statesman would not pretend to say,
that the creation of dollhouse pros
perity is a part of the republican plan
of campaign Out here in the golden
west, where crops don't fail and where
the industrious man can keep busy, We
weren't seriously affected by the re-
publican panic, but it now seems that
the fear that We would be so affected
operated, in a way, to keep us par
TALLY ignorant of the full force of what
we have referred to as the financial
stringency.
The dispatches, which, if you re-
member. had but little say about
men being laid off, are now filled with
the stories of men being put back tt
still more men back to work, while
now and then comes such story as
that printed yesterday about the in.
fiuence of lack of employment on do.
nestle felicity. All of which indi
Gates that industrial centers must have
been hit pretty hard by the panic. Fol
perforce, if no men were laid off, there
would today be no men to be put bacl
to work.
Thus it is that it is an i'll wind whicl
blows nobody good. Out here, witt
dollar wheat in sight, men are no
driven to the necessity of voting a
their stomachs dictate, but this doe
not prevent us from rejoicing that tn
scare given the Taft managers vii

Tomorrow will be the semi centen-
NAL of the sending of the first cable
message across the Atlantis, from
Queen Victoria to President Buchan-
an on August Is, 1858. 1t is also the
anniversary of the newspaper scare
head" since it was that momentous
event which led even the most con-
sentative of New York newspapers to
break forth into lurid announcements
of the wonderful news.
A perusal of the newspapers of that
day shows that New York was then
more capable of enthusiasm than now.
According to the public prints the
people Of the metropolis, wildly ex-
cited by the news that message had
actually been received over an ocean
cable 1850 statute miles long," could
scarcely restrain their joy at the per-
| Torrance of such a marvellous feat.
| All over the city factory whistles
shrieked, church bells rang and bon
fires were built to celebrate the ire
mendous event. There We're brilliant

recounts that certain famous hosiery

1000 lights The days celebration
wound up with a fire in the city hall,
W hich added to the excitement. There
was @ parade three miles long, in which
carts and drays took the place of floats.
Later a great official celebration
was held in Trinity church, followed
| by a dinner given by the common
council to Cyrus w. Field, the father of
the cable. And it was just at that
time that the cable ceased to work and
the rejoicing was turned to deepest
gloom.
But Cyrus Field, whom New York a
few years before had called an enthu-
siast and a dreamer, not to mention
CRAZY crank and similar terms, was
not discouraged After a subsequent
failure in 1865, the following year
found a new cable line working sue
cessfully. and since that time New
York has never been shut off from wire
communication with the Old World.

Don't Wait for the Fatal
Stages of Kidney Illness.
Profit by Wa Keeney Peo-
pies Experiences

Occasional attacks of backache,
irregular urination, headaches
and dizzy spells are common
early symptoms of kidney dis
orders. It's an error to neglect
these ills The attacks may pass
off for a time but return with
greater intensity. If there are
symptoms of dropsy = puffy
swelling below the eyes, bloating
of limbs and ankles, or any part
of the body, don't delay a min
ute. Begin taking Doan's Kid
ney Pills, and keep up the treat
ment until the kidneys are well
when your old time health and
vigor will return. Cures in Wa
Keeney prove the effectiveness
of this great kidney remedy.
w. r. Stranhan, of Wa-Keeney :,
Kan, says: For over a year
/ had a constant backache and
sharp pains would shoot through
my kidneys when / would stoop
or lift. During the night the
action of the kidney secretions
was entirely too frequent and
there was often a burning sensa-
ton in the passages. Doan's
Doan's Kidney pills, purchased
at w. w. Gibson's drug store,
cured me about two months ago
and have not had a particle of
trouble since They are. in my
estimation, the best kidney
remedy to be had"
