woman is charged with having lost the
God given desire to become a wife and
mother. Various reasons are assigned
for this, but have not seen what l
believe to be the greatest cause of this
loss. Is it not because our nature has
refused TO protect the home that the
American woman refuses to become a
wife and mother She has wept,
prayed and petitioned our state and
national governments TO throw around
the homes of this country some pro-
lection from the greatest curse this
world has ever known. But instead OF
granting her request this land of the
free and home of the brave" has gone
into partnership with the home de-
stroyer so the only reply weeping, Pc

1t is not because woman loves
poodle dog more than baby that she
chooses the dog, but if she pays the
tax and puts collar on her dog she is
protected by the law from the dog
slayer. But tell me, if you can, how a
mother can protect her boy7 She
went down to the gates OF death to
give him birth. She counts this as
naught for the JOY that a man child is
born. She watches over him, sleeping
and waking, warns him of the dangers
OF the intoxicating cup, but it availeth
not. Ere the blush of youth has left
his cheek she sees him offered sacri
nee on the altar Of mis- nations greed.

The Republican party, in spite of
its following of false and Populistic
gods in the state politics Of Oregon,
proved Unexpectedly loyal to its
accepted principles in the recent
National test, as is testified by the
strong plurality given to Taft in the
presidential election last week. The
National struggle is ended, however,
and now the state politics, for a
moment showed into oblivion by a
larger and more compelling interest,
are coming again to the front with
abundant promises OF struggle
beside whose seriousness the one lust
past will pale into insigniiicance.
And the question uppermost now is
whether or not the Republican party
will continue as staunch as it proved
itself In the question Of National
interest, or will return again to its
wallowing In Populistic mirc

The DEMONSTRATION TRAIN.

The Southern Pacific Demonstration
Train that passed through Dallas,
Friday, will prove an invaluable infu-
ence for development in all lines OF
agricultural pursuitin the Willamette
Valley, not that it enables the farmers
who visit it to grasp fully, in the brief
time in which they are privileged to
inspect the exhibits and converse with
the demonstrators, even the rudiments
of the vast subjects with which it
deals, but because it serves the pur-
pose Of an eye opener, a suggester,
forecaster of possibilities aud proba-
bilities. The farmer, horticulturist,
or dairy farmer who goes through the
demonstration train and examines its
magnificent exhibits, comes away
with his mind full Of jumbled mass
of undigested IDEAS probably none of
which are of any immediate value
or benefit to him. Under this
maze Of mingled fragments OF
plans and and suggestions, runs
strong, definite central thought how
ever, the thought that these exhibits
have portrayed not actualities but
possibilities, that they give a picture
of the agricultural industry Of the
Willamette Valley, not as it is, but as
it can be made by careful, up-to-date
and intelligent methods Of farming.
And with the awakening Of this CEN
trail idea, comes the decision to study
the advanced methods of farming and
to make strong and intelligent
effort to realize the possibilities that
were only hinted at in the elementary
lessons learned on the demonstration
train. This is one OF the purposes,
the principal purpose, for which the
train is run and it is undoubtedly
its end. During the next
five years we may look for enormous
strides in the agricultural develop
ment of the Willamette Valley as a
direct result of the labOrs of those who
planned and prepared the train and
it on its eight day tour Of
the Valley.

Master of Song Coming,

The announcement that Otto f. L
Herse, the we'll known tenor, is tc
visit here Thursday, November 70, will
arouse a great deal Of enthusiasm
among the public. Recent criticisms
OF Mr.. Herse's singing seem to unite
at the point of his ever increasing
excellence. For sheer beauty of voice
he surpasses almost every tenor ever
heard on the coast. Mr.. Herse's
phrasing is a thing to give the listener
Joy without stint. His command of
shading and coloring is adequate for
every least and greatest call upon it.
Some OF the single tones will remain
IN the memory always, for he has
every shade of color on his palette,
and master artists skill in using
each. Hewill be heard here in English,
German, Scotch and Irish songs. The
Increasing popularity of this singer
all over the country insures an enioy-
able evenings entertainment. Thous-
and have greeted him everywhere and
have been charmed by the marvellous
sweetness OF his voice. AS a general
rule, great singers hold themselves to
the very large cities, but Mr. Herse
has placed on his travelling route
many of the smaller towns.
