But that was not the only inning they

Although seven OF the champions fan

first inning, and this move practically
gave Chicago the championship.
Pfeister started off very badly, and
showed the plainest signs of going up
before three men had faced him. But
when Brown took up the firing duties
the Cubs settled down to real work,
and from that time on there was no
doubt in what would be the final end OF
the battle.

long green on the Giants chances 70

There was no stopping the Cubs in
that inning, as a single, two doubles, q

.PORTUGAL'S THEATRICALS.

Like a burnt out crater, the royalty
of Portugal flares up in a feeble
flame, sputters for a moment then
sinks back into the silence of slow
disintegration. For 500 years the
house of Braganza has reigned in that
little country of but $4,000 square
miles, little more than a third of
the size of Oregon, and every year
brings it nearer. to the inevitable
doom of royalty-dry rot.
. The murder of King Carlos and his
son Louis Philippe, is but one of a
long series of tragedies enacted in
Portugal since King John founded
the house of Braganza in 400. Love
and war, Jealousy, hatred and intrigue
have played major parts in the tedi-
Gus and bloody drama.
From the leading nation of south
ern Europe at one time with colonies
all over the world. Portugal has
slowly dwindled to one of the small
est and most inexcusable monarchies
of the world. The murder of a king
is now only an incident. The surface
is ruffled for a moment and then
the oppressed people sink into hope
less inactivity again, waiting the end.

STIRRING UP THE ANIMALS.

The presidents special message
seems to have thrown the corpora
ton press and professional apologists
into a paroxysm OF rage. Chancellor
Day, of Syracuse university-always
first into the lists in defense of the
Standard Oil interests, hurls his lance
at Roosevelt with renewed fury.
President Ripley gets into print
with the retort discourteous, having
apparently overlooked the precaution
of muzzling the other spokesman for
his railroad.
From other sources come counter
charges against the PRESIDENT he is
imperious, impetuous, unreasonable,
and dogmatic, we are told. Yet 1t is
worth noting that democrats and re-
publicans Joined in applauding the
document read in the house Of rep
resentative recently. There are no
party lines where true patriotism re-
spends to determined and fearless
leadership in the crusade against cor
porate inquiry.
Even Bryan deemed it expedient to
commend the president and, apart
from his effort to use the message as
an argument for the condemnation
of republican rule" he speaks man
fully in support of Roosevelt's atti-
tude.
Immersed in the delusive atmos-
phere of the senate, the corporation
agents in the upper house may fancy
that the nation is not with Roosevelt,
but there will come. a day of reck-
oning for every man, who elected
upon his pledge to support the presi-
dent, evades his duty and lies down
like a steer in the road"

"CRANkS" IN OREGON.

The Washington Post which poses
as a guide board for the people in
political matters says that under the
initiative and referendum principle
in Oregon, "cranks flourish like a
green bay tree" and that this hodge
podge Of freakish and crooked legis-
lation proposed by these undesirable
classes is placed before the voters for
their off-hand decision"
Then the voters of oregon who
have chosen to make their own laws,
when necessary and best for the pub
lie good. must wear the odious title
Of "cranks." People who choose to
think for themselves have always been
called cranks and revolutlonists, by
the powers which seek special favors
through corrupt legislation and pur-
chasable officials.
Every man who has stepped for
ward into the open in political pro-
gress has been dominated "a crank
or an idiot by the mossback fogies
who profit by corruption and trick
cry. Every man who has ever dared
TO say that the masses have minds
as well as the classes has been called
an agitator
But thanks to the ultimate good
sense of mankind, the world comes
70 adopt the principles Of the 'cranks"
sooner or later, and the old fogies,
although holding out for their money
bags and political cinch, are forced
by a sane and wholesome public SEN
timent to get into the band wagon,
after awhile, as the record in. Ore
gon bears witness.
Give US more of the Oregon brand
Of "cranks." Give US more thinking
voters. Give US more honest offic-
ials, more fair and square deals in
public service. The cranks have
made Oregon what she is, the most
advanced and progressive state in the
Union from political standpoint.

"The Dominion government has

mately $4,OOO,0OO to the farmers OF
the new provinces OF Alberta and
Saskatchewan whose crops were a
failure, to purchase seed grain"
With everything favorable in the
new district mentioned, good crops OF
wheat can be grown, but when the
season is unfavorable, as 1t was last
year, the resulting failure Is so much
worse than any failure Of which the
Oregon and Washington farmer has

VALUE OF SPANISH.

Few students realize the growing
demand on the part of the government
for college trained men in our insular
possessions and in the canal zone. In
all these familiarity with the Spanish
language is a prerequisite. In addi-
tion, our commercial relations in the
South American field are becoming
increasingly important. While Ger
man and French still remain the Ian

tiflc textbooks the Spanish is COM
ing to have the greatest practical

SCIENCE AND THE DESERT.

Old Science one day was walking
round
With thoughtful brow and mien
profound,
When he came to the place where
the desert lies,
Gray in the CLINT of the turquoise
skies;
And the desert was parched, and the
desert was dry,
For the scurrying clouds e'er passed
1t by.
Then science, the merciful, bade it
drink
Now what'll you take?' he said and
think
The desert murmured Water"
Then Science, the merciful, waters
stored
A shimmering. glimmering, glisten-
ing hoard,
He took from the streams where they
kiss the land,
And held their wealth in his giant
hand
In canyons lost in the mountain fold
He bound the waters of wealth un-
told,
Bound them, stored them, and held
their cheer
For the great wide world as it swing
eth here
And gave to the desert Water.
oh, the fruitage rare that the desert
knows!
The wilderness blossoming as the
rose
The million homes where the cacti
grew,
And the sheen of green meath the
turquoise blue!
The scented blossoms, the bloom Of
peachl
And the lessons, the lesson, it aye
doth teach,
That the desolate places may still re-
joice
And the gray-turned green, life a
grateful voice.
If we give the desert Water.
