 Political leaders of both parties eoncede that this group of eight states in the great middle west, with a total of 121 votes in the electoral college, will hold the balance of power in the national cleo tion this year. The total of the electoral votes that are now classed as safely den- ocratic without regard to the merits of the candidates of either party is 16S, and PAP are necessary to a choice As already pointed out New York, New Jersey, Con necticut, Oklahoma and Delaware cannot supply the additional "A votes necessary to choice. Should all the states named in this group, as well as the solid south and the border states, go democratic, six votes would be required to decide the re- suit of the national election. Nebraska, with eight electoral votes, could decide the result. MT. William Jennings Bryan lives in the state of Nebraska.

DID TEDDY KISS HER?

Julia Dit Young sends to the
Tribune advance sheets of a poem
on Roosevelt which will be perpetrat-
ed in book form May 16, says the
Lewiston Tribune. She says: "Mr.
Roosevelt having declined, doubtless
IN fear of ridicule, to sanction the
publication of 'Barham Beach, the
Presidents Poem the author, in
justice to herself and to American
literature, now appeals to the Ameri-
can press to aid in bringing the work
to the notice OF the people" The Tri-
bune will do its modest part in bring
ing the work to the attention of fame
in the following quotation:
80 Theodore impetuous kissed her
lips,
Not as the tickle bee the gentian sips
A careless space, then to the aster
slips,
But as one kisses who in vain hath
sought
For half a life the idol of his thought
And hath to her unwasted passion
brought" ETC., etc.
The heroine not being specified, 1t
is not wholly impossible that Mr..
Roosevelt's delicacy in avoiding too
much publicity over the episode is
not due so much to the fear of ridi-
cule as to an old-fashioned rolling
pin in the hands of Mrs. T. r.

Into the vision that the masters

There seemed no beauty that the ut

But one whose soul all white-stoled

Spake what God willed:
Here in this temple raised to hea-

We build Door of Bread"

Have blessed that gracious dole,
Received the loaf and gracefully de-

With fair shr'nes for the dead,
And heavenly music each pure passion

Have we no Door of Bread?

GOLD.

Gold! gold! gold! gold!
Bright and yellow, hard and cold,
Molten, craven, hammered and rolled;
Heavy get and light to hold;
Hoarded, bartered, bought and sold,
stolen, borrowed, squandered, doled'
Spurned by the young, but hugged
by the old
To the very verge of the churchyard
mould;
Price of many a crime untold;
Gold! gold! gold! gold!
Good or bad a thousandfold!
How widely its agencies vary
To save--to ruin-to curse-to bless
AS even it's minted coins express.
Now stamped with the image Of good
Queen Bess,
And now of a bloody Mary.

PEOPLE ARE DISAPPOINTED.

The mass Of the voters of Oregon
are really disappointed and chagrin-
ed. to think that a number of polite
ians are attempting this year to over
throw all the advanced legislation
which has been adopted by Oregon in
the past few years.
There is a concerted movement to
destroy the primary law and the pop
ular election of United States sena-
tors. is apparent Every movement,
every expression from a certain class
of politicians, gives evidence of this.
They are not acting squarely; they
are dealing in secret; they are deceiv-
ing the people; they are attempting
TO foist upon the state the old-time
corruption and disgrace of former
legislative sessions and senatorial
elections.
In a republican state which gave
Theodore Roosevelt $4,000 plurality
there is no doubt about the election
of a republican United states senator.
The politicians, although having the
interest Of the party at heart, should
make complete and unconditional
surrender TO the people. They should
trust the people implicitly and then
set about to make the republican
party invlncible by making its prin-
ciples progressive and placing clean,
incorruptible men in office.

THE AWAKENING.

Like twittering birds on the swing
ing boughs of spring, the commercial
associations and cities of Oregon are
awakening to the years work. All
over the state is heard the early greet
ing. In every city and in every
thrifty country district, is heard the
cheerful minstrelsy of the awakening
spring.
There is poetry in boosting If you
look at boosting in the right light.
There is an elevating and inspiring
phase to industrial development, II
men could but see that side of the
question. While making mdney it is
possible to be cheerful buoyant and
optimistic. 1t is possible to clothe

pie chorus of Oregon's worth and
beauty.

New land is being reclaimed, new in

THE SOUND OF THE SEA.

The sea awoke at midnight from its
sleep,
And round the pebbly beaches far
and wide
1 heard the first wave of the rising
tide
Rush onward with uninterrupted
sweep;
A voice out of the silence of the deep,
A sound mysteriously multiplied
AS of a cataract from the noun
tain's side,
Or roar of winds upon wooded
steep.
So comes to us at times, from the un-
known
And inaccessible solitudes of be-
ing.
The hushing of the sea-tides of the
soul;
And inspirations, that we deem our
own,
Are some divine foreshadowing and
foreseeing
OF things beyond our reason or con-
troll. -Longfellow.

THE COLD WORLD.

A cold world, but a good world, and
the best old world we We GOT
So, laugh and be contented, and be
happy with your lot!
A cold world, but a bold world, when
the heart is beating right,
When the hands have done their
duty,
And the eyes find hidden beauty
In the sweet and simple valleys and
the hills that lead to light!
A cold world, but a gold world, and
the best old world we know,
So, deck the lips with laughter ano
forget about your woe!
A cold world, but .R whole world OF
blessings in Disguise,
When We take its paths of cleaning
To the golden shores of dreaming.
The violets in the meadows and the
sunshine in the skies!

UNJUST To FULTON.

The railroad interests in congress
have succeeded in smothering Sena-
tor Fultons bill requiring a railroad
company to give ample notice of an
advance in freight rates before put
ting the rate into effect, in order to
give shippers an opportun ty to pro-
test and make a showing as to pos
sible injustices in the proposed rate.
Senator Fulton introduced this bill
in the senate on December 4 and has
been urging a hearing upon it con-
stantly since that time, but has been
put off on various excuses. Finally
the senate committee on interstate
commerce dec ded not to report on
the bill and Senator Fulton is justly
indignant.
This measure is highly important
and is a much needed protection for
shippers and that it should be smoth-
cred by the interests" in committee
is disgusting and unjust.
Heretofore it has been the practice
of railroads to advance rates without
notice to shippers as in the lumber
rate case, thereby working a rank in
justice on the industries Of the coun-
try. The Fulton bill sought to give
the Shipper warning. 1t sought to
give the industries of the country an
opportunity to prepare for advances
at least, and to protest if the advance
seemed unreasonable.

like any other ever sent to a govern

Grafton of the forests. In the petit

I'VE. the children of the Eureka
schools have been studying about our
redwood forests. and along with the
rest Of the people Of our country we
feel that representative groves of these
trees should be preserved for ourselves
and coming generations of children.
and we respectfully petition the United

ton toward establishing a national

The o. r. & n. company has some
excellent ideas on farming if it can
but put them into execution. 1t can
give excellent advice which If follow
ed would yield enormous returns to
farmers. But people are always shy
of theorists. Dreams have but little
fascination for hard-headed men who
have made their money by incessant
toll.
The o. R. & n. company can set an
example in advanced farm ng meth
DDS which cannot be gainsaid. 1t
can establish an experimental farm
and show the unbelieving wheat king
that its methods are right and prac-
tical and profitable.
The East Oregonian believes that
better than summer fallow trains and
experts and lecturers, would be a 160-
acre tract of land in the wheat belt
where the o. r. & n. company could
put into practice its pet theories OF
farming.
Let this be tried. Let the farm be
bought and placed under the direc-
ton of farming expert and let the
company do some practical work as
we'll as theorizing. The East Oregon
ian has faith in its modern methods
and would like to see. them demon
strated in a practical manner. Buy
a farm and begin, Mr.. Miller. We are

down The son of politician, he seemed to get his liking for the game by inheritance. But his education made him wish for gentlemanly politics as if such thing could be. Gentemanly and ward politics is the stuff with different labels that's all. From what I learned after, m sure if the Kids mother had been alive then he'd never gone wrong But there he acheing to ask somebody's advice and too suspicious to trust any body in politics, thinking all were crooks in which, of course he dead wrong-yes So he start ed in to do his duty as the old man saw it.
 As I was saying. his constituents were mostly dead swell bunch that lived according to the fash iCn. and just then it the fashion for them to make their sisters and aunts believe they the real things in politics. They had nothing but mass meetings that were like regular tea-parties, with the Gwendolines and Gladyses splitting their dain- ty gloves every time Archibald went to the bat to tell them how bad they were in general and how the country ought to be run. And they all stood pat for W Westmeath Pearsall, late of Flanna- san's sin mill
 When it came election day they always ab sent, as they couldn't make any money in their business on that day and went out of town the night before to hit those little balls over fields and ditches or to jump a couple fences and shout 'Iala-lee-ee' or some such nonsense. But they all registered faithfully, even if they thought it more important to be at the Country Club on election day instead of voting.
 The Kid next to this habit, and used it, but there were a few bitches.
 For instance: MT Hamilton De Rensallaer Wall Street banker residing on Fifth Avenue. was challenged by an opposite watcher, who thought Ham looked a little phony for a capitalist. When they took him to the staton-house, the capitalist was hitting everybody for 8 chew O tobacco and asking them to inform Barney Flynn, of the Bow cry, that his friend. Spike, in trouble.
 The thing worked all right otherwise, and the Kid carried the district.
 In day two those swells heard how they'd been voting Tn sweaters and overalls, and most O them laughed-Dut few O them got dead sore Before the Kid could get ahead O them and stall them, they were down to the district attorney and raising fine The Kid arrested and put under ten thousand bond. The bail was put up and we thought that'd close the game. But 1t was made an issue; they tried him before an unfriend- ly judge and the Kid was sentenced one year and a fine of thousand dollars
 There some talk of appeal but the evil dence was too clear. So, in the morning, the Kid went over to the Island
