TIME. THE TEACHER.

(By Alfred Austin, Poet Laureate of
England.)
1 wrote my name upon the sands of
time,
Deeming that it would there remain
for aye,
When 10! there came a rush of spray
and slime,
And with a crush swept the vain
words away.
Then l engraved it on the granite
rock,
Assured that there it ever would
abide;
But breaker after breaker, flock on
flock
OF waves unsheperded, vociferous
tide,
Broke on the beach, and thunder
struck the air,
Then backward ebbed. But when
l gazed around
Through tattered hollows of subsiding
sound
To find my name, not even the
rock was there.
Thus humbled, l rejoiced that l
should be
Merged in the incommensurable sea.
Swinford Old Manor,
Kent, England.

a law that will prevent aliens from
owning lands within that state, He
also explains that the existing agree
ment between Japan and this nation
does not grant Japanese citizens the
right to lease agricultural land in
America. In view of this California
seemingly may proceed to bar Jap
anese from either owning or leasing
farming lands within that state. Such
action on the part Of California and
other western states would materially
help in holding back the wave Of
orientalism that menaces the west.
The subjects of Japanese exclusion
and that pertaining to the education
OF Japanese in American schools, the
president wishes Californians to
leave alone, The national admins
uauon is handling them, so he de-
clares. Under the agreement with
Japan the mikado himself will re-
strict japanese from coming to this
country.
But can the emperor keep his sub
jects from migrating to America?
Doubtless he can restrain those who
are in Japan from coming direct to
the United States. But can he prevent
them from coming to Canada or to
Mexico and then into this country?
Then. again, will the Japanese gov
ernment carry out its agreement in
good faith? Such diplomatic under
standings are not always rigidly OBJ
served and the japanese especially
have reputation for wariness.
1t is but right that the Californians
should respect the wishes of the ad-
ministration, to a great extent at
least. in the matter of anti-Japanese
legislation. But at the same time
the administration should remember
that the people of the west are fac
ing a serious problem. Californians
do not want anything like japanese
Industrial domination. They want
the west for Americans and others OF
the Caucasian race. They do not want
race problem now or in the fu-
ture.

IMPROVE THE PORTAGE.

Evidently the local morning paper
is completely within the clutch of
those who are fighting the appropria-
ton for the extension of the portage
road to The Dalles. Why that paper
should take a stand so clearly antag-
,onisuc to the interests Of the inland
empire seems very peculiar.
In qubbling way the Tribune is
still objecting to the portage extern
sion bill 1t processes not to under
stand the merits of the bill, but it is
loaded down with stock arguments
against the improvement. 1t is evil
IDENTITY travelling with local railroad
lobbyists rather than with the men
who are striving to get better freight
rates for this and other counties of
eastern Oregon.
That the extension of the portage
road from Big Eddy to The Dalles will
be of benefit to this country any
child may see. The extension will put
the portage road into such shape
that it can really be used. The road
has been OF benefit as it is. But for
the reasons that have been shown be-
fore it would furnish far better ser
vice if the road extended into The
Dalles.
Through water competition may
rate reductions be most effectively Sc
cured. That this is true may be seen
by a glance at the difference in the
rates prevailing below and above The
Dalles. From Portland to The Dalles,
IS miles, the ton rate upon sugar is
81. To Umatilla it is 5000 and the
Pendleton rate IS s13. The rate on
salt from Portland to The Dalles is
$3.50; to Pendleton $3.50. The rate
on wire from Portland TO The Dalles
Is $Zt 10 Geuultloil il u 60 Inc ioS-
on grain bags from Portland to The
Dalles is 81; to Pendleton it is $3.50.
on baled wool the rate from Port
land to The Dalles is $3.50; to Pen
dleton it is s144O.
True, we cannot have real water
competition until the canal at Cello.
is completed But in the meantime
the next best thing should be done
the portage road should be made as
efficient as possible The extension
Of the portage from Big Eddy to The
Dalles will unquestionably increase
the roads usefulness. A good port

that are quietly opposing it and re-

THE ICONOCLASTS.

So Cleopatra, PASSIONS queen,
OF reputation something shady
Was cold and dull, discreet and mean,
And acted like a perfect lady.
And Helen, she who leveled Troy.
Was not what you would call good
looking;
Her suitors battled for the joy
OF getting Helen's wondrous cook
ing.
And then, there's Mary, Queen OF
Scots
A name with color fairly glowing
About whom bard5 have written lots
In honor of her fancy sewing.
And Pocahontas caught John Smith
And wed according to this wishes
He was infatuated with
Her graceful way of washing dish
es.
Too bad to shatter thus romance
And kill these legends so delecta-
BILE;
For Pegosus will seldom prance
Around the undoubtedly respect
able. -Wex Jones.

THE RANKEST YET.

Brilliant indeed was the action OF
the house yesterday in voting, by a
majority Of one, to make it misde-
meanor for a legislative candidate to
pledge his vote upon the senatoship.
The bill is intended to stop the direct
election of senator's in this state.
Should the Brooke-Bean bill be-
come a law legislative candidates will
be barred from making pledges to
the public. But they will not be bar
red from making secret pledges, or
agreements with political bosses and
senatorial candidates. These mystic
understandings can never be pre-
vented by law, though they are pre-
cisely what should be tabooed. The
only way to stop them is by requir-
ing legislative candidates to pledge
themselves to the public.
It is astonishing that the house
should have passed the Brooke-Bean
bill. 1t is the rankest piece of ma
chine legislation that has been pro-
posed this session. The bill can never
become a law. Should it get through
the legislature over the governors
veto the referendum will be invoked
and the people will soak the bill so
hard that it's authors heads will. ache
for months.

Some women who neglect their homes
and families for club work, object very
seriously to the statement, that "wo-
mans place is in her home. Well, what
sort of a wife and mother is she II she
has no place there? This is not saying
she shall not attend to any outside mat
tiers. but we do hold that her first duty
is to look after her home. Any neglect
of necessary supervision there, for the
sake Of the club, is wrong, and the same
strictness of judgment applies to the
husband. He is the bread winner. Any
neglect of his business for outside duties
or pleasure, whereby the business and
the family suffer is wrong. The Judg-
ment of society IN this respect falls
heavier on the husband than on the wife.
No young man is held justified IN
marrying who has not business ability
sufficient to support a wife and home.
But thousands of young women marry
whose mothers have reared them to be
totally unfit to conserve and administer
a home, and so, she becomes an apology
for a wife, a waster Of her husband S
substance, destroyer, not builder OF
home The Judgments of society are,
in the main, correct on these questions.
But to say that the wife is held to any
stricter standard as a home-maker than
the husband is as a home-winner is not
true. Men expect no indulgent criticism
if they fail to provide for the home.
Hard necessity is the ruler with them.
A man must attend to his business.
Is it unjust to say a wife must attend &c
her home Is it unfair to woman to say
that every mother should bring up hen
daughter to be skillful in all household
duties The home is yet the soul anc
center of society and we hope it ever
will be.

Aid the President.

Chicago Tribune.
President Taft will labor with the
conference committee to get a tariff
bill which he can sign without being
accused of falsity to the promises of a
downward revision which he made be-
fore and since the election. His un-
aided efforts may suffice, but he should
have help. The members of the com
mittee with whom he will have to deal
are of the stand pat" faith. When a
battle is waged over tariff revision the
banner under which they fight always
bears the unpleasant device, excel
sior. ="
If the recommendations of the COM
mittee shall not come up TO the presi-
dents legitimite desires, then will be
the time for Republican members of
the house, who have learned since they
went to Washington last March that
their constituents are not "standpat-
tiers" and do not wish them to be, to
hold up Mr.. Taft's hands They can
do it by voting against concurrence in
the committees report. The states
whose senators voted against the Al
drich bill should provide enough repre-
sentatives to reject the work of the
conference committee if it should not
meet the presidents approval.
Representative Mann has given no
tice that il the house conference shall
recommend that it accept the higher
duty on print paper of the senate bill,
he will vote against concurrence. The
more notices of this kind there are, the
more amenable to reason will the con
ference committee be- Representa-
tives from the middle west would
please their constituents if they would
announce that they will not accept,
under any conditions, the higher duties
on lumber of the senate bill, Repre-
sentatives who gave notice that they
meant to vote against the report of the
committee if it recommended that the
house consent to the retention of the
duty ON hides would make hit with
their constituents, who believe free
hides would mean cheaper shoes.
Now is the time for representatives
who have been home, or have heard
from home since tariff legislation be-
gan to take shape, and who know the |
resentful feeling which prevails there, |
to let it be understood that they intend |
to do all they can at this late stage of |
the game for the consumers. 1t is said |
