THE LITTLE STEPS.

The days are little steps we take
From joy transcended or from grief
supreme;
Slowly we go, yet surely, day by day.
Until at last these seem
(For all we would be faithfully vague
and faint,
AS some receding. half-remembered
dream.
The days are little steps that lead US
on,
To newer love or sorrow. Though
we guessed
That certain goal beyond the farth-
est dawn,
We may not haste nor rest
Till at the house Of Joy or pain we
stand,
And one comes forth to greet his
one nights guest.

Ainslee's.

ENORMOUS EMPRESS PROFITS.

The Spokesman-Re Review has the. fol-
lowing comment upon the profits of
express companies as shown by a
story in a current magazine:
The railroad, the palace car and
now the express company-to each
of these in turn the public is paying
its respects and wanting to know
why it should pay what seems eXtor-
tionate rates for service. There have
been many published statements the
last few years about the enormous
earnings of American and Canadian
express companies, but no systematic
survey of them as a whole. The
American Magazine, however, has
started to study the subject, and AL
bert w. Atwood has published an ar
ticle, the first of proposed series,
that bristles with figures and fresh
information. The alleged facts are
startling.
THE original capital stock of the
American Express company" the rail-
road commission of Indiana alleged,
probably was the price of valise
carried by Alvin Adams"
Practically the same statement
holds good for all the other companies.
But the Adams now has a capital
stock of $4,000, 900, the American of
SIS, 100000, and the Wells-Fargo Of
S24, 900.
The interstate commerce commits
sion has declared that Sin the very
nature of things this capital stock can
not have represented cash originally
Whence, then, came this capital?
out of the pockets of the public.
The companies capitalized their
earnings, and merchants and shippers
have frequently asserted that their
Issues of securities have merely been
devices to render feasible the exac-
ton of extortionate charges. These
common carriers have grown so grea!
| on selling transportation, bought
wholesale from the railroads and sold
retail to the public, that only egregi-
Gus dividends have reduced their fat.
The six largest companies make
SIPS, 900. 900 a year.
AS early as 1875, it is alleged, the
express business had made fifty mil
lionaires. The census bureau has
stated that "in no other business is II
probable that so little money COM
raratively, is invested where the gross
receipts are so large" The Hepburn
act of 1906 placed these companies
Iunder the authority of the interstate
commerce commission, but its expert
investigators have only now begun tc
be able to make the so-called reports
Of the companies Ineligible. There
is no interstate business that is 50
robed in darkness as this of express
lage and that so needs to be flooded
with light and reform for the SAKE
of the public.

STOP THE SCHOOL KILLING.

There is too much tinkering with
the educational institutions in Ore
gon and if it continues it will hurt
the state immensely. We have al
ready suffered the disgrace of hav-
ing our normal schools closed and
only few years ago it was necessary
for the university to go before the
people and fight to have its appro-
priation sustained. 1t is time to end
this anti-school agitation.
Yet there are schemes galore for
killing school appropriations and for
tearing some of the institutions up by
the roots. Cottage Grove people want
to refer the L. of o. appropriation
again and at McMinnville a meeting
was held to discuss the proposition
of referring not only the university
appropriation but also the aDpropri-
ations made for o. A. c. and the Mon
mouth normal school.
That this McMinnville move can be
intended seriously this paper is un-
willing TO believe. Circumstances do
not call for any s6ch action as pro-
posed down there. This state has
gone without normal schools for two
years and but one out Of the three
schools was provided for at the legis-
lative session. To hold up the appro-
priation given that school would be all
uncaIled for, as anyone may see.
1t would be equally foolish and in
furious to refer the o. A. c. oppropri-
alton. When the legislature was in
session President Kerr went before
the ways and means committee and
showed conclusively that the agri'
cultural college regents had cut theii
request to the very minimum. The
school is growing wonderfully anC
has nearly 1000 students at this time
Many large new buildings are needed
Yet the school this year did not ash
for money with which to erect {
single large new building. The ap
preparation provides money for
number of smaller buildings such a
greenhouses and a dairy building ant
for making other betterments tha
are absolutely demanded by tn
growth of the school The fact tina
the school made reasonable request
l.. shown by the fact that the origina
request was increased by the way
and means committee and the appro
priation passed both houses withou
opposition. Under the circumstance
Il would be next to criminal to blocl
the use of this money through invok
ing the referendum.
For the past few years the educa
tional institutions of Oregon hav
been continually harrassed by would
be school killers and by narrow mind
ed people, who though ignorant
the school needs, take 1t upon then
selves to fight appropriations mad
for the maintenance and enlargemer
Of the schools. 1t is time for the II
telligent and progressive people
the state to rise up and demand th'
this sort of thing shall stop.

THE MOTHER LAND.

Since God to folks of six or seven
Gave strength with which no king
may strive.
Since half the sweetness under heaven
He gave to people under five.
We little knew what We were giving
Methinks, when we gave play or
strife
And for the land where we are living,
The country where we prayed at
life.
Ger wooden trees and toy church
steeple
Burns family each mans morning

o Motherland whose laughing people
The dearest of all people are!
To death some fragment of thy sto-

The beggar brings, and to thy
song,
Behind the dying emperor's glorles,
His old tin soldiers tramp along.

MADDEN NEWS

Madden, July 3.-Tbcre was genuine
sorrow in the hearts of many when
the message was received on Wednes-
day that Mrs. w. J. Langston, of Con-
way had been called to her reward.
The body, accompanied by her devoted
husband and children reached here
Thursday afternoon and the funeral
and interment were at New Prospect,
the church of her girlhood and where
SO many of her loved lie sleeping. The
funeral services were conducted by her
former pastor and lifelong friend DR..
Jno. ID. Pitts of Blackville, assisted by
Revs. Thayer of Laurens and Martin
of Cross Hill, after which the body
was carried out and laid tenderly to
rest by the side of her baby boy who
preceded her to the grave several years
ago. The grave was covered by a
beautiful profusion of fowers-mute
testimony of loved ones and friends.
The pail bearers were all nephews
of the deceased: w. S. and c. A. Pow
