representative towns by officials Of the
British Board Of Trade. were circulated
in Parliament this evening.
The report covers 533 pages and deals
with the questions Of working class

States. compiled for purposes of COM
parison with the conditions Of workers
in Great Britain and other countries.
The conclusions reached are:
The cost Of food and rent combined
is - per cent greater in the United
states than in England and Wales. but
these heavier relative charges on work
ing class income have been accompanied
with weekly wages which are as 23O
TO 100"
The report adds that this ratio OF
money earnings is more than two and
quarter times as great as in England
and Wales. and makes possible a COM

IN THE NUNS GARDEN.

In the nuns garden lean the lilies
slender;
In the nuns garden crimson roses
blow;
And many flowers, old fashioned, fair,
and tender,
Along the paths in rich profusion
grow.
But sweeter than the roses and the
lilies
That fill with beauty all the gay
parterres,
The virgin flowers whose joyous duty
still is
To watt to God the perfume Of their
prayers!
In the nuns garden, weary of his va
GRANGE,
Often the wanderer comes his woes
to plead,
For in that place Of purity and fra
GRANGE
Are gentle hearts responsive to his
need.
There mercy dwells and the crimson
roses;
There no one knocks upon the gate
in vain;
For, like the door Of heaven, 1t never
closes
On human sorrow or human pain.
In the nuns garden lean the lilies
slender
And many a flower adorns the gay
parterres,
But sweter far the souls so pure and
tender
Who watt to God the perfume OF
their prayers.

THE PLAYERS.

We are the players OF a play
AS old as earth,
Between the wings of night and day,
With tears and mirth.
There is no record of the land
From whence it came;
No legend of the playwright's hand,
No bruited fame.
OF those who for the piece were cast,
In the first night
When God drew up his curtain vast
And there was light.
Before our eyes as We came on,
From age to age,
Flare up the footlights of the dawn
On this round stage.
In front, unknown. beyond the glare
Vague shadows loom;
And sounds like muttering winds are
there,
Foreboding doom.
Yet wistfuIly We keep the boards;
And as we mend
The clustering, forgotten words,
Hope to the end.
To hear the stormbeat OF applause
Fills our desire,
Then the dark Prompter gives us
pause
And we retire.
Bliss Carman.

TIME FOR PEACE.

There is no need of again opening
the subject of a geographical loca-
ton for the branch asylum. Nor can
that subject well be reopened. That
point has been officially decided,
There should be no further trouble
over the branch asylum and there
will be no trouble if all concerned
will but lay aside political consider
ations and get down to business. II
the present state board feels that some
additional land should be purchased
for the branch asylum site then the
board should be given reasonable
powers in the matter of purchasing
new land. The board is to build the
institution and be responsible for It
to the people. Then the board should
not be hampered by any senseless
restrictions arising out of political
animoSities.

THE PIONEER.

To love to live-I choose this as my
life.
The world is full of chatter, cheap
and vain,
And painted sights and foolish paven
lanes where people MOL at
pleasure,
Getting none, returning yet again for
naught, and less than naught-
And o'er-plussed emptiness of heart
and soul
Which makes a mock of life and
turns 1t sour.
All this I pass; not prudishly, as
one who fears to mix with men,
Nor scorning human things,
Nor in a cloister mood, seeking
aloofness and some mystic spell
But rather in a thirst for redder
wine,
A crave for passions that are ne'er
outworn,
A lust for one good hack at old Con-
vention, statued in the Square!
To those who love the groove, the
patterned task, the vested
rights,
say, adieu;
Give me the thing to do that's not
been done,
That helps my kind, and yields my
spirit wide egress,
The AK upon the beech to mark my
way,
A golden sunset from behind the
rugged hills,
And then, should the gods allow,
A white arm round my neck en-
twined
And on my lisp the kiss of Her who
understood and shared!

but in those days the lament had
struck me as comic; whereas now
something within me says it is worth
investigation-which may be age, and
may be clarity of vision.
And so l investigated; and was sur
prised to learn at the very outset that
the critical faculty is not limited to
forty-five. We of the older genera
ton do not give complete satisfaction.

seemed to me the most enviable Of
couples. "They haven't a taste in
common, and that must be a bore"
And she went on to outline how golf,
tennis, or even croquet might have
united their leisure. In a word, she
and her mother both felt a certain
affection regret that the other was
missing something of a woman's ma
tural inheritance. From "The Point

NO MORE ROMANCE?

II appears that Romance is finally
dead. Of course we have heard this
for several centuries, but former ru-
mors of its death were grossly exag-
gerated, and the real demise has only
just taken place. I heard all about
it from the mother Of grown daugh-
ters. The young people of today are
without sentiment; they dance to-
gether in exactly the same spirit in
which they walk, swim, and play ten
mis- together; they never want to be
alone; they go about in gangs; no one
sends any one flowers; the sacred
hour af afternoon tea Is spent in play
ing auction bridge; in short, the face
Of nature is changed; young men are
no longer ardent and ingenious. nor
girls mysterious and elusive.
Well, I was sorry to hear 1t. Ro-
nance contributed a good deal to
youth, in my days; and I thought It
a pity that these young six-foot gods
and goddesses whom ] see about
should grow up in ignorance. Nor
must you suppose that I was so sim
pie as to forget that I had heard the
same cry from my own mother, and
my grandmother. too, I dare say
(only both my grandmothers were
dead, poor ladies'. before was born)

A FUTILE MOVE.

Senator Turner oliver of La Grande
has a bill establishing an eastern
Oregon normal school in his home
town and he argues that this section
of the state needs a normal school in
order to overcome the scarcity of
teachers now prevailing.
The argument that eastern Oregon
needs a normal cannot well be ques-
toned. Any man who knows any
thing about school work in eastern
Oregon knows that this section needs
q normal school. He knows that the
failure of this state to provide funds
for the eastern Oregon normal was
disgraceful He also knows, if well
informed, that the defeat of the Wes-
ten normal as we'll as of the normal
at Ashland, was due directly to delib-
crate and flagrant lies circulated by
men who were moved by political
considerations and not by any desire
tc serve the best interests Of educa-
ton in Eastern Oregon. The East
Oregonian made this charge during
the late campaign. The charge is
repeated at this time when no cam
paign is on. It has been proven and
can be proven again.
But as to Senator divers move it
can accomplish no good and only
confuses the situation. Eastern Ore
gon already has a normal school at
Weston. All that it needs is funds
for maintenance. It is folly to talk
OF establishing a normal at La Grande.
Nor is there much use in asking the
legislature for anything for an Eastern
Oregon normal. Since the people OF
the state voted down bill to provide
maintenance for the school the legis-
lature may be expected to leave the
subject alone The matter may as well
be dropped until the people realize
the truth Of the situation. Then they
will adopt an initiative bill providing
maintenance for the Eastern Oregon
normal.

WAIT AND WATCH.

Senator Jeff Davis is evidently a
Teactionary, not a progressive, dem
ocrat. He thinks that Roosevelt kill
ed himself off by his new nationalism
speech. But the new nationalism Is
nothing more nor less than a sum-
mary of the best principles of the
progressive wings Of the republican
and democratic parties. Besides the
Arkansan with the historic name may
find that the colonel is not as dead
as some suppose. He is coming west
within a short time and it will be
well to wait a while and watch the
smoke that arises from the trail OF
the man whom Jeff Davis thinks has
been sent to a political St Helena.

ARRESTED
FOR ATTEMPT
TO MURDER

After finding himself in the
clutches of the law with no appar-
ent avenue of escape, Joe Rossi en-
deayored to beat his brains out on
the floor of the city Jail when ar
rested by Chief of Police Hamilton
and James Malone, city detective of
Tacoma, Saturday evening on the
charge of attempted murder.
Rossi's offense consists in slashing
Della Olivia, with whom he was in
love, with a razor, because she re-
ceived the attentions of another sui
tor. 1t was committed April %, and
since then the officers have been on
his trail, finally landing him here.
When Malone got ready to take
him to the train it became necessary
to handcuff him, and while the Off
GERS were putting the irons upon
him he tried to bite them.
