"No." said Phillip dryly. II do not
aim to destroy 1t. only aim to use 1t.
I can guarantee you that shall pro-
pose nothing that would lessen my
own grasp Of public affairs."s
Breed was thoughtful for moment,
and then he chuckled and nodded bis
head voluntarily, his parchment-like
face breaking into .leathern wrinkles.
II guess you are right. my boy" he
admitted. II haven't seen you do any
thing yet that would lessen your own
power, nor mine.' he added, NOR
mine. You have been doing wonder
fully well. Phillip-wonderfull well.
But come with me: have a surprise
for you"
Up into his own suit he led Kelvin.
and from the bottom of one of his
trunks he took a heavy robe of car
mine velvet and ermine, with childish
delight drawing its luxurious folds
around his tall and STOPPING body.
From the hat box of his trunk he took
a wonderful creation In gold and jew
els and set 1t upon his head. He
brought forth a rod of polished ebony
tipped with gold and set with one
huge. glittering diamond in its end.
then stood, half simpering, before Kel-
Yin, aeeeutered royalty with rebe and
scepter and crown. These baubles
seemed to change the current of
Breeds thought.
"The Lords anointed," he quayered
holding forth his scepter in an un.
steady hand. milne is the appointed
hand to chastise my people for their
follies and their ingratitude. Mine is
the hand to humble them. Mine is the
hand to set them anew in the paths of
peace and plenty"
ut Is a very handsome outfit and
must have cost fortune" commented
Kelvin briskly. You don't want to
keep them here, however"

had intended to take them to Forest

might want them suddenly. and TIL
just put them away here"
He took big suit case from closet
and hurriedly packed the expensive
gauds into 1t.
by the way, Philip" said he In an
unusually wheedling tone. ''how much
money have you with you?"
II don't know" returned Kelvin,
trifle surprised. "A little over a hun
dred, think"
You won't need it tonight, am
sure" said Breed. II have need for
little ready cash, just a little ready
cash." s4
He took the money eagerly and
counted 1t over and over
Zone hundred and fourteen dollarss'
said he, stuffing it deeply into sfils
pocket. You may just charge thiscto

LURE OF THE GREAT CITIES.

Why do mechanics and laborers
flock to New York City i'm such num-
bers that they are said to be 500, 600
men out of work there this winter
The question is asked and answered
in part by the manager of the Nation
al Employment Exchange, the insti-
tuition supported by the Russell Sage
Foundation and large number of
prominent business men of the me-
tropolis.
They go to New York, Manager
Carpenter says in substance, because
they believe they may get employ
ment on the subway construction or
in the city's many industries Most
of them have nothing more than a
railway ticket" many "give up jobs
that pay them on an average SIS a
week" to go to New York city. They
wish to see the great city as much as
to get work in it, But they become
dependents on charity or street beg
gars.
What is true of New York is true
| in large measure of Chicago. Ac-
cording to Mr. Carpenter, however
the chances of obtaining work are
much better in the middle west thar
in the east. The man who thinks o.
going to New York or Chicago in an!
capacity should seldom do so on {
venture, unless he is certain of his re
turn railroad fare. Life may be more
humdrum in a small town, but it il
safer against becoming a down ant
out" also. for most persons. TIL,
great cities need workers, but not mel
for whom no work can be provided.

SHOULD GET WATER FREE.

The suggestion made by residents
of Jackson street that if their street
be paved and parked that the city
furnish water free of cost for the
parking is an excellent one. The rule
is followed in some other cities and
is said to work admirably. 1t is only
fair that the city should furnish the
water for the parking strips. The
parking is in the street, not on pri-
vate property. If the streets are not
parked then the same ground must
be sprinkled by the city 1t is said
that less water will be needed to ir-
rigate piece of parking than to wa
ter that same piece when it is left
for street purposes. 1t sounds reas-
enable too.
If property owners are willing ia
pay for hard surface paving and are
willing to keep up the parking in front
of their homes the city should be
willing and eager to furnish water
for sprinkling the parking.
Nothing makes town look up-to-
date more than hard surface streets
lined with green parking on each side.
Such streets are a joy to everybody
all the time.

underlings followed orders Some
times public offices went TO men who
were afterwards found to be more
fitted for Jail, The people also do
very wen as legislators, They have
adopted some excellent laws under
the initiative and referendum and
they have voted down some bad laws
The people have more time to de-
liberate upon legislative measures
than has the legislature. The last
legislature had to pass upon 500
bills and most of the bills adopted
went through, not upon their merits
but by the logrolling process. That
is always the way in the legislature
The idea that the passions" and
emotions of the people must be
curbed makes one tired. The Am
erican people are only too conserva-
tive. What is needed in America is
not a curbing of the people but a
curbing of the politicians and a curb
ing of big business interests that
make use of those politicians, direct
ly and indirectly, to further their own
interests at the expense of the pub
lie.
President Taft is one of the old
school. That is all that's the matter
with him.

SIGN OF FUTURE GREATNESS.

The Rev. r. ]. Campbell, apropos of
his structures on the morality of the
modern business man, told a story of
a Philadelphia reporter.
"A commercial traveller" he said.
returned home from long trip in
the far east and said anxiously to his
wife at the railway station: How are
the dear children?'
Splendid" she replied. That is,
they are all splendid but little Willie,
and him I don't know what to make
of. Instead of studying at school he
spends his time making out of old
spools and such like rubbish worth
less trifles which he sells to the other
children for cakes and marbles While
his mates are at play he sits at home
studying success encyclopedias. He
doesn't even go to sleep like other
children When go up at night to

"NEUROTICS."

President Taft's Lincoln day speech
in New York throws light on his con-
duct while in Oregon last year.
While out here he refused to com
nit himself regarding his views of
the Oregon system though it was evil
dent he looked with disfavor upon
our progressive laws.
In New York the other evening the
president was more frank. In the
course of his speech he said
With the effort to make the Sc
lection of candidates, the enactment
Of legislation and the decision of
courts depend upon the momentary
passions Of a people necessarily in
differently informed as to the issues
presented, and without the opportu-
nifty to them for time and study and
that deliberation that gives security
and common sense to the government
OF the peopole, such extremists would
hurry US into condition which
could find no parallel except in the
French revolution or in the bubbhny
anarchy that once characterized the
South American republics.
such extremists are not progres.
sives-they are political emotional
lists or neurotics who have lost the
sense Of proportion, that clear and
candid consideration Of their own
weakness as whole, and that clear
perception Of the necessity for checks
upon hasty popular action which
made our people who fought the
Revolution and who drafted the Fed
eral Constitution the greatest self
governing people that the world ever
knew"
At last we know exactly what the
president thinks Of the Oregon sys-
TEN. It is all wrong. The people Of
Oregon are not "progressives" at all.
They are neurotics. Just why the
president did not say that while he
was out here is not clear. Why did
he not express himself while face to
face with the people Of Oregon
That would have been more manly.
Why did he go back to New York
to denounce us and to read the peo-
pie of this state out of the progressive
class?
SO the president thinks the peo-
pie are "indifferently informed" and
should not select candidates and pass
upon legislation But the people OF
Oregon have found it better to dc
such work direct than to leave II
entirely TO politicians When the
politicians made the nominations they
did not try to do the thing right The

1T WORKS BADLY.

The mortgage tax law now in force
causes double taxation and results
badly. 1t is aimed to tax the money
lender but in reality it hits the money
borrower, The borrower must pay a
higher rate of interest because of the
mortgage tax law and at the same
time he must pay taxes on mortgaged
property. The wrong man gets hit
and he gets hit twice.
