The Happiest Man.

The man is happiest, VOW,
Who wears no laurel round his brow
Who has no hoard Of sordd gold,
Or worldwide fame that he must hold,
AT any cost Of peace of mind
But goes his way content to find
His joys wherever he may roam
All centered in his little home.
His nights are sweet with sleep and rest,
His cares are simple, and his quest
For riches does not lead him far
From where the greater treasures are.
When he has satisfied his needs
The lure of home is all he needs.
Well spent he counts those hours OF day
That with his babes he romps away.
He does not think an hour is vain
That is not spent in search Of gain;
To sit beside his blazing fire
Becomes his summit Of desire.
He does not yearn for worldwide fame
Nor is the worlds applause his aim;
The laughter of his girls and boys
He counts the greatest Of his joys,
The happiest man on earth is he
Who lives within his family;
Though missing fame and missing gold,
He dwels in peace and love untold.
His hope Of fortune ever lies
Within his loved ones's shining eyes,
Ills hope Of fame throughout his days.
Is hearing them proclaim his praise.

No matter who the national repub-
lican convention may nominate for
president the republicans Of Missouri
must stand together in fighting the
old guard democrats who are clamoring
for control Of the state government.

Until the republicans meet at Chi

presidential ticket the democrats will
carry the country" After that the
republicans will sweep the country.

THE MOST soCIALIZED NATION.

A German laborer may begin life
attended by physician or nurse paid
by the state; he is christened by a
state clergyman; is taught the rudi-
ments OF learning aud his handicraft
by the state. He is drafted by the
state into the army, devoting two of
his best years to the drill sergeant.
If he falls i'll, is suffering is assauged
by the knowledge that his wife and
children are cared for, and that his
expenses will be paid during illness,
and he spends his convalescence in a
sumptuous state hospital. If he falls
victim to an accident the ample in
surance, even if he be permanently
injured, is a balm to his suffering. If
he gets out of. work, city and state
unite to find or make work for him.

NEW JERSEY.

New Jersey shows another sweep
ing victory for Roosevelt and it may
prove the last straw that will break
the back of the Taft camel. Though
tie Taft leaders still assert they have
enough votes to renominate the presi-
dent it is certain tn continued VIC
tories of the colonel will be discon-
certing to the opposing managers. 1t
may be hard for them to keep the
southern delegates in line.
In the democratic race in New Jer-
sey the feature was the brilliant VIC
tory scored by Governor Wilson, AL
though the democratic state organiza-
ton led by former Senator Smith
bitterly fought Wilson and though the
Hearst papers of New York published
special New Jersey editions violently
attacking the governor he neverthe-
less made practically a clean sweep
OF the state. It was fine tribute to
Governor Wilson and should aid him

REALM FEMININE

Whenever that period of non-pro-
duction in dress reaches the stage that
corresponds to the silence between
friends who no longer agree, then we
know that the between-season is here;
it is evidence of the fact that manu-
facturers, designers and dressmakers,
all are exerting themselves to the ut
most to present something new to fol-
lowers of fashion, and to offer some
thing which though 1t may be
"foeler" possesses qualities sufficiently
tangible to give it place among the
advance modes of the next season 10
come.
OF course it would be rash to talk
of autumn styles when we nave not
vet felt the scorching rays OF mlu-
summers sun. 1t is true that the 1lrst
felt hats appear during August, put
the autumn modes as they are to De
considered seriously are too snuely
tucked away to even be thought OIL
now. although they are in the makiils'
So the designers must offer something
to take the place of new fashions ana
at the same time present all the de-
lights of novelty.
Hence they turn to the details OF
dress. And what a vista of sartorlal
beauty looms before the Imagination
when one says "details" or "accessor-
ies," if you will Particular attention
Just now SENS to be turned toward
ruches-ruches for the neck; for the
bottom of the skirt; for the peplum;
| for the sleeves, and for every part OF
the toilet that needs an additional
touch in the way of finish.
Ruchings at the bottom of the
skirt are features of very smart sum-
mer frocks. They give weight to
! the gossamer materials of this sea-
son, and they possess a quaint beauty
that is the delight of the slender wo-
man and the despair of the stout one,
Yet there are ways of using them to
| the advantage of all. Certainly the
| farther they are removed from waist
line or neck of stout women, the bet
ter they are, and smart dressmakers
are inventing many modes of arrang-
ing bands of ruching about the skirts
| designed for women afflicted with
this so ponderous flesh"
For net dresses, ruchings of plain
silk-taffeta, surah or messaline-
are extremely effective. And the ef-
feet is just as desirable, when the Or
der is reversed. One of the shops has
shown charming dinner frock in
black and white net this eason. The
skirt, of net, built over a foundation
of white satin yelled with the most
delicate of pink chiffon, is finished
with a ruching of white silk. The
contrast is rather striking. but 1t is
indescribably "Frenchy." The ruch-
ing is stitched on with narrow band
Of black velvet. There is a girdle Of
black and white striped ribbon and
the bodice has an exauisitely fishu Of
Spanish lace, the designs of which
are boldly outlined with black en-
broidery silk.

DEFINE THEIR WORK.

There are indications that some
good will result from bringing before
the people the question of consolidat-
ing the two big state educational in
stitutions. The schools won't be con-
solidated but there are prospects they
will be placed on a better financial
basis and their work be more closely
defined.
Now that the commission named
by Governor West to investigate the
schools has virtually agreed to sub
nit a bill to place the schools upon a
millage basis the Portland papers are
urging that the bill also define the
work that shall be done at each in
stitution.
In an editorial revealing close
knowledge of the subject the Ore
gonian yesterday set forth that under
a logical division OF work the uni
versity should pursue pure truth and
the agricultural college seek to apply
truth to current life. The university
gives instruction of theoretical or
scholarly value while the agricultural
college offers training of more direct
usefulness.
Under such a division as this the
agricultural college would carry all
courses coming under the head of ap-
piled science such as agriculture, en-
glneering, domestic science, com.
merce, pharmacy, medicine, ETC.,
while the university would confine it
self to classic lines. 1t is the natural
division.
At the present time there is no hard
ard fast line between the two schools
and so some of the work given at one
school is duplicated at the other. An
attempt was made to solve the prob
lem when the board of higher cirri-
cula was appointed a few years ago.
The board did excellent work but
there is still some duplication and this
is what furnishes the basis for the
arguments that the two big schools
be consolidated.
II the commission named by the
governor will draft an initiative bill
placing the schools on a millage basis
and also requiring that each school
confine itself to work within its logi-
cal sphere there should be an end to
attempts at tinkering with the schools.

POLITICS AND POLITICIANS


Chicago suffragists will not march
to the republican convention. They
planned to muster $4,000 women and
descend on the convention hall in a
bunch.
A bill providing for an advisory
recalr' of federal judges and United
States senators by a majority vote of
the people, has been passed by MEM
bers of the Arizona state assembly.
Members of congress are disap-
pointed over the prospects for an
early adjournment The senate demo-
Gratis have decided to insist that con-
gress remain in session until all tar
iff bills sent over by the house and
that may yet be sent over are voted
on.
In Milwaukee lists are to be pub
lished of the persons paying income
tax together with the amount that
each person pays. There is said to be
deep political reason behind the
pan, the republicans claiming that it
is used in the attempt to elect a dem
ocratic governor. There are others
who claim that the plan has been
adopted merely to set mass against
class.
Governor Emmett O'Neal of Ala
bama declares that prohibition has
been failure in his state and that the
promises of leaders have not been
fulfilled. He insists that human ap-
petites and habits can not be regu-
lated by laws and urges that some
other means be taken for trying to
persuade the people to give up the
drink habit. The prohibitionists on
the other hand, publish statistics to
show that they are satisfied with the
progress being made in teir fight for
temperance in Alabama.
1t is stated upon the best of au-
thority that the high cost of living is
beginning to pinch the commissary
department of the army. Rations
have gone up to such an extent that
the appropriation of $9.033,579 made
in March, 1911, for feeding the army
during the current fiscal year is
about exhausted.
All requistions for food for the army
for the present month can not be fill
ed, and there is no money with which
to purchase food for the troops in
June.
Lincoln clubs are being organized
throughout the state of Pennsylvania
for the purpose of participating ac-
lively in the coming campaign. The
clubs will promote particularly the in
terests of the republican candidate
for president and the congressional
nominees. The idea of forming such
organizations springs from a sugges-
tion made by United States Senator
Penrose to some of the leading mem
bers of his party in Pennsylvania. He
has taken an active interest in the
formation of the clubs and he and
his friends, it is said, will do much
to support them as IL is believed they
will stir unusual interest in the cam
paign The clubs will support only
candidates that are regularly named
by conventions, without taking any
part in having candidates named.

IiAISINs.

For several years past California
raisin growers have been waging
campaign to get more people to eat
raisins. Tons of literature are sent
forth exploiting the food value of the
gentle raisin. A day has been set
apart in California on which all loyal
Californians and sons of California
and daughters too, are emplored to
eat raisins and nothing else pre-
sumably
Now comes the news from Fresno
that the growers are getting together
to fix minimum price for raisins. In
other words they are going to form
combination in restraint of trade and
not only make people eat raisins but
make them pay the price the trust
thinks it should, get

VOTES FOR WOMEN

The great suffrage meeting in Chi

tives from 10 states will take part,
would be good to see. All the states
of the south and middle west will be

toward a plan for the most effective
tactics for winning a speedy and
sweeping victory for Votes for Women
from the Dakotas to the Gulf
All will come bent on one great, all
absorbing purpose-to give the suf-
frage movement one tremendous, un-
mistakable impetus before the final
victory that shall swim state after

runner of justice, from the Atlantic

FIXING THE BLAME.

Regardless of whether technical"
men like it or not the senate commit
tee that investigated the Titanic
wreck seems TO have hit several nails
squarely on the head. The committee
found that about 1900 people were
drowned through rank neglect on the
part of the ship company and officers
and also through Indifference or
something else on the part of the cap
tain of the Californian. The report
criticises the company for not pro-
viding the great boat with suffici-
ent number of life boats, for not hav-
ing a better disciplined crew and for
rot filling the life boats that were
made use of. The captain of the CAL
ifornian is grilled for not Fastening to
the rescue. Senator William Alden

SENSATIONAL BULGE

Chicago. July 2s.--Anxiety of grain

call for July delivery brought about a
rapid advance in that option today,
amounting at one time to assc for wheat

Black rust spreading and scantiness OF

responsible. Cereals closed nervous all

Persistent bidding for July by a few

but offerings were readily absorbed. Fart
of the buying was attributed to Liver
pool houses, supposedly against sales IN
the market there, and after the Ensllsn

from the best. The failure OF the SOUTH
west to receive any good soaking rams,
and the fact that there was nothing III
the trading to suggest increased SOUTH

however, and the market turned firmer
again after 2 o'clock with prices reacn-
