THE NEIGHBOR.

He set his hand to the plow one day,
While yet his years were few,
Resolved to mark a distant field
With burrows firm and true.
His arms were strong for the toll of
life,
His heart was all afire,
Till a neighbor laughed, and turned
him home.
Rebuking his desire:
You are too young, you are too poor,
you are too weak" said he.
Best leave such tasks to the rich
and great, and strive to be like
mel"
Then rosy Love brought grand lar
gesse
To his very cottage door,
A maid of mystery and of charm
God never gave before;
And the lad held out dumb hands of
Hope
To the mighty fires of Peace,
Till the neighbor passed with tongue
in cheek,
And then he sought release.
You are too dull the neighbor said,
Ito shine by such as she.
Find You a girl of common clay to
wed and be like me!"
So time sped by, till the fading day
Could bring but one last chance
To break the bonds of sordid life
And conquer Circumstance;

Eager to reach one shining goal,
But his neighbor whispered,

and you are just like mel"

grouping into great combinations the
enterprises which the financiering Of
others had created.
He created new values almost faou-
lcus in amounts and contributed to the
feverish activities of one OF the great
est speculative periods the country has
ever known. They were. however,
very largely new valus based on mo-
nopoly. The new freedom is going to
make it more difficult in the future
for one man to pick the most desirable
and remunerative of the varied enter

fortunes by first capitalizing
the tariff privileges of a Steel Trust
and then strengthening and capitaliz-

With new times and the imperious
dominance of new ideas have come
new conditions. Nobody need feel ap-
prehensive over the inauguration of
the new freedom. which is rather a
restoration of the old freedom. The
system Of which Mr Morgan was one
of the chief beneficiaries and which
he helped to create will pass with just
as little effect on real values and real
prosperity as the passing of Mr.. Nor

When women become so desperate
they are willing to slay and burn and
when prison walls lose
The all their terror it is time
Explanation. for the world TO take
notice and ask why.
It is evident the fight for suffrage
in England is different from the cam
paign in this country. In our west
ern states the women have wanted suf-
frage more for the rights sake than
otherwise. While suffering under
some injustices they did not feel such
injustices as keenly as they did the In
ference that they were not capable
OF exercising citizenship properly. So
the granting of suffrage in Oregon
and elsewhere has worked no radical
changes.
In England the women want SUI
frage not merely because they are
entitled to that privilege but because
they want to obtain relief from real
not imaginary tyranny. 1t is well
known that the English laws relating
10 women are far less liberal thah
are the laws of America. Then the in
dustrial problem in England Is a
pressing one, Monarchy, militarism
and monopoly have made heavy
load for the common people Of Brit
ain to carry and add TO this the fac'
that women are denied the right OF
franchise and you have the reason for
the upheaval
Those who are surprised at the ac-
tions Of the English women should
remember that il is not the mountain
that makes the volcano, but the pres
