HELP HOSPITAL
Thanksgiving Donations Nov Received
None, and Articles of Ali Kiads Accepted


 Whatever we might say of the bene- fits conferred upon humanity by the Day Kimball hospital would, be mere repetition of what has been said in former years, and then it could not all be toid It would need person in close touch with the hospital and with it's interior constantly under personal supervision to detail the great work the institution is doing in our midst. During the past years hundreds and hundreds of patients have been re- ceeived and given the best of medical care and attention. Lives,that other- wise would have gone out haveabeen saved. Those beyond hope of recovery have had their sufferings alleviated in the last weeks and days iof their sick ness. There has been a growing num- Der of patients coming to the doors and all have been cared for. The buildings have been enlarged and still the nospi- tai is often taxed to Its capacity. Phy- sicians give their services freely and at considerable trouble and expense. The public is periodically asked to help and responds generously.
 Thanksgiving time is one of the pe- riods of annual appeal. This year as usual the Thanksgiving committee of the Woman's Board have sent out do- nation bags and envelopes, the former to be filled with such articles as the donor cares to give, the latter for mon- ey contributions. Bags may be left at the work room of l.. k. Smith, this Friday, or may be sent to the hospital at any convenient time. Lists should be sent with donstiona or to Mrs. J. $. Kent, chairman. All money contri- buttons should be sent to Mrs. Kent and checks mode payable to her order.
 We call attention to this manner and time Of contribution to the hospital. We de not believe that it is necessary to urge contributions as they have al- ways been most freely gwen. A mo ments thought of the benefits derived from the institution and the thought that any one of us may at anytime need it's shelter and care is enough to awaken a ready response from all. Let us hope that 1913 will see the lar gest donations of any year, and 1t Will have to be large indeed to pass some of the records previously established.

The Dreams Ahead.

What would we do in this world of
ours
Were it not for the dreams ahead?
For thorns are mixed with the
blooming flowers,
No matter which path we tread.
And each of US has his golden goal
Stretching far into the years;
And ever he climbs with a hopeful
soul,
With alternate smiles and tears.
That dream ahead is what holds
him up
Through the storms of a cease
less fight;
When his lips are pressed to the
.wOrmwOod's cup,
And clouds shut out the light.
To some it's a dream of high estate
To some ils a dream OfWeaith;
To some it's a dream of truce
with I&ta
In constant search for health
To some its a dream OF home and
wife;
To some its a crown above;
The dreams ahead are what make
each life
The dreams and falkland love!

the casualties of all sorts are few. 1t
is a gigantic war but a very small
fight as is true of all Latin republic
revolutions. Those people are strong
on manefestos, proclamations and
demonstrations but they are slow
about killing or getting killed.
For this country to intervene in
Mexico would endanger the lives of
Americans in that country. Such ac-
ton would arouse the hatred of the
Mexicans and might cause them to
slay Americans before the army could
get there. There is no excuse for in
teveption unless the Taft administra-
ton wishes to hand a package to the
incoming president.

that issued just after the election"
said Dr. Eliot.
The fourth-class postmasters were
appointees. They are to be
continued in office now simply be-
cause of the application of the spoils
system. The blow has been struck
from the capital at true civil service"
All who are not blinded by partisan
ship will admit the force OF what Dr.
Eliot says. II we are to have civil
service postmasters they should be Sc
lected under the civil service-not
named for political reasons and then
given civil service protection. Presi-
dent Taft's fourth class postmaster
ship order was the action of politici-
an, not that OF statesman.
In passing the minimum wage bill
for women the legislature is taking an
advanced step ana
Equal Suffrage needed one. The
Did 1t. measure looks to the
conservation of hu-
manity. 1t looks to the protection OF
women and girls who must work for
a livlihood and at times are the VIC
Tins of cruel wage system. There
are employers, especially in large cit
les, who do not pay women workers
sufficient wages to keep body and soul
together. This has come about be-
cause the women have been the help
less victims of a system that at times
means starvation or degradation. But
women are not so helpless in Oregon
now. They have the right of suffrage
and it is of deep significance that at
the first legislative session following
the suffrage victory in Oregon the
minimum wage bill for women has
been adopted.

~S~O~~

Though the engineer who ran over
little Ethel Grubb yesterday has been
exon er t e by
The O.-W. X. & n. the coroner's jury
Should Act. the railroad COM
pany cannot be
held blameless for the sad accident.
The little girl was rushing to school
and probably did not know of the on
coming danger until it was too late. 1t
is easy for a person travelling west on
East Court street to be surprised by a
train coming in on the Spokane divis-
ion. Just before the train reaches the
crossing it passes through cut and to
further hide the train from view there
is high board fence. To a little tor
like Ethel Grubb an incoming train
would be hidden until it had almost
reached the crossing.
The life Of a little girl was sacri-
feed yesterday because the O.-W. R.
& y. company has been saving money
it should have spent long ago to safe
guard that bloody crossing. This is
not said for the purpose Of harassing
the company or to prejudice people
against the officials who are capable
and accommodating men-most of
them at least. The statement is made
because 1t is the truth. The blame
for the death of Ethel Grubb may be
laid at the door Of the railroad COM
pany.
Nothing the railroad can do will
bring back life to the girl that was
killed. Nothing the company can do
can stay the grief of the father who
lost his only child. But the officials
have 1t in their power to prevent such
accidents in the future. They can
guard that crossing with an automatic
gate or at least with an alarm bell.
The railroad may also take steps to
make life safer at the Main street
crossing. There is more danger there
than on East Court street. There
should be watchman there
to warn people when trains or en-
gines are coming. 1t would pay the
railroad company to have such man
on duty. 1t would be good insurance
against damage suits
The East Oregonian continues its
motion that the people of the city ask
the railroad officials for safeguards
a; the more dangerous local crossings
II the request is not granted readily
and willingly-as 1t probably will be
steps should be taken to compel
such action by the company. Lives
of little children are too precious to
be sacrificed to make large dividends
for Wall street millionaires.

Golden PrpceDtS.

The late Robert c.. Ogden, merchant,
Dhilanthropist and millionaire, whose
life was notably successful from
every point Of view, left behind him
in writing this set of good and tried
rules:
Keep faith in humanity.
Do not mistake a prejudice for a
principle.
Be energetic, wideawake. pushing,
but be patient.
Use the book of Proverbs as a guide
in business.
Honor WomanhoOd.
Believe in yourself, then other peo-
pie will believe in you.
A vigorous healthy man has really
only one right in the world, only one
thing to demand. and that is a chance
t. work.
We recommend these precepts to the
youths of New England, who are just
now beginning careers in commerce,
industry and the professions. If they
be obeyed, they will lead n to hap
riness and good fortune.-The Boston
Globe.

T. E.. Brown, who is sc prominent a
figure in the farm demonstration work
and who will in the future have his
headquarters at A. e M. College, is

of the first class and will make a
worthy successor to Mr.. /. o. Schaub.
He tells all the demonstrators to work
for the boys just as hard as they do
for the men for the boy is at last COM
ing to his own in North Carolina, and
il is going to be an agricultural re-
statement of that beautiful message of
the Master, that "a little child shall
lead them" From far and neal grown
folks will go to see a boys prize acre
Oh corn. and they will brag about it a
great deal more than they will about
a mans acre. Let's do more than pat
the boys on the back; let's cheer them
on. They are doing something very
much finer than marching, rifle and
shoulder, to war, for they are carry
ing the gospel of agriculture of the
rest sort of the peace, contentmenr
and good living which it brings. They
will be the sort of boys to stay on the
farm and not have the Wander-lust and
the craze for the city and the town
which have caused such tremendous
Lesertion of so many country districts.

Fair Play for Babies.

N. ". I1GdlJn Du1lSllu.
Crying is the complaint Language
common to all babies. 1t is a Ian
guage of limited vocabulary, but
withaI is one seldom properly inter
preted. Most mothers interpret the
baby's every cry as a call for food
they Immediately proceed to shut il
lap by stuffing the child with food
that it doesn't want and should not
have.
When the baby cries, look for
some cause besides hunger. Don't
stuff 4 nipple in its mouth and let
it go at that.
Perhaps the baby is tired of ly-
ing in, one position so long. Turn
it over.
Quite likely it is thirsty. Give it
Il drink of cooled, boiled water no
ice in it.
Maybe it's garments are wet
or soiled and therefore uncomfOrta-
ble. If so, remove them at once,
wash the parts carefully, apply
some uscented talcum powder, and
Put on clean, thoroughly dry gar
ments.
Perhaps its clothes are uncomfor-
ably tight or a pin may be sticking it.
Correct this.
II may De complaining about being
toe warm or asking relief from prick
~ heat" Make it comfortable by re-
moving all unnecessary clothing-a
thin gauze shirt and a diaper is all that
mOst babies should YEA in hot wealth
CT. Light dressing and two sponge
baths daily will prevent "prickly
heat"
Maybe it is Directing to the quail
ity of the air of the room. Close,
hot, smelly air will make any baby
peevish. Give it lots of fresh air; let
il sleep outdoors as much as possible,
protected from dust, sun and flies.
When in the house keep the windows
open.
Learn to do something to stop a ba-
by's cry besides stuffing a nipple in
its mouth. Put yourself in the help
less baby's place and figure out what
would happen to you if every time you
asked for a drink of water you were
given food; every time you grew tir-
ed of lying in one position and want
ed to be turned over. food were push
ed into your mouth: everv time you
wished to be let alone that o might
sleep, food were forced on you; every
time you complained about your
clothes being too tight or uncomfor-
table, a nipple were stuffed into your
mouth; every time you complained
about being too warm and wanted re-
lief from "priekly heat" you got food
instead of relief. Wouldn't it make
you mad, d~yspeptic, and what not?
Then have thought for the poor help
less baby.
