Little by little the trench fighting to which modern lotue has deteriorated revealed in all ugness Life in the watersoaked and shellswept dches under incessant toll and strain wears out bodies and souls alike until wonder bat the soldiers have enough vgor end spirit left charge when the order The psychology of those exhausted burrowing in the mud is thus described by Nj. H. Donohue Eng fish correspondent:
 "Gradary begins to realize the boredom of battle to acquire that faalistc indifference to the chance of death which enables the soldiers to stir their soup without upward glance at sky full of jagged steel. Only and then the old Ques- ton comes to one-Tlis, or the next?'"
 And from the same correspondent comes this elegy on the brave men who killed each other in one of the hercest fights of the Belgian battle line:
 "Nieupor is in ruins destruction has set ts grim seal upon the town and all things living have since fled from the place as if from some spot ac- cursed. Nieuport is inhabited but is by the dead. in mburied heaps they lie thicl,ly among the sand dunes which surround it. and :n the town itself in the midst of the silent deserted streets and among the gaping disheveled houses Belgian and Teuton and Gaul lie there, having met and fallen in the rude shock of battle. Time win not be obiyious their heroic deeds, but present they lie where they fell. and sepulture is denied them because this zone Of the dead stll swept by the shell fire of the contending armies"

STATE RIGHTS

The suffragists in convention at Nashville. stood for state rights
 That is to say
 There is suffrage organization known the Congressional Union object of which is to secure Woman Suffrage by act of congress. thus shortening the period of fighting out state by state and swing it to every state wHynnly Because the Democratic party would not fall in with this plan che Congressional Union made vigorous effort to have Democrats boy coted at the last election Members Of this organiza- ton esmpaienad against Democratic candidates for congress, whether or not the organizations for woman's suffrage approved their action
 The convention has declared that in future state suffrage committees must be consulted before any ton of this kind is taken
 This may seem q minor technical detail But it is not opens in the minds of these working for suf frase the whole question of states rights. Which is a most important consideration
 Most women, ready for the ballot They are not ready for political responsibility they have thought upon the subject of government at au Most men are not fit for the ballot for the But there's not much giving the ballot to more unfit people. What intelligent suffragsts want done to have the unfit made ht
 or those women who are deliberately working for suffrage than ninetynine per cent fit to gov They have thought about government They have studied it They demanding the vote not only be it is inherent right but because through the exercise of 1t they hope make living conditions better

Not at an They would be- just unfit as mott men have shown themselves be- Perhaps even more so And in a state where the women are unfit for tho responsibility of government woman's suf frage bound to be a dismal failure

 The same was true of colored voters. Giving the 'cte to them in some localities too soon was a great mistake. Observe the distinction there. Giving the vote to any human being is not a mistake It is his inherent right as human being. But giving the vote loo soon is great mistake. is always too soon to give people either rights or responsibilities untn they think about them and want them
 When enough women in any state want the vote, they can get it. Meantime campaigns of education by all means ,to spread the gospel and enlighten women upon the need of their help in politics!
 But let's not stuff it down their throats, lest they cast it out forever!

HOST OF DELEGATES
 FOR MINE CONGRESS

PHOENIX. Nov. 26.-"More than GOO delegates to the coming mining congress have been appointed al. ready" said Secretary wncott this morning. These are in addition to the regular membership and think it is conservative to estimate that there will be 1000 delegates in all.
 "The state delegations that have notified me of their numbers have proven pleasant surprise. Utah is coming with more than 100 and will have an important object in mind, the securing of the next convention for Salt Lake City Among their dele gates will be Will Knight, Leroy Ec- cles, R. c. Gammnl, J. F. Merrill, Tom Kerns an D. Jackling, all men of in- tenational reputation.
 While the primary object of each state delegation will naturally be to boost for their own state. they will all leave Phoenix as boosters for Ari- zona and we look for untold benefit to the mining industry of the state from the meetings.
 We hope that every mining man and prospector in the state will make it point to be present and to join in the discussions. Arizona needs de- velopment perhaps more than any of the mineral states and we want to feature the undeveloped mines of the state prominently at this convention. ! It is easy enough to sit back in chair and talk about Arizona not be- l ing scratched yet This may be true but this convention will give every owner of a prospect a chance to dem onstrate it's value to the greatest men in the industry, men who are anxious for further development of mineral wealth and who have the prestige and knowledge to make their desires ef- fective'

FEMlNIsr vs. AouseHuseAnp

Feminism gets severely iolted in decision rem dered by a Cleveland judge. Mrs Ericsson a sufrra. sis worker had sued her husband a mail carrier for divorce The husband filed cross petition Each party charged the other with gross neglect The case nat uraly turned into investigation of the relative neg feet of marital duty attributable husband and wife
 In this comparison the husband carried off the honors. The feminist, it developed was not a good housewife but the mail carrier was most excellent house husband At any rate, it was proved that while Mrs Ericsson was away organizing suffrage societies Mr. Ericsson at home-n the intervals permitted by his federal iob-doing the housework neighbor testified that he perfect housemaid in every re- sDect except attire He should have worn dresses. the neghbor explained.
 That enough for the learned iudge-that and he fact that the wife had husbands pockets The refused Mrs Ericsson divorce and granted a devree to Mir Ericsson.
 Which seems to show that "woman's place is in the home" or doesn't it?

War certainly makes strange bedieiows To see the various nations batting each other the back now anybody would think they had always loved one snother, and had away hated the enemy they fighting. But slight glance backward into history shows the flimsiness of national loves and hates.
 England and France were enemies for many cen turies, until their fear of Germany drove them together Engands friendship with Russia Is of even more sudden growth Russia has been the world power that Britain feared most, until within few years. These two powers fought half century ago in the Crmea, and their rivalry in Asia may bring them into conflict again when their present task is ended.
 The oldest relationship is the incidental alliance or Japan with Russia, as a result of the Japanese British alliance. 50 soon sthe RussoJapanese war forgotten
 The Germans and Austrians, too, have much to for give as they fight side by side Germany crushed Aus ra than forty years ago in of the deliberat wars that Bismarck used for his empirebulding.
 Britain and Germany now the bitterest enemie among the powers cooperated in crushing Napoleon British and Austria have fought side bs side or occasion, as have Germany and Russia.
 Talk of national antiquities is mostly nonsense In every generation nations fight as their rulers O ruling classes them to- and every time the group ing fig different It is temporary expedience, or whu passes such and race hatred or traditional en .mity, that makes nations friends-n-arms or foes.

Tn the first place, my sister is forty-one years old Put that down. And her husband is twentynine. Whatever possessed her to marry him no human being can explain" and Mrs Guthrie shipped the cloth with vicious click of the shears, compressing her lips the while.
 "He is not prepossessing, he has nothing and he Is not like some young men, 'chock full of days works In fact. he's lazy, spelled with capi- tals.
 "I would not mind ii so much if her life had not always been so cruel ly hard" she continued as soon as she had taken the pins from her mouth to fasten the pattern onto the goods. She was mother to us all. l suppose you know that my father very thoughtfully took himself on shortly before his sixth baby was born, and forgot to come back. Lii was the oldest. and from the day mother discovered that she was left with all those babies to provide for she began to lean on her. Lii did most of the work. as mother was delicate, but she managed some way to keep up with her class at high school and as soon as she graduated she began to teach She got a position rie here at home and supported the fam l fly and did the homework mornings and evenings. Of course, she never had any youth or any pleasure. She was an old woman at fourteen
 Here Mrs. Guthrie sat down in a rocker, bit off length of bread and : suspended the conversation while 1 she jabbed an end repeatedly at the | eye of the needle.

PROSPECTS ARE NOT BRIGHT.
Revival in Lumber Market Conditions
Not Looked for Soon.

Although lumbermen generally are
endeavoring to make themselves be-
lieve that conditions in the lumber
market is improving slightly and that
there is an optomistic feeling all along
the line, Mr.. L. S. Hill of the Brown
Lumber company of Cottage Grove,
which company not only operates one
of the large sawmills in this valley
but several retail yards as well, can
not see it in that light. Mr. Hill
spent Sunday and Monday in Dallas
and to The Observer said he could not
conceive how there could be any i'm
provement in the near future. 1t is
true that the stock of the retailer is
low, but the demand is also at low
ebb. Mr.. Hill recently purchased
from the government about 100000
600 feet of standing timber in the
Umpqua forest reserve, but has eight
or ten years in which to remove it.
The mill of the Brown Lumber COM
pany. like all the other mills at the
head of the Willamette valley, is
closed down for an indefinite period.

POLK COUNTY DOES THINGS.
Road Oiling is Approved of by Capt.
tai City People.

The people of Polk county are show
ing the people of Marion county some
things in the way of improved roads
that are worth noticing. The road be-
tween Dallas and Monmouth and In
dependence has been oiled all the way,
and the road from Independence to
West Salem is oiled as far as the
Brunk farm. where it meets the Sa-
lem-Rickreall road. Perhaps there are
others. 1t is planned to continue the
oiling of the Independence-West Sa-
lem road clear to the latter place; to
the West end of the bridge across the
Willamette at Salem. This will make
the roads thus treated much smoother
for travel, and it will make them dust
less, consideration of great comfort
to the travelling public, and especially
so to the farmers and Others living
along or near them. For the resi-
dents along or near the roads, ii will
make all the difference between com
fort and cleanliness and rank discom-
fort and dirt and disease germs. A
hard surfaced highway would be bet
ter and cheaper. in the long run, than
an oiled road; but an oiled road IS
far and away ahead of a streak Of
dust misnamed a road.-Statesman.

PLAN FOR BIG RALLY.

Getting Busy for Campaign.

That the prohibitionists will make
a stir in Polk county during the APP
preaching campaign is now an assured
fact, the several local organizations
combining in their efforts to make
Oregon dry this fall. Representatives
Of three of these organizations con-
vened on Friday evening last and per-
fected preliminary arrangements for
the holding of picnic in the city
park on July Is, at which time prom
inent prohibition speakers will be
present and deliver addresses in the
interest of temperance and the eradi-
cation of liquor. 1t is not known at
this time who will lead in the discus
sion, but the committee will make this
announcement later Those attending
the committee meeting are Rev. C. p.
Gates, Mrs. c. c. Curtis and Mrs.

TO SAVE ITS PROPERTY
LA CREOLE ACADEMY MAY CON-
SOLIDATE WITH HIGH.
Attorney General Crawford Says
Merger of these Institutions
Would Be Lawful.

There being a movement under way
to save the La Creole Academy prop
erty from reverting to the original
doners by the consolidation of that
institution with the Dallas High
school, the attorney general has given
it as his opinion that such merger
would be lawful, and the plan may be
successfully worked out in the not
very distant future 1t is the desire
OF the Academy people to also pre-
serve the name of their institution
although it has become defunct
through inability of the Evangelical
society to meet the Standardization re-
quirements for its college.
The institute was founded in the
early fifties, at which time consid-
cradle tract of land was donated to its
permanent use. The dedication of this
land would become null and void were
the school to be wholly discontinued,
reverting to the owners or their legal
heirs.
Attorney-General Crawford holds
that it would be lawful for the insti-
tute to supplement the work of the
high school, and for the two names
to be combined, but that the work
must be done under the supervision
of the High School Board.

Found Chewing the Rag at Dallas
Steam Laundry.

Who has lost "A set of false teeth ?
The unfortunate individual may re-
cover their property by applying at
the Dallas Steam Laundry. This in
stitution has no particular use for
them. 1t is quite capable of "chew-
ing the rag without them.
While operating mangler this
morning, the operator heard crunch
ing sound and thinking that something
serious was about to happen to the
machine, quickly threw off the belt
and proceeded to investigate. After
diligent search the discovery was
made. Some careless individual had
sent a garment to the laundry with
the set of false teeth in the pocket.
