I lie awake on a winter's night And wish and wth lor day When the snow is falling ghost- ly white And the wind has lost his way. When he shakes the shutter and seems to say: "I've lost my way! I've lost my way!" II. That's why he's sighing and crying so As he wanders all about. How can he find the way to go When the stars are all blown out? He's lost his way! He's lost his way! III. But then the beautiful morn- Ing breaks; I see him there at play; ; A sip of dew from the rose he takes And the wind has found his way! Oh, then it is in the light I say: "He's found his way! He's found his way!" Frank I Stanton. 4 A MERITOIUOVS MOVE. A national organization that is do ing work of a good nature la the United States Civil Service Retire ment League. The object of the or ganization is to improve conditions in the federal civil service and to show the public that it is necessary for the government to pension old employes who have worn themselves out in the government service. Because of the nature of the work carried on by the organization Pres ident Taft has exempted the officials from the rule which forbids employes from lobbying before congress. E. A. Beals, in charge of the weather bureau in Portland, is president of the Oregon branch of the civil service retirement association and in a let ter to this paper he says: "You undoubtedly know that when a government employe has worn himself out through long service he is cast aside as no longer of any use to the government. Private con cerns treat their employees better, and it is thought Uncle Sam should be a model employer. "It is believed that the govern ment itself would profit if a law was enacted providing for superannua tion as the service today is clogged at the top and there is no inducement for young men to enter it. Out of a total commissioned force of 753 in the Weather Bureau there were 70 voluntary resignations during the last fiscal year, and it is quite likely very nearly the same proportion of resig nations occur in other branches of the service." From Mr. Bears letter it is plain there is need of reform along the lines sought. It is manifestly harsh and unjust for the government to dis charge superannuated employes and give them no pay. There should be provision for the retirement of such servants upon partial pay as is done j with aged naval and army officers. There is also an excellent argu ment for the move in the fact that the present system "clogs" the public service throagh permitting men to work too long. The public service would gain by providing for the re tirement of aged employes on par tial pay. With many this last argument will be even more forceful than the plea In behalf of the old employea. The public service should be improved In every way possible. The time will come when the government will deal Jiiore than at present with the indus trial and commercial life of the coun try. We should prepare for thla day by getting the government service In to ahape for newer and more extensive duties. GOSSIPS. ' Miss Jane Addams recently referred to gossips as village Inspectors of moral and a Chicago paper In com menting upon her views takes the position she did not rnc-an to exalt gcaiilp yet meant to show that the gossips serve a useful purpose It I said: "Miss Adifams. as a philosophical student of social conditions, could not fail to be Impressed by the moral dif ferences due to the presence or ab sence of the gossips. Publicity W an antiseptic; in the small town the -sip represents 'public opinion,' or creates it There Is wholesome fear, una ieur ut-irra and restrains. In the great, busy city, with its flats, lodging houses, hotels, amusements, c owds. the armies of boys and girls that have little or no supervision are dai'y exposed to temptat'on and trial." But while gossips may do good work as censors of personal conduct it Is also true they frequently do vast harm. When gossip Is confined to truthful channels all Is well. But it is peculiarly susceptible of abuse and when there are sinister minded peo ple in the gossipping brigade look out. Many a fair name has been dragged in the dirt through an idle tale started by an enemy. It is a re gretable fact that evil reports are often given more consideration than the facts warrant. In Kansas not long ago a band of men tarred and feathered a young woman who had been given a very ursavory reputation by the village people. The district attorney upon ai. Investigation found the girl to be of very good character and he de clares the reports against her were the work of jealous gossips. Gossip may be used for evil as well a.-- for good purposes. WOULD JAIL THE LAWYER. Governor Marshall of Indiana has a new idea in trust busting: "Some lawyers," he said, "assume that their duties to their clients In volve the right for them to be parties t' criminal transactions. They should be held equally responsible. "This would be a step in the so lution of the 'big business' problem. Lawyers should be made assessorles before the fact, for a corporation's violation of the anti-trust laws. In case the tru-t is proven guilty the j lawyer should also, the same as a drug clerk who knowingly sells poison for a murder." Lawyers may not like the sugges tion of Governor Marshall but It is a suggestion that contains "more truth than poetry." Whoever scatters dynamite caps about the streets is either very care less or very malicious. A horse strik ing such a cap would probably lose a leg and the same, fate might befall as introduced m NY E(lav& Erlanger's big musical farce mm ith wi a human being should a person step upon a cap in Just the right way. Who ever has dynamite caps' to spare should throw thctn in the river or else eat them. If the various reports and rumors are true the progressives have Taft upon the run and the worst feature of the matter from- his standpoint is that he does not know where to head for.

Pity looked out of a window- and spied Man w'ith his hat in his hand; Motionless Wreck of a swift human tide Man with his hat in his hand. Justice peered over her shoulder and said: "Yonder is the bane of the land Shlftlessness claiming its proportion of bread Man with his hat in his hand." "Oh, he is crippled," moaned Pity in tears; "Surely we must understand Offspring of squalor through limitless years Man with his hat in his hand." "Close your eyes, Pity, for are we not just, Temperate, equable, bland? Battle of life fairly fought in the dust, Man with his hat in his hand." "Pray you, make way," spoke a calm voice above, "Mine Is an act of command. Here Is my shoulder, lean on it, I'm Love Man with your hat in your hand." N. P. Babcock. x . THE MOST UNILXPPY KING. At eighty-one years of age Francis Joseph, whose Illness is reported, is by far the oldest of living monarchs and the sole public link between mod ern Europe and the Europe of reac tion after Napoleon's downfall. Francis Joseph gained his crown Dec. 2, 1848, when thrones in Europe were rocking in rebellion. His own was saved by Russian troops defeat ing his subjects In revolt. Elsewhere some liberalizing effect remained as the fruit of revolution, but Austria, was held by tool like the "butcher Haynau" in the tyranny that Metter- nach had fostered. The young mon arch was the best hated of living men hated in Northern Italy, Hungary, Bohemia, Slavonia, as the embodiment of a harsh alien rule; hated In Austria as a tyrant; hated in Germany as the obstacle to a united Fatherland. SING AY in next Saturdays issue, of the East Oregonian We' 99 MdNTYRE Francis Joseph was still1 the great est figure in Central and Western Eu rope. He was the natural head of the Holy Roman Empire, if reconstituted. But Northern Germany could not tol erate an empire in which Austria snouia ruie tnrougn tnirty minion no-1 German subjects. This was the sistible conflict that humbled the Em peror. The Austrians were driven out of Italy with the help, successively, of France and Prussia. They were beat en by Bismarck and Moltke. The Hungarians took advantage of their defeat to gain independence. Francis Joseph was cheated of his share of the spoils in Schleswlg-Holsteln. He has become a junior partner of the Ger man Empire, following Bismarck's prophecy of expansion eastward until half of the people in his ill-cemented country are Slavs and only one-fifth Germany. The private life of thl8 "hopeless Hapsburg" has been as sad as his pub lic career. His Queen and his heir both died tragic deaths. His succes- cor chafes for opportunity to put into effect policies the Emperor fears. He Is perhaps more nearly popular with all his people than during most of his sixty-three years' reign, but he is worn with strife, dissension and defeat. He It the most unhappy of kings.
