Have you been on the firing line Where life tesU all f us common and fine To see If we sing or worry and whine. To see If we stand in our place and fight Where the bullets alng and the bayonets bite, And the world is against, us. and dark and drear The wings of our deatlny hover near, And down through the shad- ows we dream of light? Boston Post The esteemed journal saya the Rlt i.er bill to district the railroad com mission is the Eastern Oregon .the first step Needs Representation, towards b r caking down confidence in the railroad com mission. Not so. The argument for elect ing commissioners at large and not by districts falls down from the fact the Interests of all .parts pf the state are not in common. There are times hen the Interests of a great ter minal like Portland differ from the interests of the small cities' and towns of the state. In the past all over the country there has been too much rate making to suit big terminals and not enough for the smaller places. There is a well grounded suspicion now that the Oregon railroad commission is con trolled by Portland. Election of com. missionert at large meant Portland control and that Portland will get what It wants though the rest of the state may suffer. This cannot well be denied. . . Tet the Rltner bill is not unfair or antagonistic to Portland. Portland would still have a member on the board. The city also has powerful commercial organizations with abil ity to get fair play and more for that city. The Portland press is the dom inating political factor In the state With the districting plan . In effect Portland would be amply protected but in addition the other sections of 'iti!liiiiiiiiiih!!lill!liiiii?i et - - The m m r : E hr:. COSY TODAY The Duplicate Husband Three Parts The Strange Story of Jean Brunt' Who Assumed the Appearance, and Took up the Life of a Man who was dead and buried. "STOCKINGS" Comedy the state would have distinct repre sentation on the board which they do not have now. The rural sections comprising eastern Oregon and south ern Oregon need such direct repre sentation because these sections are not organized as Is the Portland dist rict and are not In shae to protect their interests. The Journal thinks the railroad commission now has the unbounded confidence and esteem of the state. It is mistaken. There are numerous fairly well Informed people who hon estly don't know whether the com mission is regulating the railroads or the railroads are regulating the com mission. From an eastern Oregon standpoint there Is room for com plaint and for questioning. The rate on wheat from Pendleton to Port land a distance of 22i miles, water grade, is the same as the Northern Pacific rate to Seattle a distance of 307 miles, over the Cascade moun tains. The rate on cattle from here to Portland. 225 miles, is the same as the O.-W. R. & N. rate to Seattle via. Portland, a distance of 411 miles. If those Seattle rates are profitable, as they must be, Is not too much being charged for the water grade haul to Portland? Why Is that permitted? not limited by racial lines, and that Americans have not forgotten the days when Polish patriots fought on American battlefields to establish this nation's freedom. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Those who advocate a state law taxing auto trucks or auto buses as a regulatory step lack a Regulation, proper conception of the principle on which reg ulation is based. Railroads are regu lated because by the nature of things they have a monopoly and were it not for regulation they could oppress their patrons. When autos are used for carrying passengers or freight the business la on a highly competitive basis. There is no monopoly because any man with a small capital can get Into the business.!: Therefore com petition may be relied upon to guar antee Just rates by these carriers and It would be fundamentally wrong to empower any commission to regulate their rates while this real competiti on exists. However, It would be pro per to exercise reasonable regulation over their service so as to protect the Interests of patrons. . Regulation is in tended for the public protection but people need to beware or the prln- standpat prosperity and standpat good times?? O. O. P. spellbinders on this side of the line, while attributing all the en couraging things in our own situation to the war, assert that every Indica tion of lessened activity Is an unques tionable result of the tariff.

CURRENT THINKING MIZP.11. (Ry Clement Scott.) And Laban said. This heap Is a Witness between me and thee this day. Therefor was the name of it called Galeed and Mlapah; for he said. The Lord watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from anoth er. Gen. xxxl: 48, 4. When we are parted pray! but do not weep; My spirit in the air Is wandering; Love Is an hour of life; with death comes sleep; The night's a dream; the day a wakening. The Lord watch over us where'er we stray, One from another, be It night or day. Be this our covenant apart, alone. Carve thou our sign upon Love's al tar stone, Mlzpah! Whilst we are waiting hope, but do not grieve; There Is some sunshine on the dark est day; Around Love's monument fresh gar lands weave; Despair not thou, my heart bui only pray! The Lord watch over us, 'twlxt me and thee, When we are absent. If we parted be. Be this our covenant, by faith alone, Carve thou this sign upon Love's altar-stone, Mlzpah! LITTLE BOBRIK'S PA. 1 had a fite with a kid at skool yesterday & after we had fought for a little while I llkked him. The nalm of the kid was Brlcktop Moran. & after we calm In from recess the teecher said that I wud have to apol ogize to Brlcktop & I said I wuddent bekaus he started the fite. & then the teecher sent me home & sed that I mussent cum back until I made up with Brlcktop Moran, but I won't malk up with him and that Is what I toald Pa St Ma wen I calm hoam. I think you are malklng a mlstalk, Bobble tier, sed Ma, yoti shud go back to skool in the morning & tell yure little skoolmate you are sorry ou llkked him & shake hands with him like a littel man. Nothing of the kind. Bobble, sed Pa, doant you apo-logtze to him a bit I used to lick on a average of one kid a day wen I was at skool, sed Pa, 8c it wua always one of them that calm to me & did the apo loglzing. Pa sed. To the vlck-tor beelong the spoils & doant, you apo-loglze to Brlcktop. Make him cum & see you, sed Pa. that is the way to be a chip of the old block that newer took off his hat to anybody. . . That's no way to Instruck our Utile son, sed Ma, it is the gentel and noa bel part of a man that promps him to feel sorry after he has won a vie tory. You ought to tell him that the surest way to lern to be a true man Is to tell yure enemy wen wou have hurt him that you are sorry. That Is molly-coddle stuff, ed Pa. I dldent do anything like that. I used to maul up thare faces some- ining nerce wen tney crossed my path and I newer went around took back anything I sed or did, Pa toald Ma. I know, sed Ma, but you remember that butlful oald poem which bee gins: Speek gentely. It Is better far To rule by love than feer; The good we may do here. Speek gentley, let no harsh word mar Speeic gentlely to the little child, Its love be sure to gain; Teech it In accents soft A mild, It may not Jong ree-maln. That la the way I want littel Bob ble to speak to his littel frend Brlck top Moran, sed .Ma. I wuddent back water for anybody, sed Pa. Jest then the doorbell rang A a big tall red headed man calm In. My nalm Is Moran, he sed. Red Mo ran they call me down to the docks. My littel son tells me that yure boy won a fair fite with him today ft I want to shake hands with the yung ster that can lick my Denny. I taught him to fite myself, & then he shook my hand. Now you see, sed Pa, grit Is al ways admired. I knew It. One mlnnit, sed Mister Moran, I understand that yure son toald my son after he had llkked him that his father cud do the salm thing to ma That is why I dropped around.

This picture, by the Bentitown Bard, has Its evry-day heart-appeal: "There Is a little child Kissing Its mother In a still room. Where the soft shadows flicker, And silence pervades the gloom Except for their chatter And the cozy speech Of the twilight moment together They utter each to each. They await a familiar figure Coming along the street. And nrms are ready to clasp him. And Hps are ready to greet And I say that the whole world over. If there were nothing In life but this. It would be worth while ten thou- sand tles To toll for such a little child. Grievances and bable grow with nursing. WHAT'S THE MATTER CANADA? WITH (St. Louis Post-Dispatch.) Canada's status aa a belligerent re mote from the theater of the fighting might be expected to, give her a maxi mum of the benefits of war resulting from its artificial stimulus and a min imum of its disadvantages. But curiously enough the state of affairs In the Dominion Is strikingly similar to that in this country. In dustrial depression prevails except In centers devoted to tie making of war materials. Cities are struggling with a problem of the unemployed. The earnings of railroads are falling off. Reduction In the wages of workers Is said to be Imminent But Canada has had no new free dom legislation. It has not revised the graft out of Its protective tiiriff.
