You who seek fame, as other fools seek fortune, 'what would the mouth-deep praise of men avail you that last daVr Sweeter, then, than world-wide acclaim would be the heart-laugh of a child whom vou .had made triad, for that would sing itself into your soul and become a chord in the choir invisible. You who strive for power, could your palsying arm and reeling brain on that last day hold aught of that to avail beyond the mystery, where all t)ie power of the earth is impotent' You who love your leisure and your case, would" you placidly await that all-eclipsing night with hands empty of accomplishment and heart void of purpose' T 1 XI. 1 xo: no: no: icu tnousaiui nines no: The gray relentless dawn of that last day would clarify the moral atmosphere of every soul and give clear vision of many things not seen before. The virtues of friends would loom up and obscjiwe the faults that had given ns so much concern. Enmities would be forgot. Dissemblance would die out of the kindly clasp of men. Foul lust would not lurk in the kiss of love. There would be no time that day for hatred, envy, malice, greed or any other passion that degrades. " Must the sun of that day reveal to you a slighted God and a forgotten humanity? Then think you that starving poverty, in human form, gaunt, yellow, ragged, scowling, wolfish that you had re fused to see before you, will not on that one day stalk be fore .you in procession without end? Think you that the rprisons that had caused you no concern could on that day continue to conceal from your conscience the criminal, the fallen, the friendless, whom you had never thought to rescue or restrain? Ah, that one day would be a day of judgment and yon 3'ourself would be forced righteously to judge vour own life. All would be so plain were life reduced to a day! How immeasurably better the world would be if man lived his life for the little (lav that too reallv is! adopted first in Oregon and now known as the Oregon system. It is the backbone of the "insurgency" of today the leavening mass in politics, the hipe of the masses. The people may protest the people may vote, but it takes many years under our absurd system to accomplish any reform. We have elected a house of representatives to enact a ilew tariff law; the members will devote months to weary debate anil discussion-all for nothing, for tin senate will nullify anything done, And the weary farce' goes merrily on. We pass laws for regulat iug eoituneree. The.y'al'e dead until, aft,er years, a'piusident is airt'idenlally (jJoufeH who has nerve enough to' enforce them. Then the ltfiiup of the lawvand the dismal swamp of legal technicalities is en tered and finally the courts come to the rescue by reading into the law interpretations that amend it. And so the cause of popular government drags its dreary way. Hut as the airship will event nail v reach perfection, lei ins us hope,' so will the machinery of popular government. anjl when mankind shall have exhausted its inventive pow ers in mechanical contrivances, may they be turned toward bettering the government of men and the condition of humanity.

PEOPLE of Medford Saturday beheld the successful navigation of the air by a man in a heavier-than-air machine. They saw the daring aviator rise gracefully from the ground, circle like an eagle in its flight and dart swiftly to earth like a tired bird. A few, a very few, years ago, such a performance would have made a sensation throughout the world. Now it scar-cely attracts attention. Almost every day records the death of some daring navigator of the air. As yet the art is in its experimental infancy, the airship but little better than a toy to make a holiday for the multitude. Yet its perfection is but a question of a little time and time is on the wing. The world moves very rapidly. But a short while ago, within the lifetime of men not yet past half the scriptural allotment of years, the telephone, the electric light, iw .isf'ljne motor, the automobile, were but the unfulfilled dreyms of visionaries. Half of the comforts regarded as indispensable today were unknown a generation or so ago. The airslnp is perhaps the most remarkable of man's inventions. Todefy the law of gravity, to soar aloft like a bird, to fly in the face of gales, to overcome apparently insurmountable obstacles, is a tasll well 'worth the while. The aviator must have more of daring, more of courage, more' of calmness, more , of skill, than ever was required of knight of old to chargfvin steel armor. Every flight is a tussle with fortune for a' violent death, and' only the brav- and the skillful and the fortunate succeed, even for a little while. And yet, thoi gh swift is the world's progress in things material and commercial, astonishingly small progress litis been made in th'ngs political. Effective reforms creep slo.dv. The airship has not appeared in the political hori zon. While commercial invention has been perfecting the airship, political ingenuity has not yet discovered, or tit least not yet adopted, a way to purify politics, corruption. About the only progress made in half a century in re storing government to the people, has been along paths 1 right in hU selection of Medfuul in 11 location for a musical conservatory. Many people wore skeptical about the mu'oi'sji 0f an institution of this kind outMdo of u large cit : but .Medford is cctitrallv located in a dis trict of unusual character, there be ing more interest taken here in mu sic ami literature than, perhaps, iu any other community on the Pacific coast. Wo ate .-o tar teiaovcd I'mto any largo city that southern Oiegmi looks to Medford for institutions l this character. The C'on'seivalor.y has been running bat nine .mouths and has enrolled 70 pupils, not count ing double entries, whore pupil have taken more than one term. Profes sor Taillaudier laid intended tnkini a trip to Kurope, but the demand loi a summer term set mod to bo so j;en oral that he ha decided to continut without a vacation, and tin I'onser vrttory will remain open as usiia' throught the entire summer, with Hi x 111 1 111101a omuacners. aliments en t'liit ios. nf private The con tinuance of tho (mMrvnloi,v tu Med ford is so well assured that plans ate being consideied for enlarging its at tivitics, including (he employment of a teacher in elocution anil dramatic art. l'lofoSMir'TuillnudiiT cauio' among us without any tlourish of huuipets, bat he has pioveii thai he thorough ly understands his business, and has in a rciunikuhlv slant tune estab lished a peiiuaueul institution that has already passed he.voiid tlio stage of oxpoiimcut. The lemaikabte ad vancement of iustruiiieulal pupil proves Professor Tuilundior's abil ity as an instructor; while, tho sing ers, under .Mr. Andrews, who is in charge of the vacal depot Intent, al reatlv begin to j-lunv a method nnd stylo of singing which prove this lad.v to be an iuMruclnr who thoroughly tindci'nliiiids the placing of 01cc. Many pupils arc being cittollcd lioui outside towns, and there is 110 doubt but that the comim? vear will mole enter at .any time during tho suminci than double this year's enrollment.
