E. W. BinohaM, of Portland, has
dratted registry law which in the
form of a bill will come before the leg
islature. Mr. Bingham is the man
who did more than any other man to
fee tire the Australian ballot law for
Oreeon. and a registry law from his
bands is worthy of consideration.
register; law is needed and the pros
pects are bright for one.
FCOPLl who think that our presi
dents ought to be chosen by popular
vote should find food for reflection in
the statement-from Austin that during
the last week of November the state
returning board was counting the vote
of Texas, and that even so long after
election as the 1st of December the
figures had not been received at the
caDital from six counties, says the
New York Post. Fancy the condition
of the country after an election like
that of 1880, when Garfield received
114 electoral votes and Hancock 155,
if the public bad been obliged to wait
a month or more for the full returns
from Texas in order to learn which
candidate bad a plurality of the popu
lar vote the final count in that year
abowing 9,464 more for Garfield than
for Hancock in the 'whole Union.
Think, too, of the temptation that the
democratic officials who always com
pose returning boards in Texas would
have had to throw out 10,000 republi
can rotes in that stale in order to
leave Hancock ahead in the whole
eon n try the recent count at Austin
having been made behind closed doors
by the goernof, secretary of state, and
attorney-general, without the presence
of a single representative.
BETTER SO ADS.
Speaking in a collective sense, the
. Wealth of a nation is measured by the
extent of its products and the prosper
ity of its producing classes. Essential,
therefore, it must be, that anything
that tends to lessen labor and lessen
distance between the porducer aad his
market, is to be studied thoroughly,
and every means at hand attainable
employed to reach the desired end.
How much better must it be for the
fanner, then, who lives on a road upon
Which at any season of the year he
' can haul a load of 1500 or 2000 pounds
to market, than it is for hie neighbor
farmer who goes by another road upon
which he can haul that same load on
three months in the year, and the
other nine months is compelled to
wade mnd at about two miles an hour
in , reaching town with an empty
vehicle. '
Every disease has its remedy, and
the disease of "neglect of opportunity
to improve roads" must of necessity
find its positive point in "realization
of wasted energy. Une shrewd re
former of road work once remarked :
"Pass a law compelling every super
visor te own and ride a bicyle, and I'll
guarantee that in an incredibly short
space of time the roads will reach a
desired state of perfection."
That would, of course, prove a salient
point, for there are no "good road"
cranks like bicyclists. But there are
other methods. For instance, could It
not be attained to a certain extent by
the newspapers and people alike, bring
ing the matter before the people so
that methods of road-building would
become a subject for discussion at
every time and place.
Thb Mist has always taken a great
interest in this subject, and has noted
with pride the work of some super-
visors of Columbia county, and de
plored the lack of system in others.
That the question should be thor
oughly discussed, there is no question,
and it One method of working the roads
has proved better than another, every
supervisor in the county should
know it.
Thb MteT will devote space to dis
cussion of this subject, and every
supervisor in the county is invited to
explain hie system of road building,
Mnd thus let the. others secure new
ideas. Others also invited to contrib
ute to the department, and it is the
hope of The Mist that the discussion
of the subject will result in a more j
ystematiied plan of road building in
tbe county. It is not a matter to be
treated lightly, for on good roads de
pends the prosperity of Columbia's
farming community.
A HAPPY NEW YEAR.
t d you my kind reader, whoever you
are, as we take your hand in a friendly
clasp, and ait down face to face, speaking
reverently of tbe old (lead year and dream
ing cheerily of the bright new one Just
ushered Into the breathing world by morn
ing herald, blushing rose red upon the cold
and dreary face of nature. It matters not
where we panne, so the wild wind that wails
for the departed piercej not our outer gar
ments, chilling our beating hearts with tbe
desolation of stern uncompromising pov
rty, whose bitter teachings are as relent
less as the wintry storm, beating pitilessly
against the creviced homes of poverty and
rags, and alas! of shameless remorseless
sin. " -. .
The eld year is gone, Wtth its dreams
its glorious, spring-time dreams its
nwgeoua autumn, flushed with the wine of
plenty, and tbe bleak, bare desolation of
November. Yes, tbe year is dead; sleeping
dreamlessly with the long line of pale lowly
ones, that swept past us with their golden
waves of sunshine, their dropping tears
through waves of silver-edged clouds, and
the lonjr hours of silence and darkness
when we thought the dawn would never
never break for us again. De.id I We say
dead, when we look upon the Culd elay of
our beloved; when the terrible conviction
steals upon ns with irresistible force and
we know that the eyes will never unclose to
our mortal vision ; that those lips, so white
and still, will speak no more in low, loving
accents; that the grave will hide the clay
tbe unconscious clay that we loved, even In
its chilly, mute ghastliness, and we say
dead now. Did your eyes shed no tears
when the last strokes of the midnight bell
died away and tbe year 1896 lay cold and
pale, stretched on a snow-white bier, and
the wind whirled down on the spotless
sheet the weathered leaves that had forgot
ten to drop before t Did yoo hold no tryst
with memory then, sending your spirit
back into tbe green shadowy nook by the
wayside, where you dreamed very pleasant
dreams in the year gone by, going thence
with a clearer, calmer reliance on the A I'
mighty arm that sustains and guides us
along the pathway of earth's existence f
Did yoo not feel a deeper adoration for that
all-perfect wisdom leading you by the and
sands of life only that your eyes might see
an added loveliness in the green oasis isles
beyond? Did you not thank God that there
bad been some clouds scudding across tbe
azure overhead, that tbe calm, unruffled
skies might look serene and brighter by the
welcome oontrast? I ask you, child of
affluence, sitting cosily wrapt in the dreamy
shadows of your luzurous rooms where the
eye drinks in its full of beauty with every
wandering survey, with you we look back
into tbe mazy paths over whose beauty and
decay is thrown the misty veil loving spirits
wears to soften our sorrows past and give
a silvery radiance to our joys forever lied.
Ah I but yon bare seen moments in that
old dead year when your soul went out in a
cry of agony; fevered for a cooling draught
from the sweet fonntain of peace ; hungered
for a morsel from the tree of eveilasting
life. There have been hours when all the
glitter and pride of those crowded saloons
had no power to hush a single wild throb
bing of your heart; when tne lonely spirit
were better mated with the rocks and trees
and dancing, waters down some richly
clothed ravine than with those banghty
hollow souls. There tbe rushing of waves.
the soul-sighing of winds through the grand
old trees, and the erratic songster's broken
warble like a half-formed chant of a newly
ransomed spirit would bush to peace in
audible beatings, the strong, quick throbs
of world-warning passions. , You have en
vied the plow-boy on yon hillside the
coarsely clad rustic who whistled and sang
all day at his labor and you thought be
was dreaming of the years when he could
count bis acres of rustling corn, his wide
meadows, broad pasture fields, and noble
woodland crowning the heights beyond.
You could not see tbe ha If -defined Images
that floated through his brain, as his fancy
roved far, very far from the stretch of blue
sky girdling his native hills. He was dream
ing of tbe Kile; dreaming of the pyramids
arising from Egypt's gleaming sand,
wondering if Memnon's statue played now
at sunrise, and saying in his secret soul:
"These feet shall stand in ths shadows of
those ponderous piles and tread the shores
of the majestic rivers. Hasten years; bear
me on to manhood; my soul is impatient of
its fleshly leashing strings. I would stretch
my wings like a bird and look down from
higher than mountain tops upon the varied
scene below. Roll on glorious seasons ;
burst into beauty and bloom, and fade away
as the yellow-eyed violet withers and dies
before my steel-pointed plow." Thus he
was dreaming of more thaa broad acres
and white-walled cottages, whence be could
gaze upon tbe wood, (be glancing stream
let, and the dewy corn when the sun rose
splendent upon the world in the fresh June
mornings. His dreams may be vain and
bis feet may pause on the verge of a lonely
grave long ere his hastening footsteps have
reached life's meridian height and his eyes
feasted on the sublimity and grandeur and
loveliness of another hemisphere.
But it were a sin to envy that boy his
peaceful dreams. Your restless soul might
have the sweet content that makes hi life
the feast it is, would you only bend to the
band lifted above' you, apd say "Whatever
thou sendetb me, O God, that will I take to
my bosom; murmuring not if there be sting
ing pain in the contact, for I know that far
away from this clouded existence a brighter
life shall flow aronnd my spirit; there shall
all my fever thirst be allayed ; there shall
my hungered soul feast on ambrosial nec
tar and work out tbe mighty mystery of
eternal years." "A bruised reed He will
not break." Be pliant under the Master's
band: drink of the cup that is held to your
quivering lips; turn notaway loathing even
though tbe bitter dregs mingle with tbe
honeyed flow. Give no vain regrets for the
old dead year; turn to the new with a
chastened soul, resolved to bind up the
wounds of bleeding hearts. Give bread to
the hungered; set your cup of cold water
by the roadside where the wayfarer, tired
and thirsty from the heat and burden of
the day, shall lift it to his parched lips and
go on blessing the giver for more than grains
of shining gold. Be not lifted up by wealth
or station; go into yonder churchyard and
know that you shall lie as lowly as those
dream-sleepers; that the daisy will nod
above your head, unconscious that the spirit
deemed its clay of finer mould than the
ashes of those tombs unmasked by monu
mental marble. Bay not to the erring, "I
am holier than thou ; the hem of my gar-;
ment may not touch your contaminated
self; stand aside from my pathway and let
me pass." God gives his sunlight to such
even. He withholds not the dewy shower.
nor withers the wild blossom in their path.
You cannot look into those darkened souls
and see the temptation that assails with
such resistless force, the weak will conld
but buccumb. Better take meat by the!

ST. HELENS SCHOOL NOTES.
Director Miles visited school Tuesday j
afternoon.
G. A. Hall visited Salem this week, at
tending the Slate Teachers' Association.
School was favored with a call from Mr.
Godfrey, of the bay, Monday forenoon.
We understand that tbe Houlton school
will commence immediately after the holt-
days.
During vacation tbe blackboards will be
repainted, which will add greatly to their
utility.
Last week there were examinations in
reading and primary hittory, spelling and
geography.
We would be thankful to any of the read-
ei s of Tbi Mist if tbey notice from time to
time any questions answered wrong to let
us know, so they can be corrected.
Two pupils of this school will finish the
grammar school course, corresponding to
that given iu the Portland schools, and ar
rangements have been made so they will
enter Portland High school, beginning
with the spring term.
The questions for this issne were asked
by the following pupils: Marie Dufour,
Pearl Decker, Myrtle Newell, Flora George,
Anna George and Wilbur Muckle. They
are good questions, and reflect credit upon
the pupils asking them.
In noticing the course ot study of the
Clatskanie high school we see that it in
eludes Greek and Latin. It has been demon
strated time and again that to fit pupils for
practical life, as the public school is sup
posed to do, that Greek and Latin have no
place for it. We were surprised to learn that
such studies were taught in the school of
that place. To know our own language
well is far better than to have a smattering
of some other langnage, and not be able to
use our own correctly. Of course Greek
and Latin for pupils who are masters of the
English language are of great benefit, but
to teach it to pupils who bave just finished
a common school course is a mistake which
has been fully proven in the past, and which
the patrons of the Clatskanie school will
discern before many months. .
Again we are compelled to notice re
marks and criticisms from Clatskanie in
The Mist, and a little paper called tbe
"Whizzer,"coocerning an article which ap
peared some weeks ago. concerning tbe
project of a high school being erected in
this place. In reply to the article in the
"Whizzer" of the 18th inst., it seems its
author almost exhausts his supply of
knowledge to find words large enough to
express himself so he could' be understood,
and be used a whole column to say what
could have been said in five lines. He
quotes Didorous, Themistocles and other
ancient authorities that nineteen out of
twenty of his readers never heard of, in a
way that causes people to smile. He also
places emphasis on the fact that the school
which judging from tbe article he has
the honor to be tbe head of, "launder
the supervision of as able educators (notice
the capital E) as you will find in any of tbe
larger cities of the state." Of that we have
no doubt, but we once beard that "self
praise is half scandal." As for St. Helens
being the head of Columbia county, that is
a conceded fact, but as for a few people be
ing at the bead of St. Helens, and conse
quently at tbe head of the county, we say
0, no. We concede that the editor of the
"Whizzer" is entitled to that honor. As
for waiting for St. Helens to bave a high
school, just wait until next spring and we
will have the high school building.
ANSWERS TO qilKSTIOKS.
1. Why are senators and representatives

SECTARIAN APPROPRIATIONS.
St. Helens, Dec 29, 1898.
Ma. Editob: As tbe legislature will con
vene in a few days, questions are arising
in peoples' minds as to whether it will fol
low in the earns line as did the last legisla
lure, in appropriating tbe state's money for
tbe support of sectarian and private de
nominational institutions and hospitals.
Upon consultation of House Bill 382, line 72
to 78, of the general appropriation bill
passed by the last legislature, we And that
32,000 were appropriated for hospitals and
private institutions under the supervision
of different denominations and creeds,
which do not pay one cent of tax, yet they
get this immense sum of money for support,
when every one of them are self sustaining
and fully able to exist without support
from taxpayers. The last legislature was
a blot on the 'sir name of Oregon and a
disgrace to the people. Every taxpayer
should keep posted upon the actions of his
representative, and carefully watch bow he
votes and what be votes for. Any mem
ber who votes for appropriations other than
those under the supervision of tbe state
should and will be pigeon-holed and sink
Into obscurity before another election rolls
around
It is a crying shame that the lawmaking
powers of a state can be hoodwinked, bought
and coerced into appropriating the hard
earned money of the taxpayers for the sup
port of any institution not under state con
trol. For example, at Beaverton, in Wash
ington county, there Is situated an orphan's
boms and convent, which bas 1000 acres of
land of tbe finest quality some 100 acres
being beaverdani-f jr its support, and sot
paying ons cent of tax until this year for
the last ten years, not even being on the
tax roil until recently, when tbe property
was assessed and sold at sheriff's sale for
taxes, and suit was brought in the circuit
court against the sheriff to recover,
and to exempt It from taxation ; but thanks
to a just decision by the judge of that dis
trict, it had to pay its share of tax, as it
should, yet the last legislature, through the
eftorts of one of tbe representatives from
Washington county, appropriated $4000 for
its support. Now the question arises, how
do the people know whether one cent goes
for the benefit of those to whom it was in
tended or in the capricious pockets of
those who have charge of said Institutions.
If tho legislature must appropriate the
people's money in such a way why not pass
a law to have the governor appoint an in
spector to see that ths money be PNPr1'
expended for ths purpose m m
