rDcrrM PITV PnilDlTD CRinAY TTTT V R 1904. I I I HOME CIRCLE COLUMN. A Column Dedicated to Tired Mothers as They Join the Home Circle at Eventide. A merry heart brings sunshine, dia parses gioom, lightens labor, cheers the weary, leeBena burdens, brightens life, inspires hope, increases faith, encour ages, lif:s up, buoys the spirit and so happifies life there is continual praise and thanksgiving in living it. .You can make the clock strike before the hour by putting'your hands on it, bnt it will strike wrong. You can tear the rosebud open before its 'time, but tou mav mar the 'beauty . of1 the rose, So'wemay spoil many a'gift or blessing , which God is preparing for us by our 'own eager haste. . He is weaving our lives into patterns of beauty and strength.. He. baa a perfect plan for each. Don t onll at the threads of life Don't hurry the Almighty's plan. We must live by praver in ignorance of life. God's love is the motive of all delay to give us unexpected and surprising blessings. ' Man was made to protect, love and cberisr , not to undervalue, neglect or abuse woman. Treated, educated and esteemed, as she merits, she rises in dignity, becomes tbe refiner, and im parts a milder, softer tone to man. No community has ever exhibited the re finements of civilization and social older where woman was held in contempt arid their rights not properly respected and preserved. Degrade woman and you , degrade man more, pne is the fluid of the thermometer of eociety, placed there by the hand of the great Creator. Mother never for one moment think that your doing is unimportant, even if much of your time is passed in the kitchen. The nobleBt and the wisest live by eating, non-poetic and common bs it may seem . Think, tired house wife, not how your piano-trained fin gers are becoming stiff, awkward and flushed from moulding the "Btaffof life," but consider what the members of your "sweet home" are accomplishing. For instance, the husband is, perhaps, a minister of the gospel, winning souls to Jeeus. Your son is taking high rank in college and your lovely daughter is to go as a missionary, and all of them derive Btremrth of mind, frame and muscle from "mother's table." Are you not doing something indispensible? Your kitchen efforts helps run all the ma chinery of life. What would become o' "home' sweet home" If, in discourage ment, the mothers and home girls cens ed their doing? Out of the well kept homes comes (he noblest 0f our land. It is hot always the husband that brings home keg of molasses or a barrel of sugar that makes home sweet. Home persons seem to feel that, when the recessitieB of the family are pro vided for, their duty is completed, for getting that "Better is a dinner of herba where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith." "A word fitly spo ken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver." Many are afraid to show them selves, "kindly aflectionated one toward another." They shrnk from the possi bility of bing called "soft," but we are told by the best authority that "A aoft answer turneth away wrath." Let love at home always stand with her arms over us, to help lift the burdens that otherwise would weigh us down. Love lights a lamp that glows on when all might be shrouded in gloom. Love, sweet angel, strengthens the wearv and steadies the hand that carries cordial to the suffeiers lips. There are no parents more willing to toil early and late, and more denying in comfort and even necessities, that they may freely expand their Buvinga to educate their children, than those on the farm. No one appreciates the fact more than tnat the world is to ie in fluenced by the abil'ties and knowledge of the coming generation, and that the key note of success is moutul and physi cal education. There has never been a time when the daughter of the home has been so practically considered as a future factor in the world's progress as now. 'Hid pretty Maud Muller raking hay is not the average daughter of our up-to-date farmer; Hhe has been think ing in her own thought and knows some thing more is required than to pose with a rake and look pretty. Neither does she try to capture the old judge, but just marries some loving young man and spurs him on in every way to honeBt victory and buccsbs. A wife luiB written us, "that she has passed into the shadowB because her as sociates dress charmingly and she must he chid plainly, sometimes bordering ontolmlbv." While it Is hard to be conscious that you are not drestied ai another, yet after all the world pays lit tle attention to what von wear. It jour dress is only five cent calico, the soul tuat it enshrines may be made tine by high thinking and plain living, the face ' brightened by a heart full of good cheer, . and you will wear the five cent calico like a queen. As a rule we love the ' ' beautiful, aud we long forjbeauty of per '' son and attractive apparel; while these may be denied you, you can live the '. beautiful, white life. .Too late? No, iu ,' deed I Live in the present; bury the '" past; each day a uew begiuniug. You ' can be better women ; you can make the days brighter (or others ; you can to edu- cat the mind and heart that your good 'qualities will recommend you to your IriendH, who will love you for what you are and not for what you wear. Many mother's wardrobe contains but one dress, that la worn upon all occasions ; but usually this represents tome self denial; possibly the rich clothing that makes tier wardrobe conspicuous by its absence, payi daughter's way to voice culture, or son's to professional life, aud sometimes tbe women, that you envy became of their charming appearauce have ho son or daughter, and thus they too have reason to live In the shadows. The strength and glory of nation - rests for security upon the homes of its people. The strength and power of the homes of people is measured by the character of the women who resiJe in them. Hence, whatever uplifts end strengthens woman makes the nation more Becure. You can correctly meas ure the civilization by their estimate of woman and the position in society held by tier. This statement needs no en largement. Measured by this unerring standard, not since the morning stars sang together in celestial sympathy at the dawn of creation, has there been a time or a country wherein woman held a higher, holier place in the life of the na tion than at this time in this great coun try of ours. This can be said to the im mortal glory of this land. Uur women are the moral and spiritual life of this republic. Iheir intellectual activities are as boundless as their opportunities are gieat. In the realm of literature, of art, of philosophy, in every department of intellectual life they are winning gold en laurelB. But it is in tbe home where woman rules and reignB an uncrowned but royal queen,- superb mistress of hu man destinies; it is here she is tbe real saver of life to this great nation. .

Doan's Kidney Pills make work easier they cure backache; They cure every kidney ill. Mrs. C, Richards, wife of C. Richards, Portland, painter, and living at 671 Mar ket street, says; "Mr. RichardB values Doan's Kidney Pills very highly. He has had attacks of kidney trouble for years, tie is a painte oy traue ano there is no doubt but the turpentine has had more or less effect on his kidneys, as I believe most painters are more or less afflicted with kidney troubles. Last fall he bad an acute attack and when Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to our notice and I got him a box, they so reg ulated his kidneys that relief came in a remarkably short time. 1 have otten heard him express his appreciation of this valuable remedy " Plenty more proof like this from Ore gon Oity people.

West, of Brownsboro, Jackeon county, Vi rites as follows to the Ashland Record: Now that th" voting is done and the election of June, 1904 is a thing of the pant, I feel free to state through your columns that I no longer affiliate with the Republican party. In politics. I have been a Republican since Abraham Lincoln was president. I served in the Union army four years and four months, have an honorable discharge and a cer tificate of promotion in the field signed by Mai. -Gen. A. L. Burnside at Knox ville, Tenn. I believe in a Republican form of gov ernment based on Democratic princi ples, as adopted by Lincoln, Garfield, James G. Blaine and Mc Kin ley true democracy which the old Democratic party forsook in 1857, was adopted by the Republican party in 1800, which guaranteed equal rights to all men, ir respective of race, color or condition of life. Tbe old Democratic party left those principles when it was in power, and, like ancient Rome, scorned counsel laughed at opposition and defied na tions. She had her idol slavery of the black man was her idol, cotton was king gold was her god, and with an eastern devotion she kneeled at the shrine of her idolatry she boasted that England was at her back. It was the despised common laborers of the north that went down and deutroyed the idols of old democaacy. The Republican party today stands just where tne old Democratic party did when Buchanan was president. He could not, he dared not make a move. They declared in the Dred Scott de cision that a colored man had no rights that a white man was bound to respect Today has the laborer, the farmer, the mechanic, tbe small dealer, any rights that the trusts, combines and compan ies are bound to respect? Lopk where you will for an answer and it is, "No, none whatever." Tins system is even worse than negro slavery in its palmiest dayH, for it enslaves both black and white alike, and like the octopus that devil IIbIi throwiug out its Blimy arms, grabbing all. giving nothing, hiding its identity in the fluid of its inky black ness that it may not be seen. These are my natioi al reasons for not atlilia ting with the Republican party, so called. Patent Medicines. A man that compounds or invents something that is just a litlle better tlmn the next best thing, is certainly en titled to the beet share of the protiU to be derived from the sale of the article. So he patents or copyrights to protect his interests. Patented goods are good goods, poor goods are never patented.

At the State Teachers' Association, Jef ferson Myers discussed at some length the "Effect of Schools on Government'. He said in part : "About 1,900 years ago a teacner came into the midst of the.people then on earth. ,He was a.poor carpenter.'s son, and by. his simple methods and homely .illustrations was, ab'e to be-understood by'the most' ignorant, and-his: wisdom was feared'by' the most wise. The example of this good and just teacher, who did so much for the poor and oppressed in their misery, makes the profession which you have chosen a most honored one in ths sight of your fellowmen. "An ignorant people cannot carry on self-government. Monarchical and aris tocratical forms of government are better maintained by keeping their subjects in ig norance, but in the democratic form it is necessary t ) educate the citizens. In I848, in the organization of the Ore gon territory, Congress gave its first sup port by a donation of the 16th and 36th se-tions of land in every township, to be sold and the proceeds placed in an irreduci ble school fund. This has been followed in all the western states by the granting of this privilege upon their admission to statehood. Ihe interest on this tuna is distributed among the schools of each state in proportion to the number ot school children. However, this is only a small part of the money actually needed to carry on our school system, the largest part being raised by direct taxation upon all property . "The constitution of the United States is the fundamental law of our country. It is the duty of every citizen to maintain this law. Disobedience is unpatriotic and tieasonable. The prosperity of this coun try is labor and the American people ate a laboring people Ourlaws prote.-.t labor and industry from foreign competition, and a good government secures to laoor tne means of education and society. The highest object of all government is the administration of justice The natural rights are life and liberty, together with their necessary conditions. Nj govern ment has as yet fully reached this objeJ, nor has it been wholly true to the princi ples upon which it was founded, but on the other hand evil never yet gained entire control over any community. The condi tions of all government are a struggle be tween right and wrong, and that govern ment which educates its people to an un derstanding of its principles is the one in which right and justice wiil prevail and the greatest sood be obtained. "It seems to have been file belief In the early history of our government that in affairs of state the judgment of men was better than that of women. Many women of our country do not hold this to be sound doctrine. They have struggled for years to gain equal recognition with men, but their efforts thus far have met with little success. In the states of Colorado, Utah, Idaho and Wyoming they are equal, but in the states where large population exists, the voting Is done solely by the men. I am of the opinion that this is wrong and I believe that under our constitution all per sons are considered free and equal 1 fa vor this equality also for the further rea son that In states where women have re ceived the privileges of equal rights, that the services for which they receive about 60 percent of what men are paid in other states, are paid for at the same rate. "The greatest danger which threatens this nation today is corruption. The country is becoming so rich that large funds are taken tor this purpose. The man or woman who would sell their vote is contemptible, also the one who would buy it, and yet there are many men who will sell their votes as often as a purchaser will take them. The dishonest should be dis franchised for all time to come. Teachers cannot Impress upon their pupils a more important lesson than to Jeal honestly with all affairs of government. The government of this land can only exist and protect you and your property through the support of honest and capable men and women. I do not believe that any power can ever destroy our government, unless it be corrupted by our various officeholders. "You should Instruct your pupi's on humane points. It should be the aim of the teacher to impress upon the pupils the provisions of law in regard to the destruc tion of birds and innocent animals, and to teach them to look after the welfare of the dumb creatures. "In conclusion, permit me to extend to you my hearty congratulations on the success of your work within our own state. I am proud of the fact that the women of the state of Oregon stand first in the educational statistics of the United States, and that the male portion of the popula tion is only a very small percentage belo'. It is true that your compensation is not perhaps what it should be, though it is also true that a large majority of yaur fellowmen receive much less in proportion upon which to suppott their families than even you do now. I shall never complain nor remonstrate against a better compen sation for yout services, and I trust that the'time mav come when vou may receive a regular salary such as any other public officer receives." Night Was Her Terror. "I would couch nearly all night long," writes Mrs. Cn.ts. Applegate. of Alex andria, lnd., "and could hardly get any sleep. I had consumption so bad that if I walked a block 1 would cough frightfully and spit blood, but, when all other medi cines failed, three i.00 bottles of Dr. King's New Discovery wholly cured me and I gained 58 pounds."
