A pleasant smile, a hearty handshake, a kind word, costs you nothing and adds to the happi ness of many. Let this genialty come from the heart. To have the' good will of the people, to know they are glad when you enter their presenae, wlli be your reward. "Nobody in a right frame of mind can take pleasure in knowing that his coming casts a cloud over a company. Joy in life is not so abundant that one can afford to quench any of it. A genial 'good morning' has more in fluence than cold perfunctory greet ing. Let heart talk to heart. "Do not fear losing respect by being genial. If your character i3 worthy of respect, you will deserve it, and if you are sincerely genial, you will win good will, and even love. Have a thought for the littie flame of glad ness that may be in the breast of one near you. Be genial and t fan it to greater warmth and brightness." This little bit of advice has been tried and proven. If our city folk will read, heed and practice its les sons of good will they will do more than by any other means to help build up the beautiful city we have, beautiful by nature Climate unsur passed resources unexcelled. A news item from Salem states that 3000 children of Wasco County will each raise at least 30 hens during this spring, or a total' of at least 90, 000 hens. At least 200 eggs per an num per hen, the state will produce during the twelve months following maturity about eighteen million eggs more than during the previous period of like duration, or 1,500,000 depen at an average yearly price of 25 cents per dozen, say $375,000 rnore from egg fruit than yet produced. This is a valuable addition to the product of any district and Wa3co county is to be congratulated upon the prospects, with the hope that results will be as expected. Clackamas County has better cli mate, better everything than other parts of our beautiful state and it it to be hoped that school children here wil not be outdone- by their Southern cousins. Why not raise 150,000 hens here? Just think of the shipments of stored eggs coming into our state every year, and yet we just sit aside, wonder at it, and pay the price. 30,000,000 eggs, or 2,500,000 dozen egg3 more produced here, would bring greater returns ia gross sales than many factory pay rolls.

Extremists in his own party could criticise President Talt's administra tion with better grace if they had done anything to make the work of the president and his associates more effective by helping to pass legislation for the common good. Instead, their attitude was one of obstruction. President Taft was strongly for substantial tariff reductions when his first congress met.. He wanted to go down to a $2 duty on paper and Chair man Payne voted for this figure rather than cause a split. The president con sulted Senator La Follette as to the amount of duty needed on paper and he thought $2 was too low for imme diate application and wanted a sliding scale of duties from a higher rate. As it was, a compromise was effected on $3.75. - Gifford Pinchot prides himself on being both Progressive and Insurgent; yet when President Taft wanted free lumber, Gifford Pinchot threw his in fluence into the scale for the retention of a $2 duty on lumber, instead of backing the effort to put it on the free list. The best the president could Set was a $1 duty. Insurgents Block Railroad Bill. President Taft was seriously hin dered in getting the railroad bill through by the Insurgents, who ex- 1 . 1 . - AA i " : l ii VI ti ;vt SSL fe-i--vV4 j? : if P r iftfifii---- ""- PRESIDENT TAFT'S SALUTE TO 0REG0NIANS, TAKEN IN PORTLAND ON HIS LAST TRIP TO THE COAST. eluded some useful limitations upon the railway companies. President Taft, recommended that no railroad be allowed to acquire stock of a com peting company. He recommended also, in accordance with the Repub lican platform, and Mr. Roosevelt's frequent recommendation, that com peting railroads be permitted to make thirty-day agreements as to the rates they would charge between common points, from which either party could recede at will. The Insurgents insisted on throwing out both these features. "Although my proposals were progressive," said President Taft, "I accepted a half loaf rather than no bread, and signed the bill." ' There was another interference with the president's railroad pro gramme by the Insurgents. He want ed to have the companies prohibited from issuing securities without the approval of the Interstate Commerce Commission. This- the Insurgents, rith the aid of the Democrats, finally defeated. . Postal Savings Bank Attacked. ' The postal savings bank was a measure for the benefit of the whole people, offering as it did an absolutely safe custodian for savings.- But the senate Insurgents did their best to taick on an amendment that would have left the president no' escape i from a veto. They wanted toj'take It Was a Real Idea, Scoop, But You'll 1 ' 9m y 7 down" the deposits in the neighbor hoods where they were made, forbid ding the government to remove the money except in an emergency of war. The president regarded this as intolerable because it would have greatly interfered with' its ability promptly to meet its obligations. It was only beaten by mustering votes of the regulars and then it was a close shave. "In spite of such handicaps," said President Taft, "I did secure tariff reductions on a number of items, in cluding several raw materials. I in duced Aldrich to cut down his amend ed cotton schedule about 10 per cent. I made a like attempt with wool, but It wouldn't work in either house. I got hides on the free list, and a lower duty on coal, iron ore, and scrap iron. If the Payne bill had passed the sen ate in the shape in which it passed the house, there would have been little serious censure of it in the country at large." " ' DEMOCRATS REFUSED HELP They Declined to Aid President in Tariff Revision. Criticism of President Taft and his administration comes with very poor grace from the Democrats. His own party reproached him for bringing two Democrats into his cabinet, Dick inson and MacVeagh. He has stood strongly for a tariff board and tariff revision by schedule, something that both Democrats and Insurgents have gone on record for in their speeches. President Taft's first pledge when he was elected to office was to reduce the tariff; yet the Democrats tried to block every move he made in that direction and fought him tooth and nail. When he took office, he. regard ed the platform of 1J08 as something to be carried out during his adminis tration, and it committed the party to tariff revision. President Taft found he could not hope for assistance from the Democrats and that he had to get his support from Republicans whom he could win over to his point of view. ' "I have no fault to find," v he said, "with either Democrats or Insurgents for trying to reduce any duties they chose. What I object to is disturbing the business of the country; today, when there is nothing better than guess work to proceed upon, and then disturbing it afresh six -months later when the best available information is before us. "I do not join in the charge of in consistency against the Democrats for compromising with La Follette on the wool schedule instead of standing by their own figures. If they could not get all the reduction they asked "for, they were justified in taking what they could get. My chief criticism of their tariff activities was that they were willing to send to me legislation so crude and ill-digested that they must,have known, if they had paused to think, that I could not possibly &p prove it," ' ' 1 I M'ALEER'S TONGUE" COST. BROWNS A PENNANT. " "McAleer's sharp tongue cost the Browns the pennant in 1902," said II. L. Hedges of the St Louis Browns recently. "Jimmy was managing the Browns, and Davy Jones was covering right field for the team. One day in Cleve land Jones muffed a fly ball in the ninth inning with two men on the sacks. It cost tbe Browns the game. That night Manager McAleer bawled Jones. "Next day. in Chicago, when the St. Louis club started for the White Sox ball yard Jones was missing. " . "He never showed up. and Billy Maloney went to right field and lost the game for St. Louis. That night we learned that Davy had jumped the Browns and lined up with the Chicago Cubs. He played right field for the Cubs that afternoon. We never plugged that hole in right field until Charlie Hemphill joined the Browns." . " SPICY SPORT CHATS - By TOMMY CLARK. Quite a bit of uneasiness has been aroused by the announcement that Ralph C. Craig, intercollegiate cham pion sprinter and joint holder of the world's record for the 200 yard dash. could not be a candidate for the Olympic team. Craig is such a well Photo by American Press Association. RALPH CRATO IN ACTION. trained athlete that h could readily get " himself into condition with six weeks of hard werk. Without Craig the American team would have to depend upon Gwyn Henry, the youngster from Texas, or some of the other youthful sprinters In the college ranks. The foreign cli mate has such a peculiar effect upos American athletes that the American committee will want at least half a dozen consistent ten second, men to represent the United States in the sprints. - That a player's showing during a season is not always taken as a cri terion of his ability is proved in the case of Lefty George; who was traded by t. Louis for George Stovall recent ly. .Though George won but three games out of thirteen last season, he has been a much sought after man all winter. Nearly every club in the league wanted to make some sort of deal for him. George could not win for the Browns, but he always showed enougtrto cre ate the impression thatunder .changed environments he would make a good pitcher. If George had made a similar showing in a minor league- no scout would have picked him up, but as he worked where all the. club managers could see him he got a reputation with out even delivering the goods. Should George show improved form it would give the Naps two cracking left handers, for Gregg proved last year that he was a pitcher of the high (Est caliber. Here's a stickler: Since 1900 has any combination of three players who follow in batting order had as high, a batting average as Cobb, Crawford and Delahanty had In 1911? Has any such combination scored as many runs as Bush, Cobb and" Crawford la 1911 1 Just think It over. i IfW 4 v-f'.lC: i . 4 - jiwiiwiiw. i. . m . r .. ...T - - "... Have to Come Again MRS.

Young men and women some times assert flippantly that to de ceive or play with the feelings of others is fair enough and does no special harm. Whether- it vitally injures a person's life to have his or her affections trifled with may be a question. But there is no question whatever as to the effect upon the trifler.
