IN THE SEATS It is a strange commentary upon the power of
OF THE MIGHTY human 'greatness, a severe blow to the pride of
place that the body of Timothy Sullivan could have rested for 13 days in
an obscure corner of the morgue in New York City unknown and unrecog
nized by the throngs that daily pass through those corridors until a chance
policeman, befriended in Big Tim's days of power and influence, saw the
remains of the great leader and announced his identity to the custodian of
the place.
Once the dominating factor in the politics of the metropolis and of the
state, the thousands that passed through the halls of the morgue did not see
in him the man whose lead they had followed blindly for the past 10 or 15
years and did not recognize in him the one who had straightened out the
political tangles of that state unerringly during that time.
During his years of power, Sullivan was reckoned as the dominating
influence in the politics of New York state. He controlled the activities of
the Tammany club and directed its energies and influence as he willed.
Without him no campaign was conducted and without his direction no
candidate for office succeeded in gaining the votes of the great following
that blindly adhered to whatever Big Tim told them in matters of politics.
From the waifs and tramps of the Bowery and the East Side to the four
hundred in the fashionable quarters of that city, the people followed the
lead of the boss through all of the years that he took such a part in the
affairs of the Tammany club and the activities of the state and the city
of New York.
The throngs that followed the body of the leader through the streets
for the last time were testimonials of the power that he had over those
with whom he had come in contact. In that long procession were men and
women of every walk in life. The East Side seemed tp turn out to give
the last honors to the leader and the people from the better sections of
the city were as anxious to show their devotion to him as were those whose
friendship he seemed particularly to value and who were proud of their
devotion to him.
Sullivan, seldom took office for himself though his leadership in the
political battles of his day gave him every opportunity to gain honors that
others coveted but he held such a strong hold over such a large proportion
of the city's population that no man of his' political faith could hope to be
successful in his ambitions without the support and influence of the giant
Irishman.
His hold upon the people of his city and state gave him a national
prominence in the councils of the leaders and made him a factor to be reck
oned with in every campaign. A leader of the old school, a follower himself
of the tenets of the Tammany club, he was the most potent factor in public
affairs where that organization weiled an influence and was instrumental in
,' framing the policies and activities of that machinery along the lines that he
believed would be most beneficial to his state and to his friends.
In view of his dominating leadership for so many years it seems all the
more remarkable that none of those who passed through those halls for 13
days in that city should have recognized the body of the boss and that it
'should have remained for a policeman who had once been befriended by that
leader to save his remains from a resting place in the potter's field.
, AGRICULTURAL In all of the farm ing sections of the state, Oregon
LIBRARIES is planting libraries that cover the field of scientifiic
farming and that deal with subjects interesting to every tiller of the soil.
From the man who raises grain and hay in the same ways that they
- are produce in his native states of Iowa or Nebraska to the one who, with
cut experience or training, is attempting to produce an orchard of peaches
or prunes, the new libraries come as a gift of immense value and will soon
. gain a position that, will make them indispensible to the agricultural develop
ment of the state.

Universal Peace Is Assured
By Professor THEOPHILE MANN of Frankfort on the Main, Germany
"I J ORLD peace." How different are the attitudes of men when they
yy hear words like these. Some are totally indifferent or 6mile at
such an idea, and 6ome others sneer at it; others long for uni
versal peace and work for it with all their hearts. WORLD PEACE
IS A HIGH IDEAL, it is true, but it is one of the ideals mankind
cannot get rid of. In all ages there were men who dreamed of a time
of undisturbed peace and happiness, some of them melancholily looking
back npon a golden age of the past irretrievably lost, some hopefully
WAITING FOR A BRIGHT AND PEACEFUL AGE TO COME.
The saints and prophets of the Bible are among this latter group of
men of hope and courage. To one of their number we owe the glorious
words, "They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears
into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation;1 nei
ther shall they learn war any more."
THE PATH TO THIS GLORIOUS GOAL SEEMS LONG AND WEARI
SOME, YET IN SPITE OF THOSE WHO SAY THAT IT IS IMPOSSI

CAUSE IS MOVING ONWARD AND WILL FINALLY BE CROWNED

several hundred volumns that deal
angle and that give the most up to
OREGON CITY,
date methods of agriculture that have been produced in the last decade.
Every angle of the subject is dealt with by men who know, by those who
have made the question their life study and have conducted the investiga
tions and experiments -of which they speak. They are authorities in their
field and their books are ranked high in the wealth of research that has
been devoted to bettering and improving the condition of the farmer in the
w est.
Western agriculture and horticulture are as different from the same
activities in the eastern states as the varied conditions of nature can make
them and the experiments that have been conducted by the experts in that
research field have been along lines not before attempted in the older and
more settled commonwealths of the country.
On the farms and orchards through this and other western states are
many men who have had no training in the country's schools of agriculture,
$'ho have not received the instruction that is now given to the farmer and
orchardist through the movable schools and institutes. To them, these books
ttre of particular interest and for them they will prove beneficial in the pro
duction and marketing of the crops. , "
The farmer of today no longer drops his seed into the ground and trusts
to luck and the rain to bring the crop to harvest. He is scientific in every
way. He has become a student of the conditions under which he works.
He no longer uses as much muscle as he did but backs behind the muscle
and physical effort that he does exert the power of an active and educated
mind. More brains and less muscle has been his slogan for several years
and is rapidly becoming the slogan of every man on western farms.
There is no class of men, either in business or in some elarned profession,
that puts forth more effort or studies more painstakingly the newest ways of
doing things and the best improved methods of meeting conditions than does
the farmer of this state and, generally, of the west. Bulletins sent out by
the experiment stations are not now scanned hurriedly and thrown to one
side but every thought that they contain is digested and what is better
is put into practice as soon as conditions arise that demand solutions of that
kind.
Instructors from the various colleges of the west now know that the
farmers are more well informed and better posted on the recent happenings
of farm development than ever before. They know that when they attend
the movable schools some of the farmers will demand explanations of "state
ments that have been made in recent bulletins and otherwise exhibit an inter
est in the wTork that the colleges are doing for the man on the land.
In- the same way, the libraries that are now being scattered thrugh the
tural communities will prove of material and practical benefit to the farmer
and will teach him those things about his land that have baffled him and
delayed bis crops and that will, eventually, save him money in his produc
tion and marketing accounts.

NOTHING TO LOVE.
Who is the poor man?
Is it be who has nothing of the
world's goods, who must stand by the
side of the road of life and be powder
ed by the dust of his neighbor's auto
mobile or spattered with its mud?
No. He can, move aside from the
pathway and let the rush go past him,
or he can mingle in the strife and win
automobiles for himself.
Neither is it the mau who has little
and is desirous of having more. To
him the same course is open, especially
in this land of opportunity..
The really poor man or woman is
the one who has nothing to love.
It need not he husband or wife or
child or sweetheart. It may he a par
ent or brother or sister or friend, it
may be an adopted child. It may he
all mankind, for there are souls, unfor
tunately rare, who can find it in them
selves to extend their love to ail creat
ed things.
In lieu of somebody or something
better, it may be a cat or a dog or a
bird or a pet animal of some other
sort. It may even be a plant
Something to love every one must
have if the soul isto be kept alive.
The thought was suggested by a
newspaper poem printed a few days
ago. It Tead in part: (
It's pot the bein' old and sick and .losin'
all you've had --
Nor the comln' to the poor'us at the
end.
But the thing that goes the hardest and
the thing that hurts so bad
Is the havin' nothin' left for you to
tend.
Oh. it's not the bed you sleep on. nor the
clothes you get to wear, .
Nor the food to eat when all is said and
done: .
It's the havin' somethln' loite to you and
glad when you come near 7
And the steps a-runnin' out to meet
your own. ; . .
In the-rest of the poem the skillful
writer a woman, by the way tells In
sixonie Inimaeea story of A woman
OREGON. WEDNESDAY,
wuo tended her brothers and sisterf
until they went out Into the world;
then she nursed other children until
they. too. in their turn grew up.
Careless thinkers say ' oftentimes
that only women feel this great urgent
need of having something to love. They
attribute it to the maternal instinct.
Rut ask any man or woman who has
looked ever so slightly into the interior
of the human heart and you will learn
that the feeling is shared by men, by
the worst of men as well as by the
best.
Even the murderer in his cell has
been known toeherish an insect for
want of something better to love. And
the good man knows no greater joy
than to have his own "kiddie" run to
meet him with the glad cry of "daddy."
PROFIT SHARING LABOR.
There must be a motive back
of all labor which will make the.
laboring man take special inter
est in his work He must have
something to look forward to
besides the actual daily wage
which he receives The work
man's idea forty years ago was
uot to avoid work Now. when
more pay and shorter hours re
ceive almost constant attention,
the men are likely to come to
think of these things all the
time. Some of them probably
constantly are thinking of ways
by which they can do as little
work as possible rather than
ways by which they can do as
much as possible. With more
' pay and shorter hours not re
suiting in happiness, it becomes
" necessary to plan some other
means by which the great mass
of laboring people may get their
enjoyment while working. The
system of profit sharing will
keep the employees interested in
their work and consequently con
tent A certain company is a"
splendid example of my profit
sharing idea and gives each of
its" employees a certain per cent
"of the profits annually and has
done so for twelve years. I te-
eve the plan is one that can be
. adhered generally, except hi
cases uf absentee ownership.
