O
BEAUTIFYING THE TOWN.
It may be accepted as an axiom
that there is no community so beau
tiful that it may not be made more
beautiful by systematic cooperation
of the Inhabitants. Practically all
wide awake towns recognize this
truth, but many a one falls to evolve
a method for bringing about the de
sired harmony of action. There are
almost Invariably owners of vacant
lots who cannot bo induced to clean
them and keep them tidy in the fu
ture; householders who will not
make their sidewalks and lawns con
form to those of their neighbors
sometimes, to be sure, because they
think they cannot afford to do so.
How to arouse in these persons a suf
ficient public spirit without running
the danger of administering to them
a personal affront such is one of
the never falling problems of people
who desire to advance their city.
A certain monthly magazine of
enormous circulation has doubtless
been doing a grand work by attempt
ing to shame property owners Into
caring for their vacant lots and back
yards by printing conspicuously pho
tographs of some of the worst eye
sores in many of our cities, and in
some towns the local newspapers
havo followed suit; though here the
editor runs the risk not only of mak
ing an enemy for all time, but of
making his delinquent fellow towns
man stubborn instead of accom
modating. Perhaps a certain Mas
sachusetts mill town which is said
to havo transformed itself completely
in tho last eight years has a more
serviceablo plan.
Annual prizes are awarded for the
best kept premises, flower gardens
and so forth. It is recognized that
the manufacturing center need no
longer bo marked by unsightly archi
tecture and barren or littered yards.
A spirit of friendly rivalry has been
generated by the prizes, which prob
ably could never havo been created
by any verbal appeal to local patriot
Ism, no matter how eloquent or vig
orous. In small towns every house
holder may be accepted as a con
testant against all others, but in
larger places it might bo woll to dis
trict the municipality, offering prizes
within each for tho most marked im
provement or the neatest promises,
whilo tho districts are made to vlo
with ono nnothor for district prizes
on tho same plan.
Tho Times offers this as a sugges
tion to tho A. N. W. Club whose
splendid work has already resulted
in so much Improvement.
Live Day Hy Hay.
I heard a voice at evening softly say,
Nor load this week with last week s
load of sorrow.
Bear not thy yesterday into tomor
row, Lift all thy burdens as they come,
nor try
To weigh the present with the by
and by,
One step and then another take thy
way
Live day by day,
Live day by day.
Though tho Autumn leaves are with
ering 'round thy way,
Walk in the sunshine. It is all for
thee.
Push straight ahead, as long as
thou cans't see.
Dread not the Winter whither thou
mayst go,
But when it comes be thankful fqr
the snow.
Onward and upward. Look and smile
and pray
Live day by day,
Live day by day,
The path before thee doth not lead
astray.
Do the next duty. It must surely
be
The Christ is In the ono that's close
to thee.
Onward, still onward, with a sunny
smile,
Till step by step shall end in mile
by mile.
"I'll do my best," unto thy conscience
say,
Live day by day,
Live day by day.
The Atlantic.
WOMEN DESIRE BALLOT.
Equal suffrage Is again brought to
tho fore In n communication recent
ly issued by Mrs. Abigail Scott Duni
way, President of the Oregon State
equal suffrage association. She
writes as follows from the head
quarters of the society at Portland.
Gentlemen, Voters, Sons, Brothers,
I am growing old. But I cannot rest
until you have given us the victory.
Every hour I spent in this service
is a labor of love. Every dollar I
donate is a personal sacrifice. Have
the mothers of Oregon not earned
your affirmative votes for their full
and free enfranchisement?
You are equipped with ballots.
Wo are not. Wo are depending upon
you to honor our flag of truce by
voting Yes in our behalf in this un
equal contest. You know you would
only compel us to repeat this strug
gle in 1910 if you should fall us
now. But wo believe you will not
fall. You have to unlock the door
to the closed citadel of liberty, leav
ing us free to choose for ourselves,
exactly as you do, as to whether to
vote or not to vote, at every succeed
ing election. Thus only can you ac
quit yourselves as free men and re
lieve us from all further effort to
secure equality with our sons before
the law.
This movement grew from the
small beginning in 1S72, above
noted, until the year 1884, when
your representatives submitted for
us, by legislative enactment, a con
stitutional amendment at the State
election of that year, which brought
us 11,223 votes. Our proposed
amendment was again submitted to
a vote of one-half of the people in
the year 1900, and the "yes" vote
had by that time grown to 25,205.
The amendment was again submitted
(always by men) in 190C, and the
"yes" vote rose to 36,902.

Undoubtedly cooks and housemaids

Maybe nil men are liars, but some of
tbein would stop at once if their atten
tion were called to It unless they could
collect a commission upon it.
It isn't really so interesting to know
what is the first thing you would do
under given circumstances ns it is to
Unow w hat Is tho last.
The man that gets what he wauts
generally feels dissatisfied unless lie
can find some fault with it.

A CRITICAL ELECTION.
Tho coming election will bo from
ono standpoint, the most critical In
tho history of Oregon. All the other
states in tho union will look to the
election returns on tho second of
Juno to see how tho initiative and
referendum works in practice. If
tho results show that this now meth
od of legislation leads to safo and
conservative law making, that the
safety of essential state Interests nnd
institutions nro thoroby safeguarded,
wo may look to tho rapid adoption of
direct legislation throughout tho
country. But if tho returns show that
tho majority of tho people are too
indifferent to express thomsolves nt
tho polls and that irresponsible agi
tators enn at any tlmo strlko down
and cripplo a state Institution as cer
tain irresponsible agitators nro try
ing to strlko down tho stato Univer
sity, then othor comnuinltlos will
undoubtedly pnuso and tho progress
of direct legislation will bo jeopard
izod.
Don't worry about making friends;
make good and the friends will look
out for themselves.
A wise woman runs her own affairs
on her own account nnd her bills on
her husband's.
When a man asks you to do hhn a
favor look out that he Isn't doing you
at tho same time.

Storo,
I'vo met n lot of nblo men
In traveling about,
Somo who wuro truly great nnil some
Who hniln't been fouml out,
Somo who wero winners sura enough
And somo who nlso ran.
But never yet found ono to match
lllll Jones, tho hired man.
Bill dropped from nowhere Just came
down
LIUo rnln ono sumnior day
And said ho sort o' liked tho place,
And so wo let him stay.
Ho found u peg to hang his hat,
A looking glass and comb,
And ho at onco was ono of us
And very much nt home.
Ho settled In an easy chair
And started on tho spot
To tell us everything ho know.
And, say, it was a lot.
Tho places that ho hadn't been,
Tho things ho hadn't seen,
If entered In a book would leavo
Most all tho pages clean.
On heavy lifting and tho like
Ilo wasn't very strong,
Yet ho accomplished moro or less
And sort of got ulong,
But still wo nover made a kick
Nor grudge him what ho d row
Not that he earned tho wages, but
J Soon use of what ho know.

TO REPUBLICAN VOTERS
N OVERWHELMING majority of Oregon's voters by reg
istration have formally declared that they believe In tho
principles of the Republican Party. Let them now show
that they are honest by voting in accordance with their de
clarations. The Oregon election comes before the Repub
lican National Convention. Let every Republican voter in
the First Congressional District uphold the honor of the Re
publican Party in Oregon and strengthen tho influence of
Oregon's delegation in the National Convention by voting
for H. M. Cake for United States States Senator and W. C.
Hawley for Representative in Congress. If either of these
Republican nominees fail of election, tho Primary election
system will be discredited and a return of boss rule will bo
invited. The good name of Oregon's voters will be smirch
ed and Oregon's delegation to the National Convention will
be placed in a humiliating position. For tho effect it will
have on the November election it is imperative that all
the Republican nominees in the June election shall be elect
ed by an overwhelming majority. As a believer in the prin
ciples of the Republican Party, it is your duty to be at the
polls June 1st and vote for Cake and Hawley.
