Let It le said of me Wherever there was holy cause to serve Or hearts that ache or perils that unnerve; Wherever there was arduous task to do, A path to light, a duty to pur sue; Wherever there was child to wrest from wrong, Or weary souls athlrst for love or song; Wherever slaves of time cried to be free. My hand was reached let this be said of me. Kate B. Sherwoodr CLASS LEGISLATION. Senate bill No. 129, Introduced by Senator Smith, of Multnomah, which passed the Oregon senate a few days ago. is now discovered to contain ob jectionable provisions, such as to place it under "class legislation," or legislation In the interests of the "regular physicians," by one of whom it was Intioduced. This bill should be reconsidered and defeated, simply because it Is plain ly legislation in the interest or a class and inimical to the liberty and the interests of the great mass of people. One of Its provisions requires the formula printed on each bottle of pat ent medicine sold in Oregon. This would put an end to the sale in the state of patent medicines, many of which have proven excellent leme- dles; Injure the business of every newspaper In Oregon, as well as that of the druggists, and bring In greater demand the services of "regular phy sicians," in whose Interests the meas ure Is being promoted. It appears that would-be statesmen, making their first appearance in the Jialls of legislation, are prone to pro mulgate - legislation of this nature, forgetting there are other interests, just as important as their own, which would be Impaired, while theirs would be benefited. It is beyond the thinking man's understanding why these raw recruits in the ranks of statesmen, cannot see the equity and good sense in allowing sill men to have the benefit of a free field In the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness, the law simply stand ing as a guarantee of equal rights and privileges, which great principle -would be entirely destroyed If each class were allowed to legislate at the expense of the other, as Is proposed in this instance. In this connection. It is meet to quote the following letter, written to a Portland paper, anent another "class law," Introduced in tho senato by another Senator Smith, this time of Umatilla, known as senate bill No. 9G: Portland, Jan. 30. (To the Editor.) In your reports from the legislature as usual a bill (No. 90) Is again on hand to regulate the practice of med icine and surgery. Some enterprising medico I suppose has the Interest of the dear people at heart and desires to legislato for their benefit. Whilo I am charitable enough to admit their sincerity, I feel confident, from 25 years' experience In medicine and sur gery, that I can suggest an amend ment to the bill that would bo Impar tial, honest, equltablo and fair to both doctor and patient. That is simply this: Let every man and woman prac tice medicine and surgery without re gard to qualifications, but compel every person who pretends to tho pro fession to furnish tho patient with all medicine, appliances, etc., requir ed In each and every caso; compel said doctor to attend all calls without question, and In every caso attended, If tho doctor fails to euro the patient, ho Is to receive no pay for his or her services. This kind of law would bo just for both doctor and patient; besides, It we call our best doctors. As to quacks, I must admit we haven't any in Portland that I know of, as it re quires more gray matter to be a quack than a regular physician. The definition Tf quackery as understood now by tho medical associations, 13 a doctor who advertises to cure tho sick or guarantees a cure In all cases they treat. The codes of both meal cal and dental ethics are very nice for the fellow who Is established, but a hard ladder for a beginner to climb. The writer has been practicing medl cine here for over a quarter of a centuy, am! would be happy If a law could be passed compelling all doctors to answer e very call, furnish the med icine, and if they fall to cure the pa tient could collect nothing. Then to equalize the responsibility allow noth ing exempt for the payment of the doctor's bill, which would bo satisfied within 90 days after the patient is convalescent. QUACK. LINCOLN FRIEND OF LABOR. In my present position I could scarcely be Justified were I to omit raising a warning voice against the approach of returning despotism. It is not needed nor fitting here that a general argument should bo made in favor of popular institutions but there is one point not so hackneved to which I ask brief attention. It Is the effort to place capital' on an equal footing with, if not above. labor In the structure of government. U Is assumed that labor is available only In connection with capital; that nobody labors unless somebody else owning capital somehow by the use of It induces him to labor. But capi tal is the fruit of labor, and could never have existed If labor had not first existed. Iabor Is the superior of capital, and deserves much tho higher con sideration. No men living are more worthy to be trusted than those who toll up from poverty; none less in clined to take or touch aught which they have not honestly earned. Let them beware of surrendering to polit ical power which they already pos sess, and which, If surrendered, will surely be used to close the door or advancement against such as they, and to fix new disabilities and bur dens upon them until all of liberty shall be lost. Message of Lincoln to Congress. "Now,' said the one-armed soldier "I'll tell you ere I go About the Border brothers Twin brothers of St. Joe. "One did things on the desert In th' desert's dust and drouth; The other took his musket And soldiered at the South. "Ono looked along a transit And trailed a tape of steel; One squinted o'er n cannon That made the foeman reel. "While one was puffing, snuffing, Away the vital spark The other kept his vigil Where Sioux scalped In the dark. "Willie one was routing South'ners Where the white Potomac foams One chiseled out an empire Tint holds r. million homes. "One sleeps In the Sierras Beneath a shrcud of snow; One sleeps beneath a statue Equestrian in St. Joe. 'While one was making widows The other made tho West; Now, children, choose your hero Which soldier battles best?" CY. WARMAN. Copyright 1903.

Commoner. LAWLESSNESS OF MONOPOLIES. That a rich and prosperous railway or other public service corporation may withdraw or withhold adequate service on a branch of Its system be cause that particular branch' does not pay Is a dictum of folly, to say noth ing of Its lawlessness. The Post calls it lawlessness advis edly, for there Is no doubt that a com mon carrier is bound to glvo com pletq service or abandon the rights granted to it with the implied but plain responsibility to serve at Its own risk, Not long ago the Metropolitan Slret Railway Company in Kansas City discovered that its practice of running cars at long Intervals during tho slack hours- of travel might be cause to revoke Its franchises, .and It made peace with tho city with un dignified haste. Merchants can't do business that way. Suppose they closed their stores when the trade was dull? Other stores Mould get the trade. But the railway is a monopoly. Denver Post. THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE. Tho democrats aro acting consist ently In voting for Hon. C. E. S Wood for United States senator. Ho was openly nominated In their state convention and voted for by the peo ple as the democratic party candidate. Col. Wood has had a military train ing, and from tho standpoint of hav ing a trained mind and great talents as an orator, and as a literary man of broad cultuie, Is the peer of any man In tho state, He Is a gentleman of the highest ideals, and, as a senator from Oregon, ho would shed a lustre of renown on cur state that would make It In many ways distinguished among Western commonwealths. The Journal does not agree with Col. Wood In his froo trado views or his antl-expanslon sentiments. In tlieso respects ho Is a radical of radi cals, but his honesty, sincerity and outspokenness aro commendable. There Is to all appearances little of tho demagogue, the flatteror and time serving politician about him. In fact, would compel doctors to attend moro closely to their patients. Many doc tors, especially In Portland, aro en tirely too careless and unconcerned about human life. Called In a hurry, they delay several hours before com !bo has nono of tboao qualities, and this would probably make him a vory useful man to Oregon in the senate ot the United States. Ho would bo great on Ideals and 1 tag: this Is especially so with what sentiments of abstract righteousness. tN FORTY All children need the ele ments of fat in their food be cause it is of first importance in proper nourishment. Doc tors say one child in forty is properly fed the other thirty-nine don't get a right amount of fat in. their food at the right time. If more children were given Scott's Emulsion it wouldn't . take long before more than one in forty was properly fed. There is in Scott's Emulsion something that seems to take hold of children who do not get enough and proper nour ishment from their every-day food. First there is that important element of fat; this is con tained in the cod liver oil in the very best and most desir able form. Then there are the hypophosphites of lime and soda which tone the blood and strengthen and nourish the bones. The perfect com bination of these food prin ciples in Scott's Emulsion makes this preparation of. great value to all children. We'll send you a sample free upon request.
