And one star slugs to another,
And sun holds speech with
sun,
"While the drifting veil of vnpor
pale
ShowB another world begun.
Hut we count tlmo by a dawning
Or mark by a twilight fall
Yet the stars sing on when the
years are gone,
And where are we after all?
The words ami tho hopes and
the doubtlngs
The joy and the dreams and
the dread,
And the puny lives in tho puny
hives
Where toil is done for bread;
A day, a night and another
A round of. the spinning -ball;
A sigh and a smile for tho brief
est while
And what are we, after all?

LAND LAW FIGHT IS ON.
.Congress has caught the spirit of
the West. The great issue that is
convulsing the public mind on tho
Pacific Coast, is now the ruling topic
in the hails of the national legisla
ture.! The shot llred at tho Ogden irriga
tion convention is echoing in Wash
ington. The battle of tho giants, wit
nesses by tho delegates in the Utah
cay is clashing again, with renewed
strategy and vigor.
Shall the public domain bo exploit
ed by speculators or shall it be trans
mitted as a heritage to the people?
This is the issue.
It takes precedence over Cuban
sugar schedules and Panama caiial
treaties. It oversnailows Smoot's
puiygunj-, itauna-s presidential am
bition, and Carrie Isations onslaughts,
It towers abovo tho tariff and silver
issues like Mount Hood abovo the
spires of Portland.
The East Is in favor of the repeal of
the desert land act, the tim.er and
stone act and tho commutation clause
of the homestead act. Tho West has
driven tho East to this belief by per
mitting, practicing and nurturing
systematic, studied, wholesale laud
frauds.
The West has abused these laws.
The priceless heritage of tho people
has been made the prize of tho spoils
man and the plaything of the official.
Talk about landlordism in Kansas,
Illinois and Nebraska, where English
and German synuicntcs own town
ships and counties. TIioho princely
holdings do not compare with tno
tracts of timbor land acquired
through fraud and perjury by West
ern lumber and range companies.
This practice has turned tiie West
against these laws. Homoateaders
arc welcome and needed in tho Wost,
but they soon will find fraudulent
titles covering the entire public -main.
Transient untrymen, hirelings,
dummies and crooked filings are ac
tive agencies everywhere there is
public land.
Now that the rrospect for the re
peal of these laws is very good, rail
roads, lumber companies and range
syndicates arc rushing entrymen to
tho remnant of the public domain.
tMWIons of acres arc passing out of
tho hands of tho government, yearly,
and not one filing in twenty repre
sents a home.
Within twenty years more tho gov
ernment will bo forced to buy back
thin prlcoless area from the nyndl
eates to make homes for tho people.
If some check is not placed upon tho
avarice of tho speculator.
Tho Wyndham Irish land bill will
have to bo enacted in tho United
States to Hiipply t..o masses with
homes. Tho government will be com
pelled to .pay tho landlords of tho
West tor the great domain stolen
from tho people, and tno Araorican
peasant of tho next century will bo
as homeless as tho Irish peasant of
Urn twentieth century unless- theso
lawH aro repealed and conciess comes
to tho rescue or tho public domain.
Every filing hereafter should moon
tho foundation of a homo.
A letter from an Oregon boy in
Nome at tho ond of tho northern
Umtt of land, on tho western hemis
phere, starts In motion an interesting
chain of thought. Tho restless spirit
which sent this boy to tho last fron
tier on tho continent is well founded.
His father left Missouri for Califor
nia In 1819, when tho gold fovor
struck the world; his grandfather
came from Kentuc.iy to Missouri In
io2S, when civilization crowded him
too' closely; his great-grandfather
came from Virginia to Kentucky in
1812, because ho wanted moro room
and freedom; his great-great-grand-.
father came from England to Virgin
la In 17S5, because bo was too rest
less to bo Jostled in tho crowded con
tors of the old world, and tho older
members of tho family emigrated
troni Normnndy, France', to England,
in 17-10. Tho family history of this
boy and of thousands of other Ore
gon boys is one succession of jumps
Irom one wild frontier to another.
They have been loft n legacy of dis
content and testlcssncss which can
not bear .confinement in tho crowded
centers. Tho story of tho emigration
of a raco from Normandy in 1740, to
Alaska In 1003, is one of tho most
thrilling historical dramas that could
bo pictured. It Includes tho conquest
of the American continent, tho pas
sage from one wilderness to nnothor,
until this boy linds himself on tho
border of the western hemisphere, on
the wildest and the only frontier loft
on the comment.
Polygamy is no worse than the con
tract mnrrlogu law of California, yet
thousands of young lives have been
blighted by that law, and advocates of
it have sat In congress year after year
without a protest from anybouy. All
the hell on earth is not confined to
polygamy, however, detestable It may
be. Tho suicide record of California,
greater than that of nny other state
In the Union, is a startling testimoni
al to tho norror of i..e social condi
tion, there bred and engendered by
tiie contract marriage law.
John .Mitchell threw a bomb into
the meeting of tho Federation of
Labor, at Boston, yesterday, when
ho declared that labor unions should
not take socialism into their organ!
zations, as part of the union. Ho
also said that no' political party
should interfere with tho sacred prin
ciples of unionism, in its dealings
with tiie world. The socialist mem
hers of the federation had hoped to
secure the adoption of n radical so
cialistic plank by the national fed
eration, thereby clinching the doe
trine of socialism, as the creed of tho
federation anil coercing unions not
in favor of this move into accoptlng
tho alternative of adopting socialism.
