It suenis bitterly unjust' thnt the
great mass of the common people tire
prevented from hearing such rare
trcatB, given by Providence for tho
enjoyment nf mnulilml, ns Pattl's
voice. It cost ?7.li0 lo sit on a front
seat mid listoti to this remarkable
woman sing two short little sketches
from grand opera, at Portland last
night. It only required 10 minutes
for the rendition of I'attis Individual
part of the program, nnd yet so mer
cenary and selfish Is tho world that
tula p'tilits must have a guarantee
of JG.OOO for a performance before
she will Hlng. How many nppreela
live people of modest' moans hunger
for an opportunity to hear her, hut
who are barred because slio has made
merchandise of Rod's gift?
!
Tin not m the pages of Btory,
The heart of Its Ills to be-

Though he who makes court-
ship to (ilory
Gives all that no hath for
her smile.
For when from tho heights he
has won her
Alas! It Is only to prove
There's nothing so sacred as
honor,
And nothing so loyal as
Ixjvp!
We cannot make bargains for
hli3ses,
Nor catch them like fishes In
nets;
And sometimes the thing our
life misses
Helps more than the thing
which It nets.
For good llotb In. pursuing.
Not gaining of great nor of
small,
Dut Ju3t in tho doing nnd do-
Ing
As we would be done by. Is

It's a long Jump from a rabbit can
nery to a beet sugar factory but
Kcho is about to accomplish that feat.
If tho women do not care to removo
their hats In churcn, to make church
i?oing more pleasant and satisfactory,
they need not grieve at diminishing
attendance and lessening Interest in
church affairs. Very few churches
arc built with inclined floors, so the
sea of bats in the front seats, on
a lovel floor, make It impossible to
see the minister. There is often
more in seeing the speaker than m
hearing him
Tho Oregon Dally Journal has be
come the most ably edited paper in
tho state, since the editorial manage
ment was placed In chargo of John F.
Carroll, formerly of the Denver Post
it is a crisp, clear, stinging, yet abso
lutely Just and considerate tone,
tone, which appeals to people living
In the thrilling Issues of the present.
It is free from all fossilized mews
backism, which has been the marked
characteristic of Portland Journalism
for so many years. It rings with now
.suggestions, now Ideas, masterful
discussions of present needs and
present abuses, and has a spirit of
progress about it that Is Irresistible.
Tho pupils ot the public schools
should be compelled to practice a
regular fire drill at least threo days
out of every week. No public school
building Is so well equipped with
safety devices as to preclude tho
possibility of a terrible dlsastor, In
rase of a bad fire. Tnis requirement
should bo part of the regular program
of tho schools nnd should bo rigidly
enforced by teachers and school
boards. A theater flrd drill would
not be a bad Idea, cither, in ever
xmall city In the country, for It Is in
tho small towns, where regulations
aro lax, that the greatest danger
exists. There Is nothing llko know
ing Just what to do when the occa
sion arises.
The formation ot the Independent
Packing Company, by nctual stock-
growers, Is the greatest popular
movement toward co-operation anil
tho ownership of a great Industry,
that has been made in tills country.
Its possibilities for general good aro
beyond measure, for the smallest
stockman may buy slock In It and
share Its benefits. True, It Is a trust
of the stockgrowers. It l a combine
of the producers with a vlow to saving
the profits of their business which
now go Into the coffers of a relentless
syndicate. It this combine can bo af
fected and the fnrmors and stockmen
can market their stuff, Independently
of the groat commission houses and
the beef trust, the profits from cat
tle, sheep and hogs can be returned
to the grower. Invested In groator
supplies of live animals, and used to
improve homes and to develop the
West. Kvery dollar ot tho five million
dollars worth of stock In that vast
concern could have been sold In
Texas and Kansas alone, so keenly
did Its provisions nppeal to the stock
growers of those states.
The same enthusiastic support from
the voters of Oregon, which greeted
the Initiative and referendum nmend
niont, should bo accorded the direct
primary nominations amendment,
which will be voted upon at the com
ing state election. It Is a movement
toward popular government, by which
the sovereign citizen may assert his
choice. It destroys the packed con
vention, in which the will of the peo
ple Is more often thwarted than ac
complished. It places the choice of
officials directly in tho bauds of the
actual voters, and gives every man
the privilege of assorting his private
judgment, without fear or favor.
Friends of this movement Should bo
tireless in their campaign for Its
adoption. Tho Direct Primary Noml
notian laguo, of Oregon, Is now an
organized body, with W. S. IJ'Iten, of
Oregon City, as secretary, to whom
all aro directed for information. It
is a movement toward tho utmost
freedom of tho common man, in nil
political matters. It is the right (
every man who is ontitled to vote tor
public servants, to have a choice in
nominating them. Instead of leaving
that task for traders and mercenary
politicians in conventions where prox
ies and dummy delegates often de
feat tho ends of Justice nnd the will
of the people, llegln now to talk
direct nominating primaries. Every
citizen is a delegate and has a right
to holp namo tho public servant
which represents the honor and sta
bility of the county, state and na
tlonal govornmcnt.
A ROOSEVELT WAR STORY.
Jacob A. Itlls, in his "Thoodoie
Itoosevett, the Citizen," now running
Borlnlly In the Outlook, tells this an
ccdolo of Colonel Jloosovolt's war
experience:
lie had n mail In his regiment, u
child of the frontier, In whom dwelt
the soul of a soldier In wnr, not In
pence Hy no process of reasoning
or dlROlplIno could ho bo porsunded to
obey the camp rogulotltmR, while the
regiment lny nt San Antonio, and i't
last ho was court mnrtlnled, senlctin d
to six months Imprisonment n tech
nical sontence, for tlioro was no Jail
to put him lu. The prisoner bad an- j
other unigh rider following hlmi
around with n rllle to keep him in
bounds. Then enmo tho call to
Cuba, and tho colonel planned lo
leave him behind ns useless baggnge. ,
When the man hoard of It IiIr eon! I
was stirred to Its doptlis. He conic !
and pleaded as n child tu bo taken
i.lmip- tin wnnlil nlwnvn he pimd: I
never again could lie show up In !
Kansas If the regiment wont to the
war without him. At sight of his loal
agony Mr. Hoosevelt's heart relented.
"All right," he said. "You deserve j
lo be shot as much us anybody. You I
shall go." And ho went following with I
gratitude, lo prove Mmsell' In the
field us good a man as bis prison
of yore who fought beside him.
Then came the mustering out.
When the last ninu was checked olf
and accounted for, tho a dii.ut
ment official, quartermaster or gen
eral or something, fumbled wlh hU
papers.
Where is the prisoner?" he naked
"Tho prisoner?" echoed ('olonel
Itoo.ovelt, "whnt prisoner?"
"Why the mnn who got six month,
ut n court martial."
"Oh, ho! Ho Is nil right. I remit
ted his sentence."
The official looked the colonel over
curiously.
"You remitted his sentence'" lie
said "Sentenced by n eourtninrtlal
approved by the commanding geii-T-nl.
you remitted his sentence Well
you've got nerve."

KEEP YOUR BLOOD CLEAN
Whllo the street department Is ac
credited with having spent over
18,000 during tho past year, It mu3t
bo remembered that no permanent
improvements could possibly bo
made, during the construction of tho
oowor system, and at the council's
orders, no actual street work, except
tho cleaning has been done. Of tho
$8,000 charged to the streets about
$500 for cleaning the streets Is all
that has been spent on tho streets,
tho remainder of tho amount having
been oxpended in building cross
walks, bridges, repairs to sprinkling
wagons, and tho greatest Hem ot all,
In sprinkling, which was nut under
the supervision of tho streot commis
sioner nt nil. Tho city has paid tho
streot commissioner about $C00 In
salary, and bo has collected for tho
city durlns tho past year, tho sum of
31,027.27 from tho street liens, the
