The plain people should cry this hypocrisy down. The sensible dem ocratic spirit of the masses should rebuke this flagrant attempt to Imi tate the extravagance of a kingdom in this land of common sense. It Is impossible now for a man of modest means to occupy the presi dent's chair, or even a sent in con gress, because of the empty social curses and conventional functions which must be carried and upheld In official life. Do the people wish to add to this un-American condi tion? Do they want to pay $300,000 per term for a president that that official may imitate in a more dis gusting manner the senseless bigot ry and pageantry of kingcraft. That's what this attempt means. Doubling the salary won't double the brains of the president. Keep that office within reach of the com mon mau. Don't make It a prize among a chosen few, whose Interest lies farthest from the people. All of Mr. Roosevelt's false cry for economy falls Hat. He can de ceive the people no longer by mak ing a mock fight on the trusts. He lias opened the way for a plain, un assuming man of the people to win the presidential chair, on a platform that promises to banish the extrava gance and cheap imitation of king craft from the White House! Thirty-one years ago today, on March 3, 1873, the "salary grab" bill was hurriedly passed at the close of the session of congress and the pres ident's salary raised from $25,000 to $30,000 a year.

President f Roosevelt's friends are now asking I that the presidential salary be made $75,000 per year, to make that po sition a prize among millionaires. These same plutocratic congress men have denied the people nf the West the benoflts to be derived from harbor and river improvement. They overflow In time. The statement of President Smith, of the Mormon church, that God yet sends direct communications to men, to direct mundane affairs, .will have a strong tendency to make un successful capitalists beliove In Mor- nave aeciaea mat no appropriation i monsm when tnoy rernember the lor that purpose was necessary at this session of congress. They have refused to advance the settlement of the West and relieve the distress of the people by opening up the Inland waterways and Improving the many sheltering harbors which would fur nish outlets to commerce and build up flourishing cities. These are valueless items in the minds of the trust builders. The people can worry along some how. The rivers can remain closed and e harbors remain uninviting to imerce. Cities can rent any old t-'tfimble-down shack available for a postofflce and got along without government aid, although the money of the people Is lying Idle In the treasury. But the president's salary must j be doubled to make this smack more ' andjoro of the king's office. It is yl&L enough for a plain American 1 dtnen to serve his country sensibly, unoatontntioiiHly and in a dignified .'manner, commanding the respect of nil nations on $50,000 per year or y$200.000 per term. This office must bo made more ar istocratic by expending $300,000 per 'trm of the people's money upon it.

Considering the awful spring weather in the East, it Is better to be a wheelbarrow in Umatilla coun ty than to be an automobile In Illi nois or Ohio, as far as speed on country roads is concerned. THROUGH DEATH TO LIFE. Have you heard the tale. of the alool plant, Away In the sunny clime? Hy humble growth of a hundred years It reaches Its blooming time, And then a wondrous bud at Its crown Ilreaks into a thousand flowers. This floral queen, in its blooming seen, Is the pride of the tropical bowers. Hut the plant to the flower is a sac rifice. For It blooms hut once, and In bloom ing dlos. Have you heard of this aloe plant That grows In tho sunny clime. How ovory ono of its thousand flow ers, As thoy drop In tho blooming time, Is nn infant plant that fastens Us roots In the place where It falls on tho ground, And fast as thoy drop from the dying stem, Grow lively and lovely around? By dying, It Uveth a thousand-fold In the now that spring from tho death of the old. Selected. The Overland Monthly for March comes to the rovlower's desk as n breeze from a Western prnirle. There Is a virility -and a usefulness, a strength and saneness In its pages that Is not to be found In many nf the best magazines of the East. It is up-to-date and tlmoly. From its beautiful frontispiece Illustrations to Its editorials the Interest never wnnes. It Is Cnlirorulnu to the core, and yet It has not any of the tiresome twaddle about the largest beet or the finest orange. It does not preach that California Is superior to any nnd all the states In the Union, but It sets forth the claims of Its state In such a way that the reader always comes to a favorable conclusion re garding the land of sunshine and flowers. In the March Issue we have been given n number of articles that are purely Callfornlan. "Fish of tli.- Western Sea" Is a splendidly wrltte article on the edible fish of the Pi' clflc This will give the disciple i'f Izaak Walton untold pleasure. The next Callfornlan article Is nn that appeals to the lover of nature of woods and flowers, purling brooks and leafy bowers. "The OJal A'alley" (pronounced O high), will be read with pleasure by all Intending visit-, ors to California, and it should be a source of pride to tho citizens of Ventura In Hint state, as It Is a de scription of nn nttractlvo spot In the county of that name. "Tule Farming" appeals to tho practical farmor, nnd relates to the reclamation of the great swamp areas of the state of California. It Is written by n practical fnrmers nnd ib such ijhould be of vast Interest to the Eastern agriculturist, to whom tho article will be a revelation of the methods employed, Mexico comes In for an article on "Housekeeping in Mexico," and the quaint ways of the Mexican servants are described by an American house keeper In the land of perpetual many ana. There are a number of pages de voted to the Orlontnl question, and the fiction of the March Overland would bo vory hard to surpass. COMING EVENTS. April 19 Democratic stato con Mitlon. Portland.
