In the current number of the Read
er's Magazine, Mrs. Jean Cowgill
writes of the teamsters' strike In Chi
cago, which has been In force since
April 6.
It appears that tho 50 teamsters or
Montgomery, Ward & Co., with whom
the strike began, had no grievance
whatever, that their strike was sym
pathetic, and that their constitution
forbade sympathetic srlkes. When
asked about the causes of the strike,
one of the teamsters told Mrs. Cow
gill: "We did not want to strike. We
can't offard to be out of work. There
are the strike benefits, of course, but
they are not wages. I never knew
there was a strike of the garment
workers on until us truck drivers for
Montgomery. Ward & Co. was ordered
out.

Pendleton is the last resort In the
Inland Empire where the gambler
feels secure In his trade, and where
the officers have made absolutely no
effort whatevtr toward closing the
saloons on Sunday, as the law of Ore
gon provides.
Boise City, the fastest city In the
Northwest, has Just passed a rlgtl
Sunday closing law, because as It Is
declared Boise county loses hundreds
f thousands of dollars worth of
m ipa every year, because of drunken
which are enticed to town by

saloons on Sunday. Spokane, a
President Roosevelt's advice to the
Williams college graduates has the
ring of sterling common sense. "Do
not delude yourselves." he said, "to
the belief that fantastic Ideals are an
indication of superior virtue. Adopt
strong, practical Ideas, and then strive I
to follow them as Washington and!
Lincoln followed their Ideals." This
Is a summary of the experience of a
man who has provld that Ideals can
be enforced In public, life when those
who hold them are ready to fight for
them and are well equipped for t!ie
fray. The president has learned, too.
that the practical reformer often has
to take what he can get, rather than
what he would like to get, and that In
this way complete reforms are work
ed out step by step.

Yakima a'-'11 every other city In the
Northwest except Pendleton, has
taken some steps' Jo bring about a
better condition of morals, by closing
the saloons on Sunday.
The law In Oregon Is as plain as It
can be made, and yet officials whose
duty It Is to enforce it seem to be in
league with the element which does
not wish the moral condition Improv
ed, and absolutely refuse to take steps
toward enforcing the law,
But this failure on part of officials
will not delay the matter. There Is
a power In the land stringer than the
officer, and more exacting In Its Judg
ments when once aroused, and soon
fhi nower the people will demand
the enforcement of the law.
And then the officer who has stood
beside the law-breaking class and re
to do his duty will be classed
where he belongs, with the law
breaker. Fetty politicians, whose morals are
questionable, have secured control of
city councils in Oregon, towns, until
the only way In which the people can
secure the enforcement of the law is
to oust tho politicians and place men
of conscience and moral stability In
positions of trust.

The water rushed beneath incessant

Down on the corner. Tables bare

Electric fans, the click of Ice and

A HYMN OF ACTION.
Tn the latest number of Public
Opinion there Is a paper by Atherton
Grownell called the "Key to the Pa
cific," which very clearly, by illus
trative chart and forceful argument,
shows that Hawaii is such a key and
should be strongly fortified by the
United States government
The article Is a study of two things
certain commerce and possible war.
It states: "No such unique situation,
strategically, exists elsewhere as that
h tha Hawaiian group." It
quotes this: "It Is rarely that so lm
portant a factor in the attack or de
fense of a coast line of a sea frontier

For this assertion Captain Mahan, the
...ikm. f "The Influence of Sea
Power." Is the authority. The Infor

publication Is that nothing present or

SI.1, 000 FOR A FLEA.
The strangest quest on record Is re
ferred to by the Johnstown Democrat
In this way: "One Jimmy Click has
rir.na.ted for the darkest depths or
Africa on perhaps the strangest mis
sion that ever Induced a man to dare
death In the jungle.
"Click Is an animal catcher of
varied experience and great skill. Ho
has trapped lions and captured fierce
Hirers. He has made many trips Into
the wilderness. He has always been
successful. He has always come back
with the thing he went for. This time
Click has departed In search of a
very small but ferocious animal. He
Is searching for a flea.
"Baron Rothschild, the London mil
lionaire, has a vast collection of fleas.
Ho keens them In a glass case' and
has spent a fortune In gathering fr.im

Ever since the woria Degan wi
poor have envied the rich. It now ap
pears that there nas peen no couiro
such a feeling. The poor have always
had plenty of Teas and without price.
In spite of this fact a multl-mllllon-olre
longs for a single flea that with
all of his money he has been unable
to buy. Scientists have searched the
world for It. An expedition went to
Alaska seeking It.
Not In dumb resignation, we lift our
hands on high:
Not like the nervless fatalist, con
tent to do and die.
Our faith springs like the eagle's,
who soars to meet the sun,
And cries exultlngly unto Thee, "O
Lord, Thy will be done."
When tyrant feet are trampling upon
the common weal.
Thou dost not bid us bend and writhe
beneath the Iron heel.
In Thy name we assert our right by
sword or tongue or pen.
And even the headman s axe may
flash Thy message unto men.
Thy will! It bids the weak be strong:
It bids the strong be just;
No lips to fawn, no hand to beg, no
brow to seek the dust.
Whenever man oppresses men be
neath the liberal sun,
O Lord, he there: Thine arm made
bare. Thy righteous will be
done.
John Hay.
MOTHERHOOD.
Oh. the spider, mother spider,
Has her cradle In the grass,
Made of silken web and silver
Sunbeams plaited as they pass-,
And the summer breeze Is rocklntf
Baby spider In the net,
'Tween a drowsy poppy-'Ifwm
And a purple violet.
Oh, the oriole is singing
By her cradle In the tree.
Woven dandelion and satin
And a leafy filigree;
And the gentle wind Is rocking
Baby orioles that dream
In the nursery of summer
To the music of a stream.
Spin your cradle, mother spider,'
Rock your baby, mother bird,
In another downy cradle
Little feet and hands have stirred
And I, who wish the singing mothers
Of the trees and grasses Joy,
Must away to my own darling.
Hungry little baby boy.

My short and happy day Is done,
The long and weary night comes on
And at my door the Pale Horse stand
To carry me to unknown lands.
His whinny shrill, his pawing hoof
Sound dreadful as a gathering storm
And I must leave this sheltering roo:
And Joys of life so soft and warm.
Tender and warm the Joys of life
Good friends, the faithful and the
true;
My rosy children and my wife
So sweet to kiss, so fair to view.
So sweet to kiss, so fair to view,
The night comes down, the light

And at my door the Pale Horse stands
To bear me forth to unknown lands.
