Upon a cloud aiming Ihe stars we stood; The angel raised his hand, and looked, and said, "Which world of all yon starry myriad Shall we make wing to?" The . Still MllttUde became a harp whereon his voice and mood Make spheral music round his haloed head. I spake for then I had not long been dead: ''Let me look round upon Ihe vasts, and brood A moment on these orbs ere I decide. ... What is yon lower star that -r beauteous shines. And with soft splendor now in- cnrnadines Our wlmrs? There would 1 go, and there abide." Then he. as one who some child's thought divines, ""That Is the world where yester- night you died."

Many timid people, especially among employes and officials of railroad companies say that Oregon is driving out the railroad by agitating higher raluatlons of property, anti-pass laws, maximum freight rates and general regulation of railroad affairs. No fear of this. Wherever there I. freight to haul, railroads will be founl to build to it. If one company does not, another will. This country is too big to re main longer the territory of one or two systems. Its developing resources will attract dozens of companies. The inland empire will be a network of railroads within three years more. The business is here. .The transcon tinental lines must reach the coast to be able to get their share of the orient al trade. Capital does not ask to be favored or pampered or nursed. If present companies now on the ground will not build, others will. The marvelous riches of the northwest have attracted the world In the past few years and there will be no dearth of capital seeking legitimate Investment hereaf ter. TAXI'AYKKS' I.KAfilK NFKIF1. Idaho, although less wrought up ever the railroad assessment question than Oregon, Is leading Oregon In (??- termlned efforts to secure higher valu atlons for corporation property. A taxpayers' league has been formed at Moscow, for the purpose of starting a general movement for higher values of railroad property. Other property pays more than its proportion of the taxes. Railroads se cure enormous Incomes, pay enormous dividends, fix their rates and fares and demand cash on the spot before you can ride a mile or take away your coods from their warehouses, and they should be made to pay at least nn equal proportion of taxes. Oregon would be benefitted by a taxpayers' league. So far. individual assessors and a few newspapers have conducted the campaign for hlglic rp 11 road values. The people who ire directly affected by the great liiue Iinve said but little to encourage lb'; pavement. The common run of tax payers who bear an unjust burden, pay an unjust Bhare. should form an orRn nidation such as Is now starting ir ? ':'ho. It will encourage assessors and uewspapera. CIUMINAIi SKCIU'.CV. The Salem Statesman pleads for leerecy In the matter of the conviction ef Oregon representatives. It would keep the public In Ignor ance of the crimes of public officials and would thus encourage further ras cality by making the official Immune from exposure. The Statesman says; "Much newspaper discussion of the rights, powers and positions of the Torlous branches of the government and the character of individuals In the government, is calculated to do ma- terlal damage, not only to the bodies attacked, to our system of govern ment, but also to the youth of the land to whom these writings appear as the evident judgment of mature thought. We refer to general charges of dishonesty among our legislators, both slate and national." There has been too much secrecy and suppression of facts In the past for the good of Oregon. The Ore gonlan Is largely to blame for the present condition of things In the state by holding a monopoly of the news service In the stale and thus practical ly censoring every news Item sent out. The power of tin dominant pnrty has been strengthened and the people kept in blindness through suppression of facts by a partisan organ which held a monopoly of news In the state. If the truth had been told by the Oregonlan. the Statesman, the Tele gram and other papers in position to know the truth for the past two de cades, Oregon would not now be with out representation in congress. Hut public men have been white washed, caiiunl.ed. held up as virtu ous examples of manhood, no matter what public misdemeanors they weie guilty of. Let the youth of the land know the truth and profit by It. Let them learn that honesty Is de manded from public officials as well as private citizens. U't them learn that a fearless press will not suppress the truth because Its publication might endanger the political chances of some individual or machine. Publicity will hurt no man who is on the square. If public men are not on the square, let the public know It. mi: SAFER SKX. On a capital stock of JJOOO the bank of Jopliu, in Missouri, reports $-50,-()0(i in surplus funds: deposits, $476. 579: interest and exchange, $5,311. The bank's cashier, assistant cashier ami three bookkeepers are women. In the state of Iowa are at present 14 women bank cashiers and Is women assistant cashiers. Two-thirds of these officials started as bookkeep ers. No Iowa bank directed by a wo man has ever failed and no woman placed in a bank position of trust has proved unfaithful. And this In a state which has seen :it bank failures in five years, leading to six suicides and six convictions in the criminal courts. It has been said that in the small things of life particularly In trifling social emergencies women are more readily dishonest than men. So far as the evidence of two states goes, the ratio of reliability in large affairs seems to turn the other way. The returns from Iowa and Missouri should not be lost upon depositors and policy-holders elsewhere. It may be necessary to demand for the common good that banking ami insurance af fairs in general shall pass to the con trol of the safer sex. IMMSII TIIK MINOIt. Saloon men are not wholly to blame for selling liquor to minors. Minors often represent themselves to be of age and thus secure liquor where they could not otherw ise secure It. In such cases the saloon man should go free and the minor should be given the penalty. The law is not partial. It alms to punish the criminal and It Is as much a crime for a boy and his witnesses to He about his age In order to secure whiskey, as it Is for the sa loon man to sell whiskey to a minor. Portland will hereafter punish the boy who lies about his age In order to get liquor. It Is a good move. Pen dleton should imitate It. The minor who secures liquor under false pre tenses should be severely dealt with. Parents are always ready, and very Justly, too, to censure the saloon man for giving the boy liquor, but do par ents impress upiyi tbe boy the serious ness of his crime, if he "plays smart .Mac" and gi ts whiskey by declaring himself to be 21 when he is but 18? Let the council get after the boys and considerable trouble with minors will be at an end. (iOIVS ANSWFlt. One In a time of trouble and of care I dreamed I talked with Ood about my pain; With sleepiand courage, daring to complain Of what I deemed ungracious and ua fair. "IiOrd. I have groveled on my knees In prayer Hour after hour," I cried; "yet all In vain; N'o hand leads up to heights I would attain, No path Is shown me out of my de spair." Then answered Ood: "Three things I gave to thee Clear brain, brave will and strength of mind and heart, All Implements divine, to shape the way. Why shift the burden of thy toll on me? Till to the utmost ho has done his part With, all his might, let no man dare to pray." Ella Wheeler Wilcox. The safe of Schomus & Co., at Mc Mlnnvllle, was cracked and 1100 cash taken. The tills were not molested, nor goods taken. ' TIIK ltl(i(.l:sT Nil M' AFLOAT IS AX Ol'F.AX PALME. The new Hamburg-American liner Amerika. the largest ship afloat In point of displacement, will dock at the company's iiobokeu piers about 4 o'clock this afternoon, says the New York World. This is her first voyage from Hamburg via lKiver and Cher bourg, and It is certain everything uflont will loudly welcome her as slow ly, majestically she steams up the bay. The Anierlka's tonnage Is 4:1.001). She carries lti.uoo tons of cargo, enough to fill miles of freight cars. She Is CS7 feet long, 74 feet 6 Inches wide anil 53 feet deep. She Is built for the extreme of luxurious sea travel, not for speed, ami her running time from land to land Is seven days. Literally she Is a Delmonlco's afloat, an ocean Sherry's. In one way she breaks the oldest tradition in steamship economy. She has a great restaurant a la carte, where a passen ger can be served at any hour. The floating restaurant Is in the hands of the Kit. Hotel company, which owns the Hotel liltz. Tails, and the new Ititz and Carlton, London, The restaurant a la carte Is on the sixth, the upper deck of the Anu rlka. Such a restaurant must recommend itself to those whose appetite Is un certain at sea. as well as to the good sailor who Is a gourmet. The first can dine well when Neptune permits; the second can tickle his palate with dainties of his choice. Any one can rem bis stateroom and have his meals served to order. Two decks below Ihe restaurant is the diutng-saloon, conducted as on other great steam ships. A passenger on the Amerika needs not walk from deck to deck, an elec tric passenger elevator carries him. If he needs exercise Ibere Is a gym nasium for him; babies can disport themselves in a big nursery; every room has Its telephone; there Is no such thing as an upper berth. The Amerika accommodates f50 cabin passengers. 300 second class. 250 third class and 300 between decks. With all her luxurlousuess, the very newest and most original devices for safety are used on the floating hotel. Newest of all. she has a system of communicating through the water with the shore; the navigator can find by bell signals the location of light houses and lightships, even it the fog is so dense or the snow so heavy that be cannot see a yard ahead. AI'SK IXTO RAItltAKISM. An appalling criticism of the Lon don of today Is made by Charles Ed ward itussell In the November Every body's. In the foreword to his new series of articles. "Soldiers of the Com mon Good," Mr. Russell says: "And it will appear as a strange and awful fact that in the first of the countries we are to consider In these pijpers the influence of civilization has become so' weak that In the cen ters of great modern cities, surrounded by wealth and" sumptuous- display, millions of men and women are daily ami visibly relapsing Into barbarism. "After a long descent from the ra?e most talked about and boosted of, and after all the aids of the most advanc ed modern life, the fruit there Is the type of a dreadful creature, deformed In body and mind, cursed with inherit ed disease, helpless and hopeless. bringing Into the world other creat ures more wretched than himself, darkening the glass of civilization with the sinister portent of his haggard face. "It will appear that this product of Ity life In England is Increasing so rapidly and becoming so threatening that natural commissions are formed to consider him and how to mitigate the plague of him. and yet he In creases, and yet all the excellent plans in-! scheme that help others and light en other burdens never reach him nor llmlnlsh his numbers nor take from the national life the shadow of his presence. "It will appear, I trust, that he Is the natural and perfect product of the system of unchecked and Insatiable greed, of the system of class and caste which forms England's problem as it forms ours, and that these systems having proceeded much farther and existed much longer In England than In the United States, It Is possible for us to stop now ami consider whether we really wish to erect Stepneys and Clerktnwells In our own cities." IK!ISE OK ItMK'KS. The children built a house of blocks, And admired It duly; With minarets, drawbridge and locks, It was- a marvel truly. A truant breeze passed Idly by. As If man's love 'twere wooing. I saw the house all shattered lie That breeze was Its undoing. Man tolls to build a structure fair, Tolls on and never ceases; A breath of slander wanders there, And, lo! It lies in pieces; And vet build high the fragile walls; Your castle fair, inclose it Far betler he whose structure falls Than he whose breath o'erthrows It. A. J. Waterhonse.
