T Virginia Woodward Cloud. . LET THE COLLAPSE COME. Students of political history de clare that the evidences of a collapse of both the great political parties are now plainly distinguishable in the trend of events in the United States. It is difficult to find two republi cans who agree upon the tariff in all Its ramifications and it is difficult to Cnd two democrats who are of one mind upon the monetary issue, and an on down the line of public ques tions. The recent strong tendency toward government ownership of public utilities, originating and finding its greatest momentum in the great cities, is. not confined to either of the parties. Roosevelt's demand for railroad regulation finds bitter opponents and warm adherents In both parties, and Che same is true of the colonial policy .of the president , So from these tangled and frag mentary evidences of disintegration, Indents find a hope that a new party, made up of the bone and sinew of the two great parties, and having as its slogan and basic principle public ownership of .the great transportation lines, coal mines, telegraph and tele phones, will arise and sweep the land. Such men as Roosevelt. La Follette, Tom Johnson, Joseph Folk and Je rome, belong In a class far above and beyond the old school of politicians and statesmen which has dominated American political history for the past quarter of a century. These men and their followers be long In one party and should not be 1IvHo1. Their principles are identi cal, and united, they could accomplish filgh purposes of government, which can never come through the present jnlutocratlc leadership of the parties. If from the loins, as It were, of the two old parties there should come a younger and more virile political force, founded upon advanced princi ples, sufh us are now agitating the public mind and which have foun.l expression In the municipal elections In New York and Chicago, Roosevelt, Folk, La Follette, Johnson, Jerome and Weaver will surely gravitate to gether on a common level of political principles. They belong together. Thiy could accomplish much If united in one common cause. XO PLACE IS SACRED. In Jerusalem Is a narrow, dingy alley in the outer portion of the city, where stands a portion of the ancient wall left Intact through Its repeated lestruc-tlon by infidel Invaders. fHt;re, in this narrow smoke-begrimed alley, the faithful Jews have come for centuries to weep and be wail the fate of the city. Pressing their foreheads against this sacred portion of the ancient wall of their father's building, they stand for hours in the burning sun at midday and be moan the fate of Jerusalem the beau tlful. For centuries this practice has con tlnued and in all that time not even the avarice of the shopkeeper haB led him to set up a business In the neigh borhood of this place of weeping. It was perhaps the only spot In Jerusalem free from the cry of "back sheesh," or "give, give," as the beg . gars and dealers cry. Put finally one old Hebrew con ceived the idea of selling handker chiefs to the weepers, aa they stood In sorrow at the narrow alley which had been moistened with the tear of ttw faithful for centuries. Su ho net up a shop in' the heart of the sacred alley next to the ancient wall and soon was doing a rushing " unless from the tears of his breth ren. This is a symbol of tho present com mercial age. No plnco or subject Is sacred In the eyes of the money-mud hylock of today. Grafting creeps :nto every department of government, Into every branch of trade, Into every commercial scheme, no matter how exulted In its conception or how fur flung Its influences and manipulations. T1U1UTF. TO MITCHELL. The Oregon Dally Journal says of the high esteem in which the late Senator Mitchell was hold: After all is said and done there Is a genuine tribute due by the people of Portland nnd Oregon to the memory of John H. Mitchell. While tho Inst year of his life was a tragedy that touched the hearts of hundreds who never knew him personally, It must be said to the credit of human nature that there were unnumbered scores who till the very end paid to him the profound tribute of their loyalty and love. The most striking outcome of his death Is the expression of Blncere regret that comes from sources other than political, from men In humble walks of life who never sought his Influence but who felt instinctively that his heart was In the right place. He was pre-eminently a helpful man, unspoiled by the honors- which had been heaped upon him and as ready of access and aa cordial to the ordinary citizen as to the most influ ential. DO YOUR SHOPPING NOW. Don't wait until the last hour of the last day before Christmas to do your shopping. Go now, before the goods are pick ed over and while the clerks are not rushed nor the stores crowded. Next week will be too late. Too will not be any better prepared than now and the chances are that you will forget something if yon wait till the last day Remember, the work of the clerk multiplies as the holidays approach, resides doing their regular work they take part in the decoration and help keep the house in holiday attire. They will be rushed to death the last few days and for pity's sake go now and buy your stuff and take it home and store it under the bed or In the closet, or anywhere to hide It until Christmas. Tou have no idea how tired the girls In the stores will be the last few days. On their feet from early morn ing until late at night, and not a min ute to atop during the day! City Superintendent Traver has in troduced one of the most inspiring rules into the public schools which It has ever been the good fortune of Pendleton to enjoy. This Is the prac tice of giving a half holiday each month to rooms not having a tardy mark during the month. It is Inter esting to note how much rivalry and Interest this valuable rule arouses amon? the pupils. Each room Btrives dlligent'y and with commendable zeal to win the half holiday, an! pupils are prompt in reaching school as never before. It has reduced- tardi ness to a minimum and has a most beneficial effect in every way. LONDON BRIDGE. Proud and lowly, bengar and lord. Over the bridge they go; Rags and velvet fetter and sword, Poverty, pomp and woe. Li 11 eh ins, weeping, hurrying ever, Hour by hour they crowd along, While, below, the mighty river Sings them all a mocking song. Hurry alone, Forrow and song. All Is vanity 'neath the sun; Velvet and rags, Fo the world wags, Until the river no more shall run.

Storm and sunshine, peace and strife, Over the bridge they go; Floitlne on In the tide of life Whither no man shall know. Who will miss them there tomorrow Waifs that drift to the shade or sun? Oone a'vv with their songs and sor row; Only the river still flows on. Hurry along, Forrow and song. All l vsnlty 'neath the sun; Velvet and rags, Fo the world wags.

Shaf roth has replied at length to the arti cle by ex-Presldunt Cleveland In the Ladles' Home Journal, entitled, "Would Woman Suffrage be Un wise?" In his reply Mr. Shafroth has completely demolished every thnniy of Mr. Cleveland and denied about every statement that he made of so called facts. In replying to Mr. Cleveland's as sertion that "even If every woman should excrcjse the right of suffrage the votes of the thoughtful and con scientious would almost certainly be largely outweighed by those of the disreputable, the Ignorant, the thmifshllt-NW. the purchase and the corerced," Mr. Shafroth says: "In that declaration the assumption Is made either that tho bad and Ig norant women are In the majority, or that the good women will not vote, both of which I most emphatically deny. "Who are these women whom many seem to fear will have n corrupting Influence on elections If given the right to vote? They are our mothers, our wives and our daughters. Is there a man In high or low life, In moral or degraded position, who be lieves his mother, wife or daughter would be more corrupt than ho In exercising the elective franchise? "Woman's Influence has always been for good, and in no sphere has this been better demonstrated than in politics. The election polls since the advent of woman suffrage in Colorado, with the exception of a few In the low parts of the cities, have been transformed into aa respectable places of meeting as dry goods stores or public halls. Aa a general rule the rowdy element, which was wont to assemble at and remain around tho polls all day, la wanting. ' "The precinct caucuses for pri maries are usually held at the resi dences of the most respectable peo ple. The restraining influence of the presence of women has greatly Im proved the tone of political conven tions. "This influence has been felt most, perhaps. In the character of the nom inations made by each political par ty. Many men, after denouncing a candidate as dishonest and Immoral before his nomination, support htm at the election because they believe that they must have a consistent par ty record in order to get subsequent recognition from their party. Women have no political records to keep consistent. "To such an extent is the moral In fluence of women felt that If an Immoral candidate Is mentioned the argument Is Immediately used that the women will not support him, ami he is generally defeated for nomina tion, or his name is not presented to the convention. ' . "Woman's presence In politics has Introduced an Independent element which rompe's better nominations and better officials-." ' ' NATIONAL HOUSEKEEPING.
