Oh. for the thrill of the morn
ing When the sun strikes through
the mist.
And the dewdrops shine on
blossom and vine
Like faces that love has
kissed;
When the birds are singing In
gladness.
Half mad with the joy of life.
And the soul knows a rune
which is set to a tune
That banishes care and strife.
It is. oh. to be living, living
In the good old world today!
With the sunlight's cheer to
gladden us here.
The storm king beaten and'
cowed to fear.
Tis a good old world. I say!

THE IDAHO CRIME.
There are two sides to the murder
of ex-Governor Frank Steunenberg
and the prosecution of those charged
with the crime.
That the murder of that honorable
and foremost citizen of Idaho was
damnable and atrocious in the ex
treme, no one will deny. That his
murderers should be hunted down
and made to pay the utmost penalty,
no one will deny. That it is the duty
of the officers and the people of
Idaho and the entire northwest . to
co-operate to detect and punish those
dastardly cowards who have laid in
wait for years for this fearless gov
ernor, no one denies
But let us be temperate. There Is
a mineowners' association In the
United States Just as dastardly in Its
conceptions and Just as merciless in
its executions as the Western Federa
tion of Miners ever dared be. In ad
dition it has millions In money and
hired rascals In Its employ to carry
out its designs and accomplish its
purposes.
When the Independence. Col., de
pot was blown up with dynamite two
years ago and 14 men killed, did not
the bloodhound trace the steps of the
man who fired the bomb that killed
these men, to the door of a hired de
tective of the Mineowners" associa
tlon?
Was not the bloodhound called off
Immediately when this fact became
public?
The mineowners are determined to
crush out the miners' union. To this
end the officers of the union will be
brought into disrepute and made to
bear the brunt of every crime that It
is possible to saddle upon them.
This is not a defense of the miners
nor their union, where there Is proof
that they have done wrong, but It la
a defense of them against the dastard
ly persecutions of the Mineowners'
association which, It is alleged, main
tains detectives, thugs, dynamiters
and assassins to commit crimes which
may be charged to the miners.
There are two sides to this case and
the people must be careful that they
do not get the wrong criminal by the
throat, in their passion.
IlOl'KNE'S MONEY BAGS.
A southern Oregon paper says that
if Jonathan Bourne, Jr., Is selected by
the people of Oregon as their choice
for the United .States senate. It will
be through his persistent advertising.
Bourne is a prince of advertisers.
His money bags are ample. It Is
even ald he paid the Pendleton
Tribune 1300 for carrying his picture
and his "hooray" platform during the
campaign, as small and restricted as
the Tribune's influence and circula
tion Is.
Rut. will Bourne's money bags. off
set his past record In Oregon? Will
his 3oo contributions to tho Pendle
ton Tribune and other little papers in
Oregon wipe away the recollection of
the unspeakable headquarters he
maintained In the Eldridge block In
Salem, during the zenith of his glo.y
a few years ago?
Will his money bags give him a
clean, clear, untarnished record?
Will advertising himself and running
his picture In country papers conceal
his past record In Oregon politics?
Let the people answer.
If he used money and depraved
methods In Salem a few years ago
to tie up the legislature on the sena
torial question, Is he any better now?
Do the people of Oregon wish to se
lect a man with such a record to rep
resent them In the highest law-making
body In the land?
Eastern Oregon and Willamette
valley, the two great arms of the
commonwealth of Oregon, by which
the overgrown baby Portland Is
fed, must unite on a clean, capable,
untarnished man, who still represent
all the state and In whom there are
more qualifications than those In
cluded In a million-dollar fortune and
a paid advertising agency.
THE RESURRECTION.
The Filipinos have a native news
paper in Manila, called "El Renaci
mlento," (The Resurrection), devot
ed to the elevation of native life, and
character, the advocacy of American
Ideals of government and the uplift
ing of the Ignorant Filipino from his
present abject state to a plane of In
telligent citizenship.
Thus are the shameless American
grafters In the colonial service re
buked by the feeble upward strug
gle of the savage. Seeing the Ameri
can in freedom and progress. Inspires
the Filipino with a desire to climb
higher. It Is an Innate principle In
the human mind, this desire to go
forward, to ascend to higher planes.
Were the Filipinos given an intelli
gent, honest, fraternal assistance by
the American with whom they come
in contact, they would soon become
civilized, hopeful, progressiva.
But as long as they are exploited by
grafters and commercial pirates, the
resurrection will never come into
their minds and hearts.
On the Umatilla reservation the In
dians have formed a society for the
betterment of the tribe. It may seem
grotesque to those of us who know
Joe Craig, the half-breed interpreter,
to think of him as presiding officer
over a council of his tribesmen, in
which the betterment and uplifting of
the tribe are to be considered.
But there again is seen the strug
ling dawn of the mental and moral
resurrection of the savage. The ten
dency is upward, forward. Intelligent
co-operation and honest dealing from
the whites will encourage and im
prove the Indian. His organization
may seem grotesque and ogre In our
way of looking at the Indian In every
day life but beneath his outward na
ture there is that eternal hope, the
desire to Imitate the better element
in civilized life.
Slowly the resurrection is dawning
In the mln and heart of the Indian,
the Kaffir, the Sepoy, the negro and
the Filipino. Intelligent and honest
co-operation of the whites In every
part of the world will cause this dawn
to burst Into full splendor upon these
groveling races.
The white man's stupidity a?id cu
pidity forbid the resurrection.
The people of Oregon understand
what statement No. 1 means. The
politicians are trying to twist it out
of shape, to evade it, to find excuses
for refusing to take the pledge, but
the people are as intelligent as the
candidates and the newspapers. The
pledge means that the member of
the legislature will vote for the peo
pie's choice for senator. True, there
Is no penalty for the refusal to sign
this pledge. But Oregon Is sick of the
politician and the heeler. The people
have determined to check the progress
of the boss and redeem the state
from Its disgrace. Those candidates
who refuse to take the pledge are de
fylng the people. They are saying
that the boss, and not the common

people of Oregon, is supreme in the
state legislature. There is no way In
which this pledge can be evaded by a
man who has the Interest of the peo
ple nt heart. ' It saj's the legislator
shall vote for the people's choice. Is
there anything hidden or misunder
stood about this plain statement? On
what grounds can a candidate having
the Interest of the people at heart,
refuse to take such a broad pledge?
THE CITY.
They do neither plight nor wed,
In the city of the dead,
in the city where they sleep away
the hours:
But they lie, while o'er them range
Winter-blight and summer change,
An l,a hundred happy whisperings of
flowrs.
No, they nellher wed nor plight,
And the day Is like the night.
For their vision is of other kind than
ours.
They do neither sing nor sigh,
In that burg of by and by.
Where the streets hiwe grasses grow
ing cool and long;
But they rest within their bed,
Leaving all their thoughts unsaid,
Deeming silence better fur than sob
or song.
No, they neither sigh nor sing.
Though the robin be a-wlng.
Though the leaves of autumn march
a million strong.
There is only rest and peace.
In the City of Surcease
From the failings and the walllngs
'neath the sun,
And the wings of the swift years
Beat out gently o'er the biers,
Making music to the sleepers every
one.
There is only peace and rest;
But to them It seemelh best,
For they lie at ease and know that
life Is done.
Richard Burton.
ISLANDS SWEIT BY WAVES.
A tornado swept the Society and
Tuamotu Islands, In the South Pacific
ocean, February 7 and 8. The dam
age In Tahiti Is estimated at one mil
lion dollars, and presumably a similar
amount of property was destroyed on
the Tuamotu Islands. The city of Pa
peete was inundated and about 75
buildings destroyed. Including the
American consulate and the French
government building.
The schooner Papeete was sub
merged for an hour near Anaa, Tu
amotu. Her captain. Philip Mlchaeli.
estimated that the waves were 6 5
feet high. It wus Impossible to see
2ft feet away. Bridges and roads
were badly damaged on the Islands
of Tahiti. Bread fruit, cocoanut,
banana and plantain trees were blown
down in great numbers, which will
result In hardships to the natives and
materially affect commerce during
the next two or three years. The
French gunboat Zelee has gone to the
Tuamotu Islands with supplies of food
and fresh water.
The British consul has appealed to
his government for aid for 500 British
subjects. Some Americans have sus
tained heavy losses and probably
there will be a few Instances of utter
destitution. The Americans are hope
ful of securing help from the
United States. Money and food are
required.
The cyclone or hurricane reached
the velocity of 120 miles an hour. It
struck the Islands about midnight
February 7 and continued until about
4 o'clock on the next afternoon.

THE SILENT LITE.
Happy the man who has the poet's
heart,
E'en though he lack the poet's gol
den tongue!
Happy Is he who having never sung
And hopeless e'er to sing" though but
small part
Of those fair visions that before him
start
Still lives within a world forever
young
Still walks In high fancies, noble
thoughts among,
And feels the influence which the
planets dart.
His life is fed from pure unfailing
springs;
And silent flows, a stranger to un
rest, Like some deep stream that finds
Its voiceless way
Amid the timorous haunts of all wild
things,
And there unconscious beauty day
by day
Mirrors within the quiet of Its breast.
