I heard a sweet voice singing in the night A tender love-song written years ago To ease a poet's heart of that ! deep woe Bormne of long absence from its drear delight: And as the music like a bird took flight Across the shadowed world and vanished so, I thought of him who wrote It did he know How time would keep his fewel-lyrlc bright? O poet of today, whose heart would sing Some simple song of love, and sweet words give To mate the melody that thrills the lut Sing on, nor heed what lips are j murmuring u eiuui juur twi; one per- Tj leci song snail live For love and you long after they are mute! Frank Demster Sherman. - : LOWELL AND THE PEOPLE. I The Salem Journal pays the follow- Jng elegant tribute to Judge Stephen j .a. lyoweu, canaiaate ior tne oriice or United States senate: Stephen A. Lowell of Pendleton, met with a very favorable reception Jn his opening campaign speech at Salem from the republicans generally. Of course, the people who regard .the senatorshlp as a private political preserve didn't like his breaking in here. They did not attend his 'meeting, :shut him out- of their organ, and otherwise manifested their displeas ure at his appearance. They passed the word around that he was a bolter, and was not wanted as a republican candidate for that of fice. But Lowell cues on. He sustains Roosevelt, talks for dl- Tect election of a senator, and es- pouses popular republican principles that do not please the grafters. wincr iu,.u .u ""pa,t.- State, funds have been used by oil Lowell. Me is not wanted, tie ' is too clean. He talks out to the j people. A muzzled candidate must m nau' If a man can talk to the peole, gct their votes and land In the United States senate without a barrel, what will become of the hold-up artists, of the patronage peddlers and senate makers on the old line?

De pew without feeling a sensation of pity for the foolish old man, says the Memphis News-Sclmltar. , He is said to be living a hermit on a, country' estate, where only a few , of his most Intimate friends are per-' Longworth was quite unexpectedly jnltted to see him.

He may promise to return to the senate, but he Is less than like-' ly to, even should " he recover his health. The pitiable part of it Is that with all the opportunities tor rearing a noble structure, the wreck Is not magnificent. He spent his life In the service of Mammon, and when he leaves, even Mammon will not mourn him. GOVERNMENT RAILROADS. Senator Newlands of Nevada yes terday openly announced in the sen ate that he was In favor of the gov ernment ownership of railroads, and advocated an amendment to the rail road rate bill authorizing the national Incorporation of railroads. This breaks the Ice In the pluto cratic senate. This Is a voice of the people crying out against the monster monopoly of the railway trust, and n peuuie uroppeo. lino the water of senatorial discussion ' wl" spread the overwhelming waves of popular sentiment until the nation alization of the railroads will have been accomplished. It would be simple for the govern ment to build a transcontinental line of railroad for the people. It has already built two or three lines for the corporations. A government system operated at small profit, say four or six per cent on the Investment,' would reduce rnil- road rates and take away the keen edge of the railroad monopoly. This reform comes stowly, because of the Immense opposition from the trusts. Government operation nnd ownership of railroads would lead to government operation of the coal mines In the interests of the people, j and later government operation of the oil wells In the Interest of the people, and later operation of the steamship j and cable and telegraph and tele- : phone lines for the good of the pub lic, so when you stick a pin Into the railroad monopoly, all the other monopolies In the country Jump to ; their feet and begin fighting for their 'rights" Government ownership will be the Inext great national Issue. William R. Hearst has already sounded the clarion call of this campaign Issue. Heargt or Roo8evelt take a stnnd upon this great platform in the I next presidential election, he will weop thc coun,ry The ac(lf)n ()f the plutocratic senate on the railroad rate bill and the opposition to the presi dent's rate regulation, ' have multi plied the government ownership ad vocates tenfold. Government ownership is the only means of escape from the trust. STATE TREASURER GRAFT. It Is remarkable to note the anxiety of . candidates for the office of state treasurer to make it clear that tney are willing to distribute state funds to banks in counties where state moneys originate, rather than concentrate the state funds in some favorite bank, from which the state treasurer may grow fat. This state treasurer's office has been ue(J to mtre corrupt pUrp()8es than any other state office. In the the treasurers for their own private benefit and profit, without discrlmln- i atlon, and this Is a late day for the spasm of decency to strike the polltl- ca, party an(, rmg whch ha c(m. trolled this office for years. The power of the country press, which has demanded that this corrupt practice cease, Is responsible for the change of sentiment among candi dates. The East Oregontan hopes to see the state treasurers' graft stopped by the Just Indignation of the people. The state Bhould enjoy any bene fits coming from the use of state funds. This office has fattened enough officials. : A LONGWORTH AND LONGFELLOW. jt was shortly before his marriage to Alice Roosevelt that Congressman so he said only "Our names are almost similar, aren't they?" Mr. Longfellow smiled kindly. "Yes," he quickly quoted; "'worth makes the man and the lack of It the fellow.'" WHEN EASTER COMES with its lilies the fish begin to bite.

Frazier's Book Store THE CHINOOK WIND White and cold was the robe that ' Uy Over the Oregon hills away; ' Coldly the mountain's lifted face Gleamed In Its wintry crown's em brace. The white-robed hill as a sentinel, stands Like a waiting nun with folded hands; Hushed Is the pulse of the singing stream, Coldly brilliant the forests gleam; Wierd and ghastly, with frozen lips The earth from its flagon of Silence sips; The heart of the hills beats low, beats low. For cruel and heavy Its burden of snow; ' The voice of the hills is faint, Is faint. But never Is lifted In sad complaint, For a patient Jade Is the humble earth Meekly waiting the Springtime's birth! And then on the western sea afar. The Gate of the Winds Is left ajar, And softly stealing on timid wing, A soft wind comes from the Garden of Spring! And oh, ' the kiss of her passionate mouth. Warm with the breath of the lan guorous South! And oh, the touch of her thrilling hand, Soft as a lover's upon the land! She steals to the wintry tyrant's lair And ta,ngles her fingers Into his hair; Her hot breath kisses his pallid cheek His lips of Silence in wonder Bpeak! And oh, how the quivering touch of her hand Stirs and awakens the pulseless land! And oh. how the heart of the world leaps wild By the warm Chinook of the West be guiled!

While there ere a grent many schol ars who are of the opinion that the Invention of gunpowder Is to be at tributed to Roger Bacon, It Is by no means settled that the grand old Franclsclnn is entitled to the honor. ' In fact, the Invention of gunpowder Is veiled by a thick mystery which In all probability, will never be cleared up. ' But the Inventor, whoever he may have been, was the unconscious means of Introducing the greatest agent of human good that history knows any thing about. t To be sure, gunpowder has been made to be the means of the mangling and murdering of millions of the hu man race, and of the destruction of billions upon billions of property; but, notwithstanding all this, the good that gunpowder has done vastly outweighs the evil. Before the invention of gunpowder there were practically but two sorts of people soldiers and theologians. The men who would not enter the church had to go Into the army. The only business of mankind was war and religion the killing of one another and the saving of the souls of those that had been killed. There was neither trade, nor commerce, nor manufactures; there was no science, no literature! Gunpowder, so soon as it came Into common use about the end of the 14th century established a hard and fast distinction between the "civil" nnd the "military,' created the "standing army," and left the rnnk and file of the people free to follow the pursuits of peace and the arts that make for civilization. Thus, to use the words of Mr. Buck le, ''the European mind. Instead of being, as heretofore, solely occupied ! ..Frazer SOMETHING EXCEFDINGLY GOOD Murray & Mack IX "Around the Town" The Laughing Event o: the Season.

But for gunpowder, or something equivalent, the squalor nnd wretched ness, the superstition nnd slavery, of the dark ages would probably have kept right on. nor would they have ended but with the extinction of the race Itself.
