TWO NATIVE SONS.
The Boise Capital News, an Inde
pendent paper, has taken notice of the
Oregon campaign, and In a recent Is
sue commends two native sons of
Oregon who are before the people for
"high offices.
The News may be said to represent
the outside view of Oregon's , cam
paign and its sentiment is at least un
prejudiced. Its view of a mixed po
litical complexion In the state supreme
court Is certainly commendable and
Its comparison of Bourne"nd Oearln
Is to the point. The News says:
Thomas G. Halley. son of our for
mer congressman and pioneer, Hon.
John Halley, is a candidate for Justice
M the supreme court In Oregon and
'.his chances for election are extremely
good. He was appointed to a place
on the supreme bench when Judge
Wolvertpn was made United States
Judge by Pre l lent Roosevelt, and
his work so far on the bench has
placed him In the highest rank as a
Jurist. It is becoming generally rec
ognized that a bench divided politi
cally is best for the people, and It Is
confidently expected that Judge Hal
Jey wi'l be elected.
' Senator John M. Gearln, a native of
TTmatllla county. Is alio a candidate
for election; nt the primaries held
last month he was nominated by the
democrats and against him the repub
licans have placed Jonathan Bourne.
There Is no comparison as to ability,
Integrity and honesty between the
two men, and Senator Gearln, when
placed along with Jonathan Bourne,
shines as a diamond along with com
mon glass.
LAWS FOR THE PEOPLE.
The law Increasing the funds to:
school districts and thereby giving In
creased pay to school teachers, Is the
work of Walter Pierce, who has serv
ed Umatilla county In the state senate
for the past four years.
He wrote the school law which
gave each district $8 per capita for
ach pupil thus increasing very great
ly the resources of the small districts'.
He wrote the bill at first to give each
district $8 per capita, but was forced
to cut down this amount and take a
$6 per capita tax.
This law has enabled country dis
tricts to pay larger salaries and every
teacher In Oregon Is today enjoying '
rthe fruits of this wise law.
., , ., . . , .
Another law which has helped the I
eastern Oregon counties wonderfully.
Is the law, by Pierce, to postpone the
apportionment of state taxes on the
basis of the county expenses, until
1909.
When that law goes Into effect In
1908, If It Is not changed. It will In-
P Si
crease the state taxes of the thinly
settled counties almost 100 per cent
The small counties of the AVlllamotte
valley, where sa urioa are small, and
roads are easily maintained, where
distances travele 1 by officials are
very short and mileage light In con
sequence, wanted s::.h a law, for they
saw that their comity expenses would
sparsely settled counties of eastern
" , , ,
Oregon, so they passed a law fixing
This gives the big courlles of east
em Oregon the wnr. t of It, and but for
the bill of Walter Pleree, postponing
the Iniquitous law until 1909, Umatll
la, I'nlon and Morrow counties would
now be paying almost double their
present stilt tux.
In 1909. unless some other law Is
passed, the Willamette valley law will
go into effect and eastern Oregon
counties with their small settlements
and long distances to travel and large
number of county roads to keep up,
will be paying an unjust proportion
of state taxes.
If Walter Pierce goes to the senate
again he will be prepared to defend
the eastern Oregon counties with
some Just law which will place
burdens alike on all the counties.
the
INSURANCE HEROISM.
According to estimate" 105 insur
ance companies with insurance In San
Francisco are called upon to pay ap
proximately 1144,000,000.
Never before has the fire insurance
business been confronted by such an
enormous responsibility.
It is believed, with possibly three or
four exceptions, the companies will
pay every penny. Indeed,, some are
paying already. They are rivaling one
another In efforts to relieve distress
as quickly as possible.
No such general Insurance insolven
cy as followed the Chicago fire is
threatened. Company treasuries in
many instances will be emptied and
stockholders. Instead of the Joy of
dividends, will have the woe of assess
ments but the money will be found.
Only 40 companies and these mostly
small, paid their Chicago losses, the
total paid being only $7,262,000.
But it is different today. The
$140,000,000 will be paid, and that
promptly.
It means sacrifice and self-denial In
hundreds of cases, and perhaps the
laying of heavy mortgages to meet
these unexpected demands, but they
are being met with courage and fi
delity. It Is a magnificent spectacle of
heroism where heroism Is prosaically
hard and finds little glory.
But It is the kind of heroism of
which American business men are
capable in any crisis.
It Is upon such courage and probity
as this that the marvelous business
structure of this country Is founded.
NO MIRACLE IX SEATTLE.
The spectacle of the widow of
Creffleld, waiting for hours at his
grave in Seattle, for the dead leader
of the Holy Rollers to arise, seems
grewsome.
It was strangely, weirdly out of
place In Seattle.
Seattle, the commercial wanton of
the great new northwest, the cruel
maelstrom of vice and wordllncss
how utterly out of place a miracle In
her environs.
If It were not for the Insanity of the
act, this vigil at the grave of Cref
fleld would be beautiful. But re
memberlng Creffleld's life and know-
Ing the fanatical zeal of his wife and
followers, the spectac.e Is robbed of
all Its beauty and romance.
It Is grewsome. It Is a naked bar
barity. It Is a crude and inexcusable
blasphemy.
Ople Read says Seattle is the
wickedest city In the world. And he
had tried many of them. Anywhere
in the world except Seattle, such zeal
would seem sacred, but In the pres
ence of her slnB It loses Its charm.
HOW DO YOU SLEEP?
At this time of the year, when most
housewives are busily engaged with
their spring cleaning, one or two per
tinent remarks regarding the direction

compass. It Is a well known fact
that by some mysterious force In na
ture the sap of trees Is gradually
driven towards the east, so that they
develop more on that side.
From this singular phenomenon It
Is argued that when we remain In bed
for several hours with our heads to
ward the east this mysterious power
tends to drive the liquids of our
bodies from west to east, and our
blood has a tendency to flow towards
the brain, so that we sleep uncomfor
tably and find ourselves much less
refreshed when we awake than if our
feet had pointed eastward. So to se
cure pound and refreshing sleep our
beds should always stand north and
south, and the sleeper ought to lie
with his head northward, as this mys

weary deserves to be much more
widely known than It Is. Medical

WALT WHITMAN- OX DEATH.
In thet wonderful poem which Walt
Whitman wrote in memory of Lin
coln, "When Lilacs Last In the Door-
yard Bloomed." he gives his Interpre
tation of death.
"Praised be the fathomless universe.
For life and Joy. and for objects and
knowledge curious,
And for love, sweet love but praise!
praise! praise!
For the sure-enwlndlng arms of cool-
enfolding death.
Dark mother, always gliding near with
roft feet,
Have none chanted for thee a chant
of fullest welcome?
Then T chant It for thee, I glorify thee
nhove all.
I bring thee a song that when thou
must Indeed come, come unfal
teringly." "While my slffht that was bound In
my eyes unclosed,
As to long panoramas of vision.
And I raw nskant the armies.
I saw as In noiseless dreams hundreds
of battle-flags.
Borne through the smoke of the bat
tles and pierced with missiles
I saw them.
And carried hither and yon through
the smoke, and torn and
bloody.
And at last but a few shreds left on
the staffs (and all In silence!)
And the staffs nil splintered and
broken. '
I saw battle corpses, myriads of them.
And the white skeletons of young men.
I saw them;
I saw the debris and debris of all the
slain soldiers of the war.
But T saw they were not as was
. thought.
They themselves were fully at rest,
they suffered not;
The living remained and suffered, the
mother suffered,
And the wife and the child and the
musing comrade suffered,
And the armies that remained suf
fered." COMING EVENTS.

Plans are being made for building
two new lines of railroad to reach the
Interior of Arabia. The difficulties
which the Turkish government has
been experiencing with Arabian Insur
gents has resulted In official plans be
ing made to build a railroad from Ho
deldah, on the Red sea, to Sannaa,
200 miles. At Sannaa 75,000 Turkish
troopB are quartered. A French en
gineering corps, under an armed es
cort, Is making surveys for the gov
ernment. The road Is necessary for
military operations, but will be avail
able for commercial purposes. San
naa Is the largest city In southern
Arabia, and Is 5000 feet above the
sea level. The English government
has authorized the building of a rail
road from Adan to the British mili
tary post at D'thala. It Is expected
that bids for the work will be asked
during the present month. Conaular

speech, quoted a significant passage
from Adum Smith's "Wealth of Na
