Homer Davenport says that maps and political divisions of the world are but temporary' and useless bounds between peoples, and that over all and thru all the world, the same spirit of kinship, of brotherhood runs as a golden thread. Ptvt-nport sat at the fireside of a desert shiek and told him, thru an Interpreter, tales of his old home In Oregon, his mother and his father and his childhood. Tears ran down the face of the old sheik, and he said that he, too, had had similar experiences and had loved and cherished home and parents as had this white man from the other side of the world. They were no longer strangers. The same warm Impulses ran thru their lies, the same loves and hatred, aspi rations and dreams had stirred alike the American and the desert king. After all, it is one little family. Races, countries, customs, govern ments are but parts of the household f the world. Government ownership of railroads would eliminate graft In the handling of malls, for the government would be only Interested In handling of malls for the government, would be only lnttrester in handling mall as cheaply as possible and there would b no powerful railroad lobby in con gress to prejudice legislation. It would eliminate graft in railroad bildlng becaue the government would own all railroads bllt and there would be no speculation in railroad bonds nor manipulation of congress to In flate such bunds for securing unjust profits for private owners. Where Is there a chance for specu latlon In the postofflce system? Where Is there a record of any terrible calam lty becauze the government owning and conducting the postofflce depart ment from the mail boxes on ; tha street corners to the postofflce bild lng In the national capital" Government ownership, instead o encouraging the dishonesty and graft of the past, under private ownership, .'would remove that menace and make the railroads one of the parts of gov eminent, the same as the postofflce department, the treazury department or the printing department. The same rugged, vigorous, capable class of men who run these prezent departments of the government can run the railroaddepartment with the same practical spirit and with the same excellent r-zu!ts. The rezu'vs of private ownership of the railroads is seen 111 Portland, where the big systems are fighting for entrance Into that" city. Portland should be a city of 200,000 people to day, with her magnificent resources both Industrial and commercial, but a lack ot proper facilities and the ex istence of excessive rates, by sea and, land, have held her back at least 20 years In her growth. The profits which should have re mained with the producer to help him develop the state are sent to Wall street to make ammunition for the railroad lobby In Washington, which is employed to check any legislation which threatens to regulate or re strain the lust of the trusts. Under government ownership Port land would have adequate facilities and reazonable rates. There would be no rival systems to make her pros perity and welfare a victim of their disastrous wars. In the September number of Har t's Magazine, W. D. Howells gives his reasons for advocating spelling f o-ni : , Let each who hns the common wel fare and happiness at heart spell aj he likes, at this time or that, without regard to the way he spelled at any other time, hu says. His wildest vag ary will not be worse than the usage established by authority and conse crated by ouperstltlon. le could scarcely blunder Into any thing more offensive than the forms he learned by heart with tears of an guish In childhood, and in manhood employed with a never-passing fear that he had not after nil obeyed at eve the misleading voice obeyed at prime. It would be well for each to begin the righteous revolt by spelling his own name In the variorum fashion of Shakespeare, or Shakespear, or Shakespero, as he Indifferently wrote himself. The great point is for peo ple to write their names In as many different forms as possible, after the manner of the great poet, who must have been prescient of some such method of reform In the far future as we have been forecasting. As It Is, we do not spell at all. We memorize the outward shape of words and put their "Infinitely repellent par ticles" together as well as we can re member how to put "hem together as we learned them; probably the man, and certainly the woman, does not live who hns never felt a doubt as to his or her spelling of some word, and hesitated a single letter In place of a double 'one. . Only those who have received the training rf printers can feel at all se cure of themselves, perhaps, becau.e their wicked tribe Invented the de formity of our spelling, and has in herlted the secret of it. Is Disease a Crime? Not very long ago, a popular msiwlne published an editorial article In which tlio writer it-wertcd, In substance, that all disease should be. regarded as criminal. Certain It is, that much of the sickness and suffering of mankind is dun to the violation ot certain of Nature's laws. But to say that all sickness should be regarded as criminal, must appeal to very reasonable individual as radically wrong. . . . It would be harsh, unsympathetic, cruel, yes criminal, to condemn the poor, weak, over-worked housewife whoakinks under the heavy loud of household cares and burdens, and sulTera from weak nesses, various displacements of pelvic organs and other derangements peculiar to her sex. Frecuent bearing of children, with it ex t.Hnir ildmimli unon the system. couDled with the care, worry and labor of rearing- a large family. Is often the cause ot weak nesses, derangements and debility which are aggravated by the many household caret, and the hard, and nerer-eiiding work which the mother is called upon to perform. Dr. Pitv a. the maker of that world-famed rem- dy for woman's peculiar weaknesses and ills Pt. Pierce's Favorite Prescription aaya that one of the greateat obstacles to the cur of this class of laaladiea Is the fact that the poor, over-worked housewife can not get the neeaea rest rrora ner many oouswnoiu caraa and latter to enable her to aecure from tha use of his " Prescription "Its full benefit.

Concerning the oppression of ponnl employes bv political bosses, ho con trol patronise, a dispatch from Spo k;ini? says: The t"".ii-nl"le states today that the recent a'.-tLi.i of the postofflce depart ment In fining two railway mail clerks for public criticism of a railway Is re suiting In an organized effort among the clerks to secure the right of free dom of speech. At present the tle P ii tmeiil in.-Uts that nil criticism af fecting the service or the railway?, carrying the malls, should go thru the department alone, fines having been imposed because of letters writ ten to a newspaper. It Is stated that the mail clerks from Srok.1110 to Los Angeles are shaping plans to secure congressional action which will abolish such rules. The trouble nrose because of criticism of the condition of the Great Northern track near Chain Lake, where a fatal wreck occurred In July. BIRTH OF THE FAIR SPIRIT. The following Item, from the Wall Street Journal concerning the $2,000,' 000 mansion of Henry C. Frlck, the steel magnate, la a sample of the kind of propaganda which Is making more socialism and social discontent in thla country, than any other form of agi tatlon. ; The Journal says: "The summer home Just completed at Pride's Crossing, Mass., by Henry C. Frlck, of Pittsburg, is attracting much attention. It costs, approxi mately. $2,000,000, and to utilize the site a residence worth $75,000 was de molirht, "It cost Mr. Frlck $80,000 to fence In his estate of 27 acres, and the sta ble for the mansion Is worth the tidy sum of $100,000, and is 115 by 48 feet. bllt of gray sandstone, and Its height Is the equivalent of the modern four story house. "The mansion itself Is 160 by 80 feet on the plan, and is of gray stone and brick. It requires 150 servants and other employes to do the work on the premises." This mansion which Is to be the Everybody who has seen the Umatilla-Morrow county fair, says It will be better, next year, altho it is excel lent this year. More time will be taken In collecting exhibits, people will know how and where to begin and will know what they want for ex hibit purposes, and in what condition, and next year will see even a more magnificent display of the resources of the two countries than is seen this week. The fair spirit has Just had Its birth in these counties. This Is but the beginning of the fair agitation and development. The commissioners yes terday met and mutually pledged to keep it alive, nurture it, develop It, In spire It with new life from year to year and make it a mirror of the In dustrial resources of the counties. This is the compact by which the fair will grow and mature. The com mission Is composed of earnest, prac tical men who have learned lessons this year which will blossom Into fruitage next year.

Stand aid OH officials can be given free passes on all railroads because tha pipe lines of the Standard Oil are common carriers and common cariers are permitted to give and accept free pusses among themselves. Then John D. Rockefeller is one shipper who does not have to pay his way. But it Is a one-sided arrangement. John D. can take, but he cannot give. As the Bos ton Herald says, no railroad man would care for free transportation through the old pipes, smooth as might be the way. It's a great thing to be the owner of a pipe line. Get you one.
