Why, he
Who knows, and knowing, never
once forgets
The iedigree divine of his own
soul,
Can conquer, shape and govern
destiny.
And use vast space as 'twere a
hoard of chess,
With stars for pawns; can
change his horoscope
To suit his will, turn failure to
success,
And from preordained sorrows
harvest joy.
There is no puny planet, sun or
moon.
Or zodiacal sign which can con
trol The God In us: If we bring
that to hear
Upon eventr, we mould them to
our wish:
'Ti when the infinite 'neath
tho finite gropes
That men are governed by their
horoscopes.

RAILROAD REGULATION.
It is evident from the tone of the
resolutions passed by the Eugene
commercial convention, that some
thing will be doing in railroad legis
lative matters at the coming session
of the Oregon legislature.
Many prominent legislators were in
the Eugene convention and the sen
timent of that convention must ences
sarily be a hint of their personal sen
timent In the matters discussed.
For a quarter of a century the rail
roads of the state have been free to
do as they have desired in matters in
which the public Is vitally Interested.
There Is a promise now, that a meas
ure of regulation will take the place
of this absolute freedom so long en
Joyed. Where the business of the coun
try depends so vitally upon the facili
ties am! conduct cf great corporations
it seems that there must be some cer
tain means of regulating the corpora
tions, that the public may be served
adequately.
FOR A STATE HIGHWAY.
The Salem Journal favors the con
struction of a magnificent state high
way from Portland to Ashland, to be
constructed by the convicts of the
penitentiary. That would be a de
light for Willamette valley. It would
add millions of property values along
the rcute of the road. It would make
travel pleasant and easy, would In
duce people to make the trip through
the beautiful valley and would be
profitable to the Willamette counties
In every way.
But how about the vast roadless
stretches of eastern Oregon?
Where would the eastern Oregon
counties be benefited by this excel
lent highway built by state labor?
The East Oregonlan believes In good
roads and especially In magnificent
highways of this kind leading through
entire states. They bring the people
closer together. They encourage
travel. They make people acquainted
with their neighbors In distant parts
of the state and Is altogether desira
ble. This paper will favor the construc
tion of a great highway from Port
land to Ashland, built by convict la
bor, If the state will agree at the same
time to construct a like road from
Milton to Ashland, via Pendleton, and
another from Ontario to Ashland, thus
giving all parts of the state like fa
cilities and advantages.
Let us have three great state roads
converging from Aahland north,
northeast and east through Oregon.
This la fair. This would give the
poorer counties of eastern - Oregon a
valuable asset and would induce travel
through eastern Oregon as well as In
Willamette valley, where railroads and
electric roads are plentiful, already.
FUTURE OF SMALL FARMS.
The St. John Journal predicts a
bright future for the wheat fields of
eastern Washington when small farms
become the rule In Intensive soil hus
bandry, says the Seattle Post-Intelll-
Renccr.
It suggests a condition of paved
street, electric lights and other gen
eral public Improvements In every
city and village that now has a strug
gle for existence. Such modern ad
vantages will rome as a result of the
dividing of old farms and making
room for new people. Although the
picture may be fanciful to some, it
certainly has a good color, and is In
line with the progression characters-
tic of small farming districts In all
sections of the world.
Old methods are passing away In
the Pa'ouse country. The Journal
states that the age of speculative far
mers, having large areas and many
cayuses, with big mortgages on every
thing, has practically passed. It was
followed by the period of renters who
did not attempt to do any work ex
cept to reap whatever the land pro
duced. Both systems proved disastrous to
the community, and prevented in
creased population of farmers deslr
lnp homes in the country. The old
style land holders lived in the towns
and cities and visited their possessions
only when money was called for by
the bankers.
With the disappearing of such ex
perimental farmers, the era of home
building has been Introduced. It
moans everything that tends to the
up-bullding of city and country. It
means more and better schools and
churches. It means more perfect
methods of transportation and com
mercial connection of the farmers and
business interests.
It means permanent homes built on
small holdings, that will remain for
ever as taxpayers and habitations of
happy and contented families. There
is a future under such conditions that
betokens good for both city and coun
try. It means more acres under suc
cessful cultivation and more dollars
for the work of farming.
Seventy-five per. cent of the busi
ness of the world Is transacted be
tween the hours of 8 a. m. and 4 p. m.
All the world is moving briskly be
tween those hours. The big news
Items happen during the day. At
night aa much as possible of the
world's traffic Is stilled. The after
noon papers the world over give the
news of each day as It happens. The
morning papers must necessarily give
a rehash 15 hours later. The evening
or afternoon paper Is read under the
evening lamp while the family Is
gathered about the fireside. The rush
Is over. It3 news and advertisements
are studied thoughtfully. In the
morning, the hurry of the opening
day prevents anything but a cursory
glance at the headlines. The morning
paper Is not read nor studied thought
fully, because It comes at a time when
tho morning work Is absorbing and
when to read It breaks Into the valu
able time which must be devoted to
business.
The fact that some one stole Sena
tor Fulton' letters from his commit
tee room does not change the contents
of the letters. Senator Fulton would
have been Just aa guilty of shielding
friends who were Implicated In land
frauds, had his letters never become
known, as he appears to be now, that
his letters have been made public
The only difference Is that the people
know it now, and they would not
have known It had he been able to
have preserved his letters. .There has
been too much secrecy, too much
subterranean plotting, too much un
derground m anipulation In Oregon for
Oregon's good. If all the acts of her
public men were performed out In the
open, none of this heartbreaking his
tory of the past two years would have
been written.
W. 8. Jennings, a carpenter, fell
off the porch of a Clarkston residence
a distance of 12 feet, and broke both
legs.

hog-fat and COTTOLENB from purs, refined cotton seed
Lard contains animal fat and possible Impurities; COTTOLENB is
UAUy a vegetable product; and is pure, wholesome and healthful.
XPMlMtablOHOMB COTTOLENB makes more paUUble food than
lard. It makes food rich, crisp and flaky and at the same time
fret from that "greasy" taste of lard-soaked food.

THE TEX WISE OLD FOGIES.
Ten wise old fogies, standing In a line.
A modern theory finished one; then
there were but nine.
Nine ancient fogies, not one up to
date.
One drowned in a thought current;
then there were but eight.
Kight solemn fogies, till a mental
leaven
Acted fatally on one; then there were
but seven.
Sever, settled fogies; In the modern
mix
One chanced to change his mind, ex
pired, and left but six.
Six belated fogies; one happened to
arrive
At a liberal Idea, and that killed all
but five.
Five sleepy fogies; for "good old days
or yore"
One fell a-pinlng, died, and there were
hut four.
Four hard-shelled fogies, set as set
could be,
An agitator tackled one and left the
score at three.'
Three pious fogies, of antique point
of view.
An unconventional remark reduced
the three to two.
Two crabbed fogies, objecting to the
sun.
A light ray did for one of them; then
there was but one.
One lonely fogy with groups of fossils
linked
Till he slowly petrified: then thej
were extinct.

ARMENIAN WOMEN TO VOTE.
Democratic Ideas are fast spreading,
even in the orient The Cathollcos, or
head of the Armenian church, a ven
erable prelate, having sent In an
ancient monastery at the foot of
Mount Ararat, has sent out a bull giv
ing the church a liberal constitution
and committing the conduct of church
affairs henceforward to a general as
sembly cf delegates to be elected by
all tho members over 21 years of age.
Most remarkable of all, when he
was asked If this Included women, he
Issued a second bull declaring that
the women might not only help elect
the delegates, but might also be elect
ed delegates themselves. Thus by a
stroke of his pen this oriental prelate
has settled the question which agitat
ed the church In the United States for
so many years.
Under the new constitution the first
general assembly of the Armenian
church In Russia will be held this
month In the monastery of Etchmlad
zln, at the base of Mount Ararat a
monastery which lately celebrated Its
1800th anniversary and It Is expect
ed that a number of women will be
among the delegates. Truly, the world
moves. The Public.
1HE GREAT HIGHWAY.
The world's a highway where we fare
From rosy East to gloomy West;
We pass the milestones slowly ere
We reach the tall one at the crest
The tall one on the hill that through,
Our youthful days we've had to
climb
The tall one we have had In view
From far below so long a time-"
But, having left it In the rear,
And having started to descend,
How thickly strewn the rest appear,'
How short the way Is to the end.
