UNION, lLttt
FRIENDSHIP.
A ruddy drop of manlv blood
The surging sea outweighs:
The world uncertain comes and
Roes,
The lover rooted stays.
I faded he was fled--
And, after many a year,
Glowed unexhausted kindliness,
Like dally sunrise there.
My careful heart was free again:
O friend, my bosom said,
Through thee alone the sky Is
arched,
Through thee the rose Is red;
All things through thee take
nobler form,
And look beyond the earth;
The mill-round of our fate ap-
e pears
A sun-path In thy worth.
Me, too, thy nobleness has
taught
To master my despair:
The fountains of my hidden life
Are through thy friendship fair.
Ralph Waldo Emerson.
CHVRCII AND STATE.
Separation of church and state in
Fiance will be accompanied by the
sundering of many an ancient tie.
The church regime in France is hal
lowed by . usages and customs as old
as Christianity. In that government
has flourished the vry essence of
Catholicism, the flower of the creed,
almost undisturbed for over half the
Christian era
While Italy Is the home of the pope,
and the shrine of the church, yet
Catholicism has reached Its greatest
height In France. There it has been
Identified with government as nowhere
else In the world. There It has enjoy
ed national prestige, highest recogni
tion and substantial government sup
port which are unparalleled in the
history of the church.
Backward through the 1900 yean
of the Christian era, It seems but a
stp from Plus IX to St. Peter. The
church ritual, government, usages,
litts and ceremonies have been
changed bat slightly since It Is alleg
ed that St Peter as first bishop of
Rome formulated them and gu.ve
them tn his successors to be handed
from pope to pope in unsullied purity
and unbroken succession.
While there have been stormy sea
sons, wars, disruptions, defeats, tri
smphs and suffering, yet through the
line of 257 popes from St. Teter, who
ruled the church in the years 41 to 8
A. D., to Plus, who rules today, there
has been the same unswerving pur
pose. Uival factions have warred to
tbt knife, enemies have triumphed
temporarily, power has been stripped
from the church time and again, only
to be restored again In renewed splen
dor, yet through the long line of euc-e'-sion.
the vital forces of the Cath
olic church have ' lived In vlrtle'
strength
And so deeply is that cred rooted
mm the very heart of French nation
al life, it stems It will require cen
times to separate the church life
from the state life. Outward forms
wiy be changed; laws may alter the
legal relations of church and state;
legislation may separate the visible
tokens of the government and the
church, but under all these outward
foices, the heart of the French nation
and the heart of tbe Catholic church
will beat as one.
tt is not reasonable to believe that
an organization which has been
father, mother, sister, brother, serv
ant and master to the French peopln
since that nation has had a separate
national life, could be obliterated In
one brilliant flash of legislation.
Religious faiths are not lo be un
rooted hy such means. It will require
centuries of education, agitation und
reform to introduce Into the French
heme life another form of faith than
that which has been fixed Indelibly
by Catholicism.
m:ciii: in standard 'stock.

to 5'',' is not astonishing. It but fore
shadoui'8 (he Inevitable bringing of
that coi puratlon to justice. As long
as Standard could successfully defy
the laws the stock was held firmly
at S40.
The trust dictated prices and mo
nopolized the market. For that mat
ter. It still does, but the day is not far
when lis methods of doing business
must change. In the reorganization
of the trust the stock may be expected
to drop still further, possibly even to
par.
The federal suit to dissolve Standard
Oil Into Independent companies will
be filed in a ftw days and may be
counted upon as certain of good re
sults. The Sherman act is plain and
the government has taken plenty of
time to make sure of Its evidence. It
Is announced that Mr. Rockefeller has
retained In addition to his highest le
gal force several of the highest priced
lawyers In the land to fight the case,
but even high-priced attorneys can
lo little more than delay Justice.
New York brokers give as a reason
for the drop In Standard stock public
antagonism. Well, public antagonism
animated by Just reasons Is a power
ful factor to reckon with. It Is some
thing which corporations should be
careful not to, arouse. Antagonism
per se never permanently affected the
price of stocks. It is only when the
people are aroused by continued
wrongs to hostile action that trusts
need be alarmed.
Put when criminal and civil actions
are being carried on from every quar
ter, when legislatures are continually
making special and more drastic laws
and when the national administration
steps in Standard Oil can hardly ex
pect its stock to go sky high.
How low the stock of the Stanlurl
may yet drop will depend wholly upon
the obstinacy of its contention for
unlawful rights and criminal privi
leges. There are always two sides to every
public Issue and this Is true In every
particular of the car shortage In the
west. Railroads are not to blame for
ever' phasj of the car shortage. Mer
chants In Portland In order to save
warehouse charges and to avoid han
dling their shipments twice, are hold
ing 1100 cars of merchandise on the
side tracks which might be unloaded
within a couple of days und released
for other traffic. The railroads are
not to blame for this. Yet the same
fellows who are holding these cars
unnecessarily would be the first to
complain if there- was an hour's delay
In the arrival of a shipment of goodJ
because of the car shortage. The
public Is an eccentric personage.
The conviction of George Burnham,
jr., vice president of the Mutual Re
serve Life Insurance company, of
grand larceny, is the first actual evi
dence that the ' insurance Investiga
tions mean anything. If they actually
put this thief in jail and make him
serve his time the people will gradu
ally come to believe that there is
something in the thousands of col
umns which have been written about
the insurance Investigations.
With from two to six Inches of
snow all over eastern Oregon east of
the Blue mountains, and cold, disa
greeable weather already upon that
section, the coming winter promises
to he u long one. Every day that
passes gives the resident of Umatilla
county some added favor for which to
be sincerely thankful.
With a fruit cannery and an elec
til" railroad, Freewater and Milton
will take first rank among the busy
centers of Industry in the Inland em
pire. No other places In the north
west will receive two such 'valuabls
Christmas presents as these.

SI K OK THE EVENING SONG.
Sing to me. Star of the Evening,
Shining with radiant light;
Your notes will ring, though you
volcedess Ming
To try listening heart tonight. '
Sing to .me. unsen Angels,
Louder and clearer sing;
For my wondering heart hears only a
part '
Of the message you surely bring.
Then the stars sent down from heaven
A glorious hymn of praise
To the Master of all, the Father of all,
The Ruler of Nights and Days.
And clear and ever clearer
Their message came to me,
For the stsr-notes rang, and the An
gels sang.
And my soul was glad and free.

THE PILOT.
Pilot, -mark the skies ure dark
O'er the gray wastes of tha sea;
Does no danger threat our barque
"None," said- he.
Pilot, billows plunge and leap
Round about us angrily;
May we seek in safety sleep?
' Yea.' said he.
Pilot, evermore the same
Radiant vour face we see-
Tell us. tell us, pray, your name?
"Faith!" said he.

"YELLOW" PREACTnNG.
It was the president of the Hastings
college, in Lincoln, Neb., presumably
a violently religious. If not a godly,
man, who, on Sunday last, flourished
a bottle of whisky while he stood In
his pulpit and Inveighed against the
selling of rum and every other sort
of intoxicant.
It must have been an Inspiring
scene the righteous and Indignant
divine, the sacred forum and the fire
works. It seems a pity that the reverend
gentleman had not bethought him to
add to his probably Just arraignment
of the liquor traffic, the much more
popular and distinctly unjust roast of
yellow" Journalism.
All would have been so pat and In
consistent thnt It could hnrdly have
failed to arrest attention, In the ab
sence of some opportunity to arrest
the newspaper proprietors.
A bottle of whisky at the bar of
God! A man of assumed piety who
could and would and actually did
wield It and flourish It In the face of
the Almighty! Was that "yellow"
pulpiteering? Denver Post.
THE SPIRITUAL Lira.
I cannot understand any American
citizen who has the faintest feeling
of patriotism and devotion to his
country falling to appreciate the ab
solutely essential need of religion
(using It in its broadest and deepest
sense) tp the welfare of this country.

and towns as they have grown up the
churches have grown In them, sym
bolizing the fact that there were
among the foremost workers men
whose work was not for' the things of
the body, but for the things of the
soul, this would not be a nation today;
because this country would not be an
bode fit fon civilized men If It were
not true that we put our material
civilization, our material prosperity,
as the base only upon which to build
the suprestructure of the higher spir

M CH RE'S FOR 11107.
In the January number of Mc-
Clure's will begin the life of Mary
Baker 01. Eddy and the history of the
Christian Science movement. For the
first time a complete, impartial and
true story of Mrs. Eddy and Christian
Science Is to be had. ' It will run
throughout the year.' Georglne Mil-
mlno'lius written the story. For near
ly three years sho has pursued her
study of the subjects. Five other
writers of McClure's staff have work
ed with her to muke this story ac.
curat", fair, unbiased and complete.
In view of the fact that for some
months the press has been full of di
vers and conflicting news and state
ments regarding Mrs. Eddy, it Is evi
dent that accurate knowledge con
cerning her Is difficult to obtain in
a short time. Consequently McClure's
long nd thorough preparation of Its
scries will give us for the first time
a true history and account of her and
her cult.
HONEY' AS A MEDICINE.
"Honey, one of the most nutritious
and delicate of foods, should be eaten
more than It Is," said a cooking ex
pert. "Bought In the comb, it Is
bound to be unadulterated, and this
pure honey will keep Its friends, free
from sore .throat and bronchial trou
bles. "I have not had a sore throat since,
six years ago, I took to eating honey.
My doctor tells me he often recom
mends honey, with excellent results,
for diseases of the throat.
"Honey Is excellent to use Instead
of sugar for sweetening cakes. It
gives the cakes a most delightful fla
vor. It is also excellent, In place of

on buckwheat cakes." Chicago Stan
dard. A number of persons owned In
common the right to use certain quan
tities of water from a stream for Irri
gating purpose:, and the manner of
using the water was determined by
meetings of such various owners of
water rights. Afterwards a majority
of such owners of the water rights or
ganized a corporation and transferred
to It their rights and each took stock
re.-preseiiting his Interests. On a con
tiovcrsy over the right to distribute
the water, the court decided that the
corporation had no such right with
