I am resolved to Jo my work,
eagerly, joyously;' confident that
the Knower within me directs
all my thoughts aright; my
whole body and mind are obe-
dietit to my will arid do me
glad service. When I work In
this spirit I ally myself with the
sources of health, with all the
streams and currents of pure
, and noble ideas. I arise without
painful efforts Into serene altl-
tti.los of Truth. I accomplish
4 that for which I was sent into
th world. To this end I will
commit my thoughts unto my
Lord, knowing that my work
shall be established. Neither
seed time nor harvest shall fall
me: for though there be diver-
sitles of labor, yet It Is the same
erea: God which worketh all in
nil. Florence Morse Klngsley.
NOW. FOR NOVEMBER.
The republican ticket Is nominated,
the platform sent forth. What will
the people do with them?
Taft received such a large majority
pf the votes cast in the national con
vention that it would seem that he Is
the popular choice. But the Taft del
egations were chosen in most of the
states like they were in Oregon by
a select few delegates who run the
conventions, fixed the slates and car
ried out their one-sided programs with
a high hand.
Taft is not yet and never will be the
choice of the rank and file of the re
publican party for president , not
withstanding his nomination by a
large majority.
The republican platform declares
for many progressive, splendid prin
ciples of government, but that will
not reconcile the people to Taft. Th
platform promises a continuation of
the Roosevelt policies, but that does
not make Taft popular. The people
have never wanted Taft.
Had Theodore Roosevelt consented
to make the race for the presidency
in 190S, there would have been no
doubt about the success of the repub
lican ticket. The people wanted
Roosevelt. His work is unfinished.
He could do more than any other one
man In the country to carry forward
the popular plans which he has in
augurated. But with Taft at the head of the
ticket it Is no sure thing that the
next president will be a republican.
Thousands of sincere republicans in
every state will vote for Bryan be
fore thy will for Taft and it looks
like a democratic success.
Taft is a fat, good-natured, aristo
cratic, fortunate, wealthy, highly ed
ucated good fellow. He never Initiat
ed anything worth mentioning. He
has been surrounded by wealth and
affluence al! his life. He is not In
sympathy with the common people.
He has b;n nominated, but It was a
cut and dried program and the people
cannot accept It with the hearty good
will and enthusiasm which usually
accompanies the launching of a suc
cessful campaign.
The platform Is all right, but does
It mean anything with Taft at the
head of the ticket?
THE WIFE'S RIGHTS.
It must be said to the shame of Or
egon that her laws give the wife the
least protection In her property rights
of any state in the west and the an
nouncement that an effort will be
made to remedy this absurd and un
just condition of affairs, at the next
session of the legislature, Is greeted
with satisfaction by every lover of
Justice.
The Oregon Dally Journal says of
the movement started by State Sena
tor Beach of Multnomah county, to
secure legislation Intended to protect
the wife In her property rights:
Should a wife have an absolute
right to one-half of the community
property after the death of her hus
band where she lias assisted through
years of hardship and toll In the ac
cumulation of that property? State
Semi tor S. C. Beach believes that sho
should and with that belief will Intro
duce a bill In the next legislature
seeking to change the existing law as
It stands.
At present a wife has no protection
under the law, or practically none.
Senator He.-u-h has been driven to the
serious consideration of the subject
by instances of this fact which have
como under his observation. In one
case a couple had grown old in Tort
land and wore well known to the sen
ator. For years they had struggled
and saved until they had accumulated
a goodly competence, and this was
done In large part through the wise
management and forethought of the
wife.
The husband died and left a will
which divided the property among his
bi others and sisters, leaving the aged
wife with a bare pittance. As a result
of tho Injustice and tho worry over It
the woman lost her reason and Is now-
confined In a California asylum.
Other instances, perhaps not so pa
thetic, but still unjust, have been ob
served by the senator, and as a result
he expects to Introduce the bill and
make a hard fight for it during the
1909 session of the legislature.
For some reason the chief opposi
tion to the bill comes from the law
yers of the state, many of whom urge
the peculiar objection, for them, that
the passage of the bill would cause
much litigation. The senator, how
ever, will make an effort to secure
its passage and .enactment Into law.
THE OltEGOX PLAN.
That "the Oregon plan" of legisla
tion Is looked upon with favor by
some of the leading states In the
Union, is shown by the expressions
from various prominent newspapers
in the east. , The Chicago News has
Just published a very favorable review
of the "Oregon plan" and urges the
citizens of Illinois to look Into this
progressive plan of legislation.
So the flings and abuses of the old
machine which Is opposed to the peo
ple's rule will not daunt progressive
people elsewhere In their determina
tion to follow Oregon. The News
says:
Illinois citizens would do well to
give consideration to the "Oregon
plan" of enabling voters to express
on election day their preference for
United States senator. Under the Illi
nois direct primary law the party
voter henceforth will be permitted at
primary elections to Indicate his
choice among the different candl
aates of his party. The Oregon plan
goes farther, giving the voter on elec
tion day tho right of choice among
the candidates of nil parties.
Oregon held Its state election last
Monday and the' republicans were
generally successful. The legislature
will be largely republican on joint
ballot. Under ordinary circumstan
ces this would be expected to Insure
the election of a republican as United
S't-ites senator.
At Monday's election, however,
Oregon's popular governor, Mr.
Chamberlain, the democratic candi
date, for United States senator, re
ceived about 1600 more votes than
Mr. Cake, the republican aspirant for
that office. It Is probable, therefore,
that Governor Chamberlain will be
chosen by the republican legislature
tr represent Oregon In the senate.
The legislature, of course, Is not
legally bound to act in accordance
with the popular desire as expressed
at the polls last Monday. By the
constitution of the United States the
legislature Is made , the agency for
choosing senators and therefore from
a legal point of view It is free to fol
low its own inclinations in the mat
ter, regardless of any restraints Im
posed by popular opinion, however
manifested.
A majority of the newly-elected
members of the Oregon legislature,
however, pledged themselves before
election to choose as senator the can
didate receiving the largest popular
vote for that office.
Any state can put the Oregon plan
into operation by enacting a law pro
viding that the names of the various
candidates for senator may be placed
on the ballot to be voted on election
day. Its successful operation, how
ever, requires In addition a public
sentiment which will oblige candidates
for the legislature to pledge them
selves In good faith to carry out the
popular will as expressed at the elec
tion. The direct advantage of this plan
is that It enables the people actually
to choose their representatives In the
national senate. There Is an Indirect
benefit which probably will prove even
more Important. If the voters choose
the senator they will feel free to cast
their ballot with little regard to par
tisanship when supporting candidates
for the legislature. No voter then will
support an unworthy aspirant for leg
islative office on the ground that his
success Is necessary to the election of
a particular man as United States sen.

Eminent financiers may hold thai
there is no humor In finance, but the
up-to-date methods revealed by the
li. vesication of some of the San Fran
cisco banks which failed during the
last few months might lead one to sus
poet that the financiers, no matter
how eminent they are, did not know
what they were talking about.
In one case, it appears, the direc
tors, before milking an Investment,
would assemble In a private room,
and then call In a trance medium,
who, when under control, Would give
them advice, supposedly from Collis
P. Huntington's shade, or from the
spectre of Jay Gould.
The funny part comes In when It
Is explained that the chuckleheuds
followed the advice, but the deposit
ors, perhaps, do not see the humor
of the thing.
THE CAIJi
TO REST.
The
sunset's banners
fade far down
the west;
Twilight and darkness
and the
Evening Star!
O, Soul of mine, heed thou God's call
to rest
Sent to thee from those star-strewn
Heavens afar.
From weary heart and brain, loose
thou the bands
That bind thee to thy toll while It
is day,
Thy Heaven ?-appointed task leave In
His hands
Who holds the planets on their en
circling way.
While on thine eyelids dewy feather
ed night
Soft wings shall press, the stars
their paths will keep;
The Universe swing safely in the sight
Of him whose eye doth slumber not
nor sleep.
Rest, sleep; entrusting to His heart
of love
All cares, all fears, the garish day's
alarms,
The dome of Heaven thy canopy
above,
And underneath the Everlasting
Arms.
Helen Ekln Starrett, from "Crocus
and Wlntergreen."
ROMANCE OF BURIED PICTURES
The romantic story of the picture
purchased at a London auction,
which an expert examination proved
to be painted over a Rembrandt
worth 140.000, Is curiously reminis
cent of the discovery of a Corregglo
under similar circumstances.
A good many years ago two pic
ture restorers, Lovera and Hunters
pergh, bought at an art sale In Rome
a number of old pictures In order to
provide themselves with canvases for
repainting. In the division of the
spoils Hunterspergh received an In
different picture of flowers on which
he painted a study of a hea'd. .
This picture he offered to Lovera,
who on close examination found that
the new ground scaled off, and that
underneath were traces of a figure
painted In a style that denoted the
hand of a master.
Replacing the scale, and concealing
his discovery, he purchased the pic
ture for little more than the value of
the canvas. Removing the two
grounds, he disclosed an exceedingly
clever painting by Corregglo, which
he sold to the Earl of Bristol for $1.
500. The supreme court has denied a
rehearing In the case of the Spokane
Stamp Works vs. Wm. Ridpath. The
stamp works some time ago brought
suit for an injunction to prevent Rid
path cutting the wires which fur
nished electricity for the stamp works
In the Ridpath hotel building. The
Injunction was denied by the supreme
court and a rehearing was asked
whirh has now been denied
