The grass is drown In lakes and rills. The birds of song are chilled and mute. The dreariness seems absolute; And yet I will be glad today! I will be glad today, today, For summer suns again will shine, The air will thrill like tonic wine, The birds will sing as ne'er be- fore. And with these blessings yet In store. Why should I not be glad to- day? 4 Exchange. A JUDICIAL FARCE. Some blunders were made by the people of Oregon last June, but it Is doubtful if they went farther estray than they did when they voted to re establish the old grand jury system. To the popular mind the grand Jury system appeals. Men like the Ilea of having criminal cases passed upon by a grand Jury composed of seven disinterested "good men and true." But those who follow court pro ceedings closely know that the grand jury system Is a farce. It was brought back into use professedly to reduce the power of district attorneys. But experience has shown that there Is not one grand jury out of a hundred that does not do precisely as the di.s , trict attorney suggests. This is no reflection upon either grand jurors or prosecuting officers. By the nature of things a grand jury must rely upon the district attorney for guidance. If the prosecutor Is capable and honest he advises cor rectly and if the Jurors are honest ar,J sensible, as they usually are. In Umatilla county, at least, they follow his advice. The trouble with the present sys tem is that the district attorney still lias the power, in reality though not romlnally. but he 'does n,t have the responsibility. He now works be hind a mask. In Portland a grand Jury has Just returned a report in which they critic's-; the city administration for Its crusade against the redlight district, r.-hinl this criticism can readily he seen the hand of District Attorney Cameron who is fighting the Lane ad ministration and has seemingly used his ermd jury as a club with which U, strike his political foes. Hut there arc other faults with the Sianl jury aside from the fact that it relieves the district attorney of re sponsibility he should bear. It also ! lays Justice. Ii-tween the time the nw law went ir.t'i ( f f-r-t and t!v convening of the r-r. r.t grind Jury In this county cob v, ( b crew upon the scales of Justice. No indictments could be had against ai yone, whether blind pig operator oi horse thief. Because of this fact men who were ready to plead guilty to the charges against them were furcf-d to wait or months before thpy ei.uld be Indicted and arraigned. Under the old system the district attorney hail power to indict yet tho ci'iirt could appoint a grand Jury any time he saw fit to do so. Thus the lesponsiblllty was upon the prosecut or while a wise check was held upon him. The Eist Orcgonlan believes that before another election occurs the people of Oregon will be ready to go hack to the former system. THE STAR OF YOUTH. "Happy the man who, through strength or through luck, guides his whole life by the Mar of his youth. Happy, but how rare." This la a passage that occurs In one of David Oraham Phillips' books. It wti spoken of a public man one of strength and high resolve who by consistently following a course he knew to be right won tho highest of honors. Another character, possess ed of equal talent and with equal op lortunitles, had forsaken the Ideals of his youth and as a result, while he succeeded greatly, he found him self hated as an enemy of the people and his closing days were filled with bitterness. This Is a story that is as old ns the world hut it Is ns true now as In the past. Its truth is shown every day In the lives of the public men of the country. The men who really succeed the Roosevelts, the Bryans, the Cumminses and the Folks are the men who have had the strength, the good Judg ment or the good luck, to follow steadfastly In the course pointed out by the compass of civic righteousness. Those who have failed, the For iikers. the Depews, the Duponts and the Baileys are the men who have rot followed such guidance and hav gone astray to political ruin. To every man, when he Is young, l given an unerring Instinct, which, like a star, comes to guide him straight upon the path of life. But shortly other twlnklers appear In the firmament also and to the traveler many of them seem brighter than the ..... ... .-..v. Wise Is he whose discernment and whose strength Is sufficient to make him Ignore their beckonings. Wise, but somewhat rare. MOSCOW ALSO ALIVE. Moscow has made a practical dem onstration that prosperity Is not de pendent upon the saloons, for today, after having been dry two months, Moscow Is experiencing the most prosperous conditions In Its history, says a report from that city. When the move to rid the univer sity town of Its load of saloons and dives was started It was opposed by nany men business men among them on the ground that the closing of the saloon meant buainess stagna tion and a depression of the markets. Yesterday six prominent business men, representing different lines of activity, were interviewed for their views on the success of the new or der. Three of these men were lead ers In opposing the change, yet all six placed themselves heartily In fa vor of perpetual continuation of the dry reign. The men who had oppos ed the move now say their business has Increased more rapidly than at any time since they opened thei' stores, and their conversion to local option is complete. The police records also show the success of the temperance work, for the number of cases has fallen off remarkably, while many of those that do come up can be tracer! directly to cthi-r towns where liquor Is still dis pensed. Time has not elapsed for the effect on the university to show, but In tho further safeguarding of the morals of the students through removing tempt ation, there seems little doubt that the enrollment of the University of Idaho will show an Increase as time passes. WHERE CREDIT IS DUE. It would be wrong to allow the tl ird annual district fair to pass into history without saying a word of uaise for the fair commissioners and others whose earnest work made the fair such a splendid success-. To successfully conduct a fair such as the one just closed moans work. In preparing for the fair the com missioners were required to hold meetings daily and thr?y gave many hours of valuable time to work for which their only reward lies in the satisfaction of knowing that they were rendering the community a ser vice. To Commissioners Roosevelt, Cohen, pecrrfary Fit r"!d and others whose work and advice made the fair a record breaking success, medals of honor should be given. AKHOI'LAXr-S TO OKOEIC. There are signs enough that the different groups of aeroplane Invent ors are eetting ready to build them for sale, and already there is rivalry and some little evidence of personal reel ing nmonif them. The courts will probably be called upon to settle many-sided patent litigation. ?ext summer anybody may have an aero plane who can spend from S2500 to 15000 for one, and the comparative merits of the heavy Wright machine, with Its levers, the lighter Hammonds port product, whose wheel gear Is more familiar to automoblllsts, and the much smaller Herring machine may be the subject of animation con versation on country club piazzas, be tween the more adventurous young fellows who have room on their es tates to fly and are trying the flyers for sport. World's Work. Noted Smuggler Dead. James Kelley, for the past 20 years known as one of the most notorious smugglers on the Pacific coast, Is dead near Port Townsend. He wai nearly SO years of age. THE LANDLORD. The landlord used to come around As regular as a clock. Upon the door we'd hear him pound Oh, 'twas a glad und Joyful sound To hear that landlord knock! He knocked upon the entry way, 'He knocked upon the door; He came around the first of May And saw the puppies nt their play, And then he knocked some more. That landlord used to hand us knocks Because wo had a cat, A bird, a rabbit In a box, And half a hundred Plymouth Hocks, What th'nk you. now, of that? But when he acted meanest yet Was over Gwendolen; When she was born, the little pet, He growled and said. "You musn't tot This thing occur again." We have another landlord now And he Is different. We've bought a parrot and a cow He doesn't holler, anyhow. Or press us for tho rent. Now Gwendolen has sisters four And she has brothers too; And still this laidlord doesn't roar Like that one used to do. We've put that landlord mean to rout. And I will tell you how: We have a cottage farther out, With vines and roses 'round about, And I'm the landlord now. THE UPPER ROOM. In my house of life Is an Upper Room, A small and garnished place; And there I dreamed in the mist gray gloom, And 1 looked my soul In the face. (O Upper Room with your dreams w here I Let my friends, unwept, go passing by!) Once Love tried the door, and a child's voice came I heard if through my prayers But the door was barred when they called my name, And the steps went down the stairs. (And yesterday at the door I found A toy and a rose trampled on the ground.) And my prayers were heard, for with toll my ho'use Has grown, though empty, great; And from my Upper Room I see Crowds gather around my gate. (From my Upper Room with its dreams where I Let the loveless years go passing by.) I have found my fight. Hark, they bring the prize I have run; I have won the race! But I sit and I dare not lift mjj eyes To look my soul In the face;, (For yesterday at the door I found A toy and a rose trampled on the ground.) Mary R. Roberts, in Success. THE SOIL BEAUTIFUL. Tis not the beauty of the face, Nor the size of the woman's shoe, But it's always her soulful grace, And what she herself can do. When you've returned from work at night, And she's standing there In the door; The sweet dear one whose heart Is light There is welcome when the work is o'er. 'Tis then my friend you'll understand How fair a true woman can be; Paradise Is not half so grand When your heart Is both light and free. Then give me the girl that's so true In preference to the doll-faced type, You tan love her her thoughts seemj new She's gentle from morning until night. j Such a one shapes a man's career, ! They'll both he happy together; e'l"uds of sorrow will ne'er appear And through life is pleasant weath er. Gilbert Patten Brown. Klerp Walker Hurt in I'all.
