I s.dd: I will bo glad today!
The rain clouds drift along the
hills.
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?

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.
While walking in his sleep, Joseph
Kipling fell 15 feet from a second
story window In the lodging house at
Port Blakely, where ho lived, Wednes
day. Both of his wrists were broken.
Kipling says he Is a cousin of Uudyard
Kipling, the well known writer.

Medicines containing Mercury are often given to persons suffering with
Contagious Blood Poison, and so powerful is the action of this drug that it
frequently removes the symptoms in a short while, niul shuts the disease
up in the system to do greater damage to the delicate internal members.
When, however, the treatment is left otT, the disease alwavs returns, and the
patient finds that his health has been injured by this powerful mineral, and
lie is often left with weak stomach, disturbed digestion, mercurial rheuma
tism, etc. The action of S. S. S. is entirely different. It contains no
Mercury, nor any other harmful drug, but is made entirely of healing,
cleansing roots and herbs. It cures Contagious Blood Poison by removing
the virus from the blood. It searches out every particle of the poison
and does not leave the least trace for future outbreaks. S. S. S., in
addition to curing the disease, builds up and strengthens every part of the
body. Its fine tonic effects tone up the stomach and digestion, improve the
appetite and regulate the entire system. Home treatment book containing
valuable information about the different stages of the disease and any
medical advice desired sent free to all who write.
