A laugh is just like sunshine, It freshens all the day; It tips the peaks of life with light, And drives the clouds away; The soul grows glad that hears it And feels its courage strong A laugh is just like sunshine For cheering people along. A laugh is just like music, It lingers in the heart, And where its melody is heard The ills of life depart, And happy thoughts come crowding Its joyful notes to greet A laugh is just like music For making living sweet! St. Louis Republic. 4 : OUR WAY THE BEST. 1 Illinois is furnishing a splendid ob ject lesson of the results of electing United States senators by legislatures. ! One after another members of the j legislature that elected Lorimer are pleading guilty of having been bribed I into voting for him. Lorimer's legi- j tlmate majority is fast melting away j and indications' are that he will have I to resign his seat in the senate. I i How is that for a spectacle; a : United States senator elected by votes ; purchased at so much per head. The i senate is the upper house of con- gress. It is supposed to be a digni fied and awe inspiring body, a check upon the lower house. Yet a sena tor from one of the principal states of the union owes his seat to crimi. ral work on the part of himself or nis political nenenmen. How many United States senators have been el- ected by the votes of men who were brlbed but have not "squealed?" How many senators have been elected through indirect bribery in the form of political promises? It would be horter work to go through the senate chamber and pick nut those who were elected upon their merits through honest methods. Now frankly, does not this Illinois pectacle make you appreciate Ore gon's plan of electing United States senators by direct vote of the peo ple? There are people who object to Oregon's present senators for polltl- ' ' J be expected. But is it not a source 0? satisfaction to know that whatever criticism may be made of Senators Bourne and Chamberlain It cannot be ' .,.,. ,v., I dishonestly? Each man was endors ed for office by the people in a free and open race. Each man was the popular choice for senator and the lee!!sture but ratified that choice as a majority of the members were under pledge to do. Is not this plan of procedure im measurably better than the Illinois way? Surely It Is, all regardless of the partisan or factional affiliations of the present senators. The Oregon way of electing senators is the one and only proper way. Furthermore the people of this state, republican, democratic and otherwise, are going to stand by statement No. 1. The people of Oregon have no desire to see this state thrust back Into that r't of corruption from which It es caped but a few years ago and In which Illinois Is now wallowing to Its sorrow and to the disgrace of the peop'e of that great commonwealth. LOOK UP THE COST. During the next six months the tax. payers of this state and especially those living In proposed new counties will do well to look up the probable cost of division In increased taxation. Thus far Hood River county Is the only rew county created under the Initiative and the The Dalles Optim ist remarks that because that Job was accomplished we are promised a surfeit of county division measures this falL "As nearly as we can count them now there are about fifteen bills being "signed opw for presentation to the voters, and there la still time, and room on the ballot, for many more, says ine uptimisl. some ot these bills have merit, for It is a fact thut many of our counties are too large. But when considering the mutter one should look to Hood River county and ask the citizens of thnt bailiwick how much In the way r taxes their whistle cost them. "Much territory does not make a prosperous county; it takes taxable property and population, particular ly the former. In many cases, as in the case of the formation of Hood River county, such divisions are good for the territory left in the old coun ty, but the citizens of the new coun ty are up against a hard propo sition." The East Orcgonian knows of one Hood River property owner for whom division meant an Increase of 64.4 per cent the first year division was in effect. His name is E. A. Schiff lor and his tax receipts show that airing the first year of Hood River county he paid, upon the same iden tical property, $52.50 more in taxes tuau he had paid the previous year in AVasco county. AYIATIOX A FACT. When Glenn Curtiss sped through itne air from Albany down to little ji'ld New York at an average speed of 1 54 4.5 miles per hour he made the J world take notice.

That they will do this all , i o good time and make air traveling i its safe as trips by land or sea can scarcely be doubted. The passenget airship may not be a biplane. It is n it likely it will. It may be a com bination of the dirglble and the aero plane. But the airship we will have : mt soon. A short time ago the Spanish war v as a vivid reality. Now it is a mem ory recalled only when a band of vet erans such as those of Malabon camp of this city are called together. In time the husky veterans of the Second Oregon and other Spanish war regi ments will walk with halting steps ns do the "boys of '61." Postmaster Young of Portland is dead and so there is another vacant office for republicans to quarrel about. Will the appointment be dic tated by Bourne or by his enemies through Hitchcock.

Now who would be an octipus like the sugar trust? May has done very well. FAMOUS AMERICAN SCHOOLS. The venerable academies at And over. in Massachusetts and at Exeter, iust across the line in New Hamp shire, come nearer, perhaps, than any 'ther of our preparatories to bridg ing the gap between the average high school and such American develop- ments of English models as are repre- sented by Groton, St. Mark's, or St. Paul's. They were started in the heart of Puritan New England, in the mUln "f the "ar fnr dependence, "n,l fr nver a century they have kept alive the sacred fire with which the young nation was burning at their birth. No other schools have helped in the makTng of so many distinguish ed men nor are any, perhaps, so sat urated with traditions so peculiarly American. In their early days, when most of the boys were working their way as they went, raising vegetables to help pav their hoard, bundling up as If for a close" ra"uln- P-rnaps woum nave a sleighride on Sundays to listen toh"f'n or,e b-m'"- The statement three sermons in an unheated church and on Monday reciting what they could remember of the discourses of the day before; in the day of Master Ellphalet Pearson ". . .

Eventually, I suppose, they will be all lodged in school buildings. The newer dbrmitories, like Dunbar Hall at Exeter and Bancroft Cottage at Andover. are -quite as fine as any buildings at the more fashionable i-'t'hools,, and discipline in them Is much the same, but many of the se date old colonial houses, with their broad white faces and green blinds, are still used as boarding-places, and the practice of encouraging .a strong sense of personal responsibility still survives.

June Lippincott's. A UF.ST SKU.KK OF THE HFI'lIX Rest sellers there were and ever have been. In the eighteen-fifties, a certain young man named Mitchell was writing them. His books were read by old and young; they sold like hot cakes, as we say; like bread, as the more sober idiom would have it. Our fathers read those books, if we ourselves did not; sometimes they read them to our mothers. "The Reveries of a Bachelor" is still read today; but my copy of it Is gray und dog's-eared, like a school-boy's Virgil; the bravery of its giliring is tarnished; yet how crisp were the pages sixty years aa'i! The "Reveries" came into the world with a pseudonym to cloak the'r au thor's modesty: Ike Marvel was the pseudonym, and we buried its wear er, bachelor no longer, though sti'.l an amateur, 'but yesterday. Ike Mar vel had survived his literary genera tion, and even in his hey-dey an old world flavor was tasted in his style; the gentle sentimentalist was one that knew the Spectator papers und had smoked his pipe late over Ste.-ne and " ll'tnitil It is h'ird tO See hOV lie ' " ' ti" '. ,iv it nr hi r .nl.! .1!, HOT VI "1 .-V Oil ers, either. I treasure my copy of the "Rever-j ies " though 1 picked it up for a song at a stall where none but the maimed of the book world find their way. It is a f-habby old book, and its two en gravings have only stained tlw pases that they adorn. But, us I turn the pages of "Over a Wood Fire" (the best of the Reveries, us it is the first), Smoke, signifying uuuui. anu iuc signifying Cheer, and Ashes, signifying Deso'ation they take on a new meaning to me, and a double interest. The author's sentimentality seems to me less obvious than before; his hu mor less facile and less reminiscent. It is pleasant to think that I am not the first to get pleasure out of that cigar of his A Cigar three times Lighted. Tramping through the woods, one comes upon the dead ash es of a camp fire. Does not that make the woods more interesting territory? Hero 1 have a book that some one else has marked as suited his whim of the passing moment the passing moment of half a century ago! Some thing of the fellow's temperament I know from the record of it that lie made here. And the book this copy of it has had its little history, that it tells after its own pretty fashion. I cannot do half so well; und some thing keeps me from transcribing. 1 feel guilty enough in trying even to letell it. From "The Point of View," in the June Scrihner. AX ECHO CONTROVERSY. Editor East Oregonian: Please publish the enclosed matter along with the enclosed article com ing out In the issue of April 8. Echo, Ore.. April 7. "The District School." a farce in two acts, was giv en here last night in the I. O. O. F. hall by local talent; the hall was crowded, there being between two hundred and three hundred persons present. The receipts were over J50. The parts of the different characters were well representd. The proceeds of the entertainment will go toward the minister's salary. The most interesting feature if the entertainment is that it stands a. a monument marking a new epoch In Echo. For hereafter It is expected the prohibition workers will be more tem perate in their efforts, for had it not been for the "near beer" men and their families taking part, they would have been unable to have put the play on the stage.
