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!

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. Heretofore we
have had flights by aviators; Curtis

i It merely remains for the airship
' rankers to perfect a feasible passen
o r craft. 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

A short time ago the Spanish war

Postmaster Young of Portland is

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.

the boys were working their way as

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

broad white faces and green blinds,
are still used as boarding-places, and

survives. From "Some American

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

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),

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

woods, one comes upon the dead ash
es of a camp fire. Does not that make
the woods more interesting territory?

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

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. As it was not
more than half a dozen of the entire
company were church member.!.
The writer woubl have gien some
attention to the above matter s oner
but for the fact that he has been in
the hospital In Spokane for fieveval
weeks. This lltt'e article of thirty
two lines seems to have been Intended
for a reflection on three parties, the
"near beer" people, the officials of
the town and the Methodist church.

the voters of this county, and if fie
writer had reason to believe that the
law was being violated It seems to us
that the right course to hnvr been
pursued was to have reported such
facts to the town authorities or to the
prosecuting attorney and let ar. in

did make such report to the first or
