"Build thee more stately man-
siona, oh, my soul;
As the swift seasons roll!
Leave thy low-vaulted past!
Let each new temple nobler
than the last,
Shut thee from heaven with a
dome more vast,
Till thou at length art free,
Leaving thine outgrown shell
by life's unresting sea."

AN ARMY OP PEACE.
The devastlng forest fires which
are raging throughout the northwest
have given the .United States troops
located in this territory the first real
work which they have been called
upon to perform since the Filipinos
were subdued. Their life in the bar
racks and in their encampments is at
best an artificial one. Paid to fight
they have only Imaginary foes with
which to engage and their daily ex
istence is one of parade, maneuver
and drill In preparation for a crisis
that may never arise. But now they
are called upon to perform a service
for their country. They are called
Into the field to fight, to conquer and
to 'save. True this service is not one
which they have been taught to ex
pect, and it Is not one for which the
government has expended so much
effort and money in training them,
but it Is nevertheless one of inestim
able value and one fraught with dan
ger and hardship.
This utilization of the military for
ces for a work for which they were
In nowise Intended has caused the
San Francisco Examiner to specu
late as to other services which they
might perform while awaiting the
time for which they are held In re
serve. The paper points out in ad
dition to fighting forest fires, the
army could become a great factor in
combatting disease by attacking the
germ breeding swamps, and that It
culd be made a great Instrument in
the conquering of the desert by put
ting it at the disposal of the refla
tion service. "A big army," it goes on
to say"with modern machinery, un
der perfect sanitary conditions,- might
well be put to work at our swamps,
where there Is too much water, and
at our deserts, where there isn't wa
ter enough. An army such as they
have in Germany, wasting time march
ing up and down, could destroy all the
mosquitoes in the United States In a
short time. And that would destroy
malaria. And that would save as
many lives as are usually destroyed In
a big war.
"A big army, well drilled, well paid,
working for the people, could wipe
out the swamps that breed disease
and mosquitoes and yellow fever. It
couH wipe out by irrigation the des
ert which are the earth's plague
srots. it could reclaim millions and
hundreds of millions and thousands
of millions of dollars' worth of valu
able farm lands.
It could not only fight the forest
fires by putting out flames, but pre
vent future fires by cutting proper
lan through the great forests.
What a glorious thing it would be
If a country like ours had a really
great standing army of useful men,
flghtlnsr nature, fighting the heredi
tary enemies of the human race, not
f ghting each other, nor butchering
each other In the old brutal way!
"We could have such an army In
this ountry, an army of fifty thou
sand, or of five hundred thousand.
an army that could be made bigger

ten hours a day, but one hour or two
hour i week. Tiitmd of numbering
thousatids, they could number hun
dredn fit thousands, all usefully em
ployed. The nation could serve no
tice on the other countries saytng
'Ours Is a peace army; we are ftght
Ing fir the human race against nat
oral enemies. We don't want to
fight you, and we shall never fight
you if you don't make us fight.
"But don't bother us. For this na
tional army that you see fighting mo
squitoes today could also fight men
If It had to."
This truly is a most practicable sug
gestion and one that should command
careful consideration. The plan is
revolutionary but it is in keeping with
the progress of the age. Its adoption
would be a great step toward the re
alization of that fondly cherished
hope, universay peace, for when an
army is made something more than
an organization for inspiring fear in
possible adversaries, when it is made
into a factor of civilization rather
than an agent of death and destruc
tion, then will the thoughts of a na
tion gradually stray less and less In
to warlike fields.
THE GROWTH OF INSURGENCY.
A few months ago the Portland
Spectator declared that the Insurgent
movement was nothing -but an inef
fective kick and a loud noise. Three
weeks ago the same paper said:
"We were wrong; the insurgent
movement looks like a new party. A
third party is necessary. The people
long ago ceased to trust the demo
crats; they are becoming suspicious of
the republican party. Insurgency is
not merely a kick; it is a protest; not
a mere noise; but a detonation which
means that every time you hear It
you know something has happened.
"The stand-pat, sit-tight, and hold
fast politicians will do well to In
vestigate this insurgent movenent; it
might distress them if they awoke
some morning and found nothing on
which they could stand pat or sit
tight or hold fast."
This week the Spectaor republishes
the above statement with the remark:
"It may be worth the politicians'
while to read it. Insurgency Is
spreading. New York, Ohio, Kansas,
Iowa," and California are insurgent;
Miles Poindexter will carry Wash
ington. The movement Is a protest
against high tariff that enriches the
special privilege holder and confers
no benefit on the consumer, which is
Aldrfchism; against the powers that
refuse to enact progressive legisla
tion themselves and will not permit
others to enact it, which Is supposed
to be Cannonism; against leaders, who
having come to the end of their road,
can lead no farther, and are idly
marking time, which Is called stand-
pattism. The 'people desire change,
action, excitement; they think they
can get this through Insurgency.
Very likely they can; at any rate they
will try."
Mr. Taft began his presidential car
eer with an effort to break up tho
"solid south." He has been breaking
something up all right but seems to
have hit Kansas and Iowa, instead of
the south. Portland Telegram.
Roosevelt has declared war upon
the old guard in New York. "If they
want to fight," he says, "all right. 1
like, fighting and I expect they will
get all they want." Ah, Teddy is him
self again.
"Extortionate and unreasonable pro
fits must be tolerated no longer," says
President Taft. Spoken like a true
diplomat before election time.
From tho testimony of Theodore
Bell, some of the big Eagles in the
United States are genuine birds of
prey.
Weston reports a heavy frost the

unusual weather phenomena.
Pendleton is up-to-date if nothing
else. Affinities are quite the rage

PAINTINGS AND SMUGGLERS.
Huge profits are made out of the
ignorance of inspectors regarding
paintings. Bogus Corots, for Instance,
were sent over by a dealer Just to
have them passed and assessed as
genuine. Customs went merely by the
signature "Corot" which helped the
dealer far beyond the duty levied. Re
versing the process give a good work
an unknown signature and the deal
er would still win. A painting Is con
signed to an American dealer. It Is
by an artist who commands a great
price. Over the real signature Is
placed an indistinguishable label with
another and less valuable name. Over
that Is placed one of no consequence
whatever. Comes a mysterious let
ter to New York customs "Rub off
the signature on these and you will
find the painter's name." The top
signature is rubbed off; the canvases
are entered at the ruling rate for the
name disclosed. Underneath that, and
not discovered at all. Is the name that
gives the picture a value a hundred
fold higher. Everybody's Magazine.
A new-Itching Face.
A reader for a New York publish
ing' house gives the following, quoted
from a story submitted by an Indiana
author, as the choicest bit he has
come across In many years.

AI.I.DS AVD THE $1000 ENVELOP
(From Burton J. Hendrlck's arti
cle on "Governor Hughes and the Al
bany Gang" in the September Mc
Clure's. Nixon, Allds, and their (associates
did not propose to let the bridge leg
islation die peaceably without getting
something from it for themselves. In
the popular mind, v the bribe-taking
legislator is more or less of a weak,
shrinking, vacillating person, a man
who is seduced by the blandishments
of corrupt corporation ng-ents and
forced Into evil by his own pressing
needs. This description, howover
did not fit Allds; he went boldly into
me iiem, and openly solicited at
tempts upon his own virtue. One day
lie met In the assemblv lohhv A.oaein
blyman Bonn Conger, whose brother
rrank, as vice president of the Am
erlcan Bridge company, was working
nara to kill th:s highwav bill. "Benn .'
said Allds, "you think that you've got
that legislation bottled up," but, re
member, the rules committee takes
hold in a few days, and you'll have
to take care of us." Soon afterward
Conger appeared by appointment in
tne capitoi with one Deacon Hiram G
Moe, for many years a retainer of the
Conger family. Deacon Moe, on this
occasion, quietly slipped Into Allds'
nanus an envelon contalnine 11000

ceived 1 1000 from the sam source
and Jean Burnett, one of the mem
bers or the same crowd. J4000 nre

THE INSURGENT ELEMENT.
Amos fincnot in his article on
"Two Revolts Against Oligarchy" in
the September McClure's says of the
present administration:
"No party ever began an adminis
tration with clearer principles and a
greater public service to perform than
the party of Taft. The whole coun
try, democrats and republicans alike,
were impatient to help some one to
drive the trusts out of politics. No
party since 1860 has had such an op
portunity to combine service to the
party with service to the country. No
party in our political history has so
completely failed to Justify the hope
of the people.
"Restoration of government by the
majority, reduction of tariff, and a
vigorous prosecution of the conserva
tion program of the last administra
tion were three things demanded by
the country. If, after election, the
regular party leaders had kept faith,
if they had shown that they consid
ered driving the trusts out of politics,
tariff reduction, and conservation
more than mere catchwords of cam
paign oratory, there would have been
no divided party today. If they had
evincved a real purpose to reduce the
tariff in spite of the special interests
In the west, and if they had made a
real effort to drive the trusts and
railroads out of poltics both in the
east and the west, there never would
have arisen an insurgent element to
vex the republican reactionaries, just
as the insurgent element fifty years
ago vexed the reactionary whigs."
DOMESTIC SCIENCE EXPOSITION
The most hopeful sign in all the
pure food agitation, says a writer In
Success Magazine, Is that many man
ufacturers of food products are at
last commencing to recognize the fact
that it pays them to take sides with
the defenders of pure food, and are
lending active cooperation in a Do
mestic Science exposition which Is to
take place in September at Madison
square Garden. New York city.
The initial Idea and plans for this
exposition were brought about through
the efforts of the National Food
Magazine, a periodical which has for
a long time carried on a hard and
earnest fight for pure food.
Besides a show of food products. It
Is planned to have demonstrative les
sons in the preparation of food for
babies and invalids, tests as to purity
of milk and other foods, and also lec
tures on food preservation. food
chemistry, germs, and how to detect
adulterations.
Many women's clubs are cooperat
ing in the movement and it is hoped
that this exposition will stimulate a
desire in women all over the country
to take a deeper and more active in
terest in this important question.

Many people nowadays think that
the little trip of Columbus was not
the first Jaunt to these shores and
that Lelf Erlcson had visited America
Ions before.
Now, these same people who be

again, for recently there hns hepn
discovered in Minnesota a stone bear-
ng a strange inscription. This leads
persons to think that as early ns 1362
Norsemen landed somewnere In Nova
Scotia, and by following connecting
waterways came Into what la the
northern part of the United States.
This remarkable stone Is covered on
two sides with runes that have Just
been translated. It . has been placed
for safekeeping in the rooms of the
