THE SKCHET.
The
gateway to the Land of
Dreams
Is often dark and low,
Xet past that magic, entrance
lives
Earth's golden Long Ago.
The Dream and Wonder Is de
nied To us grown overwise.
Unless we wait as children wait
And stand" with childish eyes.
And watch some singing fairy
walk
Our alleys of Regret,
And learn that Youth knows
many things
That crabbed years forget.
Arthur Stringer, in Every
body's. BIT OXE COURSE OPEX.
The absolute folly of trying to set
tle county division questions by sub
mitting them to a vote of all the peo
ple of the state has been fully shown
this year. It Is Impossible for the
entire state to Judge of such disputes
"because they are purely local disputes.
When a county division or a county
annexation bill is presented a voter
has no way of knowing for certain
whether or not the people who are
chiefly affected want the bill to car
ry.
For Instance In the case of the Or
chard county bill, this paper has al
ways asserted that the bulk of the
territory proposed for Orchard coun
ty is opposed to the creation of that
county. The East Oregonian has
food reasons for feeling that this as
sertion is true.
Now look at the annexation bills
thai have been drafted for Multno
mah county. One bill calls, for the
annexation of a big part of Wash
ington county to Multnomah while
the other bill would add one third of
Clackamas county to Multnomah.
These bills are even opposed by rep
resentative people of Portland whom
' one would ordinarily expect to find
In support of the measures. Presi
dent Beckwith, of the Portland Com
mercial Club, Is openly opposing the
annexation bills and so is L. R. Web
ster, former Judge of Multnomah
county.
In answering some of the argu
ments of the Clackamas county an
nexationists Judge Webster says:
"They say that the area proposed
for annexation would pay the expense
of road building in that ara," Judge
Webster continued. "The truth of
the matter is that these people want
to get In to evade the special read
tax. They say the 700 miles of road
In this area 14 largely In forest re
serve and would not be a burden up
on the taxpayers. However that may
be, the fact remains that develop
ment necessitates continuously the
opening of more roads. Should the
third of Clackamas county become
part of Multnomah county, Portlanl
would pay 90 per cent of the cost of
building these roads.
"It Is an Imposition to ask Port
land to bear this burden. It Is stated
that Portland needs these roads aa
much as the people In the area af
fected, because that area Is tributary
to Portland. As a matter of fact, that
area will continue to be tributary to
Portland whether annexation suc
ceeds or not In like measure the
area extending clear to southern Ore
gon Is tributary to Portland, but It
iiibi uwa m an nripnJ"ieni tor r-orx-
lnds psylng for the roads to south-
ern Oregon V
Now the oiieetlon arises if Mult
nomah county does not want outside
territory annexed should the annex
ation bills carry? Certainly not
The people who are directly affected
' ty such measures should have the
way. There Is a way of providing for
settlement of county division questions
by the people who are affe-ted
. PnuMless a law looking to this end
wtll be enacted try the coming legts
latere.
' Meanwhile the only sane conrse for
people to take with reference to the
division bill now up la to vote "N j '
upon all of them.
MAXLY COURSE.
When Theodore Roosevelt was run
ning for vice president In 1900 he
spoke in Denver the stronghold ot
the free silver move. At that time It
was no( popular to talk of the gold
standard in Colorado but when he
spoke in Denver Roosevelt did not
dodge or trim. In opening his ad
dress he said: "I stand here as 1
stand when I am in New York. I
am for the gold standard." It was
a manly declaration and It gained
Roosevelt the respect of his hearers
though they disagreed with his views.
Some of this same sort of courage
was shown here the other night by
Oswald West when he referred to the
attack made upon him by Judge
Bennett of The Dalles. In the demo
cratic primary campaign Judge Ben
nett attacked West for lobbying
against a bill that was before the last
legislature and which referred to the
handling of livestock by railroads.
In his speech here Tuesday evening
West gave his reason for dlsaprov
lug of that bill and he declared him
self as still opposed to such a mea-i
sure. He boldly stated that If he
should be elected governor and if that
same bill should be passed by the leg
islature he would veto it, "This may
defeat me," he said, "but that Is
where I stand Just the same."
The attitude of Mr. West In this
regard is In fine contrast to the at
titude of his opponent. As a candi
date for governor Mr. West stands
exactly as he stood when he was not
a candidate. Mr. Bowerman Is act
ing differently. He Is the candidate
of the assembly and he should be
the open -champion of the assembly
cause. Assemblytsm ; Is the one big
i Issue in the campaign. But Bower-
man refuses to meet the issue which
he himself was Instrumental in cre
ating. "He Is running away from that
fight and is attacking a "man of
straw" Bournelsm.
A PAHTIAL COXFESSIOX.
Prompted plainly by a desire to
gain votes and not by regard for the
principle involved J. X. Burgess has
come out in what is set forth by his
press agent as a declaration for
statement Xo. 1. It is evident that
Mr. Burgess has become frightened
and feels he should do some trim
ming. He started out as an anti-
statement candidate. He was brought
ii.to the senatorial race by men who
hate statement Xo. 1; men who early
ir the game were going to follow the
Cregonian's suggestion and "put the
knife to the hilt" into every state.
ment Xo. 1 candidate regardless ' ol
prty. Those men are assemblyites
and Mr. Burgess is an assemblyite
He was one of the self-selected Uma
tilla delegates to the great and all
wise assembly held in Portland dur
ihg July. How that assembly felt
toward statement Xo. 1 Is well known
They loved statement Xo. 1 as the
devil likes holy water.
In view of these things It Is mar
vtlous that Mr. Burgess should go a.i
far as he has towards endorsing state
ment Xo. 1. However he has not gone
far. As the East Oregonian inter
prets Mr. Burgess' statement he will
abide by the statute but he does not
take the statement No. 1 pledge. He
Is the same sort of a statement man
as was S. P. Wilson when the latter
ran against C. A. Barrett for the Joint
senatorial nomination. , He Is the
same sort of a statement man as was
Dr. M. S. Kern before Dr. Kern came
cut manfully and subscribed to state
ment Xo. 1.
In other words Mr. Burgess has
made a "deathbed confession" but
he has not told everything. He will
have to "come through" some more
If he wishes to attain salvation via
the statement Xo. 1 route.

THE STRANGER.
Sertous-mlnded little maid,
Wondering and half afraid;
Half inclined to speak with me.
Half disposed to let me be;
Hesitating '' and shy,
Half a twinkle in your eye.
Half in doubt and half In fear,
Staying neither far nor near.
How I wonder what you see
With thoJe eyes that question me;
What the instinct bids you know
If I may be friend or foe;
Fawnlike, full of grace and sweet,
Ready with fast flying feet
In the orchard's deepest shade
To find cover, little maid.
Grave and curious little lass,
Like a wild bird in the grass,
Still intently watching me.
With your wings half spread to see
If my smile bodes good or 111,
Willing to make friends and still
Undecided if to stay
Here and near or fly away.
i
Serious-minded little maid.
When, with smiles and unafraid,
O'er the lw you come to me,
Stranger to you though I be,
When your curious eyes have tried
Soul with mine and. satisfied.
Looked still Into mine and smiled,
Blessed am I, little child.
Blessed am I to be Just
Worthy of your childish trust.
More than conqueror of kings
When the wild bird of your wings
Bids you fly not forth, but see
Something tender, kind. In me;
Oh, the gladness you have laid
At my heart's gate, little maid!
J. W. Foley, In St. Louis Glohe-
Democrat.
THE BREAD I BAKE.
You tell me that you hold me dear.
You say that for my love you sigh;
You're only happy when I'm near.
Without me you would want to die.
That's very nice, I won't deny.
Your heart I do not wish to break.
But will you Joke about my pie
And will you scorn the bread I
bake?
I've heard of husbands who would
sneer
And scold when matters went awry.
Who keep thew- wives in dread and
fear.
Who carp and grumble and decry.
Of course, you know, I don't imply
That such a course you're apt to
take,
But how about the chops I fry.
And will you scorn the 'bread 1
bake? !
Perchance within one fleeting year
You might not rate my charms so
high,
You might say that my roast was
queer
And call it tasteless, burnt and dry,
For me all dangers you'd defy.
You'd brave the gallows or the
the stake.
But will you' call my coffee lye,
And will you scorn the bread I
bake?
L'ENVOI.
There's this about the marriage tie:
You'd suffer all for my sweet sake.
But "how about the hats I buy?
And will you scorn the bread I
bake

"Can you tell me," said the cool

"Oh, yes, indeed," replied the man,
his eyes brightening. "And while
you are waiting," he added, "won't
you have a glass of soda?"
"Oh. thank you," said the young
lady as he set it down before her.
The day being hot. In a few moments
she drained the glass.
"Is the prescription ready?" she
asked sweetly, wiping her mouth.
The young man's eyes' gleamed
with benevolence. "The prescription,"
he said, tapping the glass, "was in
here?"
"Do you meaa to say I've drunk
It?" she screamed. "But it wasn't
for me It was for my little brother!"
And she swept from the drug store.

newspaper.
The first returns received In St.
Paul concerning the Kansas primary

Anthony had been defeated.
"Too bad," remarked Ralph Brown.
"Guess I'll cheer him up a bit."

ceived this -messages
"Friend Dan: Rather right than
congressman. R. F. Brown."
Returns came In and the final
count gave Anthony a majority.
