If when we come to lay our
burdens down
We know that we have done our
level best
Along the valley of our living
and the crest,
We may, perhaps, receive the
victor's crown,
But we may not. The king and
eke the clown
Go forth, obedient to the last
behest,
To seek the hazard of an un-
tried quest,
The glory of the grave of their
renown.
Let lose or win, if conscience be
but clear,
Our souls, released from every
doubt and care,
Are not by divers doctrines sore
distressed,
And In that unknown Else-
where, far or near,
Our faith remains that all our
life was square
And that shall be forever joy
and rest.
L. J. Lampton.
5LY MISS THE GOAL.
There are as many plans for se
curing good roads as there are routes
to heaven. Incidentally it seems as
hard for good roads advocates to
agre upon plans as it Is for church
men to lay aside their creeds. In
Oregon at this time the good roads
people are forgetting the end which
all desire better highways and are
quarreling over the manner of ob
taining that end.
The best organized move for good
roads Oregon has ever seen is now on.
The state good. roads association has
before the legislature a plan for sys
tematic highway construction and for
co-operation between the state and
the counties in sharing the expense.
Yet strange as it may seem this
move is earnestly opposed by the
members of the grange and of the
farmers' co-operative union. Many
western Oregon representatives are
opposing the good roads measures at
the instance of their grange consti
tuents. Eastern Oregon senators and
representatives are doing the same at
the request of the farmers unions
o this section. The president of the
Umatilla county farmers' union is at
Salem lobbying against the bill.
Just why bo many farmers are op
posing the good roads measure is
difficult to understand. The move Is
not a selfish scheme on the part of
Portland people. Those people are
acting with the greatest liberality in
this matter. The move proposed is a
move for the benefit of the entire
state but largely at the expense of
Portland. Should the good roads
measures pass Portland will have to
pay one-third the state money that Is
used, or about 1200,000 in, one year.'
Yet Multnomah county itself will not
get a particle of direct good out of
the measure. Multnomah county al
ready has good roads and will ask
for none of the state money. In back
ing good roads legislation Portland
people are taking a broad view of
affairs and are striving to build up
their city through the betterment of
the state at large.
Objection is raised by many to the
Idea of having a highway commission
and a highway commissioner or en
gineer drawing 14000 per year. It
Li charged that the commission will
take the building of the roads "away
from the people." But this objection
ie weak because the county courts
will say where roads shall be con
structed and will also expend the
money. The engineer will merely di
rect the methods of roadbuilding. Nor
Is the commissioner's salary of $4000
anything to excite serious objection.
If the state can spend 100,000 for
good roads surely it can spend 14000
for a capable engineer to supervise
the work. Without proper supervls
lcn there is danger of Improper work
and of consequent loss.
In the view of the East Oregonlan
much of the objection to the plan of
the good roads association arises out
of a misunderstanding of the tneaa-
ures and of the motives of the men be
hind the same. Perhaps the good
roads leaders did not take the peo
ple of the state sufficiently into their
confidence in this matter. It is evi
dent that something is wrong some
whore. From appearances at present
Oregon will not have good roads be
cause the people are unable to agree
how to obtain them.
riumxT the children.
In an editorial upon the subject of
child labor the Spokesman-Review
presents some ideas that are basic.
Children, it says, are assets of the
state. It has an interest in them and
a duty toward them that are only
second, if second at all, to the par
ents' duty and interest. -The ex
ploitation of children as laborers at
ages and in occupations that injures
them has been found by bitter ex
perience to work physical and moral
harm to society. It is incumbent up
on legislators and citizens to consider
the principles that should inspire an 1
guide laws in regard to children's
labor.
The first is that children have the
richt to childhood, which consists In
living the life that is peculiar to the
,'hili and fits it for the self-propelled
life of the man or woman. This right
contains the right not to be obliged
to labor at self-support, or at helping
n support others, before it has been
given such elements of education and
Reached such maturity of body and
mind as reasonably qualify it to be a
useful member of society In all ways
ar.J to support a family. For society
not to insist and see to it that all
children receive at least this mini
mum of preparation for living is to
r'arit the foundation of the state in
quicksand. '
THIS BILL SHOULD PASS.
Senator Albee has a bill that de
serves adoption by the legislature. It
provides that railroad companies must
publish their time cards in newspa
pers. The bill Is aimed to do away
with the annoyance that train patrons
are subject to in looking up train
schedules. At this time the railroads
do not make a practice of publishing
their time cards and patrons must
learn about trains the best way they
can. Usually one must go to a de
pot to secure such information and
that often involves much inconveni
ence. Sometimes the needed Infor
mation may be secured by 'phone but
Pendleton people know that serious
difficulties attend that method of pro
cedure. It would not cost the rail
road companies much to publish their
time cards and certainly it would be
a big convenience to the ' public
while incidentally it would save rail
road employees many inquiries.
If reports are true President Taft
would make a treaty with Japan un
der which coolie labor may be admit
ted promiscuously to Ameria. If such
a treaty as that is adopted the presi
dent will do well to stay away from
the Pacific coast.
Perhaps the idea that Portland will
unselfishly spend 1200,000 for the con
struction of good roads throughout
the state is so startling that the farm
ers are loath to believe it.
Thus far four distinguished delega
tions have been here to look up the
matter of a branch asylum site. Un
doubtedly out of all this Investiga
tion some good will result.
Had a Name and a Voice.
In one of the schools in this city
where there are many Italian chil?
dren the music teacher was giving
her first lesson says the Philadelphia
Times. The teacher, who Is rather
stern In her way, struck the tuning
fork and sang the first note, the chil
dren following. All went well for a
short time until she suddenly discov
ered that one of the boys had a very
deep voice.
"Who's doing that deep singing?"
she demanded.
"Caruso," answered a voice from
the end of the room.
"I'll not stand for any fooling.
Who's singing that way?"
"Caruso," answered the deep voice.
Then followed a storm of words
from the teacher relative to "fooling"
in class and it so frightened the boy
that he couldn't open his mouth.
When he did try to say something
the teacher promptly commanded him
to come down to her office after
school.
This the lad did, and It developed
that the boy's name was Caruso Ca
ruso, and that he had no otner,
whereat the teacher suddenly saw her
mistake and to rectify it is giving the
hoy vocal lessons because she now be
lieves that she can make a great
singer out of him.

proud of the fact th! one of his an
cestors signed his signature with
many a curze and flourish. The

hausted in waiting for the buyer to
recognize him, he observed:
"You have a fine signature, Mr.

should have. One of my forefathers

MINUS THE PEOPLE,
Some weeks ago two little girls of
6 and 7 years old heard a party of
older people discussing skeletons.
The 6-year-old lass listened intently
to the conversation, when the elder
girl, with an air of superior knowl
edge, said abruptly:
"You don't know what a skeleton
Is, and I do."
"So do I!" sharply replied the
younger. "I do know! Ikknovv for
certain, I do."
"Well, now, what is it?" the elder
wanted to know.
"Why, it's bones with the people
off, that's what it Is!" Metropolitan
Magazine.
A CONSERVATIVE.
In a local shoe store one day this
week a stout man appeared to be hav
ing considerable difficulty in finding
just what he wanted.
After showing him a dozen or more
pairs the salesman blandly observed:
"Now, here is a pair that I think
will suit you to perfection."
After examining the shoes, the stout
man exclaimed. "I don't like them.
They are too narrow and too pointed."
"Ah," returned the clerk, "but they
are wearing narrow, pointed shoes
this season."
"Possibly," returned the stout man,
"but I am still wearing my last sea
son's feet." Youngstown Telegram.
When They Overreached.
As they paddled along In a nook,
She said faintly, "Why, Algeron, look
In the oak, I declare
I see misteltoe there!"
And the crew fished them out with
a hook.
