Never askin' time or tide to

Thank the Lord, the world is

Glad of blossoms
And of snow.
Little time have we to wait in
the vales of sighin';
There's a rosy, airship route,
an' we'll go a-flyin';
Slngin' happy
High an' low,
Glad of blossoms

ed. The purchase of the machine
was endorsed by the very men who
are now "muckraking" the superin
tendent. He boldly charges tha( the
hold over committee make no actual
investigation of the asylum and that
their attack upon him was prompted
by petty politics and not by meritori
ous reasons.
If tr. Steiner's statements are cor
rect and they certainly have the ring
o; sincerity he has been badly ma
ligned and a great injustice has been
attempted against the inmates of the
asylum. In order to fight the present
state board and Dr. Steiner a legisla
tive ilttiue has tried to greatly reduce
the asylum appropriation. They have
taken this stand upon the assumption
that citizens of Oregon are penurious
people and will endorse any move
that looks like economy. It has been
a heartless move for the reason that
the blow would fall most heavily, not
upon the superintendent, but upon
the unfortunate people under his
charge.
Out with such politics as this. It
has no place in a civilized state.
IT WOULD UK UNJUST.
SAN FKANCISCO WINS.
Umatilla county should object and
object strongly if the constitutional
amendment being fathered by the sen
ate committee on taxation looks to
taking the taxation of public service
corporations away from the counties
and giving it to the state.
As pointed out in a news story In
the East Orcgonian yesterday such
a change would work a heavy annual
loss upon this county and upon all
other counties, which like Umatilla,
have considerable railroad mileage. It
would inure to the benefit of Mult
nomah county and of interior counties
that have no mileage.
Evidently it is the intention of
those behind the move to raise all
money needed for state purposes from
the taxation of public corporations
if possible to do so. But it is an un
fair plan for this reason. Money
needed for state purposes should be
raise! from the various counties in
proportion to the wealth of those
counties. Now Multnomah county haj
an assessed valuation of 277 millions
while Umatilla has but a 10 million
assessment. In other words Multno
mah county is approximately seven
times as wealthy as Umatilla and
should consequently pay seven times
as much in state tax-s as does Uma
tilla, But see here. Multnomah's assess
ment of public service corporations
amounts to less than twice as much
as docs that of Umatilla. The cor
poration assessment in Multnomah
totals 24 millions while in Umatilla
the corporations are assessed at over
12 millions. So If the state raises its
funds from the taxation of corpor
ations Umatilla county will have to
pay more than half as much as does
Multnomah when this county should
Justly pay but one-seventh as much
as Multnomah. ' Interior counties
that have no public service corpora
tions would be excused entirely from
payment of state taxes.
In the view of the East Oretronian
there is no Just reason for taking the
taxation of corporations away from
the counties an giving the same to
the state. Th'-re may be sound ar
gument in support of the plan for
having the assessments of corpora
tions made by the state tax commis
sion, rather than by the various
county assessors. But that plan Is
now already In operation and hence
this phase of the subject can have no
bearing upon the move said to be con
templated by the senate taxation
committee.
After a hard and furious fight San
Francisco has won out in its efforts
tc land the Panama exposition. The
issue was practically decided yester
day when the house of representa
tives at Washington voted for the
Pacific coast city. Under the circum.
stances it was a notable victory and
San Francisco deserved to win. The
people of the city by the Golden Gate
will arrange a good exposition and
they will see that the enormous
crowds are properly handled. They
do things that way in San Francisco.
Then San Francisco and the state of
California will finance their own
show. They ask for no money from
the federal government. Again it
will be more appropriate to hold the
Panama exposition in a Pacific coast
city than at New Orleans. The Pa
nama canal will mean more to the
west than' it can possibly mean to
the gulf states. '

IMPROA'E JACKSON STREET.
Preliminary steps towards secur
ing a new Main street bridge are be
ing taken and there are few who
will deny but that the move is a pro
per one. The present bridge is old
and it is but a question of a short
time until it must be replaced. But
what is being done towards street
improvements this summer? Worse
oven than the Main street bridge is
the condition of the streets in many
portions of the city. Jackson street
i. one of the very worst. It is a dis
g;ace to the city and now that the
branch asylum is to be located below
town the improvement of that street
Sand also of Ualey street will be Im
perative. Yet the East Oregonlan
has as yet heard of no move to pave
or macadamize those streets. Would
it not be folly to build a fine new
steel bridge unless the north sid.
thoroughfare leading away from that
hri'le is also to be improved?
Local people will care but hull
whether the branch asylum is to be
located upon the Daniels place or up
on the Oliver-Carpenter tract. ( What
we want is the institution. The so
li c-tion of a site is up to the state
hoard. Those men must be respon
sible for the erection of the branch
hospital and they are in the best po
sition to judge of building sites.
Roosevelt says he is a progressive.
Assuredly he is. He is the man who
put "the breath of life" Into the pro
gressive move that Is now sweeping
the country and is .making trust mag
nates foar God and even have some
respect for the laws of the land.
A wag once declared that all good
Americans went to Paris when they
died.
In like manner It may be said that
all good old maids come to New York
when they die. 'If they are really
clever and good for much they don't
wait to die before they come; they
come while they are still a'lve and
able to enjoy the terrestrial paradise
of the spinster.
No other city In the world shelters
so many unattached women, and the
number grows every year by leaps
and bounds, for word has been pass
ed along the line of spins that New
York is the really and truly Mecca
for the unmarried woman; the only
place where a woman without a bus
band is frankly regarded more as an
object of envy than a subject for pity.
As a result every unappropriated
blessing the country over who has
the price packs her trunk and hikes
out for the promised land, where a
woman has the right to stay single or
double as she pleases, without having
to stand for the contemptuous com
ments of her neeiualntanwu.
Not by accident does that eternal
old maid, the Goddess of Liberty,
stand guard at the gateway of New
York. She Is a symbol of the free
dom that the greatest city in Ameri
ca offers to the spinster. .
The hegira of unmarrrea women to
New York has been accomplished so
quietly that few peopre realize how
great It has been or how large is the
colony of husbandless ladies, but they
are counted by the tens of thousands,
and still their number grows.
To begin with, there is an army of
professional women, writers, artists,
actresses, designers, stenographers,
buyers and so on who naturally find
New York the best market for their
talents. Besides these, however, there
is a legion of women who do not have
to work, women who are rich or well
to do who have simply come to New
York to live because this city is the
one place in which a lone, lorn woman
suffers no inconvenience from not
having a man tied to her apron strin.
or, "Miss" on her visiting card.
The reason for this ts eny to find.
In Now York the unmarried woman
occupies nn entirely ditlerent status
from that which she holds In any
other place. Elsewhere, and especial
ly in the provinces, mere Is a tacit
belief that when a woman is a spin
ster she is one by force of circum
stances in a word, that she didn't
marry because she couldn't. New
York assumes that the old maid is
an old maid by choice, and that she
didn't marry because she didn't want
to.
Whatever the facts in the case, this
latter theory is naturally a soothing
one to the spinister's vanity.. It is also
agreeable to dwell among those who
regard it as no reflection upon a
woman's charms for her not to be
able to exhibit some man's scalp as
the result of the prowess of her bow
and spear, but who on tne contrary,
are disposed to think tnat the woman
with a good profession or an ample
income, and her own latchkey and in
dividual poe-ketbook, and nobody with
a legal right to tell her of her faul's,
has, as St. Paul says, chosen the bet
ter part. Selected.

Cloths made literally from wood
are the latest sartorial venture. A
besinning is being made with the
making of waistcoats. The discovery
of this new process is largely due to
the fact that bleached cotton is
known to be composed of very nearly
purr; cellulose.
Working on this basis, scientists
have discovered a method of manu
facturing a thread of cellulose ex
tracted from spruce wood.
Cotton spinners are exceeding opti
mistic about the discovery, It is as
serted, and with material manufactur
ed from this latest process expect to
produce clothing at prices far below
those now charged. The finest pro
duct will, It Is said, be cheaper than
cotton In tho bale.
In addition to this cardinal advan
tage, the new material can be dyed
nny color, and a very important
point the dye will not fade. Lastly,
the material Is nonlnflammable.
"The new process should bring the
best up-to-date attire within tne reach
of almost all," said an expert on
clothing matters yesterday . "Also,
since waistcoats are to be manufac
tured of this cellulose thread extract
ed from spruce wood, x can see no
reason why all the rest or one's suit
should not be made of a similar ma
terial. In fact, the discovery should
revolutionize the price of all cotton
goods." lyondon Correspondent New
