I pray Thee, give me some fairy glue, uch as the roses" artisans use, To mer.d this petal my careless touch. From the fragrant centre has broken loose; A rose is too perfect a Ithing to mar I would make it well of the hurt and bruise. P.estore me the city of Nineveh, With its people dust of the desert sand; Send blood to the cheek of the mummied Thais, The quiver of life . to her shrivelled hand. Put the old gods back in their shrines again. Lay the ancient sweetness up on the land. i ! These, my yesterdays, make them fair; Take all the wretchedness out of them. Of those most lovely I'd bind me a sheaf. Like a rose's petals about the stem. .So give back all of the spoils of death Bth :d: I clutch at Thy gar ment's hem: '.It Ts.ia Wood Pangborn in the Bookman. 4 i XHKHK'S A REASON. Why is it that certain gentlemen and int-rtsts of the city are seeking 1 to condemn the Thorn Hollow springs' ir, '"he minds of the citizens? Why j have thry organized svstematic campaign for that purpose? Why do val Re8erve, by William Francis Fen they persistently attack the members ton, Chehalem Mountain Orchards, cf the water commission and intimate N't-wberg, Oregon.) that the commission's books are not I straight? Why do they demand that these books te audite.1. w'.icr. t'.:cy know that they have been experted each year by competent bookkeepers? Why do thy so unceasingly misrepre sent facts? Why do they insist tha the commission has made a rah pur ihase of land when they know that the transaction is subject to cancella tion shojld the springs be found in adequate for the needs of the city? Why do they represent that the com mission is about to squander J200.000 on a worthies project when they know that not one cent of this sum will be expended until the worth of the project its definitely determined? Why do they not wait until the springs are developed before they brand them at- insufficient? Why all this insinu ation and misrepresenta'ti'on? There's a reason, ani the reason las not been proclaimed from the housetop by these gentlemen. They have don- all in their power to keep hidden their motive, but the truth will out. Th ir action has not been dlc-tat-J l.y a public splritedness, by a devotion to the interests of the peo ple of the city. No, they do not shine in that light. They are a bit more Sflfish li their movements. The campaign for discrediting the springs s backed by the milling com pany that claims all the waters of the mountains and which would not have its rights to these waters placed in question by any open fight in court or out. Therefore it moves in mys terious ways its wonders to perform. The bringing of water to the city from the mountains must be deferred as long &f- possible and it has begun its fight. It U not that It loves the rlty lens, it loves Itself more. THE WHITE PLAGUE WAR. The war on the great white plague Is being vigorously fought in many nations, as all know, says the Port land Journal editorially. But It is essentially an individual war. Those on the firing line are apt to lose heart for want of a general view. They may take courage from the fig ures laid before the conference for the prevention of consumption in fion three weeks ago in London by Mr. John Burns, the Labor minister. He phowed that as the result of pre ventive and curative measures, a considerable reduction In mortality from tuberculosis was already mark ed. He nlil that in t!u last ton years deaths from this soourse had dimin ished In KiiRland and Wales by 19 per cent, in Scotland by 24 per cent, in Ireland by 14 per cent, in Ger many by i$ per cent, in London alone by 30 per cent, in Berlin by 24 per ctnt and in Paris only by 3 per cent. The experts who supplied these figures note.l th.-.t the general death rate had d.vlinod about proportion ately, and that tile, deaths from al coholism were also falling. Mr tfunio finished his story with these notable words, "All these de clines wore coincident with better housing, improved education, the so cial improvement of the people, and their norm:l elevation." It is good for us sometimes to get the express sion of an optimist, especially of one who has exceptional chances of in formation collected from numberless sources. Myrtle Keed, who preached the doc trine of optimism in her "A Spinner in the Sun" and other novels, is dead by -her own hand. She evidently could not swallow her own pill. In her last statement, she gave as her reason lack of proper consideration bj her "mdel husband," which all goes to prove that "you never can tell b the label." If cleanliness is next to godliness t. the old passage declares, then State School Superintendent Alder man is a latter day apostle. In his pamphlet on the new course of study just off the press, he admonishes all teachers :o see that their pupils keep tiu-ir hair combed, their finger nails titan and mend to other details of their toilet. "Expert, audit" is the cry of the enemies of the Thorn Hollow springs in their efforts to discredit the com missioners. They do not doubt the '-.onesty of these gentlemen, yet they hint that they have juggled their ac counts, and they demand that their books be gone over by an expert. ;Thlr error, made knowingly, lies in -.the fact that the books of the com- j mlssione.-s have been experted each -j.vear and the annual report pub jlished. so that there has been noth- jing hidden from the people.

Although he has not been in ' congress as long as many of his col leagues, he has come into prominence ' because of his work on the house committee on naval affairs and as a member of the committee on enrolled , Dills. Mr. Anthony was educated In the public schools of Leavenworth and also attended the Michigan military academy and the University of Mich- j igaii. He received a law degree and j was admitted to the bar, but has ' been negaged in practical newspaper i work all his life.

The Leader does not share the va gue shadowy suspicion that the state board and Governor West are lntirl gui.ng to "tie us up" for the benefit of some other town. Such a view is contrary to the public record of the governor, who Is inclined to err, if at all, on the side of frankness. Witness his passage at arms with the governor of California, and his lively tilt with the prgmoters af irrigation schemes in Central Oregon. We are inncined to think that Governor West regards the of for of this property to Weston as a simple act of justice. But if we positively knew it to be a scheme for the aggrandizement of La Grand, or Baker, or Kalamazoo, or the kindly capital of the Akhoond of Swat, we wou'd say, "Give us the goods, and hand the lemon to whomesoever yearneth therefore."
