A PRAYER.
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:

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.
Governor West will be a right wel
come vNitor to the- fair this fall
j Pmrileton should send a large
; number of peach eaters to Freewater
Thursday. The Invitation has been
.extended to all and it should be ac

his desire for a larger and deeper m()n( Much less reason is there to

a taste of the latter sort. Let us

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."
Let's rid ourselves of this normal
