Here's still a dream of violets:
A bird is on t!ie wing,
Ar.d the sunlight's dreamin' 4
strcamin- where the hon- (
eysuckles swing; '
The vines are looking bright-
er on the old porch ;
there at home, ,
And the cattle-bells are rins- ,
ing and white the daisies
foam.

There are frost-flakes In the !

With soft, caressing fingers in
Winter's locks of gray,
We dream that Spring, sweet-
smiling, has kissed her
grief away.

HE SHENXEI) THE Sl IJJECT.
Now that President Taft has de
parted from the state after having
been cordially entertained in Port
land the fact that stands out most
conspicuously is that in his addresses
to the people of Oregon he never made
reference to a subject that Is of ab
sorbing interest here the Oregon
system.
In this respect the president failed
to show the frankness and candor
that have always been characteristic
of his predecessor. It is a habit of
Col. Roosevelt to declare his convic
tions when he talks in public no mat
- ter where he may be. When he ran
for vice president he went to Den
ver and talked for the gold standard
though Colorado was the stronghold
of free silver. He talked there as he
talked in New York.
While here last spring the ex-president
also discu&sed the Oregon sys
tem. Most of our reformatory meas
ures appeal to him and he said so,
though he made some criticisms too.
When Governor Woodrow Wilson
was here last sprin? he discussed the
Otegon system very freely. He had
warm praise for the initiative and
referendum, the dlreet primary and
other Oregon measure save the pro
vision for ihe recall of the Judiciary.
He criticis-d the recall of the judi
ciary and he criticised Oregon's long
ballot. Poms like'l what the visitor
siid and some did not, but all learned
wWre he stood.
It is regrettable that President Taft
" aid not express himself with reference
to direct legislation, the direct prim
ary law, the corrupt practices act,
th prudential preference law and
. other reforms that go to make up the
Oregon system. Thoso Ciins are of
nation-wide Interest and are of more
. pressing important than tno gPn(.raI
S'lbjeet of international pence. They
lave to do with making our demo
cracy effective win, maintaining
government i,, behalf of all the peo
ple rather than for the benefit ef cer
tain interests.
is President Taft oppose, to the
, Oregon pystem or did he merely fall
in with bad advisors while. In this
etate. The r.u-t is noticable that the
asemblyites w,.re rnu,h in evidence
during hi.s stay. In private they may
hnve been even busi'-r than they were
In public.
AXOTIIEIt ClilSADE?
The fantastic report Is out that
Italy will strive to retake the Holy
Land from the Turks, put wars are
new waged on different lines from
what they were In the days of Kich
ard the Lion Hearted. In those dayi
men fought for Gorl and the ladies,
but really for the love of fighting.
Nowadays most wars are for purpos
ei. of commercial expansion. If Italy
tries to take Palestine It will be more
for the sake of trade than to recover
the holy eupelchre. It would seem
thoui-'b iliat Uie commerce of Jerusa
lem and tributary territory would
nnrcely be worth the cost of the ru
BKireJ holy war.

LET IT SLEEP.
It la reported that the faloonmen.
or some of them, are espousing a
candidate for mayor. But why should
tliey biHOine so active? The saloon

now. The- ii:tstioti has been settled
and let it be hoped settled for a long
dm to come. IVndletnn is wot and
there Is no iff,. it on foot to make it
diy. Leading prohibitionists are wil
ling to accept the result us It stands.
Why cannot the sutoonmen also let
will enough alone? Pendleton dojs
m t neid a saloon mayor nor an anti
salnon mayor. What is needed is a
man who will strive to serve the city
a;- a whole and no particular class.

one of the most puzr.ling anj danger

Hie world. ,
In the light of these facts we are
frankly sorry that Taft is agaiu 11 can
.'.idab Even If he can be reelected
he cannot possibly stop this world
wide forward movement toward dem
ocracy. He personally cannot even
delay it much. He can, in fact, do
little more tiiun get run over, There
l.avo been ninny times in the world's
history when Tatts were needed.
There will be times again. Hut a
Taft today is a danger-spot.- He calls
to mind, to indulge in another met
phor, a stouthearted and musculai
volunteer on a boat In the rapids, de
voting himself to the task of heading
up-stream while, his craft sweeps
blindly on down among the rocks.
We need stersmen today, not re
sisters. We need men who Jook for
ward, not buck The men of today
are the very Wilsons and La Follettes
who, to Tail's mind, mean only dis
aster. There is nothing local about
these modern types; they are spring
ing up the world around. Even La
Felletto is a very mild reformer in
deed besrde the Pritish Lloyd-George.
The rulers of tomorrow are certain
to be the very "people," the very
"rabble" nnd "mob" that so disturb
Tai't in his husiness of dealing in a
dignified manner with recognized and
imposing officials -and judges and
"leaders" .And the 'will of the peo
ple" that is inevitably to prevail is th-
will, not at all of a few ancient gen
tlemen In knee-breeches, nut of the
