DREAMING.
How fond the dream at even-
ing's 'close
When twilight shadows creep,
As if to drown the drtiwsy day
In balm of sweetest sleep.
This is the hint of life we hold.
From other realm than earth
And, maybe, this the Eden
dream
That ushered in our birth.
O. D. Gorman.

they come as raw recruits to State
ment One, or as armt an! cap-a-pled
cavaliers of assemblj Ism ? Do.
they approach as meek and mourning
probationers at the feet of the direct
primarj'i or as pastmasters and high
priests of reaction? If they come as
humble petitioners for us to let the
dead past bury its dead, where are
their confessions of guilt, and their
promises to lead a better life?
What a picture, to see Judge Ellis,
bearing gifts and on the mourners"
bench at an insurgent meeting?
What a scene to behold Mr. Hawley
seeking righteousness at the feet of
the Oregon system?" What a spec
tacle to see Mr. Fulton robed in the
vestments of insurgency, with
"Statement! One" branded on bis
girdle, and a pledge to the direct pri
mary in his hair? But yesterday,
head fugleman and bugleman of as
semblyLxm, how the trio would loom,
tending the altar fires and leading
the march of Oregon insurgency?
If, however, they come to us as
simon pure Statement One men, why
I.i the state committee trying to "put
the knife" under the fifth rib of the
presidential primaries?
AS TO IMPROVEMENTS.
CIVILIZING THE KEDMEX.
General R. H. Pratt, first president
of the Carlisle Indian school and
who Is now in Oregon, says the only
way to civilize the redmen Is to ab
olish reservations and keep educated
Indians away from their own peo
ple. But it is superficial reasoning. It
lr true that when an Indian is giv
en schooling away from his own peo
ple he will take on more polish and
perhaps may be a more zealous stu
dent. It is also a fact that when an
educated Indian goes back among his
tribesmen he is sorely tempted to
retrograde."
But these facts are not sufficient to
condemn the plan that is followed" by
the government. It is easy to point
out why an educated young Indian
may wish to go back to the tepee and
the blanket. It is because bo many
of his tribesmen, probably a majority,
live that way. An educated Indian is
not showing signs of depravity be
cause he wants to go back to the old
ways. He is merely moved by that
human impulse that makes all peo
ple, whether white men or red wish
t make their actions confirm to the
ways of the rest of the clan. They
are afraid of being "queer chickens."
White people are the same way.
But the time will come after while
When, thanks to government education
of the Indians, the majority of In
dians will be of the educated sort,
not of the blanket variety. Just as
that element of Indians comes to
predimonate so will education and
industry grow in favor among the
redmen. As the old tribesmen upon
a reservation pass away their places
will be taken by the young men who
have been trained by the govern
ment. That situation has almost come
about upon the Umatilla reservation.
If the day is not yet at hand it will
soon come when it will be unfashion
able to wear the old time garb and
to follow the old time customs. When
that time comes it wont be hard to
keep educated Indians from "going
back." The reservation policy will
then be vindicated.
To follow General Pratt's advice
would bring only sorrow to the red
men. His plan dots not take into
consideration the gulf that exists be
tween the Indian and his whiter
brother and which gives the advan
tage to the latter. It is impossible to ;
hastily bridge that gulf of centuries
and tragic failures usually follow
such attempts.
The happiness of the Indians can
best be served by an educational pol
icy that looks to the elevation of the
tribe, not of the individual.
SARCASTIC.
The Portland Journal waxes sarcas
tic over the ways of the Oregon re
actionaries. Yesterday It had the
following unkind words about the
one-time astsemblyltea who now en
dorse the Oregon system:
How the reactionaries do throng
about us. There's Judge Ellis of
Pendleton, going, they Bay, to be a
candidate for congress. There's Mr.
Hawley, candidate to succeed him
self. There' ex-Senator Fulton,
whooped for senator at the Lin
coln banquet, and most likely to be
a candidate. Finally, there's the
state committe - trying to administer
knockout drops to the presidential
primary so a convention can be held.
Behold, in what garb do these mili
tant standpatters approach us? Do
The strictly business side of the
subject of street improvements is
worthy of attention and in looking at
the matter from that point of vitfw
a property owner who lives on a good
street is liable to see reasons for fa
voring a hard surface -paving over
macadam. There are many who
firmly believe that from a strictly
business standpoint the best class of
improvement is the most profitable
in the long run because it wont wear
out.
But people should not look at this
matter entirly from what is usually
considered the business standpoint,
The esthelic side is also worthy of
consideration. It Is a source of much
satisfaction to live on a street that is
clean, sanitary ami neat all the year
round even if one does not make any
money out of it It is nice for a home
to have a nice lawn with trees,
shrubbery and flowers even if the
owner does not make any money off
these things. Usually he does not
want to make money in that way.
It is usually good business policy
to make permanent improvements
when improvements are to be made.
But people are justified if they go to
some expense for reasons of civic or
personal pride.

Cottolene is a vegetable product without an ounce of hog fat
in it It is made from" the choicest cotton oil, extracted from the
seed picked on the fields of the Sunny South. It is a product of
Nature, and makes wholesome, digestible, healthful food.
Cottolene is made in a cleanly manner -from Cottonfield to Kitchen
human hands never touch the oil from which Cottolene is made. It
is the one high-grade, absolutely pure and perfect
cooking fat and far 'preferable from a health and
economic standpoint to butter, lard or any other fat.
Cottolene is more eco

because it goes one-third

AMERICAN WOMEN CULTURED?
"Is the American woman a person
of culture?"
My wife frowned as though the in
quiry was unwelcome, then with a
tragic air, "I have realized perfectly
all the while that you were leading
up to this, and I have been trying
to consider. Is the American woman
cultivated? Every one knows that
the American man as a rule Is not.
It was scarcely worth whi'e arguing
the question'. But is she?" Josephine
raused a moment absorbed in reflec
tion, then added, but more mourn
fully than her word3 seemed to war
rant, "We are supposed to be. We
have the reputation of being; at least
among ourselves.".
I felt the. occasion to be one when
silence on my part would be golden
and that the stern requirements of
Josephine's conscience would not per
mit her to shirk the issue. Yet I
could not refrain from egging her on,
so to speak, by the basely specious
words, -"I have been brought up to
believe that no foreign woman was to
be mentioned in the same breath with
her."
"Why not?" she retorted on the in
stant with the tenseness of protest.
Then In a firm but plaintive voice she
proceeded as follows: "Do we speak
languages? In no city is there more
than a sprinkling of American women
able to converse fluently with the vis
iting foreigner. We have to scurry
around to find them. What perma
nent contributions have we made to
scholarship ' Virtually none. Are
we proficient musically We take
lessons from early youth and flock
to fashionable concerts to hear prima
donnas; but unlike the English or
German girl, unless we are prodigies,
we shring from performing within
earshot of any one but the family.
Are we accomplished housewives?
The young American woman of every
class has never bothered her head
about housekeeping until she had to.
Now the educators are trying to bring
her to her senses by schools of do
mestic science. Are we familiar with
or adepts at politics? A fastidious
few follow the ins and outs of Euro
pean political parties, but as a sex
we have always complained that our
own politics are not interesting"

father," by Robert Grant, in the Feb
ruary Scribner.

"Do you know," asked the ab
stainer, "that the money which the
American people spend for drink
in a single year would be sufficient
to build a stone tower forty feet in
diameter and a mile high?"
"Would it " asked the man with
the spongy nose, "but who wants a
silly old stone tower like that "
The Sympathetic Father.
"Do you expect to send your boy
to college?"
"Yes. After the hard studylne he
is compelled to do in high school I
think it is no more than right that
he should have a few years of play
before he goes to work.

The Turning Point
The turning point in many a business man's career is
the moment when he and his banker come to a perfect
understanding.
With character, capacity and some capital, that other
essential to success, credit, is easily attained.
The officers of this Rank desire to know business men
in order that they may become acquainted with their
character, capacity, and resources, and be in position to
add to their enterprise the co-operation which a conser
vative bank is permitted to give.
The best way to acquire acquaintance and mutual
understanding is to carry an account here.
