Telephone Main 1 THE UA1X BEAU. One stormy morn 1 chanced to meet A lassie in the town; Her locks were like the ripened wheat. Her laughing eyes were brown. I watched her as she tripped along Till madness filled my brain. And then and then I know 'was wrong I kissed her in the rain: With rain-drops shining on her cheek. Like dew drops on a rose, The little lassie strove to speaK My boldness to oppose; She strove in vain, and quiv ering Her fingers stole In mine; Then the birds began to sing, And the sun began to shine. Oh, let the clouds grow dark, above. My heart is light below; "Tis always summer when we love, However winds may blow; And I'm as proud as any prince, All honors I decline; She says I am her rain beau since I kissed her in the rain. As usual there are some legislators bow at Salem who haven't sense enough to know what A Mirigukted they are there for. Solon. They seem to forget the real purpose of the legislature and Imagine they are there to play petty politics against the governor because he is of an opposite faith. There is one senator who thinks he sees a chance to "put West in a hole" on account of his humane prison pol icy. ' Here is the way he is quoted in the Portland Telegram: "Kvea now the penitentiary may be a arsenal, with the gang of human hyenas in there awaiting a favorable opportunity for an outbreak, with its possible carnage and horrors. Then think of what it would mean for hun dreds of such abandoned and wicked men to be at large. There would be a reign of terror throughout the length and breadth of Oregon." Horrlbleiferous! How that senator must live in dread while he is at the State Capital. How he must worry and sweat with fear lest some of those "hyenas" break out of the prison and chew off his ears. If he stays faithful ly at his post m spite of danger for the 40 days session he will be en titled to a Carnegie pension and a medal also. Yet if that senator had only read the newspapers he would not feel so scared. He would know that a short time ago the convicts had a splendid chance to escape. The prison caught fire, but instead of making a break for freedom the "abandoned and J wicked" men turned in and helped the fire department extinguish the flames to save the property of the state. He would also know that 'carnage and horror" does not necessarily fol low when convicts gain their freedom. We know this because for months a band of convicts was at large down in southern Oregon. Yet all they did was to build a road and then go back to Salem. At another time a blood thirsty lifetimer was given a parole by Governor West so he could work off a mortage his father-in-law had incurred during his trial. When the mortgage was lifted the man went back to prison of his own free will. The news records show that bloody outbreaks do not occur at prisons where a humane policy is followed. Such outbreaks happen at prisons where the old mediaeval methods are still In use. Experience also shows that the humane or honor policy of prison management is a success wherever tried. It is bound to be successful when properly administer ed because It is founded on the sound principle that It Is easier to lead men than to drive them Legislators who are trying to em harass Governor West by carping against his prison policy are upon the wrong track. They have been misled by the Portland Oregonian and they should know better than to trust that paper's guidance. They should also know by this time that the people of Oregon want the legislature to legis late and drop that petty political high bindery. It does not promote legis lative efficiency. It does not shorten the initiative ballot. It is well known that "truth is stronger than fiction" and the old adage is verified by the Miraculous, following story vouched for as truthful by the Kansas City Journal: Down in Texas twenty years ago a wealthy young farmer Jilted a young, beautiful and spirited girl. She killed herself because of outraged sensibil ities and mental distress. Her brother sought out the faithless suitor and fired a bullet into his head. Thinking that he had avenged the wrong done his sister, he, too, committed suicide But the bullet intended as a messenger of vengeance only slightly wounded the young farmer and sped on, be coming imbeded in the trunk of a nearby tree. Now comes the strange part of this true story. Twenty years have elapsed and the farmer, no longer young, but still wealthy, was directing the removal of some trees on the farm. In trying to cut up these trees it was deemed necessary to use dynamite in blasting a tough tree trunk. That charge of dynamite happened to be placed under the bul let fired by the girl's brother twenty years before and the bullet, now loosened from its long confinement, was sent flying from the tree trunk by the dynamite and struck the far mer in the head, causing his death. Before he expired the farmer told the story of the bullet to his son. Thus vengeance, delayed twenty years, fin ally came in as odd a way as ever the inventive mind of man conceived. What do you know about that. Joseph Walker, prominent Massa chusetts republican, former speaker '.of the house, of repi-esen-ClOMlng tatives and G. O. P. can Tire Gap. dldate for governor in the last campaign, has quit the elephant cold and swears that hence forth he is a bull mooser. His be havior is due to the election of John W. Weeks as senator from Massachus etts to succeer Crane. Weeks is a re actionary and his election convinces Walker that the g. o. p. In Massachus etts is too stan dp at for him. The ac tion of Walker is significant in that It shows how the two factions of. the old party are getting together in one state of the union. They are going in opposite directions and if the process continues they will meet In China in the course of time. Governor Oddie of Nevada seems to be tired of having his state known throughout the land as a state where easy divorces may be had and where there is no law against prizefighting. Possibly Nevada's fame has not at tracted the right sort of people to that commonwealth. A minister who ruins a young girl should get double punishment, half for his crime and the other half for his hypocrisy. The chlnook makes General Janu ary appear like a mollycoddle.

THE NATIVE WORKMAX. The native American wage earner is rapidly disappearing, writes W. Jett Plauck in the Atlantic Monthly. Along with him have also gone his working companions of former years, the English, Irish, Scotch, Swedes, Norwegians and Germans. On'.y one fifth of the workers in the mines and manufacturing plants today are na tive Americans. About one-tenth of our wage earners are the native born children of parents from Great Brit ain and Ireland, Germany and the Scandinavian countries. More than three-fifths of our great body of in dustrial workers are southern or eastern Europeans. This type of im migrant has had no industrial train ing abroad. He has also brought with him a low standard of living and has been tractable and subservient. As a result, his competition has ex posed the native American and older immigrant employes to unsafe or un sanitary working conditions, and hu led to or continued the imposition o. conditions of employment which the Americans and older immigrants have considered unsatisfactory and, in many cases unbearable. He has been Inclined, as a rule, to acquiesce in the demand on the part of the employers for extra work or longer hours. The presence of the recent immigrant industrial worker has also brought about a standard ol life with which the native American and older immigrant employes have been, unwilling, or have found It ex tremely difficult, to compete. He has no permanent interest in the commu nity in which he lives or the indus try in which he is employed. His main purpose is to live as cheaply as possible, and to save as much as he can. Everywhere improved machin ery and mechanical processes are el iminating the element of skill former ly required of employes, and are mak ing it possible for the unskilled foreign-born ' workman to enter occupa tions which have hitherto been be yond his qualifications. Unless the native American and older British or northern European wage-earnet can do something to elevate the standards of the recent immigrants their competition in the higher occu pations will be followed by as seri ous results as have already attended their invasion of the lower grades of the industrial scale. in w&m m & '--Mtftflrvjv Many aitrerent styles in stocKior scnooi, OyA III romP drcss purposes. r Jx$h' III The Alexander Dep't.

"But he has a box of candy with him," was the word that came back from the maid. The young lady reflected. "No," she finally said, "It isn't worth It. Tell him I'm out" Philadelphia T49rpti. , ... ' , ... ' TEST OF AMERICAN HONOR. President Taft voiced the highest American conscience when he declar ed that he would favor submitting the canal tolls dispute to arbitration. His utterance has the further effect of expressing the doubt, or the divi sion of mind, which the country has held upon the propriety of its own act. To England and to the world he. has impressively admitted not only that there is a question but that the question exists in the mind of our own people. In exempting its own coastwise vessels from tolls America has done something which it is in doubt about. The Hay-Pauncefote treaty provides: "The canal shall be free and open to the vessels of commerce and war of all nations observing these rules, on terms of entire equality, so there shall be no discrimination against any such nation, or its citizens or sub jects, in respect of the conditions or charges of traffic or otherwise." With Great Britain our arbitration treaty binds us to submit to arbitra- fljShoe Polishes FINEST QUALITY LARCCST VARIETY mm mm I :. VKf ill y -- J llnv Is a Simple Way of Correcting It Instantly Heforo It Becomes Chronic. Very few people go through life without Home time or other being troubled with constipation. Thou sands lnjtie themselves by the use of strong catha .lcs, Bait mineral waters, pills and similar things. They have temporary value In some cases, it is true, but the good effect Is soon lost and the more one takes of them the less' effective they become. A1'phy8lc or purgative Is seldom ne cessary, and much better any more permanent results can be obtained by using a scientific remedy like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It does not hide behind a high sounding name, but is what it is represented to be, a mild laxative medicine. It is so mild that thousands of mothers give it to tiny Infants, and yet it is so compounded, and contains such defl note ingredients that it will have equally good effect when used by a person suffering from the worst chronic constipation. In fact, among the greatest endorsers of Syrup Pep sin are elderly people who have suf fered for years and found nothing to benefit them until they took Syrup Pepsin It Is a fact that millions of families have Syrup Pepsin constantly in the house, homes like those of Mrs. G. B. Pruitt, Berea, Ky., who used Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin as a laxative tonic. Mrs. Pruitt writes that It so strengthened and cleansed her sys tem that she was quickly relieved of a severe cough which had troubled her for months. The special value of this grand laxative tonic is that it is i -v. , M 1 MRS. G. R. PRUTTT suited to the needs of every member of the family. It is pleasant-tasting, mild and non-griping. Unlike harsh physics it works gradually and In ry brief time the stomach and bow el muscles are trained to do their work naturally again, when all medi clnes can be dispensed with. - xou can obtain a bottle at any drug store for fifty cents or one dol lar. The latter size is usually bought by families who already know its val ue. Results are always guarantee or money will be refunded. If no member of your family has used Syrup Pepsin and you would like to make a personal trial of It before buying it in the regular way of a druggist, send your address a postal will do to Dr. W. B. Caldwell 417 Washington St., Montlcello, 111., and a free sample bottle will be mail ed you. tio all questions growing out of the interpretation of treaties, provided they do not affect the vitality, inde pendence or honor of the contracting parties and do not involve the Inter ests of third parties. Could there be a plainer case for arbitration than the tolls dispute in the light of these treaties? A volun tary repeal by congress Itself of Its own act concerning which the coun try entertains misgivings would be in still better grace,, but the country cannot save its face or preserve its self-respect and the respect of the nations by anything less than yield lng to arbitration when Britain Dress es the demand. American oonacleneit good faith and common honesty were never more flatly put to the test. Is the word of the United States given to the world in a treaty worth the paper it is written on?
