If 1 knew the box where the
smiles mere kept
No matter how larfe the key
Or stronp the bolt. I would try
AO hard
Twould open. I know, for me.
Then, over the land And the jea,
broadcast,
I'd ACAtter the smile to play.
So that careworn people might
hold them fast
For many And many a day.
If I knew box that was large
enough
To hold All the frowns I meet,
I would like to gather them
every die.
From nursery, school and
street;
Then, folding And holding. I'd
pack them in.
And. turning the monster
key.
I'd hire a giant to drop the box
To the depths of the deep,

however, wilfully
declines to be honest in its own con
tentions. It seeks to deny the Asser
tion of this piper that notes and ac
counts are for the most part now ex
empt from taxation in this state.
Why such tomfoolery as that?
There is not a businessman In the state
but knows better. The taxation of
sotea, accounts and money in Ore
gon is a farce. It is doubtful if 10
per cent of this property is ever list
ed for taxation. Aside from the as
sessor of Umatilla county it is im
probable there is an assessor in the
slate that strives to make a real as
sessment of loaned money by check-!
lng up mortgages. For the course he
has taken here Mr. Strain has been
censured for years and the censure
baa come chiefly from the fact he
has been alone in doing bir duty. It
Is notorious that loans have not been
taxed in Multnomah county. One
Multnomah Assessor even went so far
Aa to privately announce fax and near
that people could make loans in his
county without danger of taxation.
FAstern Oregon money has regularly
been lured to Portland on that basis.
Any claim that there is any real tax
ation of this class of wealth in Port
land or In Oregon is not only false
but Is ridiculous to all who are in
formed .
One of the chief arguments for the
11500 exemption bill is that wealthy
people are already exempt on a great
portion of their personal property and
that It is but fair the ordinary citizen
should have an exemption. The ex
emption bill if passed will give the
common man a taste of the identical
benefit now enjoyed by the wealthy.
The only difference is that this $1500
(xemption will be legal whereas the
virtual exemption of notes, account
and money is ilUgal and based on
fraud and perjury, in which the-Ore-gorilan
cheerfully connives and seek
to cover up with falM-hood and
buncombe.
The Oregon Ion's appeal to honesty
in thla matter is a hilarious Joke.

In Pendleton the gas rate is $2 per

a chance to complain at its rate
how much too much is Pendleton pay

bear investigating, particularly since
the public utility commission now
has authority to handle the charges of
such corporations.

Madero was humane and sought to
deal with his foes in a spirit of justice
And fair play. Even when Felix Dlax

revolt in Vera Crux be was not exe

He was held In jail for a time and
then liberated- The result was an
other revolt, then the treachery of
Huerta and the downfall of the Ma

Had Madero shown severity Instead
of leniency he might be alive today
and Mexico might hav been saved
two years of bloody strife. Carranza
will show judgment if on coming Into
power he insists on punishment for
those responsible for the misery the
Mexican people have endured as a re

THE PERSONAL HAIUTS OF
A W1K.U OI'EHA MNGKH.
In the AugUHt American Magazine
Mart Garden, the celebrated opera
sinxer. writes an autobiographical ar
tide of extraordinary interest full of
stories of her experiences on the staKe.
On the question of the personal life
of a great opera singer she says in
part:
There Is little1 self-denial in my ab
rtinence. since my tartes are extreme
ly dimple. To those who are fond of
a good table and a kIuhk of wine,
however. It is a hardship. But they
Junt have to give It up. that's all. un

fat and lone all of thlr vitality. Tou
may think It curious f me that I
don't like whisky, I being a r-colch-woman

falling ell fivir the streets or they

him.
"I do all my work In the morning,

that

BRINGS BRIDE HOME
Mrs. Roosevelt, formerly Miss Belle
Willard was warmly welcomed into
the family by its members. In a
short time Mr. Roosevelt will depart
with his bride for Curiayboy. Brazil,
where Mr. Roosevelt, who is an engi
neer has a contract to build a public
market.
"When I get through my work I
am all in. I don't want anybody to
talk to me. even. I go home with my
maid, get to bed. and sleep eight
hours without moving. I don't even
remember next morning that I sang
the nisht before. But I have such
a constitution, that I build right up,
and the minute I open my eyes I am
wide awake. They say that eight
hours is an awful lot of sleep that
five or six is enough. But I some
times have nine. I almost never eat
before goin? to bed. have my din
ner about three o'clock in the after
noon, a nice cup of tea and some
toast at five or half past, and then
nothing until the next morning
Sometimes if I feel very tired when I
come home I take a cup of bouillon
or half a dozen oysters, but that is all
I am too nervously fatigued to eat.
ror suppers, they are the most aw
ful things! I can't imagine anybody
being able to go out and sit and talk
after they get through singing, but
they do. Tou have no Idea of the
People who ask me out to supper. It
gives me indigestion to think of it
The singer must be very careful of
her diet. She must eat very plalB
food and above all very little pastry
and sweets, since these contribute to
ocesuy, which is fatal."

DENVER, July 21. Governor Elias
H. Ammons has written the following
poem as his contribution to the lit
erature on lioosevelt:
TetUly's River of Doubt.
He scoffs at the college professor;
Declares that his strength's on the
wane;
Denounces the grape Juice of Bryan;
Insists that it's not even sane;
He dreams all his friends back in of
fice. And all of his enemies out.
As he dines on a morsel of monkey.
And sails up the River of' Doubt.
He revises the Ten Commandcnts.
And lirlngs them all quite up to
date;
Bewails the mistakes of Old Moses,
And sighs at poor Lincoln's slow
gait; While Washington's blundering tac
tics ,
produce a most terrible pout.
As he swallows a wee bit of monkey
And sails up the River of Doubt.
In dreams he's enraptured the people,
And all of creation subdued;
To the furthermost side of this plan
et There's against him not even a
feud;
While the world's population will
honor.
And angels will how round about.
As he dines on a diet of monkev
And sails up the River of Doubt.
If ever the colonc-l awakens
Krom delight of his beautiful dream
If ever in strenuous fashion
His pledges he tries to redeem.
Perhaps he'll dincover his error;
And. surely, he'll not take the gout.
If he stic ks to a diet of monkey
And sails up the River of Doubt.

Mr. Manufacturer, half of your
battle is won when you have a
roused the interest of the local
dealer.
You do this the minute your
advertisement appears in the
newspaper the dealer reads.
He not only sees it but he
knows the customers of his store
will see it.
He realizes that he is going to have a
call for your goods and acts accordingly.
All advertising has merit, but the ad
vertising that is going to produce direct
sales is the advertising that appears in the
daily newspapers.
From It!
