HACK TO MAY. I went tack to May today Though the clouds were hang ing pray, And the chilly air shut down Like a hhudow over the town. I went back to May to dream May day with iu olden gleam. And furget In that dear light Creeping rnlet and chilly night. Outide my w indow all the folk Were wrapped in fur and rub ber cloak; Down where I went In dreams aftray We drested in gossamer of May. The louder rang the wind and rain. The sweeter to my windowpane Came visions of that ferny dell Where beauty's shuttles weave their spell. I went back to May today, And laughed at weather chill and gray. When nymphs, by Attic shep herds led. Brought me the rose of spring instead. Selected. Bona fide economy, public and pri vate Is always commendable but to a large extent the pres Th Economy ent economy ware Craae. which has swept the whole country In stead of being a good thing has been a bad thing. There are people In af fluent circumstances who have re frained from making purchases or from doing things they could well af ford for no other reason than because they have caught the economy bug which is in the air. Here and there public work of various sorts Is be . Ing put off when it Is actually need ed. Such things keep men out of em ployment and hurt business In all lines. Furthermore it Is often poor business policy because work may be done cheaper during slack times than during the rush that Is certain to fol low. This Is do disparagement of those who believe in a policy of econ omy. The Idea of economy la good medicine but if you take too large a lump at one time it may lodge in the throat and choke the patient News from Salem shows that In the house yesterday Messrs Hinkle and Stanfield voted against Making Their the bill to provide for Records, registering lobbylsta Representative Rltner voted for the bill.

It In hard to understand how there can be any Just opposition tc such a law. Why rhould any member of the Uma tilla county delegation vote against such a measure? It Is very plain from sentiment expressed here and elsewhere over the Plate that the sports They Are men are unitedly against In Eartuxt. abolishing the fish and game commission and against the use of the fish and game money for general state purposes. The sportsmen feel that If the present law is mangled as contemplated the handling of fish and game affairs will be thrown directly into politics; the propogatlon and protection work will become Inefficient and the results In general will be bad for the sport an 1 the public Interest. The sportsmen feel keenly upon the subject and they are aroused as never before. It is a sentiment which the legislature will do well to take notice of unless they wish to see the referendum Invoked upon their action. When Diaz established his dictator thip in Mexico tha lands were to a large extent in th? Hie Mexican hands of the com- I-aml Problem, mon people. Under the beneficial regime of Jaurez, following the downfall of Maxmilllan, a real democracy prevail ed and agriculture and education flourished. But the land was not deeded as In thla country. On the other hand titles were guaranteed by a con stitutional provision that possession and cultivation of the land should give ownership. The settler paid taxes on their land and tax receipts were considered valid as evidence of proprietorship. When Diaz came Into power the majority of farmers were driven from their holdings. The procedure was this. A deal would be made whereby for a consideration DIas would agree to give a wealthy aristocrat an Im mense tract of land, sometimes mil lions of acres. Agents would then be sent among the people to be deposed and they would demand . that the farmers show a different form of title from what they possessed. When they could not do so they were order ed from their homes. This was done even though people had lived upon and tilled land for many years. In numerous Instances the small land holders showed resistance. But this was anticipated. Whenever a district was to be taken Diaz would send some 10,000 or 15,000 soldiers quickly on the heels of the agents. The people, men, women and chil dren, would be literally massacred wholesale. There were cases where the slaughter would last for three or four days at a time and the dead would number many thousands. Even those who showed no fight were put to death. That was the method whereby many of the largest estates In Mexico were created. Is It any wonder that the real revolutionists in Mexico make the division of the land their battle cry. Is it any wonder that private property In land In Mexico Is regard ed differently from what It Is In this country? The land question Is at the bottom of the whole thing In Mexico. It may be t-tkrn ns a fact that the pres ent trouble between Oarrnnxa and Villa Is based in someway upon how far IMh a nfiscHtion of e-tatcs shall go. Hue side, it in.iy he Villa or It may be Carransa wishes to make pretty thorough Job of it. while the landholders and aristocrats are play Ins to the other ride so as to save themselves if they can. Those fellows are solving a real human problem down there and it is not a mere strlfo to see who will get office. That is v hy It Is so hard for conditions to become settled. ' SLOGANS OF SUCCESS Remember, the "elevator to the tcp" always makes a RETURN trip. It carries some people up and it carries some people DOWN. In advancing toward SUCCESS many lose their way by losing sight of the GOAL. The Highway of Success also has its "traffic rules." One is "KEEP TO THE RIGHT," another Is "KEEP MOVING." It's all right t "come In on the tide.- but look out for the UNDER TOW! The things that "he who runs may read'' sometimes are so aimed that "he who reads may run."

THE WINTER TIME I love the lordly winter time; I love the cold, clear eky. That make the heel ring on the road which wends the light-heart wayl The keen bright day, the winter day, that tinglea on the face. And makes the world we live In seem . a very Jolly place; I love the lordly winter time the winter dawn for me, With all the eastern horizon a gorg- ous pageantry; The sparkle of the frozen dew, the glory on the hill, The litheness of the step that swings unto the light-heart will! I love the lordly winter time the leaping of the blood. The reawakened energy that pours its potent flood: The high uplifting atmosphere, the resonance and ring. Of footsteps on the frozen road, with fettle stride and swing I love the lordly winter time the strength Its grip, its verve. The currents that it sends to feed the muscles and the nerve: Its clear, blue skies. Its fine bright days, the glory of its light. The -beauty of Its myriad stars that pave the floor of night! I love the lordly winter tim -the song : It sings to me la of a traveler on the road that leads to health and glee What goblets of divine ozone, what wonder of its days. And, oh, the sunburst flashing there amid its twilight rays! THE THOUSANDTH MAN (By Rudyard Kipling.) One man In a thousand, Solomon says, , Will stick more close than a brother.

Mr. Stelwer ulso de clared It an Imposition to ask the sheriff to enforce the gumo laws, be cause of his already strenuous duties which would be multiplied when the prohibition law goes Into effort. "The sheriffs cannot enforce the game laws," he said, "and these laws will go unenforced unless there are spe cial officers to look after them." No nunlen to Taxpayers. District Warden Averlll produced figures to show that far from being a burden upon the taxpayers the pres ent game system actually results in gain to the state. Inasmuch as the sportsmen pay all costs of the fUh and game departments, the only costs left to the state Included those of prose cuting offenders who could not pay the costs, the feeding of prisoners who took Jail sentences and the postage necessary In sending out game li censes. Figures in the records, he Bald, showed that the costs of prose cutions for violations of the game laws during 1)14, which the state had to pay, amounted to $32.40. The cost of feeding offenders who took Jail sentences was $72 and the cost of postage In sending out licenses ap proximately $25, making a total cost of $129 40. The fines paid In Uma tllta county In 1914 for game viola t'ons totaled $S50, half of which went to the county, thus giving the county u net profit of $296.60. During the year 1914, he said, there were 2902 anglers licenses Is sued In this county, 1999 hunters' li censes and 355 combination licenses, making a total of 5256 licenses which yielded $5611. During the year be fore the commission system went Into effect, he said, the total revenue in this county from licenses was about $1100. In spite of this increase In the number of hunters and anglers. the testimony of prominent sports men last evening was to the effect that the fishing and hunting now is 100 per cent better than four or five years ago. The sportsmen were considerably Incensed at the story written by the press agent of one of the legislators which was printed In a local paper last evening. 3 Is g 3 rj A. ? 5:3 LAD OR Some 25 or 30 Droswu iu the lot incliuling the' most worn shades" of Crepo-de-Chinps, Poplins, Taffetas, Crepe Meteor and Char mouse.
