Life's sunbeams do not fall
From a shadow In the heart;
They are part of all the Joy
of which you are a part:
And the storms will never
bring them, nor the wor
ry and the care
The sunbeams only glimmer
when the heart of life i9
fair.
The morning does not glow
Till the clouds have passed
away.
And there's so much love to
know
Why go worrying of the day?
All the sparkle and the sun are
' within the soul that sings,
And the sunny side of life is a
world of endless Spring.
The rainbow doesn't sparkle
When the rain is falling down:
And no one warms their trou

frown.
It's a sunbeam of right living
and the golden love of
truth
That makes loving and forgiv
ing such a golden grace
of youth.

Then it might be well
to make a footnote to the ef
fect that in America there is
nothing to keep a man from
being a farmer and a gentle
man at one and the same time.
But why bother "Mother

could find other books more in

FOR A GREATER NAVY H
THE HOUSE DIVIDED
AGAINST ITSELF
EP0RTS from Washing
ton show that the land
grant bill will soon be up
for consideration in the house.
The departments of the inter
ior and of agriculture have
passed upon the measure and
apparently the bill will go be
fore the house with provisions
giving the state school fund 20
per cent of the proceeds from
land sales, the land grant
counties for roads 30 per cent,
the reclamation fund 40 per
cent and the federal govern
ment 10 per cent.
It would be more equitable
to give the irreducible school
fund 40 per cent and the recla
mation fund 20 per cent instead
of 40. However, if Oregon
does not fare as well as she
should the blame will be large
ly upon our own people. Two
members of the Oregon delega
tion seem to be doing nothing
to obtain 40 per cent for
schools. They had a different
plan entirely for disposing of
the land.
The governor of Oregon,
though expressly invited by the
house committee on public
lands to make recommendati
ons, failed to take any step to
help the cause along.
The newspapers and com
mercial organizations of the
state have not done what they
should to obtain grant land
money for the school fund. The
only agitation upon the sub
ject .involving millions of dol
lars for Oregon, has been by
several independent papers,
including the East Oregonian.
In a cause so plainly meri
torious why lias it been so dif
ficult to enlist united support
in this state?
THE WAY THE FARMER
RIDES
"tt T is now possible to get a
II line on the effects of the
preparedness campaign
on the fortunes of the navy.
The naval appropriation
bill as agreed upon by a sub
committee of the house carries ss
$217,652,174 against $149,-'g
656,865 appropriated for the
current fiscal year. This in
crease of $68,000,000 or 45!
per cent, is largely given over j
to an increase in new construe-
tion and navy personnel. Two
super-dreadnoughts, two bat-
tie cruisers, fifteen destroyers,
thirty submarines, three scout
cruisers and 13,500 additional
men these are the main fea
tures of the new constructive
programme, which is substan
tially in accord with the navy
department s five year plan.
The people would have ap
proved even more money for
the navy. There may be room
for differences of opinion over j
the size of the army. That we
should have a much more pow
erful navy than we have is
scarcely to be questioned.
WILSON AND
GRANT
(From the Journal.)
In one of his Portland addresses.
Senator Burton said:
The one thing more obvious than
any other in all the conrncting cur
rent of events is that the present Igno
ble status of the United States in rela
tion to other countries has been
brought about by the halting, the va
cillation and the hesitancy of the pres
ent administration "
What would Senator Burton h:ve3i
done that President Wilson has not
done?
What means would he have used to
save us from what he terms "our i.i
noble status?"
Since, with the Roosevelts and Roots
and other war makers, he would have
used "deeds" Instead of "words."
would Senator Burton have placed
the army on a war footing and sen
the navy over the Atlantic to make
a demonstration in force? What eb-e
could he have done, since he calls 'he
Wilson foreign policy "ignoble" and
halting?"
In thus condemning President Wil
son's foreign policy, Senator Burton
and his brother war makers condemn
President Grant's foreign poicy. Tue
Vlrglniui affair occurred during the
Urant administration.
October 31. 1x73, the Virginius. in
American merchantman, flying 'he
American flag, was captured near Ja
maica by the Spanish gunboat Tor
nado, and taken to Santiago de Cubi.
President Grant demanded the re
lease of the vessel and her crew. Eight
days later, on November 7th. Joseph
Fry. the captain, and 3 members of
ih" American crew were lined up
against a wall and shot by the Span
ish authorities. The next day. 12 of

Another Remarkable Demonstration of
Buick Speed, Power, Endurance and Reliability
The extraordinary time made by the Buick Six up the long,
hard grades, over rough mountain passes, fording streams and
racing over miles of desolate desert in its intercity dash was no
surprise to us. We knew that the Buick valve-in-head motor
was capable of driving the car at a continued speed of more
than sixty miles per hour when called upon. We also knew
that the Buick chassis, notwithstanding the continued heary
hammering over rough roads at unusual speed, would be in
the same perfect condition at the finish as at the start. By
this remarkable performance we have demonstrated to the
public the superiority of Buick construction.
Not a Mishap on the Entire Sensational Run
proving perfect ignition, perfect carburetion, perfect lubrication, perfect cooling system, perfect construction and design.

News of this action caused intense
excitement throughout the United
States. Public meetings were held
and the bloody outrage denounced.
President Grant was wildly urged to
make war on Spain.

that his orders were delivered to Span

There is a very close analogy be-
