HoweviT dark and dreary the day,
The skies however bleak and gray,
All surface showing scorning, '
I like to hear my neighbor say.
As I go walking on my way,
"Good morning, sir, good morning!".
It but confirms a notion glad,
That I, these many years have had,
That life Is how we take It.
A morning may.be goodor bad,
It may be frolicsome or Bad,
According as wo make It.
THE LABOR PROBLEM
The head of a great British firm of shipbuilders and steam
ship operators, Sir 0. Furness, has made a proposal to his em
ployes that is truly extraordinary. He and his associates and
stockholders are weary of industrial strife of strikes, threats,
interruptions and disturbances, losses due to them, and the bit
terness generated and inform the workingmen that unless the
whole situation is radically changed, and peace assured in his
yards and shops, the shops will be closed, Sir .0. Furness asks
that a council be formed to decide all disputes and that the em-,
ployes bind themselves to await arbitration and abide by-the
awards of the arbitrators.
This failing he proposes a choice of two alternatives. Let
the employes adopt a profit-sharing scheme and be admitted as
partners into the great enterprise, or, if that be deemed inexpe
dient, let them, with the aid of their unions and union funds, buy
out the works at a fair and reasonable price, to be fixed by com
petent assessors, and run them co-operatively.
In an editorial comment on the foregoing,' the Chicago Record-Herald
says the conference at which these remarkable pro
posals were made was certainly very unique. The employes,
according to the opinion of that paper, will doubtless be, moved
to give serious consideration to the alternatives before them.
So frank and enlightened an attitude on the part of the firm
should meet with an equally frank and intelligent response-from
the employes, who also need peace and stability in the industry
and who cannot be supposed to prefer strikes and trouble for
their own .sake.
It is not likely that the buying out alternative will be chosen,
though several economists, noting the growth and strength of
trade unions, have advocated the purchase of works and their
co-operative management, and think this the "coming policy."
It is a fact, too, that in backward Russia the "articl," a combina
tion of workers who contract to do all manner of jobs, small
and big, is a recognized institution and a notable Success. Co
operation flourishes in Croat Britain, but the voting of union
funds to employes desirous of embarking in business is not one
of the usual and familiar ways of promoting co-operation.
but the "chief ruler of the people."There's no dieting that the
present occupant of the office is "chief ruler" all right, but, un
less we're wrongly informed, he draws his wages regularly, and
that seems to make a noise like a "hired man." a
No battleships have been ordered to Lugfnif? Switzerland, to
demand why a mob took a statue or George Washington from its
pedestal and chucked it into the lake, but all the same we'd like
to know what grievance they had against our George.

According to the man who says he stole the Standard Oil
letters, Hearst has not made public the worst of them. This looks
like a deliberate attempt to increase insomnia in senatorial cir
cles.
Maybe Russia preserved the peace of Europe, as is claimed,
but it is moftj likely that it was the money czars, as no great war
can be fought if they refused to put up the coin needed.
ASTORIA HIGH SCHOOL
FOOTBALL TEAM HAS
ARRIVED IN EUGENE
Astoria's high school football
team came down this afternoon from
Portland, where they defeated the
Portland -Academy aggregation to
the score of 11 to 4. They will spend
the rest of the week here until Fri
day, when they meet the local high
school team.
Astoria has an exceptionally
strong team this year, especially In
weight, (about 1G5; that of Eugene,
155), and have been spoken or as
nulte fast. If Eugene wins the game,
It will not be because of weight, it
will not be because of veteran play
ers for she has practically a new
team, It will not be of superior
coaching, but It will depend almost
wholly upon the snap and speed and
sheer strength. Thus far the team
has sjiown considerable strength, but
It lias not as much snap and life as
It should have. Coach Hug, however,
is putting a week of severe practice
to bring this point up to its highest
efficiency.
Tho Astoria tenm will practice
enrih. afternoon on Klncald field
whilo here.
Knlcm Kxciirslon Kate.
Tho one-faro rate ($2.15), Is now
practically assured, yet It would be
appreciated If the business men and
others who Intend to go on this ex
cursion would give their names to
any high Bchool student, who will
urn them over to the committee.
The editor of the San Jose (Calif.) Times complains that the
phonograph is killing American enthusiasm, because of its use
in political campaigns. Ever notice, he says, that a phonograph
campaign orator never stops to take a drink of water or wipe off
his chin, while engaged in the loud pursuit of disseminating
knowledge, via the popular peace disturbers? Another little
thing we lose is tho withering glance of scorn, the windmill ges
tures, the -tortuous posings and withal the gladsome sight of
about fifty more or less handsome honorary vice presidents as a
background to the speaker.
"Tho Fruit Grower," of St. Joseph, Mo., has just issued
a Homesoekers' Edition, which contains an extended report from
all the fruit-growing districts of the West, and no one state re
ceives as.much attention as'Oregon. There is page after page of
illustration and text, and evory part of the state is given promi
nence. In fact, Oregon probably gejs more attention than any
two states. This is true because the state is better organised,
doing better advertising, has more good pictures, and has
learned how to present its resources and attractions better than
an other state in the Union.
Taft spoke in seventeen towns a week ago, and yet there are
those who will toll you that the presidential campaign is slow
and pokynd devoid of that stronnosity whfli has characterized
other presidential campions. Oh top of this information comes
the news that Bryan delivered thirty political addresses irQ'tie
day, thus going Mr. Taft sa cral bolter. Wo are Qnvinccd by
the foregoing that there is plenty of life in the campaign, but you
must go to the righplacto got the benefit of it.

The leader of the quartette Is For
rest Dabney Carr, the eminent basso
cantante, late of the Maurice Grau
grand opera company, and he 1b
well known throughout the United
States as an artist of exceptional
ability. Florence Gertrude Smith
has charmed audiences In almost ev
ery city of over 10,000 people by
her beautiful soprano voice. She,
like Mr. Carr, has hud wide exper
ience In opera. Karl J. Pfouts is one
of the most talked of violinists of
Now York city today. Ho has stud
ied undir Leopold Kramer of Chi
cago, and Max llendrlx and Michael
Haulier of New York. Kdwln M.
Sltom-rt, the fourth of the company
la well known to American lovers of
music, having played In many trans
coin Inuntat tours.
The Artist Trio, appearing No
vember 2 7, Is one of especial merit,
Including Mary Agnes Doyle, whose
"Mr. Holey" skolches nre very tak
ing: Flora McGIII, contralto and
pianist, soloist In one of the leading
churches In Chicago; and Blanche
Deerlng, master of the violin and
piano. The program presented by
the trio of artists Is unusual, includ
ing readings, violin solos, piano so
los and duets and contralto solos
with violin obligates.
"Acres of Diamonds" the lecture
that Russell Conwell will deliver
Here on January has been delivered
twenty-six hundred times In twenty-
nine yenrs. Conwell is tho head xt
Temple university, a great night
school for the poorer people of Phila
delphia; he Is a founder and promo
ter of hospitals.
Alton Packard, here' March 25, Is
first of all a cartoonist, but he Is
versatile, and gives all evening's en
tertainment full of fun-making and
music, and knows when, to stop.
During the Easter vacation pe
riod the Iowa t'olloge Glee Club of
Grlnnell will come to this college
town to win honors away from the
Oregon glee. This Is a well trained
organization and will render music
well worth tho hearing.
Governor t Folk, being the best
known to the people of Eugene, will
probably be one of tho best attrac
tions of the voter's courso. and
May 15 will be looked forward to
with much Interest. "Soldiers of
Peace," will be his theme.
The Iliiceel entertainment course
Is being promoted by the young poo
plea' organization -vslx of the Eu
geiie churches. wlthHhe purpose of
bringing in some first class enter
tainments. It Is the Intention to con
tinue the course from year to year If
It is sufficiently patronized.

Garman & Hemenay's Big
Store Burned, Entailing
Loss of $40,000
Last night about 9, o'clock flames
were discovered Issuing from-the big
store of Garman & Hemenway at Cot
tage Grove and before they could be
extinguished the establishment was
in ruins.
People at the hotel across the
street from the store first noticed
the flames as they were bursting out
through the front of the building.
The alarm was given and the volun
teer fire department responded In j
quick order. The firemen, assisted J
by hundreds of citizens, did all they!
could to stay the blaze, but they
were unsuccessful. Practically the
entire stock of goods, occupying
both floors of the building, was !
ruined. The interior of the building!
was gutted, nothing Sut the bare
brick walls standing.
Oliver Veatch Is the owner of the j
building, which was erected at a i
cost of over $10,000. There was!
little insurance on the structure. The j
loss to the 'stock is estimated all the I
way from $40,000 to $50,000,1
with but $30,000 Insurance.
