1 INDEPENDENCE.
;
We strut when others may behold
And vainly boast that we are free; 1
We cling to doctrines that are old -
And still to custom crook the knee;
' . We have the wish to earn applause,'
To claim the honors of the great
But let the superstitions cause
Us still to weakly hesitate.
.' 4" We speak with unconcealed, contempt
Of those who serve exacting kings;
1 And, fancying ourselves exempt
From all the hardships serfdom brings,
f , We stagger slowly down the years,
Too deaf to hear, too blind to see
The prey of foolish doubts and fears
That keep us chained to slavery. '

Eugene realty is advancing in price steadily. Yesterday a
vacant business lot with 75 feet frontage sold for $18,00.0, and
a few days before an 18-foot front two-story building brought
$15,000. Only a few months before the same property sold for
about $6000, and not more than $2000 had been expended on
improvements in the interval. This upward tendency is due to
the fact that it is generally realized that Eugene is now but fairly
entering upon its era of progress, big building operations now
assured for 1909'far exceeding the great record of the year now
closing. The vast territory tributary to the city is capable,
, with proper development, of supporting a prosperous city of at
least 25,000 population, while the building of the Natron exten-
sion across the mountains, which will no doubt be the first new
line of importance constructed by the Harriman interests in the
; West, will of itself be sufficient to make Eugene an interior city
of the first-class importance. These facts are realized by the
shrewdest business men of the city, as well as outside invesotrs,
who have looked into the situation, and this explains the steady
advance in values that is daty reflected in the realty transfers,
According to the official census reports there are at the
present time in the United States 13,000,000 men available for
militarv duty." That means that in case of war with a foreign
country this great number of stalwart specimens of American
manhood can be armed and equipped ana seni imo me nem m
defend our homes and country against the invsaion of a hostile
army. It also means that they are at the present time available
for the purpose of making this the greatest commercial nation
on the face of the earth,. which is much more important tnan re
garding the splendid showing from a military standpoint.
Judge Landis still has the fine habit he fined the Illinois
Central Railroad $100 and costs in each of seven cases for vio
lating the 2 8 -hour stock law. That gives the railroad magnates
the laugh on Rockefeller, eh?
Missouri's supreme court must have figured that it was bet
ter to fix a fine that could be collected on the triple-headed
Standard Oil bunch in the state when it fined each of them $50,-000.

Still, the car celling of Castro's European letters of credit
by the bank of Venezuela will not inconvenience him much, as it
is understood that he carried a few millions in coin in his bag
gage. '
This judge in New jersey who sentenced a man to live with
his wife and be patient until she learned to cook must b'e igno
rant of the law which forbids cruel and inhuman punishment.
Denmark's royal tombs having been burglarized, doctors
may expect quotations for the skeleton of Hamlet from under
ground bone dealers,
Congress might try sending a round robin to the' White
House, suggesting that the special message habit be sworn off.
Anyway, Sam Gompers can always remember that he got the
longest sentence, even if he does insist that Wright was wrong.
