POOR FATHER
Children hush, for father's resting; he is sitting, tired and
sore, with his feet upon the table and his hat upon the floor. He
Is wearied nnd exhausted by the labors of the day; he has talked
. about the tariff since the dawn was cold and gray; he has lost
eight games of checkers, for his luck today was mean, and that
luck wbb still against him, when he bucked the slot machine; so his
norves are tinder tension, and his brow is dark with care, and the
burdens laid upon him seem too great for him to bear. Stop the
clock, for It annoys him; throttle that canary bird; take the baby
i to the cellar, where It's howling won't be heard; you must speak
in whispers, children, for your father's tired and sore, and he seems
, to think the celling is some kind of cuspidor. Oh, he's broken
down and beaten by the long and busy day; he's been silting in the
feedstore on a bale of prairie hay, telling how the hungry grafters
have the country by the throat, how the tariff on dried upples robs
' the poor man of his coat, how this nasty polar rumpus might be
settled, once for all and hlB feet are on the table, and his back
against the wall; let him find his home a quiet and a heart-consol-
lng nest, for the father's worn and weary, and his spirit longs for
rest.

PULL TOGETHER DURING NEXT YEAR
,t
The coming year should be one of great growth and progress
in Eugene, and it will be if the people stick together and boost
good and hard along all lines of endeavor. During the past three
years the foundation has been laid for a splendid city, and its
population has grown from 6000 to above 12,000. Many sub
stantial improvements have been made, streets graded and
paved, and substantial buildings, publio and private, erected in
large numbers. The era of railroad building, steam and elec
tric, seems to have opened, and Eugene's greatest effort at this
time should be to secure the greatest possible benefit from this
movement. We want more suburban electric lines, a steam road
to the coast, and the greatest possible benefit in tHe" operation
of train service over the Natron extension now building across
the mountains to Klamath Falls. These are the things which will
make Eugene a commercial centre of importance, and render
permanent the growth of the past three years.
.', A steady pull, altogehter, for everything which makes for
the general good is what we need, and if a united effort is
made throughout the coming year the results will be greater
than in the past because of the solid foundation that has been
laid.
V
THE DUTY OF CONGRESS
The present congress will have many things to do. The
president's program for internal improvements will be submitted
and cr j siileration will bo given to it. But the question with the
count, y is not so much the amount of legislation, or even the
kind, i s tlio spirit with which that legislation is enacted or de
feated. There is a desire that congress shall become more rep
liiontativo of the people and less cabalistic. The insurgency of
lttt year may have been overdone in spots may have been in
tended for Chautauqua spectacularism, rather than for olid ef
fect, but tho fact remains that it was founded in a correct idea :
the idea of less individual depu tation and more popular expres
sion, The congress just convened will be judged by the country
as much on the influences which appear to dominate it as on
the legislation it passes.

to head off our General O. Washington, but he beat its game and
crossed on the ice. . Now it gets our cruiser Prairie stuck in the

wired President Taft a denial of the rumor that the trainmen ex

even if Thanksgiving is past.
President Taft recommends that the inauguration date be
changed from, March 4 to the last Thursday in April. Good!
That date will suit us vory nicely if we ever get to be president.
