ASI'IIIINO WOM.tX
Bald Mnry, In hex Moated Orange:, "Tile life I lead has got my
goat; 1 surely suffer for a i'Iihiik, and so inethlnks I'll have to
voto. J'm tired of holdiK on my knees Angora rats and dogs,
I wist; I'm tired of pink and yellow tens, I'm tired of playing bridge
and wlilHt. I'm tired of rending at the chilis long papers that I got
by role; I'm llnd of (ironing will) dubs, and no methlnks I'll have
to vote. My liiiKbnnd'fl lite Is picturesque, no trace of onnul ran
he know; he merely labors at his desk, and digs up wealth for mo
to blow. When be was but. a humble elerk, and drew the slimmest
sort of pay, I used to stay at homo and work, and then I sang the
livelong day. Hut when we prospered, and the dough came roll
ing In, I turned work down; I hired me servants, and would go to
every Jnmboreo In town. I haven't washed a dish In years, or stew
ed a prune, or swept a floor, and I am tlrod and wet with tears,
and my poor heart is sad and sore. An Idle woman's life Is vain,
her thoiiKhts are oft too fierce to quote; my futile days give me a
pain and so methlnks I'll havo to vote."

TEST OF THE OREGON SYSTEM
The Oregon system of direct legislation should be wiped out
of existence if forged and fictitious names on referendum and
initiative petitions are held by the courts to serve the intent
of the law. In the University case thore Is no question as to the
character of the potitions four-fifths of them being fraudu
lent, according to undisputed cvidenco introduced at the trial
so far. Also, in nearly every case the affidavits of the circulat
ors were false or irregular.
If this kind of work is in harmony with the Oregon system,
then the system is wrong and the people of the state should re
pudiate it as quickly ns possiblo. If it is an atiuse of the system
then the men responsible for it should bo sont to prison, and the
petitions thrown out of the secretary of state's office. An hon
est man can reach no other conclusion.
RECALL OF THE JUDGES
The Harney County News, in discussing the proposed recall
of Judge Coke, of this district, says:
"If wo are not big enough to keep the recall from the judges
then men largo enough for the bench will not be-found.
"No mattor how just'y tho law may be administered, the de
feated element will think it had a "rough deal" and start agita
tion. This olemont may havo men associated with it that are
more or less influential and above the average degree of intel
ligence, yet prejudiced and piquod because of failure in a cause
they feel they should win, and finding a ready second and sup
port in a lower, illiterate and vioious following, whose morbid
thoughts and inclinations are to bring down the "high and
mighty," as they term them, there is but little effort; generally,
necossary to obtain the petition for recall.
"This condition prevailing and the recall invoked too freely,
it will bo difficult to got the best men for the position, for,
though tho recall may fail and tho judsje bo vindicated, the stig
ma is not relished by men of strong character and broad educa
tion, r.nd they will hold abovo placing themselves in a position
for such a posabiility.
"Tradition teaches us that true justioe is little understood
in common, and that littlo effort is required to create more or
less dissatisfaction.
"In bolittlinj and deriding the hall of jnstico, tho attack 'is
undermining, and toppling over tho highest, most sacred func
tion within tho provinco of man for the safeguarding of oivilisa
tion and rightcousneess; it is as far as the finite being can go;
without it chaos '111111 'might makes rijhf would rolgn supreme.
"Tho News is not a oohvert to judicial recall yet.''
Thoso "prominent" citinons of Lincoln Centre, Kansas, who
tarred and feathered a defenseless girl, should not be sent to
prison. Rathor it would be moro in keoping with their crime to
take them to tho publio squnro, strip off thoir clothes, spread a
good thick cont of tar over thoir bodies and apply a match to it,
The spectacle they would present might havo the effect of modi
fying, to some extent, tho Kansas conception of chivalry.
Rushing work through the Malheur canyon on the Oregon
Eastorn railroad lhat's what the dispatches from Eastern
Oregon say. This cross-stato road will intorsect tho main line
of tho Southern Pacific at Eugcno and terminate at Coos Bay.
Today's dispataches tell of the edict of the Chicago hair
dressers to tho effect tint all ruts, puffs and false hair must go,
The windy city used to bo content with setting the fashion in
divorce decrees.
Hotty Green is seventy years old and has about a million
dollars for every year sho has lived. In spite of her enormous
business interests we have her word for it that she is "still
young and happy."

Heart to Heart
o Talks.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
IF I WE A BOY.
If I were a boy again I would not
choose to he reared under different
parents or under different Influences,
but
' If I were a boy again I would do
lot of things 1 did not do and leave
undone some of the things 1 did do.
If 1 were a boy again 1 would go
wimtnlnic and bunting Just as I did
and ofleuer If 1 could. X would play
as hard and as often ns I could In the
open air and build me a strong and
supple body.
Jf-
If I were it boy again I wonld read
mora books and better books than 1
did read, and 1 would thus find out
bow the best and most successful men
got on la the world.
If-
. If t were a boy again I would be a.
much ns possible with persons Alder
than myself. I would try to get from
personal contact all the graces and
the manners of such persons and lenrn
from their own lips the story of their
lives.
If-
If I were a boy again I would not
resent my mother's little scoldings,
knowing that 1 well deserved thorn,
nor scorn to take the good advice of
my father. Nor would I think myself
wiser than both my parents ord the
preacher thrown in.
If-
If I were 8 boy again I would go to
Sunday school, whether I wns told to
go or not. lint I would realize, the
Importance In my education of real
knowledge of tho Bible.
If-
If I were a boy again I would dream
the drenms of boyhood and then
some. And no doubt when 1 was par
ticularly disappointed with the world
1 should draam the dream ot being a
lawless plrnto of the high sens, with
a price upon my bead and tho skull
and crussbones nt tho peak. But
If I were n boy again 1 would most
ly dream of the day when I should
grow tip to be a good and useful mnn.
If I were n boy again
Hut, deary me! It has been so long
ago. And should I have the chance
to do nnd dream I might be no better
boy than I was or worse.

A song lay silent In my pen,
Whero yesterday I found it,
niKht cosy In Its gloomy den, .
With a melody wrapped round "'U,
ThriuiKh all the years 'twas waiting
so
To hear the sumnions of that mln
uto. I thoiiKht I loved the pen: hut no!
It was the snug within It.
Today my Indy sang to me..
My Kong In sweetest fashion,
rnwrapped It from tho melody
In tli" radiance of Its passion,
As one might Bee it hlnssotn grow
Yet never see the sun abovo It,
1 thought 1 loved the song, but no!
ll was her singing of It.

Here's a pur.ilo that puzzles every
body: Take tho number of your liv
ing brothers, double the amount, add
to It the number of your living sis
ters, multiply tho result by ten, add
the number of deaths by brothers and
subtract 150 from the result. The
right figure will be the number of
deaths, tho mlildlo will bo the num
ber nf living sisters and the left will
show tho number of living brothers.
Try It nnd see. '
The world Is full of women who
ran amuse, the ordinary mnn. They
ran sing, dance or recite to him;
enn palirt, write or decorate In a
manner most plcnsing but the poor
man often goes hogging for a woman
who csu sew on buttons or mend his
clothes; who ran cook his food with
economy and flavor 11 to his taste.
