Entered as second class matter at the post of fice at Central Point, Oregon, May i, 1906, accord ing to an Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. her in Statuary Hall at the United States capitol in Washington, D. C. Miss Willard's statue is the only statue of a woman found in that famous hall. This is what francis E. Willard thought about socialism. It is from her address at the National Convention of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union at Buffalo, in 1897: i.OOK about you; the products of labor are on every hand; you could not maintain for a moment a well-ordered life without them; every object in your room has in it. for discerning eyes, the marljgof ingenious tools and the pres sure of labor’s hands. But is it not the crudest injustice for the wealthy, whose lives are surrounded and embel lished by labor’s work, to have a super abundance of the money which repre sents the aggregate o f labor in any co untry, while the laborer himself is kept so steady at work that he has no time to acquire the education and refine ments of life that would make him and his fam!ly agreeable companions to the rich and cultured? The reason why I am a Socialist comes in right here. I would take, not by force, but by the slow process of lawful acquisition through better legislation, as the out come of a wiser ballot in the hands of men and women, the entire plant that we call civilization, all that has been achieved on this continent in fourhun- dred years since Columbus wended his way hither, and make it the common property of all the people, requiring all to work enough with their hands to give them the finest physical develop ment, but not to become burdensome in any case, and permitting all to share alike the advantages of education and refinement, i believe this to be per fectly practical, indeed, that any otner method is simply a relic of barbarism. 1 believe that competition is doomed. The trust, whose single object is to abolish competition, has proved that we Bre better without than with it, ami the moment corporations control the supply of any product, they combine. What the Socialist desires is that the corporation of humanity should control all production. Beloved comrades, this is the frictionless way; it is the higher way; it eliminates the motives for u selfish life; it enacts into our every-day living the ethics of Christ’s gospel. Nothing else w ill do it; nothing else can bring the glad day of universal brotherhood. l>h, that I were young again, ami it would have my life! it is God's way out o f the wilderness and into the promised land. It is the very marrow of Christ's gospel. It is Christanity applied. It is the easiest thing in the world to be dissatisfied. Anyone can do it, as the phrase goes, without thinking. But those who really think must agree with Amiel, the philosopher.

A Creed Let me be a little kinder, Let me be a little blinder To the faults of those about me, Let me praise a little more; Let me be, when I am weary, Just a little bit more cheery, Let me serve a little better Those that I am striving for. Let me be a little braver When temptation bids me waver. Let me strive a little harder To be all that 1 should be: Let me be a little meeker With the brother that is weaker, Let me think more of my neighbor And a little less of me. Let me be a little sweeter. Make my life a bit completer. By doing what I should do Every minute of the day; Let me toil, without complaining, Not a humble task disdaining; Let me face the summons calmly When Death beckons me away.
