Here are some of his thoughts: j Nae man can tether time or tide. But pleasures are like poppies spread, ( You seize the flower, its J)loom is shed; Or, like the snow fall in the river, !A mement white, then melts forever. I 0 wad some power the giftie gie us. To see oursels as others see us! It wad frae monie a blunder free us, And foolish notion. An atheist's laugh's a poor exchange For Deity offended. 'Oh, life, thou art a galling load, Along a raugh, a weary road, 1 To wretches such as I. ru If nacbody care for me, I I'll care for naebody. But to see her was to love her, Love but her and her forever. The rank is but the guinea's stamp. The man's the gowd for a' that. It's guid to be merry and wise, It's guid to be honest and true. Princes and lords are but the breath of kings. An honest man's the noblest work of God. A DANGEROUS POWER. j The new governor of California j wants fewer offices filled by the peo ple. He wants them appointive, such offices, for instance, as attorney gen eral, superintendent of public instruc tion, and even secretary of state, rail road commissioner and surveyor gen eral. That is giving the executive too much power. It would help to create a worse spoils system than prevails now. Rather than increase the power of the chief executive it should be curtailed and fewer appointments be given him. The argument is used that the geople haven't time to look after sucFT things properly. On the contrary they have plenty of time for necessary things, and it is their busi ness to do it. It is the province of every voter to fill positions demanded for the proper management of the af fairs of state. There are plenty of minor positions that should be filled by appointment, but the principal of fices should be filled by election if it takes a ballot a mile long. The bet ter rule would be to do away with a few of the offices. TRY PnliimhtH harri wheat flour. At tree line you are In need of call and tne leading stores. Ask for it and get see w. A.

The news that the Oregon Electric is to be extended this year is import ant to Albany people, and it is re ceived here with great satisfaction. There was some fear, at one time that the work of extension might be de layed; but the official announcement at this early date makes it clear that work is to be pushed with great vigor. A large force on the line between Albany and Salem will mean a road at a date as early as about August. There are three surveys between Sa lem and Albany. One of them in the hills would require a very expensive tunnel. This will probably be aban doned and a route more easily man aged taken, insuring faster work. An electric line will mean a good deal to Albany and the surrounding country. Wherever these lines oper ate new homes grow up and farms blossom into orchards. Cars stopping at short intervals make the electric line popular. A fact that particularly is gratifying is the quicker time made. Portland should be reached in a little over two hours, Eugene in a little over an hour, Salem m 35 or 40 min-' utcs. Come on, Mr. Hill. ' Wheat $.80, Oats 35c.
