PHOXE 96 ALBANY, OREGON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 17 A GREAT EXPERIMENT There's something In my breast mist aing, A nightengale all wild of note, A wondrous something sweet of throat, A harp of heavenly tone and string. Though storm and tempest loud assail, And fence my way with frowning rack, As if to crush me, turn me back With icy fist and sheeted hail; Though deserts ashy, drear and dread Lie in the way my feet must take, Without a spring my thrist to slake And burning suns best on my head; Still must I sing, though mournfully The pensive numbers come and go. The wistful measures form and flow, The echoing, cosmic grief of me. , . , , . r i j f ' High on my western coast to feel Hopeless of having the cost of living lowered for them ( Xhe kiM of wind, from octmn blowni by government action or natural economic processes, the, To match their music tune for tone, railroad brotherhoods are undertaking to lower it for them-' And bid their longing "round me steal selves.

Even that criticism is friendly. It is recognized that, whether they succeed or fail, the re sults of the experiment will make s useful and valuable lesson. There is nothing new in organizing consumers that is, forming co-operative associations to buy commodities at a lower price, ft has been done widely in England, and to some extent in this country. It should work pretty well in the matter of food, if the railroad men are able to enlist the co-operation of the organized farmers, as they appear to be doing. The profits of middlemen and speculators will be squeezed out ' . The brotherhoods, however, plan also to do consider able producing and selling themselves. That is a new busi ness tor them, and a large undertaking. One branch of their organization has already got hold of some knitting and un derwear olants. a elove factory and a tubing concern, and they propose to extend this sort of enterprise until most of within the Kail of Harps we meet, the characteristic articles needed by railroad men. can be mingle burning .strain with produced within their owa organization and sold to them train, ... at cost, Eventually the promoters want to sell factory pro- !

Certainly they should have the good wishes of every fair-minded citizen. o- Or lying lone in Dircc's Cove, Where leaps the god-born crystal flood, A living tide of martyr's blood, To tuna my lyre with each wave. For there be songs which none have sung. And there be loves none ever guess ed, Great conflagrations of the breast, Which melt to melody the tongue. Ye are my mates ye birds that wake, You are my fellows. Oh, ye winds! The upleap of the noblest minds With bold and rightful hand I Uke. Dark peoples of the burning isles, I hale with joy each note you fling, I share in every song you sing, And waft you rosea for your smiles. Comment of the State Press Snappy Gleanings from the Press or the Valley Pork Barrel Methods If the government owned the rail reads, it would provide somrmoney for extentions as it has provided money for riven and harbors in the past by the porkbarrel method. The stales which could mutter the molt votes in ConKresi would get the most pork, although those which have the fewest votes are in greatest need of railroad. Oregon, with its three votes in the house, would Hive small chance against slates which have twenty, thirty or fourty votes. Gov ernment ownership would afford little prospect that the Natron cut-off or the Stnihom roads would be built or that other new roads would open up the great vacant spaces of eastrn Oregon.

WHY TEMPT THE BURGLAR? The chief of police of the little city was making his an nual report to the mayor. Among other things he said: "I wish, I might draw the attention of citizens to the necessity of finding a more secure place than out-of-the-way places for leaving liberty bonds and other valuables when they are absent from home. We had one burglary job alone where there were $3,600 worth of liberty bonds stolen this year." There is no use trying to deceive the burglar by putting the bonds under the mattress or in the piano. He knows all about the cracked teapot and the old trunk and the sewing-basket and the corner of the library rug. That is his job. He knows more "cut-of-the-way places" than any honest citizen does. Moreover, at the nice little stone bank, fireproof and burglar-proof and supported with the strong stockholders' liability laws, the family who lost $3,600 by theft could have kept the liberty bonds and insurance papers and everything else safe for about $Z a year.
