THE WASTREL.
Obco, when I was little, as the sum
mer dark was falling.
Among tli e puryle upland fields I
lost my barefoot rcy;
The road to borne was bidden fast,
and frlEbtful shadows, crawl
ing Along the sky-line, swallowed up
tho last glnd light of day;
And then I seemed to hear you
In- tho twilight, and be near you;
Seemed to bear your dear voice call
ing Through the meadows, calling, call
ing JLnd I followed and I found you,
Flung my tired arms around you,
And rested on the mother-breast, re
turned, tired out, from play.
Down tho yours that followed, tho
I trod strange paths unheed
ing Though I chased tho Jack-o-lan-thorns
of so many maddened
years,
Though I never looked behind roe
whore the bome-llghts were
receding,
Though I never looked enough
ahead to see tho Inn of Fears;
Still I know your heart was near
me,
That your ear was strained to
hear mo,
That your love would need no plead
ing To forglvo me, but was pleading
Of Itself that, in disaster,
I should run to you tho fester
And be euro that I was dearer for
for your'sacrlflco of tears.
pi
Now on life's last summertime tho
long last dusk Is falling,
And I , who trod one way so long,
can treail no other way
Until at death's dim crossroads I
watch, hesitate, the crawling
Night passages that mazo mo with
tbo ultlmato dismay,
Then when Death and Doubt shall
blind mo
Evon then I know you'll find me:
I shall hoar you, Mothor, calling:
I shall fight and follow find you
Though tho grave-clothos swathe
and bind 'you.
And I know your lovo will answer:
"Horo's my laddlo homo from
play!"
Reginald Wright Kauffraan, in tbo
Forum.
SHALL MAN OR
"TVf EN" are beginning to ask themselves," stated Judge
Henry McGinn in a speech at Oregon City Sat
urday evening, " 'what right has this man to govern me
because ho has more money than T have?' Thoy are be
ginning to believe that property was made for man and
not that man was made for property."
The effort inaugurated by the assembly is a move to
re-establish the convention system, whereby property is
enabled .to govern man instead of man property. Tho
part played by corporations in the assembly is exposed by
Judge McGinn, who detailed the personnel of the assembly
leaders as follews:
W. D. Fenton is Southern Pacific and Standard Oil
attorney. R. W. "Wilbur is attorney for tho Portland Rail
way, Light and Power company and of the Liability In
surance companies, which secretly contract with employ
ers to insure them against damage from accident, and
make it appear in court that the damage falls on the em
ployer. S. B. Huston and George W. Stapleton repre
sent the timber interests. Charles H. Carey is attorney
for the Hill system and the telephone company. Wallace
McCaimnant represents numerous corporations, and if
elected to the supreme bench would nullify the initiative
and referendum. JayBowerman is legal representative
in central Oregon for the Harrinmu lines and so it goes
down the list. Every corporation lobbyist who became
a familiar figure at Salem at the last session of the legis
lature was in evidence at the assembly.
The people, not the corporations, should select judges,
legislatures and senators. Oregon does not want to get
back in the class with Illinois, where the seuatorship is
auctioned off to the highest bidder.
Your judgment, Air. Reader, ought to be as good as the
judgment of the man you send to the legislature as to who
should be senator. In what respect is your representative
better able to make a selection than you are? In what
respect is the judgment of these self-appointed delegates
to'an assembly controlled by corporations, superior to the
judgment of the whole people?
PREVENTION VS. CURE.
T
HE forest fires during
awful toll in life and
sections of the northwest, recalling the terrible fires that
swept over the pine belts of Minnesota, "Wisconsin and
Michigan some years ago.
"With all the furore about conservation, the appropria
tion of millions of dollars, the establishment of an immense
bureau and an army of foresters for the conserving of
these resources, the calamities of the past week seem to
mock the puny efforts of the forestry department, and
must in a measure shatter the confidence of the "body pol
itic in the gold lace and red tape of the bureau.
To "fight fire with fire" is a saying so ancient as to
have almost been handed down from the Sanskrit. If
small fires, easily controlled, and at the proper season,
were kindled through the forests annually, taking off
the previous year's accummulation of dead leaves, needles
and brush, the forests might easily be kept clear of in
flammable matter and the awful holacausts that have
marked the past week in a measure be averted.
The whole vigilance of the forestry department has
been directed to prevent f ires, and where their efforts have
been successful year after year, a most deadly reserve
magazine of inflammables that, once kindled, pass all
human control. The origin of these fires is not infre
quently spontaneous combustion, in any event it seems
that human vigilance is powerless to prevent their spread.
To return to the old methods of the Medes and Persians
may seem a long step backward to scientific gentlemen of
the tennis and golf cabinets, but the people who are pay
ing for the gold lace, the flummery and the chalk lines on
the tennis court want a conservation that conserves, even
though it be accomplished by the prosaic methods of the
ancients.

Official ntuiouiiccmuut confirming
the I'urelmso of tho Midway Home
Tolonhonu Co. system by tho Pacif
lo Telephone ami Telegraph Com
pany was reco'ved by District Com
mercial Manager Drowory this morn
ing. In discussing tho taking over
of this proport by IiIh company Mr.
Drowory stated that It was of consid
erable Importance to Medford, as nil
of the business originating In Klam
ath and Lake counties will havu to bo
handled through the district head
nuarters, which are located here,
thus ot can bo seen with this addi
tional Incronoo In business from that
growing section of tbo country, It will
necessitate nu Increase lit tho force,
both In the accounting and plant de
partments hero lit order to carry on
the work.
In speaking of what his company
purposed to do In the way of Im
provements, Mr. Drowery stated that
the city of Klamath Falls had Just
recently granted his company a 25
years franchise and that work would
, commence within 90 dnys on tbo In
stallation of a new central energy
system, which would neccssltnto tho
rebuilding of the entlro Midway com
pany's old system In ordor to glvo
tho patrons a first-class sorvlco,
which that particular soctlon has
needed for somo time. Ho further
stated that material Is now being as
sembled for tho construction of a
number eight copper metallic circuit
from the main Portland nnd San
Francisco toll lino to Lakovlow, via
Klamath Falls, and when this Is com
pleted It will plnco thorn In a posi
tion to gavo an A I sorvlco to all of
the Interior towns In Klamath, Lake,
Harney and Crook counties. This will
represent an expenditure of nt least
ono hundred and twenty-five thou
sand dollars and will mean much to
tbo particular territory that It covers
In tho way of large sums of money
that will be spent for labor and ot
which naturally each town will bo
benefited by.
The company fully reallzos tbo lm-
I portance of this new and growing
' country, and Medford bolng tho log
I leal center for this vast territory, it
was decided that it should bo tho
district headquarters for these couu-
ties.
