We bind, in form, in hue and heip;ht. The finite to the infinite, And, lifted on our shoulders bare, The races breathe an ampler air. The arms thdt clasped, the lips that kissed, Have vanished from the morning mist; The dainty shapes that flashed and passed la spray the plunging torrent cast, Or danced through woven glean and shade, The vapors and the sunbeams braid, Grown thin and pale; each holy haunt Of gods or spirits minis trant Hath something lost of ancient awe; Tet from tho stobping heavens we draw A beauty, mystery and might Time cannot change nor worship slight. The gold of dawn and sunset sheds Unearthly glorv on our heads; The secret of the skies we keep; And whispers, 'round each lonely steep, .Allure and promise, yet withhold, What bnrd and prophet never told. While Man's slow ages come and go, Our' dateless chronicles of snow Their changeless old inscription show, And men therein forever see The unrend speech of deity. Bayard Taylor. SAD!

CHANCE FOR NO MORE worthy proposition, none more deserving of popular support has over ooine before the peo ple of Medford than the )roposal of tho Sisters of Provi dence to establish a $100,000 hospital in Medford. This will be tho largest hospital in (he state outside of Port laud, and will do much to aid in the upbuilding and growth of the community. The Sisters ask a $10,000 bonus with which to pur chase a site. Upon the raising of this sum they agree to construct a modern, up-to-date hospital. In addition to the seventy-five patients that can be accommodated, tho hospital means the permanent employment of probably fifty people. At present every week sick people leave Medford for hospital attention in other places, and with each patient goes several hundred dollars that are lost to the commu nity. This money ought to remain in the city, as it would if we had adequate hospital facilities here, which, in addi tion, will attract patients from all over the southern part of the state, so that, even commercially considered, it is a profitable institution for Medford. Few places the size of Medford have such an opportu nity to secure a hospital. It takes a large population to support an institution. Hospitals, under the most favor able conditions, are never money-making institutions, and only the Sisters could operate here successfully, as they are saved the payroll expense necessitated. Of the several orders maintaining hospitals, the Sis ters of Providence rank the highest. They always conduct a first-class institution. Their hospitals are to a degree non-sectarian, and everyone is welcome, and any physician may take his patients there. Such a hospital as is proposed for Medford will mean as much and more to the city than a good-sized factory. It is to the interest of the city and of the county and all of the residents that every effort be made to raise the requir ed bonus. WHOSE INTERESTS DID HE SERVE? CONGRESSMAjSTTV. O. HAWLEY announces on his placard: "No interests to serve but the public in terests." The query naturally arises, when did Mr. ITawley have a change of heart? When Mr. Hawley voted for the infamous Aldrich Payne tariff bill, which has aroused such a protest throughout the country because of its unjust discrimina tion for trusts, did he have "no interest to serve but the public's'." When Mr. Hawley. throughout the session, voted to sustain Uncle Joe Cannon in his czar-like rulings, which were uniformly against the people and for the benefit of special interests, did Mr. Hawley have "no interest to serve but the public's?" When Mr. Hawley voted to give Senator Aldrich's rubber trust the benefit of increased profits through in creased tariff, and repeatedly voted in favor of increasing the burdens of the consumer and increasing the the cost of living, did he have "no interest to serve but the pub lic's?" When Mi. Hawley fought the insurgents and voted against their every effort to reform the party, did he have "no interest to serve but the public's?" The great wave of public indignation sweeping the country has forced President Taft to drop Speaker Can non, Senator Aldrich and other stand-patters, throw them overboard from the ship of state as party Jonahs, dropped to purify the republican party, and save it from defeat. Should not, then, their entire gang go, including TJncle Joe Cannon's faithful protege, Congressman Hawley? Yesterday in Georgia two democratic congressman were defeated for renomination because they supported TJncle Joe. When the democrats are cleaning out their stables, Oregon republicans ought to do the same. One camlot serve God and Mammon at the same time. How, then, can Mr. Hawley serve Mr. Cannon and the pub lic at the same time? And he says he "stands upon his record." A TIMELY PROTEST. THE protest of the Commercial club against the placing of unsightly telegraph poles along Hertford's main streets is timely. The city has outgrown the stage when corporations should be allowed at their own sweet will to disfigure the main thoroughfare. The telephone companies have been forced to use un derground conduits. There is no reason why the tele graph companies should not have to do the same thing. There is another matter in connection with street im provements that the Commercial club might aid the over worked city council in, and that is in insisting upon the removal of board walks from paved streets. A number of our paved thoroughfares in the. business district are adorned with stretches of board walk. Tn some streets this walk is not kept in good condition. The boards are allowed to become loose, rendering the city liable for dam-1 A HOSPITAL. age suits in case of accident. In some of the instances the walks are not on grade. It is unfair to part of tho property owners to force them to hy cement walks while their noighbors have makeshift plank walks. ColviR Not a (Valley Record.)
