.THE MOUNTAINS.
Howe'er the wheels of Time ro round,
We cannot wholly be discrowned.
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.

For earth too jovely,

' For, speaking, she said:

John K. LoBaron In Smart Set.
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

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.
