Lincoln was homely and human, and a coiner of apt philo sophic epigrams, the most quoted one being. ''You can fool part of the people part of the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time." His apprai sal of the ways of the rank and file, is subject to revision, as of late years the masses have shown slims ot a passionate desire to be bamboozled, indefinitely.

THE TIRED BEAUTY ": (Albany Democrat) Oregon is a pouting as well as n lighted beauty, it tho sense of Charles H. Clmpman'B article in The Nation, "A Blighted Beauty," may bo taken as true.

Editorial Corrfespondence SALEM, Ore., Feb. 10. Ono gets the idea from Governor Pierce that Oregon consists ot a legiBlaturo en tirely siirroundod by outraged farm ers. The picture Is scarcely a cor rect ono. There are nearly 400,000 dwellers In cities and towns in the state according to statistics at the state house, and there ore nearly 70,- Ouu Oregonlans who pay, or have paid, a federal Income tax. So the power and Insistence of the farm bloc is hardly in proportion to Its num bers. 4 a Last night tho "Third House" had an Inning. It was supposed to be a burlesque on the legislature, but it really wasn't as funny us the legis lature. O. L. Holman, reading clerk forty years ago, was Imported from Dallas and did his best to fill a comic role. Pat Gallagher, a former member ot the house, and a casualty of the re cent election assisted Mr. Holman, as did Dr. Slaughter of Salem. But the proceedings dragged. Tho comic note was forced. Comedy to bo convinc ing muBt have a basis of reality and thero was no reality to the burles quo for the simplo reason that to bur lesque a burlesque equals nothing. The most interesting stunt was put on by Holman when he read the roll of members of forty years ago from muniorv. When tho meeting ended with everyone singing tho Star! Spangled Banner,"" dancing was an nounced and duly enjoyed In. the ro tunda. President of the Senate Jay Upton, Senator Charley Hall and Senator Uus Moser joined In reduc tion oxerciBes with the prettiest girl Htenoarauhcrs nnd naees. and when tho revelry was at Its height, Gov- ernor Pierce walked through from' his chambers with his eldest daugh ter on his arm. Tho governor looked l .. . 1 .. rp,n dnn' aoiwuui, ei y buioiuu. a iiu m.D,io was not, wo fear entirely to his lik ing. In fact In certain quarters thero was almost a suggestion of moon light waltzing, and the music had oc casional suggestions of pazz. Hardly a fitting plcturo for a bono' dry ad ministration of plttilcss retrench ment. The governor carried it off however with a bow and a smilo, and to show thero was no shameful ex travagance Messrs. Hall and Upton passed tho hat to pay for the orches tra. No legislature Is complete without B batch of bills relating to bulls. They always come up nnd they aro always passed. Heaven only knows how many bull bills thero mint be: .now on tho statute books. Another i ono passed tho senato- yesterday' which among other things required ono pure blooded bull with every twenty-flvo cows. Senator Dunn was tho only member to oppose the bill, and aftor tho roll call a number ot senators changed tholr votes from Aye to No. Not enough howevor to change the rosult. Tho bill passed. Jackson county' fruit growers may bo interested to know a bill has pass ed the house and will probably be come a law which requires all man ufacturers of spray dope to pay a li cense and bo subject to control by the state of Orogon. Tho moasuro Is designed to protoct the purchaser from fraud and insures tho efficacy of tho spray by requirihg cortaln standards. All legislatures are rushed during the final week but the congestion this yoar surpasses all records. With only (our days of tho forty left and not a sluglo Important moasuro has become a law, nouo of tho appropriation bins have been pnsBcd, while the tight on Irrigation hnB scarcoly startod.

On Saturday Senators Dennis and Johnson delivered lengthy speeches rosoutlng tho Impression which has gone out, chiefly through tho spe cial messngo of tho governor, that tho legislature 1b not backing up tho administration, and is responsible for delay.

MEDFOftD MAIL TRIBUNE, upper house to be in perfect accord with the governor and Btralnlng every effort to give him what h wants. Th Intimation, tactfully expressed, was that tho governor did not know and does not know just what he wants, and has himself been respon sible for tho last minute congestion. There is probably considerable truth to this contention. The situa tion is (his: Governor Piorce is not a detail man. He is perfectly sincere in his demand for tax reduction, but when It comes to tho' fino technical points whereby such reduction may be attuiuod, he is rather at sea. He has to depend upon outside advice and there is no unanimity among the outsiders. But moro important still Is the political equation. Governor Pierce wants to be In a position to blame the legislature if future 'events demonstrate that his campaign promises are not going to be fulfilled, that is not fulfilled sufflcently to satisfy the voters. The legislature on the other hand, wants to be in a position to blame the gov ernor; they want to give the gov ernor what ho demands, and put the responsibility squarely up to him. As a result although on the sur faco there Is perfect harmony between the legislature and the administration- in fact a suspicious excess ot It there is underneath considerable friction. Tako consolidation, for ex ample. It is au open secret that Governor Pierce's endorsement of the Hall consolidation was merely poll tics, a paymon to Hall for his re tirement from the gubernatorial con test. Nevertheless tho defeat ot this measure has been used by somo of tho governor's closo friends, in a fashion which suggests that no mat ter what consolidation Is effected the governor will be in a position to claim that in the defeat of the Hall measure ho was denied the tools he requested. The political ramifications in such a situation are obvious. Moreover Governor Flerte undoubtedly real izes now that consolidation will not materially decrease tho administra tive expenses, although it may in crease administrative efficiency. Un der the circumstances it would sur prise no ono ir the entire program ot consolidation, in tho rinal show down Is thrown into the discard, and with this probability in mind bath the governor and the legislature are maneuvering to put tho blamo upon tho other. It is a very amusing situation. It is also a very confused and compli cated ono. No one can predict the outcome. But thin much is certain. Governor Pierco is the master ot them all when practical politics are concerned. If he loses It will bo be cauBO the situation offers no cards with which he could win. Tho hotiBO forced Cowglll to bring out the Adjutant General Whlto bill Friday. Tho time set was for 10 o'clock Saturday morning, but Ralph was called home by wire so the fight comes up Monday. This is moro or less a family quarrel induced by out-J sidors who don't like White. They claim he 1b given a life job by the present statute and tho measure would put his removnl up to the gov ernor. Whlto on tho other hand claims ho hasn't a life job, that he is now subject to removal ,and that thd right against him Is morely a Bponsiracy on tho part or his per sonal enemies. Cowglll has shown considerable ability In this session and can bo depended upon to give a good account ot himself, when a fight Is involved.

It Is inevitable that tho growing appreciation of Lincoln sho.uld find expression In poetry. Only tho poet can . gather up the feelings of a grateful world of people. As tho passing yeurs bear him farther and farther from us in time, the poets bring him nearer and nearer to us In spirit. Not that there is a decline in Lin coln prose literature. By no menns! Kvcry year -brings new books and a flood of articles, many of which re flect new light on matters of historic significance regarding Lincoln. Ono of the most Interesting of this year's productions Is an nrtlele by Wm. L. Stldger on "The Lincoln Tri ology of Literature." Mr. Stidgcr makes a distinct contribution to Lin coln lltoraturc in giving to the pub lic for tho first tmio that he calls tho stronges tand shortest poem of nil tho thousands that have been written on Lincoln. It is a couplet by Joaquin Miller, written at tho re quest of the keeper of the Lincoln Memorial Tomb nt Springfield, from whom Mr. Stldger secured It for pub lication. It is nn amazingly reveal ing summnry of Lincoln's character istics. Hero It is, copied by Mr.' Stldger frunt tho original in Joaquin Miller's own handwriting: IJncoln. By Joniiuln Miller. The strength of Hercules, Tho sense of SocrateB! Another Interesting fonture of this article is that Mr. Btldgor points out that any library of Lincoln literature must Include, the literature Lincoln liver, tho lltcrnturo ho wrote himself, and the literature written about hint. Tho literature which Lincoln lived is named "Tho Short Shelf of Books," which was tnndo up of tho following: tho Bible. Aesop's Funics. Robinson Crusoe, Pilgrim's Progress, a history of the United States, nnd Wccnis' Life of Washington, all of which Lincoln literally absorbed In his youth, read ing them again and again becauso he had nothing else to read. 1 Mr. Stldger snsy: "Ills speeches, his letters, nnd his conversation throughout Ills llfetlmo were flowers blossoming out of tho rich soil ot the Hlblo iind these few great books in which he lived us a boy. His figures of speech, his simplicity of expres sion, his dignity of language, his loftiness of symbol nro all due to his having saturated himself with the languago of the Bible. T!io litera ture of the Bible was Lincoln's cvery-duy speech!" Under the beading. "Tho Litera ture Ho Wrote Himself," it Is point ed out that Lincoln was a poet. Some times. in fact most often he was not conscious of tho poetic style of his language, as is illustrated by a quatrain from the Gettysburg ad dress: But in a larger sense Wo cannot dedicate We cannot consecrate. We ennnot hallow this ground. Also, by tho following four lines from the second inuugural! Fondly do we hope, Fervently do we pray That this mighty scourge of war May speedily pass away. And. by way of further Illustration, Mr. Stldger gives us the following beautiful blank verse: With malice toward none. With charity for nil; With firmness In the right As tied gives us to see the right, Ik'I us strive on to finish The work which wo aro In: To hind up the nation's wounds: To care for him who shall have borne The brunt of the battle; And for his widow and his orphans. To do all that may achieve nnd cherish A .lust ami lusting peace Among ourselves And with all nations. Mr. Stldger takes Marlon Mills Miller's suggestion In "The Poet's Lincoln" nnd arranges the Gettys burg speech In verse form, the first nnd last of which Is ns follows: Font-sore nnd seven years ngo MONDAY, FEBRUARY 12, LINCOLN LITERATURE lly Ilev. J. Uandolph rinssnctt. ' J 1 Whimsical Verse From His Copy Book. Our fathers brought forth Upon this continent A new nation, Conceived in liberty. And dedicated to the proposition That all men are created equal. That from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause For which they gave The last full, measure of devotion; That we hero highly resolve That theso dead shall not have died in vain; That this nation, under God, Shall have a new bli-h of freedom: And' thnt government of tho people, By the people,' and for, tho people -Shall not perish from the earth! Mr. Stidgcr .quotes four avowedly and deliberately metrical pieces writ ten by Lincoln, one of which reflects nn early manifestation of -Lincoln humor. It is from his schoolboy note book, says Miss T.nbell: Abraham Lincoln - His hand uml pep, . s Ho will bo good, . But God knows when. m Tho liternturc about Lincoln is so voluminous that Mr. Stldger con tents himself with merely quitlng the best titles, pointing out, how ever, that the library of congress contains over fifteen hundred books written on Lincoln. Another inter esting fact brought out . Is that not only is -American- Lincoln literature being translated Into many foreign languages, but that foreign writers are producing Lincoln litorature . of merit, as. for example: "Tho Drink water Drama," and "The Lift of Lin coln" by Lord Charwood. John Phillip Newman said of Lin coln: "Here Is one more honored than any other man whilo living, moro revered when dying, nnd des tined to be loved to tho last syllabic of recorded time." And, ns pointed out beforo, this lovo nnd devotion for "Tho Man of tho Ages" must find its supreme expression In poetry. The following, by Thomas Curtis Clark, published. In the Christian Century, speaks for us all: Tho Miracle. Tho wild Kentucky hills were touched . of Ood, . And lo! A child was born; his sires, unknown, Dreamed not that God would for their tears atono By raising from their midst a king. The sod On which they walked was cursed to them, Begrudging them their bread, for all their toll: But it was holy ground; for from that soil Should como a chosen ono; the diadem Upon his brow should bo no piece of gold. But, like his lowly Lord's, a thorny crown. Upon his cross he died; tliey took him down. And lo! They found, beforo the day was old. That they had crucified thei' one true friend. Despite their bntc, he loved them lo tho end. - And this by the snmo author: At GcntiTYlUe. From theso dark streets named forth a brilliant light, This miry clay produced a mighty tree. From this rude town emerged the bravest knight That ever fought for human liberty. Can it have been he. found his splen did dream Amid these shacks, where giant rats run wild? Perhaps from heaven a high, pro phetic gleam Knsnared his heart, the whilo he thought nnd smiled. This very spot was where he laughed nnd talked: They my ho whittled; whillng hours away. His naked feet these slimy alleys wnlkrd. And in tills hill, perhaps, be. learned tu ray. 1U2.1 This is tho tale of talcs since time began How squalor travaillcd and brought forth a MAN! And this. Tho Master. We need him now his rugged faith - that held 1 To tho rock of Truth through all the days - 1 Of moil and strife, the sleepless nights: upheld By very God 'was he that God who, stays - j All hero-souls who will but trust in Him, I And trusting, labor as if Cod were not. I His eyes beheld tho stars, clouds. could not dim I Their glory; but his task was not forgot: I To keep his people one; to hold them true To that fair, dream their fathers willed to them Freedom for all; to spur them; to renew Their hopes in bitter days; strifo t Such was his task, nnd well his work was done Who willed us greater tasks, when set his sun. In another publication I find some verses entitled "The Lincoln Spring," by Wm. L. Stldger, from whose pro lific pen, I have already quoted at length. Accompanying tho poem is the statement that on the farm where Lincoln was born, llodgenville, Ky., is a beautiful spring of crystal-clear water flowing out of a cavo under a great oak tree. From tho picture of tho spring one can imaginu that Lin coln often spent hours in study and reverie here, as well as slaking his thirst from Its cool water. But let the poet tell tho story: The Lincoln Spring. There's a flow of crystal water frqm a hlllsldo far away In the southland where our Lincoln ' came to birth one fateful day; There Kentucky fields nro sunny. and the happy bluebirds sing. In tho trees . above the hillside by a cuvo-born, oooling spring. Bending low lo reach its waters in tho days of long ago Lincoln's lips were kissed with cool ing in its crystal depths and flow; Lincoln's soul was washed with sun shino; Lincoln's mind was left as clean As tho, shadow of his figure in llio water's rippling sheen. Other springs were on tho hillside of the lowly Lincoln's youth And ho drank with wistful wonder from Pierian springs of truth; For he drunk from books and people; and he drank from mother-love; Theh he drnnk his fill of worshipping the Father-heart above. Other springs were on tho hillsides, nnd he -drank with holy glee From tho springs of lovo and laugh ter; lowly life and liberty; Drank lie deep of field and flower; - drank he deep of star and tree;. Filled his soul with Bible lyrics: drank the cup of destiny. Other springs were on the mlllsides of .this eager, wistful life; Springs ot sympathy nnd yearning for the humble brother's strife; Springs that had their crystal sources where the ancient sages trod: ' Springs that leapt in light and living from the mighty soul of Ood! Surely these are sufficient lo quicken our minds Into n great ap preciation of those who have caught up our fcellngrf nnd expressed them for us as most of us could not for ourselves, but I quote one more. It was evidently Inspired by that saying of John T. Morse's: "Lincoln stands apart In striking solitude." Tho poem finds concrete expression In St. Oau den's statute of Lincoln., A bralwun Lincoln.
