Come, Lancelot, you grand old boy,
.Let's put our heads together,
And have another quiet chat

I know a haze is o'er your eyes,
And your memory's failing some,
But let us glance along the path
,Your 7 weary hoof a have eome.
Do you remember how you felt
-f When you scampered down the lane
With, a tassel lor a fly brush
And a strip of fuzz for manef
. '
How your noso was always getting
Up against a silken flank,
Vhen ojd enough to try your teeth,
Hut not, big enough to spank t
How you dreamed upon the clover
As you watched the shadows pass,
When you had to bend your knees
'' For your neck to reach the grass f
And, say, do you remember
How it made the children laugh,
And they said tbey thought old Nellie
lieu a little pet giraffe T
How high you 1 stepped that morning,
. u son or Aiiaruoni,
When they lined you up with others,
r. Ho lithe and game and gaunt!
And don't yon thriM to think of it
. How you cut tne turr with steel,
When your Arab second cousin

And how the Rosemond maiden
Once made you take her mud,
And carried off the cherished prizo
In spite of all your blood f

And a heartless brute one evening said:
"Old at iff, yon 're getting old,"
And pulled your striped blanket off

Occasionally, at rare times in our his
tory la fset, men, individual men, have
come before the people and have
swept aside all organisation and opposi
tion and have been carried forward 6a
a corrent of popularity to high sta
tions, but the ease has been very rare.
The nomination of ' James O. Blane
for president of the United States came
to him as a demand backed by a great
popular uprising within his party of
the men whose love for the plumed
knight overran their judgment; yet de
feat came to Blaine.
William Jennings Bryan was the ac
cidental choiee of a party resultant on
one ; nj-eeeh which made him popular
among those who are apt to be led by
their emotions rather than by their
saner thoughts. Yet an explication of
the rational outcome of the policy ad-
voeatcd by Mr. Bryan sobered the pop-1
ulaec, and those who would have sup
ported him for the presidency had the
election come in August, were prepared
to support McKinley when the election
finally came in November. i :
On the other hand, Theodore Roose
velt stands out as an example of what
personality may do toward making a
man great and to advance him to high
position.
Students of political economy, men
who have made polities the study of
their lives, those who from those nat
ural causes and conditions reaeh the
point at which they beeome known as
leaders in a party, were afraid of
Roosevelt; they feared his abruptness,
his vehemence, they feared his liabil- (
ity to form hasty opinions ana to ae

there are those in politic, today in
the UniU-d State, who will declare'
that President Roosevelt know, more
about the public pulse twlay than be
did six months ago.
His demand for a revision of the
tariff, for an immediate session of c i-
grens for the purpose of adopting reci
procity treaties, met with such a storm
of opposition from all parts of the
country, that one eonvent

United States. Roosevelt has not ueen
a man to advise with other people, to
ask the opinions of other people, and
such advice as has come to him has been
gratuitous and offered to him because
those ' leaders in the party to which
Roosevelt naturally belongs could not
stand idly by and see the tenets and
the principles of that party destroyed
at the beck or call, of one man or any
one set of men.
The question is, now that Roosevelt
has been known so long by all the
people, is he strong enough again to j
come out as a personal 'candidate, and j
would he carry that amount of support 1
of the entire people so as to again
guarantee his election, even against

MORE BAD LAND LAWS.
The government land laws which
have ruled the west have all been
made by men who had no more knowl
edge of the conditions which existed
in the west than the man in the moon.
The latest evidence of this is in the
irrigation land laws, in which the prog-
nosticated is about to happen. Many
prophesied that the general fund would
be called on to make up the deficit in
this work, and that point is now about
to be reached. The San Francisco
Call says: j -.. , ,
"It was intended that the settlers
on the irrigated land should pay back
to the government, ia annual install
ments, the cost of - the reclamation.
That .would make a revolving fund of
the original capital, and would trans-
f e It
from . completed to new pro
A large number of irrigation
jecta.
plants have been put under' way, but
none has yet returned a dollar to the
fund. One reason appears to be that
government irrigation plant, eost ' so
much per acre of land to be served
that 'settlers are shy about assuming
the burden of debt.
"As soon as an irrigated homestead
i. occupied the debt to the government
begin, to ruts. on it. entire acreage." If
the limit of.srea is eighty acres, the
settler has to pay,24l for water the
first year, though he win be doing well
if he put up his buildings, fence his
land, provide teams and feed for them,
get tool, and . implements, and , get
twenty acre, in crop. He will then be
using water on twenty acres at "a cost
of 112 per acre. ' The term, and ebnd
tions axe toot hard for the men who
seek settlement on land. Those who
have on hand the. amount of capital
required to meet the conditions do not
wish to live on the land.
"Another obieetion is that the limit,
nt holdincrs is too smalL A farmer
must be a man of family. As his chil
dren -reach maturity he wants .some
land - to divide among them. A home
stead of eighty acres will not serve
that purpose. ' .5 , -
"The law seems to have been made
by men who. never underwent the ex
perience of moving on to wild land,
subduing it and making a home sup
ported by its produce. In administer
ing the law the interior; department
has spread its legs too wide. It has un
dertaken a number of very costly
plants all at once. It should ' have
completed one, seenred settlers on it,
and hadytxperience to guide it for fur

reaction that will, be, caused, by the

ASE NOT ALL FOOLS.
The Oregonian has done something
the entire people of the United States
have not been able to do in the last
forty yes, the last hundred years. It
has, by one pen stroke, eliminated the
tariff question from party politics, and
, nas maae it a non-paixtsan 4ucnu,
How lovely! It -was so easy, too!.
Yet there is a question about it. Free
trade is still against protection, and
protectionists still oppose free trade,
.The only thing is, the Oregonian is for
free trade, yet expects and wants Re-
publicans to support it notwithstand
ing they are for protection and don't
believe in even the Oregonian,
The Oregonian says the Chicago
("reciprocity convention " was non
partisan. It knows better. Free trade
a
is not non-partisan, neither is protec
tion, neither is Senator Harris of Kan-
aas. or Cummins of Iowa. On these
' . -
two questions the two dominant par
ties of the United 8tates have divided
for years and will continue to divide,
All other questions are side issues. This
the Oregonian knows.

A RAILWAY DANGER.
In a discussion of the railway situa
tion in eastern Oregon, especially as it
relates to the future interests of the
Willamette valley, one point seems to
have . been overlooked by the valley
press generally, and; by the Portland
papers in particular and to the writer
this point is one of vital interest. To
its understanding a study of the map of
the inland empire is necessary.
The building of what is known as
the Shaniko branch of the O. R. tc N.
to Rend should be carefully studied Jn
its relation to the future. There is to
day undeT construction from San Fran
cisco through northern California and
in connection with the Southern Pa
cific system,-a railway which is now
completed to a )oiut in Modoc county,
and which has for its apparent objec
tive, the Klamath basin, where it ex
pects to arrive within a few weeks. The
gap, however, lying between Bend and
Klamath falls is relatively short and
who believes that once the two lines
mentioned above reach Klamath Falls
and Bend, respectively, they will be al
lowed to stop tberef
Once connected, these two lines, what
more natural than a through transcon
tinental route from British Columbia,!
northern Montana, Idaho, through east
ern Washington and Oregon to San
' Francisco T The Southern Pacific, the
Harriman syndicate, call it what one
will, so long as the idea is carried, has
its center not at Portland, where a
lot of its leased lines center but at
San Francisco, terminals of its own
main lines. Does any one doubt, there
fore. Hhat once completed the line
through eastern Oregon to connect these
roads, the trade of eastern Oregon, and
the inland empire wit. be, as much as
possible, diverted to San Francisco t
Now whereas the remedy f It lays in
the extension of the Corvallis & East
ern into eastern Oregon, so as to divert
the trade of that empire toward this
valley, to which it properly, not only
politically but psysieally, belongs. The
0. k E. with an expenditure of less
than a quarter of a million dollars ean
be opened to a connection with the wa
gon roads of the Crook eonaty district,
and its natural extension to a connec
tion with the Oregon Short Line will
some day give this state' what it re
quires, another . connection, from its
eastern boundary to the valley..
WHERE WE HAVE BEEN EHY.
Tae exposition visitor who take,
a steamboat 'ride np the Columbia
to The C Dalles , and back, then
a "street ear. journey to City
Park and ' Portland Heights"
feels no doubt thai he, she or it, is
f nlly equipped to talk about Oregon.
In this the aforesaid visitor - is about I
iaa able to tell of Oregon's wonders
a. the average Portlander The Lewis
and Clark fair people have taken the
position that Portland , and the Port
land .treet railway, are all there i. of
Oregon. They have made no effort to
enlighten visitors, further than what
enlightenment can be gained in the ag
ricultural building at the fair. No ef
fort has been made to induce visitors
to take a daylight run through the Wil
lamette valley, orinto tho inland em
pire. Yet no open-eyed visitor can see
the fair or the town of Portland, or the
.hipping on the Willamette river and
not feel t-at somewhere there must bo
a country back of all this. ,
The country is here, and It seems too
bad that every visitor to the fair has
not had some extra inducement offered
him to come out and see it. Marion
county should have looked after this
matter for itself; Polk should hav
done the same, and Yamhill ami Linn
and all the rest. Tho ablest "spieler"
to be employed, one who is up on' com
mercial conditions, agricultural condi
tions, educational facilities, railway and
street ear liues, and everything else we
have here, should have been in the Mar
ion county both all the time, ever
ready to talk and to interest every vis
itor in Salem and its surrounding
country.
This has not been done, and it seems
a matter of regret. It has been sug
gested, but it sterns thex county ,conrt
expected to get a good man for cheap
pay, and that can't be done. It is late
but not too late to do this yet, nnd
uiueh good could be accomplished by
such a man being placed there even at
this late day. The eounty conrt, the

1905 as compared with 1903 amounted
to $24,473,811. ;; " .
The trade balance tor 1603 in favor
of Cuba was 147,943,001, being f6,7C3,.
432 greater than Cuba's balance in
193 before reciprocity was put in op
eration. An adverse-trade balance t)f
$47,945,001 means that to the extent of
tL at amount we bottgt from Cuba more
than we sold to Cuba.
It also means that we supplied Cuba
with $47,945,001 of-American money
with which to increase her patronngo
of European mills and factories.
. We give Cuba a 25 per cent preferen
tial tariff on her cigars and tobruwo,
and a 20 per eent preferential tariff
on her other products. ...Under thi.i we
have jwiid out to the Cuban producer
and manufacturer the sum of $18,IM),
(CO in the shape vf a bonus daring the
year 1905, and when we add this iuun
to the rash Icilr.. e of trado against us
during that year, or nearly $ IS, tOott oi)
we find that vie have actually paid
Cuba ttf.0(Myno more than we h:n
received f roan tht. country. That tins
is what it cost ii to work up oir for
eign trad'" with that island must be evi
dent to the most stupid observer.
While we have really increased our
annual iort to Cuba in the sum of
fiC'S 12,-179 since 1903, nnd have paid
at the rate of $18,000,000 for the in-V-reane,
it is difficult to see that the
United States is any tho lwtter off for
the arrangement. -'
The intent of this -reciprocal ptuposi.
tion was tooit the price of sugar anil
to reduce the price of tobacco but docs
any one nee win-re either has been done!
Sugar is 25 jt eent higher than it was
in -1903 and no user of tobacco will
admit that there , has leen any change
to his Iwnefit in, the price of Cuban i
gnis or of otHer tobacco..
No one need make the statement and'
fXjM'ct it to be received with credulity
that it pays r will pay to' get foreign
trnde -through, tariff, reductions. It has
not paid in the cam; of Cuba, and it
will continue to act againttt the Ameri
can producer and manufactured wher
ever put into practice.
Public Is Aroused.
The public is aroused to a knowledge
of the curative merits of that great
medicinal tonic, Klectric Bitters, for
sick -stomach, liver and kidneys. Mary
II. Walters, of 54 St. Clair Ave., ('-
luu'bus, )., writes: "For several months
I was given up to die. 1 bad fever and
ague, my nerves .were wrecked, L could
not sleep, aud tay stomach was so weak.
from useless doctors' drugs that I could
not eat. Noon after lgiuiiiug to take
rdeetrie liitters, I obtained relief, anil
in a short time 1 was entirely Cured.".
