THE LOST DAYS.
1 wish I had not gone
Back to the llttlo town,
"With all my wealth of memories, io
sadly fling them down;
That I had, no nioro boob
Tho lazy llttlo ntreot
That Idlon down tho hillsides whoro
Uio town and country meot.
I wish I had not gouo
To loiter and to look,
And miss tho hoy tlmo glorlos In tha
ono ttma Blnglng brook
'Ono day It was ho deep;
Ono' day It wbb bo wldo;
Ono day It hold cool Bhadows whoro
Uio sunshlno want to hide.
I wish I had not traced
The rosos onco again,
And tried to find tho redness and
tho BwootnoBB they had then;
Nor gono at oarly morn
To find them filled with dow,
Nor soarchod them for tho honoy
that the bees and I onco know.
I 'wish I had not walked
Tho llttlo country lano
And hoped to hoar tho blrdsongs wltli I
tho echoing rofrnin;
That I had not gono out
Upon tho meadow grasa
ISxpooting vagrant clover scout and
mint tang as I'd pass.
I wish I had not gouo
Dnqk to Uio llttlo town
Daolcto my castlos built In Spain
to boo thorn crumblo down;
To fall to hoar tho songs
That roso so gladly thou;
To wake and never droam that I
could ho a boy agatu.

THE SAD SIDE OF ROYALTY.
Tho IncoiiBolablo grief of tho Czar
and Czarina of all Uio Russlas ovor
tho birth of a dead son Is moving the
world (n sympathy.
It seems Uio saddoat of mockorlcs
that Utoso who bend bonoaUi tho
wolght of Imporlal crowns, should not
bo ablo to onjoy tho hlosslngs that
como to' tho poorest of awl's child
ren. ,
What would not tho Emperor and
Kniproai of Uio Muscovites give to
havo an holr to tholr throne? Tho
liooroat woodohoppor nnd his wlfo
bonding ovor the rudest oradlo in
thulr cabin homo arc rich Indoed
compared to tho royal pair in tholr
chlldlwifl woe.
Tho common laborer tolling In the
field, his wlfo at the washtub, havo a
sweet recompense for tholr labors,
whllo knowing that llttlo children
shall cluster about their knecw.
Hut tho royal pair go silently
through tholr marhlo halla, without
tho music of childish voices or tho
ttcliolng pattor of Uttlo foot, and re
tire at night with no llttlo oltngtng
arum twining about thulr necks.
Tho old saying of throo meliorations
from shirt Hleuvos to shirt ulftoves
is recalled in considering tho Infe
cundlty of those aristocrats.
Child-bearing la Indued one of the
liloMsliiftK of poverty.
The man and woman who by pov
erty aro compelled to lead a life of
arduous toll seem best flttod In the
High lutellefltunl culture, rollue
ment above a contain, point Is fatal
to it
Poverty and labor are not the curse
that somo of the agitators would havo
tho world believe. They are the
cradle and tho nurso of vlrtuo, tho
shield of hmunulty and the bulwark
of tho nutlon.
Had tho Czarina boon brought up
In tho ohseuro walks o( llfo, she
would be giving birth to children In
the most natural and BatlBfaotory
way.
A Ufa of selfish. Idleness, of lux-
ury and uon-exertlon, lias ever pre-
ONiOfftW)
eluded i tho function of maternity,
and that which Is tho glory of'povorty
is tho pathos of royalty.

DESERVES LITTLE CREDIT.
"Pralso Is comoly; praise Is picas
ant," but somotlmos It Is too d -d
cheap.
This applies to some of tho parti
san nowspapors that aro praising the
"hangman's" session of tho loglsla
turo to tho skies. Why not wait un
til wo bco what mlstakoB liavo been
mode and what mischief wrought.
Tho brevity of its session was duo
to tho promlso wrung from Its mom
hers by tho Democratic governor. It
doierves no crodit for that negative:
virtue.
It will bo found that no sosslon ov
ertook as much money out of tho tax
payer for tho longth of tlmo it sat.
No virtu o In that.
It restored a dofectlvo taxation law
undor which taxes come duo when tho
peoplo aro least alilo to pay, and
many farmers aro forced to tho banks
to borrow monoy to pay taxes. No
vlrtuo in that
It trifled with tho Hat salary, and
dollboratcly talked it to death on pro
tonso of wanting to consider it That
was not a cardinal yirtuo to get to
hoavon on.
It allowed tho gambling bill to bo
stolen, and ninety men sat with fear
and trombllng for twelve hourB, lost
fiomo ono would call attention to what
nearly all tho mombors know had
happonod. How virtuous!
Tho shippers of tho stato asked ro
llof from a car shortngo (that has
caused Wostern Oregon to loso hum
dreds of thousands of dollars) and
from increased freight rates that kill
tho snwinlll business.
Undor the influence of a poworful
corporation lobby tho members wore
whipped into voting against tholr con
stituents, and many of thorn hid and
slunk nway from going on record.
Thoy are so virtuous J
L.ot us pass them by and bury do
osntly, and not stir tho mess. Tho
soonor forgotton tho .bottor. vOnly
don't praise them too much.
GOOD PICTURES IN THE SCHOOLS
What more laudablo undertaking
than supplying tho public schools
with good plcturos?
What bottor moans of educating
tho tastes of tho growing genera
tion than by hnvlng thorn hocomo fa
miliar with tho mastorploces of art?
Tho public art oxhlblt to bo glvon
in this city next month will surely re
celvo hearty support.
Tho movomont is to put at loast
twonty good pictures in each of Uie
public school rooms.
Art reproductions can uow be had
so choaply that tho grandost subjocta
can bo mndo familiar to the oyos of
the whole community.
This, in ltsolf, Is a liberal educa

INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM.
An tho supremo court has declared
that this fuature of the constitution
wns legally adopted as It the peoplo
in their primary capacity could do
anything lllogal lot It bo tried.
Lot the people not undortako tho
Initiative on overy trivial matter no
dangor of that but lot them not go to
Bloop and let this nmondment becomo
a dead letter as it has In one of tho
Dakotns.
lt somo Important mattor bo takon
up, and mnde an Issuo, and put
through. Just to show that tho people
are able to initiate and accomplish ro
sultH without waiting for tho nllpow
orful legislature. '
Tho "don't-care-a-d n" spirit of
tho legislature Is becoming something
torrlblo for tho peoplo to contam
plato. It fears nolthor man, god, the
devl. nor the prose.
There Is no power to curb Its ex
travagance, Irresponsibility, corrupt!
blllty. or immorality hut, the Initiative
and Referendum.
A DIRECT PRIMARY LAW.
The good effect of a direct primary
law was seen nnd felt In the recent
city election.
Nominations had to be reasonably
acceptable to the people. That was
a cheok upon the majority party.
The party that goes Into powor will
not with greater caution lu nil It does,
on account of direct nomination.
Tho Republicans know tho poople
of tholr own party will ha,vo a direct
vote on the record made by each mom
bar of tho olty council and tho mayor.
To commend themsolves to Uio peo
plo they will havo to do what Is right
......
exist, are subordinated to tho doubja
process of selection at tho primary
and at the election.
Tho movemont started by the Initi
ative to got a direct primary law
should bo heartily sustained by tho
peoplo of all parties.
THE. MEN WHO DON'T ADVERTISE
Thoro aro active, would-bo busi
noss mon who don't believe in adver
tising, and turn down tho nowspapoi
Bollcltor3 with contempt.
Such mon overlook tho fact that the
newspaper to Ilvo must be in touch
with tho living, vital mass of the com
munlty.
It is themsolves who, In their nil
wise contompt for tho newspapers aro
getting out of touch with tho general
public.
Probably all their original success
was duo to tho fact that thoy, by
somo hook or crook, wore well ad
vortlBed. Having succeeded by this very
means thoy make tho mistake of des
pising and kicking from under tholr
feot tho laddor by which they climbed
to success.
Wo havo observed many such per
sons in twenty-five years of nowspaper
work, and thoy all end with as great
a failure as their beginning was
marked by success.
KEEP OUT OF IT.
Hon. Harrison It. Kincald has
closed the fortieth year of his editor
ial work on tho Oregon Stnto Journal.
Ho has probably flftoon hundred times
asked hlmsolf, was It worth whllo,
and would I do It again If I had my
llfo to llvo over, and thon gono out
bohind tho woodshed and swore si
lonty at himself for hnvlng boen such
a fool.

A RATTLING COMPOSITION.
A lady subscriber writes this offlco
that sho has accomplished a feat in
music that is a distinct achlovomont
In that art an Instrumental com

wondorfully largo salo.
It might moro fittingly be called
tho lockstop and gunchnso, as tho
morry hunt after tho escaping con
vlots wns accompanied by a tatoo of
Winchester bullots.
A Quiet Wedding.
This is tho way "Llttlo Rosobud"
rocontly wrote to tho Albany Domo
orat regarding a hitching beo in Oak
vlllo: "On tho ovonlng of tho 2Cth a
woddlug occurred In South Oakville,
which was intonded for a quiet affair.
Miss Wlnnio Holstoin, tho brldo, wns
ono of tho popular young ladles of
our town, nnd Mr. Morrison, the
groom, was comparatively a stranger.
Howovor, somo young follows (who
didn't bolong hero) decided to mnko
night hideous and 'a hot time was had
in tho old town. They first took the
horse of tho bridegroom and stabled
him with tho pigs; then they took his
saddle and put It on a cow, all this
boforo midnight. At midnight thoy
fired off about SO shotguns, and mada
all tho other hideous noises they
could. Thoy succeeded in awakening
all tho people In a radius of four miles
and all tho cats and dogs in this end
of tho qqunty. Thoy turned over the
muathouso, and broko a window in tha
parlor. Thoy wore called in and
troatod to a grand feast. So ended a
quiet (?) wedding."

confident answer. "I havo it written

'You Yankees aro born with a feath
