ear little boy, with wondering cyos,
That for the light of knowledgo
yearn,
Wbo Imvo such faith that I am wise
Aad know tho things that you would
learn.
TEkctfgli oft I shako my head and smile
To hear your childish questions flow
fi BMirt not moot your face with guilo;
JC rnHnot tell I do not know.
ear llttlo lioy with eager hoart
Forrer on tho quest of truth,
ZXmK riddles oft are past my ntt
To answer to your tender youth.
"But nomo day you will undcriitnnd
The things that now I cannot Bay,
VTiien life shall tnko you by the hnnd
Awl lead you on Its wondrous way.

Toother through tho world wc" furc,
TWIitTo much that I would fnln divine
I bftVQ not yot tho strength to bear,
'JLSkn you with riddling words I ask,
"Like ymi I hold another hand,
And Imply whrn I do my task,

Tho delegation showed determination
t imreuro the speakership, but having
teuril that, let things drift. In fuel,
it was out harmonious, held few eon-
fecenej;, udopted no rules.
Tf l)' Multnomah delegation had net
cd 'with u purpose there would have
3ka more residts. As it was nil the
wlled umehine measures went by the
lbard.
There was no unity or harmony bo
t&ween the members from Multimmah
5n the two houses. Hills they curried
Ja one house, they lost In tho other.
A himple rule that tliu delegation
would onumiH on measures in which
they were Interested would have saved
tho day on many matters. So they lost
their commission bill, their park bill,
their census bill, Cascade county, tho
Jayne mill, Clark county, etc., etc
They gave tho opposition the chair
manship of the standing committee on
resolutions which became a disintegrat
ing foroo durintr tho entire sossion.
They saved a member of the Port of
Portland commission by the iron nerve
of the president of tho senate.
Well, It may be better for the stato
that they were so Ignorant of the gamo
of pontics, but little satisfaction to
their friends who put them In a posi
tion to do things and saw thorn fall.
ONLY A WOMAN.
Miss Ida Tarbell Is ouly a woman,
but she can think and write.
For years she has boon battering

Stnndnrd Oil iniquity.
At Inst logisiaturos nntl congress nro

Saturday Miss Tnrboll suggested
that plpo lines bo declarod cqmmon
oarrtors, subject to regulation by law.
Monday senators nnd representatives
fall over each other to bo first to
enact her suggestions into law.
Grent Is Tarbell, if sho Is only a
womun. If she keeps up her lick she
may be President somo dny.
Tho two grent foreos thnt rulo tho
world nro mind nnd money Intelli
gence and wealth.
Jn tho final conflict tho latter is al
ways subordinated by tho former
Mind conquers money.

this fact more patent than In our coun

Is it not a restoration of what the

Is it not restoring the1 partnership in

This toam hitching up together may
work better in our country than in

prevailed tho church has become weak
and the government corrupt.

ble of earning moro than 50 cents a

ing $ij a day out of tho public treas
ury, while tho senntors nnd repre
sentatives arc alio wed only $3. This
condition of affairs is nothing short
of ridiculous, tho graft will continue,
however, until the legislators are paid
a salary sufllclcnt to justify them in
employing clorks at their own ex
pense. When this is done, there will
bo no dangor of moro clerks being em

prosont system merely provides an op
portunity for tho pnymont of personal
politieal debts at tho expense of the
people, but tliero is not much hope for
any immediato reliof from the graft,
and $8 committee clerks and $5 pages
will probably incrcaso in number with
