Man, whom to please a woman strlvcth much,
Doth aeom to prize the least her who for him
Hath sacrificed the moeU A servant, such
As ho mlsht hlro for gold 0110 strong of limb
To wash and scrub, and cook a toothsomo meal
At small oxponso--would serve his purpose well
As doth tho faithful wlfo whoso woo or weal
Ho senre consldor. Bho Is error foil
Thrown strong deslro to make his burden light,
And tnko her sharo In what ho counted III,
Had rho Instead claimed homeago as hor right,
Or, like a child accustomed to Its will,
Jlulod strength by wenkness, alio had boon n quoon
And ho hor willing subject foralitlmo.
But ovon IntorchanBO Is seldom scon,
And strango perversity calls lovo subllmo
What so exists; and womon worthlor far
Of worship, holding place na high above
As o'rr tho earth Is yondor shining star,
Atopp not to learn by art to win man's love.
Tho doll, tho fashlon-plnlo, tho buttorlly,
Tho wily ilaltoror, tho vino thr.t clings,
Do to confuse his brain, ho looks not high
Knough to sec thoso borno aloft on wings.

THE DEVELOPMENT OP OREGON.
Tho editor of this paper has In tho past two years attended ton con
ventions for tho dovclopmenl of Oregon. (At his own oxponso.)
It pinkos him tired to boo moro dopnrtmonts of this stato government
taxing tho stnto treasury for sums like twenty to fifty thousands dollars
that DO NOT MEAN ANYTHING FOK TIIK DEVELOPMENT OP ORE
GON. Wo supposo such thluga must bo but wo really bollovo It would bo
wiser to cut down this ononnoun won of oniclallsm and do nomothlng
for tho development of Oregon with public money.
An Immigration bureau would bo worth spondlng a llltlo monoy up
on IN AN INTELLIGENT MANNER.
Cnnndn In spondlng hundreds of thousands of dollars getting Immlgra
tlcn from nbroad and right dlroot from the United States.
Tho lower houso has voted down I ho bill to stop gambling at tho stato
fair grounds mid should bo willing to LIST TIIK PROCEEDS OP TIIK
POOL-HHLLING AND IIOIIHK RACES go to bring immigration Into the
stato.
o
STEALING DEMOCRATIC TIIUNDKH.
Bonfttors Tom Kay nnd I)r. Hmltli, of Mnrlori, have put some of the
Dumoomtlo friends of tho taxpayer out of luminous.
When men Ilka Caldwell nnd Miller, of Linn, will stand back and heel
tnlo to follow In tho reform traoks whore tho Marlon county mtu lead
SOMETHING HAH GONE WRONG.
As ono of the reguuta of tho state university Ronntor Miller, of I. Inn,
may have to stand for tho whole "Higher Education Program."
In ordor to secure tho quarter of n million that thu U. of O. wants
1111 MAV IIAVK TO HWALIjOW ALL TIIK NORMAL KUHOOIi OHAPI'S.
It will be funny to boo how Miller will hnndlu that and how men like
Kay and Hmllh will iiinko n square stand for nil reforms.
Indications nre that some more of the Demoorntlo senators hnve got
thouisolvos TANGLED I'P IN TIIK LOGROLLING COM II INK.
Jt Is certain that In fighting tho clerkship gratis nnd other grnfta so
far tho Uopubllca,n senators from Mnrlon havo oujmntohed the Democrn
tic reformers of the pest.

It is acknowledged that building t he portage all a J
falls of tho Columbia HAS REDCKI) HATI-JJ I-OK ALL LA&TLK oiu.
aThot cost the stato 3C5,000, and there has been no murmur on tho
part of tho taxpayers. ..... n ntt
Dut when tho stato Is asked to do something to take the tolls off a
farming region that produces four times a . mucl, , frcdgl as Eastern Oro
gon THEN THE HOWL A1I0UT HIGH TA.M.S GOES VI .
Fifty cents a ton and 25 cents on each passenger Is the the toll now
collected nt tho falls of tho Willamette by a prlvato corporation.
When a ulll Is Introduced to make tho locks free all tho Portland dole
gntlon howl "NO."
Vet when Governor Chamberlain told the Portland Chamber of Com
morco nt their annual banquet that an open Willamette was just as Im
portant to Portland as to tho Wilinmotto valloy thoy howled their heads
Tholr momorlos nro vory short. Portland is to havo water, water,
wator. Tho fodoral govornmont can't do too much to GIVE PORTLAND
DEEP WATEU TO THE OCEAN A.N I) A NAVIGAIILE COLUMUIA TO
LEWISTON.
It was Portland's domnnd that the state spond $306,000 to opon tho
Columbia. Portland aska JG5.000 more to oxtond tho portago railroad
on tho IMg Eddy.
Thnt Is all right, but tho Willamette valley farmors and THE PEOPLE
OP WKSTKHN OHKGON, HK D D. That Is tho munlfostntlon of tho
Portland hog over und over.
When will Portlnnd brondon out nnd cense asking tho wholo stato to
light Portland battlos and iiinko Portland appropriations, nnd thon whon
the bone and sinew of tho land that mnkes Portland what It is, asks for
aid, TIIKV AUK GIVKN TIIK HOUSE LAUGH.
Portland wants a railroad commlsilon to light tho bnttles of tho lum
ber trust and thu Jobbors nnd mnnufartiirlug organizations with tho rail
roads centering there.
Would Portland uso that railroad commission POU ANYTHING KLSK

H Portlnnd wnnta that kind of a club let Portlnnd roprosentntivos
oeuse to light opening thu Willamette river.
This Is a square deal, gentlemen, AND YOU MUST GIVE AND TAKE.
You cannot hog tho wholo earth and at tho same time reftiso to let the
other portions of the utato develop In a rational mannor and along the
lines of the least ruslstnucu.
NO CHANGES IN TKXTIIOOKS.
Unless there is an absolute nocosslty there should be no laws nt this
aeailon for free text-hooks In the public schools.
There may bo one or two books could be chaored or droppod to ndvnn
tuge out or thu present text-book adoption. lll'T NO GKNEIIAL CHANGE
SHOULD DK'.MADK IIYTIIK LEGISLATl'HK.
The children have barely got usedto the present school books. Tho
families have barely got nil tho children supplied with them. The tonch
rs of Oregon have barely got mod to thu hooks SO THAT TIIKY OAN
TIUCH I'ltOM Til KM INTKLLIGKNTLY, when up Jump a lot of ohoap
book agents and propose all kinds of changes In the text-book laws nnd
In the text-books.
If any large number of the teachers of the state llnd any of the present
text-hooka Impractical and dliflciilt to teach aud hard for the children to
get their lessons out of. IT MIGHT UK WOltTII WHILE Tt) HKAlt

Hut the school hook agents, the school machine that makes a living
working the school machinery of the state from a political standpoint,
should nut dictate the policies of the state.
We all know what they did to tho state WHEN TIIKV WKHK IN CON
TltOli. They sold the public schools for a moss of pottage TO A TKXT
HOOK TIll'ST THAT .MADK TIIK LAWS, furnished inferior books at
high prices, aud tyrannized over tho whole teaching profession. We
want no more on that line, aud tho roprosentatlvoe of the people should
be on their guard.
