THE APRIL GIRL.
Ill tho morning call mo early, call mo early, mother dear,
.For tho whlrly, pearly, twlrly April "beautiful" Is here.
'Tuck my feet In goloshes with tho dawnlng's first faint flush,
And I'll haaten forth a-wadlng and parading In tho slush.
Whllo the airy snowllakcs sprinkle on my fairy, blue-tipped nose,
f.Aiid tho sleet taps, tinkle-tinkle, on nfy gauzy Easter clothes.'
Oh, I lovo April, mother, whon the mercury shoots down,
And tho blizzard's Uttlo brother comes careering through tho town;
Whon ono'a modish Easter bonnet, with Its smart Inverted brim, '
A'nd a market garden on It, from the apex to tho rlm,
Looks, boneath tho sifting, drifting shifting snow of ono brief day,
Llko broiled lobstor served with croam sauce, or tomato soup frappo.
Let the morbid mollycoddle by tho radiator stew;
Ab for me I'm going to toddle up onDralnstorm avenue,
Whoro tho motor cars aro sneezing In the lowering, gloworlng dark,
And ono hears tho robins freezing In tho purlieus of tho park.
Whoro tho trees, In forms fantastic, bow boneath tho straining storm,
.And tho weather Hag sarcastic, signals: "Wednesday, fair and warm."
ovory-
Oh! It's April, April, mother, tfnd lt'B gontle, balmy spring,
Through tho knee-deop snowdrifts omothor fiathouso, Btrcet and
thing;
Though tho skies are not tho bluest, and ono could not call It hot,
DrosB mo In tho poek-a-boo-cst raldlant raiment that I'vo got.
.And whon I'm gone romombor tho refrain of that glad song,
"In November or Dccombor Summortlmo Will Come Along."

THE PEACE CONGHESS.
temperance kept looking directly nt him and he knew that he was mak
ing a personal application to him, and he resented It.
Moreover, ho said that most of the largo audience kept smiling and
enjoying tho predicament that tho preacher was putting him In, and that
made him fighting mad, and he wasn't "goln to let no preucher hold him
up as a horrible example."
The preacher on the contrary was able to provo that he had never
seen tho man before, and did not know him, and had no reason to bellovo
that what ho said on temperance had any personal application to tho
oysterman, and members of tho congregation testified that tho smiles
noticed on their faces were smiles of approval at tho statements of the
minister, and nt the telling blowa tho was administering to tho drink
ovil.
In Bhort, tho oysterman was another victim of a pricked conscience,
only ho wouldn't take tho lesson home, but wanted to fight tho man who
even by prccopt and exhortation wanted "to interfere with my personal
liberty."
Ho had tho right to drink all tho Intoxicating liquors ho wanted to,
nnd ho was not going to have any sky pilot lntcrfereing with his right
not to his face, anyway.
IF PREACHERS WANT TO PREACH AGAINST EVILS THEY
SHOULD E CAREFUL TO PREACH AGAINST THOSE WHICH NONE
OF THE MEMBERS OF THEIR CONGREGATION INDULGE IN.
Tho fact that this means no preaching at all, wouldn't affect many of
tho sinners who fill tho contribution baskets with tho blggesta wads of
money, however.

It would bo Inviting disaster for u mnn who has a thlof for a neighbor
to leave his door unlocked at nights, and bo long, urged tho Prosldont,

-Imslrf Is Imposslblo.
Tho Proflldont, however, showed that much Is poBslblo toward tho at
tainment of tho end Bought, and his ndvlco to tho congress was evident
ly sound.
RoproiiuntatlvoH from all parts of tho English-speaking world wore
.present and every phaso of tho ponco question was discussed.
Tho result cannot bo otherwise than bonellclnl.
It must not bo forgotton, howovor, that ponce congresses and similar
tgnthorlugH fall of their 'purposo uuIohs they glvo to tho rock-bottom
work of Investigation a now llfo or Impulse.
Wo mean by this tho promotion of education, religion nnd sclonco by
each nation.
That govornmont which Is doing tho most for tho olovatlon of Its own
people, making tlium a blutwlng to mankind, rnthor than a monaco, nnd
Inculcating tho spirit of tho golden rule, Is uIbo doing tho most for tho

He I. for one thing a Msclplo of the Kooaevalt school, and would fol

There Is miaou to believe also that ho, In the porfornmnco of his duty,
would uxori'Uo that tact wliloh count h for bo much In doallng with men
nnd In trammeling the public business, the laok of whloh In Mr. Itooso
volt has made the career of tho hitter at tho White House somewhat tu
multuous. That Prcwldont Uocwovelt Is putting Mr. Taft forward os his choleo
thoro Is Uttlo reason to doubt. Thufight botwoon Taft and Fornkor in
Ohio Ih tho first skirmish In thu gonoral campaign that is to onsue.
If Mr. Tuft It suuaassriil in his hoiuu Htate ho will havo won a prostlge
and -vantage point that will enable him to pursue his courso with court,
donee. '
In llghUi .for presidencies, as well as for lessor considerations, the
man who draws first blood Is nsAoolutsd In tho popular mind as tho ulti
mate winner,
Tho opposition is busy olroulntlns a report that Mr. Itoosovolt Is ad
vancing Mr. Taft as a decoy, and that ho has'an ulterior motive tho se
miring of another term for himself.
But no utterance made by the Prosldent affords a basis for this ns.
Humptlon, and tho whole proceeding Is doubtless conceived for campaign
purposo.
However, TIIKHK IS NO DOUBT WHOEVHU MAY BK THE CANDI

Tho battle will bo fought betweon those who opposso and those who

Porltnnd Telegram: Judge II. L.
Donson, of Klamath county, wouldn't
rofuso tho Republican nomination :
for governor of Oregon at tho pri
mary election, nohow, but ho Is mod
est in his pretensions. Ho isn't tank
ing any long, loud holler for it, but
says ho would like tho nomination If
it woro offered him.
This may bo Intorprotcd that ho
will muko tho raco, muybe. As much
ns ho would say this morning was
simply:
"I would llko to bo governor. I
don't deny It, but I guess It Is out
of tho question, lunsmuch as my
brother Frank Is sccrotary of Btato.
It would look ns If tho Donson fam
ily was trying to hog nil tho ofllco
If I ran for govornor. I don't think,
for thnt reason, that It would bo wlso
proper for mo to ask for such ' an
honor, so long as Frank holds hU
presont ofllco."
"And nftor that, what, Judgo?" ho
waB asked.
Judgo Uouson had a fnraway lool.
In his eye, as If ho saw far beyond,
In tho InBcriitnblo futuro, beauteous
vIbIous of tho governor's mansion,
but ho smiled and said:
"That's1 a good wayo 6ff yet.'"
Discussing tho long nnd critical
Illness of his brothor, Frank, Judgd
Uonson said:
"Wo fool very much encouraged
about his condition. IIo has loft San
Dlogo, whoro ho ha3 boon for some
1 1 mo. nnd when I hoard from him a
day of two ago, ho was at Los An
golas nnd said ho was fooling mud:
hotter. Ho had wastod away to a
more shadow, but has gained 2ft
pounds, nnd w. now hnpo ho Is out
of nil danger.
"In enso ho doos not return to Sa
lem to assume his duties na sccrotary
of Htato In tlmo for mo to go on tho
bonoh for tho May torm of court In
my district, I havo arranged with
Judgo Uurnott, of Marlon county, to

sldo whllo I will romnln in Snlom on
his bonoh, bo thnt I may bo ablo to
look after such work la tho ofllco of
soorotnry of state as may bo urgont
until Frank doos como back."
Wvor alnco Frnnk Donsou was

has been acting as socrotary of stnto
