THE IN VISIBLE PLAYMATE.
All day la the swing of his fancy, the lilt of his laughter, ho goes,
Whoso llfo l a gleam In tho sunlight, a Illy, a pearl and a rose;
And thoro toa phantom talking, with a phantom by his side,
Ho moves with a shadow playmate, togthor they romp and glide.
I hear through tho hours of his rdvol his llttlo tongue chatter away;
Alone, but not lonesomo, ho follws tho fairies that flit through tho day.
Ho shares with his dreams and his phantom his blocks and his drum and
his horn,
And ho .talks to his dear llttlo playmate, Invisible thero in tho morn.
They scorn such good comrades and friendly, and get on together so
woll;
Thoro'a novor a moment of quarreling and never a sorrow to tell;
Tho phantom docs Junt ns ho wants him, tho shadow plays everything
right
0 beautiful plyamntos that revel llght-hcartod in realms of light!
They plan and thoy ponder togethor, tho living locked arms with tho
dream;
Thoy sail on lnvlslblo waters and fish In a mako-bollovo stream;
Thoy tunn,ol for coal In dream mountains nnd fight in invlBlblo wars,
And thoy hldo in tho walls of their fortress when tho onomy's battery
roars.
All day in tho chlldhcart splendor, a lad of tho legions of fun,
With a llttlo InvlBlblo plnymato, talk?, on as thoy laugh In tho sun;
And, happy and hcr.rtfroo togothor,I loan and look down on them thoro
And dream of my own vanished playmates, doar phantoms that float
ovorywhoro!
Ay, tondor, InvlBlblo comrades, llko children of old nt our play,
Wo dnnoo In tho dova of tho morning and danco through tho dreams of
tho day;
And arm upon arm In tho sunlight, with- lnughtor and longing and
toars,
Wo movo llko nn army of Bha'dowj far down In tho valley of years.
THE PEOPLE BE D D.
That Is about the sizo of tho work of tho Oregon Textbook Commission
In Its recent adoptions.
THE COMMISSION HAD NO WARRANT FOR CHANGING ALL THE
BOOKS AT THE EXPENSE OFTI!fi PEOPLE.
School ofllclals did not demand It; teachers did not demand It; no
body asked for changes. '
Tho Granges and somo labor organizations passod resolutions oppos
ing changes.
Tho Stato Grange, representing THE FARMING POPULATION OF
THE WHOLE STATE, RESOLUTED AGAINST CHANGES.
Then on top of this condition of things tho commission overthrow all
Its own work nearly, and forced new books on tho people.
Tho now books will cost $0.14 per child for tho common school
course, a reduction of GO cents on eight years.
BUT THE IMMEDIATE EXPENSE FOR EACH FAMILY SENDING
CHILDREN' TO SCHOOL WILL BE FROM FIVE TO TEN DOLLARS.
Tho Oregonlan nlono of all tho stato papers eulogizes tho adoption,
and dofonds Imposing this expense on tho common people.
Its editor dominated tho Textbook Commission, and tho peopl must
pay tho bills, and bo told It Is for their good.
THE PIONEEERS ENDORSE WALKER.
THE RAILROAD SITUATION IN OREGON.
No wonilor Tho Dnvolopmont Convention nt Cottngo GroVo Is going to
innko Hpolcal Inquiry why thoro Is not moro railroad construction in
Orogon.
Thoy aro going to nsk, as a buslnoss proposition, why hundreds of
miles of now rnlrondB aro being built In stntcs all around us AND WORK
ON PROMISED EXTENSIONS IN OREGON HAS BEEN PRACTICAL
LY SUSPENDED.
Tho business mon of Wostorn Orogon nro going to provo by statistics
that thoro Is moro tralllc In Orogon than tho rnllroada already hero can
hnndlo.
It Is nald that Hnrrlmnn Is spending millions forcing n now lino from
Portland to Sonttlo, whero thoro nro alrcndy four transcontinental
Unco, all for tho purposo of Increasing trnfllc.
It would waoin as though a rnllroad mnnngor HAVING THE ENORM
OUS BUSINESS AND PROPERTY INTERESTS IN OREGON THAT
HAHH1MAN HAS WOULD hnvo tho moat vital lncontlvo to tako tho lend
In tho development of tho commonwealth,
That Is what wo havo boon told and hnvo bollovcd for Bovoral years.
BUT IT HAS NOT MATERIALIZED AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC
IS INCREDUIOUS.
It Is true, tho Lytlo rond Is bolng pushod from Forost Grove to-THIa-mook,
Bald to bo a Harrlmnu project.
Tho extension from Drain tp Cooh nay la drngglng nnd tho rnllroad
fiom Natron to Klnninth Fnlln and Ontario la sleoplng.
All ofTnrtH to IntoroHt 1 1 1 1 1 or tho Goulds In constructing rntronds In
to Orogon hnvo fulled.
TIioho conflicting ayntomu hnvo mndo tholr pono with tho king of all
transportation inngnntos.
Tho Wostorn Puultlo nnd tho Groat Northorn will not Invndo Orogon
territory and four-fifths of tho stato will Ho fallow.
THE EMBARGO ON CONSTRUCTION EXTENDS TO CAPITAL
THAT MIGHT GO INTO ELECTRIC LINES.
If tho poopM of Orogon want steam or olcctrlo railroads built thy
will havo to build thorn, thomsolvos.
Part of tho work of tho Cottago Grove Dovolopmont Construction

ERATION WITH THE PEOPLE.
The people aro not ready for stato owuorshlp of rnllronds If that
woro dojlrablo.
Tho oo-oporatlvo pl?.n of building mid owning railroads la alone loft
opou to iwt rotuilta.
ROHEBURG AND COOS BAY CAN BE CONNECTED IN THAT WAY
BY HAIL.
Tho puoplo of Cottngo Grove aro moving to got mi outlet for tho
othur cml of the WlllumoUo Valloy.
Saluin will got no furthur transportation fnollltlog until tho buslnos
mon of thtu olty tako hold and help themselves to olootrlo linos.
o
WOMEN AND WORK.
As a bit of practical Information that will do for a mamont's rofloc
tlon tho Into report of tho national census bureau on woman at work In
tho United Status will nnawor.
It la for no Intor period than tho your 1900, but tho data up to that
tlm give us a good Idea of tho helpfulness of tho wonkor sox and tho
general activity of woman In tho stonier pursuits.
To begin with, In tho TWENTYYEARS IMMEDIATELY PRECED
l.(l THE YEAH MENTIONED THE NUMBER OF WOMEN WORKERS
HAD MORE THAN DOUBLED.
What thoy havo dono In tho nix succeeding years la a matter of con
Joaturo, but Is not d I Moult to forosoo, statistic bolng wanting, that
tho number of women workers nnd tho variety of tholr occupations
havo grotitly Increased.
Many nrtloloa have boon written on women In tho gainful occupations,
nnd tholr t repasses on tho oxolualvo Hold of man; but thoro Is no gain
saying tho fact that women hnvo dovolopud groat onorgy nnd that tho
number of them demonstrating flrst-rato business ability Is by no menus
limited.
AllOW ONTM'IKTH OF THE TWEXTY-THREE AND A HALF MIL
LIONS OF WOMEN IN THE UNITED STATES WERE WORKERS IN
J 000.
in tlw suocoodlng six years that numbor no doubt has Increased con
slornbly; and womon thou wore represented In all but nlno of tho bread
winning ocoupatlous.
Somo of tho positions they filled had been considered exclusively
mnsoullno.
Tho multifarious occupations In this country belug considered, thero
nro somo that nro particularly assigned to men and somo others to wo
mon; but In tho leamod professions womon can now with llttlo pre
judice, nud In business they aro Progesslns Just as far as tho capaci
ties of tho Individual will permit.
No mattor what wo may think about It, womon have "com to stay"
as bromlwlHHOrs, AND THKY MU6T 1JWCOUE MORJU AND MORS THE

Tho election of Cyrus H. Walker, president of tho Linn County Pion
eers' Association, was a flno ondo.somont.
Mr. Walker has led In tho fight tosocuro tho referendum against THE
STATE UNIVERSITY TAX OF $125,000 PER ANNUM.
At tho great rounlon at Brownsville, with several thousand people in
attondanno, this grand pioneer was publicly honored.
His light on tho higher education graft In this stato, that has been
workod up to tho $600,000 notch for tho biennial term, HAS NOT MADE
HIM UNPOPULAR WITH THE PIONEERS AND FARMERS.
Tholr light Is not a light on tho Stato University. It Is a fight to put
a limit on tho graft that has been worked In collossal proportions.
It will havo ft) stop somewhere, and tho people find It only augmented
by tholr representatives, and so must fight their own battles.
Mr. Walker Is not tho keenest politician In Orogon. HE MAY NOT
BE ABLE TO HOLD HIS OWN IN A TRAINED HIGHER EDUCATION
LOBBY ' i
But ho Is an honest man. Ho Is not a participant In tho tainted
monoy combination that rldo on tho nooks of tho taxpayer.
Mon llko Walker, Palmor, Pearco, Ford, Waldo and othors may bo
called crazy by tho organs of tho associated charities, but that Bottles
nothing.
When tho pooplo got their Innings they will pass Judgment on tho Im
pulses that movo mon, and It will bo found their impulses aro right.
Every Mini His Own Doctor.
Tho avorago man cannot afford to
employ a physician for ovory slight
allmont or Injury that mny occur In
his family, nor enn ho afford to nog
loct them, as so slight an Injury as
tho scratch of a pin has boon known
to causo tho loss of a limb. Honco
ovory man must from nccosslty ho his

All tho big lumber companies of
