Oh, there are other dreams In vastness of clouds and hid from thy sight That yet shall gild thy world with golden beams And shoot the shadows through and through with light. What matters one lost vision of a night? Let the dreams go. let the hope set: for there are other hopes That yet shall rise like new Btars In the sky. Not long a soul in sullen dark ness gropes Before some light is lent it from on high. What folly to think happiness gone by! Let the hope set. Let the Joy fade. For there are other Joys, Like frost-bound bulbs, that yet shall start and bloom; Severe must be the winter that destroys The hardy roots locked in their silent tomb, What cares the earth for her brief time of gloom? Let the Joy fade. . . . Ella Wheeler Wilcox. NOTHING Bt'T BOXES. 4 4 The Oregonlan twits democrats for making capital out of the Ballinger Plnchot controversy and says: "It is a crossing where democrats should top, look and listen. State conser vation is natural democratic doctrine and Plnchot is its foe." To the wind with "natural demo cratic doctrine" and with natural re publican doctrine too. There is not enough "natural doctrine" left in either party to "flag a handcar." The republican and democratic parties are both relics of an age that is dead and buried. The present political .alignment is farcial. What does it mean to say that a man is a repub lican? There are two kinds of re publicans,' the progressives or "In surgents" and the "regulars." There is as much difference between these classes as there ever was between republicans and democrats. What does It mean to say that a man is a demo crat? Usually that he Is a southern er er of southern descent. The re mainder, or the most of them anyway, are. democrats because they don't -want to be republicans. What the United States needs is a political shake-up a realignment We need to drop the prattle about the " -dusty, cobwebbed doctrines of by gone days and take up issues of the living present. The issues of today differ from those of any other era in our history. It Is natural they should. Yet we try to wear the same old po litical clothes. It is ludicrous. The doctrines of Gifford Plnchot if classified politically would not fit either the republican or democratic parties. Plnchot is an economist, not a politician. His theory is that the Lord intended the world for the ac commodation of all mankind, not for a tw people. He does not want to see the natural resources of the coun try monopolized and he is working In a practical way to prevent this. Whether the states or the national government should receive the money to be derived from the development of natural resources is a detail that may be settled later. The first thing to do Is to stop the plundering of the coal lands, water powers and timber or there will soon be none left. Naturally the antl-conervationiat would like to see the conservationists divided over the question of state or rational control. So papers like the Oregonlan drag forth the dry bones cf "fundamental party doctrines" In hopes that people will get to fighting over them. But those nes have been gnawed so long that there Is. no Juice left in them. People are not Interested now In the "fundamental doctrines" of either party. In the conservation Issue they- liavo a live stibji-ct one that pertains directly to the material welfare of the American people. Kilt It is an economic sub ject, not a political issue. It may become a political issue but if so the conservationists should form a new party entirely. They should not try to wear the musty robes of cither of the present parties. HELi; GET IT. When 1'eiuilcton gets the six miles of line the Washington-Oregon com pany proposes to build here and in the immediate vicinity this, city will have the start for a big traction sys tem. This city will be the base of the company's operations, so we are promised. The car service within the city and suburbs will aid Pendleton to grow beyond its present confines. There should be a big realty uplift as, soon as the line is Installed. Then when the company extends Its inter urban lines out into the different parts of the territory tributary to Pendle ton business will flow into Pendleton from many miles away. The addi tional power the company will bring to Tendleton should stimulate manu facturing. The company promises to give lower rates than we now secure. Furthermore the company will have an ample supply of power, something that is important too. At this time our power supply is insufficient.. The crming of the new power company with its first six miles of car service and the promise of interurban lines means much to Pendleton, The Im provement will bring many other good things in its train. Help make the Improvement possible. IS THIS WHY? Four workmen on the docks at Williamsburg have been sentenced to one year each in prison for manipu lating the scales so as to benefit the sugar trust. Another checker is to get his sentence later. The govern ment Is right after the "villians" that have been cheating the customs house. Hut where is the government tak ing criminal action against the "higher ups," against the owners of the sugar trust? Manifestly they are the men who profited by the crooked ness. It would be a cruel farce for the government to prosecute the dock laborers and allow the real culprits t go free or to escape with fines. With the money they stole from the customs house they can well afford to pay big fines. But perhaps this is why Wall street selected the attorney general for President Taft. Umatilla county is a big county and it has much improvement work to do. Especially is this true in the newer sections of the county. So it is nat ural that the annual expenditures of the county are greater than they were a few years ago. The present county levy, however, is not bad. A seven mill levy will not hurt anyone especially when land values are ad vancing and wheat is soaring around the dollar mark. 'A Pendleton man, Dan P. Sifiythe, has been honored by being chosen president of the interstate sheep san itary association. That association has important work to do and It Is complimentary to have a local man chosen to lead the same. It also strengthens our claims to being the greatest sheep center of the west. Binger Hermann 1s now on trial af ter many years of waiting. He was the honorable commlsslorter general of the land office. What will they be doing to Dennett five years from now? Pendleton needs a Workers Brigade that will do things and will only work the harder when obstacles are met. It is great weather for the coal dealer and likewise for those 'aristo crats who have hay to sell. The Boston public library has classified DT. Cook's book as fiction. That was a cruel thrust. i GIRLS HAVE A RIGHT TO OBJECT (Baker City Herald.) A communication has been ad dressed to this office calling attention to the lack of gallantry among Ba ked "City's young men. .Signing her self "A Baker Young Lady," this per son handles the situation in a very truthful manner, so thruthful, in fact that it will hardly be right to print the entire communication, as it would reflect on the raising given young men. She tells of play after play and dance after dance where the young men of this city march in like tin sol diers, paying little attention to the girls, except at the dances the ladies are asked to be partners for a walta or two-step and then are left to en tertain themselves as best they can. It becomes necessary for the girls, If they want any social enjoyment, to form a battalion of their own and plod through snow to the hall where the dance is being held, when Baker Is noted for its excellent cab service. And no one can deny the fact, but are not the girls to blame lu a great extent for existing conditions? For the past ten years women of marriageable a6 have in many in stances given away their Independ ence In order to meet young men and to be In their company. As a result a cold, indifferent independ ence has come over the boys and they feel to a marked degree that thev, instead of the 'fairer sex, should bo sought after. The only reason for this is that they are sought after. Sometimes to. the extent that the sit uation becomes ridiculous, and near friends of young ladles view the whole social problem with not a little alarm. If the young lady who has seen fit to write this communication will or- gunize nor inoy menus, pass sonic rigid rules and live up to thejn they will In a short time see the time-hon ored chivalry return In the opposite sex and the girls will be dealt with a tender, admiring manner which befits them and which they are really en titled to If they but keep their places. AESTH VLIA BVILDS ILMLHOAPS. Railway development In Queens land is being' vigorously pushed for ward, and large tracis of virgin coun try, will soon be opened up for settle ment. In his annual report the Com missioner for Railways states that the addition of 139 miles of lines opened during the year brings the total mile age to 3 4 its. while no less than It lines, aggregating 376 miles, are at present in course of construction. Alluding to the question of uni form gauge, the Commissioner points out that there are now 8596 miles of three-foot six-inch lines In Australia so that the adoption of either the Victorian or tho New South Wales gauge for the commonwealth would necessitate the alteration of over 12.- 000 miles of line In the other states. Last year the railways of Queensland earned H9.72 per cent on the capital expended on opened lines. This shows a slight decrease on the previous year. but the Commissioner points out that the Increase of expenditure at a greater rate than the Increase of rev- i enue is a result which many reason ably be looked for from the policy of pushing- railways ahead of close set tlement. A bill has been Introduced by the South Australian Government for the better protection and control of the aboriginal Inhabitants of the state. The administration is to be intrusted Aborigines Department, and the Treasurer is to be asked to supply funds for distributing blankets, cloth ing, provisions and other relief for the natives. It Is proposed to appoint protectors in various districts and to create preserves for the benefit of I the various tribes. Penalties are pro vided for any interference with the blacks, or their removal unless by 1 1 authority, while the supply of fire- l arms is made an offense. Exchange. FlNINti LATE Til EATERGOEKS. Cleveland has passed an ordinance fining any theater manager J100 who permits a. patron to take a seat while the curtain is up. Those who arrive after the first act has begun must wait until the end ,of the act before taking their scats or the house will be prosecuted. We doubt if any substantial good will come from such an ordinance. The decisions of courts In the east havo uniformly been to the effect that a theater is -a private enterprise and not a public Institution and that the managers may make such reasonable regulations as they please for con ducting it. Doubtless the ordinance will be thrown out by the courts, but the incident calls attention to a growing evil. Most persons are. very selfish in taking their pleasures. They forget how much their own conduct affects others. Those who come in late at the theater or opera and com pel persons already seated to stand and give passageway are guilty of so cial misdemeanors. It took a long time to establish the custom of re quiring women to remove their hats and it will probably take longer to make them prompt In attendance, but 'tis a. consummation devoutly to be wished. In the meantime, we might revert to the old time "curtain raiser" to make the main play thoroughly en joyable. Philadelphia Inquirer. Dance at German Hall.
