With her spear-points two abreast, Each purple helmet stilting 'Nenth a tiny golden crest. The pussy-willow's purring, Wakeful, 'neath her downy cares, So not a catkin, stirring, Could be stolen unawares. r- The brooklet, tired of toying With the tears frail clouds have shed, Is teasing and annoying Pearly pebbles in her bed. All nature takes to striving; Not a soul but feels the birth Of mirth and music riving The great heart of Mother Earth. Margaret X. Goodnow in Chi cago Record-Herald. IT IS A GOOD LAW. Some newspapers of the state seem to be sorely alarmed because it has been discovered that under the cor rupt practices act all political matter for which newspapers receive pay must be plainly labelled as paid ad vertising and must be signed by some responsible party. ' Section 33 of the act provides: "No publisher of a newspaper or other periodical shall insert either In Its advertising or reading columns any paid matter which Is designed or tends to aid, injure, or defeat any candidate or political party or or ganization, or measure before the peo ple, unless it is stated therein that It Is a paid advertisement, with the name of the chairman or secretary, of the names of other officers of the political party or other organization Inserting the same, or the name, of some voter who is responsible there for, with his residence and street number thereof if any, appear In such advertisement in the nature of a signature." In the view of the East Oregonian this is a proper provision and this pa per fails to see why publishers should object, to the law. It does not abridge the freedom of the press as some maintain. Under the law newspap ers are free to advocate the adoption of such measures and the election of such candidates as they see fit The t law merely requires that when politi cal articles are paid for such fact must be made known. It is only right that this should be made known. The East Oregonian for one will be very glad to comply with the law. All political matter for which pay Is received will be marked as "paid ad vertising." As a matter of fact 'this paper had decided to adopt this rule even before attention was called to the requirement of the law. This paper ha no secrets to conceal from the public. It desires that peoplo should be able to distinguish adver tising mnHer from regular news mat ter and editorial expressions. The advertising space of the EaBt Ore gonian Is always for sale to legitimate patrons. The editorial Influence of the paper Is not for sale. A CROOKED GAME. In many ways the assembly scheme is like a lottery. There are some, prizes that will be given out and the game is beln? loudly touted by Its promoters. To the uninitiated It looks good. "Someone Is going to draw a nomination and it will be me because If I am a very distinguished man," things the ambitious would-be poli tician. He is encouraged by the touts to take this view of the matter. But when the time comes Mr. Am teur Politician will find that all he knew about the affair could have teen placed In his left eyHe will linrn that the game was 'Tixed" and that the prixes have been taken by a few who were in on the fixing. He will go home with a dark brown taste In. his mouth. "The forlornness of the cow county candidate who thinks he can come down to the assembly and got a fat job is one of the gaieties of this assem bly business," says the Oregon Jour nal. "When it Is all over and the ln- l!a0jsiJe managers have all the pie, he will go home with that tired feeling that Is always the lot of the penitent and plucked. After he has long rumi nated in vain on how it was done, It will slowly dawn on hiiu that the only use there was for an assembly was to "fix" the ticket, and that if there wasn't to be any "fixing." then what was the use of an assembly? "And, as he tries to forget his late dreams of a public career with a big salary "nI his applauding country men; and as he wearily and with njany a sigh reaches out to take up again the dull routine of private life, he will then remember the signifi cant renvirk of the up state assem blyite, "What in h 1 is the use of holding an assembly if we cannot handle it?" Then this poor but beautifully sheared lamb of politics, will see a great light, this gold brick ed victim of the old, old convention same will realize that the Portland machine with Its Coxey's army and pie v,i,ntru nn.l onff snnn snatrhera had ! things "fixed" all the time, and t"hat in his late aspirations, he had about as much chance for survival as a snowball in Sahara." The moral Is this, if you want to secure an office go out and run for It under the open primary; don't try the assembly game.. You will find It a poor gamble. IS IT A SCHEME? What is back of the controversy be tween the coal miners and operators? It is announced that 300,000 miners in 12 states have "ceased work" pend ing a settlement of a wage dispute, The. tenor of statements Issued by leaders on both sides of the contro versy indicate that there' are no seri ous differences between the employ ers and their men. All say that the disputes will be adjusted. The whole affair looks like a scheme wherein someone expects to make some money handling the available supply of coal. If such is the case those who are en gineering the deal are "playing with fire." John Bull is excited because the first German squadron is to have a base from which it may descend up on England "at a moment's notice." Rut why should Germany want to have a fight with England? After the C). R. & N. motor car gets ir.to operation the city limits of Pen dleton will extend westward as far as Umatilla. It Is possible that Roosevelt felt he should try to make up for the long silence of the Sphinx. Walla Walla couples still flock to this city jvhen they desire to enter the wedlock state. What a crooked lot those Pittsburg councllmen must be. If -you have not cleaned up your premises yet do so tomorrow. Rake up the dirt in the streets as well as within your yards. Did you get fooled? EMBARRASSING. "Dear me. Tommy," remarked the young man who had been calling five years, "this is a f;ne thick rug in front of the 'sofa." . "Yes, pa gave it to sis," confided Tommy. "Very nice of him, I am sure." "Yes; he did it on your account, though." "My account?" "I should say so. Pa said he was afraid you were getting cold feet and But just then a small boy was grabbed by a blushing young lady and locked in the basement. Chicago News. TIME WELL SPENT. "Why spend three years cultivating your voice if you don't intend to go on the operatic stage?" "For the same reason, I suppose, that you've spent fifteen or twenty years in cultivating a discriminating taste for alcoholic beverages and yet don't Intend to go Into the saloon business."

The sale of the average popular book usually shrinks within a year. Few works of science, particularly In this day of eager research and start ling discovery, have permanent value. A medical text-book of two decades ago is absolutely valueless save as a literary curiosity. But there is one book that always sells, and of which a single publication house .In New York has actually Issued over eighty million copies. That, of course, is the Bible. Mr. Day Allen Willey.

( ' The publication house referred to. It is almost needless to say. Is the fa- mous Bible House, which continues to Issue books at the rate of over a minion a year. It Is interesting to learn that they are printed in over fifty languages ranging fnom Araphahoe to Visayan although Including the foreign sta tions of the society, which was found ed nearly a century ago, the whole or some portion of the Bible is printed in about four hundred tongues. These books, it will be understood, are really sold, and It may doubtless gratify many Christians In this com- inonwealth to learn that. New York aside, it has been purchasing more than any one other state in the Union. In 1907, .for instance, 30.000 went to Massachusetts, 10,000 to California, 105.000 to Illinois, 135.000 to Pennsyl vania. Mr. Willey says that most of the books sent to this state were wanted In the mining and manufac turing districts,' and he adds: "Al though the society has sent Bibles to Pennsylvania for over a half century, the sales have bpen increasing." ' Philadelphia Press. Xl'RB-IXS OF FACT. Crime in the United Kingdom costs the state about J30.000.000 a year. The Gospel is preached in 30 differ ent languages in the United States. It is computed that 67 people die and 70 are born every minute. A cluster of rods replaces the fa miliar mantle in a new English incan descent gaslight. All over Europe farmers' associa tions exist for the handling of farm products commercially. The average weekly income of what is known as "a poor family" in New York City Is $11 30, and the families average five and two-fifths persons. A Minnesota inventor has been granted a patent on a cash register that carries a phonograph to an nounce the figures indicated when the keys are pressed. At the present rate of growth the borough of Brooklyn, with its popula tion of about 1.240.000, will have a population of 2,910,000 In 20 years from now. A one-half horse-power .electric motor, driven by a lighting current and directly connected with an air pump, is a new convenience for in flating automobile tires. ! A putty knife, with a reservoir in the handle, from which putty can be squeezed by pressing a button, ha3 been invented as a time-saver for glaziers by a Minnesota man. To keep the rivers of the country free from snags and other impedi ments to navigation, the government maintains a fleet of 30 steamboats, and spends $500,000 a year. ' Some modern artists claim, con trary to general belief, that the. pret tiest sunset cobirings are to be seen in the cities, owing to the dust In the air. The open, country, however, af fords the greatest sweep of the sky. Even Solomon with all his wisdom made some mistakes.'

When tlia blood .becomes overcharged with uric acid it continually grows weaker, more acrid, and poorer in nourishing qualities. The nerves, muscles and joints, instead of receiving their necessary nutriment from the circulation nro gradually filled with the sharp uratic impurity with which the circulation is loaded, and the pains and aches of Rheumatism are the natural result. No amount of rubbing, cr the application of external med icines can have any direct and curative effect on the blood; the most to be expected from such treatment is temporary relief from the pains and aches. There is but one way to cure Rheumatism, and that is to cleanse the blood of the uric acid impurity. S. S.

Winston Churchill, the novelist de scribed at a dinner In New York the difference between romanticism and realism In fiction: "To make my meaning clearer." he ended, "I will take the case of a young man and girl sweethearts.
