Only "hit the high places" as onward you go In pursuit of the things most worth while Don't wallow in quagmires of trouble and woe, But light up your path with a smile. Don't sit down and weep, think- ing only of sorrow, That's a narrow and one- sided view, Look forward and up to a brighter tomorrow There's a pleasant perspective for you. Let the sun rise and set, and let storms come and go; Xo matter howe're, you may feel. All things are transient our pleasure and woe Are merely a turn in life's wheel, Cora M. W. Greanleaf. IT IS VNDEKWAY. Senator LaFollette and Judge Ben Lindsey are together In urging pro gressive republicans and progressive democrats to stand back of "insur gent'' congressmen and senators re gardless of the old time party lines. In the last issue of LaFollette's Week, ly magazine the Wisconsin republican senator - and the Denver democratic Judge join forces. "It is not a question of republican doctrine or of democratic doctrine," say8 Senator La Follette. "It is a question of getting the right man elected to office. "For the issue today is nvt between parties. We are not engaged in a con test to determine whether democrat ic 'doctrine' or republican 'doctrine' shall prevail. It is a struggle between special privileges and public welfare. And gd citizenship demands that the people present a united front against the common enemy. Repub lican Aldrich and Democrat Foster unite for big business. Democratic Fitzgerald and Republican Cannon Join hands against the people. Whv not, thn, Mr. Progressive Democrat and Mr. Progressive Republican, stand together for the cause of popular government?" In a similar vein Judge Lindsey de clares that he considers it "the high est duty of a progressive democrat l. lend any strength he may have to the reelection of insurgent republi can.!." "The real struggle is not between the iwo old parties, as now consti tuted It is between the people and ITiviieges; and that contest is really I'f-twf-en these contending forceB vithin each of the old parties. There the struggle will go rn until one or the o'h-r is free. Intelligent and pa triot!? citizens will therefore vote for the man rather than for the party, bo nnt'tr what the politicians say. "We are on the eve of the fiercest R'.ruyzk- sine the civil war the new struzlft between human rights and I-ropor'.y rights, privileges and the Ieopie and in such a struggle it is a part of the conspiracy of confusion tiy the special interests to us- the slogan of party advantage against the man who rings true. To follow such a fiL-e trail Is not only the height of f I iy but it the height of trea son." There is significance in the spec tacle of these two men, both promi nent in their respective parties, standing side by side and urging vot t ra to ignore party line?. it fur nishes the most striking illustration y-t given of the far-t that a political realignment Is underway. How far thin process of readjustment will go remains to be seen. But if it follows ltn natural course It will continue un til the progressive republicans" and progressive democrats are merged In to a common party while the "stand patters" of both parties will flock tinder the standard of a conservative organization. IT WILL NOT PO. JAs pointed out by Rt-p. C. A. Bar rett, in an interview Saturday, the assembly plan is the old convention system resurrected in a more vicious form. In the old days each, precinct elected Its delegates to the county convention. If a delegate could not attend he could give his .proxy to nny man he chose to select. Under the assembly plan, as worked In Vnin tilla county, the people of the pre cincts had nothing to say about who should represent them as delegates to tin.' tonvontlon. The delegates were picked by the county central com mittee at a star chamber session. Nor could a delegate select a man to servs in his stead in the event he could not attend. The county chairman did that. Thus was the power of the in ner circle made complete. The as sembly scheme permits of bossism to a degree not dreamed of in the old days of machine rule. Xo wonder the assembly was manipulated and used to nominate a man who Is un satisfactory to the chief backers of the plan. Such an assembly will al ways be manipulated. It will always be "easy picking" for the shrewd and busy wirepuller. The scheme will not do. It has been tried and found wanting. If the republicans of Ore gc n are wise they will kick the whole scheme into the ditch and make nominations in free and open prim aries as called for by the laws of the state. AFTEll THE ' PILL." Americans as a rule are a liberal minded people and they are somewhat tolerant as to personal habits. Tet this country was founded by a stern people who crossed the Atlantic to Xew England for the sake of religious freedom. They held strict ideas as to morality.. In a more or less modified form the teachings of those old puri tnnnic heroes have been handed down through many fenerations They have been of wholesome effect. Just now this spirit is up in arms against a modern vice cigarette smoking on the pa"rt of the fair sex. It is a vice that has become prevalent in recent years and many thoughtful people are wondering what it will lead to. At this time it is confined fcr the most part to two classes the women of the underworld and the women of "high society." As long as confined to those classes little ob jection can be made. The world ex pects nothing from either class. But there Is fear on the part of the wo men who are leading the present cru sade that the use of "coffin nails" by society women will cause that habit to be adopted by working girls. So they are out to fight the habit and are trying to enlist Mrs. Xichola-? Longworth In the crusade. It will be interesting to note the outcome of the attempt. BRT LAND ALFALFA. Eastern Oregon farmers who wish to raise something aside from wheat will be interested in some tests made by Paris Gibson, of Great - Fails Mont. At that place the normal ra'.n fal is 14 inches per annum, practic ally the same as in Umatilla county. The following weights of hay are reported to have been produced with out irrigation by Mr. Gibson, in 1903. Each plot was one acre in extent and the entire product was weighed. The hay was weighed when in the usual condition for stacking and was not entirely dry. Canadian alfalfa (variegated). ". 505 pounds; sand lucern (variegate l, P. 423; Turkestan alfalfa.' 5,490; Wh'-eler alfalfa (variegated), 5.430; Nebraska dry land alfalfa, 4.700. These yields Indicate that when proper varieties of alfalfa are select f J that forage crops may be raised with good success in dry land selec tions. It is a good drouth resisting rrop because the roots penetrate the sf il very deeply. In some sections of the northwest the government, through thp interior department, is planning upon the re clamation of Indian lands. The val ur of the Indian land upon the Uma tilla reservation could be vastly en hanced by Irrigation and it should be feasible to Irrigate It. Those reports of bljr whnt yields read fine compare! with the tales of crop shortage received from nearly all other portions of the west. Those who were In the assembly j believe It wa alright. To be sure, i but there were not many there. Plug for Pendleton. MPPTivr. or two ahtists.

He look..,! with a pity that was almost horror at the lump of bread which the old man was now munching and felt Instinctively fr his purpose. Kven Hf his fingers touched it some thing about the fineness of the other's thin old profile moved him to caution before he offered alms. He moved along the bench and began a casually const-rvational investigation. "A fine day. monsieur." The old man admitted the truth of this statement in a small, sad voice. "And a heavenly spot," Jules went on. The other nodded and after he had swallowed with difficulty a large mouthful of dry bread, ventured the observation that it grow finer every year. "You speak as though you had known it long" angled Jules. "For nearly forty years, my young friend." "oh, most fortunate of mortals!" The old man looked up quickly as if in fear of a pleasantry, and said nothing. Jules explained himself. "My pro fession is such that I am, perhaps, more moved than another might be by the great beauty of the park at this season." "Your profession is ?" sked the old man in black. "I am an artist." The young man might have been announcing that he was a reigning sovereign. His statement had a singular effect on the cheerless little figure at the other end of the bench. The old man sat up straight, brushed the crumbs from his tie. pulled down his thread bare waistcoat, and offered his hand with a grand gesture. "Sir. we are comrades-at-arms. I too am an ar tist."

(Elgin Recorder.) A mere handful of republicans mostly La Grande men met In Grande last week and endorsed the as-fm'-'.y m?vement, which was hatch ed up by a few Multnomah county ma chine polticians. At the meeting held !n La Grande delegates were elected from Union county to the general assembly to be held in Port land. Elgin was favored by being given a representation of four dele gates, none of whom were present. Inquiry develops the fact that El gin was not represented in the La Grande meeting many others ditto and just how a few self-appointed politicians can get together and say who shall represent the various pre cincts at the state meeting Is beyond the comprehension of many. A local republican wonders at the peculiarity of the machine-like movement, for mnohln-"ike it is: and wonders how in the name of common sense where a few men from La Grande and one or two other precincts get the author ity to tell Elgin precincts who shall represent them in the assembly. Not even an Elgin proxy was in evidence at the meeting, yet the aggregation said that Elgin republicans wanted the assembly. Perhaps some of them do, but it 's evident there are a gVeat many who do nor. and will fight as-sembH- candidates t- a finish. Mrs Jagsby (welcoming Mr. Jag liv n daybreak Up all night again, eh?

We passed by many Islands, ereen with madow and forest, beautiful in the bright sunshine, but empty with th emptiness of death. A decade previously these Islands were throns ed with tribes of fisher folk; their villages s'udded the shores, and their !"ng canoes, planks held together with fibre, furrowed the surface of the lake. Then, from out of the depths of the O'liiffo forest came the dreadful scourgf- of the sleeping sickness, and smote the doomed people who dwelt beside the Victorian N:le. and on the coasts of the Nyanza lakes, .ml in the lands between. Its aarent was a biting fly, brother to the tsetse whose bite is fatal to domestic animals. This fly dwells in forests, besides lakes and rivers: and wherever it dwells riper th sleeping sickness came It v i found that man could- not live. In ;!: country, between, and along the shores of. the great lakes, two hun ilreil thousand people died In slow tor ment, before the hard-taxed wisdom and skill of medical science and gov ernmental administration could work any betterment whatever in the sit-i u ition. Men still die by thousands and the disease is slowly spreading :rit fresh districts. But it has prov ed possible to keep it within limits in the regions already affected; yet only by ab.-oiuiely abandoning certain dis triets and by clearing all the forest and brush in tracts which serve as Till IIll N milly no m-remlty for ib pi ivlog yourself of certain foods iM-canxr (lie .stomach 1 weak.

On the western shores of Victoria' Nyan.a, and in the Islands adjacent thereto, the ravages of the pestilance ' were such, the mortality It caused was so appalling, that the government was finally forced to deport all the sur vivors inland, to forbid all residence beside or fishing in the lake and with this end In view to destroy the vil lages and the fishing fleets of the peo ple. The teeming lake fish were for merly a main source of food supply to all who dwelt near by; but this has now been cut off, and the myriads of fish are left to themselves, to the host of water birds, and to the monstrous man-eating crocodib?s of the lake, on whose blood the fly also feeds, and whence it is supposed by some that it draws the germs so deadly to human kind.

Those who complain of or rail at missionary work in Africa, and who confine themselves to pointing out the undoubtedly too numerous errors of the missionaries and shortcomings of their flocks, would do well to con sider that even if the light which has been let In is but feeble and gray it has at least dispelled a worse than Stygian darkness.

COMPANY stantial ethical basis develop beyond i lie most priiAltlve stage they tend, notably in-middle and western Afri ca, to grow Into malign creeds of un speakable cruelty and immortality, with a bestial and revolting ritual and ceremonial. Even a poorly taught and Imperfectly understood Christian ity, with its underlying foundation of justice and mercy, represents an Im measurable advance on such a creed. Where, as In Uganda, the people are intelligent and the missionaries unite disinterestedness and zeal with com mon sense, the result is astounding, The majority of the people of Ugan da are now Christian, protestant or Catholic; and many thousands among them are sincerely Christian and show their-Christianity In practical fashion by putting conduct above ceremo nial and dogma. Most fortunately, protestant and Catholic seem now to work In charity together, and to show rivalry only In healthy effort against the common foe; there Is certainly enough evil in the world to offer a target at which all good men can di rect their shafts, without expending them on one another. We visited the Church of England Mission, where we were received by Bishop Tucker, and the two Catholic missions, where we were received by Bishops Hanlon and Stretcher; we, went through the cnurches and saw the schools with the pupils actually at work.
