There's a heap of satisfaction In a trouble If you gvin If you keep your nerve In action And you wear a lifted chin. There's a joy In doing some thing That you've never done be fore. So don't be a deaf and dumb thing, Chance is knocking at your door. ' When Mayor Rose was here to lec ture in behalf of the home rule asso ciation not long ago he quoted Theo dore Roosevelt in support of his con tention that with respects to the li quor question "the power that must enforce the law should make the law." It appears to be good logic. If it is then the mayor and the city council should draft the ordinance that is to regulate the saloon business within this city. They are the people up on whom will fall the task of enforc ing that ordinance. It is also timely to remurk that the city officials will find the proper en forcement of the law to bo their greatest task. It Is easy to draft lows. It takes vigor and backbone to enforce them. iAULY CHRISTMAS SHOPPING. Down and out, there's fun in rising, . Fun in facing heavy odds.

TO ADVERTISE OREGON. A NEEDED CRITICISM. Returning from a trip to Chicago, John M. Scott, assistant general pas senger agent for the O. R. & X. has offered some timely criticism of Ore gon boosting methods: "Oregon is giving too much atten tion to apple-growing to the exclu sion of its numerous other worthy industries," said Mr. Scott. "People in the East are gaining the Idea, and erroneously, that we don't produce anything but apples here. ' They haven't been told that Oregon is one of the greatest grain, small fruit, timber and livestock states in the union. "Our constant exploitation of the apple industry, with the high prices that of necessity prevail for good ap ple orchards, is actually scaring away the settler of small means. "We should tell Eastern people more of the land that can be bought in the state at from $25 to $100 an acre, of the timber resources and of the opportunities to make money with an investment of a small amount of capital. In our enthusiasm over the apple w-e have woefully neglected some of the resources that are en titled to their proportion of attention." The East Oregonian believes Mr. . Scott right in this matter Eastern people reading of our country might well conclude that Oregon offers no inducements to others than apple growers. As a matter of fact this -state is rich in opportunities for men of all callings. Our resources are not limited even to agricultural and horticultural lines. We have open ings for the small manufacturer as well as for the small farmer. We have work for workingmen and good investments for capitalists. Why not let the world know we have extensive- resources. That Governor-elect Oswald West is alive to the advertising needs of Oregon is indicated by his declaration that he will favor an appropriation of $20,000 for a book setting forth the climatic conditions of Oregon and 'the resources of this state. A few years ago some work along I this line was done by the state con iservation commission. A booklet was ! issued containing valuable data with reference to rainfall, altitudes, stream i flows, temperatures, etc. It was in formation of great value to those who are working for the further settle ment and upbuilding of the state. The state government can well af ford to lend reasonable assistance to the cause of a greater Oregon. WORTH CONSIDERING. Just prior to the last city election it was difficult to get good men to run for office. Most of tho officials who were chosen at that time were brought into the race under protest. In one instance a councilman who was elect ed declined to serve and his position had to be filled by appointment. At this time the position of ex-CouncIl- man A. 1 Knight Is vacant because Mayor Murphy has so far been unable to find a good man to take the place. Is It not possible this situation Is due to the fact that we ask our city officials to do much work and suffer much headache for nothing? Uma tilla connty seldom has trouble get ting men to run for county positions. Usually there are plenty of good men available and the salaries paid are Hot large either. Perhaps It would work for tho gen- Pendleton Is the most centrally lo cated of all eastern Oregon cities. It has 22 passenger trains running in and out of the city daily and it has hotel and restaurant accommodations possessed by no other small city in the northwest. Will not these con siderations be of some weight when the state board decides upon a loca tion for that branch asylum? How would it do to make the city prisoners sweep the cross walks? It I !-.ar'l to find some of the walks be cause of the mud which now covers them. Dr. Cook says he may have been mistaken through being half crazed by the exposures of the frozen north. Again It may be he Imagined he need ed the money.

Every man, like every corporation, thinks he Is entitled to special priv ileges. If a man choosrs to wear side whiskers, he should abide by the con sequences. The price quotations on alienated affections are usually a good deal blow par value, Tou are not fair to your feet If your shoes have to be "broken in" before they are comfortable. So many times the man with a Great purpose in life doesn't stand any chance to accomplish it. The average letter of recommenda tion doesn't mean much. The man who writes It usually does so in order to get rid of the man who asked for It. Colonel Roosevelt says he has noth ing to say. It's a pitty he didn't an nounce that determination before too much talking caused so much trou ble. About the only excitement In At chison today Is this: A man wlio was lately operated on, appeared on the streets, and people fear he Is out too soon. No man who doesn't do more work than his wife can hope to make a big success in life. Kver know a really successful man whose wife worked as hard as he did? It sometimes happens that the slouch Is as proud of his slovenly ap pearance as the fob Is of his glad rags. And the pride of the slouch Is about the worst variety. When a man has a heated argu ment with his wife, and presents his side of the case In what he believes to be a perfectly fair way, she says: "I'd be ashamed!' As though no Real Man would any such a thing to a lady. Big Reductions on Suits and Overcoats There are Exactly Twenty Trading Days Before Christmas.
