Seek not afar for beauty. Lo! it glows In dew-wet grasses all about thy feet; In birds. In sunshine, childish faces sweet; In star and mountain summits topped with snows. Go not abroad for happiness. For, see! It Is & flower that blossoms by thy door; Bring love and justice home, and then no more Thou'lt wonder in what dwell ing joy may be. Dream not of noble service else where wrought; The simple duty that awaits thy hand Is God's voice uttering a di vine command; Life's common deeds built all that saints have taught. In wontfer workings or some bush aflame Men look for God, and fancy Him concealed, But in earth's common things he stands revealed, While grass and Mowers spell out His name. Minot J. Savage. - A PEOPLE'S MEASURE. It is reported that some senators would like to repeal the law passed providing for the eastern Oregon branch asylum. One of the leaders In this scheme seems to be Joseph of Multnomah county, who sets forth the wonderful argument that the branch asylum had a majority of only 8000 at the election. Therefore, the peo ple do not want it. Such logic as that would kill a cat ' ! -1 There will be trouble and lots of It If a move is actually made to re peal the branch a.ylum bill. That law was enacted by the people and It must stand. It is not the proper function of the legislature to repeal an act passed by the people. It is in conceivable that the present legisla ture would do such a thing. Both houses are under the control of the "progressives" and one of the main tenets In the progressive creed In Oregon Is that popular measures shall not be tampered with by the legisla ture For this legislature to repeal any act enacted by the people, such as the branch asylum bill, would be a rank breach of faith. As matters stand regarding the branch asylum, the only proposition now under consideration la that of a suitable building site. The geograph ical location of the asylum has been determined in favor of Pendleton. But the governor and treasurer de clare the land purchased by Mr. Bow erman does not offer good building room for the asylum. So they Want ti purchase some additional ground adjoining the Oliver-Carpenter tract.

This paper believes they were entirely sincere In what they said and were not "playing poli tics." They have a big task upon their hands in constructing the branch asylum and they want to be sure they have a proper building site before they go ahead. With the assistance of the committees that have been called for they should be able to work the problem out to their satisfaction. But whoever tries to repeal the law providing for the eastern Oregon asy lum will be tampering with a buzs saw. IT MERITS SVTPORT. Senator Hawley has Introduced the bill for the appropriation for the Oregon agricultural college. He asks for an appropriation of $340, 000. Those who are familiar with the wonderful growth made by the agricultural college during the past few vears will easily appreciate the fact that this money is needed. The school now has more than double the attendance of a few years ago. Under the administration of Presi dent Kerr this school has become one of the foremost schools of Its sort in the country. With this large at tendance and with the wide scope of work covered It is not surprising that new buildings and new equipment are demanded. Nor can the legisla ture go astray In providing this In stitution with all the money needed. Money Invested at O. A. C. brings forth good returns for the school Is doing work that deals directly with the material prosperity of the state. THE IXCOME TAX. Both houses of the legislature have ratified the income tax amendment to 'he constitution of the United States. If a sufficient number of other states do the same the amendment will become effective and it will then be possible to tax people In propor tion to their ability to pay. Yet not necessarily so. A man with moder ate wealth may, by superior energy and ability, have a greater annual income than will a man with more wealth but with less personal force. Tet in the main the income tax is right and H Is gratifying to know that th Oregon legislature has vot ed for it. Some legislatures refused to ratify the amendment not because it was not right but because those legislatures were controlled by forces that objected to the income tax for selfish reasons. It Is up to local people to assist In every way possible in finding a suitable site for the branch asylum. While here the committees should be 'provided -with all conveniences and shown due courtesy. The branch asylum will mean much to this city and Pendleton people should see that it does not get away. That Portland weather man is a poor forecaster as far as Pendleton is -concerned. He says It will snow but it does not. Have you had the grip yet? SOUNDS LIKE A WARXIXG.

He wrote for years, and years, and years Poor wight! His harvest was but tears, For every line he wrote, alack, Came homing, like a pigeon, back. Until his dwelling was packed full Of manuscripts unsalable, And all his wall in endless strips We papered with rejection slips. His cellar held wo hundred score Of tales of love, and maybe more; And every bookshelf In the place Han o'er with stories of the chase. In bureau drawer, in trunk and chest, In highboy, lowboy. Jacked and press ed, Lay skeches, noveletrs and rhymes Which he had penned at sundry times. He caught the measles, and at last From out this vale of tears he passed, But where he went to none can say; We only know he passed away. His widow wed again, a wight Who called the Junkman In one night, And as waste paper sold that store Of manuscrlps he'd struggled o'er. 'Twas then there dawned upon the land A miracle of genius grand A man who'd never gn? tn school. Yet reeled off tales as from a spool An endless spool, at that and who, Though rough, the muses fair could woo As did the bards of Queen Bet's age The junkman poet was the rage. The Junkman's novels had a sale That turned the six best sellers pale, And publishers in frenzied race Outbid each other in the chase For storied stuff he had to sell. And those who got it did right well. For everywhere folks raved the while About the Junkman's "splendid style." i The moral? Well, I've sometimes thunk He waxeth fat who deals In junk. Selected. XEGRO FIELD HAXD DOOMED. During the century which embraces the most important period of the cot ton industry in America many invent ors have sought to perfect a cotton harvester. More than four hundred Inventors have felt themselves so near to 'the solution of the problem that they have secured patents from the United States patent office. Many of these machines have been taken to the cotton fields for practi cal tests. Usually the machines wob bled over a few rows of cotton, pick ed a few locks, tore off the flowers and unopened bolls and left a trail of lint on the ground. The trails have been so many and the failures so unanimous that cotton planters long ago lost faith in the machines and refuse to allow them in the field. Recently one of these cotton har vesters visited the 'farm of John M Rhoads near Vernon, Texas, with request to try his cotton picker on Mr Rhoads' crop. Mr. Rhoads had pre vious knowledge of cotton pickers and believed, like most other planters, that a negro is the only successful cotton picker extant. The success of this machine Is best told by Mr. Rhoads himself. In a let ter Mr. Rhoads says: "The last two weeks the machine was here I oper ated it myself so I will refer briefly to that period of operatipn. I have already stated that the rows in this field were 1100 yards long, and dur Ing this two weeks I averaged one round every thirty-seven minutes. found the machine to be very easy to handle, experiencing only such troubles that are common with a gas oline engine, which I overcame very readily. I also experienced some trou ble with the machine such as the trained operators had during their period of operation, as locking of fin gers, clogging of the belts, and other minor troubles, that will occur In the operation of any machinery, and wish to state just here that I did not only repair the troubled parts, but adjusted them so they did not occur again. During the two weeks of cot ton picking with the machine I pick ed 19,200 pounds of seed cotton, my best day's run being 6400 pounds. During this time we had one rain, which delayed us twenty-four hours, and also tome very cold mornings that made It too disagreeable to start early. I also noted that the machine would handle the rank cotton with just as much ease and pick It Just as clean as It would the smaller cotton and the operator did not have to make any adjustments in passing from low to tall cotton." From Machine Picks Cotton at Last," in February Techni cal World Magazine. Price Collier's artecres, now appear ing in Schlbner's Magazine, are re markable for their trenchant obser- valon. They clear up much of the non sense that has been written about English rule in India. In the Febru ary Scribner he gives an account of his visiting for several weeks the gov ernor of Bombay. He outlines the broad plan by which England governs India, and pays a high tribute to Its efficiency. It is generally stated in jobbing circles In the East that the supply of hemp In the Phlltpines Is getting to a point where It will soon overtake the demand. Prices at present are so low that the margin of profit Is very small, but It is believed that the low prices will stimulate Increased use. Terrible Suffering Eczema All Over Baby's Body. "When my baby was four months old his face broke out with ecsema, and at sixteen moaths of age, his face, bands and arms were In a dreadful state. The ecsema spread al over his body. We had to put a mask or cloth over his face and tie up his hands. Finally we gave him Hood's Sarsapa rllla and In a few months be was en tlrely cured. Today he Is. a heslthy boy."
