If present predictions are carried -out the extra session of congress call ed by President Taft will be more of a, political session than anything else. It was called by the president to adopt the reciprocity treaty the adminis tration's star bid for popularity but which thus far has not made the pres ident particularly popular, especially with the farmers who stand to be af fected by the treaty. "There appears to be little doubt concerning the passage of the recip rocity measure; and not much like lihood of any tariff revision during the extra session," says Henry Clews. "It is quite possible, however, that considerable tariff agitation may be .aroused if only for political effect, es pecially as the time is drawing near for another presidential campaign. For this very reason, however, there . 1 little prospect of any Important .changes being made in present sched ules. The tariff is altogether too full of excellent political ammunition to permit of a prompt adjustment, and Ob it will be the best material for the forthcoming campaign there is little reason to fear very decisive action in any extra session. Still, tariff agi tation is a deterrent and not a stimu lant to business enterprise. There is more or less talk of putting such ar ticles on the free list as vitally affect the cost of living, and there is re . newed talk of attacking the wool, cot ton and steel schedules. But, as al ready said, radical changes are not probable, at least until after another presidential election." If the democrats have wise leader- ship they will not attempt a general revision of the tariff, now nor in the future. They will stand for the cre ation of a tariff commission to han dle tariff changes in much the same manner as the interstate commerce .commission regulates freight rates. The tariff is a business proposition rather than a political Issue. How ever, the democrats are coming to the bat and no doubt they will want to play the game as it has always been played. As to this we will know more later. FOR THE MILTOX EAGLE. If the esteemed Milton Eagle will kindly Investigate the subject a trifle it will find it has no just complaint because the county court has author ized the publication of the county ex penses In the East Oregnnian. That work is being given to the East Ore gonlan in conformity with a law from which the following is an extract: "Xo. 2636. The county court shall, at the January session of each year, select one newspaper published with in the county, having the largest cir culation within the county where pub- Huhed, In which the proceedings of aid court, as entered of record, shall be published at the expense of tho county: Provided, that In counties having ten thousand population two newspapers having the largest cir culation shall be selected, and the county clerk shall furnish such pa pers selected each a copy of the pro c-edln.gs and a list of claims." (L. 1891, p. 140, Sec. 2.) It will be seen that the law does not specify that the statement must be published In any particular edition of a paper, such as Its dally, weekly - or semi-weekly edition. It Is true though that when the county clerk asked for sworn statements of cir culation he asked for the same with reference to weekly editions only. That action was taken regardless of the law and the clerk was In error in )olng as he did. The East OreferJan at th time the request was made was only Issu ing dally and semi-weekly editions, having some time before merged tho weekly edition with the semi-weekly in order to give Its readers a much better and prompter service. The Friday's issue of the semi-weekly is now designated as the weekly edition for the publication of notices of a legal nature. When the East Orogonian submit tal its sworn Circulation statement to the county court the statement gave the circulation of the Semi-Weekly Fast Orogonian within Umatilla coun ty. The statement showed this pa per to have the largest clrculat'on of any paper within the county. Ac cordingly the Kast Oregonlan was designated as a paper in which the expenses of the county should be published. The court was required b law to take such action. As to the other paper that was chosen and as to how that paper came to be chosen the East Oregonlan has no I articular concern. From information, secured, so If says, from a member of the county court the Milton Eagle seems to feel that this paper was Improperly se loctd as a medium for publishing the county's expenses. Nothing could be 'rtV.er from the truth. The action of the court was required by law and it was also in accordance with the rules of good business. Had the Eagle been given a full and truthful state ment of the affair there could have been no misunderstanding. "TEDDY" WEAVER. When "Teddy" Weaver left this city Sunday to take a position In PortlanM the East Oregonlan lost its oldest em ploye. For a period of 25 years Mr. Weaver was a member of the mechanical force of this paper. He was a capable and loyal member of the force. He could work faster and swear harder than any other printer In eastern Oregon and he did so. Be cause of Mr. Weaver's work and the work of others this paper has long been complimented as being one of the best appearing small dailies in the west. Like many others who have been connected with this paper In the past "Teddy" has heard the call of the city and has answered it. If he fares as have others who have gone from this paper to where the Hoe presses sing he will do well. May good luck be with him. ' "3 The decision of the county court to undertake the building of macadam roads should encourage the city to do street Improvement work. At this t'me some of the county roads leading Into the city are better than the street with which those roads connect. Pendleton cannot afford to allow such a condition to continue. The notice for bids for constructing the water main from the city limits tf the branch asylum site makes good reading. It will soon be up to the peo ple of the city to vote for a mountain water system and thereby assure the state plenty of pure water for its in stitution. Indications point to a wonderful development in the west end of the k-unty this summer and to a healthy Increase In population for that sec tion. Local merchants should act ac cordingly. The baseball season will soon open. HAD IMPROVED. Representative Nicholas Longworth has the reputation of being a first- rate little amateur boxer, says the Washington "Herald." Back in Cincinnati they tell this story about Nicholas and his father. The elder Longworth liked to box just as a matter of exercise and used his son for a sparring companion, owing to the lack of anybody better that could be called upon at short notice. Young Nick wasn't altogether enthu siastic about the job, for his father possessed a certain amount of skill, and he would come away from one of his father's periods of daily exercise feeling like a man who had been In a runaway accident. When young Nick came home from Harvard for his first vacation his father told him that he had been miss ing the boxing sessions and that he would like to meet Mm up in the at tic at once. A few minutes later father came down with a large bump the size of a couple of pecan nuts over his left eye. "Gracious!" he exclaimed to a guest who was In the parlor, "you'd actu ally be surprised at the way that boy has improved." THE LAUGH OX TIME. (Montgomery Advertiser.) An English veterinary surgeon in jected a couple of mlllgrams of radi um into the jugular vein of an old horse and made the animal feel young again. This brings forth the an nruncement that radium may be made the basis of the real elixir of life. Dr. Petit, the surgeon In question, thinks It highly probable that a radio-active serum may be obtained in this man ner which will arrest to a certain ex tent the advance of physical decay in human beings. If true, the practical use of radium In this way will give humanity a new source of fun. It will be great sport to have the laugh on Father Time and his hand which pa'nts the hair white. He has had humanity under his thumb for many thousand years, and If this plain horse doctor succeeds in putting the screws to tho old man he may have a chance to go down In history, or somewhere else just as comfortable. THE DKS1HE FOR CLEVEHXKSS. (Vancouver (B. C.) World.) A witness in a lawsuit this week, being asked If he had been to Am erica In his youth, said that he went there to get clever, and added that the Americans ore cleverer thnn we are, says the London Times. Very li kely they are, for we are not a clever people; Indeed, in the past we have been Inclined to distrust cleverness. We have commonly used the word in a depreciatory sense, as when we say of a man that he Is too clever by half or of a book that It Is merely clover Now that Is all changed; and, like the witness in question, there are many of us, who think they can learn to be clever, Just ns there fire women who think they can make themselves beau tiful. But cleverness, like benufcy, Is only attractive when It Is natural. It Ls well worth htrving as a gift, but the effort to attain it by force leads people to behave as if they were not Luman beings, but performing mon keys who had taught themselves their own tricks. Cleverness Is a peculiar urban quality. The Greeks, who were a town people, were remarkable for It; the Romans, who loved the coun try were not. So, In modern times, the French, who delight in town life, are the cleverest of nations; and we, who have always beth a country-loving people, are not clever. But, like the Romans, we have been turned In to a nation of townsmen against our natural Inclination; and In the process we have, also like the Romans, tailor Into a general insecurity of taste, try ing to transform our natures to suit our new surroundings, not cultivating those Innate qualities in which we can excel, but trying to assume others In which we cannot. Xo amount of ef fort will ever make us as clever as the French; and the more we try to bo clever the less attractive we become, like a plain woman who tries to be beautiful. IXI.AXD EMPIRE TIMBER. Enough to Houso Half Population of tlio Continent. Statistics complied by A. W. Coop er, secretary of the Western Pine Manufacturers' association. show there Is an avllable supply of stand ing timber In the inland empire to construct 17,000,000 four and five room cottages, or sufficient to house more than half of t'ne population of the United States and Canada.

The value of the product at the mill Is es timated at $21,000,000, of which amount $14,000,000 was paid for la bor. Six million dollars was paid to railroads for hauling the output. The value of the stumpage cut is placed at $3 000,000. The report shows there Is about $110,000,000 invested in the industry in this district, and that the working capital employed ranges from $25, 000,000 to $30,000,000.

The immortal shortstop's name was recently drawn from the Jury wheel and he was sumoned to serve as a Juror in the common pleas court dur ing thn ter commenced today. Im mediately the fans of the Smoky City set up a tremendous howl, since today U also the date set for the sailing of the irates on their voyage to West isaden, Ind., and points south. That the great Honus should have to re main at home and nlav the role of a tame and , domesticated Juryman, when he should be llberlng up his muscles and lamming the ball over the fence in preparation for the great battle to come, was not to be tolerat ed. Great Influence was brought to bear upon the Judges, and they fi nally agreed. In consideration of a promise by Wagner to play ball as never before, to relieve him from Jury dutv.

MdDYAL BaUna Powder c IMBUE n The manufacturers of Royal Bak ing Powder have always declined to produce a cheap baking powder at the sacrifice of quality. Royal Baking Powder is made from pure grape cream of tartar, and is the embodiment of all the excellence possible to b attained in the high est class baking powder. Royal Baking Powder costs only a fair price, and is more economical at its price than any other leavening agent, because of the superlative quality and absolute wholesomeness of the food it makes. Mixtures made in imitation of baking powders, but containing alum, are frequently distributed from door to door, or given away in grocery stores. Such mixtures are dangerous to use in food. In England, France, Germany and some sections of the United Slates their sale is prohibited by law. Alum is a dangerous mineral acid, and all physicians condemn baking powders containing it. Tho label of Blum baking powders must show tho Ingrodsvnia. READ THE LASH. eJLir r is, . trf-" . if ,. .'.. '(I fr " - YOU CANNOT successfully fight the business battles of life without money.
