Oh, I like to hear a feller who will whistle at his work! I like to hear a worker who will hum a little tune. Ef a feller's got some music, why, he ain't so apt to shirk. He can change a bleak De cember into mild and merry June. What's the use o feelin" blue? There is sunshine here fur you. Life is mostly what you make it. Make it mellerllke an' . true. Care will often run away Ef he finds you're feelin' gay. Open up your music, brother, an', by thunder, let it play! There's enough uv gloom an' sorrer uv the kind that hes to be. Lots uv it's imaginary; you - kin whistle it away. When you see o' trouble skulk- in' in the lots behind a tree Let him see you're merry hearted. Put your record on an' play. What's the use o' feelin blue? Nature's happylike an' true. Help the world to be more cheerful an" 'twill do the same fur you. Blue is all right in the sky, All right in a maiden's eye. But don't get it in your system. It will kill you by an' by. Selected. IT IS NOT OVER YET. The report of the special Investi gating committee appointed by the Commercial club should break the backbone of any opposition to the new h'gh school. That committee was composed of ten representative men and they are all big taxpayers. At the time of their appointment the committeemen were not all favorable to the high school. Some were luke warm for the improvement and oth ers; for various reasons were against It. The investigation convinced every member that the present building Is Inadequate and dangerous, at least 'n some particulars, and that by all means it should be replaced at once by an up-to-date structure. Previous to this investigation the East Oregonlan favored building a new high school because t was satis fled the improvement 's needed. This paper Is now st'll more strongly im pressed with the need of a new build ing because it has confidence In the Intentions, the judgment and the abil ity of the men who made their report last night With the submission of the com mittee's report last evening the move fir a high school ceased to be a school board affair or an affair in which only school people were Interested. It 1 now a community move for the representative business men and prop erty owners of the city have taken up the cause as their own. That they will win the fight seems assured. However, it Is too early In the game for any relaxation of effort and 't would be fatal for those who favor the high tchool to consider that every thing is over with merely because the Investigating committee says the building is needed. In spite of the glowing prospects for Pendleton there is quite an ele ment here that Is embued with a deep rooted, though senseless peaalm lam. There are people here who seem t want this city to go backwards rather than forward. They are ca.1 amity howlers and they want to Jus tify their views. There are also some people here who like to "squeeze a dollar until the eagle scree mJ," They are afraid to let loose of a quarter ven if they know they can get a dollar by dcrfns; so. They are tlmor os souls and the thought of a 1100,- bond issue for school purposes frightens them. This Is true despite tli fact that other towns of eastern Orearoa not as jee as Pendleton and not half aa wealthy have already built such high schools and have "put us in the shade" by doing so. If Pendleton is to go forward ns It should it Is absolutely necessary that the "progressives" take control. It will never do to turn affairs over to the pessimistic and the timid. They are not town builders. AUK WE WITH DIAZ? If It Is the intention of President Taft to have American soldiers , mix lr. the Mexican revolution with a view tc upholding the Diaz government he is driving another nail in his political coffin. From latest reports the ad ministration has some such purpose iu view. In the Latin American "republics changes in administration seldom oc cur peacable. They are generally brought about by revolutions rather than by elections. There are reason for believing that Diaz has been maintained in office more by the might of his soldiers than by the votes of the Mexican people. It $ also apparent that a change in presi dents must occur shortly because Di az is now aged and descreplt. Most free thinking people of this country feel a change is needed down there. That the United States should take some interest in the Mexican situation M very proper. Much American capi tal Is Invested in Mexico and it is plainly the duty of this country to see that such property rights are respect ed. But how do we know that Am erican investments would not be Just as safe with the revolutionists in power vas under the Diaz regime? Why should this country become a parti cipate 'n the war? The natural course for this country to take under the constitution would be to let the Mexicans settle their In ternal troubles for themselves. Then to make it known to whoever may gain control that American invest ments must be duly respected. Of course 1f there should be no govern ment at all in Mexico and should a state of anarchy arise it might be permissable for this country to go in as it did in Cuba, restore order, al low the Mexicans to hold a fair and square election and then get out. But it is not likely that such a contin gency will arise. It may be expected that either the federalists or the rev olutionists will prevail in Mexico and whoever triumphs will become the de facto government. Should this country go into Mexi co at this time and Join forces with "Diaz to put down the rebellion the administration will have much to answer for at the next election. The charge will be made that the Mor gans and the Guggenheims have used this government and our army not merely to protect American Invest ments but to uphold a crowd from whom our financial kings have gotten special concessions and perhaps some things to which they have not been justly entitled. Such a charge would hurt the administration immensely because the average American is al ready disposed to resent Wall street domination of our government. PROTECT THE LADIES. The cowardly and despicable at tacks made recently upon two young women of the city are to the shame of Pendleton and it goes without say ing that every step possible should be taken to stop such outrages. Any one who will molest unprotected wo men or girls while traveling peace fully along a street in the evening Is so devoid of manhood and decency that he deserves scant consideration if caught. It la up to Pendleton to stop this sort of thing and to bring this "Jack the grabber" to time even If it takes 20 special policemen and detectives to do so. The women and children of this town are entitled to protection. At times the people of this city are divided if.to rival factions and this Is particularly true with reference to political affairs, as is but natural. But when the good of the town is at stake the business leaders usually go arm in arm and they are doing so now in behalf of the move for a new high school. With so much war news yfeach day the fact that Juneau, Alaska, was wiped off the may has been almost overlooked, It seldom pays for outs'ders to mix In family quarrels but it looks like Uncle Samuel is going to do so any way. One thing at a time and the first step for Pendleton Is a new high school. . M MODEST CHIEF JUSTICE. Edward Douglass White lias Bailiff Violate Tradition and Precedent Edward Douglass White, the new chief Justice of the United States is one of the most modest of public of ficials. This lack of self-aggrandize ment Is strikingly Illustrated In an In novation In the procedure of the high est court, decreed by the new chief Justice. Since time Immemorial, It has been the rule for the bailiff of the court to announce. Impressively, when the nine members of the tribunal file In to the room: "The honorable, the chief justice, and the associate jus tices of the supreme court of the Unit ed States." ' ' When Chief Justice Fuller died, and Associate Justice John Marian, as sen ior judge, acted as presiding member or the bench, the bailiff was Instruct ed to make this salutation: "The hon orable, the supreme court of the United States," since at that time there was no chief justice. As soon as White was chosen pre siding Justice, court attaches called his attention to the fact that he should order the bailiff to resume the time honored formula of introducing the audience to "The chief Justice and the associate justices of the supreme court." The new head of the court refused. He Is reported to have stat ed that he liked the simple state ment, and didn't care to have It changed to call attention to himself. And so it happens that the bailiff violates tradition by his daily an nouncement and precedent and tra dition are awful things to violate at the supreme court. Modernity hasn't yet succeeded in dispelling the ancient traditionary habit of having quill pens a part of the furnishings of the court chamber, although there Is a conces sion In the shape of a few steel pens and penholders for real use. SPELL OP THE SOXG. You sing me a song of the long ago, And I turn my face from the sunset glow To the crimson blush of the trembling dawn Of the days, of the wondrous days agone; And the song you sing Is a song un heard, Fcr my heart leaps up at a whispered word That Is echoed now from the melody Still sung In the land of the' used-to-be. And I sit and gaze through my half closed eyes At the olden hills and the olden skies At the olden hills that were high, so high That they seemed to reach to the bending sky; So high they were that at night they kept The paths of the stars as adown they crept, And they stood as a shelter round about From the hungry world thai-" was barred without And I see again as though through a mist The reddened rose that the dew. had kissed. And the apple blooms on the swaying trees. And I hear the chant of the humming bees As they staggered home from the flowered vine With the drunken Joy of the honey wine; And I see the path, and the lazy gate Where the hollyhocks stood guard In state. You sing me a song of the long ago And youlng of things that you can not know! Of the laughing brook and the mead ows green, And the country road that was white and clean, Of the little house with Its open door And the sunshine dancing across the floor And the morning glories that climb ed the wall. And the scent of the roses over all. W. D. Nesblt. RICE FOR WILLAMETTE. Cereal Can Be Grown Successfully In tho Valley, Say Government Ex perts. That rice can be grown In the Wil lamette valley successfully is the be lief qf government experts and at tempts will be made to Introduce this new crop. Charles B. Chambllss, in charge of rice Investigations -for the United States department of agrlcul ture, will come to Portland soon to look over the situation. Local peo ple believe the Willamette valley of fers ideal conditions for rice culture. The crop has been found to be a a success in Arkansas and Texas and tests made at Red Bluff, Cal., last year were encouraging. Seed from the California experiment plots will be used in sowing the small tracts to be tried in this state. The mild win ters, early springs, dry summers, with abundant water for Irrigation and flooding the rice fields of the Wil lamette valley indicate to those Inter ested In the subject that rice culture may be made very successful here and a big Industry built us. The character of the soil has been found to be similar to that at Louis iana, Ark., and the elevation is about the same. There rice growing has become a big business, , with good profits to the farmers. There Is a duty on Imported rice of 2 cents per HER WEIGHT INCREASED f ROM 100 TO 140 POUNDS. Wonderful Praise Accorded Perunathe Household Remedy Mrs. Maria Goertz, Orients, Okla' noma, writes: "My husband, children and myself have used your medicines, and we al ways keep them in the houso in cane of necessity. I was restored to health by this medicine, and Dr. Ilartman's in valuable advice and books. People ask about me from different places, and are surprised that 1 can do all of my Iioubo work alone, and that I was cared by tho doctor of chronic catarrh1. My husband was cured of asthma, my daughter of earache and catarrh of the stomach, and my son of catarrh of the throat. When I was sick I weighed 100 pounds ; now I weigh 140. "I have regained my health again, and I cannot thank you enough for your advice. May God give you a long life and bless your work." Asr Taw r ltlL pound and a ready market Is found for the product in the United States at 7 1-2 cents a pound. It Is said to be a more profitable crop to grow than wheat. Many suppose It is a difficult cereal to raise and harvest. This Is said to be a mistake for by modern methods it can be handled as easily as other grains. Only after the planting has been made Is the field flooded and the water is drained from the ground a few weeks before harvest. Then headers are run over the field and the rice threshed the same as If It were wheat The direct exportation of matting has commenced from Haiphong, In-do-Chlna. Heretofore the entire pro duct of the matting weavers of Indo china, the best matting of which comes from Ninh-binh In Tonkin, has been exported through Hongkong and has been classed with the product of Canton weavers.' It is probable, how. ever, that the mass of the exports will continue to be handled by way of Hongkong. A direct through freight service by railway has been Inaugurated between Vladivostok on the Pacific ocean and Odessa on the Black sea. A woman Kyglenlst says under wear shortens life.
