Some men strive to gain suc cess. To win firm footholds on the height. Because within them selfishness Is ever urging, day and night. Some men press on as best they may With pick or spade or sword or pen. Because their wish is, day by day, To benefit their fellow men. One in ten thousand, glad-to claim The world's approval, nobly strives; But most men who win wealth or fame Do so to satisfy the'r wives. S. E. Kiser. THE COMMISSION CI1AIITER. The commission government char ter that has been drafted by the Pro gressive League and which will be submitted to the people for their ap proval deserves adoption. It calls for the commission plan of government in all its essential features. It is free from radicalism and at the league meeting last night some ultra conser vative features that might have en dangered the adoption of the char ter were eliminated. It would be dif ficult for any body of men to draft a more generally satisfactory char ter no matter how long they might have devoted themselves to the task. If the proposed charter is adoptel fcy the people all the business of the city, including the management of the water system, wiil be left in the hands of a paid board consisting of a mayor and two commissioners. The salaries to be paid will compensate these men for their work yet they will be so reasonable that they will Impose no extra burdens on tho tax payers. It will be surprising Indeed if the officials to be do not sa"e the city far more than enough to make up for their salaries. Under the charter drafted the of ficials will be directly under the con trol of and answerable to the people. The mayor will be elected for n. term o! two years and the commissioners for four years. This will mea-ithat the mayor and one comrr.issiorer, or a majority of the board. Will be chosen at each biennial election. This should insure the carrying out of the will of the people. Under Xht pro posed charter the people will have a far closer and better grip on their officials than they have had In the past. The people will also hn.ve the privilege, of recalling officials at any time, but that is a power trey will I robbly never nec-d in view of the arrangement of the terms of office. There nr- points no doubt upon which the commission charter may be criticise-i. No charter could possibly be draf;-d that would not be criti cised by some. Thi-; because the world is mad; up of "many men of many minds." The East Orcgonian would prefer some feature! of the cl arter different from what they are. But the merits of the ch'irter so greatly overbalance any defects that this paper stands enthusiastically for its adoption. If the people of Pendleton adopt the commission charter thev will pro vide for a government under which responsibility for administrative work will be definitely fixed upon certain men and it is a system that will work for efficiency and economy. It will mean that the affairs of the city will be handled upon a business basis. THE BOSTON LEGEND. In this way doe the New York World take a fling At Boston and place the famous old New England town on the heels of the west in re gard to illiteracy. In Life's current "Boston Num ber" appear all tho time-honored gibes and quips at the city of culture. "I.itf.e Waldos" 'vith bulging brows troop through the streets reading Cicero; placards announce the wxt nui'tiug of the "Little Ones" Brown ii g 'hil;" boy scouts, dowagers, i i aaifouis an, the public statues .il:ke wear spectacles; Kmerson and the sacred cod are pedestalled side by isi.'e; the hard-organ play I'ach and l.eeihovon, and in the foreground p..sses the Ancient and Honorable Ar- , tillcrv. On!v in "Certified Milk i Street" is there an improving modern liuch. J Such is the I'oston legend as it has jKrvn to be. differing from other I legend' In the fact that it has been J established by the jests of the Joke j makers But at a time when Boston its-lf is doing so much to explode myths the truth may be permissible rt garding one phase of Boston cul ture. It is painful to comprehend the Little Waldos of the Hub with the young barbarians at play on the prairies or in the provincial cities of the West. Yet in the interest of ac curacy it must be said that according t the census figures the percentage of total illiteracy is smaller in South Pakota than in Massachusetts. On Mv Missouri of the twelve states of the i North Central Division exceeds Mas- , s:-.chust Its in the percentage of illit j crates, and the percentage is higher ' for Boston than for Cincinnati, Cleve ih'.nd, Detroit and Omaha. It is double i: Boston what it is in Denver. The f.;ct is disillusionizing, but the truth requires it to be recorded even at the expense of the Boston legend. won't do woniv ron nothing It is too bad that Pendleton's na tional guard company had to be dis banded. It is a good thing for a town to have a national guard company, e.-pecially if it be a strong one. It is an excellent thing for young men to have some military training. It is recreation for them and it fits them for service in case they should be needed by he country. But it means work. and responsi bility to be a company commander. An ideal guard commander must have A combination of all those qualities that mean manliness and bring him popularity. He must spend consider able money on his uniforms and equipment and do a vast amount of work for nothing. Some men will do this for awhile cut of patriotism and love for mili tary life. But busy men wont work on such a basis forever. At least they refused to do so in Pendleton. When the company was disbanded It was without a single commissioned officers and no willing candidate for the captaincy could be found. Uncle Sam should pay the national guard officers if he expects continu ous and efficient service from them. The Athena-Weston macadam road Is completed and there will be at least one stretch of good roadway in this county. Now why not extend the movement until a good highway is pi ovided from Milton to Pendleton from Pendleton to Umatilla and from this city to Ukiah. Roads will always be in fashion. Why not fix them so they may be traveled with satisfac tion. The people will rule if the commis sion plan charter is adopted in Pen dleton. The six year term provis ion was cast out. ME STAYED OX THE FARM. Mr. James B. Weaver. Jr., In The World' Work, for November, very f nthusiastically describes the present increasing prosperity of agricultural conditions of Iowa. The reason for it is he says, that the farmers aren't afia'd to do new things in new ways. For instance, this is what hapjen ed to a f irmer who hail always been satisfied with "good enough." HiJ I son, after a half day s at'empt at plowing corn in the muck upon the marsr'n of a ten-acre pond situated in the tenter of a forty-acre field, ! tame to the table one noon hour wiyi the startling announcement: "Fath er: "That pond w;U be tiled or I quit Cleanses the System effectually; Dispels qolds and Headaches, due to constipation. Best for men, women and children ; young and old. To get its Beneficial effects, always note the name of the Company. California fit $yrup(o. plainly printed on the front of every package of the Genuine the farm either the slough goes of I go take your choice." And the pond "went." Today that boy riding his gang plow, descends into the old pond basin that three years ago was the habitat of the muskrat, with the very satisfying consciousness that from Its virgin sv.l. the product of un told centuries of accumuluiloii of vegetable mould shall come for each acre eignty to one hundred bu-hels of coin. LAYING A SUPERSTITION. Scientists are not the 'only ones who occasionally lay the ghost of an nn- cient superstition. H.'l Hicks, an unlettered but tr.ir- rulous authority on nil subjects, was uiscu sing with some old cron'es in the postofflce of a north Missouri town the best time to tilant imtniiwn One old fellow maintained that Good rrttiay is the right time. "Now, I tell you, boys." said BUI positively, "there ain't nothing in this Good Friday super.-tition. I used to think I couldn't raise potatoes unless I planted them on Good Friday. But I remember one year Good Friday came on Sunday, so I had to plant the next day; and I raised as fine potatoes as you ever saw." National Monthly. TWO WILEYISMS. In the department circles in Wash ington .-ays Mr. Ar.hur Wallace Dunn in the World's Work for No vember, Dr. Wiley is known as a man wh j is good company and who says things worth repeating. Soon after the president's order was issued to the effect that no in formation was to be given a con gressman by any employe thp sro" eminent and only heads of the ue partments could furnish information. Dr. Wiley met a member of congress. "Good morning, doctor; how are you this morning " was the greeting "I can't tell you." tiroirmtlv re sponded the doctor, "you'll have to asK tne secretary. One of the best examnles of his quickness of repartee is the exclusive property of the women of the bureau of chemistry. They call him "the Biir Chief" Once a petite young woman of the uureau met tne docur as he was pass ing along the corriflor to his office "Good morning, Big Chief," she said. "Good morning. Little Mis-Chief, retorted the doctor. AX EPISODE OF THE WAU. The enemy's fleet had been sighted hat is their strength " anxiously inquired the admiral.

Nearly Worn Out When He Tried CuticuraRemediesand Was Cured. "About four years ago I broke out with sores on my arms like boils. After two months they were all over my body, soma coming, and some going away. In about six months the boils quit, but my arms, neck and body broke out with an Itching, burning rash. It would burn and itch, and come out in pimples liko grains of wheat. I was in a terrible condition; I could not sleep or rest. Parts of my flesh were raw, and I could scarcely bear my clothes on. I could not lie in bed Li any position and rest. In about a year the t Bores extended down to my feet. Then I suf- ierea agony wnn tne Durnin?, iicrnng sores. I could hardly walk and for a long time I could not put on socks. "All this time I was trying everything I could hear of, and had tbe skill of three doctors. They said it was eczema. I got no benefit from all thi3. I was nearly worn out, and had given up In despair of ever being cured when I was advised by a friend to try Cuticura Remedies. I purchased Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent, and used exactly as directed. I used the Cuticura Remedies constantly for four months, and nothing else, and was perfectly cured. It is cow a year, and I have not had the least bit since. I am ready to praise tne Cuticura Remedies at any time." (Signed) E. L. Cate, Exle, Ky., Nov. 10, 1010.
