This world is wrong; There's no excuse for smile or song, The blossoms on the bush or tree Are all as false as false can be, Since, like some unsubstantial friend, Each brings his kindness to an end. And scenes, however bright and gay. . 'Neath chilling drifts must sleep some day." And someone cried. "This world's all right. The snow will vanish in a night; The clouds that hang across the blue Are bound to melt. They al ways do. Ard blossoms, though they will not stay Return to cheer us on the way; Old friends, whom time can ne'er remove. Whose love with absence does improve." Washington Evening Star. I WHY XOT lilUNG IT ABOUT? If the courts rule that the decision ti me supreme court in me luniaiiu case applies to the Umatilla reserva tion it will bring about great possi bilities for Pendleton and for this en tire portion of Umatilla county. Irrigation is what is wanted in this pection. This is admitted by all. It is what Pendleton wants above every thing else. It is what local workers for the city's advancement have long prayed for. It is what Athena wants and has tried to get. It is what Wes ton wants and is now striving ear nestly to obtain. If the reservation water rights are established it will be possible to bring a large portion of the reservation un der irrigation. If the Montana decis ion applies here it will mean that the waiter of the Umatilla river and of creeks upon the reservation may be used upon the Indians lands. There will be sufficient water if properly stcred to irrigate many thousands of acnes. There ia money on hand that might well be used by the government for the construction of such storage projects. In the tribal fund for the Umatilla reservation there is some thing like 1300,000 on hand. The money is of no use at present. It could be utilized in bringing the In dian lands under irrigation. To irri gate the lands would mean to make them more productive. Indians who ftrm their allotments could make more money than at present. Those v anting to rent could rent at higher prices than at present. Those want ing to sell their allotments could sell for higher prices. It would be a good thing for the Indians and a good thing for the white man. It would be the salvation of Pendleton and it would aid Athena and Weston. The construction of a storage res ervoir or of several of them would al so preclude any danger that the Irri gation of the reservation would in jure those further down the stream. .Storage irrigation would mean a greater summer flow in the river. It ould mean more water for the local mills during the low water season. It would mean more water for the ranch ers below the city. It would mean nore summer water for the Furnish project, the Hinkle project and the government project. It would help everybody and injure no one. Why cannot everybody in this county from one end to the other Join forces, demand that the reservation rights be established and that the res ervation lands be watered. It Is a common cause. 'SPOILING THE CANAL? Is the ruling of the commerce court on the question of coast freight ratei a Ptep toward nullifying the effects of the Panama canal and a step taken In the Interests of the transcontinen tal railroads? It is not a farfetched conclusion. It Is a certainty the railroads will he able to fighf waten. competition more effectively If they are allowed to grant discriminative rates to coast citii-s. At this time thore are few stoaniship linos in existence largely because the roads may "meet water competition." In other words the reads mav haul freight to coast ell i,s at low rates and make up for it 1,. charging helpless interior point more than they should justly pay. It is easy to wase competition under scch an arrangement. Terhajs ihe railroads would like to have this system continued after the 7.r0 canal Is completed. If they are al JLuil b ed t.) meet water competition it shoul 1 be e:'sv for them to throttle 1 0 .75 the steamship lines. It will he a . :y simple proposition and wont tost the railroads anything. What they mi coast business they may make u; on Interior traffic. it Would be especially fine for the J i ail! oai to iiave the terminal rate system continued and then to have J lo!ls t.iulrgecj at the Panama canal. ....., . ... , , iWith these two things in vogue the j r..iir.tH.la would have quite, as strong 'a grip as they now hold and the big ' u i t c h would be in vain. i t..u van nit; ucliivii .i ,iict ii'Uii cd commerce stand?

In a public Statement made during October. .Senator Robert L. Owen, of Oklahoma, and one of the progressive leaders said: "I believe in questioning candidates and I believe in candidates frankly answering on every Issue before the people. This is the only way in which the people can be assured of what the candidates stand for. This is the only way in which the people can hold a candidate to account If he fails to keep his obligations. A candidate has no right to receive votes of people v ho epect one thing, while he in tends to deliver them another. "I think the -questioning of candi dates is the true method of making tffective the reforms which are es sential to human progress, and that a man's constituents should' right- fully demand of him to know In writ- ilig where he stands on th(j vUa, ,s This statement applies to the Pen dleton mayoralty race. There are two candidates out for mayor, yet neither one has said what he will do or will not do if elected. They should be frank and tell the people what their ideas are so that voters mav iu lire as to which nn tu jr ofeice If the people of Pendleton want a man on tile water commission who will work earnestly for a gravity wa ter system they should stand by Will Moore. Mr. Moore's position is well known and the fact he has been criti cised is to his credit. He has been criticised because he has tried to ful fill his obligations to the people. Is it possible the mayoralty candi dates are waiting until the nomina tions are closed before they declare themselves? So dress suits wont be compulsory at the grand opera. How sad!

PROFITABLE CHEER. Oh. the world's a dreary, dismal place When things are going wrong; Xo beauty brightens any face, Xo gladness any song; When ill luck spends the day with us, Or trouble fares away with us. The miles are rough and long. Oh, the world is full of loveliness, When things are going right; Each wisp of hair's a silken tress, And every scene is bright; When good luck goes along with us The few th!ngs that are wrong with us Are kept well out of sight. Oh, few the words of praise we hear When sadness weighs us down; Our friends depart as if in fear, Or. while they listen, frown; They have no time to spare with us. Nor any cheer to share with us Who wear the thorny crown. Oh, glad men greet us everywhere When we have cause for glee; Our friends help make our pathways fair When we from cares are free; When luck's sweet cun la fun f. Our friends are glad to pull for us, naie er our worth may be. Oh, glad the greet'ngs that we get When we have cause to smile; So why not cease to frown or fret, And cling to pleasing guile? When all the ways seem clear for us The world will always cheer for us Let's fool the world a-whlle. S. E. kiser. FAME.

For three generations they have been relied upon as the safe and sure relief for all troubles connected with the stomach, liver," bowels or kidneys. They are most valuable both when taken in the earlier stages or to relieve the aggravated form of the trouble. , Strengthen the digestive organs, purify the blood, tone the nerves, dissipate melancholy and improve the complexion. Don't experiment with unknown drugs use this old reliable family remedy that has stood the test of years, and of innumerable cases.
