THE MEASVKE OF SUCCESS It is not given every man to do great things; To lead the world in deeds of great renown; But for the few the nations plaudit rings; ( But few can win Fame's dia- mond-studed crown. I may not hope to reach the world's ideal, Nor climb the sleek-runged ladder of success. It doubtless shall not be my lot to feel The sensuous thrill of self- ' exaltedness. Mine not to reach the top, and, looking down, Behold the masses grov'ling at my feet, Mine, mayhap, but to bear Dame Fortune's frown, And quaff the bitter potion of defeat. Well, be it so, if only I may find A place to serve, a little word to speak, Now here, now there, that may not be unkind: A chance to help the needy, or the weak. To reach down into sorrow's seething pool, And take some fallen brother by the hand; To mark my actions by the Golden Rule; Just to be equal to the clay's demand. Let me but faithful be in lit- tie things; - Let no unguarded act of mine offend; Let me do well-rarh task that duty brings; And I shall be successful in the end. E. B. HOUCK. SHIFTY, HIT UNWISE. The Oregonian thinks it is a smooth juggler. It still plays on the idea there is no difference between the or ganization of a Taft campaign com mittee, as the committe should have been formed, and the delivery to the Taft forces of the republican state organization prior to the holding of the primary election in this state. That paper tries to show the East Oregonian Is inconsistent on this sub ject and claps its hands in childish glee. But people who are even tialf way iriformed on political topics know the East Oregonian is right and that the criticism of the manner in which the Oregon Taft committee was formed was a criticism well made. It is the same criticism that would be made of an umpire who might take it upon 1'imself to award a baseball game to cne team or the other before the fcame had been played. The Oregonian is well informed as to the facts in this affair and realizes that the truth is against it. Yet "high j trow" organ that it is it tries to im-j pest on the ignorance of its readers. It is a contemptible, course to take 1 and it is doubtful if even those who j find their only political gospel in the 1'ortlund morning paper will be de-, ceive i thereby. As for Die East Ore- j gonian this paper is quite sure its : cwn readers are of EUfficient Intelli gence to und.-rstand the matter 1 aright. j The Portland Or. gonian will learn ir. time that the people at large are more capable than it thinks and that they are sonn what awake to dawn ing political truths, even though the Oregonian itself shuts its eyes and professes not to see the rising eun. NO CONSPIRACY XKCESSAHY. Coming close upon the heels of the commerce court ruling ln the Spo kane rate case is the complaint that the financiers who dominate the tiansrontalnental railroads are block ing a proposed independent steam rhlp line to operate from the Atlan tic to the Pacific through the Pan ama canal. Maybe it was the commerce court's rutins' that frightened the capitalists who were expected to invest In the shipping company. Would it be safe for people to Invest money In a ship company as long as that ruling stands? The commerce 'court ruled that it j is alright for the railroads to meet I water competition. The decision says it is proper for the roads to haul Height from New York to tVaillo at lower rates than from New York to Spokane, or to Fcndloton, provided the Spokane rate is not unreasonable and the Seattle rate is not unremun erativo. How a Spokane rate can bo n.si. liable that is higher than a Se .ilUe rate the court does not say. Then- is room for doubt as to the full .'feet of the qualifying clause. Hut it is plainly the purpose of the com merce court to allow railroads to meet water competition. In other words, they may haul freight by rail r.s cheaply as it may be brought by steamer through the canal. That will mean that little freight will come by suanier as long as the ruling stands. It also means that the interior will have to pay for the railroad's fight against water competition. When the commerce court gave its reactionary decision it dealt a blow at the steamship business as well as at the interior. With that decision in force it should not be necessary foi railroad men to form a conspir acy to job the financing of an ocean-to-ocean steamship line. The con spiracy of the commerce court should be sufficient THEY TOOK THEM IN. Though a local victory was scarce ly expected the Pendleton high school football team went upon the gridiron at the Round-l'p park yesterday and ti re the Baker high school team to titters. It wiu a grand game from the standpoint ot the P. H. S. rooters and the victory reflects much credit on the team and upon its coach. When a light team defeats a heavier aggregation it is entitled to feel un usually good, especially when it is an ancient enemy that is vanquished. HOW CAN' HE DO IT? John McCourt declared he would uphold the Indians of the reservation in using water for irrigating their al lotments, but intimated he would not uphold their right to water for their land when it is rented. It Ls a very peculiar position to take. It means that the government proposes to pro- ' tect the strong Indians who can work but refuses to protect the aged, the squaws , and the children. ! Many local people would like j to know how the United States attorney can take such a course and it would be Interesting to hear more upon this subject from Mr. McCourt. LIKES FILTRATION PLANT. Editor East Oregonian: Pendleton, Ore., Xov. IS I am in favor of good water for Pendleton, the best we can get. I be lieve In absolutely pure water, or as near pure as it i- possible to have it. I am not in favor of spending pub lic money any more recklessly than I would my own, and when I spend my own money I try to get as near value received as possible. If we spend as large a sum as was voted by the city of Pendleton for a water supply. I believe that great care should be taken and good judg ment used in its expenditure. From all I can learn I am of the opinion that a pumping and filtration system is the most feasible plan for an abundant supply of water; how ever, I am open to conviction, and if a gravity system can be obtained that will be reasonable in cost, adequate and satisfactory, I am in favor of it. From all the information I can get and from some surveys and investi gations made on my own account. I believe a plan is feasible whereby a power plant may be obtained and Five Passenger, Six 9 fill ft Cylinder touring Car -0&yUUi 0 The New Series Franklins Are the most beautiful in rlfifms and finish. They are almost noiseless. They are simple, rconornieal and reliable. They are the most comfortable to ride in and the easiest to handle. They have no water to Inith with and they are lighter and more powerful than anything else on the road. Latest model now on exhibition Ak for a demonstration Pendleton Auto Company electric power developed sufficient not only to pump the water for the city, but to light It, also to furnish power for all the Industries now in the c'ty and twice as many more. We could then Invite other factories to our city by offering them cheap power- I believe this power plant can bo installed, together with a filtration Mstem that will furnish the city of Pendleton pure water for very little more- outlay, if any. than the amount voted by the c'.ty nt its last bond election. The advantages of this plan would be: First, pure water; second, th!s 'plant would pay for itself, and not only pay for itself, but would pay the whole of the city debt in the course of time, and at the same time Hive us cheaper water and light. I believe in Pendleton. I believe in empl y ng Pendleton people on Pen dleton work, whether it be common day labor, mechanical expert work or professional work. I believe a publ'c official should take the public into his confidence in all matter of import ance, to the end that they may either censure or commend his acts as such official. -!.( H' I believe a summary of the receipts and disbursements of every public of ficial should be published in a local newspaper at least every three months and that the books and records and public documents should be open to in-pection at all times and that any citizen or taxpayer should be welcome to examine them nt any time.

McGlll, from this place. "I was very weak and could not do any work. I tried different remedies, but they did me no good. One day, I got a bottle of Cardui. It did me so much good, I was surprised, and took some more. : Before I took Cardui, I had headache and backache, and sometimes I would cry for hours. Now I am over all that, and can do all kinds of housework. I think It Is the greatest medicine on earth." In the past fifty years, thousands of ladies have written, like Mrs. McGlll, to tell of the benefit received from Cardui. Such testimony, from earnest women, surely indicates the great value ot this tonic remedy, for diseases peculiar to women. Are you a suffererf Yes? Cardui Is the medicine 70a need.
