What makes the world appear so fair? Why do the winds so sweetly blow Why is there so much gladness where There were no smiles awhile ago? Why lias the sky become so bright? And why is care so far be hind?' Why do the people all delight In praising me and being kind? What is it that has wrought the change? Why have the people ceawd to fret? A gadness that is new and strange Seems to have caused them to forget. The cares and troubles that were small No longer rob them of their glee And yet it may be, after all.

IX PENDLETON'S DEFENSE. The following remarkable state ment appeared last evening in the lo cal paper that has been used by Dr. Coe and his friends in fighting the West Extension: "This newspaper rejoices in the fact that the Pendleton Commercial club ir on record for the west extension, but it regrets, for Pendleton's sake, that the club permitted a faction yes, the same old one to engineer resolutions through the meeting de nying the request of our friends, neighbors and supporters of Pilot Rock, Echo, Stanfield and adjacent territory and putting them squarely up against practically endless ex pense and burdensome litigation in defense of their water lights and of their homes." That statement is as false and as hypocritical as anything uttered dur-!t!me for that ing the long bitter fight just ended. It is the statement of a hypocrite be cause the sheet in question has never worried about the rights of Birch creek people. It was fighting to down the West Extension and failed. The statement to the effect that that paper rejoices because the local club endorsed the extension is a lie. It is the statement of a coward who goes over to the enemy when he sees that fortune is against the side with which he has been aligned. But the East Oregonian Is not tak- I It was the sentiment of those pres ent that the amendment was a need less and Ill-timed slap at the govern nient; that it could do Birch cheek people no good and might do them harm. to it was voted down. As to the adjudication suits this paper expressed its views yesterday It might be a good thing for Birch creek people to have those suits with drawn or it might be Injurious to those people. This paper ' does not Know and is not attempting to say. In the discussion of the subject by Roscoe It. Johnson that gentleman brought out points which makes it look extremely doubtful if the with drawal of these suits would be for th welfare of the upper river settlers. But regardless of this the Com mercial club was absolutely right in voting down th Steiwer resolution imuMwuny nigni. n tnat was a Birch creek resolution it was not properly presented. There was noth ing to show whether that resolution was fathered by Birch creek people, or by the Furnish interests or by some other contingent that might have interests very much opposed to the interests of Birch and JIcKay cree"k farmers. If upper river settlers re ally want the Commercial club to ask the government to drop the adjudi cation suits it is very probable the club will fully meet their wishes when their wishes are presented in such a manner as to make their de sires clear. There is still plenty of The Commercial club stands for the welfare of territory tributary to Pen dleton. So do all the business men of the city. So does the East Ore grnlan. The attempt to create an im. pression to the contrary arises either through Ignorance of the situation or iii the malicious work of men who are sore because the Commercial club en dorsed the West Extension.

That move is due in part to men who have been misled as to what the Commercial club did, but the move is promted mainly by men who have become malicious In defeat. They seek icj ru-.n because they could not rule. ' The action of the Commercial club was taken after full and fair hearing. The subject was fully discussed at the theatre Tuesday night and the point ut ssue Wednesday night was ably ar gued there. The club meetlmr nesauy was one of tho biggest in , history and there was no Jobbery! The vote against the Sti-.wer resolu j tion was decisive. j The re-olutions adopted were written ! by men who were not partisans in I the fight either for or against tho Ex- j tension. They were, written by men who wanted to solve the problem in the best possible way from a Pen- j dleton standpoint. That the resolu-1 tion did furnish 'lUlltMl 111 i the minds of the Commercial club numbers is evidenced by the fact that : only one man voteil ninir,, . , ! wivir uu- option I Xow that the fight Is over and the ! decision is given local people should! be allowed to rest In peace. For the foes of the Extension to continue their ' warfare here will only cause needless 1 trouble and prove tnat they are poor losers. I AT TIIS EOCEHA.

There are other doilars waiting to be earned, And the miscreant who robbed you by the fates may have been tricked. He may now be lying dead and un concerned, Or you might have spent your cash For the wlimsiest of trash That your better nature would have coldly spurned. Do not be di.-couraged when you Jour ney home at night If a woman drops a bundle on your toes; Turn and smile upon her kindly; let her think your heart is light, She may love you for the patience you disclose; If she jabs you from behind Do not lose your peace of mind, But be thankful that she h'nonv bumped your nose. Do not be discouraged If your bank account is small, But try to make it larger day by day; Think of those who toil and haven't any bank accounts at all For the greedy ones to try to get away; If you shiver in the cold Cling to hope and do not scold, It is only six more littie months to May.
