Kilpack, representative of the Hoys & Girls aid society set forth some very pertinent facts re garding the juvenile situation in Pen- jmuch to be censured. Boys and girls 'are not properly looked after either TTe ha,1 no time to flatter those Whose money made them jullon- it is his business to investi great, gate juvenile conditions and he finds Intending to be just, he chose To labor and to wait: T-Ta pnve u-lit-n others did not 1 j u; parents or ty me state upon which the duty of guardianship falls when parents become over negligent. Of course parental supervision is the best protection for children and see, His virtues were untold; And those who boasted thought that he Was close and small and cold. S. E.

President Taft is unduly afraid of the presidential preference primary law. With him as with other reac tionaries it is the "soap box" prim ary and opens an avenue to fraud and violence. It is a fearful thing of course that the voters of a party should have the right to select their presi dential candidate. They show nerve in wanting such a privilege. They do not seem to realize any longer that the political bosses and the bosslets are supposed to run politics, and that the common voter should swallow whatever is handed to him. The presidential primary' Is an out rage from the politicians stand point. That is admitted. But aa to fraud and violence the president Ja mistaken. A primary .election where all the members of a party vote is a peaceful proceeding compared with political conventions. For turbulency tho present method of making nominations in Oregon la very tame compared with the good old convention days when disorder at certain times was part of :"ie game, rvor Is there any such jr. ' as was practiced in the olden da. s. There is no unseating of delegates Just because they are of the wrong factional color. -There is no longer any back room Jobbery and bribery. The direct primary is too open to permit of much fraud. The trouble with President Taft is that he is getting all his information as to the direct primary from poli ticians. Either that or else he is afraid to go out on the open track tc race with the gentlemen who are opposing him for the republican nomination. be little need of juvenile courts. But it is a lamentable fact that all par ents do not do their duty by their children. In many cases they do not even realize their responsibilities. So i is up to the government to take a hand. The government however, is even more neglectful of its part of the work. Neither local nor state regula tions for the protection of children are enforced to any great extent. Except when a transient official lik;; Mr. Kilpack comes round we seldom know that the state "attempts to en gage In looking after children. We have many paid officials who do corrective work but few who do pre ventative work. Policemen ordinar ily devote their attention t watching adults but children need their care also. If every city in the land would maintain some policemen to prevent children from going astray there would soon be less adult criminals.

' Strongest Bank in Eastern Oregon American National Bank Pendleton, Oregon THE COUI1EI.I, IX THE EAXE. I've been thinking of my childhood, the early happy days, Tho glory of the pummer the sunshine and the rain, I wander through the woodland and through half-forgotten ways. And I hear once more the tinkling of the cowbell, in the lane. Tho pines' are on the mountain and the meadow dressed in green. The hills are decorated with waving yellow grain. Quite enraptured with the vision I feast upon tbe scene. And I hear again the tinkling of the cowbell In the lane. Oh! ' I would I were an artist with time and skill to paint The mountain and the streamlet, the foothills and the plain. To interpret every bird song, Joyful and the plaint, While I hear once more the tinkling of the cowbell ip the lane. The world is full of music when the heart is tuned aright; Yes. there is a hallelujah chorus and refrain When I listen to all nature preparing for the night. And enjoy again the tinkling of the cowbell in the lane. Now the sun Is slowly sinking behind the mountain crest, The golden shafts of glory fast follow in his train, No hand can ever picture the bright beauty of the West. As I hear again the tinkling of the cowbell in the lane. i The vision's growing dimmer 'mid the shadows of the night. Fading are the mountain, the vale and golden grain, The birds have ceased their Warb ling with the waning of the light, Yet I hear the tinkling of the cowbell in the lane. Ah! Now the day Is over, the milk maid's at the gate, The mantle of the night-time has covered hill and plain, The stars have decked the sky again, the evening hour is late. And sleep will still the tinkling of the cowbell in the lane. J. Will Calhoun. POOR GIRL. Her dancing is simply divine, she sing like a bird on a bough; She has neat little feet and the hair hangs gracefully over her brow She Is dainty and slender and bright; her letters are pleasingly penned; She skips with the grace nf a sprite but her nose is turned up at the end. She's a girl who would not loll around while her mother was toiling away; Her tastes are artistic and sound; she always knows just what to say; She can point to ancestors from whom nnyone might be proud to descend; Her cheeks have the peach's soft bloom Her laugh's like the music one hears where a stream ripples gladly along; Her eyes have a softness and depth that go with a soult that is that is strong; Her father has money In stacks; it is good to be classed as her friend; There is only one charm that she lacks her nose is turned up at the end. THE RETORT CALM AND QITCK. To Illustrate the ever ready wit of the Ir:'.i tl:e following story was told at a banquet held recently in the Commercial club. An Irishman on his way home at night was In the habit of tutting through a cemetery In order to short en the distance. A group of friends evolved a scheme to have some fun at his expense. Accordingly they found a sunken grave across which his path lay, dug it out and covered it with boards in such a manner that he must fall into the yayning cavity. The Irishman came along and ev erything happened as per schedule. While he was still squirming about in the bottom of the hole, striving to ex tricate himself, three or four of his friends, attired in white sheets and other ghostly accoutrements, sudden ly made their appearance. Pat was frightened out of his wits and almost fainted when one of them said: . "What are you doing in my grave?" The tone was sepulchral. It made the Irishman's hair stand almost on end, but he could not forego a witty retort. "Faith, and what are you doing out of it?" he asked.

"un the contrary," replied Mr S'ay den, with a twinkle in his eye, "I think it would make a lot of trou ble." "Well, can't you give me an inter view on it, now that the fight is over." "No," answered Mr. Slayden. "it would be against my principles. I never kiss and tell!" Philadelphia DOCTOR PF.nXKO HIS DIET. Sir Richard Jebb, the eminent phy sician, was a man of irritable temper, and when bored by the querulous complaints of some of his patients could not always force himself to re turn a civil answer. A troublesome patient, whose illness was purely im aginary, pestered him one day with questions as to what he should eat. "My directions on that point," said Sir Richard, "will be few and sim ple. You must not eat the shovel, poker, or tongs, for they are hard of digestion; nor the bellows, for they are windy; but anything else you please!'' London Tit-Bits. THEY ALL WEAK 'EM.

Idaho Few towns In the United States pay more for the edu cation of their children than does mace, a mining town in the center of the Coeur d'Alene district.

Bert Felblenian, manager of Cohan & Harris' theatrical productions, used to live in Indiana, and at the Hotel Astor, Manhattan, he told the Daugh ters of Indiana in New York, who were banqueting there, a story about the Hoosler poet, James Whltcomb Riley. "Riley used to tour the country with Bill Nye In lecture courses. One night, while the two were behind the scenes in the theater of some eastern town, Riley got tired of waiting while Nye tried to make himself beautiful, and tiptoeing to the drop curtain, peered out into the auditorium. He came back to Nye's dressing room In consternation. "Great Scott!" he whispered, "this Is awful! There ain't a pesky hand ful of people out there. Bill!"
