Although the East Oregonian, along with a great majority, condemns Son ator Tillman for his hasty action, It feels that President Roosevelt has belittled himself, weakened himself, by writing the letter to Senator Till man. Time will prove It. When did the president become judge and jury for the country? Would it not have been better If lie had not laid himself open to the charge that he did It to "play to the country" and because Tillman was a democrat? JOAQUIN MILLER'S EARLY POEMS THE CITY SQUABBLE. There is going to be the usual amount of dust this summer. Street sprinkling is going to be more of a necessity than in any previous year. Last year it was done by subscrip tions, contributed by the public spir ited "few" of Pendleton. A compar atively few people contributed the money and all of the people enjoyed the benefit .of It.' It was a case of I the many "doing" the few, which is seldom of record. The "few" this year are not going to provide street sprinkling benefits. They are preparing to take dust in theirs, and this they will do unless the city council provides a way to carry on the street sprinkling. So far, nothing has been done. This in activity is laid to "the marshalship trouble." However, everything for the time being is laid to that. The fact of the matter is, it is time for the few men concerned in that squab ble to get out of the way, to either settle their differences or resign, even if the mayor, the council, marshal and recorder have to send in their resignations. Surely the people of Pendleton have some rights; surely not one of these men would allow their personal interests to swerve them from their public duty? It is time something was done. The interests of the city are being neglected, while a handful of .men split hairs and stand on their so-called dignity. A lot of school boys should not be so unreasonable arid unfaithful to a public trust. Since the council cannot agree, sup pose the different members of it draw lots to see who shall and shall not resign. With one or two resigna tions acted on, the council would be in position to transact the business ofHhe city. Oh, for a Tillman to "knock out" a few of those who stand in the way, who would ruin it they cannot rule. One resignation! from the council would settle and clear matters. Let's have it. ROOSEVELT TO TILLMAN. ' President Roosevelt made a mis take in withdrawing his Invitation to Senator Tillman to a dinner at the White House, given In honor of Prince Henry, because of the part Senator Tillman took in the disgrace ful scene, which occurred in the sen ate, in open session, on .Saturday last. Senator' Tillman's action in resent ing with a blow, for being denounced "a malicious liar" by Senator McLau rin, was on the impulse of the mo ment, and nine persons out of ten would have done as ho did. The language of MoLaurin was provoked by similar language on the part of Tillman". Words led up to words, and a disgraceful scene was the result. Notwithstanding, all of us condemn the action, most of us must consider ourselves in tho senators' places and ask oursolvos how we would have ac ted under similar circumstances. Did President Roosevelt, tho man who believes in a "strenuous life," ask himself the question, before he took sides in writing Tillman with drawing tho invltatiou? If he had he would nover had written tho lettor, but big man as ho is, Ignored tho dis graceful incident, and not rubbed ealt upon hl3 follow man's wounds. There is only one Joaquin inlllor, One was enough. It would seem that nature never in intended such geniuses to travel in pairs. That Miller is a genius, the world lias rendered its verdict. His poetry is nearer to nature', and his prose is symmetrical word-paint- ing. Joaquin Miller's flrst book was pub Iished at Portland, Ore., in April, l8Gg. He brought the manuscript to George H. Himes, who set the type and printed a few hundred copies, fi. ii , wnicn tne autnor distributed among ins mends tor their criticism. it was a small book of oi pages, with paper covers, and one of the few remaining copies is preserved in mo rocco by Secretary Himes, among the treasures of the Oregon Historical Association. xiie title of the book is "Spec! mens." and one of its most musical specimens reads as follows: The hills were brown and the heavens were blue, And a woodpecker pounded a pine- top shell; While a partridge whistled the whole day through For a rabbit to dance in the chap paral. Mr. Miller began the book with the following preface: "As these lines were printed 6nly for a few friends, this is rather a let ter to them than a preface. I anti cipate your disapproval, not so much of the matter your love for me would conceal that but that I write at all, for you always insisted that poetry was out of place here, and that rhyming was a mild type of in sanity. "When I became to manhood, being thus urged, because of love for you, I put it aside put it aside as you would your blue-eyed children from your hearthstone, and on the rough edge of the frontier, walled from tho world by the savage grandure of the Blue mountains, I pursued the rugged route of my profession. "Then. I fell ill and down In the sha dows the heart hungered after the beautiful and the soul went out after the sweet ideal, a dove on waters, and brought these things. That is why I have written. "I had intended, in connection with Minnie Myrtle, printing a book, but have not time now. I take these two pieces from the collection, which sug gests the name. Specimens they are, maybe of 'the earth earthy,' and have quartz and other things clinging to them; but I certainly believe that tney possess some of the true metal. else you should not now have "Speci mens." "C. H. MILLER, Canyon City, Ore., April 1, 18GS." "Specimens" comprised but two poems. One was entitled "Loua El lah," and was a talo of the Rogue River War, describing the experienc es of an old frontiersman who had lived among the Indians and married one of their women. Later he had re turned to the Whites, and 20 years later was in the front ranks of a vol unteer company fighting against the same tribe he had formerly lived with. In the hand to hand struggle that ensued the white man and the half breed son he had left among tho In dians linished each other, and dis covered thMr kinship at tho last, and the halfbreed daughter closed the oyes of both. One of the verses in "Loua Ellah" reads: More that's saintly, less that's human, Nover was in mortal woman. God had saved tho best material And had bottled all the good He "had found in realms aerial, In the intricate creation Of everything of name or nation, Since an ago before tho flood, And had used in her creation That material, and that good. The second poem In tho .book Is entitled "Shadows," and is a brief border talo descriptive of justice over taking roughs and assassins. . Miller's Second Book. In his flrst book Mr. Miller was plain C. H. Miller. Tho next year he again enmo down from tho mining camp of Canyon City in tho Blue Mountains, and Issued his second book whose title page was as follows: JOAQUIN, ET AL., BY CINOINNATUS H. MILLER, then in her charming childhood and her father's Joy. Later on, while yet a mere girl, she entered upon a romantic career by going on the stage and afterwards married an actor. Her eyes were recently closed In eternal sleep at her father's home on Oakland Heights. ExuovGrnor Ponnoyer still pre serves the copy of the book presented to him by the poet, who wrote on the fly leaf: "Sylvester Pennoyer, lrom C. H. Miller, The first copy Issued.' At that time Mr, Ponnoyer was edi tor of the Oregon Herald, and in re viewing the book he pronounced Mr Miller a poet, said that he possessed tho spark ofgenius, and predicted a future for him. These are the opening stanzas in Mr. Miller's second book: Shadows that shroud the tomorrow Glists from the life that's within Traces of pain and of sorrow, And maybe a trace of sin Reaching for God in the darkness, Ajid for what should have been. Stains from the gall and the worm wood Dead Sea apples and myrrh Ghost of a soul by a hearthstone Blotches of heart's blood here, But never the sound of a walling Never the sign of a tear. Glintings of day in a darkness Flashings of flint and of steel Blended in gossamer texture, Tho ideal and the real; Limn'd like the phantom-ship shadow, Crowding up under the keel. This modest little second book was only four by six inches in size, but It had cloth binding, and contained 112 pages, 39 of which were devoted to the story of Joaquin Murietta the California outlaw. This little book attracted atten tion to Miller, and, as was customary in mining camps, he was at once nicknamed "Joaquin." He had no objection to the title and adopted it as his own. When Mr. Miller came from the mountains to Portland in 1SG9 he brought with him a large package of poems in manuscript. With these he continued on to San Francisco, and before long turned up in London at tired in frontier garb. Leading lit erary men at once took him up and gave him every assistance in pub lishing his book under the name of 'Songs of tho Sierras." His genius was recognized at once, lie was patronized and became fa mous, and ever since then the pro ducts of his pen have been eagerly sought. But no matter where ho may roam, no matter "how high the state of his prosperity, he never forgets Oregon and her beautiful Blue Mountains, the region where he made his start. J. W. REDDINGTON, in Portland Oregonian. Lonely Homes A home li never complete without children. Yet many homes are childless. Many wives are desolate for the lack of a child to love.
