Those who make war on county ofllclals and havo not the nerve (o appear In person before them anil give solid reasons for their grlev ances have one remedy left, always, when the people sustain the officers They can say, "Never mind, wait un til another election! Then the peo ple will do their duty at the polls." It Is like tho pettish boy who has a grievance against his teacher, and is going to lick him when he gets grown. There is never, very" much alarm about such threats. If the assessments of the county, were made under tho solemn oaths of property owners as to value, the as sessor can not very well go around them, yet ho does sometimes do It. But in order to prevent the as sessor from showing favoritism, should he be a corrupt official, a law is provided by which a board of equalization is formed to pass upon valuations. The meeting of this board is always well advertised, and citizens may appear before this board and complain at any assess ment that has been made and compel an Investigation. It Is as much the duty of every citizen to unearth ir regularities in tho administration of county affairs as it is for the official in charge. The man knowing of ir regularities, who seta back without the courage to go before tho proper tribunal and say so. Is not a good citizen. Every man is interested in good administration of the county government, and he who howls on the outside and tries to cast insinuations and stir up prejudice, generally gets what he deserves the horse laugh from the substantial citizens. The assessments havo been made. They were mado under oath. The board of equalization is now in ses sion. If taxpayers have sworn false ly, any citizen may go and prove it and havo the assessment raised. It is not In good taste to let It pass and depend upon getting even at tho polls. There are enough other lies to contend with at that time, and besides it will bo too late to right tho present wrong. Thero is but ono thing for the chronic, or other kick er to do,' and that is to go beforo the board of equalization and make his complaint at headquarters, or shut up. This Is a hard thing for the chronic to do, It Is true, but their words would havo more weight in the future "if they would try this pi nn. sEast Oregonlan has no axe to grind either way, but believes In com mon sense. A majority of tho people aro generally right. . They general ly make the proper selection in electing officers. Tho people seem to bo satisfied as a whole with the present assessments. Tho test is now on and not a complaint has been made. Tho field Is open. When there is a field open for a fight tho brave go forth and do battle. Tho cowards lie back In tho brush and try to cre ate trouble that they may havo' an opportunity to plunder. But they aro seldom heeded. Officers aro supposed to do their duty, Umatilla county officers stand well beforo tho people. Thero Is not ono afraid to do bis duty. Let these insinuations cease against them, or let those who havo honest grievances stand forth! King Alfonso's mother bad to give up tho flght. Sho has agreed to re tiro. She will no longer appear ob- 4 -4 fiillTI1 noxious to the boy king's eyes. Shu has tho consolation, however, of tak Ing her husband along with her. Truly, thoso kings and "royal bloods" make the man of the coun try of tho free and the bravo smile. Thoy aro passing. Tho days of re publics are coming. Only figure heads now, the crowned heads can only try to imitate the royal splen dor and tommy-ret of their ancestors. A boy king, half-idiot and half-slm-pletou to rule the destinies of a na tlons! No wohder America Is Invad ing the European country through every avenue in tho march of civili zation. A West Virginia woman threw her rival from a wharf causing her death. It is claimed that women aro sinking deeper in crime at a more rapid rate than men. This is not true. " It Is only because a crime looks blacker when committed by a woman, who is considered so far above man In puri ty and Innocence. Nearly all of wo men's crimes grow out of jealousy. It is to bo wondered what thoy seo in a man, the poor, abused things, to so lose their mind over him ns to commit a rash act. Some folks speak lightly of tho work of commercial associations. They say it is all wind and working on paper and spouting hot air. While these fellows s,et back and ridicule, the commercial bodies aro advertising the resources of the coun ty and inducing men of enterprise to join us. Yet all reap a benefit alike from the good work of tho en terprising citizens. MISTER MULLER. Maud Muller's father honest soul Was worried o'er the price of coal. Ho talked about It all tho while, And very near forgot to smile. He vowed, with bated, trembling breath, That everyone would freezo to death. Because the heartless coal combines Would not start digging in the mines. Each day he'd to his cellar go And shako his head both sad and slow. Because the furnace had an air As though It wondered why 'twos thero. He bent beneath the heavy weight Of gazing at the empty grate. And oft with sighs he would deplore The sorrow of the furnace door. While mirthlessly he sometimes laughed Because no smoke was in tho draft. But Maudlc, optimistic maid, Told papa not to bo afraid. Tho Judge she said, had ceased to court, And now, sho Joyed, she might report. Her hand she had been a3ked to yield . To ono who owned a great coalfield, To ono who had a right dlvlno To all the fuel in the mine, And so sho planned a fitting dress To graco a new Coal Baroness. Tho wedding day was bright and fair' But Maudlo's papa was not there, For, While she gave her hand and heart Ho hustled 'round and hired a cart, And whllo tho twain were turned to ono Ho stowed away -ton after ton, For ho believed, did Maudle's pa,' This was a proper son-in-law. Of all tho words to make us grin, Tho claddest are: "We've filled tho bin." Baltimore American. THE DESK 8LAVE'8 80NQ. O tills Is tho song of tho man who's chained All day to a roll top desk; Who, sweltering over a type-machine, AbQitmntli n ftlmnn urntPHflUG. Tho breezo and sunset - nre not for mm, The sky is n mere hearsay; Ho sits ami grinds 'mid the rustling sheets Through all of the dull, dull day. Ho thinks of tho years when hU hands wero hard, His arms like tho best of steel; Ho thinks of the days when his lltbo limbs made (lood time on a racing wheel. He thinks of tho days when ho held his own In harvesting hay or grain Then smiles at tho thought Unit n croquet game Can give him a next-day pain. Ho sighs to remember tho mighty brawn He showed on the collego track; Ho thinks of tho days when ho play ed baseball, And wishes thoso days were ba"V:; He thinks of himself in a football suit t Well padded and picturesque, Then weeps o'er recalling the ilabby form That's chained to tho roll-top do.'k. O man In tho field, with tho hoe or plough O man with the ditching spade! Yearn hot for the "easy, white-handed Job" Instead of your sturdy trade.. There's money sometimes In the office grind There's life In the work you do! You nre fanned and warmed by tho breeze and sun And arched with a roof of blue. Your food Is tho food of a hungry man You sleep like the dead at night. Your muscles aro firm and your heart Is good, Your cause is tho cause of right; We slaves of the desk would re nounco our hope Of wealth or a "raise" hi pay If we could but feel as wo used to feel Back there in our "husky" day.
