A CITy OF BOOKS.
How many youug men of Pendleton
will set aside ouo day's wages, each
month, for one yvar, for tho purpcac
of buyiusr books for a free library?
How many book lovers are Uiero In
Pendleton? What amount :an be
spared from the yearly salary to
civet a monument to the progress
and love of enlightenment of Pendle
ton workers? '
Have you evei thouRlit of It?
'You have, a thousand times
You are i In favor of It. Certainly,
you are, asiyoiijure In Mayor of every
other movement looking toward a
better life.
It is proposed to make. Portland a
city of roses. Well and good.
'That is an artistic aim. It furnishes
a.- pure and clean theme for discus
sion and a noble task to work at.
We will make a city of books and
will begin today.
In the midst of a populous and pros
perous community; an educational
center, with wider possibilities at
hand In. the erection of a new school;
a metropolis of the Inland Empire;
the home of hundreds of farmers and
stockmen whose property lies at a
distance from this city, yet who live
here to enjoy tthe advantages of this
city, we can and must provide enter
tainment' for the young men who are
building' characters here, and the
young women whq-are blossoming in
to f.the 'excellence of womanhood, as
future advisors, (said in all respect
fOT' the mastery of man) and help
meets of them.
Can you imagine a quicker way to
put' a name into effect than to call
Pendleton a city of books, and forth-!
with buy books to All It? Can you'
suggest a method 01 juakmn n better'
IK thnn thlrt? '
Can you think of a work that would
be$a stronger barrier against preva
lent temptations? It Is a suggestion,
only. Are you In favof of 'it or can
you improve upon it?
Are you willing to set aside 'twelve
days' wages for avyear, to make Ron
dleton thevclty of ibooks? TbJs-is now
before you.
It seems Impossible to believe that
a dozen prominent citizens of Port
land, all reasonably well acquainted
with Oregon conditions, could te bun
coed out of over one hundred
dollars each, by a fraudulent
timber locator. The very magnitude
of tthe proposition condemned IL If
there was a body of vacant timber
land in the very heart of tho oldest
settled nectlon of the state that would
accommodate 15 homesteader or
timber (claims. Homo roUablo man
could havo been found, acquainted

Portland is still shaking her skirts
in a vain endeavor to scare tho
gambling mouse away. Meantime, the
mouse sits nibbling at Its piece of
cheese, unterrlfled by the frantic con
tortions of the good old dame.
CAYU8E AND AUTOMOBILE.
An automobile and a pinto cayuse
going down the. street-side by side.
Yesterday and today the past and
present tho picturesque and the com
mercial the old and the now.
It is needless to say that on tho
back of the cayuse was a personage
as picturesque as he. And at the
rudder of the automobile was a figure
as expressive of modern Ideas as the
clipping, noiseless machine itself.
Strict business and despatch personi
fied1. Such gifts as this scarcely call
for a second glance.
Progress? -
Yes, and a progress that sufferslfor
lack of sentiment We are leaving ithe
old behind, just in projorUon as the
noiseless wheels leave thos clatter
ing hoofs behind.
It is a break neck pace!
What Is not, this day and age?
Seventy miles and hour by rail and
tourists cursing tho engineer for not
making time. Six days to uverpooi,
and busines men praying for the fly
ing machine, to outstrip the fledt-
winged vessel. A flash of the electric
spark that Is heard .in 20 seconds
around the earth tho earth that has
only been circumnavigated by man
four short centuries and the eager
public is shouting for Marconi to take
away tho bonds of steel and give us
a wave ot'.thought as- certain, and ten
fold swifter!
Thiw two objects am landmarks
on the borders of civilization.
They stand for two races of men.
They are symbols of two ages.
Vivtii ih KU-of nnil llnftririi' mem
ories of the one, we turn to the amaz
ing records of' tho other.
The country is passing under tthe
wondrous panoramic vista of change
that reaches from one of these ex
tremes to the other.
Mentality and doctrine are trav
eling the same upward path. Faith
and politics and economics are going
ahead even, as uio automouue .out
strip the ,pony express.
What. is it we call progress,, in
thought? Is It Mo preach and not to
practice? Is it to have advanced
Ideas and poor results?
Or in nmifrfiHR thi lolnlnc together
of the thought that moves away from
a given .stationary point and tho deed
that moves onward toward an Ideal
of action?
The pony Is out of place In govern
ment and politics today. Tho easy
limcli nf thn nut nmnlilllRr tho skill
and movement that forges ahead of
wornout truths is at tho loau.
Betterment is tho watchword every
where.
Nothing Is stationary. Wo either go
back or forward; the cayuse is an lm-
I
packsaddlo; the pneumatic tired bug
gy lords it over tne ox-can.
In Just such proportion today"

It Is easy to fret nnd trouble.
And It's hard to sing and smile.
Hut the anxious mood does nobody
goou,
And it really isn't wortli while.
It Isn't worth while to worry
Though others misunderstand,
And the good you do is thrown back
at you,
And the favored refuse their liand;
You ran call men cross nnd stupid,
And sneer at their gracoless guile.
Hut the cynlc'R part never helps the
heart.
And It really isn't wortli while.
It isn't worth while to worry
Though the battle for bread be sore
And the want nt home drives you
forth to roam
xV beggar from door to door;
You may not deserve such fortune.
Nor others deserve their pile.
Hut the reign of right will not come
with spite.
And It really Isn't worth while.
It isn t worth while to worry
Hut it 1 wortli while to trust.
And to keep one's faith that in life
or death
The triumph Is of the Just;
That infinite love and wisdom
Are guidlug us mile by mile.
And the stars may fall, but God's over
all
All! this really Is wortli while.

A WOMAN'S RSK
As a trapeze performer is greater than a
man's. She must have a man's courage
and a man's muscle to succeed. But
she must also work under conditions of
which a man knows nothing. Many

be attributed
to the sudden
weakuess to
which all
women are
subject at cer
