Pessimism is the philosophy of
fools. It is one thing to see tho
evil clearly and expose It brave
ly; it is quite another thing to
believe that the ovll Is omnipo
tent and overlastlng. Whether
we see it or not, all natural
forces are lighting against ovory
evil work and evil worker, and
are fighting for the supremacy
of love and wisdom in the world.
There are a good many towns
where God doesn't seem to be
the "boss," and whore such an
affirmation about Him would
seem to be ridiculously Inappro
priate. Yet back of all the temporal-'
and superficial successes
of selfish nnd sordid men "stand
eth God within the shadow,
keoplng watch above His own."
Robert Whlttaker In Sau

common as a fover and must be dealt
with accordingly.
When the RIgby-Clove harvester
manufactory was proposed for this
city, It was doubted by many leading
business men that there was a de
maud for such an enterprise hore. Be
fore the company had done a tap of
work, ten combined harvesters were
contracted to be delivered this sea
son. This is all the plant is capable
of turning out before harvest. As
many more of the machines could
have been sold this season had the
capacity of tho factory warranted It.
This is only one of the numerous
business opportunities that lie un
touched In Pendleton. Idle capital
could convert this city into a monu
facturlng center, at a profit to the In
vestors and to the permanent glory
of the community. The Pendleton
Cold Storage and Ico Factory, 'now
nearing completion, should have been
built years ago. Pendleton consumes
two tralnloads of N'orth Powder ice
each year and there will be a market
hero for overy pound of the output of
this factory. Pendleton needs brick,
tiling, miles of sower pipe, miles of
street paving and miles of asphalt
sidowalks. The business openings in
no city In tho West compare favorably
with those of Pendleton. The wonder
Is that capital can resist such temptations.
SNEAKING OUT OF LIFE.
What has struck the peoplo of this
good old planet, anyway? What
cause Is there' for such a hurrying,
scurrying, shoulder-jostling rush for
the next world, by way of the back
door of suicide? What mania prompts
a sane man to tip a cup of carbolic
acid to his lips or to pull a trigger
within a foot of his ear.'
Surely the Imaginary ills of the
world are not so appalling that a man
should be willing to risk the unknown
conditions of another world, to escape
them.
Poverty, discontentment and disap
pointment nro the alarming causes of
suicide. People cannot dress and
feast like a more fortunate neighbor
and they lose hope and sneak out of
life. ' Why don't they live and mako
a light? If conditions don't suit them
why don't they vote and work ami
preach for reform?
Don't get discouraged because
some monopoly crushes the life out of
you. Some of the rankest monopol
Ists that over lived on earth, havo
gono before you to another place, so
you will only rush Into their company
by committing suicide. Stay on earth
as long as you can. Make it better,
if only by so much ns one good hard
light for equality.
People have a habit of magnifying
Uielr troubles. The greatest fault of
socloty Is that It uses a telescope
when looking for scandal, troublo or
faults in others and hoodwinks Itself
when looking for good deeds and good
traits.
Because some personal grluvnnce Is
bearing down on you, don't Imagluo
that everybody you meet Is thinking
about It. Don't work yourself into a
frame of mind that persists in brood
ing. It is true, tho struggle for bread
and butter is u long, fruitless, pro
sale task, with many. Tho luxuries
that seem to multiply In the lianilw of
neighbors and friends seem elusive
when sought. The lawsof tho land
3eom to bo with tint' powerful, and this
liveuk man has no lover with which
to rise.
Vet in the face of ull this, suicide
is cowardly. In the face of all this
Inequality It Is bettor to Hvo a poor
man and fight a good light, than to
leave tho world by tho back door.
A study of the statistics of sui
cide roveala some of the most alarm
ing conditions that over confronted
tho human race. Tho Increase, of sui
cides among young people, from IB
to 25, has Increased 200 per cent In
ten years.
Tho strong, healthful, sane, vigor
ous, educated and talented full before
Its blight as well as tho old and de
crepit. If a dlseaso, where will it
end? If a creature of local condi
tions, will It not act as a self-destroying
agency of tho human race, as the
economic Ills that nro largely respon
sible for It, increaso?
'Not only moral philosophers, but
legislators must deal with the ques
tion. It can no longer bo cast asldo
ns ;a freak. It Is growing to be as
Tho Portland laundry owners have
absolutely refused to grant a nine
hour day, as requested by their em
ployes. Most of the laundry work
erg In Portland are women nnd glrld
and their work tequlres them to stand
up all day. Tho demand for a short
day is based on humane grounds. The
women employes claim that they can
not work full time under the present
ten-hour day as they become so worn
out from standing up day after day
that they must "lay off" to rest, and
thus lose time which they can 111 af
ford to spare, on the wages paid.
ABOUT THAT
COAT
A
You wear a coat. Why?
To keep the cold out ? No ;
to keep the warmth in.
What of the body that has
no warmth the thin, poor
body that lacks the healthy
flesh and fat it needs?
For such we say that Scott's
Emulsion provides the right
kind of a coat. Why? Be
cause Scott's Emulsion builds
firm, solid flesh and sup
plies just enough fat to fil
nature's requirements no
more. That means bodily
warmth.
We'll scud you a sample tree upon request.

THE "TREE OF LIFE."
The past good deeds of Russia nor
tho promise of future reform do not
atone for tho awful cruelties she has
Inflicted upon her Jewish residents
within the past two weeks. When
she seeks to establish a commercial
center In her Chinese possessions,
she Invites the Jew to lay the foun
dations, but In her blind fanaticism
she goes back four hundred years to
hunt up tortures for the defenseless
race when It becomes thrifty and self-supporting.
Hut Ilttlo over three mouths remain
until tho opening of another school
year and Pendleton Is doing nothlna
to prepare ror It. Every week that
passes increases the school popula
tion. Ijist February there were 50
pupils turned away for want of room.

this matter Is dangerous to the pros

A statue to Sacajawea, tho Inilluu
girl guldo of the Lewis nntt Clark
expedition, is now nn assured fact.
Tho mntter of raising funds for this
purpose has been referred to the wo
men's clubs throughout the stnto. The ,
more the history or this woman Is
read nnd rehearsed, tho greater up-!
pears the need of a statue or her at
the Lewis and Chirk Fair to complete
tho story of that memorable oxpetir

The expression "tree of life" has
more than a biblical or a symbolic

All animal life upon this planet is de
pendent upon the green Iron-contain

which gives their summer colorings to
trees, grass and shrubs. Green, not
blood-red, Is tho life color.
Knglish scientists have figured out
that such schemes as Sir Oliver

possible.
Disastrous forest fires In the Atll

Why
Pay as
Much
for an interior beer ?
Schlitz beer costs twice
what common beer costs
in the brewing. One-half
pays for the product; the
other half for its purity.
One-half is spent in
cleanliness, in filtering even
the air that touches it, in
filtering the beer, in ster
ilizing every bottle. And
it pays the cost of aging
the beer for months before
we deliver it.
If you ask for Schlitz
you get purity and age,
you pay no more than
beer costs without them.
