Tlie man in life, wherever
placed.
Hath happiness In store.
Who walks not In the wicked
ways
Nor learns their guilty lore!
Nor from the seat of scornful
pride,
Casts forth his ayes abroad.
But with humility and awe,
Still walks before his God!
That man shall flourish like
the trees.
Which by the streamlets
flow!
The fruitful top is spread on
high.
And firm the roots below.

CHECK THE EXTRAVAGANCE.
The army appropriation bill report
ed by Senator Proctor on Saturday
amounts to J77.500.000, or JL',300,000
more than at first estimated.
The farmers and merchants of
Umatilla county are digging down,
into their profits to pay for the in
creasing war expense. Think of the
enormous expenditure for the war
department alone, for one year!
It amounts to $1 per capita for
jvery man, woman and child In the
United States, and is increasing con
stantly! And what good returns are
coming from it?
They say the country Is widening
jind needs more protection. What
does this widening process and heav
ier arniy and navy expenses mean to
the common neoP'e' It means that
they can pay more tnxes and go to
-war oftener, .
Tho great syndicates have corner--ed
the resources of tho now posses
sions, .and the government must
spend the people's money in protect
.ing the syndicates' Interests.
Tho same policy which is piling up
this staggering war bill Is striving
to Increase the already enormous
.alary of the president, vice-president
and members of congress; the same
policy has denied the people a river
and harbor appropriation for tho
year, and contemptuously snubB the
struggling settlements of tho West,
barred from the markets of tho world
liy Insignificant river obstructions
which congress should huvo removed
20 'years ago."
Spend millions on tho growing
army and usoless navy and deny the
cities of the country a decont fedoral
building In which to maintain the
yostulllco? Tux tho peoplo to height
en tho glumor of war, nut ilony them
Internal improvements by which en
tiro atatos would bo Incomparably
blessed.
Isn't It about time this war and
navy uruzu was checked by tho taxed
masses? In what way do the cltl
sons of l'ondloton and Umatilla coun
ty, and thousands of other communi

GARDEN SEEDS.

Fine Onion Seeds, 90c a pound.
Flower Seeds In bulk or pack- o
age at lowest prices. J
ties, get a direct benefit from their
enormous proportion of ta.os pah'
to the national government?
The government absolutely refuses
to erect buildings for iiostofflcos in
cities of 7000 people. Millions are
tnkon out of the West ami added to
the unnecessary war bill, but tho
people of the West are forgotten in
t!e distribution of public blessings.
Hasn't this war craze convinced
tho masses that It Is time to get
down to the actual work of Improving
the West? Isn't It time that some of
the people's money was spent In tho
struggling cities of the country, just
to make the common people kno'-V
that they havo a government which
upprecUt3 their presence and the:r
lax paying capacity?
Give us fewer brass buttons and
more federal buildings; fewer battle
ships and mure river boats!
Shipbuilding In Maine Is practi
cally at an end. If It were not for
the millions of dollars Invested in
machinery and plants, the great ship
building companies of that stato
would go out of business within a
few years. Most of the best ship
timbers are sent Into the state from
outside timber belts. Why Is this?
you ask. It Is because of ruthless
waste. A tearing down, destroying
process for hundreds of years and no
upbuilding. .Millions of acres of tim
ber stripped from the mountains and
not a tree planted to replaco tho
waste. Lumbering In Michigan and
Wisconsin is dwindling down and
down and the great companies are
crowding Into the matchless forests
of the Northwest states and Canada.
Why Is lumbering In those stales di
minishing? Tho constant tearing
down and no upbuilding, no rejuve
nation. Millions of acres stripped
and not one planted. Why are the
great railroad systems of tho East
planting timber on every waste foot
of land? To meet the future demands
for ties; to economize In expenses.
Can anyone question the wisdom of
the government in preserving the for
est areas of the West, when these
startling facts are considered? Can
the robber land syndicate bo checked
too (julckly to protect the vital Inter
ests of the people? Can loose land
laws be too quickly repealed to pre
serve tho blessings of the West to
the future? Shall the story of Michi
gan and Maine be repeated In Ore
gon? For every tree destroyed one
should be planted.
The East Oregontan belluves that
the local option amendment to be
voted upon at the coming election,
should be accepted. It is but just
that every community should bo at
liberty to select its own surroundings
and make its social atmosphere. If
one community should happen to bo
composed of people to whom tho
liquor traffic is offensive, that com
munity should enjoy freedom from
tho presence of the saloon. The se
lection of such vital things as moral
surroundings should remain always
In the hands of the people. There Is
no tyranny worse than the tyranny
of laws which communities did not
make or cannot unmake, and yet
which are objectionable, inasmuch as
they create objectionable surround
ings. Every voting precinct should
have a right to chose Us environ
ment, within tho bounds of law and
order.

SPRING IN UMATILLA.
Tourists by tho thousands,
Hushing to the West,
Every trail and wagon road
liy their hot feet pressed!
Falling o'er each other,
For n chance to buy,
Anything acceptable,
'Neath Umatilla sky!
Richest dirt you over trod,
Sunniest skies above,
Room enough for thousands, yet,
Easy, men! Don't shove!
Lambs upon a thousand hills.
Plow teams swarming thick,
Doctors going out of biz,
People can't got sick!
Hayseed In his overalls,
Hloated plutocrat,
Holding wheat for 09,
Tourist, think of that!
Richest country over saw,
Tempting skies above,
Think you'll drive a peg and stay?
(Easy men. Don't shove.)
Each day like a holiday,
On the busy streets,
.Merchants sorting stacks of coin,
Jlormons planting beets!
Country roads all swarming,
Hitch racks always full,
Listen to tho city grow,
Grow without n "pull"!
Shake off all the Eastern dust,
Here's rt land you'll lovt
Come, and be a "jlner",
(Easy, though. Don't shove!)

THE GYPSY WIND.
The gypsy wind goes down the night
I hear htm lilt his wandor-call;
And to the old divine delight
Am I a thrall.
It's out, my heart, against the stars
Along the hill-ways dim and deep!
Let those who will, behind dull bars,
Commune with sleep!
For me the freedom of tho sky,
The violet easinesses that seem
Packed with a sense of mystery
And brooding dream!
For me the low solicitudes
The tree-tops whisper each to
each :
Tho silences wherein intrudes
No mortal speech!
For me far subtler fragrances
Than the magician morn trans
mutes; And minstrelsies and melodies
From fairy lutes!
.My cares the harrying brood take
flight;
.My woes they lose their galling
sting;
When I. with the hale wind of night,
Go gypsylng.
Clinton Scollard In Century.
PRINCIPLE IS SACRED.
Power Is always dangerous, always
despotic, nnd power always exists
where concentrated property rights
exist. And enormous wealth can on
ly exist where some open or conceal
ed monopoly exists. Theso are the
problems for the children of the
future.
And the struggle for office between
such men as Hill and Gorman on one
side ,and Hnnna and Piatt on the
other, is of no more real Interest to
the mass of th& people than the
