Longing for friends I may not hold, Madness of passion nnd place and gold? Beatrice Wllmans, In Overland. Tho sentiment of 'Councilman Sow ell, expressed when ho said tho city council was elected to represent tho taxpayers, will meet with a honrty responso among tho people. This is something too often lost Bight of. Too many members of the city council Imagine that thoy hold office for fun, without responsibility or liability to the public, and not because of any special litucss or business qunliflcn tlon. It will bo gratifying to the poo plo of tho third ward, In which the gas plant Is to be located, to know that Councilman Uenn, from that ward, did not offer a word in protest for his constituents. It was he who boasted thnt not a man outside of his (Renn's) pnrty, should hold a city ofllco while ho was on the council. This 1b his sole qualification for councilman, It would seem, from the speechless surprise In which ho lis toned to his own constituents plead their cause last night before the council. Western stockmen will now anpre elate more than over the value of liv telllgent co-operation In conducting Don't forget to tell your neighbor that Pendleton, the county seat of the richest county In Eastern Oregon, tho county that produces ono per cent of the wheat crop of the United States, will hold a farmers' institute on Thursday, Jiay 20, on the court house grounds." It is the first of a series of annual institutes that will be held hereafter, as long as the county Is on the map. It Is for free education. the affairs of their organizations. The winning from tho traffic associa tion of AVestern railroads, of tho re turn pass privilege, Is ono of the most laudable results of arbitration and organization that hns been achieved In the West. The traffic managers were right in their conten tions that the free transportation was a gift of so much money to tho stockmen, anil that It would be Jii3t as fair to ask the stock shipper to glvo tho president of the road a fat steer at tho end of each trip to mar- I ket. as for tho shipper to ask a free pass home. In the faco of this con tention, the railroads listened to rea son and Intelligent argument and con- rPllpil tllO nrlultnnn nfto. l,n..l., I . ...v . , nti., uimi lititlllfe withdrawn It at a general conference. The railroads and the stockmen should now have n nloro lasting re spect for each other. Both nro well organized for business, nnd both are fair In all matters that concern mu tual interests. T. D, Taylor, the efficient and pop ular sheriff of Umatilla county, en joys the distinction of having won in the election of 1902 with the largest plurality of any candidate In tho field, Ills plurality being 727! His able services during his term has In creased his populnrtly until this plu rality should be doubled in 1904. Not withstanding the fact that tho now tax regulations made it necessary to employ more help In the sheriff's of fice, Mr. Taylor has conducted the of fice on less expense than formerly required. These facts must be borne In mind by the taxpayers. Economy and efficiency cannot be lost sight of in county elections. Walla Walla expresses the right sentiment In raising her theater 11. censes from $25 to $75 per quarter. A councilman who Introduced the or dinance said that Walla Walla was exporting too much money and not importing enough. Tho high-class theater companies that charge $1 and -over for parquet admittance, will hereafter bo charged $10 license, lor each performance, those charging less than $1, halt that sum. The con tention of the council is that theater prices are out of keeping with , tho surroundings and that considering other Incomes and taxes In the city, these costly theatrical companies , should pay a higher license. In order to equalize the benefits they enjoy from the community. The action of W. D. Chamberlain In declining a third term as county clerk In spite of a strong following In the convention, endeared him to tho people of - Umatilla county as nothing else could have done. His services as clerk had been so high ly satisfactory, that his frlonds wore willing to brush uslilo tho third term bugaboo, In order to contlnuo such nn efficient man in tho clork'u office, and Mr. Chamberlain's unselfish action In refusing to listen to their solicita tions, guaranteed him a hnntlsomo majority as representative. Tho same offlclent, public Hplrlted, toler ant policy will mark his career ns representative that has so prominent ly characterized his terms ns county clerk. His knowledge of tho needs of Umatilla county gleaned from his closo contact with county affairs es pecially fits him for some good serv ice In tho legislature In tho Interest of his county and atato. Two stronger men could not navo been named than Thnt tho direct primary nominating amendment is Indorsed by such broad-minded and thoughtful men as Senator Mitchell, Mayor Williams, and Governor Chamberlain, regard less of party or creed. Is almost a sure guarantee of Its success nt the polls. The ieople of Oregon should put the power of the ballot In the hands of tho voters nnd out of the hands of tho bosses. The direct pri mary nominating amendment Is not a partisan measure, but Is Indorsed by nil classes and conditions of men. A. 1.. Mills, president of the First National Bank of Portland, one of the largest banking Institutions on the coast, is president of the League and W, S. U'Rcn, tho most aggres sive reformer in the state, or possi bly In tho entire West, Is secretary. This Incongruous combination of seemingly opposite forces In society in lavor of this law, Is an assurance thnt there is absolute honesty In the purpose of Its promoters, It is an effort toward clean government through clean politics, Nobody but some boss or nmchlno politician can conscientiously oppose tho amend ment, because It simply places tho nominating power In the hands- of tho voters, Instead of which packed con ventions. Don't forget to vote "yes" on this amendment. If the residents of Pendleton had caused one-half the stir when tho council voted away their rights In tho 25-year franchise to tho gas company that they havo made over tho loca tion of tho plant, tho result would have been better for tho community. Tho franchise Is now lodged In tho Inside pocket of tho company, tho people get nothing for tho first ilvo years of the llfo of the company, and an insignificant sum thereafter, but not a word of protest was raised against that action of tho council. Kicking now will, do no good. Tho franchise was thofmaln prlzo coveted by tho company. Tho location will now bo forced upon tho people. How do tho taxpayers llko this prop osition, anyway? Thoy will bo called upon to pay more and moro taxes as tho city grows, and this company will bo enjoying tho peoplo's fran chise scot free, oxcopt for a Httlo "charity" gas Jot In tho ofllco or tho city recorder. It will tako a fow les sons of this kind to awakon tho tax prayers, at tho tlmo of tho municipal elections. In a city of 12UU voters that permits 300 of thnt number to elect tho officers nnd saddlo tho poli cy on tho peoplo, there must ho some thing radical to uwakon civic interest and prido. Novor mind. Tho odor of tho gas plant will ho confined by a high board fence. If a man loses nil bis money ho also manages to loso nearly all his onemles, THE PIRATE AND THE CABMAN. Sir Humphroy Slasher, bucenneor, Unto Now York came ho, Wearing a plrato's snlckor-sneor And a two-edged snlcker-snee. The trade upon tho main was bad And things looked dark and brown. But modern wenpons must bo had; And thut was why, discouraged, and, Sir Humphrey came to town. A hansom-cab he straight did hall: "Good cabby, rnb thou mo To some convenient bnrgnlii-snle Of pirates' cutlereo." Tho cabby did as ho was bid With deft and graceful touch, And when they reached their Jour ney's end Sir Humphrey asked, "How much?" "Five dollars net," the cabby cried, "For ye have gone a mile I charge one dollar for the ride. Four dollars for the style. "Keep mo not hero," (be cabby said, With glance of llery scorn; "He prompt to pass your ducats o'er, For many more and many more I'll plunder ere tho morn." Tho pallid pirate paid his fare And swore by Blackboard's hand: "I might have been a millionaire. Had I but stayed on laud. "I'll trade my cutlass for tho whip, My helmet for the plug. The cnb henceforth shall bo my ship, Ulch loot thorln to lug, "No moro by methods shivery To capture nnd maroon Mo for tho cabman's livery To catch the bright doubloon." Today Sir Humphroy sits in pride Among tho black-clad crew Where pirates on their hansoms ride Along tho avenue. Man, woman, child, within his bark Ho holds for ransom there. No more his cry. "No quarter!" hark His hideous summons, "tare: Wallace Irwin. WHY STATt TAXES ARE HIGH. Tho republican majority in tho Oregon legislature Is always CO to 70 on Joint ballot. The condition Is un fortunate for the state, ami a positive detriment io the republican party. So enormous a majority naturally tends to make the legislative body extrav agant. Appropriations aro proposed, and the majority, carried on with a mad consciousness of Its power and nernetuitv. yields to overy demnnd. and tho aggregate sum that is finally appropriated Is simply enormous. It Is a crlmo that so small a coun ty as Benton should be compelled to yield up $25,000 n year as Its part of what the legislature appropriates. It would bo far better for tho republi can party, and for the state, If moro democrats were elected to tho legis lature, and tho overwhelming repub lican majority In that body reduced. It would make the majority party moro carotin anu economicui m n appropriations, nnd save dollars nnd dollars to every taxpayer. It Is a question of business as well as a nuestlon of party safety for republi cans themselves to help reduce this majority. This Is emphatically true in this non-polltlcul year, when there Is no United States senator to elect. Corvallis Times. It Is the grave cases of a physician that benefit the undertaker. When a woman gives UP l ' because the has gone to the utmost limit of strength and endurance. It is a marvel how women will stagger on under the dally household burdens when the whole body is racked with pain. For the nervous, run-down condition which so many women experience, as a result of overstrain in household cares, there is no medicine can equal Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It strengthens the weak stomach by cur ing diseases of the organs of digestion and nutrition. It .purifies the blood of poisons which cause rheumatism and other painful diseases. It nourishes the nerves, aii'l builds up the body with sound, healthy flesh. There is no alcohol in "Golden Med ical Discovery" and it is entirely free from opium, cocaine and all other nar cotics. Accept no substitute for the " Discov ery." There is nothing "just as good" for weakness, nervousness and debility. "I want the whole world to know what Dr. Pierce's medicines hve doneor me." writes Mrs. Helen Hsrdgrove. of Usiiks, Knox Co., o., H had many of the ills of woman's life. MY lung and throat troubled me besides, and I had rheumatism. About a year so I had to le up work I was so bad. I had heard so much about your medicine I thought I would try it. I took four bottles of your 'Golden Medical Dis covery ' and 'PcUets,' and by the time I bad taken half or the drat bottle I began to gain, and kept on geltlnir better. And now 1 have no more of my old ailments sud am entirely cured of rheu matism, I feel like a new woman.''
