Personal ambition Is a mis
take. The only man who can
afford to be active In politics
Is ho who does not want office
and who Is Indifferent to poli
tical honors. It seems to mo
It Is the duty of the preacher
to Inspire such men to take
an active Interest In public
affairs: men who, If they do
not live to hear tho glad
voices of the reapers, will find
reward enough In tho knowl
edge that I hoy helped to break
the ground and sow the seed.
My three years' experience In
politics has been worth every
thing it has cost. I have had
a shocking revelation of the
weaker side of human naturo.
I have also come to know
men whose character and pat
riotism outweigh all the dis
couragements and leave a bal
ance on tho side of faith in
man and hope for the repub
lic. IlKV. HERIJEHT S. DIGELOW.
tho samo dark groveling, fanaticism
Is found In all its original grotesque-
jicss and ferocity that marked tho
meridian height of tho reign of Ghen-
gls Khan, In Iho 13th century.
Submitting outwardly to Russian
arms, tho ancient jngols have re
pelled, Inwardly, ovcry invasion of
oven tho Russian article of civiliza
tion and tho announcement to these
waiting hordes by Impostor priests
that their gods of sun, moon and fire
havu caled them to past off the for
eign yoke and reestablish their olden
kingdom, Is responded to with a
frenzy that startles oven tho phleg
matic Russian,
Tho scope and fury of a general
Mongol uprising, fired with the zeal
of a brutal and unreasoning fanati
cism, Is something appalling for Rus
sia to think of. For a thousand years
the passions and fury of tho Mongol
havo lain dormant.
No awakening torch has touched
the combustible frenzy of his nature.
Ho has nursed his smoldering feroc
ity tinder quasl-rostralnt and now to
see It kindled and turned loose upon
tho earth may well causo consternation.
THE MONGOL UPRISING.
Tho world knows as little of tho
truo Mongols, hidden away In tho Si
berian fastnesses of Tomsk, as It does
of the mysterious Thibetan capital.
Into which no Caucasian has ever set
foot and lived to tell tho tale.
Tho fanatical uprising of tho Mon
gol tribes in Central Siberia, reported
by tho press dispatches, recalls to
students of history one of the most
wonderful periods in human history.
In the 13th century Asia was a
Mongol stronghold from tho Chinese
seaboard oven to tho very forests of
Poland and Germany.
Ghengls Khan conquered almost the
whole of Central Asia In 1239 and
1240 and the Mongol kingdom con
tained more square miles and more
teeming millions than any other em
pire In history.
For C000 miles across Asia and
Europe this barbarian despot held
sway and levied tribute on India,
Asia Minor, Arab'la and Indo-Chlna.
His savage hordes spared neither
art, ago, youth nor Innocence In their
marauding conquests. Fierce and
brutal, unrestrained and fanatical
they comprised the most destructive
and ferocious forco over recorded In
tho annals of history.
They lived In tho tent and tho sad
dle. Thoy proyed on every border
land that promised booty, blood and
crime to satiate their lust.
Finally tills vast, seething, mould
ering mass of humanity broke up Into
numberless kingdoms, tribes and
hordes, each preying upon the other.
Along tho very route of tho Trans
Siberian railway, tho Mongol migra
tion started westward toward Rome.
Tho Huns that swept tho eternal city
to the earth was the advance guard
of that wonderful migration from Cen
tral Asia into Europe. One thousand
years ago Hungary was founded by
ono of theso straggling hordes of bar
barians. Turkey Is tho sciou of another Mon
gol tribe that had its origin on tho
borders of tho Pacific In Northern
Manchuria and tho whole of Eastern
Europe Is primarily of Mongol origin.
As the great torrent of tho pastor
al nations poured westward out of
Asia, Btraggllng tribes dropped by tho
wayside and planted themselves along
tho groat Inland rivers of Siberia,,
where today tho only truo Mongol
blood is found.
For a full thousand years theso
brutal bands havo lived pastoral, mi
gratory lives, nursed their groveling
superstitions and hated tho multiply
ing Caucasian racos, encroaching on
tholr ancient domain.
The vast steppes of Tomsk havo
nurtured tho Mongol races. Tho ro
pellant climate, tho almost inaccessi
ble rogion occupied by them nnd tho
nou-productlvenoss of tho country
under their barbarian methods, havo
forbidden all hut tho meagerest con
tact with tho civilized nations.
Today, in North Central Siberia,
An Instanco of corporato greed that
deserves a severe rebuko by tho
courts has just como before tho pub
lie in Yakima valloy. Tho Washing
ton Irrigation Company has secured
magnlficant water rights belonging In
justice to the settlers on tho farming
lauds and because tho settlers refuse
to pay an unjust toll of $2.G0 per
acre per year for the uso of water.
the company threatens to shut off the
water just at tho critical Irrigation
period and permit crops to perish. An
Injunction has been applied for to pre
vent this ruinous procedure and tho
matter will go Into tho courts, Tho
cost of bringing water over tho lands
in question was about $7 per acre, or
$1120 per ICO acres, and at $2.50 per
aero per year, or $400 per 1C0 acres,
for Water privileges this corporation
proposes to tax the Bottlers In Yaki
ma valley 28 per cent per annum on
an Investment of $1120 per quarter
section for cost of irrigation system.
The land Is worth $60 per acre or $8,
000 per 1C0 acres, making tho water
tax to this corporation SO mills on
tho dollar or nearly double tho
amount of all other taxes combined.
In tho first place the water rights
should belong perpetually to tho land
adjacent to the stream, and should
never be monopolized for speculation.
In tho second place, the extortion of
tho company thus tnxlng tho peoplo
amounts to usury and should not bo
countenanced by any court. No won
der tho government cries out against
speculation In water, where such In
stances of Injustice are found.
Out of the silences wake mo a song,
Heautlful, sad and soft nnd low;
Lot tho loveliest music sound along.
And wing each note with a wall of
woe
Him and drear,
And hope's last tear,
Out of the silences wake mo a hymn,
Whoso sounds nre llko shadows, soft
and dim.
Out of tho stillness In your heart
A thousand songs arc sleeping
there
Wnko mo n song, thou child of art!
Tho song of n hope In a last de
spair, Dark and low.
A chant of woo.
Out of the stillness, tone by tone,
Cold as a gnowllake. low as a moan,
Out of tho darkness Hash mq a song,
Urlghtly dark and darkly bright;
Lot It sweep as a lone star sweeps
along
The mythical shadows of the night.
Sing It sweet.
My soul to greet.
Where nothing Is drear, dark or dim,
And earth-song soars into heavenly
hymn,

The surprising statement is made
by the advocates of temperance that
tully one-third of the area of tho
United Stntes is now under strict
prohibition through tho operation of
various local option regulations and
state laws. Tho statement seems in
credible at first glanco and yet tho
United States Is honeycombed with
temperance communities, which havo
voluntarily adopted prohibition, much
as Milton has done, Independent of
any general law, Tho growth of the
Idea is the most striking feature of
20th century politics.
Tho great nnd good Oregonlan ills
pises plagiarism, condemns school
orators who steal thoughts, words and
phrases from others, and yet In a re
cent issue It appropriated an entire
interview secured by tho East Ore
gonlan from C. J. Milils, O. R. & n.
livestock agent, put a La Grande dato
lino on tho article and used It entire
as Its original market story for the
day. Mlnchln was a saint beside tho
scissors editor who rummages tho
country press of Its gems.
Women as Well as Men Are Made
Miserable by Kidney and
Bladder Trouble.
Kidney trouble prexs upon the mind,
discourages and lessciisambition; beauty,
vigor ami cnccriui
ness moil disappear
when the kidneys arc
out of order or dis
eased. Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
that it is not uncom
mon fur a child to be
born afflicted with
weak kidnevs. If the
chililurinatestooofteii, if the urine scalds
the ilesh.or if, when the child reachesan
age when it should be able to control the
passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting,
depend upon it . the cait-ie of the diffi
culty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of
the kidneys and bladder and not to a
habit as most people supjiosc.
Women as well as men aic made miser
able with kidney anil bladder trouble,
ami both need the same great remedy.
