O Earth! thou hast not
wind that blows
Which is not music; every
weed of thine
Pressed rightly, flows In aro
matic wine:
And every humble, hedge-row
flower that grows.
And every little brown bird
that doth sing.
Hath something greater than
itself and bears
A living word to every living
thing.
Albeit it holds the message
unawares,
All shapes and sounds have
something which is not
Of them: a spirit broods amid
the grass;
Vague outlines of the everlast
ing thought
Lie in the melting shadows
as they pass;
The touch of an eternal pres
ence thrills
The fringes of the sunsets and
the hills.

permanent Industrial monuments as
yet. We have been a race of traders,
sojourners, transients, prospecting on
the surface, building temporary de
vices and passing on to another fron
tier to skim the cream there.
It Is a fact that the massive dams
and canals Just now being constructed
by the reclamation department are
the very first Imperishable structures
to be reared by American Industrial
ism. Our great buildings, bridges,
railroads, wagon roads are not pa
tiently constructed to last for cen
turies as are those of the European
countries and the ancient South
American and Mexican countries.
If the American continent should,
by some awful turn of Tate, be over
run by an invading army large enough
to conquer and destroy the country
there is no landmark that could hope
to withstand the invader and the
American name and nation could be
blotted out completely.

PEACE IX THE EAST.
No more swift are the maneuvers
of war than the negotiations for
peace in the East. The speed with
which President Roosevelt has brought
the combatants to agree to meet and
settle their difficulties has been the
wonder of diplomats. The details of
the settlement Is another thing.
Russia already begins to "craw fish
when a cash Indemnity is demanded.
She hopes to entangle the other Euro
pean powers in the settlement. If
she refuses to pay a cash indemnity,
and Japan then demands a surrender
of territory. Russia hopes to thus ex
cite the Jealousy of France, Germany
and England, and thus cause them to
interfere and prevent Japan from be
coming mistress of the Orient through
her victory over Russia and the pos
session of Russian territory ns the
fruits of that victory.
The United Stutes should see that
Japan gets her just dues In this set
tlement. Russia Juggled with the
C'hlno-Jappancse settlement In 1S94,
and brought about this present war
by that Interference. There should
be no after-clap to this war. The
powers should give Japan her dues
and force Russia to live up to any
agreement made, although it might
place a Japanese fortress under the
shadow of St. Petersburg.
One of the saloon men indicted fo
conducting gambling games contrary
to the law, made frantic efforts yes
terday evening to have his name left
out of the paper, because as he said
he was ashamed to be associated with
that class of people and was afraid it
would hurt his business.
This is a late awakening. Why did
he not get ashamed of his business
and his associates long ago, and not
suffer this "humiliation?" It is the
desire of the East Oregonlan to treat
everybody courteously and to be ac
commodating to the utmost, but there
are limits and bounds w hich it cannot
cross, and this Is one of them.
Where a man is intelligent enough
to Invest his money ana conduct his
business he should not seek to shirk
the responsibility that goes with his
business, and If trouble comes he
should be brave and manly enough to
"face the music" and not try to stand
in the dark while his associates are
held out In the lime light.
Too many men worship the dollar
and wish to share the profits of an
illegal business, but they wish to
wear a mask and be classed under a
false rating, and counted with the
better DeoDle of the community. Let
us stand where we belong.
No better index to the prosperity
and continued business progress and
growth of Pendleton can be cited than
Hi
e bank .-laements of the city and
unty. Every succeeding bank state
ment of this city shows a healthy In
crease In deposits and business. Al
though three banks are now doing
business in the city yet the volume of
business of all three Is constantly In
creasing. One is not drawing from
the other, nor building up at an
other's loss, but all are showing a re
markable forward movement It is
new business that is causing this
growth and not an Interchange of
old patronage. Over $4,000,000 Is
ow carried In deposits In the eight

THE SUPERFICIAL AMERICAN.
In his address upon the anelen
roads of the world last night. Col. W
H. Moore, president of the National
Good Roads association, in drawing
comparison between ancient an
American roadways and structures of
various kinds, said that the Unite
States is building nothing absolutely
nothing that will last as have th
roads and viaducts of Rome, Egypt
Peru and Mexico.
Not even our monuments are built
on a massive and imperishable basis
and the most Imposing of them will
last but a very few hundred years,
while the ancient structures have
stood for thousands of years and will
stand for multiplied thousands yet,
without any perceptible deterioration,
When you look at the Yankee'
true achievement. It has been almost
entirely superficial and of a com
merelal kind. His books are all
written on paper, the most lnflamma.
ble and destructive substance known.
His most marvelous libraries, records
and histories could be swept entirely
from existence by conflagaratlon and
leave not a word of his splendid story.
His highways are built upon the sand
and a few floods could obliterate
every trace of his national roads,
over which the most marvelous com
merce and the most wonderful mi
grations In history have traveled.
We have skimmed off the cream of
rich frontiers, without building any
A lot of timid newspapers over the
state are going into hysteria over the
whipping post luw and the establish
ment of the whipping posts In the
tate. The East Oregonlan believes
about the whipping post as it does
about the portage road. It may not
be used to any very great extent, but
its very presence In the state will have
salutary effect. It seems ridiculous
for strong, sensible papers to shed
tears over the whipping of a coward
who has struck a helpless wife. Where
Is the gallantry and manhood of Ore
gon? Jail sentences for wife beaters
have no terrors for them. It is often
necessary to fight the devil with fire
and this Is one such Instance and
emergency.
To become famous In five conti
nents at 24, and to crown this rare
feat by winning for his wife the
charming daughter of a peer. Is such
good fortune as falls to the lot of few
men in a generation. And yet this
Is but part of the wonderful achleve
mentof Gugllemo Marconi, who has
led one of Lord Inchlquiu's fair sis
ters to the altar and Is spending part
of his honeymoon, by the Invitation
of King Humbert, In the prlnclpul
royal palace of Italy.
If ever a man was justified In
counting himself the favored child
of fortune, surely It Is this young
Italian, who leaped In four short
years from obscurity to fame, and
who, while still In the 20's. has made
his name a household world all the
world over.
And. perhaps an equally remarka
ble thing, he remains as unspoilt as
when he was an obscure student at
Bologna. Italy, and spnt his spare
hours dabbling in chemistry In the
laboratory in his father's house at
Grlffore. In those days and they
are only 10 years removed from now
he wai deeply interested In elec
tricity, but only as a hobby.
"I had fitted up a rude labora
tory, or workshop," he says, "In my
father's house near Rologna, where
I had begun to work with primary
batteries and theimoplles, grappling
with the problem which has puzzled
so many Inventors a method of
trasforming heat directly into elec
tricity. I had also experimented with
the utilization of steam In engines.
and had likewise been deeply Interest
ed in chemistry." Rut he had then
no more Idea of fame or of the direc
tion in which It would come. to him
than the man in the moon.
It was the reading. In 1891, in an
Italian journal of the work of Prof-
fessor Hertz that first suggested the
Idea of sending messages through
space by means of electric waves
but, as he says, "the ida seemed so
simple and evident to me that at first
I had no thought of attempting prac
tical experiments to demonstrate its
possibility, because I knew there were
many clever men In the world exper
imenting with electric waves and 1
thought someone would quickly work
out the problem."
It Is characteristic of the unsel
fishness and modesty of the man that
he actually waited nearly a year to
give others a chance of taking the
palm which he knew he had but to
stretch out his hand to make ills own;
and It was only when there was no
sign of Its being appropriated that
he began to make his experiments,
and quickly succeeded i.i sending
aerial messages n couple of miles
across his father's estate. What has
happened since those 'prentice days
how he has since sent winged mes
sages across the wide Atlantic, has
made it. possible for ships to hold
converse u thousand miles apart, and
how. in fact, he has. with almost a
wizard's magic, annihilated space
the world knows.
And what kind of a man is this ma
gician who has still to see his 3"th
birthday? This Is how he Is describ
ed by one who knows him well: "A
slight young man, of medium height.
but who scarcely looks it, with brown
hair, cut short, and parted at the
side, a slight grown mustache, deep
set blue eyes, and a look of boyishness
which he never seems to outgrow.
Just the kind of neat, well groomed
young man you see by the thousand
in the streets of London."
In fact, few men of fame ever
"looked the part" less than this won
derful young Italian. His modesty,
too, amounts almost to diffidence; he
will talk charmingly on any subject
but himself, and Is ready to take to
his heels at the mere mention of the
word "Interviewer." And yet he Is
sufficiently human to confess that "it
Is nice to be famous," and to enjoy
the fruits of his genius and Indus
try. '
i Perhaps the most remarkable thing
about him Is his voice, which Is soft
and low and musical the voice, in
fact, of his native Italy; and the con
trast between his slow, deliberate
method of talking and his restless,
tireless energy when at work, Is as
marked as that between bis modes
ty and his achievements.
He has none of the eccentricities
which seem to be the usual accom
paniment of genius. When he was
once asked whether, like Edison, he
was ever so absorbed in his work
that he forgot to eat. he answered.
"I think never. You see, my stom
ach always cries out at 'the proper
moment, and I always hasten to obey
its call." And to the question, "You
wouldn't have starved for wireless
telegraphy?" he replied with a smile,
"No. indeed; I have too good a digestion."

county did lose $100,000 by contract
ing their wool at- 10 cents last Decem
ber.. They are In clover notwith
standing their premature sales. They
received for their wool S cents per

We have had the good roads con

roads. The building of the sample
mile of perfect road Is now awaited
with interest by the people of Uma
tilla county. It will be built about
September 1, at some point to be se
lected by the National association.
Preferably the worst piece of county
road In the county will be selected as
the site for the sample road, because
the association has faith )n Its meth
ods and desires to undertake a diffi
cult problem wherever possible. If
any one knows of an exceptionally
bad piece of country road let them
speak out and It will be saved up for
the national road builders to practice
upon.

ARK WE DIRTY ENOl'till
Dr. Mary A. Seymour of the Chicago
Health Promotion club says: "We are
not dirty enough. We ought to' eat
more mud and clay. Why are these
vacations in the country so beneficial?
Because you go Into the garden and
eat the berry from the vine without
stopping to brush the sand off It.
"You eat other fruit and vegetables
In the same way without taking them
to the kitchen and washing and peel
Ing them down until all husk Is re
moved." Dr. Price, another member
of the club also says: "I know there
are Individual cases where people do
not need more dirt on the outside,
but in the great majority of cases
people do not have enough on the In
side. People must get closer to the
dirt eat more of It and they will be
healthier."

SECRETARY SHAW'S PERIL.
The balance of public and official
opinion In Sweden Is to the effect
that unless Sweden recognises the In
dependence of Norway that no other
government will do so.
Secretary Shaw seems to have unin
tentionally exposed to public view the
most objectionable feature of what Is
called "protection." It Is a self-evident
truth that the law that enables
a captain of Industry to exact more
for his goods than the wares would
bring In an open market burdens
thousands with the necessity of pay
ing more for what they buy than such
goods are really worth. Thus cap
tains of Industry are licensed to rob
the public. If Secretary Shaw would
elaborate this text for SO minutes he
would read himself out of the plu
A Necessity for Children.
Even the simplest machine requires
occasional overhauling, that bent
loosened or worn parts may be fixed
Carelessness on the part of the ma
chinist may soon ruin the machine.
Just bo, negligence on the part of the
parents may ruin the body and life of
the child. For example, the little
bladder difficulties, (for which the
child Is often scolded and even whip
ped), are the results of Irritated
nervos. These llttlo annoyances are
often, very often, the forerunner of
the awful aches and pains common to
adult females. Branches of the samo
nerves which supply the bladder go to
the female organs. If the point of Ir
ritation of the nerve Is back of the
point of division, (which is usually
the case), female troubles are almost
certain to follow at the development
time.
The displacements which cause the
diseases of childhood are easily re
moved In childhood, and then Nature
quickly recovers. Just as a machine
Is easily repaired at first, so Is the
body machine. The Osteopath finds
this childhood work one of the. most
helpful fields In relieving and pre
venting suffering.
