In life, not death,
Hearts need fond words to help
them on their way
Need tender thoughts and gentle
sympathy;
Caresses, pleasant looks, to cheer
each passing day. 4
Then hoard them not until they
useless be:
In life, not death,
Speak kindly. Living hearts
need sympathy.

LAWSON KEPT HIS WORD.
Tom Lawson said he'd do it. He
add over a year ago that he would un
earth the greatest swindle In the his
tory of the United States In the man
agement of th life Insurance com
Mies .
The swindlers laughed at his seem
sagly Idle threat.
They Bald he was mad because he
arms hot let Into the graft. But Lawson
kept Ms word.
Af the Insurance Investigation pro
presses farther and farther, the more
tile and corrupt become the trans
actions of those whom Lawson threat
ened with exposure, until the people
are now willing to believe anything
Lawaon says about them.
The policy-holders and people In
general who are Interested In the
anonument.il frauds perpetrated by the
heads of the great insurance com
panies owe Thomas W. Lawson a debt
t gratitude which cannot be paid
arith the puny honors at their com
mand. The task was prodigious a task
that could not have been accomplished
ky one not Intimately familiar with the
atecelts and treacheries of capitalism,
aad ordinarily those who are familiar
arith such, keep secrets to themselves
and belong to the gang.
but not so with Lawson. He kept
faith with the people and is the strong
est advocate of honesty and cleanli
ness In public places In the United
States today.
He has carried his work of exposi
tion and retribution too tar to be
merely a vengeance on his part. , He is
la dead earnest. He knew of the
crimes and had the manhood to expose
ahem. While his exposure might have
been made years ago, he did not then
possess facts with which to support all
his allegations, and today he is per
fectly prepared.
Let the rascals cringe and wince un
er the blows. They have built up,
Joint by joint, and stone by stone, a
systematic, studied, "legal" plan of
highway robbery, and are no better
than the highway robber who braves
the peril of the night and goes out to
rob unsuspecting passengers.
Let them take the highwayman's
Banishment.
LIMITATIONS OF HISTORY.
Historians make as many blunders
aa anybody else, when they branch out
from plain narrative to become com
mentators and critics.
It is rather amusing to read In Ban
croft's history of the northwest, where,
concerning the settlement of the "old
Oregon" country, he says that "little
agricultural land being found near
Walla Walla, and strong, unbearable
winds making the country unfavora
ble to settlement, It was chiefly Im
portant as a resting place on the great
western pathway. Fruit, grains and
shrubbery do not thrive there as they
4o at Vancouver and the country Is
without attraction."
And only this month, the largest
heck ever drawn for an Inland em
pire farmer was made In payment for
a single crop In the Walla Walla dis
trict, "where grains, fruit and shrub
bery do not thrive."
Ceorge Drumhcller has Just receiv
ed $(9,919 for his wheat crop grown
a the "uninviting prairies" of the
Walla Walla district How time and
aettlement and labor and experience
have . changed the entire features of
the country. Truly, In the beginning
of the century there was little to at
tract old voyagers, but the true far
mer quickly recognized the virtue hid
den In that Inviting soil and today the
"uninviting prairies" are loading
ships and railroad trains and support
ing a population in each of the wheat
producing counties, greater than the
Hudson Hay company supported In tho
entire northwest.
THE HKVOI.T FROM PARTY.
Results of the elections In all sec
tions show that party lines are no
longer impassable corrals that herd
voters says the Memphis News-Sclml-
tar.
Of all the notable results the most
striking and really significant Is the
evidence of disintegration of parties.
Prom New York to San Francisco
and from Massachusetts to Louisiana
the proofs of party disruption and re
organization nic unmistakable.
Philadelphia, by a crushing majori
ty, has overthrown the political organ
ization that so long held tho city in
I bondage, but more republicans than
I democrats took part In the uprising
against the republican machine.
Ohio's last year's republican major
ity of more than 200,000 has been
more than overcome In the election
of a democratic governor; but leading
the fight against republican bosslsm
were many of the most eminent repub
licans of the state and nation.
The general disregard of party lines
must he amazing to all who hare not
been observing the recent trend of po
litical thought and feeling.
In Wisconsin the followers of Gov
ernor La Follette have, In respect of
political principles, alms and senti
ments, much more In common with the
Bryan wing of democracy than with
the go-call "regular" republican or
ganization of the state.
In Missouri the followers of Gover
nor Folk have definitely broken with
most of the old politicians who have
been accustomed to control the demo
cratic and republican machinery.
All other proofs, however, of the
widespread and growing laxity of par
ty ties have been eclipsed by the unex
ampled enthusiasm with which Presi
dent Roosevelt was greeted !n his tour
through eight southern states, every
one of which u year ago gave its elec
toral vote to his opponent
Party name has ceased to exercise
a spell, and party loyalty Is no longer
a fetich.
Men are fixing their eyes upon the
personal worth of candidates and the
desirability of definite programs, with
out regard to the party seal affixed.
It Is not a revolution that has come
suddenly, nor will It pass In a day.
If the people of the First ward n
Pendleton will look Into the merits of
the candidate for councilman whom
the Morning Tribune calls "the oldest
and most highly respected citizen," It
will be found that he Is not only a
recent arrival In the city, as a perma
nent resident, but that he has never
taken the slightest interest In munici
pal affairs, did not even register to
vote at the city election two years ago,
and in the present campaign is not
taking the slightest interest, but is
being boosed by people who need a
member of the council from that ward
to carry out their plans. He should
resign rather than allow himself to be
used as u plaything.
It Is conservatively estimated that
the little Item In the East Oregonlan
a couple of weeks ago concerning the
request for campaign contributions
made upon well known citizens of Pen
dleton by Chairman Frank C. linker,
of the republican state committee, has
cost the committee at least $10,000.
Since the subject has been given such
wide publicity, prospective candidates
and enthusiastic members of the party
have been reticent in contributing to
a large fund with which to place vel
vet under Baker's feet, with no results
to any one else.
PUBLIC OWNERSHIP SPEEDS.
A ferryboat owned and operated by
the city of New York made its first
trip the other day with ceremony and
public rejoicing. New York city now
owns interborough communication of
three kinds bridges, subways and
ferries and thus has Its hands on
three great avenues of traffic between ;
its five component parts. The econ-1
omlst or politician who should have i
ventured 25 years ago to predict such '
an extension of municipal control of
land and water highways, would have
been called an Impractical visionary.
The world moves fast.
The dreams of yesterday are reali
ties todny and history tomorrow.
Only the wide awake keep up with
the procession of events. News-Sclm-Itar.
The Swiss town of Zurich has taken
u ton toward the municipalization of
medicine, and put a poll tax on all
the population over 14 years old suf
ficient to make an Income of llOu.o'JO
to puy the doctors. Forty doctor will
get $2500 each, and for this sum they
must give all needed attention to all
citizens of the community, young or
old. The tax amounts to about 8
cents a head.
INDEPENDENCE.
I ask no thing of any man,
No boon of fute, no gift of God;
I stand alone, as mortal can,
N'or bend beneath the chastening
rod.
1 live my life my own sure way.
My creed the simple strength of
right; '
And when the clouds shut out my
day,
I wait serene throughout the night.
My wealth? These two hands toil for
it;
I want no riches not mine own.
And luxuries? How shall I sit.
Heaping where other hands have
sown T
Ami friendship? Aye, I earn by mine
Own powers of sympathy to bless;
K'tn love, that makes the way divine,
I win by mine own worthiness.
I ask no thing of any man.
No gift of God, no boon of fate.
Excepting health that I may work.
And strength, the good long fight to
make.
Grace G, Hostwick, In Everybody's
Magazine for December.
LET SOMETHING GOOD BE SAID.
When over the fair fame of friend or
foe
The shadow of disgrace shall fall;
Instead
Of words of blame, or proof of thus
and" so,
Let something good be said.
Forget not that no fellow-being yet
May fall so low but love may lift
his head;
Even the cheek of shame with tears
is wet
If something good be said.
No generous heart may vainly turn
aside
In ways of sympathy; no soul so
dead
But may awaken strong and glorified
If something good be said.
And so I charge ye by the thorny
crown
And by the cross on which the Sav
ior bled
And by your own soul's hope of fair
renown.
Let something good be said.
James Whltcomb Riley.
HOW JEROME WAS NAMED.
The present district attorney of New
York came by his name In a convivial
way. His father, Lawrence Jerome,
and William R. Travers were boon
companions, and It Is related that they
were eating supper together one night,
some 48 years ago, when a messenger
entered and handed a note to Jerome
announcing that another son had
been born to him.
"What's the duffer's name?" stam
mered Travers when he heard the
news.
"William Travers Jerome!" answer
ed the father, and thus was christened
the boy who was to add luster to the
family name.
