New Tear, I look
straight In
your eye.
Our ways and our Interests
blend;
Tou may be a foe in disguise,
But I still believe you a friend.
We get what we give in our
measure
We cannot give pain and get
pleasure;
I gire you good will and good
cheer.
And you must return It, New
Year.
We jrw what we give In this life,
To 'often the giver indeed
Waits long upon doubting and
strife
' Ere proving the truth of his V
creed;
But somewhere, some way, and
forever,
' P.eward is the meed of en-
deavor;
And If I am really worth while,
ew ear, you will give me
your smile.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
HEADY TO DEFY THE LAW.
.me people of Umatilla county
have a right under the direct nomin--ating
law to nominate candidates for
all cour.ry offices, and they should ln-
Mui on the observance and execution
of this law. whatever the political
I ootote.s iay.
Thr gang should not nominate.
This is the people's prerogative.
The Morning Tribune In discussing
' ih tfaestlon of the legislative ticket
from this county says: ine republi
cans must not take chances on the
direct primaries."
WKat doe this statement mean ?
Tmat the will of the people amounts
t nothing In the estimation of the
-Tribune? That the people, at the direct-nominating
primaries, cannot and
will not be trusted?
Why should the republicans or the
democrats, the socialists or the prohi
bitionists be afraid to trust the peo
ple. If those parties intend to nomin
ate and elect clean men to omceT
Wfcf Is the Tribune advocating viola
tion and non-observance of the law,
If Its Intentions and principles are
s "Jran and honest?
' .A nor the Tribune Is afraid to trust
i si people, and says "It must not take
V. A I .art nrimirtM"
vkai. is the natural conclusion?
That it would select uen whom the
people would not stand for? That It
' is ot in politics for principle, taking
te will of the people as the supreme
law. but that It Is a republican paper
fsr mercenary ends and Is engaged in
promoting personal Interest rather
ihan the common good? It openly
fia the law and says the people
aanot be trusted.

T(K) MANY SEMI-CITIZENS.
The San Francisco Argonaut makes
a "ten-strike" in commenting on the
lax naturalization lavs and the enor
mous number of bogus citizens or
semi-citizens found In the United
States today.
Especially is this condition alarm
ing in the large cities where foreign
ers swarm like rats. Many of these
are totally Ignorant of tie form of
government: many of them carry the
most vicious Ideals and principles In
their breasts, only awaiting the touch
of the match to the revolutionary Un
der In their minds, to break forth In
rebellion to the laws and organized
authorities.
Something should be done to check
the Inflow. Something should be
done to elevate the tone and charac
ter of citizenship. The responsibili
ties of that position were never
greater than now and the tendency
should be upward and not downward,
as It seems to be. when the great un
tutored hordes which are coming to
this country are considered. The Ar
gonaut says:
Chicago has 80,000 residents who
hold citizenship papers Illegally grant
ed by the criminal courts. As a con
sequence of the discovery of these
frauds on the spirit of our laws, Sen
ator Cullom and Congressman Bou
telle of Illinois, have filed a petition
by the civic federation of Chicago,
asking for a remodeling of American
naturalization laws.
The facts which are the basis of the
argument are uncontroverted. In
happy-go-lucky style our courts have
bestowed the benefits of citizenship on
every man who has had two sponsors.
Federal Investigation In San Francisco
has shown that the sponsors have
sometimes made a business of per
jury. The reform prayed for should come.
The naturalization of aliens should
be restricted within rigid limits. But
with better laws should come better
execution. Formalities are not enough.
The testimony of sponsors should be
circumspectly considered; the fitness
of the would-be American carefully
Judged. Of course, a great Injury has
already been done.
There are many voters In San Fran
cisco who never heard of Abraham
Lincoln or the thirteenth amendment.
These cases should be examined, and,
if wrong has been done, their citizen
ship papers should be canceled.
Every year makes American citizen
ship of greater value. It should not
be sold cheap. If given to the tin
worthy, It should1 be taken away.
Secretary Taft to the champion
long-dlstaace traveler of modern
times. Since he became- governor of
the Philippines In May, lO0, Secre
tary Taft has traveled at least 100,000
miles In pursuance of his official du
ties. Of the time required for his
Journeylngs, 380 days were spent at
sea and six full weeks In railway
trains. In the course of his frist trip
to the Philippines Secretary Tan made
a Journey of S600 miles around the Is
lands, establishing provincial govern
ments. H's original trip out by way
of Shanghai and Hong Kong covered
nearly 12,000 miles. He came back
to the Unltod States In poor health,
and traveled stveral thousand miles
on the mainland here. He returned
to the Philippines by way of Home.
Then he came from Manila to this
country to become secretary of war.
He next went to Panama, and recently
he escorted a congressional delegation
across the Pacific and around the
Philippines. He then made another
official trip to Panama. So far as
purely official traveling noes, he has
established a record that is likely to
stand for many years.

borers refer to themselves as the pro-letari-.t.

SOUTH AMERICAN" MUSIC.
In the remains of the vast Indian
nation shattered by Plzarro, the em
pire of the Incas, every man and boy

walk. Is an adept on their simple reed
flutes and Pandean pipes.
They are a musical race; there ara
songs and airs for each season, fo;
the planting, for the harvest, for the
valorous deeds of the vanquished ca
ciques, for their gods of old to whom
a new significance has been Imposed
by a pious church, and the long drawn
chants by means of which, at their
yearly gatherings, they pass down the
history of their race. As there Is no
written music: it la handed down from
generation to generation by the eai
alone.
Their national Intsruments are but
three In number: the flute a reed
bout 18 Inches In length, with six
holes, and a square slit at the end for
a mouthpiece, played after the manner
of a clarinet; the Pandean plpes a
series of seven reed tubes that. In the
large ones, are four feet In length,
and In the smaller ones scarcely as
many Inches, and the drum. Th
last is the universal instrument of all
peoples'; there are few races so low
In the male of human society as not
to posse It.
The Predean pipes are In a double
row. and, t the time of preparation
by the Indians for the Intertribal wars
