Love is the wind: my heart is
the fallen leaf;
Love i the measure; mine
are the fulling feet;
Yet must I dance in time with
its throbbing beat,
Tet am I blown in the woods
of Orlef.
Mad though the dance, un-
. stirred and serene you move,
Wild though the wind, you
flower secure and sweet
Love is the music; mine are
the fulling feet.
I am the whirling leaf, for the
wind Is Love.

' TRIBUNE'S LOSING FIGHT.
3ecause the East Oregonian has
tearlessly and persistently stood for
decency In Pendleton, Umatilla coun
ty and the state of Oregon, the Morn
ing Tribune of this city calls it a po
litical demagogue and says It has dis
turbed "business" by agitation.
The East Oregonian stands, always
nd everywhere, for the law. Nothing
more; nothing less. If the law is not
wanted, get it off the books, but as
long as it Is a law, enforce It.
The Tribune has wantonly. In a
highly Intelligent and progressive
community of schools, homes and In
dustrial activity, stood for the viola
tion of the law. It has been the
mouthpiece and voice of the law-breaker,
while seeking support from
the better classes in the community.
The East Oregonian does not care
a whit for politics, but it does care
for decency. It has advocated law en
forcement In the past and will advo
cate It in future, because it is right.
It Is the mission of a newspaper. It
la the principle that Is dear to the
hearts of the people and while It
brings down the wrath of the law
breaker, the East Oregonian has the
consolation of knowing that it is on
the right side, whatever dire results
may follow.
It is not necessary for a paper to
stand for Indecency and law-breaking.
The great majority of the people are
clean, upright, decent and law-abiding
and when the Tribune espoused
the cause of the vicious minority it
wilfully became the advocate of law
breaking and the representative of the
.baser elements In society.
Agitation for law enforcement can
not condemn a paper nor an individ
ual before the thinking public. It
. may condemn him before a few who
; break the laws.
It is not necessary to become a
moral degenerate in order to secure
business. It is not necessary to pros
titute politic to win. There are
higher planes of action, cleaner ideals
to follow than these, and the retire
ment of E. P. Dodd from the position
of managing editor of the Tribune
proves that his fight against the bet
ter classes of people and his support
and advocacy of the worst forms of
social depravity is a failure, and that
his principles are not welcomed by
the big, virile, warm-blooded, law-
"lovlng, home-building people of Pen-
dleton and Umatilla county.
The East Oregonian regrets to see
Mr. Dodd forced to resign from the
editorial management of his paper.
He is a young man, and Is said to be
educated. This paper does not gloat
over the failure of any man or Insti
tution, but Mr. Dodd could not ex
pect to make a Journalistic success
and stand always for the worst In
stead of the beat In society. His own
party could not swallow his subservi
ency to the saloons. If the moral
tone of the paper changes with its new
management, the Tribune has a mis
sion in this community. Otherwise, It
can have no hope.
PEOPLE SHOULD NOMINATE.
The principle at the base of the
popularly enacted primary elections
law makes for what President Roose-
velt means, when he demands a
"square deal." t
The object of iVe l.v.v U to free the
election of public servants, from con
stable to United States senator, from
the dominating Influences of graft, to
make public stewardship a sacred
trust Instead of a "private snap," and
hold the servant directly accountable
to the people his master for the
faithful and honest discharge of his
duty.
It Is a singular fuct, however, but
nevertheless true, that the harmless
looking little legislative pledge con
tained In the law Is the keystone In
the nrch of the bridge over which
Oregon is to puss from the quagmires
of political corruption to the high
ground of common honesty.
The senatorshlp is the chief artery
by which a slate Is connected with
the political heart of the nation, and
according as such artery Is strong or
weak, healthy or diseased, so must be
the political life of the state, ns wit
ness a good many of our 46 common
wealths. The election of United States senator
by the people on practically a direct
vote, at the very least takes from the
legislature the power to put thnt of
fice up at auction for sale to the high
est corporation bidder. It has been
Idle in the past; it will be futile In the
future, to Inveigh against corruption
In senatorial elections where there Is
a vendor, a vendee and a thing for
sale, and where the vendor Is In a po
sition to deliver the goods no matter
whose and get safely awrfy with the
proceeds.
Legislation cannot make a senator
honest any more than it can a hobo,
but it can, and this primary election
law with the legislative pledge en
forced, does make him accountable
directly to the majority of the people
of his state without regard to party,
for party or no party behind him, he
must have a majority of the popular
votes ever to succeed himself In the
office.
The senators elected under this law
will occupy a most unique position in
congress. Being beholden to no In
fluence or power save the electorate
of their states for their election, their
hands will be free and their escutch
eons clean, the embodiment of sena
torial simplicity and common honesty.
Unconventional truly!
But it is time for the innovation
when conventional roguery In all high
places should give place to right
ideals. And this desideratum rests on
the pledge that must be exacted from
every legislative candidate of each
party.
It is "up to the people" to enforce
this provision of the law and secure
the "square deal." No legislative as
pirant will have the courage to turn
It down. No party as such will open
ly oppose It, and will do It secretly
at the peril of Its usefulness and ex
istence, for this law in the march ot
progress has come to stay.
EASTERN OREGON LEAGUE.
Eastern Oregon should have a
branch of the Oregon Development
league.
There are subjects which require
the services of such an organization
In this portion of the state, and which
are not such as would properly come
under the programs of the state
league.
Why not call a meeting of the rep
resentatives of the Commercial clubs
of La Grande, Union, Elgin, Baker
City, Huntington, Ontario, Burns,
Wallowa county, and other places In
terested to meet In Pendleton in Feb
ruary for the purpose of organizing an
eastern Oregon branch of the league?
The Willamette valley league has
accomplished much. It has se'eured
outside capital for Willamette valley
Industries. It has secured lower rates
on Its products. It has secured bet
ter train service, more publicity and
better markets, and it Is a live, 'ener
getic body, with a purpose and an aim
and Is one of the busiest, most fruitful
commercial organizations in the west.
There Is room, material, necessity
for such an organization in eastern
Oregon. Will the people get to
gether? Will they co-operate In their
own Interests?

LEON A.
The following beautiful poem was
written by James G. Clark, a well
known poet and singer who spent the
last years of his life In Oregon, and
who died in Los Angeles In 1896. t
is said to be perfect In rythm, rhyme
and meter and Is rated as one of the
most beuutiful lyrical compositions In
the English language. It was written
during the spring of 1869, while the
author watched by the deathbed of
his mother. In a personal corres
pondence carried on for several years
with the editor of the East Oregonian,
the author related the touching story
that Inspired the lines:
I.eona, the hour draws nigh,
The hour ve'e waited so long;
For an angel to open a door In the
sky
That my spirit may break from my
prison, and try
Its voice in an infinite song.
Just now as the slumbers of night
Came o'er me with peace-giving
breath.
The curtain half lifted, revealed to my
sight.
Those windows which look on the
kingdom of light
That border the River of Death.
And a vision fell, solemn and sweet.
Bringing gleams of a morning-lit
land;
I saw the white shore which the pale
waters beat
And I henrd the low lull as they broke
at their feet,
Who walk on the beautiful strand!
And I wondered why spirits should
cling
To the clay with a struggle and sigh;
When Life's purple Autumn Is better
than Spring,
And the soul flies away like a spar
row, to sing
In a climate where leaves never die!
Leona, come close to my bed
And lay your dear hand on my brow.
The same touch that thrilled me' In
days that are fled
And raised the lost roses of Youth
from the dead
Can brighten the brief moments
now! ,
We have lived from the cold world
apart:
And your trust was too generous
and true
For their hate to overthrow; when the
Blunderer's dart
Was rankling deep In my desolate
heart.
I was dearer than ever to you!
I thank the great Father for this:
That our love was not lavished in
vain.
Each germ tn the future shall blossom
to bliss
And the forms that we love and the
Hps that we kiss
Never shrinn at the shadow of pain.
In the light of Otis Faith I am
taught '"
That Death is but action began;
In the strength of this hope I have
struggled and' fought
With the legions of Wrong, till my
armor has caught
A gleam from Eternity's sun!
Leona, look forth ami behold!
From headland, from hillside and
deep
The day-king surrenders his ban
ners of gold;
And twilight advances- through wood
land and wold'
And the dews are- beginning to
weep.
The moon's silver hair Ifes uncurled
Down the broad-breasted moun
tains away;'
E'er the sunset's red glory again shall
be furled
O'er the walls of the- west, o'er the
plains of the woriij
I shall wake In a limltlens day!
O, come not In tears tt my tomb,
V 1 i u.h f i-Il i 1 ftnvMt thf ami!
There Is rest among roses too sweet
for its gloom,.
And life where the lilies eternally
bloom
In the balm-breathing gardens of
God!
Tet deeply these memories burn

FAJLURB.
A poet breathed a thought In rhyme
And eave it to the world In print;
Hope came and whispered In his ear
Of coming- fame a pleasing nint.
He watched and listened, from the
world.
To hear a faintly answering sound
But sped the years on speedy wings
No echo from his cry he found.
Like leaf let drift from parent tree,
Whleh lodges In some quiet spot
Aloof from haunts of men and rests
Amid Its fellows, heeded not,
The poem lingered many years
Then like the dried leaf, zephyr
stirred,
It leaped from out Its hiding place
And by the multitude was heard,
From page to page It flitted on;
In many languages found tongue;
'Twas stored In many hungry hearts;
, By happy voices it was sung;
Ten thousand lives were made more
bright;
Some souls were by It led to God
The author murmured, "failed," ere
he
Was laid to rest beneath the sod,

OPEN PUBLICITY THE BEST

When the maker of a mixlli-hm a,.IH

frankly and fearlessly publishing broad
cast as well as on Its bottle wmnnnra
a full list of all Its ingredients in plain
Kiiylhth, this action on his part Is the
best possible evidence that he Is not
afraid to have the search light of invoa-
ugnuun tiirneu iuii upon Ills formula
and that it will bear tho fullest scrutiny
and the most thorough investigation,
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for the
cure of the weaknesses, periodical pains
and functional derangements of the or
gans distinctly feminine, is the only medi
cine put up for sale through druggists for
woman's special use. the maker of which
is not afraid to take his patients Into
his full confidence by such open and
honest publicity.
A glance at the published Ingredients
on each bottle wrapper, will show that it
Is made wholly from native, American,
medk-inivl roots, that It contains no poi
sonous or linlilt-fonnlng drugs, no nar
cotics and no alcohol pure, triple-refined
glycerine, of -proHr strength lielng used
Instead of the commonly employed alco
hol, loth for extracting and preserving
the active medicinal properties found in
the roots of the American forest plants
employed. It Is tho only medicine for
women's peeular disea.ses, sold by drug
gists, that does not contain a largo per
centage of alcohol, which is In tho long
run so harmful to woman's delicate, nerv
ous system. Now, glycerine Is perfectly
harmless, and serves a valuable purpose
by possessing Intrinsic value all its own,
ami besides it enhances the curative
effect of the other Ingn-dlents entering
Into tho "Favorite Prescription."
Some of tho ablest medical writers and
teachers cmlorso these view and praise
all the several Ingredients of which "Fa
vorito Proscription" is composed rec
ommending them for tho cure of the
very same diseases for which this world
famed medicine is advised. No other
medicine for women has any such im
JemUmnl endorsement worth more than
any number of ordinary testimonials. If
Interested, send name and address to Dr.
R. V. Pierce. IlulTalo, N. Y., for his little
book of extracts from the works of
eminent medical writers and teachers,
endorsing the several ingredients and
telling lust what Dr. Pierce's medicine
are made of. It's fre for the asking.
