THE CHINOOK WIND.
Alaska may boast of its radiant
anrora borealis. New England her
delicious twilights, deepening Into the
night as a river merges with the sea,
the south may have her musical
momlngs filled with the ecstacy of
awakening bird and singing forest,
the north may boast the brilliant lus
ter of the moonlight gleaming upon
the snow fields like a robe of duv
monds but Oregon has her chlnook
wind.
There is no other wind like It in the
world. It has no counterpart In na
tore.
For weeks and months ihe Oregon
mountain and valley may be wrapped
In ice and snow. The limbs and twigs
may be bent with frost. The grass
may be covered and frozen and the
springs congealed. At dark tonight
nature may be thus sealed up In the
embraces of winter and, lo!
In the morning the balmy breath
of the chlnook wind steals gently as
a barefoot maiden across the land.
Ice fetters are silently unlocked,
trees are disrobed of frost, snow
drifts melt and disappear as by some
magic Influence, the burled foothills
uncover their faces and soon the bare
shoulders of the rugged mountains
are seen jutting through the snowy
robes and the congealed brooklet
sings on its way, filled to overflowing
in the night.
The wondrous transformation
comes as mysteriously as a ghost in
the night. Stray breaths from the
warm Japan current that washes the
Pacific shores are sent whispering
over the mountains, and nature yields
to this tender persuasion of the sea.
The chlnook wind has been the
savior of Oregon stockmen many
times In the past. Its first warm
fluish has been hailed with delight
when winter clung on with tenacity
and the last haystack was diminishing
at a rapid rate.
But it is unfailing as the sea. As
sure as the refreshing Japan currents
weeps the Pac ific shores, Just so sure
will the chlnook wind come to un
lock the ice fetters and fill the brooks
and start early the buttercups on the
foothills of Oregon.
KFIINKI) DEGENERACY.
If there should happen In Pendle
ton, even in an Infinitely small way,
such a social scandal as has shaken
New York city In the blackmailing of
the millionaires by Colonel Mann.
' 1 .,'jjiflj 'i'l'':
editor of Town Topics, all those con
nected with It would be forever ostra
cized, disgraced, besmirched beyond
hope of cleansing.
' But It causes scarcely a flutter 5t
dismay In the metropolis.
Those who have admitted In court
that they had paid blackmail money
to this piratical journal go about their
usual social enterprises unashamed.
They admit that they paid money
to hush up social scandals. But this
does not cause a flush of shame on
their cheeks. They admit that things
happen in New York society which
must not, cannot be printed and so
they make a practice of paying hush
money.
The surface of New York society
may be smooth, glossy, attractive
but under a thin coating is a fester
ing, stinking sore of moral leprosy.
It Is the acme and high fever of re
fined degeneracy.
Back of the beautiful faces and
voluptuous figures in the social whirl,
lies a secret and corrupt history
which would shame the most degrad
ed bum. but which Is reveled in by
the select few In delighted abase
ment. Over $1,000,000 has been extorted
from the leading millionaires by Town
Topics, as payment for suppressing
unprintable scandals In "high" life.
One dollar paid for such purposes
In Pendleton. Baker City or any other
typical American city would upturn
the social and business world there,
but In New York, the commercial
center, the fashionable mecca of the
western hemisphere, blackmail, sup
pression of news, keeping rotten so
cial secrets out of public notice. Is
made a profession, a studied trade.
And people do not shudder at the
tendency.
There Is more danger in this refined
degeneracy than In the bold brigand
age which comes out In the open and
attacks Its victim. Where filth and
moral leprosy appears among the
lower stratas of society they are
loudly denounced and bewailed but
this refined, polished, brazen, glided
sort Is passed unnoticed by the world.
STATE EXAMINER NEEDED.
The East Oregonian was the first
paper in Oregon to demand a public
accountant, a state examiner of ac
counts, and right now while the Da
vis trial is In progress In this coun
ty, and while the responsibility for a
110,000 shortage in the accounts of
the sheriff's office is being fixed, is a
good time to repeat this demand.
Wyoming created the office of pub
11c accountant when the state was ad
mitted to the union and since it has
been a state, not one cent of loss has
been sustained by any county, district
or municipal government through
shortage In accounts.
The $10,000 shortage in Umatilla
county would pay the salary of the
state accountant for three years and
every county, every city, every school
district would be assured of accuracy
In all their accounts.
The next legislature should create
this office In Oregon.
The East Oregonian believes In
economy and would hesitate to ad
vocate the creation of any new office
which would not promise to earn its
way In public service to the peopl
but such an office will certainly be
an econolmcal and sensible move.
Aside from safeguarding the peo
pie's funds, it will guarantee all offl
clals against mistakes and crooked
ness of employes, and It Is a wonder
that Oregon, as progressive as she Is,
has so long neglected this matter.
Representatives and senators nom
inated this year should be pledged to
support such a law. Oregon needs it.
One lawsuit such as is now In progress
In Umatilla county brings home to
the voter the necessity of such a law.
The money paid to Umatilla county
by ex-Sheriff Blakley and Sheriff
Taylor, to balance up the shortage in
their accounts, would pay the salary
of a public examiner for three years
and not only the funds and books of
Umatilla county would be safeguarded
by such an examiner, but every coun
ty in the state would be equally
guarded.
Don't It seem that such an official
Is needed?
Should not Umatilla county start
the agitation for this office? -s

side of Portland, In lta accounts of
the Davis embezzlement case In this
city. For the past two weeks, while
this trial has been In progress, tho
East Oregonian has -furnished Its
readers from three to five columns of
verbatim report of the trial, and
within two hours after the Inst note
was made at the court nouse In the
afternoon, the full account of the
day's proceedings was delivered at
Pendleton homes to be read with
fascinated interest around the eve
ning lamp. No other paper In the
state outside of Portland has ever
handled a case as the East Oregonian
has handled this one. A shorthand
reported has been employed every day
since the trial begun, In addition to
the regular local force which . has
covered the principal features out
side of the verbatim report. Today
two shorthand reporters were em
ployed to get an accurate and full ac
count of the arguments for the rend
ers of the paper tonight not tomor

ments were delivered.
TAI L TO HE UE.VItl) FROM.
The other evening the Rev. Mr.
Phllacter sat down at the tea table
with a very thoughtful air, and nt-
tended to the wants of his brood In n
very abstracted manner. Presently he
looked up at his wife and said:
'The Apostle Paul"
"Got an awful lump on the head
'safternoon," broke In the pastor's
eldest son, "playing baseball. Bat
flew out of the striker's hand when I
was umpire, and cracked me tight
above the ear. Hurt? Golly:" and
the lad shook his head In dismal but
expressive pantomime as he tenderly
rubbed the lump that looked like a
billiard ball with hair on It. The pas
tor gravely paused for the interrup
tion, and resumed:
"The Apostle Paul "
"Saw Mrs. O'Ghemlnle down at
Greenhaum's this afternoon," said his
eldest daughter, addressing her moth
er. "She had the same old everlast
ing black silk, made over with a vest
of tllleule green silk, coat-tall basque
pattern, oversklrt made with diagonal
folds In front, edged with deep fringe;
yellow straw hat with black velvet
facing Inside the brim, and pale bluj
flowers. She's going to Chicago."
The good minister waited patiently,
and then in tones just a shade louder
than before, said;
"The Apostle Paul "
"Went In swlmmln' last night with
Ben and Henry, pop, an' stepped on
a clam shell," exclaimed his youngest
son; "cut my feet so I can't wear my
shoe; and please, may I stay home
tomorrow?" '
The pastor Informed his son that he
might stay away from the river, and
then resumed his topic. He said:
"The Apostle Paul says "
"My teacher Is an awful liar."
shouted the second son; "he says the
world Is as round as an orange, and
it turns round all the time faster than
a circus man can ride. 1 guess h
ain't got much sense."
The mother lifted a warning finger
toward the boy and said, "Sh!" and
the father resumed:
"The Apostle Paul says"
"Don't bite off twice as much as you
can chew," broke out the eldest son.
reproving the assault of his little
brother on a piece of cake. The pas
tor's face showed Just a trifle annoy
ance, as he said In very firm, decided
tones:
"The Aposlle Pnul says "
"There's a fly In the butter'" shriek
ed the youngest hopeful of the family,
and a general laugh followed. When
silence was again restored, the eldest
daughter, with an air of curiosity,
said:
"Well, but pa, I really would like
to know what the Apostle Paul said.'
"Pass me the mustard." said the
pastor absently.
Then the committee rose and the
senate went Into executive session and
soon after adjourned. Burlington
(Vt.) Free Press.
DO IT NOW.
Secretary Taft and some heads of
departments were at the White House
one day recently, discussing a compli
cated Philippine problem with the
president.
One of the party, a hopeless slave
to Ihe roundabout way the govern
ment bureaus do business, was ex-
l-plalnlng at great length why a certain
proposition, advanced Dy me presi
dent, was Impossible.
"You see, Mr. President'" he said,
"your plan Is not In accordance with
the government procedure. We do
things differently. It will require ref
erence back to my bureau and then
we shnll get reports from everybody,
make the Indorsements, and go at It
according to the system that prevails."
"But," Insisted the president, "why
cannot we avoid all this red tape and
do the thing sensibly?"
"Ued tape?" gasped the department
head; "why, without that red tape I
am afraid It would not be legal."
"Oh," said the president, smiling
affably, "If that Is all we will remove
the taint of legality and do It now."
KNOW THYSELF.
A teacher In one of Boston's public
schools has Instructed her pupils In
hygiene and toward the end of the
term, wishing to see how well they
could remember, told them to ench
write out a little story of the humnn
body. The following Is copied from
the "story" one small boy handed her,
with the confident assurance that he
knew It was all right, for he had
studied very hard over It.
"The human body Is divided Into
three parts; the head, th thorax and
the abdomen.
"The head contains tho brains, If
there are any; tho thorax contains the
heart and the vital organs, nnd the
abdomen the vowels, of which there
are five, a, e, I, o, and u, and some
times w and y." The Household.

of the problems of physical science.
