Come, let us ponder, It Is fit
Born of the poor, born to the
poor.
The poor In purse, the poor In
wit
Were first to find God's
opened door
Were first to climb the ladder
round by round
That fell from heaven's door
unto the ground.
God's poor came first the very
first!
God's poor were to see and
hear.
To feel the light of heaven burst
Full on their faces. Far or

His poor were first to follow,
first to fall!
What if at last the poor stand
forth the first of all!

IXVADIXG I'MATILLA.
Walla Walla Is not content with
drawing on the resources of northern
Umatilla county constantly to build
up her own trade and reputation,
but she now wants Umatilla county
to build an automobile driveway
through the northern . part of the
county for the especial benefit of
Walla Walla.
The roads in the northern part of
Umatilla county are now among the
best In the county, but this Is not sat
isfactory to the automobile owners of
trie Garden City. They have Induced
the county court of Walla Walla
county to build a few miles of mac
adam road down to the state line,
and are now agitating macadam road
In the northern part of Umatilla
county to connect with this to furnish
them a 10-mlle automobile drive Into
Umatilla county at Umatilla's expense.
Nothing within reason Is too good
for the people of the northern part
bf Umatilla county to have. If they
need macadam roads they should
have them. But It does seem that
Walla Walla Is now drawing enough
benefits from the northern part of
this county, without forcing this
county to build a driveway for Walla
Walla automobile clubs.
Walla Walla has built up her repu
tation as a fruit district, largely upon
fruit raised In the Milton and Free-
water districts. She has drawn trade
from Pendleton and other Umatilla
county towns for years by reason of
her excellent train service and now
she begins an agitation to force Uma
tilla county to contribute several
thousand dollars to furnish a pleasant
drive Into the country for Walla
Walla's retired business men who
have grown rich off the business
drawn from Umatilla county!
This Is too much!
If Milton and Freewater want the
macadamized road let them have it.
but the velvet touch of Walla Walla
is felt in the agitation now being car
ried on.
XO IMMUNITY.
Attorney General Moody In his
prosecution of the packers in Chicago
gave utterance yesterday to a sentl
ment which should be emblazoned
upon the standards of the republic
for all time.
In scoring the rich members of the
beef trust who claimed Immunity
from the law regulating monopolies,
he said that laws were not made to
shield rich criminals; that every man
who violates a law is a criminal and
should be treated as such; that a man
who violates a law wilfully and then
claims Immunity on some specious
pretense Is a criminal of the most
cowardly type and should be made to
pay an additional penalty for his au
dacity. It has come to be a common belief
that laws are not serious matters.
This tendency is encouraged by the
successful violation of laws by the
rich corporations. It gives little law
breakers precedents to follow and
makes the violation of city ordinances,
state and national laws a common
practice.
Moody's words apply to every case.
Ever)' man should be forced to obey
the laws. No matter how much money
he possesses, how much "pull" he
has or what his social standing, every
man should be forced to obey the laws
and courts should not be so luggarJ
in executing judgment.
Courts are to blame for a great deal
of law violation. One rascal escapes
with a light sentence or a reprimand,
and the next fellow takes courage
from this and commits a more seri
ous offense.
Law violation Is really one of the
most serious and dangerous menaces
before this country today. No won
der anarchists and orgnnlzed thugs
are so active and aggressive. They
see rich corporations and organiza
tions of capital defying the laws, the
courts and the officials. It Is logical
that the vicious poor should Imitate
the vicious rich.
WEATHER AIYECTS BUSINESS.
The weather was against trade lust
week, being stormy all over the
United States. On one day, according
to the weather bureau, it was either
raining or snowing at all stations In
the country, with the exception of
several south Atlantic and Pacific
coast stations, and the bureau stated
that it was the most widely spread
storm for years.
The result appeared In the exhibit
of the bank clearings, which showed a
decrease of 5.1 per cent from the
corresponding week in 1905, with the
aggregate clearings down to J2.756,
000.000. It was noticeable, however,
that the best reports continued to
come from. the Pacific coast cities,
all of the largest showing gains over
last year, Seattle leading with 82.8
per cent, Tacoma 66.5, Spokane 31.4
Los Angeles 48.5 and San Francisco
32.8. The Increase at Portland was
21.8 per cent.
Thus, while diverse reports were
received from the eastern, western
and southern sections of the country,
those from the Pacific coast showed
a uniform gain In business over the
corresponding period In 1905.
An encouraging factor at the mo
ment is the Improvement which has
become apparent In the wheat mar
ket during the past week. The de
cline which has been progressing for
a number of weeks seemed to come
to a halt at last, and prices strength
ened In sympathy with a better for
eign situation and an Improved de
mand for flour, large foreign ship
ments of which were reported from
New York.
The leading centers everywhere
reported a better demand for cash
wheat, and the exports from this coun
try and Canada during the week were
2,010,000 bushels, against 896,740
buBhels during the corresponding
week In 1905. A still better showing
Is made over a longer period, the ex
ports, Including flour, from July 1 to
date, being 99,152,000 bushels, against
45,590,000 last year.
The exports of farm staples In Feb
ruary exceeded last year's by $23
600,000 or 45 per cent, and the foreign
exports and Imports at New York also
showed substantial gain over 1905,
The railroad earnings likewise made
an excellent exhibit, being 8 per cent
larger than In 1905.
WORKIXGMAX'S FRIEXD.
The East Oregonian especially com
mends Judge Stephen A. Lowell, can
dldate for the United States senate,
to the workingmen and laboring
classes of Oregon, generally.
He Is a friend of the masses, favors
the broadest laws for the regulation
of labor and service of all kinds, and
Is not allied with a corporation In any
capacity.
The workingmen of Oregon can
depend upon Judge Lowell for the

cratic, approachable, plain and unas

his station In life, need hesitate to
carry his grievance to Judge Lowell.
There Is a sharp contrast between
Judge Lowell, the plain citizen with

AKGOXAIT.
The historic incident of a young
Tory heir to a dukedom being pelted
with rotten eggs while making a polit
ical speech Is: "Ah," he remarked,
wiping the mess from his face, "I
have always said that the arguments
of my opponents were unsound."
Attendance at lectures Is not com
pulsory In Germany, and there are all
sorts of yarns about the students' Idle
ness. They say that a young man in
Heidelberg once approached another
young man and asked: here are
the university buildings?" The second
young man replied, "I really don't
know. I am a student here myself."
It was at the Port Arthur siege, dur
ing the assault on the celebrated Hun
dred and Three Meters Hill which cost
so many men to the Japanese. Before
surrendering to certain death, a regi
ment held until then In reserve. Gen
eral Nogi addressing the colonel, said:
Your regiment is the first In the
world'" "General," replied the officer
gravely. "It will be tho first In the
other!"
When Mr. Mansfield was playing
Arms and the Man," some one
brought up In his presence the name
of the author, George Bernard Shaw.
'Ah. yes," said Mr. Mansfield, "some
men have the most glorious luck!
There's Shaw, now; he Is not only a
successful playwVlght, a musical critic.

society, and possessed of red hair, but
he is also an Irishman."

WHY HE DIDN'T DRESS.
After returning from Topeka last
week Gomer Davis of Concordia said.
according to the Kansas City Star: "It
Is hard for us country editors to get
the hang of city ways. We slept In a
room at the Copeland with a short
grass editor man, and in the morning
we noticed him walking around the
room In a brand new night shirt,
which we presumed was the first one
he ever owned, and was anxious that
we should appreciate It In all Its
glory, when we asked him: 'Bill, why
don't you dress?' He said, 'I am
waiting for my clothes to cool off.'
'Waiting for your clothes to cool off?
said we. 'Yep,' said Bill. 1 put my
clothes on that 'ere thing last night,
and this morning it seems to be red
hot.' He had put his shirt and
breeches on the steam radiator, and
had to hang them out of the window
to cool them sufficiently to crawl Into
them."
UNIVERSAL PRAYER.
In the passing of the centuries
Nations rise and nations fall.
Light of day and night of darkness,
Comes to each, and comes to all;
While the problems of the people
Walt the answer to their call.
Hearts of poor men, hearts of rich
men,
Stars of night and suns of day,
Men of brawn and men of brain,
Hew new timbers while you may:
Build to God a house eternal,
'Neath whose shelter all may pray.

Undigested Food
When any portion of food remains in the stomach and refuses to
digest, it causes the torments of indigestion. This undigested food
rapidly ferments, irritating the sensitive coating of the stomach,
while other parts of the body, particularly the head, suffer in
consequence. .
So long as this undigested food remains in the stomach, the
discomfort continues. A few doses of
DEECIlflD'S PILLS
stop all fermentation, sweeten the contents of the stomach and give
natural assistance that relieves the stomach of its burden. The use
of Beecham's Pills gradually strengthens the stomach nerves and
oon restores them to a normal, healthy condition.
Beecham's Fills positively cure all stomach troubles, while their
beneficial effects on the liver and kidneys greatly improve the gen
eral health.
Beecham's Pills have been used and recommended by the gen
eral public for over fifty years.
