' Peace also hath her martyrs. Death is kind To whoso woos him In the cannon's flame. And grants the laurel of a deathless name To heroes' breath borne down the battle-wind. But, In these timorous days when Hope is blind. What valiant end awakens sleeping Fame? Duty and Death go hand in hand with Shame When Peace leaves red Renown so far behind. Peace? Is It peace when Cor porate Greed controls The powers of Life and laughs in Pity's face? When Wealth gnaws like a worm at Law's deep core? Peace? Is It peace when tyrants wring men's souls. And make a shambles of Truth's dwelling-place? Dear God, if this be peace, then give us war! Reginald W. Kauffman In Wilshlre's. AN INSULT TO WOMEN. The Portland "business men" who recently signed a statement that the effect of equal suffrage would be detrimental to the development and industrial Interests of Oregon, have insulted every intelligent woman in the state, l Are the noble women of Oregon so low, so uneducated, so inferior In spirit and character to the "business men" of Portland that the ballot will be degraded by woman's handling? Are the "business men" of Portland such superior beings, such noble ex amples of piety and Intelligence that the state depends wholly upon their sacred guardianship? In the Oregon land frauds, two Women have been Implicated with over 100 men many of the men be ing public officials and "prominent" citizens. In the penitentiary of Ore- gon are but two women and over 400 men an example of the superiority i has been loaned and is bringing in of the "safe and sane" male sex! $4 5,000 each year to be divided among This hasty and unreasonable state- the school children of this state, ment of the Portland "business men" He has introduced system In the Is an insult to Oregon and Oregon's state land department; caused all de noble pioneer women.

It is an Insult that should be boomerang to Portland In the future. Such an insult Bhould be resented by the splendid manhood of Oregon. COST OF PRINTING. It Is In rather bad form for the Pen dleton Tribune to comment on the cost of city printing, after Its record in this matter. In the Sunday Morn ing Tribune, appears the following comment on the 'matter of printing and reprinting the notices of street paving several times this spring: "It sJ sa is fortunate for the city of Pendleton that the cost of legal advertising Is low, In these days of street Improve ment." It will be remembered that the Tribune was given the contract for the city printing two years ago at six cents per Inch, when the East Orc gonlan bid but five cents for the same work, and the Tribune Increased the cost to the city by extending the length of legal notices by using larger type than was necessary. In view of these facts It Is In bad form for the Tribune to comment on the subject Thinking a republican county court would permit it to graft the county the Tribune put In a bill of $10 and 111 per 1000, for printing the pri mary ballots this spring, when the work could have been done for about to and $6 per 1000. The county court refused to be grafted and the bill of this xealous partisan organ Is now held up awaiting an Investiga tion. The Tribune evidently believes In making politics "pay," and "to hell with the people," and taxes. It does not share In the taxpaylng for Its de linquent taxes for the past six years now amount to over J 150, which Is unpaid. In view of these facts it Is in ex tremely bad form for the Tribune to mention the cost of printing In Uma tilla ceunty. CHAMBERLAIN'S RECORD. It Is notoriously true that It is bet ter for the governor and legislature of a state to be of different political parties. Why? Because. If the gov ernor be a democrat, and the legisla ture be republican, each Is a check upon the other. The governor watches intently for the legislature to make some mistake in the way of vicious legislation or extravagant appropria tions, out of which by use of the veto he can gain partisan advantage. The fact that a legislature, over whelmingly republican, acquiesced In 27 vetoes returned by Governor Chamberlain and only passed two measures over his vetoes, shows how completely true Is the foregoing. The fact, too, that the legislature approved his vetoes, showed Governor Cham berlain to have been right On the other hand, It Is notorious, that a republican governor does not like to veto bills or appropriations passed by a republican legislature. He hesitates to antagonize bo many powerful men of his own party, be cause it might ruin his prospects for future nomination or future political preferment. Governor Moody vetoed no bills. Governor Lord vetoed no bills. Governor Geer vetoed but three bills. Governor Pennoyer vetoed but 20 bills In eight years. Governor Chamberlain vetoed 29 bills In one term.. Governor Chamberlain has also fulfilled his promise made to the peo ple In his last campaign that he would see that the J75O.O00 of the Irreduci ble school fund lying Idle In the hands of the state treasurer was loaned. It He required the cancellation of cer- tlflcates, many years delinquent, cov ering about 75,000 acres of school land and the placing of it again on the . market at double Its former price, which In time will add $187,500 to the school fund. He has cut off the grafts of the j state land brokers who have for years : been levying tribute upon the cltl- zens of this state to the extent of $1 to $1.50 for every acre of Indemnity or lieu land selected. Applicants for lieu lands now deal directly with the state, and the state Is receiving $7.50 per acre for lands heretofore sold for $2.50 per acre. He has selected 33,000 acres of va- j cant government lands to satisfy losses in school sections which were due the state. All of which have been sold, netting the school fund about $190,000. Through his state land agent forged applications covering hun- Something on Your Line Is apt to be found time and again If we have provided the line, hook, sink er, rod and all else necessary for spring and summer fishing.

Frazier's Book Store dreds of thousands of acres of school tend were brought to light, guilty par ties convicted and many certificates cancelled. Forged certificates and other docu ments covering thousands of acres of state land were discovered In time to prevent complications which would have arisen had deeds been Issued, thereby preventing an Immense loss to the state. FATE. The sky Is clouded, the rocks are bare; The spray of the tempest Is white In the nlr: The winds are out with the waves at play. And I shall not tempt the sea today. The trail Is narrow, the wood Is dim; The panther clings to . the arching limb, And the lion's whelps arc abroad at play, And I shall not Join In the chase today. But the ship sailed safely over the sea. And the hunters came from the chase In glee. And the town that was bullded upon a rock Was swallowed up In the earthquake shock. Bret Harte. TAPESTRY 3500 YEARS OLD. Earlier than any known paintings, some tapestry discovered recently at Delr-el-Baharl. near Thebes, is among the oldest specimens of human art ex tant, with the exception of the prehis toric drawings on the bones of ex tinct animals by the river drift men, which, of course, are Incomparably older. But these paintings represent the period In which the art of Egypt was at its zenith, the eighteenth dy nasty, and consequently date back about three thousand five hundred years. There are three specimens, all with a similar subject, the goddess Hathor receiving the sacrifice of her wor shippers. It is believed that they originally adorned a temple or the shrine of some distinguished family and that they were hung on the walls very much as Gobelin tapestry is to day. The materlnl Is a coarse linen cloth, canvus In fact, for painting on which the examples In question form the only kmran starting point. New York Herald. TILLMAN IS TEMPERATE. Those who lftiten to the volcanic torrent which poors from the lips of Benjamin Ryan Tillman, senator from South Carolina, are Inclined to believe like the baekwoodnman from the. Pal metto state who pointed out Tillman to a friend and remarked. "He's the man- for you. Kin talk like chain lightning, and I betf he kin drink whiskey with red pepper in it Just like water." As a matter of fact. Sen ator Tillman Is one of the most ab stemious men In public life. For 10 years he has suffered from stomach trouble, which has gradually reduced his bill of fare until now he describes hi diet In this fashion: "For breuk- fast I take a cup of hot water, for luncheon a cup of hot writer with salt in It and for dinner w enp of hot water with salt and lemort Juice."

On his return to France he brought with him some gorgeous specimens of a flower which is called the roc-e of Japan. His friends, however, gave It his name, camellia. Dahlias were brought from Peru by one Andre Dnhl Fuchsias were named for their dis coverer, Leonard Fuchs. Magnolias received the name of Prof. Magnol de Montpelier, who first brought ' the beautiful trees from Asia and America to France. Anem one means to tremble with the wind Lavender, so called because the Ro mans put a spray of it In the water to perfume the hands. The Latin word to wash Is "lavare. THE SONG OF CHEERFULNESS. Give us, oh, give us, the man who ulnira nt hlu work. He will do more In the same time he will do It better he will persevere longer. One Is r.nrr.lv uenslhle of fatlirue whilst he marches to music. The very stars are said to make harmony as they revolve In their spheres. Wonderful Is the strength of cheerfulness, altogether past calculation Its powers of endur ful must be uniformly Joyous, a Bplrit all sunshine, graceful from every gladness, beautiful because bright.

Ex ercise began In the back yard Imme diately after the arrival of the wheel and will continue at Intervals until the circuit Is tired and the wheel Is ready to be retired. Presumably the text Is "Dust Thou Art, to Dust Thou Shalt Return." Those In the alley are requested to remove their hats so that the vie wfrom back doors and upstnlr windows will be unobstructed.

Following are some of the grotesque stories told by "old-timers" to tender- feet who ask about the wonderfW Salton sea and desert: It was there on the lower Colorado river that "Captain Smith" found the lame turtle, and so won Its gratitude by healing It that It returned In later years and offered Its sen-Ices as an animated ferry, when the qaptain was on an island threatened with a rising flood. On yonder mesa, sloping upward from Volcano springs. Is the "invisi ble city," where the clangor of street car bells and all the hubbub of a me a mother should be a source- of joy to all, but the suffering and danger incident to the ordeal makes its anticipation one of misery. Mother's Friend is the only remedy which relieves women of the great pain and danger of maternity ; this hour which is dreaded as woman's severest trial is not only made painless, but all the danger is avoided by its use. Those wlp use this remedy are no longer despondent or gloomy ; nervousness, nausea and other distressing conditions are, overcome, the system is made ready for the coming event, and the serious accidents so common to the critical hour are obviated by the use of Mother's Friend. "It is worth its weight in gold," says many who have used it. $i.oo per bottle at drug stores.

It was In the Superstition moun tains that Otto Schmidt found the In visible serpents with glass cups on the tails, that revolved, producing sweet music. It was on this desert, too, that an Ingenious Yankee found a group of camels, abandoned In early duys by the army, and by syphoning the wa ter from their sacks, was able to Ir rigate a farm, while the animals plied back and forth between the river and the farm, ever keeping up the water supply. Now the sTrlm valley, rendered won derfully fertile by Irrigation, Is the home of 8000 thriving people. Re cently the Colorado river, breaking through Its old bounds, begnn again to run into the valley, which It for merly occupied, but now great steel and concrete dams are being built, and by May 1 the river will be for ever shut out, except as ft Is needed for Irrigation purposes.
