'
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!

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

tions, In peril and privation?
How should such commercial char
latans be rated, In comparison with
the splendid womanhood which in -
vaded Oregon with the pioneer' men
and with their own hands and In-'
domitable spirits made it possible for
these money-loving "Johnny - come -

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

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.

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

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."

HOW FLOWERS WERE NAMED.
Camlllla was named from a mis
sionary in the orient, Kamel. 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

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

marches to music. The very stars are
said to make harmony as they revolve
In their spheres. Wonderful Is the
strength of cheerfulness, altogether

the circuit Is tired and the wheel Is

STORIES OF SALTON DESERT.
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

an Ingenious Yankee found a group

rigate a farm, while the animals plied
back and forth between the river and
