Xo one places a higher vulue
upon the free school than I clo;
and no one tikes greater pride
in the prosperity of our colleges
and universities. But at the
same time, much that is called
education simply unfits men
successfully to fight the battle
of life. Thousmds nre today
studying things that will be of
exceeding little importance to
them or to others. Much valua-
Me time is wasted In studying
lLinguaes that long ago were

REIU'KE TO ROOSEVELT.
Tht Hat Oregonian sincerely hopes
that the final count of the vote in
Idaho shows thot state to be demo.
cratic. at least as far as the governor
is concerned.
President r.ooevelt. al'.hough a 1
mir"1 by many democrats, insulted
the decent citizenship of Idaho by'
sending Taft to that state for the I
purrose of urging "law and order." ,
Frank Hteiintnherg's murderers will
be just as tirelessly sought out and
Just as severely punished by a demo
cratic .is l,y a republican administra
tion In Idaho.
It is not a question of politics, but
of state honor and pride and the im-
pmatirn of Roosevelt that Gooding,
should be elected in order to secure I
adequute punishment for a gang of
murderers is dishonest, unjust and en
tirelv foreign to the president's usual
ly excellent rule of conduct.
TIIF. XFXT COINTY FAIR.
Let us begin now to make arrange
ments for the next county fair.
Let the progressive farmers of the
county, especially those of the Irrigat
ed districts, plant some special, early
crops for the fair. Let them plan to
have specially large and excellent
products readv for their exhibit, with
out solicitation by an agent next fall.
We now have a whole year In which
to p!an and prepare. Let us not wait
until the last JO days of that year
before making a move. Fvery sec
t'on of the county should have a spec
ial exhibit. It Is possible to show the
finest products ever seen In any fair
In the west from the irrigated sections
of Fmaii'la county.
Let us plant some early seed for
exhibit purposes. Let us have unusu
al, extraordinary crops, something
which will be a practical demonstra
tion of irrigation.
Show what can be raised on one
half acre. Plant something special
In frnce corners and In garden plots
for an individual exhibit at the fair.
Now Is the time to think of It, not
next September.
TITE ROMANCE IS ENDING.
The romance of the open stock
ranges of eastern Oregon Is rapidly
cloying and the dull reality is dawning
upon the stockman.
For 30 years the Interior of Oregon
has been parcelled out among the
sheep and ca'.tl kings, according to
their own agrements. They were
really kings of the range. The public
domain was theirs for the taking and
for a tiuarter of a century the gradual
Invasion of the settler Into tht rick
mountain valleys was the only thorn
In the flesh of the stockman.
Now a far more Important thorn
has been Inserted into their flesh
the foreBt reserve and the forest mi
perlntendont. The exodus of L'matllla county
stockmen to Sumpter this week, to
.ipplv for a parcel of range In tho
I .'ne ( nountalns forest reserve shows
how keeniy the change is affecting
the Mock industry. Fcrmerly Dill
Joins and Jim Smith parcelled out
the range according to their own
boundaries. Jones agreed to range
on the wes-t slope of a certain moun
lam ar.d Smith agreed not to cros.
lit'rricane creek or Desolation creek
or Texas bar or some other natural
h-ndmurk in the range district.
Cottle trails. creeks, mountain
r:dge, ilkali "licks" and other home
iy obi-cts of the range were formerly
the only boundaries known to the
kings of the range. Township plats
government maps and all such, were
unknown on the ranges. What cared
the cattle kings for maps or charts,
as long as Bald mountain, John Day
river. Camas prairie and other natural
landmarks remained for their guid
ance'' Eut now It is different. The cat
tleman and sheepman has become a
student of maps and charts. The for
est reserve has obliterated the homely
natural boundaries. The government
map maker has little respect far the
sacrtd landmarks of the rang?. It
matters little to the sleek forest su
perintendent whether Desolation creek
is on Dill Jones' range or not. Rill
J nes must take what is parcelled out
to him by section lines and township
boundaries.
Ar.d o the romance Is ending. The
I immense herds which have formerly
j ranged at will over Interior Oregon
must now be confined within the "of-
f.cia!" boundaries of the range allot
ted to thm. And the entire stock
Industry will be affected by this
change. The narrowing range area
will force a reduction of the herds.
Quality and not numbers, will count
hereafter.
THE HOSTILE INDIANS.
's a time since the northwest
,,as l'xIH rii. nced the sensation of a'real
Indian war, but unless the troops in
the valley of the little liig Horn and
the Tongue rivers round up within a
few davs the Indians who are ranging
the mountains on the borders of Mon
tana and Wyoming, there may be se-
rinus trouble there.
11 -"terns strange that these Indians
knowing what they must know of the
''rength of the whites, should be wll-
ling to engage the troops In battle.
Going on the warpath is a different
proposition from what it was 20 or 30
years ago.
The last serious encounters were In
the extreme southwest when Oeronl-
mo and his bloodthirsty Apaches were
ranging through Arizona and New
Mexico, bringing terror, not only to
whites, but to peaceable Indiaps as
well. The ghost dances at Wounded
Knee about 10 years ago were threat
ening, but never developed Into a se
rious form of trouble.
Now, however, there appear to be
considerable bands df Cheyennes, Utes
and possibly some Crows who are
ready to don their war paint In satis
faction of grievances of which they
complain.
The scene of operations Is historic.
Birney, north of the Northern Paclflo
railroad In southeastern Montana, Is
only a few miles from the scene of
one of General Miles' fiercest encoun
ters with the Indians, and only a little
further from Custer's famous battle
ground. but the readiness' of the red men
to resort to arms Is perhaps not more
surprising than that at this time and
at this late day our Indian policy
should still result n Drovoklne the
Indian to fight, for, as a matter of
fact, the Indian is usually patient un
der wrong and Injustice and does not
readily take the warpath In satisfac
tion of his wrongs.
The probabilities are that there (s
something seriously, at fault In the
treatment of these Indians which It
ought to be the first business of the
authorities to satisfy In the hope of
averting the horrors of an Indian out
break In a country where there are so
many defenseless settlers.
The East Oregonian Is delighted to
see the Commercial association take
up the matter of street paving on the
outside streets. While the paving
plant Is here It should be kept con
tinually busy Improving Pendleton
streets. The cost Is not beyond the
reach of residence property and the
result of the paving will be to bring

outside capital which will be attracted

LITTLE HOY.
Little boy, little boy open your heart!
Let me peep Into that wonderful
mart:
Flowers and laughter and songs for
a kiss.
Faith in hereafter when things nre
amiss;
Yonder a fairy peeps out with a
smile,
Singing an airy sweet song all the
while;
Brownies -and spirits long frightened
from earth
Here are at work making laughter
and mirth;
True fairyland Is this wonderful mart.
Little boy, little boy, open your heart!
Little boy, little boy, close fast your
heart!
There's not a treasure from which you
can part;
Flowers and laughter they're worth
more than gold;
Faith in hereafter its value untold;
Fairies there's naught in the world
half so sweet;
When you have lost them your loss Is
complete;
Guard them and keep them, your
fairies and elves,
Till they depart, as they will, of them
selves. There's not a treasure from which
you can part
Little boy, little boy, close fast your
heart!

"LICENSED" INSANITY.
Crazed by licpior and harboring the
devilish Mesiie to kill his wife and
children. John Roth, a resident of the
town of Rornamwood, a short distance
north of here, was shot and fatally
wounded by Ivs son VMward, last
niulit. Just as the father was In the
ait of ii-nitlrg a fuse attached to a
powerful charge of dynamite within
10 feet of the shack within which hi
scarod family were huddled, says a
di itch Horn Appk'ton, Wis.
Roth took aboard a cargo of liquor
at a salrt..n a mile awav from bis
home, and then went home saying he
would kill his wife and family. He
turned all of . his stock loose, as he
said he might need them later. Then
he proceeded to look up his store of
dvr.nm'te, when his family took the
cue and fied to a neighbor's home
over a mile awav. Roth blew tip his
house and all of his outbuildings,
when he discovered his family had
escaped.
Surmising they had gone to the
neighbor's, he lighted a lantern and
rave rursuit. As he came to the house
he saw them clustered about a table
In half-crazed fear, with the male el
ement of the neighbor's family stand
ing at the open doorway.
He circled the rear of the house
with nefarious cunning, and was Just
about to light the fuse that would
have blown the house to atoms when
the load of buckshot from tt.c shotgun
of his son penetrated his shoulder and
Jaw and he fell mortally wounded.
The son knew the cunning of his
father and had patrolled the entire
garden plot about the home to pro

On the back of the sedan chair In
which the bride goes away are nunc

The real cause for Kczema is the presence of humors null sour acids in
the Wood. These impurities get into the circulation because of imperfect
action of those members of the system whoie duty it is to collect and carry
off the refuse and waste of the body. As this etTete matter lies in the
System it ferments and generates acrid humors which nre absorbed into the
blood, overcharging this vital fluid with acid. In its effort to keep the sys
tetu healthy the blood throws off the humors through the pores and glands
of the sktu, causing this tormenting skin disease. The escape of acids and
humors through the pores and glands irritates an 1 burns the skin, producing
pustules filled with a clear, sticky fluid, which dries in crusts and patches
causing the most intense itching, and often pain. The trouble is in the blood,
and S. S. S. is the remedy for Eczema, because it is a real blood purifier. It
goes down into the circulation, removes all acids and humors and makes the
blood rich, pure and healthy. When S. S. S. has done this the symptoms
pass awav, the blood is cooled and the disease cured permanently. Nothing
acts so promptly or pleasantly in all skin diseases as S. S. S., and it is at
the same time a fine tonic to the entire system. Book on Skin Diseases and
