The mem'ry ef the years that
made us strong.
When ties unbroken, hearts de
fying wrong
We longed to mingle In the
mighty fray
Of earth's grim turmoil, brook
ing no delay
Of quick results. How strange
the tale and long
That teaches us at last life's
grander song.
To serve not as we will, but as
we may.
Thouch fairest hopes He trod
den in the fight.
We feel our daunted hearts
grow brave again
To see new hopes that fold a
greater light
Within their petals, offer after
rain
Of drtad misfortune, homage to
the right
And thanks for the beneficence
of pain.

TO DISCOURAGE RESERVES.
It is said that one of the chief
reasons why the lumber trust of the
northwest has raised the price of
lumber so much within the past two
o- three years Is to whip the public
Into line on the forest reserve ques
tion. Tt.o -.i.ct Id nqlnraltr nr.nna.il t r
the reservs because their formation
stops the flagrant abuses of the trust
In grabbing the public domain. The
peiple are generally in favor of the
reserves because they give promise
of saving the remnant of the forests
to the public.
So In order to make the public
change its sentiment on ' the forest
reserve question, the lumber trust
puts up the price of lumber, claim
ing that the creation of the forest re
serves and the restriction of the lum
ber companies by the government are
thu'ciuses of high prices.
The trust attempts to reach the
sentiment of the public through Its
pocket.
But It Is safe to say that little
change will be made by these tactics
of the trust.
WHY NOT OWN THEM?
The United States government will
now oegin an extended Investigation
of the Harrlman system ot railroads.
with a view to ascertaining In how
many devious and hidden ways this
great magnate Is violating the laws
of the land.
The Investigation will require the
services of courts, committees, special
agents, special prosecutors, special
witnesses and a thousand other spec
ial expenses which the people must
pay.
And after It Is all over, the fact will
remain that Harrlman will have his
friends in congress to strengthen his
syetem by special legislation.
Why not authorize the government
to buy the railroads and be done with
It? The court expenses made neces
sary hy these Investigations would be
sufficient to buy the entire proposi
tion within a few years.
THE FARMER WANTS TO KNOW.
Yesterday the East Oregonlan sug
gested tha,t the Pendleton Tribune
make some sort of statement to the
farmers of Umatilla county on the
jute plant proposition which Is now a
foremost Issue In the farming com
munities. The farmers really need relief from
the Jute and grain bag trust, and they
desire the assistance of the newspa-
pera which they support, In securing
this relief.
The East Oregonlan is willing to
make a fight for a jute plant In the
Oregon penitentiary, but It would be
delighted to have the co-operation of
the Pendleton Tribune, which paper
Is, or should be, equally Interested In
the welfare of Umatilla county and
eastern Oregon farmers.
Instead ot making a plain statement
to its p-.trons the Tribune wanders off
on u tangent, talking Chinook jargon
and quoting Frank Davey on the Jute
mill proposition.
This will not answer. The Tribune
Is either for or against a Jute mill
and the farmers of the county wish
to know where It stands.
It Is one thing to talk patriotically
of the great "captains of Industry" In
the L'mtod States, and of the great
advantages of combination of capital,
but it Is another thing to dig into the
facts and tell your farmer readers
why they should pay 10 and 11 cents
each for sacks when th'e same can
be bought across the line In Washing
ton for 6 cents each.
It is one thing to boast of the high
protective tariff which has made all
the prosperity of the country, but
quite another thing to explain to Uma
tilla county farmers why they should
pay $7.56 on each 400-pound bale of
jute, when not a pound of commer
cial jute Is raised in the United States.
Really, the farmer readers of th
Pendleton Tribune would like an an
swer to these pertiaent Oyuestlons.
They do not need any Instruction
in Chinook. The school children In
Umatilla county can talk Jargon. But
tbe eldest citizen has not been able to
unravel the mysteries of the Jute tar
iff nor the bag trust.
A number of big questions which
vitally concern Pendleton nnd Umatil
la county will be before the legisla
ture this winter. Among them are
the jute plant, the Weston normal
appropriation, the portage road ex
tension, the pupreme court building
for Pendleton, a new water law, co
operative action on the part of Or
egon. Idaho ord Washington In open
ing the Columbia river, and other
vital issues. On all these questions
the Commercial association of Pen
dleton should be ready to advise with
members of the legislature. This as
sociation has the reputation of doing
things and can be of Inestimable as
sistance in securing legislation needed
for eastern Oregon.
The East Oregonlan regrets the de
fo.it of Ben B. Llndsey. the Indepen
dent candidate for governor of Colo
rado. As Judge of the Juvenile court
of Df-nver, Llndsey has proved to he
a b'g man, of sterling qualities, a
friend and guide of vagrant boys, a
practical and high minded reformer
who has always heen above the wran
gles of petty politics. Any man who
takes an active Interest in boys, and
especially in bad boys, and who de
votes his life to the task of making
them better and more manly, deserves
promotion.
Congressman Pollard, of Nebraska
has Just returned to the sergeant-at-arms
of the national house of reprc
se:ilatlven the sum of $1S88 salary
which was paid to him for time he
did not actually serve In congress.
Hls my one heard of Binger Her
mann returning any part of the salary
he drew at the last session? Although
not allowed by the ethics of the house
to appear In congress, yet Hermann
took mileage and salary In full. A
little flesh of the Nebraska conscience
would be refreshing In Oregon.
The progress and growth of Pendle
ton's schools is the wonder of the past
few years In this community. Al
ready the three new school buildings
are filled to overflowing. The prl
vate schools of the city are also mak
ing great strides. Students from every
eastern Oregon county are now to be
found in Pendleton schools. Can there
be any better recommendation?
The paving on Main and Court
streets looks so good that It is hoped
the property owners on Alta and
Webb will demand that the paving
p'ant remain In Pendleton for anoth
er year. Really this Is the most sub
stantial Improvement ever made by
Pendleton and more of It should be
secured while the machinery and the
equipment are here.
The entire Palouse district has been
blessed during the past week with
heavy rains.
FOUNTAIN PENS

VOODOOISM IX HAYTI.
In name the Haytlans nre Chris
tians, and, In the particular, Roman
Catholics. In fact, however, they are
votaries of the Voodoo, or, rather,
Vaudoux, an they call it, which de
mands human sacrifice. Despite all
Christianity. deBplte Catholic and
Protestant missionaries, the mass of
the people have long since relapsed
into the old African fetlchlsm.
All travellers who have written on
Haytl Moreau, St. Meny. Spencer.
St. John, Samuel Hasard. Texler. etc.
agree that the Voudoux cult Is
flourishing In every part of the coun
tiy, mid that human lives fall victims
to it. They only differ In regard to
the numher of Its victims.
But whether these victims number
at least 1?,00 annually, as writes the
Frenchman, Texler. or whether, as
cliln.s a Haytlan author, the mulatto
Tipponhautr, who Is anxious to de
fend his country, the human sacrifices
are "by no means general," is. after
all, of little Import. A hundred or a
thousand the sad fact remains that
In a country recognized by the pow
ers as "Christian" and civilized a great
number of children are annually
slaughtered and eaten. And this atro
cious cult is not restricted to the
dregs of the people: the highest official!-
rank among Its votaries. Toua
saint IOuverture, Hayti's liberator,
and his successor, "Emperor" Dessal
Inrs and "King" Christophe. were
themselves "papalois," high priests.
HIGHER SALOON LICENSES.
At the time the 11000 saloon license
ordinance was passed last spring the
opponents of that measure predicted
that It would mean ruin io a large
proportion of the saloon keepers,
while even the most ardent friends of
the measure did not think that the
city could come anywnere near
doubling Its receipts from the licenses
by means of It. Their estimate, and
they themselves thought It optimistic
on the financial side, was that prob
ably ; per cent of the saloons would
go out of business.
The renewal of the saloon licenses
for the second half-year since the
passage of the ordinance shows, to the
surprise of every one concerned, that
the number of saloons has fallen off
merely to a trifling extent, from 73T.3
to 7231. The revenue for the current
year will be $7. 292.00O. as airainst
$3,729,091 last year. This fact Is In
part due. of course, to the saloon lim
itation ordinance, which fixes the ra
tio of saloons to population nnd pro
vides that no new licenses can be Is
sued In place of any that are revoked
or surrendered till this ratio is
reached, which will not be for a long
time to come. Chicago Record-Her

STUH ENDS OF NEW THOUGHT.
Truth stands Immovable nnd ever
present, awaiting our individual per
ception. Man has been like a king seeking
alms at his own palace gates under the
delusion that he Is a beggar.
The world Is filled with svstems.
cults, creeds and methods of reform.
Enough surely to bring peace upon
earth If It could be done that way.
The person who has awakened to
Individuality knows that he need not
beg or cringe or whine like a whipped
cur at the feet of the Infinite.
Universal Individuality means that
we must each of us attend strictly to
our own affairs so you mav see how
far away we are from universal Indi
viduality. One of the prolific causes of all the
trouble today Is the mistaken Idea
tha we must attend to some one else's
business, some one else's "salvation"
and "conduct."
If human beings could be lumped
together and driven like sheep wher
ever the herder wished to drive them
any of the methods employed In the
past would have won out. Mclvor-

THE TIBETAN' BIBLE.
The Kahgyur, or Tibetan Bible,
consists of 108 volumes of 1000 pages
eacn, containing 1083 separate books.
fcach of the volumes weighs 10 pounds
ana lorms a package 26 Inches long.
eight Inches broad and eight IncheB
deep. This Bible requires a dozen
yaks for Its transport, and the carved
wooden blocks from which It Is
printed need rows of houses, like a
city, for their storage.
A tribe of Mongols paid 7000 oxen
for a copy of this Bible. In addition
to the bible there are 225 volumes of
commentaries, which are necessary for
its understanding. There- Is also
large collection of revelations which
supplement the Bible. The Ghourkl

WAY OF THE WORLD.
Nine men toll while one man plays,
Nine men serve one all their days;
Nine men beg what one may give,
Nine men die that one may live.
One man laughs while nine men sigh
One succeeds where nine men try;
One man wins the love he craves,
Nine men to pretense are slaves.
One man hopes while nine despair;
One usurps what nine should share;
"Home time," nine men weakly say,
Boldly one man says "Today!"

OVU YESTERDAY'S.
Ah, why turn back life's blotted page
To dwell thereon In vain regret!
Better to turn the new page o'er
And strive to pay the old one's debt.
By largesse of the living thought
That moves on luminous word and
deed
Through pain and wrong and pathless
night
Straight to the heart of other's
need.
Making of Self Love's servant true
Who waits not for the ctarlon call
But holds In an o'erflowlng cup
Some drops of tenderness for all.
If lovingly through each new day
Swerveless we walk life's nobler
ways
Then one by one our God shall wipe
The stains from all our yesterdays.

THE OLD HOOKS.
They are gray with the gray of ages,
Borrowed, and begged, and sold;
Thumb marked of saints and sages
In the scholarly days of old.
Rose leaves pressed for a lover
Rest In their pages dim,
Though silent centuries cover
All that Is left of him.
Singers and saints and sages
In the fame of a name we trust.
But time will cover our pages,
As even our tombs, with dust;
For here, In the library's shadows,
Where the famed and fameless be,
I roam In forgotten meadows.
With the centuries over me.

Bound by the snow!
Not a glint nor glow.
Not a sound in the white-strewn air,
Save the bleat of the sheep,
As they leap and leap,
In the wrench of their wild despair.
And the men inside
Lit no man deride
They are praying, all In a breath,
That their time's not come.
Though their lips are numb
With the cold of the drifting death.

Mrs. Henrietta A. S. Marsh, 7t W.

Woman's Benevolent Ass'n, writes:
' Buttered with la grippe tor seven
weeks, and nothing I could do or lake
helped me until I tried Peruna.
"I felt at once that I had at last
secured the right medicine and I kept
steadily Improving, Within three weeks
I was fully restored, and I am Rind that
I gave that truly great remedy a trial.
I will never be without It again."
In a letter dated August 31, KM, Mrs.
Marsh says: "I have never yet heard
the cftlcacy of Peruna questioned. We
still use it. I traveled through Ken

where 1 found Peruna doing Its pood
