The day Is long behind me,
The night Is coming on;
But I hear a robin singing
The song he sang at dawn;
Now one Is the morn with even
ing, And one are the earth and
sky,
The blossoms In the meadow
With the stars that breathe
on high.
And youth is young forever,
And love is never old,
Though masks of age are break
ing Back to the primal mold.
So here, from my western win
dow I gaze, ns the stars Increase.
And the mortal and immortal
Are one In this blessed peace.

Reader.
IF HARRIMAX, TTIEX OTHERS.
It is rather surprising that the ad
ministration of President Roosevelt
should center upon E. H. Harriman as
the arch-conspirator In the crooked
deals of Wall street, while John D.
Rockefeller is still at large and un
punished. Why should Harriman, who is prac
tically a new hand at the business, be
singled out for an Investigation, when
that dyspeptic old pioneer who has
been crushing the life out. of Inde
pendent Industries for a quarter of a
century. Is still chuckling over his
latest blow to the independent oil com
pany?
If the administration can catch
Harriman, it can catch Rockefeller.
If it can find Crookedness In Harrl-
m,n' u nn fin'ri mnltlnHed
rascality under the pious robe of the
"oil king."
Let us have a really square deal.
John D. Is getting old. He will not
be on earth much longer and will
shuffle out some day with his sins
unpunished, his wrong-doing unre
buked, while Harriman has a good
chance to live a number of years yet.
Let us hurry along the Investiga
tion and beat the devil to Rockefel
ler's case.
THE GAMBLING MANIA.
Jacob Rils has an excellent short
article In April Century magazine on
the gambling mania In the United
States.
Everywhere you go, he says, you
find men speculating, guessing, plac
ing their money on future prospects,
taking a chance on this and that ven
ture and going wild over gambling
enterprises.
In the smoking car you hear farm
ers talking excitedly over the prospec
tive rise or fall of grain prices; In
the Pullman cars you hear capitalists
speculating, with a hint of the heart
ache In their eyes, on the tottering;
fortunes of some favorite stock on the
exchanges; in the hotel lobbies bus
iness men whisper of the fall or rise
of speculative schemes on which they
placed their money and everywhere
are the burning signal fires of the
consuming mania of gambling.
The worst form of gambling is not
found at the race tracks nor at the
gaming tables. These forms deal
largely with Individuals and their
ruin and Is narrow compared to the
commercial and industrial gambling
in which the welfare of communities,
cities and states are at stake.
PLANT FOR THE FAIR NOW.
The East Oregontan hopes that Its
Umatilla county readers will not feel
bored with the frequent reference to
the coming county fair of 1907.
But the truth Is that we must plant
now, for the fair, or it will not be
what It should be.
The 1906 fair was an excellent
vent, one of which the state may well
be proud. But the Increasing devel
opment of the county and the exper
lence of the first year should make
the 1907 event still more satisfactory.
Every settlement In the ' county
should have a large booth, well filled
with products and portraying In em
phatic terms the wealth of Its soli
and the Industry of Its citizens.
Plant some special crop now.
Lay
plans to capture some prize. Make
a decision now to have the best ex
hibit at the fair. The premium
money appropriated by the state Is
yours fur the taking.
WHAT lEXHIETON NEEDS.
Yesterdiiy it was impossible to se
cure a roll of butter In Pendleton,
because a shipment from the outside
did not arrive. This seems like the
fable of the man dying of thirst while
wading In a beautiful river.
Last week two carloads of eastern
bacon were distributed to the towns
of Umatilla county. Every day sees
eastern products passing through
Pendleton, which might well be pro
duced right here, within our own
dooryards.
The Idea of Pendleton, situated in
the heart of a fine dairying country,
being out of butter or cream, is posi
tively unreasonable. It Is impossible
to find a better dairy or creamery
country than that offered on the foot
hill region of the Blue mountains In
this coifnty. It is out of the question
to surpass the Butter creek and Hud
son bay alfalfa pastures for natural
butter and dairy features.
And yet Pendleton's creamery can
not secure cream sufficient to supply
the home demand. Umatilla county
people refuse to engage in dairying.
when that business yields a handsome
Income from the money Invested.
hat Umatilla county needs Is a
few settlements of thrifty German or
Scandinavian families who will engage
in small farming, exclusively. To this
end all the real estate and land com
panies should work. There is no need
for any more people who will not
engage In the small but highly profit
able Industries.
A good cow, worth $60, will yield
from $5 to $6 per month, or fully 100
per cent of her cost price every year.
Will an acre of wheat do this? Is
there on alfalfa farm In the county
which pays for Itself every year? And
yet people refuse to milk cows.
THE WOMAN'S PART.
The one redeeming almost sacred
feature of the disgrace and Imprison
ment of ex-Senator J. R. Burton of
Kansas, Is the fidelity and constancy
oS his wife, whom It is said by those
famjllar with Burton's life, that he
grossly wronged In the past.
Although his Immoral escapades
while In the Kansas legislature and
elsewhere In his varied public life.
are common newspaper talk and com
mon knowledge all over Kansas, yet
th's HNIe woman went with him
through his disgrace, remained nt his
side when he entered the Jail at Iron-
ton, Mo., and said with a flash In her
eye, that she was prouder of him that
lay than ever before!
Would Burton do as much for her,
should the conditions be reversed?
Would any large proportion of men
in any community do this much for
wife whose life was-questlonable?
And yet she Is called "the weaker
sex."
The business men' of San Francisco
have no one but themselves to blame
for the unspeakable corruption of
the city under the Schmltz-Ruef ad
ministration. Most of the Influential
business men of the Bay city live
over at Berkeley or at San Jose or
Oakland or mm? other fashionable
residence district and have no vote in
San Francisco. That is how Sehmltz
was elected It is said. Many of the
leading business men of the city were
disfranchised by having their rest
dence elsewhere, leaving the Ruef
forces In absolute control. It Is a
severe lesson but It Is fashionable.
Only three counties In the state
Multnomah, Marlon and Clatsop, have
a greater expense bill for the past
year than Umatilla county. The ex
penses of Multnomah were $228,211.
72, those of Marlon $59,E4.04, Clat
sop $76,317.27 and Umatilla $58.-
068.66.
The prosecution of the councllmen
of La Grande and their final convic
tlon and sentence, for taking bribes
from gamblers, proves that such
crimes CAN BH PUNISHED In Ore
gon, despite a deep-seated doubt In
the minds of many good citizens.

If Umatilla county secures one good
family, or even one good bachelor
from the advertising being done by
Pendleton Commercial association, It
will be an excellent Investment.

A Little Lesson in New
Thought
If the Instinctive mind contains
that which Is considered most In us.
the spiritual mind holds all that is
best. There Is no thought of re
venge or cruelty In it, but only love
and kindness. Some call It our
guardian angel.
A Sunday school story will Illus
trate the workings' of the Instinctive
and spiritual minds: An Indian boy,
s,iiil, "bad man said 'steal It' good
man said 'not right.' Bad man said
'nobody see,' good man said 'God
see. So the discussion went from
bad to good man and finally good
man won.
As children we were told the bad
man was the devil, and the good man
our conscience or our guardian an
gel. We were taught to look for the
good and evil Influence outside our
selves not within.
bnder new thought we are told
to look within and examine that cage
of animals In our instinctive mind.
Look within and explore the great
treasures of the spiritual mind.
Good and bird nre but relative
terms that you will understand bet
ter as you advance. To the burned
child, fire Is bad. Later in life It Is
.good.
The Instinctive mind Is of the
body and will gratify the body if you
let It rule you. If you are partially
developed (and most of us are) the
spiritual rnlnd tlrles to lead you high
er. Constant prom'ptlngs are given:
"This is not right," "that Is not hon
orable," "do your duty," etc. And
cold reason will analyze and sum up
as the Indian boy did. Reason Is
cold and spirit Is warm.
Not many ages ago suffering did
not hurt people as It does now. Hon
est people burned so-called witches
at the stake. Many other cruelties
A-cre practiced that make you shud
der as you read them today.
Your spiritual mind Is more devel
oped now. You have commenced to
feel your brother's pain. We have
societies for the prevention of cruel
ty to animals. Our great grandfa
thers did not. As we progress our dev.
11 will keep getting smaller and God
will be our all In all.
In summing up the functions of
the three minds you have probably
realized that the Spirit the real I
in you may have inherited the
spiritual mind as the body Inherited
the instinctive mind, while the in
tellect is a record of this life.
The conscious mind has Imperfect
powers of recollection, while the sub
conscious mind does not forget. Put
the conscious mind in the hypnotic
sleep and the subconscious mind could
tell you all you have ever done.
It is a perfect book of your life.
Every detail Is there every thought,
every act. All your meanness all
the good you have done. It Is more
perfect than any phonographic rec
ord for It ws not made by man. New
Thought.
THE MAN WHO WIXS.
The man who wins Is the man who
works
The man who tolls while the next
man shirks;
The man who stands In his deep dis
tress
With his head held high In the dead
ly pres3
Yes, he is the man who wins.
The man who wins is the man who
knows
The value of pain and the world of
woes
Who a lesson learns from the man
who falls
And a moral finds In his mournful
walls:
Yes, he Is the man who wins.
The man who wins Is the man who
stays
In the unsought paths and the rocky
ways.
And, perhaps, who lingers, now and
then,
To help son-e failure to rise again, '
And he Is the man who wins!
And the man who wins Is the man
who hears
The curse of the envious In his ears,
nut who goes his way with his head
held high
And passes the wrecks of the failures
by
For he Is the man who wins.

A DAY.
The wind today Is like a thing that
sleeps
Worn out with sighing, and the
heavy sky
Over a silent earth broods silently
As one who some mysterious vigil
keeps.
And all the little, happy sounds of
earth
Are stilled as fearful of some un
known thing
Like oourtlors at the death-bed of
a king
When the white presence chills the
pulse of mirth.
And in my heart today the selfsame
fear
Of one who waiting, waiting, turns
to see
Upon his threshold black-garbed
Tragedy
Shrilling with awful laughter, "I am
here!"

He feels keenly his mistakes of the

restore his fortunes by politics. Pub

the presence of his wife. She brings
