Buttling with fate, with men,
and with myself,
Up the steep summit of my life's
forenoon,
Three things I learned three
things of precious worth,
To guide and help me down the
western slope;
I have learned how to pray, and
toll, and save;
To pray for coflrnge to receive
what comes.
Knowing what comes to be di
vinely sent;
To toll for universal good, since
thus
And only thus can good come
unto me;
To save by giving whatsoe'er I
hnve
To those who have not this
alone Is gain.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
BREAKING I P THE IDOLS.
. Emmanuel church of Boston, one
of the oldest Episcopal churches In
the United States, has Installed a de
partment of "moral treatment for
nervous disorders." or In other words,
It has adopted a mixture of Christian
science, suggestion, new thought doc
trine, self help and occultism, as a cure
for the hundreds of people who appeal
for spiritual aid for their mental dis
orders. Drs. Ellwood Worcester and Samuel
McComb, pastors of Emmanuel
church, believe that uplifting thoughts,
pleasant surroundings, Invigorated
mentality, suggestions of pleasant and
Inspiring subjects and active mental
and physical labor will relieve most
of the cases of depression of m'nd
and body, which Is usually accredited
to excessive sinfulness.
So Instead of urging further depress
sion and self-castlgation, these splen
did philosophers n charge of Emman
uel church, prescribe a treatment of
uplifting and cheerful thoughts, give
heavy doses of sunshine, direct the
sufferers to take plenty of active ex
ercise, eat wholesome food as many
times as possible each day, associate
with cheerful people, cease brooding,
sing if possible, pray If they feel like
It and breath deep and strong of the
balmy 'air, that panacea for all mental
and physical Ills.
The results of this treatment have
been extraordinary. People who have
become so depressed with the thought
of their alleged sinfulness that they
were on the verge of collapse or sui
cide, have gone out to take up their
tasks with renewed energy and elevat
d Ideals and the new department la
now about the busiest one In Emman
ual church.
RALLYING TO ROOSEVELT.
John Temple Graves, the eloquent
democratic orator of Atlanta, Ga., In
an address at the Bryan banquet at
Chattanooga, Tenn., a day or two ago,
advocated the nomination of Theo
dore Roosevelt by the democratic na
tional convention.
Startling as this may seem to the
average democrat, yet Graves gives
an excellent reason for it and after
reading his eloquent plea for such
action the harsh suggestion which
might keenly sting the democratic ear
at first thought, Is drowned In sooth
ing eloquence and patriotic buoy
ancy.
In suggesting the nomination of
Roosevelt by the democrats, Mr.
Graves said:
eakiii!? here ileliherntely and for
myself, and In my fair Judgment of
the great majority of the plain nnd
honest (Iciikktuis of the Empire
southern stale, from which I cnnie,
I believe we should put the party
below the M !!, the principles
above the man.
We should rebuke the spirit of
Sills anil tin litifif-or of faction. We
should affirm our principles, confess
our fiillh, roelte tlie necessity of the
reform of corMrate capital ns the su
preme and transcendent Issue of the
times, pay tribute to the great nnd
typical American who lias proved hlm
scir the duiintlew) nnd conquering
enptnln of the jxuple's cause, and

own Wllllum J. Bryan, the one tin-
iiMttclMHl mill Incomparable evangel of
our fnllli, spcnklng for a pure de
mocracy, anil iqicnkluK for the whole
plain people of the republic, should
put III nomination Theodore Roosevelt
for one more undisputed term of pow
er to finish Hie work that lie has so
gloriously bevriin.
IKRUiATION FI NDS NEEDED.
The statement of the chief of the
reclamation department that by the
close of the present year, the available
reclamation fund of the United Stntes
government will have been exhausted,
brings forcibly to mind the fact that
something must be done to replenish
this Important fund.
Congress must come to the aid of
the western states. The work Is not
yet begun. Millions of acres of fine
agricultural lands have not yet been
surveyed with a view to reclamation.
Rivers run Idly to the sea through
Immense deserts which can be re
claimed. And millions of home-hungry
people are begging for a chance
to breath the free air of the coun
try, pleading to be released from the
tliralldom and beggary of the great
cities and congested eastern Btates.
Millions, even billions of acres .of
land have been given by congress to
the transcontinental railroads. This
land if now open to settlement would
yield to the government sufficient
funds to reclaim the deserts of the
west.
If the construction of railroads Into
the west was a work worthy of such
princely gifts, Is not the reclamation
of the wild land for homes for actual
settlers, worthy of congressional ap
propriation, on terms by which the
money appropriated will be returned
from the soil into the treasury?
Western congressmen and senators
are invited and urged to remember
this vital Issue In the coming session
of congress. The reclamation of the
desert must not be allowed to stop.
The government Is too rich, too full-
haniled to deny such a paltry sum as
w ould be needed to convert the deserts
Into fruitful fields. All the west asks
I; a loan. The land will return the
principal an hundred fold. The irri
gated farm is a sub-treasury, Itself.
MIXED ON THE PRIMARIES.'
The Dalles Optimist is slightly mix
ed on the primary nominating elec
tions to be held In Oregon next year.
In making an argument against the
primary law, from a partisan stand
point, the Optimist gets off on the
wrong track entirely ana manes an
argument which Is false and mislead
ing.
Commenting upon an editorial in
the East' Oregonlan concerning the
prospective candidates for the United
States senate next year, the Optimist
ays: "It is plain that with Geer,
Fulton, Cake, Smith and other repub
lkan candidates In the field to divide
the republican vote, Governor Cham
berlain, a democrat, In the minority
can come Into the field alone, and
carry off the plum, while the state Is
heavily republican. The result will
be that although Oregon heavily re
publican by reason of the direct pri
mary law, a democrat may be chosen
for the senate," or words to that ef
fect. The Optimist does not evidently
know the provisions of the primary
law. No matter how many republi
cans seek the nomination at the prima
ries, there can be but one candidate
chosen and then In the general elec
tion at which a choice Is finally made
by the people there will be but one
republican and one democratic can
didate. The lone democrat will not divide
the republican vote in the primary
election. Each candidate will have
his own following. If the republican
vote Is divided before the primaries
that does not signify that It will be
after the primaries. .
The Optimist In making an attack
on the primary law is simply making
an appeal to the prejudice of partisan
voters and states the case entirely
wrong. No matter how many candi
dates there aro before tho primaries,
there can be but one from each party
l.i the general election.
The suggestion of the master work
man of the A. O. U. W. that all ap
plicants for marriage license be ex
amined as to their physlcnl and men
tal fitness for marriage, Is an excel
lent idea and should bo adopted by
society In self-defense. The idiotic,
sickly, criminal and pauper classes
are Increasing at un enormous rate
through the Indiscriminate marriage
of any and everybody having the
price of a marriage license.

A Little Lesson in New
Thought
We will next take the subject of
Omnipotence for discussion. Web
ster's definition is "nil powerful." If
the Infinite is Omnipotent, He ts all
powerful, or He possesses all the
power there Is there is no power
that Is outside of Him or he would
not be omnipotent.
Any power than man mny discover
and use was already her'.- nnd every
where, only man had not learned
how to harness It for his use.
It Is an old saw ' there Is nothing
new under tlv. sun ami tnis applies
to nun's so-tailed discoveries. Water
ran to waste for thousands of years
until man finally learned to use this
power.
The powerful tides of the sea ebb
and flow twice each day. Some day
man will harness this power and
the man who invents the machine
will have advanced mankind many
step.
Our peerles3 Edlsen discovered
electricity but did he? Did he not
discover how to harness the electric-
It? It Wits here all the time, only
man had not learned how to put it
to his -ise. KUiuricity is not the In
finite, It Is only a manifestation of
Him. Neither Is Ihe power of the
times, or steam or water or fire. All
of these tl'Jngj are powerful but
not Ihe Ml Powerful -they are mani
festations only of (lis power.
All of the power that man tan
think of Is the things the Intellect
can grasp. The power or electricity,
fire and water man partially under
stand!" and controls, but of the pow
er that ' holds worlds upon tforldd In
space he has no conception. His
puny mind cannot grasp or measure
such power.
His standanl and" guage is horse
power. What name would he invent
to convey the Idea to his fellowman
of the cower to hold up a single
wo: Id? Horsepower would haidly
represent It.
Our sun holds eight planets I
space, hut it is not the Ml Powerful.
Astronomers tell us, at a low esti
mate, there are a billion suns like
ours holding planets In space. None
of these are the All Powerful. A
still greater power holds them In
space.
Poor man! When he contem
plate? the Infinite all his powers and
achievements shrivel Into Insignifi
cance. Put, do not forget to look
on the other side of the shield.
As small as man Is, God needs him.
If It were not so he would not be
here. He Is a part, and though small
he cannot be spared. It takes all the
units to make a whole. One speck
gone and It is not' complete. New
Thought.
THE EARTH SUFFICES.
O Earth, sufficing all our needs, O
you
With room for body and for spirit
too,
How patient while your children vex
their souls
Devising alien heavens beyond your
blue.
Dear dwelling of the Immortal and
unseen.
How obstinate In my blindness
have I been,
Not compiehendlng what your ten
der calls,
Veiled promises and reassurance,
mean!
Not far and cold the way that they
have gone,
Who thro' your sundering darkness
have withdrawn
Almost within our hand-reach they
remain
Who pass beyond the sequence of
the dawn,
Not far and strange the heavens, but
very near,
Your children's hearts unknowlng
' ly hold dear.
t times we almost catch the door
swung wide
An unforgotten voice almost we
hear!
I am the heir of heaven and you
are Jut.
You, you alone I know, and you I
trust.
Tho I seek God beyond the farthest
star,
Here shall I find Him, In your
deathless dust.

NO "TAINTED" MONEY.
William J. Bryan, In a lecture at
the Grand Avenue Methodist church,
Kansas City, praised churches and
other Institutions that have refused
gifts of "tainted money," and said:
"I am glad to see this question agi
tated. I am sanguine enough to be
lieve thst this struggle over accept
ing money which has been amassed
by questionable means will yet bo
stttled on the side of ethics nnd
morality. I believe the time Is com
ing when great educational institu
tions w'l! refuse to give respectability
to t'rent criminals by going Into part
nership with them. We are too prone
to measure morality at the door of
the penitentiary. We forget that
there are many criminals outside pris
on Joots."

AN ACID BLOOD POISON
Rheumatism is an acid blood poison, and the causes that produce It are
often silently accumulating in the system for years. Poor digestion,
stomach troubles, weak kidneys, torpid liver, and a general inactive condi
tion of the system leaves the refuse and waste matter, which should be
carried off, to sour and form uric acid, which is absorbed into the blood.
When the blood is in this acid-charged condition, it deposits the poisons
and irritating particles with which it is loaded in the muscles, nerves;
joints and bones. Then Rheumatism gets possession of the system, and
life is made miserable by its pains, aches and discomforts. The changing
of the weather, exposure to cold and dampness, etc., always increase the
trouble, and so severe does the pain become that quick relief mutt be
had. A good liniment or plaster is oiten helpful, but it should b re
membered that relief from such treatment is only temporary, because the
trouble is in the blood and cannot be re
PURELY VEGETABLE
