Don't be dull mul Bloomy,
4 If you cnu't have what you
lack.
Some day, soon It may be.
Your fortune will come back.
Luck will turn and find you
Some delightful day,
Anyhow, Just think so
It's much the better way.
Meanwhile Just be cheery,
Meet life with a smile.
The boy Is always happy
Who whistles all the while.
TVhen you meet misfortune,
Don't let it knock you flat,
Just be glad you're living,
And let It go it that.

ROOSEVELT HITS HARD.
No man can accuse Theodore Roos
welt of being Insincere. Whatever
he does, he does with a clear convic
tion and with honest purpose.
His Decoration Day address at In
iianapolis, In which he scores un
mercifully the predatory owners of
wealth for their crimes of cunning, Is
an Index to the character of the pres
ident. He hates wrong-doing, as
rich, coming from a Harrlman as
from a Czolgosz. He brands criminal
canning In legislation with the same
ganger signal as that with which he
brands criminal violence from Ignor
ast agitators.
rt is refreshing to hear this clear
est, straight-forward sentiment ring
at clearly and boldly In this com
mercial age. It is encouraging to
know that a president has the courage
the arraign the wealthy as readily as
fte moneyless criminal.
The president must take the office
again in order to carry into execution
fte fearless policy of regulation and
control which he outlined yesterday at
Indianapolis.
THE Fl'EL FARCE.
The country is full of coal, and yet a
srrere fuel famine for next winter Is
flrreatened. The people own the gov
ernment, run the government, pay
the expenses of government, take a
Trlde In It and fight for it, and yet
they permit a measly coal trust to
farce a shortage of fuel upon them,
when the public owns millions of acres
tf coal land and there are railroads
running In every direction through It
sd from It
Really this fuel farce Is becoming
fcrce. There should be a shaking up
to the transportation and coal mining
companies that would be remember
ed and the matter' of securing coal
bre it is needed should be attended
to now, before actual suffering begins
arxt winter.
Jf a fuel shortage is precipitated
spon the country next winter the pub
lfc will surely supply itself with coal
trem the trains which carry railroad
an! through the country- Serious
trouble was narrowly averted laBt year
and another famine will make people
rape rate.
HONEY-MAKING VULGARITY.
The Walla Walla Statesman says of
da appearance of Rose Coghlan In
"Ifrs. Warren's Profession," In the
Sau-den City and of the effect of this
ot6-tirable production on the theater-o-f
public of that city:
Cog-Ian and "Mrs. Warren's
aVt.-srion" have come and gone and
WaJba "Will Is no btter nor worse
m the vlxrt. rplt all the advance
sse, all the dread predictions of the
Bectlverjfcst at lu ferocious Immoral
ly, the pople of the community,
wctxrr)? weighted down by legal and
asamsterts.1 advice and warnings, were
ant nrept off their feet, or engulfed In
a whirlpool of the crlmnon life.
Many writers have exhausted them
arfre In speculations as to why "Mrs
Warren's Profession" was written.
TOere can be but one sane excuse of
afcnd -the sordid desire to make
aaoney by catering to the sensational.
Bart one doesn't find half the sensa
fltos In the play there Is In the ad
qssare comments. Instead there Is a
BH ef vulgar rubbish, Interspersed
wBh swill barrel wit, designed to rive
to the depraved taste the full money's
worth.
As to the much heralded shocks and
thrills, there are none. There is no
emotional work of merit, no passion
trends, nothing 'above the common
place immorality, which Isn't noisy
enough to startle, or unusual enough
to Jar.
As to the effectiveness of the play
It depends upon the receptlveness of
the Individual. To the police reporter
the story is so old as to bring the con
tempt of familiarity. To the Innocent
and refined, it Is a tasteless blank a
something so utterly vulgar as to be
not understandable.
There were many women and young
people In that audience last night
who could no more realize the gross
inferences offered than they could
assemble the plot to the Idea of the
author.
There Is no moral to the piece
nothing to exhibit except that one de
sire, to make money. Money !f the
root of the play and the objective of
the playwright. People who con
tributed to the cause last night are
Just that sort of people for n'nom
the author cunningly spread his net.
Sordid desire pandered to morbid cu
riosity. The owners of the play got the
money. The audience stretched its
neck and paid, for the rubber privilege.
The company goes out of town some
wealthier. Those of us left behind
have the supreme satisfaction of tell
ing our neighbors we saw "Mrs. War
ren's Profession."
PULLMAN CAR EXTORTION.
Everybody who patronizes the Pull
man Car company will agree that the
rates should be reduced and the serv
ice improved. It Is one of the most
arrogant monopolies in the country
and can Impose Its prices and unjust
practices on the public with Impunity
because It has no competition and the
public can't help Itself.
The Seattle Newse says of the effort
to reduce Pullman rates and of the
Pullman monopoly In general:
At last the rates of the Pullman
Car company are to be attacked be
fore the Interstate commerce com
mission In an effort to have them re
duced. George F. Loftus, represent
ing the business men of St. Paul, has
filed charges In which he declares
that the fares of the Pullman com
pany are unjust, unreasonable and
excessive.
Until the recent rate law was en
acted It is remarkable how the Pull
man Car company was always able to
have Its business made exempt, no
matter what railroad legislation was
passed by congress.
Yet It Is notorious that the Pullman
Car company Is one of the most out
rageous monopolies In all the country.
It not only charges travelers twice
what they ought to pay for the ac
commodations secured, but It forces Its
patrons to pay the salaries' of the car
company's employes, or a portion of
them at least, 1
It has been shown how the Pullman
Car company has declared stock divi
dends In the last six years aggregat
ing $80,000,000 at par. Notwithstand
ing this enormous watering of stock
It was quoted in the market yesterday
at 161. This means that not only
the original capitalization of $20,000,
000 but the additional $$0,000,000 of
watered stock in the form of divi
dends Is worth In the open market
$161,000,000.
That Is, an original capitalization
of $20,000,0,00, a large part of which
was water, created after the Pullman
company took over the Wagbner Car
company In 1900, has been so exceed
ingly profitable that It could be In
creased five fold and still be worth 161
In the open market.
For the year ending July 31, 1906,
the net profits of the company were
$10,890,068, and the surplus from
this, after paying 8 per cent dividend
on the then capital stock of $74,000,
000, left a surplus of $4,970,074. In
order to have some apparent legiti
mate way of disposing of this surplus
a stock dividend of 36 per cent was
declared In December last thus In
creasing the stock to $100,000,000.
This year's net earnings promise to
leave a surplus of not less than $3,
000,000 even after the regular 8 per
cent dividends have been declared In
July next on the original $20,000,000
Issued In 1900 at the time of the ab
sorption of the Wagner company and
the additional $80,000,000 of water
Issued since that date.
Think of a dally local train running
In daylight from Pendleton to Port
land and return. Such an accommo
dation would be profitable from the
first, as It would encourage travel. It
would be a pleasure to ride on such
a train and this rich territory which
has made the O. R. N. the best
paying proposition In the northwest
deserves such a. train.
The fact Is more noticeable every
year that Decoration Day Is made
more a day of amusement than of
memory and respect. It Is unfortu
nate that the deep significance and

Tlin MEETING OF THE WATERS.
There is not in the wide world a val
ley so sweet
As that vale in whose bloom the
bright waters meet;
O, the last rays of feeling and llf!
must repart
Pre the Moom of that valley shall
fade from my heart
Yet It was not that Nature had shed
o'er the scene
Her ruins' of crystal and brightest of
green;
'Twas not tho toft magic of streamlet
or hill,
O. no it was something more ex
quisite still.
'Twas that friends, the beloved of my
besom were near,
Who made every dear scene of en
chantment more dear.
And who felt how the best charms of
Nature Improve,
Vh?n we see them reflected from
lui ks that we love.
Sweet vale of Avoca! how calm could
I rest
In thy bosom o shade, with the
friends I love best,
Where tin" Btorms, that we feel In
this cold world should cease.
And out hearts, like thy waters, be
mingled in pnuce.

TAKE A CHEERFUL VACATION.
Blessed be the father of a family, or
the single man, or the single woman,
who has solved the problem of "Where
to go for the summer?" Next to the
servant girl problem It Is the moBt
vexing, perhaps, of all the vexing
problems on this planet.
"There Is always something the mat
ter with every summer resort," Is the
general cry. Possibly It would in most
cases be truer If we said, "There Is
something the matter with us." We
take our fusslneBS along with us. In
stead of leaving It In town. We get
a quirk In our minds that we are not
going to be satisfied. That Is no way
to start on a vacation. There are
hosts of delightful places to go to.

S. S. S. is recognized everywhere not only as the best of all blood puri
fiers and the greatest of all tonics, but the one medicine that can be taken
with absolute safety by everyone. Young or old, those in robust health, or
those whose systems are delicate and run-down, may use it with the same
good results, and equally without fear of any unpleasant or injurious after
effects. Next in importance to removing the cause of any disease is the
condition in which the system is left after a course of medical treatment.
Me-lirines containing mercury, potash or other strong mineral ingredients
often do permanent injury by eating out the delicate lining and tissues of
the stomach, producing chronic Dyspepsia, unfavorably affecting the bowels,
and so deranging the system otherwise, that even if the original disease had
been removed from the system it is left in such a weakened and deranged
condition that the health is permanently impaired. S. S. S. enjoys the dis
tinction of being the only blood medicine on the market that does not contain
a mineral ingredientof somekind. It is made entirely of thehealin?. cleans
ing extracts nnd juices of roots, herbs
ioresis ana netus oi nature, unuer our own supervision, and when they reach
our laboratory contain all their original valuable tonic and blood purifying
properties. We offer a reward of $t,ooo for proof that S. S. S. contains a
particle of mineral in any form. Being made entirely from these vegetable
ingredients S. S. S. is absolutely harmless to the system, and while curing
disease adds health and strength to every part of the body. S. S. S. cures
Rheumatism, Catarrh, vScrofula, Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases, Contagious
Blood Poison, and nil other blood troubles by removing the cause and sup
plying the circulation with health-giving and strength-producing qualities
