There Is no rhyme that Is half
so sweet
As the song of the wind In the
rippling wheat;
There Is no meter that's half so
fine
As the lilt of the brook under
rock and vine:
And the loveliest lyric I ever
heard
Was the wlldwood strain of a
forest bird.
If the wind and the brook and
the bird would teach
My heart their beautiful parts
of speech,
And the natural art that they
say these with,
My soul would sing of beauty
and myth
In a rhyme and a meter that
none before
Have sung In their love, or
dreamed in their lore,
And the world would be richer
one poet the more.

REMEMBER HOME SCHOOLS.
i
j At this season of the year the coun
try is flooded with catalogues of
schools, colleges, academies and
Institutions of learning of every
k'nd and character in every part of
the country, but the East Oregonlan
wishes to impress It upon the mind
and memory of the people of eastern
Oregon that Pendleton offers as good
facilities as any other place in the
northwest, and is near at hand where
eastern Oregon people can reach It
easily and be in touch with their chil
dren while in school here.
Remember that you can send your
children to school here as cheaply and
secure as good a grade of training as
In the same class of schools elsewhere.
If you want high school training
you can be supplied here with the
highest grade of high school Instruc
tion. If you wish academic training
Pendleton academy and St. Joseph's
academy can supply you, and if you
desire a business education Pendleton
Business college or the commercial
department of Pendleton high school
can fit you well for a business career
and there Is no need to send your
"children to Portland, Seattle, Spokane
or elsewhere to get this training.
Pendleton is the gateway to eastern
Oregon. All eastern Oregon roads
lead to and center In this city. Tou
can be in touch with your children in
thjs city and the cost of school here 's
moderate while 'he standard of train
ing given here la o high as elsewhere
In the northwest.
Remember your home schools, while
you are reading school catalogues dur
ing the vacation period. Remember
that you have eastern Oregon institu
tions which claim your support and
which merit It In every way. Let us
stand by and build up eastern Oregon
Institutions Instead of sending our
money out of the community and out
of the state In payment for the samo
article which can be secured at home.
Remember the home schools this
year.
CONSCIENCE IS CALLOUSED.
With a certain class of "money
makers" operating In the northwest,
very little disgrace attaches to an in
dictment for land frauds, If any money
has been made out of the deal.
The East Oregonlan is personally
acquainted with one of the men Just
indicted by the Idaho federal grand
Jury and It knows that he will take
the Indictment of himself for land
frauds as a sort of an advertisement.
He will wink and caress his well-
filled pocket and will not feel a pang
of conscience nor a sting of disgrace.
Making money Is the chief object
of life with this ..lass of cold-blooded,
"thrifty" fellows and when you get
down to the bottom of their worth
and merit it pinches out, like a blind
quartz lend. They are Jolly good fel
lows and their friendship Is warm
as long as they are making money
out of their associates, but when the
profit stops their friendship either
cools off suddenly or altogether ceases,
They would object to a fine because
It would mean the surrender of that
much cash, not because of the dis
grace of being guilty; they would ob
ject to being sent to Jail because tt
would keep them away from business
and not because of besmirched man
hood or the rebuking of conscience.
They will go about with their heads
held high, demanding recognition, and
claiming a place with decent and re
spectable men, feeling that the money
they have made covers up all the
shadows of their characters.
It is time that really honest and con
scientious business men put this class
of men where they belong, In the
criminal class, and keep them there.
It Is a serious thing to hold up and
pamper guilty men and give them
every recognition because of their
money.
It Is not a wholesome example to
set before young men and boys. They
will naturally think that If business
men condone one class of crime they
will excuse and tolerate other crimes,
and so the standard of citizenship is
lowered.
TWO-CENT FAKES POPULAR.
The most popular form of railway
legislation with state legislatures In
the sessions just closed or about to
close was the reduction of the rates
of passenger fare.
A summary of such legislations
shows that 18 states in all have re
duced the passenger rate to 2 cents a
mile. These states are: Alabama,
Arkansas, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kan
sas, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi,
Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina,
North Dakota, Pennsylvania, South
Dakota, Oklahoma, West Virginia and
Wisconsin.
The representatives of the roads
will oppose In the courts every 2-cent
fare law that has been passed in
western states. If the roads win in
the United States supreme court, the
eastern roads will take steps to upset
the 2-cent fare laws of Ohio, Michigan,
Indiana and other states.
The roads traversing Indiana and
Michigan have agreed to make effec
tive without delay the 2-cent rate on
state traffic, but will not reduce their
rate on Interstate traffic to a basis
of 2 cents until the courts have ruled
that they must do so.
Such a ruling would cost the rail
roads between Chicago and the Atlan
tic seaboard millions of dollars. Some
of the attorneys for railroads believe
that the supreme court will decide
that the state laws are unconstitu
tional because of their effect on In
terstate traffic.
In signing the 2-cent fare law in
Illinois, Governor Deneen said that he
did so in the full knowledge that ex
tended litigation In the courts would
be necessary to establish or disprove
the validity of the measure.
Ninety-two years ago today, on June
18, 1815, the battle of Waterloo was
fought and at sunset on that .evening
50,000 men lay dead upon the bloody
field. -Today peace delegates from all
the great powers are meeting at The
Hague, not far from the field of
Waterloo, to discuss universal peace
but even today, after almost a century
of peace talk, the nations have larger
navies, larger armies and greater war
budgets than ever. Only a little over
a year ago Manchuria was covered
with the corpses of Russian soldiers
from end to end and the carnage at
Port Arthur was as terrible as that on
Hugomont hill on the field of Water
loo at the beginning of the last cen
tury-
There will be little opposition to
the bond Issues for sewers, streets,
city hall and other purposes at the
election to be held In this city next
Monday. The matter has already been
thoroughly discussed and It has been
agreed by Pendleton that the bond
Issues are needed so the election will
be merely a perfunctory matter. The
decision Is already rendered Dy tne
DeoDle. No really worthy demand
upon the taxpayers of Pendleton was
ever Ignored and thlc will be no ex
ceptlon to the rule. .

PAUL REVERE'S RIDE.
(Carefully Reconsidered from a Just
Standpoint.)
Listen, my children, and you shall
hear
The amended version of Paul Revere.
Twas the nineteenth of April, In '75,
When Boston swarmed like a buzzing
hive
With the red-coat mtnons of George
the Third.
And Paul Revere, who had some
where heard
That the British would march upon
village and town,
Got the farmers ready to shoot them
down.
On the opposite side of the Charles
he strode.
inpatient to mount and follow the
road,
And he watched for the lights where
his friend would be
One if by land and two if by sea.
One light flashed out and he leaped
astride;
Two lights flashed out; he was ready
to ride;
And here's where the story begins to
be new,
And places the credit where credit Is
due.
For the faithful steed of Paul Revere
Reared up in front with a snort of
fear;
He saw the lamps in the belfry bright,
And he thought that each was an
"auto" light!
Please don't imagine that Just because
Tno horse didn't know what an auto
spas
He couldn't be frightened; for you
and I,
Who may not bo easy to terrify.
Must still confess, however we boast,
It's what we know least that fright
ens us most!
You'll see the objection at once, of
And as Paul was on him, Paul went
too.
You'l s?e the objection at once, of
course;
The credit entire belongs to the
horse;
And he fares better than men have
fared
To be made a hero because he was
scared!

HIGHEST CAMP IN THE WORLD.
Harrington Putnam of New York
sends the following extract from a
letter from Mrs. Fanny Bullock
Workman, who has been making
some marvelous mountain ascents In
the Himalayas.
'We have Just finished a Journey
to the Nun Kun range, southwest of
Ladokh, with Mix Italian porters and
the guide, C. Savage of Courmayeur.
He was with us In 1903 and refused
the offers of the Duke of Rumenzori
to go with me. It was my expedi
tion, Dr. Workman only decidling to
go as my guest at the last moment.
We made the first circuit, of the
range, 90 to 100 miles, over 40 miles
of glaciers never before visited.
'I with Savage and one porter as
cended ono of the three highest Nun
Kun peaks survey measurement,
23,260 feet and thus can for a mo
ment claim the world record with
men until some one goes higher. Dr.
Workman went to 22,650 feet. We
camped higher than any one has yet
camped, highest camp being 19,899
feet. 20,632 fet, and Camp America
21.300 feet! All of us conquered two
other virgin snow peaks of 18,743
feet and and 20,163 feet, and four
snow columns from 16,500 to 17,300
feet.
"My idea was to have European
porters carry all camp kit after
coolies gave out, and this they did
successfully from the third camp on,
There was chance for observing the
effects of rarlfled air, and we found
Insomnia our greatest difficulty. No
cne slept more than a few minutes at
a time at our three last camps.
"Our lowest minimum tempera
tuie rt Camp America was 6 de
grees F., and it was bitter In a mum
mery tent. This Is my last trip, I
suppose, but It was glorious and I
hate to leave the Himalayas. We
climbed well above the Duke, did we
not?!' National Geographic Maga

REAL PROinBITION.
People who have thought all these
years that prohibition was In force
In Kansas will be surprised to read
the following from the Kansas City
Star of June 12:
The saloons In Leavenworth are
closed and it can be truthfully said
that for the first time In 18 years
there is no Illegal sale of intoxicating
liquor on a weekday. The saloons
hjive been closed Sundays for two
months.
The saloon departments In grocery
stores on the outskirts of the city are
closed. In tho down town part of the
city curtains are up and front and
rear doors are closed In some saloons,
while In others the curtains are
down and men at work moving out
tar fixtures and clearing the rooms.
The warning of tho sheriff that no
joints will be tolerated appears to
have had Its effect. '
It Is reported that outside brewery
firms, those ousted by the order of
the supreme court, are planning to
put on "Joint" wagons. They are
waiting for the decision of Judge Pol
lock In the Kansas City, West Side
case, and If he decides that liquor
wagons can bf. operated under the
gulHO of interstate commerce they
will be put on here.

SUCCESS.
Success is the end of being, all
right; it is living completely the life
that the organism was meant to live
by the law of Its creation. As there
are many types of organism in this
interesting world, there should be
many different kinds of success.
What the world, in Its big, general
izing way, calls success Is usually mix
ed with accident, and is oftenest fail
ure endorsed by the law of the man
whe has made It. The biggest human
success Is to be completely a man or
a woman, and that Is more difficult
than to be a billionaire or a popular
author.
The farmer may have this year's
profits wloed out by a brief hailstorm
but If he Is a man he Is still a suc
cess, without a dollar and the home
stead mortgaged. But take the noisy
names from the day's papers are
they successes? They are often ter
rible remnants of manhood. The or
dinary citizen, who lives his little life
fully, with a sound body and a tran
quil mind, has them beat to a finish.
Saturday Evening Poet.
STILL A BABE AT 53.
For fifty-two years a mother's love
has cherished and protected George
Reese, clothed intellectually and
mentally as a babe of 13 months,
while nature endowed him physically
as a man long past the prime of life.
For mora than half n century this
babe-man has lived his life almost at
the starting point tn tho history of a
human being and now. that the moth
er Is almost nearlng the century
mark' and is no longer able to give
him proper care, he Is to be sent to
the Insane asylum at Stetlacoom,
where he will probably end the exist
ence which was withered by blight a!
most in its Inception.
When 13 months old Ceorge Reese
suffered an accident which perma
nently arrested the development of
his mental powers. The only words
he had learned to speak were "papa1
and "mama." Today, almost 54
years of age, the only two words In
his vocabulary are "papa" and "ma
ma." Seattle News.
"NATURE FAKING."
Nature faking, grand and petty, has
according to the Washington (D. C.)
Herald, been going on for thousands
of years.
The Herald says: Santa Claue and
his reindeers and the Enster rabbits
and roosters Illustrate one phase of
It. Around the story of Jonah and
the whale a violent warfare has raged
for years. When Du Challlu first told
the story of the monstrous gorilla, it
was denounced as a fake and yet It
proved to be true.
The great trouble Is to know Just
where to draw the line between fak
ing pure and simple and things that
seem not to be true, but may be,
nevertheless. There Is no harm In
the Santa Clnus or the Easter egg
stories. The Jonah tale may or may

FIRM.
Pendleton, Ore., June 17, 1907.
To the Farmers of Umatilla County
Our attention has been called to
circular letters sent out by Schmelsted
Manufacturing company, of Davlsvllle,
Cal., to our customers and other
farmers of this county, claiming that
we have no right to sell the Pendleton
Hitch, patented by Wentgen. This we
feel to be a great injustice not only to
our many customers who are using the
equalizer made by us, but It Is an un
just and dishonest method of business,
These letters, If left unanswered,
may create dissatisfaction which will
cause injury to us that may, if neces
sary require the aid. of the courts to
remedy. We propose to defend our
right and the right of our customers
and are as able to meet our unfair and
unreliable competitor as he Is to meet
us.
He has no patent. He has n rights
that we are bound to recognize. We
have the right and privilege through
purchase, to the patent, No. 294,(081
on which we make the Pendleton
Hitch. We bought it from Joe Wint
gen, the patentee, of Seattle, and have
the papers to show for It. Though the
Schmetser Manufacturing company
may threaten our patrons with dam
ages of "$250" each, we hereby pledge
ourselves to stand between anw one
or all of our ouatomers and any dam
age they may suffer from the Schmel
