Have you something of moment
planned.
Of work, or barter, or sale?
And do you now like a craven
stand
Deterred by the fear you'll fall?
Then may this message of mine
ring clear, '
And prompt you your wings
to test:
The only failure a man should
feur
Is failure to do his best!

SUNDAY CLOSING LAWS.
The East Oregonlan has always
leen at a loss to know why towns
and cities pass Sunday closing ordi
nances In Oregon, when there Is a
good state law on that subject. These
ordinances are always identical with
the state law and If they were not,
would not be effective. So why Is It
necessary to multiply the same law
and shift the burden of enforcing It
from the state to the already heavily
burdened cities?
Towns and cities have their local
burdens to bear and their individual
expenses to meet. They must keep
up their streets, water works, sewers,
levees, fire protection and other mu
nicipal departments. They are heavi
ly taxed for schools, churches and
other Institutions and why should the
expense of enforcing the gambling
and Sunday closing laws be added to
the burden when the state of Oregon
has already provided well for their
enforcement uniformly throughout
the state by district attorneys, at state
expense?
What Is the use of having district
judges and district attorneys if not
to' enforce the state laws, and what la
the use of excusing district officers
from their duties and adding their
duties and the expense of their offices
to the heavy burdens of the city
government?
What are district officers and state
laws for if not for uniformity through
cut the state? Why pay district at
torneys $3000 per year to enforce the
laws and then shift a large part of
their duties to the city attorney and
pile up expenses on city governments?
It seems folly to repeat a state law
In a city ordinance. If the state of
ficers do not enforce the state law
why not the city councils call upon
them to do so Instead of passing a
superfluous city ordinance, an exact
copy of the state law, and making
taxpayers of cities bear burdens dls
tributed by state law upon the people
of the Judicial districts?
It is not a square deal nor a fair
shake. Laws are made to be en
forced. State laws are made to se
cure uniformity of good conduct
throughout the state and because
Athena, Adams or Pendleton do not
see fit to pass a city ordinance In
keeping with a state law, does not ex
cuse state officers for not enforcing
a law. Let us quit dodging and get
down to business.
Pendleton has nothing to say, tech
nically, upon the Sunday closing
question. There Is a wide, plain state
law upon the subject and all the city
ordinances that might be passed In
a year would not change or add to
the state law. The state law was
passed for the purpose of securing
, order aad improving public morals In
every town and city In the state alike
and no town has a right to legislate
on the subject, from a logical stand
point. The question Is out of their
hands.
Adams, Heppnor, Echo, Freewater,
Pendleton every town and city In
this Judicial district should have law
enforcement from state officers, for
the state law applies directly to them
and there Is no need for city ordi
nances to supplement a good state
law.
If the state did not consider Sun
day closing and gambling subjects for
state control there would be no state
law upon the subjects and thnn cities
might pass regulating ordinances. But
cities have enough to attend to with
out taking up the work of paid Btate
officers.
This subject of Sunday cloning Is a
big subject, one which concerns states
as political bodies. It is one of the
moral questions which enter Into
standards of citizenship of states and
it Is not for Adams or Helix to say
what they Intend to do upon the sub
ject. It Is for the people of Oregon,
s a state, to say what shall bo done,
nd the state-paid officers should see
that the will of the whole people la
enforced, regardless of local likes or
dislikes.
Suppose Pilot Rock, for Illustration,
was populated by a class of people
nhsoluoely opposed to all form of
Sunday observance and in fnvor of a
"wide open" town. If there were no
state law they could keep a "wide
open" town and disorder and inde
cency would be rampant. The lawless
would be a law unto themselves. The
state standard would be disregarded
and Hint Rock, although in the decent
and orderly state of Oregon, would be
a disgrace to the worst country In the
world.
But to prevent Just such emergen
cies and to preserve a good state
standard of morals and decency, re
gardless of the likes of a few lawless
men who may congregate together,
state laws have been made and should
be enforced uniformly, but firmly
throughout the state everywhere
alike.
Although Portland has 200 police
men and elaborate police court ma
chinery. District Attorney John Man
ning by a single word, closed up the
saloons of Portland on Sunday. It Is
no fearful thing to do. There Is a
plain state law giving him authority
and the splendid citizenship of Ore
gon is back of that state law, so what
better support need a man ask? In
fact, what right has a state official
to ask any question about it?
The law Is there and it says plainly
who shall enforce It.
And the decent people of Oregon
should see that no official who fear
lessly enforces the law Is punished by
the lawless for doing his duty. That
element should be eliminated from
the question entirely.
AGAINST FRATERNITIES.
The National Educational assochv
tlon In closing Its session at Los An'
geles. passed a resolution strongly op
posing the fraternities, sororities and
ether secret societies In public
schools.
This is a most opportune resolution
and will meet with hearty approval
among the masses of the people. The
public schools are maintained at pub
He expense. The taxpayers of coun
ties and cities go down in their pock
cts regularly to support these schools
and every child has a right to the
best treatment, the most unquestion,
ed freedom and the best possible In
structlon and secret societies In which
little cliques are organized to dls
rupt and hinder school work should
not be allowed.
In colleges where students pay thel
own way they have a right to any
luxury of this kind they may desire
and may build up class caste and class
hatred, but In the great public schools
of the country no such demoralizing
tendencies should find place.
Every school board In Oregon
should see that the fraternities are
abo"Hhed and that nothing stands In
the way of the fullest efficiency of
our excellent schools:
The fraternities can do no good In
school work. They are simply dis
tracting elements. They build up
favoritism. They encourage class dis
tinctions. They destroy that free and
fair spirit which should make every
humble student feel at home In tho
public school, and worst of all, they
give a few leading spirits among class
fraternities a dictatorial power In the
management of schools and In the dis
tribution of school honors.
The fraternities must go from the
public schools. They can thrive where
students pay their own expenses, but
not where the public foots the bill.
THE TIME TO FIGHT.
Secretary of the Interior James R.
Garfield in a brief political address at
Seattle said something which concerns
every thinking citizen.
In referring to the stay-at-home
voter who has perhaps become dis
gusted at party management, ho said
that the time for the right thinking
citizen to fight hardest Is when party
management and party politics are
corrupt. Don't get disgusted and stay
away. Your services are needed then
to purify and rescue the besmirched
Ideals.
The stay-at-home vote Is usually a
clean vote, and the reason so many
unfit men are In office Is because de
cent people stay at home when they
should be In the thickest of the fight,
striving to keep government clean.
The fate of every state nnd national
government Is In the keeping of the
faithful, honest citizen who cannot be
corrupted and who will prevent cor
ruption In others. So don't be dis
gusted. Stay In the fight.
The city of Atchison, Kan., has es- '
tahllshed a "House of Public Com-
fort," which Is a more esthctlcal name
for a rest room. It is a part of the
city hall and Is maintained Just as
any other department. The janitor
looks after it, the police see thut It Is
kept orderly and the public goes there
to lounge and rest and enjoy Itself.
This Is a capital Idea for Pendleton,
Just as she is starting to build a city
hall. There will be plenty of room
for such a department In the now
building and It should be considered.
STRUCK' BLIND OX TIGHT ROPE.
Crossing a 600-foot chasm on a
three-elghths-lnch wire 682 feet above
th grouiu'f at Roulder, Col., Ivy
Ii. ti.lv, hi suddenly became temporar
ily blind trom the strain on his nerves,
tottered and almost fell. While the
hundreds of spectators expected to
ee him fall to Instant death, he re
covered himself, and, guided by the
encoui aging cries of his assistants at
the end of the wire, he finished the
perilous journey In safety.
Baldwin's walk was the highest
over made on a tight rope. He walked
u cross the entrance to South Roulder
canon at Elodrado Springs. It took
him just six minutes and a half to
accomplish the Journey. He had no
net or apparatus under him to avert
fall, which would have meant death
before he touched the ground.
Twice while crossing Baldwin
stopped. Sudden puffs of wind sway
ed tht, rope and he was compelled to
halt to reraln his balance. Several
assistants stood at the end of the
vile and encouraged him by their
cries.
Baidwln used ordinary cloth shoes
with rosin soles. The wire was held
taut oy 32 guy ropes, and he bal
anced himself with a 21 foot pole
vclghiiig 10 pounds, on each end of
which was a one-pound brass nob.
One thousand five hundred people
witnessed the feat, nil of which ex
eept the last part appeared to be
executed with remarkable ease.
rfter descending from the cliff at
the end of the rnpo Baldwin lighted
a cigarette, afterward plunging Into
the pool without the slightest appear
ance of nervousness. This is not his
only remarkable performance, as In
1S85 he walked nearly 600 feet at a
60-foci height from the Cliff House
to the Seal rocks at San Francisco.
rilRONIC MOl'RNERS.
A righteous campaign inaugurated
for the purpose of riding their re
spective communities of a most unde
sirable' class of thoughtless and over-
sympathetic people, commonly known
ns "the chronic mourner," is the
latest Idea advanced by the under
takers of the west and one which will
undoubtedly receive due attention at
the next annual convention of the
State Undertakers' association to be
held at Tacoma In the near future.
"Chronic mourners," said a local
undertaker recently, "are a grave
hindrance to a fuperal director, and
in fact they are becoming a menace
to the public at large. Even in Wal
la Walla I note that the germ of fn
qulsltivenes is spreading with
startling rapidity, with the net result
that from six to a dozen chronics sel
dom, If ever, fall to be present at a
funeral. They are of the class known
to us as 'Incurables.'
"I do net believe, however, that the
majority of people who attend fu
neral services fully comprehend the
Inconvtnlence they cause to the im
meriiatt friend and relatives of the
deceased. Often I find persons at
tending who really believe that, by
doing so, they render a great service,
ard would undoubtedly be grieved
and shocked were they to be Inform
ed of tho true situation." Walla

RICH .M EX WITHOUT MONEY.
There are seme characters who
carry their wealth with them, who
are rich without money. . They do
not need palatial homesor a large
bark m et unt. They do not need to
buy admission to society everybody
loves them. They are welcome every
where because they have that which
money can not buy a genial, help
ful, tunny, cheerful disposition.
Of course, everybody wants them,
because it is a Joy to be with them.
Everybody loves the sunshine and
hates the shadows and the gloom.
Thnro is no bank account that can
balance a sweet, gracious personal
ity: no material wealth can match
a sunny heart, an ability to radiate
helpfulness and sweetness.
Put such graces and charms never
live with selfishness or self-seeking.
It Is the people who hove something
to give, not who are trying to get
something, that are wanted every
where. O. S. Marden.

MOTHER LOVE.
Take the glory of the conquest and
the grandeur of the morn,
Tho splendor of the triumphs out of
toll and patience born,
The beauty of the cities and the ar
mies of the Just
Moving down the golden valleys to
the victories of the dust
But the mother love that wraps
arour.d a wayward child Its wings
Is sweeter than all triumph and is
stronger thun ill kings'
The mother love Is patience bearing
all the years of care,
With faith to tuke tho burden up
and strength to lift and bear;
The mother love Is warder of the rosy
gates of life.
With kl.ss goodby to little ones who
go to face the strife,
And arms of old endurance waiting
there to clasp and greet
The loved who wander back again,
the lost with weary feet'
t
The mother love is gentleness that
mellows through the years,
With lips to kits the brow that
uches and song to stay the tears;
The mother love is tireless in the
vigil thut it keeps
To guard the jouch from danger
whero the bloom of lovehood
sleeps!
Oh, wuyward, weak and weary, and
ye who walk In sin,
Be sure the heart of mother love will
ope and let you In!

THE TltEASITtF. TRAIL.
The bright torch of the sinking sun
Lights a gold-path across the sea,
Could I but track it o Its end
What treasures would not flash
for me?
To low keys where old picaroons,
Their plunder-chests sunk In the
sand,
The flaring lamp might guide
sails
And light me as I delved
my
the
rt rand.
The wide ndventures of my dreams
Might come to pass, could I but be
The skipper of a bark and know
No masters save the sun and sea!
Tet from the sunset trail I turn
Its lure would lead me blind and
old;
And, by the light In my love's eyes,
I seek what treasure a heart may
hold!

"Peruna baa made me a well and
