The music of the mornings Is the
laughter tha't I hear
Upon the stairs when Child
heart comes with pitter
patter clear,
The ringing, swinging music of
his lips of song and light,
When love has led him dream
ing down the bloomy hills
of night;
Oh, morning, morning, morning,
on the ripples with their
gle&m,
And on the Hps of Childheart
murmuring music out of
dream.

A PRINCIPI.K AT STAKE.
The Portland Oregonlan says that
the struggle between Fulton and Cake
for the senatorial toga is useless; that
It is a futile fight among republicans.
To republicans who have a princi
ple and political creed the struggle is
not useless. To republicans who do
not recognize the infallability of the
boss the struggle Is not useless. To
rei ubllcans who have minds of their
own the struggle is supremely import
ant. There Is a principle at stake In the
contest between Fulton and Cake
which involves the future of the re
publican party In Oregon. There Is a
ftrong and progressive elment in the
publican party In this state which be
lieves Jn popular government. In the
people's rule. In progress. In political
purity, independnce and vigorous party
health.
This elethent demands the right to
select their United States senators and
for this element H. M. Cake stands In
his advocacy of the people's choice.
Another element dominated by the
old machine would hold the power In
the hands of a half dozen men, throw
the senatorial election into the legis
lature again and put the toga up for
sale to the highest bidder.
The principle at stake in the sena
torial contest is national in Its scope
ard it would be shameful for Oregon
to repudiate the popular election of
senators after having put her hand to
the plow as she has done.
What will the nation say of the re
publican party of Oregon If it retro
grades this year? Will not thoughtful
penpie everywhere say that the bosses
are in control again and Oregon has
gone back to her flesh pots?
Let us sustain the high principle
thlch we have emblazoned upon the
banner of Oregon. Let us elect the
people's choice. Let us go forward.
Let u not disappoint the admiring
states which are waiting to hear from
Oregon.
HE CAREFUL IX VOTING.
The people of Oregon are proud of
their initiative and referendum law.
and should see that they make no mis
takes in exercising the functions of
lawmakers. To prevent making mis
takes, the voters should carefully con
sider the 19 proposed laws which will
bt upon the official ballotB for their
consideration at the coming state elec
tion. The booklet containing the 19 laws
and arguments have been sent out,
100.000 of them. They are intended
to enlighten the voters and the state
has paid out an enormous sum to have
Uiem printed and distributed, a work
whic h th- newspapers could have done
for at least one-half the cost to the
taxpayra.
If you an- riot sure of the meaning
f a law on the. ballot, It Is safer to
rot ".'jo." Then you will not be
guilty of naddllng some special, local
act uw" the tat: which might creep
Into for tinder the Initiative.
However, there are a number of
meritorious measures on the ballot
this year and the voters are urged to
consider them carefully. They de
serve to be passed. They should have
been enacted Into law long ago.
On the official ballot No. 306 ami
307 Is a law to change the date of
stale elections In Oregon from the
present date on the first Monday In
June,- to the first Tuesday after the
firsi Monday In November to corres
pond with the presidential election.
This change would save the state of
Oregon an enormous sum In election
I expenses and should be piWld.
Xos. 312 and 313 is to appropriate
money for armories In Oregon and
should be passed.
Xos. 314 and 315 will be the uni
versity appropriation bill and should
be passed by nil means for the honor
of Oregon.
Xos. 316 ana 317 Is the woman suf
frage amendment, giving the mothers,
wives, daughters and sisters of Oregon
voters a voice In the state government
and should pass by an overwhelming
vote.
Xos. 320 and 321 on the official bal
lot Is an especially obnoxious measure
proposed by certain Immoral elements
In the state to take away the charter
making power from the people of cities
and towns and place this power again
in the hands of the legislature. This
is an especially vicious law and must
be voted down. Vote "no" in big let
tc rs on this number.
Xos. 322 and 323 is the tax reform
measure and removes taxation from
all Implements, livestock, furniture,
manufacturing plants, tools, machin
ery, and other movable property and
places it largely upon land. This
measure must be thoughtfully studied
as It revolutionizes the system of as
stssmcnt and taxation In Oregon.
Xos. 324 and 325 Is the recall meas
ure by which voters and taxpayers
may recall a dishonest official1 from
otflce nnd should be passed by all
means.
Xos. 326 and 327 enacts statement
Xo. 1 and the popular election of Unit
ed States senators Into law. Vote
"yes" and urge every friend of popu
lar government to do so.
Xos 32S and 329 is the proportional
representation bill by which each
p: rty Would have a proportion of the
legislators according to their total
vote In the state. It should be passed.
Xos. J30 and 331 is the Huntley
corrupt practice bill and would pre
vent corruption In elections and should
be a law.
Xo. 334 and 335 provides that a
criminal shall not be indicted by the
district attbrll ay nnl that only a grand
jury should have this authority, ex
cept that a district attorney should
be allowed to file an amended indict
ment where a mistake had been made
In the original.
This measure Is worthy of the most
earnest consideration of the voters, as
it involves a principle of law and
justice which Is fundamental in gov
ernment. Think of it before voting.
Let us preserve the Integrity of the
initiative and referendum by voting
right and Intelligently on every meas
ure proposed. It Is the citizen's duty
to study government and this Is the
most effective method of inducing
study. Read your little book through
several times If necessary to an Intel
livent vote on any law printed in It.
SUPPORT THi: MARKET DAYS.
The success of the market days held
ii. this city has been due to the hearty
support which these events have been
given by stockmen and farmers and
the results have been highly satisfac
tory. The markets must be continued
and supported and kept up to the
present high standard.
The benefits of the public sales are
not all confined to the actual sales,
but It la an educational matter which
t rings people together from different
parts of the country and builds up a
good market for stock outside of the
sales.
Many excellent horse sales were
made In this city outside of the pub
lic sales, but the public sale wa direct.
ly responsible. It brought the people
to the city and In this way the buyer
and the seller met and made bargains
which would perhaps never have been
made had not the public sale brought
tl em here.
So let us support the sales days. Lot
na encourage them and patronize them
and urge farmers and stockmen to at
tend. Let them know that they can
not afford to stay away.
Spring In Umatilla county is a
maiden holding a harp In her hands.
Listlessly she sweeps her fingers over
the strings and all the tones of the In
strument mingle in one melodious
echo. Spring touches her magic harp
and all kinds of weather from all the
zones on the globe sweep over Uma
tilla county in that hour. Xo mythi
cal maiden Is more whimsical nor
more sweet than spring In Umatilla.
Circling about the western slope of
the Blue mountains In Umatilla coun
ty Is a rich foothill section 30 miles
in length by six to eight mllea wide,
with Pilot Rock In the center, which
will some day be the apple orchard of
the inland empire. That rich soil
needs no irrigation; it requires but
little cultivation; It Is free from frost;
it Is favorably located for transporta
tion and the East Oregonlan hopes to
see It set out In a solid apple orchard
within a few years. The land cun now
be purchased for one-fourth of the
cost of Hood River or Medford apple
land and it is just us productive.
THE BONG OF TH WIND.
Th
wind that sings ii
the chimney
flue,
What does It say to nu and you?
Kleh Is Its haunting minor key
Mooning for things that can never be,
Or things that are lost to the day and
sun,
Back In some black oblivion.
It moves on wings from the misty
past,
Over its gloom nre shadows east.
It whistles a dirge for ancient days
Solemnly sad are the tunes It plays.
Its volume rises nnd falls. It fills
The heart with tremors and doubts
nnd thrills.
It roams the breadth of the sea and
earth,
But It never harbors a note of mirth.
O. gray old harper, In wondrous ways,
Your requiem tells of the yesterdays
But who that lives can the tale trans
late. Or quote the presage of Life and
Fate?
But sing away in the chimney flue,
Of things that are old and things'
that are new
Till sorrow and suffering seem sub
lime To the very ends-of the sands of
Time!

A MEETING.
We met by chance, and as we met
She clasped me in a warm embrace;
I seem to feel her clinging yet,
With one soft cheek against my
face.
She did not know my name, while I
Ere then had never viewed her
charms;
And yet she breathed a grateful sigh
As round her waist I flung my
arms.
The girl had not mistaken me
For any member of her set.
Kor did she care who I might lie
'Twas nt the skating rink are met.

ENEMIES OF NEWSPAPERS,
The most notorious oppon'ent of
the "metropolitan press" has been ex
Governor Penpypacker of Pennsyl
vania. Last Friday four men who had
worked under the supervision of the
Pennypacker administration, or had
been directly connected with it, were
convicted of defrauding the state In
furnishing the new capltol at Harris
burg. Between these two facts there is
immediate connection. Their relation
Is of Immense pertinence to condi
tions In every American city and com
monwealth. There never was a grafter or a pol
itician associated with tho system
under which graft flourishes who did
not fear the hate and denounce a
fearless, honest press. There never
has been a plundering public service
or a mercernary hireling of such a
corporation who did not recognize in
an independent, uncontrollable news
paper like the Kansas City Star an
Inevitable, uncompromising enemy.

The next day, half way down the

"It Is rumored that a card party
was given last evening to a number
of reputed ladles of the First Ward.
Mrs. Smith, gossip says, was the
hostess, and the festivities are re
ported to have continued until 11:30

OLD SORES
BY IMPURITIES IN THE BLOOD
If Old Sores were due to outside influences, or if the cause was confined
strictly to the diseased fltsh around the ulcer, then external treatment and
simple elcuUiatM would cure them. But the trouble is in the blood, which
has become unhealthy and diseased, and keeps the sore open by continually
discharging into it the impurities and poisons with which the circulation is
filled. This poisonous condition of the blood may be the remains of some
constitutional trouble ; the effect of a long spell of sickness, or because the
natural refuse of the body, which should pass off through the proper avenues,
has been left in the system and absorbed into the blood. Again, the cause
may be hereditary ; but it does not mutter how the poison becomes intrenched
in the blood, the fact that the sore will not heal is evidence of a deep underly
ing cause. Salves, washes, lotions, etc., may cause the place to scab over

ICKMODKI. ORKGOX COURT.
One measure before the people this
year that requires special "attention
is that which has for its principal
purpose the Increase of the supreme
judges of the state from three to
five. This Is a measure amending
the constitution of Oregon and Is
more far reaching than Is generally
supposed. It remodels the judicial
power of the state and effects the
different courts from the county
court up.
H provides for the transfer of all
probate proceedings from the coun
ty court to the circuit court as soon
as the matter can be arranged
through the legislature, the abolish
ment of a new county board to handle
the county business.
The above provisions are made a
pari f the proposed amendment In
order that the probate matter will
ultimately come In to the hands of
the circuit Judge who Is a lawyer and
Is thus perfectly competent to han
dle this part of the practice.
It may lead to circuit Judges being
elected In each county. If the new law
should be passed, while tho county
court would be abolished, und a body
more In the nature of a commission

of financial crisis that was especially
severe Field could see no way out of
his difficulties except to ask for a
raise In salary.
Several days In succession he went
to the office resolved to ask for the
raise, but each time failed to nerve
himself up to the speaking point, and
for a week was not seen In tho office
at all.
Then one day he walked Into Mr.
Stone's office, followed by four of
his little children, the five of them
presenting a pitiable appearance,
field and his children were dressed
In rag from heud to foot, the chil
dren's toes were sticking out bare
through holes In their shoes, their
faces were dirty and their eyes looked
as If they had been crying.
The five stood In front of Mr.

looking at him with appealing
glance. All this, of course, had been
carefully rehearsed by Field during
his week of absence, nnd tho result
was all that could be ieslrd. Final
