AFFIRMATION.
I have within me a great area
of mind that Is under my com
mand and subject to my mas
tery. This mind Is friendly to
ward me and is glad to do my
bidding and to obey my orders.
It will work for me when I
ask it and is constant, untiring
and faithful. Knowing this I
am no longer afraid, ignorant
or uninformed. I am master of
mind, body, consciousness and
sub-consciousness. I am Spirit,
a fragment from the divine
flame. Yogi Philosophy.
WASTE OK POWER.
Enough electrical power is wasted
every day by the idle flow of the
Umatilla river to light every home
and turn every wheel In Umatilla
county, if this immense power were
conserved and utilized.
This power could be generated
without diminishing or retarding the
stream an iota. Every inch of water
now used for irrigation and water
power would still be available. The
only change in conditions of the river
would be that it would be diverted
V turn the wheels of electric motors,
to flow back into its original channel
urdlmlnished, unchanged, unpolluted.
The gigantic forces of mountain
streams and the necessity of saving
the forests to protect these streams is
graphically Illustrated in an article in
the April Review of Reviews by
Thomas E. Will. He says in part, on
this subject:
Water power in the south is a
mighty economic factor. Its utility
has been greatly increased by the per
fection of agencies for transmitting
electricity. Most southern railroads
are built oa ridges. Mills, located be
side these railways, may now be driven
by electric power generated from
waterfalls on remote streams. In
consequence, electricity has become
"the power behind the south."
Under present conditions the
sireams of the southern Appalachians
afford a minimum of 2,740,000 horse
power. This may be Increased from
three to 30 times by development of
the storage facilities of streams. Of
the minimum power at least 50 per
cent Is available for economic devel
opment. The rental of 1,350,000 horse-power
per annum is worth 27,'000,000, at
$20 per horse-power. Adding to this
the possible revenue of the remaining
CO per cent of power for but half the
year gives a total rental value of
$38,000,000. "f
For the utilization of this power
the forest, as a balance-wheel to
stream-flow, is absolutely indispensa
ble. No system of reservoirs, how
eer expensive, can more than sup
plement the forest. In no way can It
supply the forest's place.
Said United States Hydrographer
Lelghton to the agricultural commit
tee: "The reservoirs will not be worth
a minute's time, or a cent of money,
unless the forests are retained." In
both New England and the south for
est-cutting has already seriously Im
paired the usefulness of water-power.
Dams are filling In; to such an ex
U nt in one case reported, as to de
crease the power from 5 to 10 per
cent, and In another from 15 to 20
per cent. Electric power, once suf
ficient, now has to be supplemented
by steam.
MR. GEERS FITNESS.
Mr Geer haa been challenged re
peatedly to give a good reason why
he should be elected to succeed Judge
W. R. Ellis In congress from this
district. So far he haa failed to give
a reason In his own support.
Within the past few weeks the East
Oregonian haa come Into poaaeaalon
of facta concerning Mr. Oeer Wt '
It did not know before and which are
of sufficient weight and importance
to change Its uttitude toward hint.
Had the East Oregonian known the
Inside facts concerning the deal which
Mr. deer Is alleged to have made with
II. u. Plummer of Polk county for the
sale of the office of superintendent of
the Oregon penitentiary to Mr. Plum
mer for the sum of $1000. this paper
would never have indorsed Mr. Cieer
for the United States senate or any
other office.
If he made that ileal, as would np
pMf from affidavits, he Is absolutely
unfit to hold any office In the gift
of the people and should be relegate!
to the oblivion of politics to which
that act should condemn him.
If Mr. Gear would bargain and sell
the pad image of the governor's of
fice would he not deal In a like man
ner with the office of representative
In congress? In fact, could the people
of Oregon think of electing to any"
high office a man against whom this
accusation stall stands unchallenged?
The affidavit of the deputy sheriff
who heard the deal made between
c.overnor Oeer and Sheriff Plummer
li published without comment, that
the people of the second congressional
district may Judge for themselves.
WOMEN'S WORK.
In the pamphlet sent out by the
state of Oregon to all voters this
spring are arguments for and against
the various Initiative measures pro
posed. In this book the women of
Oregon have made a most eloquent
and Just appeal for the right to vote
and' If Oregon respects Its mothers
tnd wives, that right will be confer
red at the June election.
Woman's work in the state Is han
dicapped by the denial of the right
of suffrage. They are active factors
In every sphere and yet when It comes
to the vital test they stand with hands
tied and eyes blinded in the political
arena.
As teachers, as charity workers, a.
Juvenile workers, as directors of
health and sanitary departments of
the cities, as managers of large bus
iness enterprises and as taxpayers,
they are efficient and ever ready with
their hands and brains to assist In
bettering human conditions but as a
voter, man selfishly arrogates all the
power to himself.
Ask your own manhood If it Is Just.
Talk with yourself about It.
LET US START THE MILL.
Pendleton woolen mill has been
idle long enough. Somebody should
start that excellent Institution. There
Is good profit In It. It Is in the heart
of the wool country. There is a mar
ket for Its product. The old stock
which was manufactured before the
shut-down is now exhausted. Ther-
a sharp demand for new stock.
Labor, wool, fuel and capital can
be secured now In abundant quanti
ties and It seems a shame to keep the
mill standing still with all these fa
vorable conditions beckoning the
wheels to start.
The capacity of the five looms
would be about 40 robes per day.
These robes are worth about $7 each.
retail, making a return of $280 per
day to this city. About $40 per day
would be paid out In salaries. This
would return directly Into the chan
nels of trade. The mill would con
sume thousands of pounds of choice
wool. This would be bought at an
advance over the regular wool prices
in this county.
Everything seems favorable for the
opening of the mill.
The University of California re
ci.ives an annual appropriation from
the state amounting to $558,000;
Washington university receives $200,
000 per year; Colorado university,
$145,000; Montana, $75,000 and even
the sparsely settled state of Nevada
appropriates $86,000 per year for th
support of her university. Shall Ore
gon, which Is the peer of any of these
western states, refuse to appropriate
the small comparative sum of $125,
000 for her university? The East Or
egonian hopes to see the university
appropriation carry by the biggest
majority enjoyed by any measure on
the official ballot this year. Let us
make It good and strong and demon
strate Oregon's pride In her educa
tional facilities.

STATEMENT NO. 1
TICKET INVINCIBLE.
The Salem Journal says of the suc
cess of the statement No. 1 ticket In
Marlon county: '
It Is very doubtful if men o any
party can be found to run against
statement No. 1 ticket If a Is ratified
at the primary election on April 17.
This Is not because democrats want
to help republicans but becuusi- there
Uj I vast majority of people of both
parlies who tvant to take the selection
of United States senators entirely out
of the hands of the legislature.
But there Is a greater principle In
volved within the republican party
ItMlt
It Is a well known fact that the so-
i ailed leaders In the party at Portland I
md over the state deliberately started
out to make the legislative tickets
themselves in old-fashioned conven-I
lions.
That was the plan In Marlon coun
ty, and It did not fall for lack Inlen- !
tlon on the part of the machine lead- !
ers.
It failed because there was too I
much sentiment among the rank and
tile against the proposition.
On a show-down In a convention I
called by the machine leaders, and
COmpOMd of delegates largely of their I
own selection, three out of four re
publicans in Marion county were op- I
posed to a return to the old methods
Of making up a legislative ticket.
The number who believe in return
ing to the-old convention ways Is very
mull and growing smaller.
The bloody scenes enacted In the
republican' and democratic conven
tions held this year In Illinois, Ten- j
nessee. Indiana, Kentucky and other i
states brand the convention system as
having outlived Its usefulness.
The statement No. 1 ticket for the
legislature in this county has been put
up In spite of the threat of the lead
ers to knife sucrKa ticket.
Till: CHURCH QUESTION HOX.
At the White Temple In Portland,
the church of Hev. Brougher. the
question is asked every Sunday even
ing. If there are nny people who can
be helped In nny way. If any want
jobs. Or need money, or clothes, or
anything on earth. Strange requests
are often made.
One woman wanted to know If the
septic tank she was having built was
all right. A member of the church
who whs posted was detailed)-to com
ply with her want.
A few days ago. two women applied
for positions as domestics. They were
furnished with places In 15 minute?,
and th assistant pastor secured the
photographs of each. He wanted to
keep the photographs, because they
were the first to apply for such
places.
MISSOURI "BURGUNDY."
Some years ago Colonel Wells H.
Blodgett was dining with a friend in
London, and during the course of the
dinner Burgundy wine was served. It
was excellent. Colonel Blodgett sip
ped the red wine with the air of a
connoisseur. "This Is splendid Bur
gundy," he said, "where do you get
It?"
"I get my wine from Hermann, a
town in Missouri, I'nited States of
America," the host replied. Colonel i
Blodgett was dumbfounded. He lived
in St. Louis, within SO miles of Her
mann, but he was one of many who
did not know that down in Oasconadt
of the finest wines In the
county some
world are made.
PUBLir OWNERSHIP PATS,
Consul H. D. Van Sant of Kings
ton, states that In the nnnual state
ment of the waterworks committee of
Ouelph. Ontario, where municipal
ownership largely prevails, It was
shown that the city cleared $20,000
on this branch of civic utility. The
city Is also growing, there being near
ly $1,000,000 Increase In the city as
sessment and an increase of 600 is
recorded in the population, which i
now stands at 1 3.700. Ouelph's street
car line and gas utilities also pay
and the city Is said to be one of the
most prosperous of Canadian Inland
towns.
MORTALITY AMONG SKNATORS.

senators. The list of those who have
died Includes Edmund W. Pettus,

FREEDOM'S SONG.
When freedom rent the veil of night.
And gave our land Its holy light,
She sent an angel bearer down
With heaven's stars our flag to crown.
And thus our banner waves on high,
r.od's emblem of the azure sky!
To Hm a9 gulU: our Hag's unfurled,
A thousand years to light the worfif.
And while free soil's beneath our feet,
In war or wisilom none compete;
Great God. our Buler nnd our Kin.
To Thee we pray, to Thee we sing.
Rear up our flag with mighty wfrtg
And grant this nation to Thee cllngf
Until our flag In freedom's plight
Is emblem of eternal right.
TMl flOnOVf banner of the free,
Th'u honored flag of liberty,
Co furl thy colors at their height.
And give all nations of Thy Light.
