I will use these channels and thereby ac quire the knowledge and In formation necessary for my mental development. I will ex ercise and develop my organs of sense, knowing that In so doing I shall cause to unfold the higher senses, of which they are but forerunners and nym bols. I will be wide-awake and open t the Inflow of knowledge and information. The Universe is my home I will explore It.

MR. GEER'S RECORD. VICTORY IN SIGHT. With 66 republican candidates for the legislature pledged to statement No. 1 and only 75 members to elect, u looks very much like a victory for the statement No. 1 forces at the pri maries this month. Forty-six members will be a ma Jiirlty of the legislature and It Is cer tain that this number can be elected from those now pledged to the peo ple's choice and including some of the anpledged o will vote for the peo ple's choice also. This is a remarkable showing, in view of the fact that the anti-forces have thoroughly organized, active and progressive. It is a remarkable showing in the face of the powerful opposition of the Portland Oregon ian and the Portland machine. The people have cause to be proud that even this largo number of state ment No. l republican candidates have been nominated, even though not o'ne of that number is elected. Let the voters take part In the pri maries. Let every man remember his citizenship and go to the polls both In fhe primary and the general election. The people will be triumphant. The fight has opened auspiciously. The Biffin Recorder voices the sen timent of a large proportion of the voters of this congressional district when It gives the following excellent and unanswerable reasons why T. T. (leer SHOl LP . NO P he elected to congress. The ItSCOruSr says: The race for congrens from the steond district of Oregon to all ap pearances is between Ellis and T. T. titer, Oregon's ex-governor. The democrats have no hopes of lectlng a man to that position and the result will be settled in the pri mary election. There Is a great deal of room for elections between Ellis and Oeer and if the best interests of the district are U oked after Ellis will be elected by a good majority, as he Is the logical man for the place. He has been a member of congress for several years, and so far as cleanliness Is concerned he- Is beyond reproach, both as a man and as an official. During his tenure In that office he has gained a prestige In Washington that counts for a great deal and his influence will be much greater than can be commanded by a new man. This alone should elect Ellis. BUT, ANOTHER AND GREATER REASON WHY HE SHOULD SUC CEED HIMSELF, IS THE FACT THAT OEER HAS BEEN A RESI DENT OF THIS DISTRICT ONLY A SHORT TIME, AND TO THE AVER AGE OBSERVER IT SEEMS HE SHOOK THE DI'ST OF THE FIRST DISTRICT AND LOCATED IN PEN DLETON FOR THE SOLE REASON OF RUNNING FOR OFFICE. THERE ARE PLENTY OF MEN LIVING IN THIS DISTRICT WHO HAVE SPENT THE BETTER PART OF THEIR LIVES, TOILING TO MAKE IT ONE OF THE MOST FA VORED SPOTS IN THE, NORTH WEST, AND IF THERE BE ANY HONORS TO CONFER IN OFFI CIALDOM. THEY ARE THE ONES ENTITLED TO THEM. IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO PICK UP A MAN FROM ANOHER DISTRICT. PURGING POLITICS. INDEPENDENT K OF THE WEST. Almost unnoticed the last week has brought forth two Incidents which point with especial significance to the dawning national recognition of the fact that the American seat of empire must be found in the Mississippi val ley, says the Kansas City Star. At the City club. Alexander D. Noyes, financial editor of the New York Evening Post, pointed out with clear and concise authority that the October panic has made the nation realize that the west need no longer accept without question the financial supremacy of New York. "The interior communities of this CUB try are the soundest and richest parts of it," declared Mr. Noyes. "Where they were the hopeless debtors of the east in 1893, In 1873 and in 1557, they are the bankers and cred itors of the east today." In other words, the west now has the physical power and the strategic advantage that rome with the actual possession of money. The new attitude of the nation to ward the Industrial greatness of the west has been shown In even more marked fashion. It was In large measure, the demand of the western business men which brought matters al Washington to a crisis last week and turned an Inactive congress into an active one. Big political causes underly the situation, but the deciding straw that broke the back of the lalssez-falre policy may fairly be said to have been the earnest plea of the business In terests of Chicago, St. Louis and Kan eas City. This delegation did not need the intervention of the east to secure adequate presentation of Its case. It spoken dlrecdtly, not only to the presi dent, but to the men who formulate the program for the senate and the house. And It won. From the west Theodore Roosevelt While It is unpleasant and unfortu nate to be compelled to turn out old members of a political party because they have been found guilty of crook ed work in the public service, yet It I; some times absolutely necessary to do so, and It only strengthens the party which has the backbone to do it The finest strength of Theodore Roosevelt today lies In his power to Investigate fearlessly, friends as well as opponents, and in his willingness to turn out a member of his own party if found to be corrupt. Oregon must not hesitate to discard the men who have been trusted and found wanting. There are thousands of others Just as capable, Just as ac tive, just as zealous partisans, if you must have zealous partisans, and the people cannot afford to cling to a man who has been found wanting in moral courage In office. If F. I. Dunbar as secretary of state took fees which belonged to the people. It was breach of trust; If T. T. Gcer as governor acted In a manner unbecoming not only a public offi cial but a private cltlsen, as well, It is the people's duty to turn him down and out fearlessly, permanently; If George C. Hrownell, or C. W. Steele or John Hal lor any other public offi cial, has acted In a manner not In kieping with 'good citizenship and good public service, the people must not hesitate to turn them out. It is suicidal to the Interests of the state to cling to them. The party did not make their rec ords; the party did not give them li cense to commit wrongful acts and the party cannot harbor them nor ex tend to them further honors. The process of purging parties and poli tics is absolutely necessary to good government. Let us look for new timber, new men, new standards of public service, new Ideals. The parties will be better for It. The state will be better and the nation will be better. The people cannot af ford to cling to a man who has, proved himself unworthy of their trust.

LONG AFTER I HAD REPAID HIM HIS MONEY AND MR. LEE WAS APPOINTED." Of the lower federal courts are quite ftl eminent and have been appointed in some case's for reasons of a legal and judicial experience greater than that of some of the members of the highest court. It Is well known that Judge Taft has more than once had the oppor tunity to become a member of the su preme court, but his work, first In the Philippines and then at the head of the war department, has kept him from doing the thing that he would pt rsonally have preferred. It Is probable that the next presi dent of the United States may have to fill more than one vncancy on the supreme bench. Chief Justice Fuller and Justice Harlan were both born lr. 1833 and are therefore 75 years old this year. Justice Brewer Is 71. and Justice Peckham Is 70. Justice Holmes Is 67. Justice McKenna 65, Justice White 63. Justice Day 59, and Justice Moody 55. Justice Harlan has been on the bench 31 years, and Chief Justice Fuller was appointed 20 years ago. . It is fairly probable that either Mr. Taft or Mr. Bryrtn will appoint their successors. It would probably make S'.me difference In the attitude of the court toward critical questions wheth er the vacancies were filled by one president or by another. WHICH ARE YOU. There are two kinds of people on earth today, Just two kinds of people, no more, I say. Not the sinner and the saint, for 'tis well understood The good are half bad and the bad are half good. Not the. rich and the poor, for to count a man's wealth You must first know the state of ills conscience and health. Not the humble and proud, for in life's little span 'ho put on vain airs is not counted a man. Not the happy and sad, for the swift flying years Bring each man his laughter and each man his tears No; the two kinds of people on earth I mean, Are the people who lift, and the peo ple who lean . Wherever you go. you will find the world's masses Are always divided In Just these two classes. And oddly enough, you will find, too, 1 ueen. There- Is only one lifter to twenty who lean. In which class are you? Are you i easing the load Of overtaxed lifters who toil down the road. Or are you a leaner who lets others bear Your portion of labor and worry and i care? Selected. S.S.S.

The decision of the supreme court that a clam Is not a wild beast, hut that it belongs where it has Its hole, and Is apfj&rtenant to the land where it bUrTOWa and spouts, is a flnt rever se! of the dictum of Governor Mend. The governor is an enemy of the clams, although they contributed largely to his nomination and election, by being ready at all times during that memorable campaign for a roast, a hake or a plain soup. Why he should have thrown them down Is a mystery, but as throwing down Is his specialty the mystery is not worth solving. We arc glad that the supreme court has rehabilitated the clams and given them places where they may extend their necks In ptace. Much Is said In these days about the subservience of the courts to the large Interests. Our state supreme court has never, so far as we know, been accused; but this decision will amply fortify It In ense anything of that kind ever should be said. The humble clam has Just as good n chance with our gri'at Judicial tri bunal as JI mllill or I'lerpont Murgan.

The profound Importance of the questions that are coming before the supreme court his brought fresh at tention to the personnel of that body, says the Hevlew of Reviews. It has nine members, and some of the most far-reaching of Its recent decisions have been made by a -bare majority of the group. It Is not to disparage the learning, wisdom and high character of the supreme court Judges to say that many of the Judges PRAISE FOB UMATILLA. Government forces, employed on the t'matlila irrigation project are bending every energy to complete this splendid project by May 40 when water will be turned onto several thousand acres. The completion of the Umatilla project will murk un epoch In the history of I'mutllla county and will provea prime factor in settling a here tofore arid waste of land with pros perous, happy people. The reservoir supplying water for the reclaimed land will be approximately three miles long, one mile in width and from 20 to 40 feet In depth. The dam necessary to retain the Immense volume of water that the reservoir will hold, will be approxi mately 4000 feet in length with a thickness of nearly 400 feet at the base. The building of the dam has been one of the big engineering feats of the west and has necessitated the employment of a large force of men and teams for over a year. Walla Walla .Statesman.

A sociological undertaking which Is to exceed anything of the kind ever attempted In New England, If not In America, Is being planned by Prof. Charles Zueblln, who recently resign ed his professorship of sociology at the university of Chicago, and Mrs. Qulncy Adams Shaw, the famous phi lanthropist and wife of the richest citizen In Roston, says a Boston pa per.

This work will take the form of establishing self-supporting settlements In Boston and throughout Massachusetts, and already- for this purpose $2,000,000 has been set aside by Mrs. Shaw, which amount Is later to be Increased to $5,000,000. The weight of responsibility devel ops the muscles of endeavor. What Makes a Bank Strong ?
