So let the people get to gether In the. matter and settle It FRATERNITY, 4 O little house with windows wldo, A-looking toward the sea! How have you come how could you come, T mean so much to me? Your walls within my heart are raised. And, oh, how strange It seems, My hopes but measure to your roof, O little house o" dreams! O little place where friends will come. The tangled world to flee; Brave little nook where peace will hide. And hospitality! Pray Where's the magic wand I need To touch your slender beams, And change you to a home in truth, O little house o' dreams? Alnslee's CONSIDER THE TAXES. President Alexander of Pendleton Commercial association, has acted most wisely in selecting his committee to call and arrange for the mass meet ing of taxpayers. The commercial Interests of tne county are ably and directly represent, ed on that committee by T. C. Taylor Montie B. Owlnn and J. R. Dickson, while the farming Interests of the county are represented by Elmer Snyder and the livestock Interests by Dan P. Smythe, secretary of both the Oregon and Umatilla County WooN growers' associations. Now that this excellent committee has been appointed bo arrange for a meeting of the taxpayers, let every section of the county be represented In the meeting. This Is a momentous and vital question, perhaps the great est economic question which can en gage the citizens of Umatilla or any other county, and let us sift It to the bottom and get on a firm, stable and just basis of assessment and taxation. The Commercial association Is the logical body to start this movement, li. is the right arm of every commer cial and industrial activity in Umatil la county and is made up of the strongest business element of the city and county. The men who make laws, outline public policies, direct the af fairs of the largest and most success ful enterprises In the county are members of Pendleton Commercial as sociation and this association is there fore capable of sifting the question of assessment and taxation to the bot- tom. "f1'H It Is unfortunate that more leading farmers are not members of the asso ciation. The association needs the farmer and the farmer needs the as sociation. This proposed meeting In which every taxpayer In the county la vitally Interested, shows the unity of interest which exists between the city and country resident; it shows how closely the people are connected on public questions, no matter how far apart the same people may be In social life and diversity of occupation. Let us have a rousing mass meet ing. Let us get at the heart and cor-3 of this big problem and settle It fear lessly, equitably and honestly, once for all. in Umatilla county. It must be remembered, however, always, that neither the making of the assessment nor the expenditure of county funds is the work of any one man, or set of men. The boari of equalization passes upon the assess ments made by the assessor and the tax levy is fixed upon the basis of property returned. There i a check upon the matter in n number of ways and taxes are based upon the needs of the county. If washouts, floods, high water and other unavoidable causes make new roads and bridges absolutely neces sary, and taxes are thereby Increased, neither the county court nor the aa- sor are to blame. The county court will welcome any Pendleton Is the strongest fraterna order city In the northwest, according to population, anil the effect of this Is felt In every phase of life soda business, industrial and civic. With about 30 secret orders at work binding people together with ties of love and fraternity; with every man and every woman guarding the Inter ests and exercising watchful solid tude for the welfare of every other man and woman with which they are associated, the fraternal spirit reaches its highest Ideal here. There are but one or two key words in human language when you sift out the mercenary phases, the cold cold-blooded terms of the world, the hot words of hatred and the stinging sentences of prejudice and jealousy. "Fraternity and brotherly love' contain all that Is worthy In life Every other exalted Ideal Is founded upon these; through these words come all progress, all advancement, all true Intellectual uplift and all genuine world development. If you love your fellow man truly and without stint or selfishness, you lay the foundation for every highest aim in life; If you keep your brother's interests in your mind and watch that he Is not Injured or menaced by the threatening perils of the world, you have earned the jeweled crown if Immortality. " All men do not see alike; all men do not believe alike; all men do not construce the same great problems alike. But here and there In the world are little groups and coteries of men linked together' in fraternity, studying the great problems in earn estness and brotherly spirit, meeting the vexing obstacles of life in their own way and In the light which they have to guide them. These little groups are doing the world's greatest work. Whether thev be churches or lodges or societies or clubs, If their work Is earnest and their motives honest, they are carry ing forward the greatest movement that can engage human intelligence the uplift of humanity.

A BUGLE CALL ONLY' A GIRL Out of the thousand contestants In the Portland Commercial club liter ary contest, a girl, Miss Mateel Howe of Portland, won the second prize for which 1500 was given. The East Oregonian Is delighted to know this. It is delighted to know that Miss Howe won on merit and not through sympathy, sentiment or friendship. Her article on Oregon met the thousand other articles In open contest and she won. Let us think for an instant on this matter. Here Is a beautiful, Intelli gent young woman winning honors from men in a literary contest in which teachers, professors, newspaper men, lawyers, physicians, magazine writers and men in every other walk D life, engaged. These men, boasted .autocrats of a free government, vote and make laws for the nation and yet this disfran chised girl, this capable young wo man who is forbidden to enter the sa- red precincts of citizenship, carries off Intellectual honors for which the men contested In vain. Reallv. Isn't this male citizenship monopoly a laughable yet serious farce? DOMING TO PENDLETON. The Athena correspondence of the East Oregonian today gives the ln- "rmatlon that the actual work of se curing right of way for the Walla Walla electric line Is now being car ried on In the vicinity of Athena and Weston. It further states that the city coun cil of Weston will be asked for a fran chise by the company soon and that there Is every prospect that the line will be extended toward Pendleton. No more encouraging or hopeful news than this ever reached the city. The coming of the electric line and Its extension into the Irrigated sec tion west of here means more to Pen dleton than can be expressed In a brief editorial. Pendleton can afford to get into the harness and do something to hurry up its coming. The communication of Ho'n. C. A. Barett in today's East Oregonian will set many people right on the popular election of United States senators. There has been and Is yet much mis understanding on the primary law and many of the leading politicians and newspapers of the state have pur posely misstated the provisions and outcome of the law in order to con fuse voters and whip them Into line for the machine. Mr. Barrett's clear and concise statement and explana tion should have the effect of setting President Roosevelt has been the target of the Washingtonians ever since he entered office. He has been accused of having' his favorites and chums, and of letting his favorites es cape when accused. He has been charged with enlarging his list of undesirable citizens" from- those who dislike him most. His latest message urging new luws for the control of corporations, espe cially railways, has accused him to be a new target for gossip on the part of the Washington officeholder or those who desire to hold office. His message was so vigorous that he was Immediately accused of making a last and final bid for a third term. But those who know the president intimately know that his last message Is an endeavor Ao awaken congress to the necessity of some new legislation to assist in carrying out the work of his administration He felt that con gress desired to settle down, being content with what it had done In other words, his message was an ap plication of the "big stick." Congress will swear beneath Its breath, but they will not refuse to act. tor in their hearts they know the president is right. He believes in striking while the Iron Is hot. He knows that the country Is with him. He realizes that now Is the accented time. He believes It would be easier to secure legislation now and comnlete his work than it will b.' for his suc cessor to secure the same from a new congress. His heart is in his work.

There Is no reason why any man In the United States should be out of employment, no matter what the con ditions of business. In Louisiana, for example, there are 27,000,000 acres of land, of which only 6.000,000 are cultivated. Plant ers with large tracts stand ready to aid every man who Is willing to help himself. They will sell him all the tnd he needs on 10 years' credit, or will allow him to farm on shares, providing him with a house, a horse and a mule, sufficient seed to plant crops, and provide farming imple ments. Yet with the whole country' full of such opportunities, large cities swarm with men who claim they cannot get work, and municipalities are at ' their wits' end to find some way to help the unemployed. The farms of the nation contain the only solution of that problem. Chicago ournal. Is 27 years old. He wears his hair In a long queue down his back.

Peter Chang, said to bo the first Chinese Catholic priest to visit this country, arrived In New York on the steamship Ryndam. He was ac companied by Bishop August Hennln ghus of the diocese of South Shan tung, China. The bishop went to China as a missionary 21 years ago. In a short time he had a congrega tion of 125 converts, but he says that there are now more than 80,000 con verts in his diocese.

There Is no way of making frwrlng friends like "Making (food;" and Doctor Pierce's, medicine, well exemplify this, and their friends, after more than two decades of popularity, are numbered by the hundreds of thousands. They have " made good " and they have not made drunkard'). A good, honest, square-deal medicine of known composition Is Dr. Pierce's OoMm Medical Discovery. It still enjoys an im mense sale, while most of the prepara tions that have como into prominence in the earlier period of Its popularity liuve "gone by the board " and are never more beard of. There must le some reason for this long-time popularity and that Is to be found In its superior merits. When once given a fair trial for weak stomach, or for liver and Mood affections. Its supe rior curative qualities are Soon manifest; henco it has survived and grown in pop ular favor, while scores of less meritorious articles have suddenly flashed Into favor for a brief period and then been as soon forgotten. For a torpid liver with Its attendant Indigestion, dyspepsia, headache, per haps dizziness, foul breath, nastv conteil tongue, with bitter taste, loss of appetite, with distress after eating, nervousness and debility, nothing Is so good as Dr. Pierce's Goldeil Medical Discovery. It's an honest, square-deal medicine with all Its Ingredients printed on little-wrapper no secret, no hocus-pocus hiintmigv therefore don't aoofpi a substitute that tb dealer may possibly make a little big ger profit. InxM on your right to havo what you call for. Don't buy Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip tion ex fioctlng it, to prove a "cure-all." It Is only udM.sed for woman's apcrUU ail ments. It makes weak women strong and sick women well. Less advertised than some preparations sold for like purposes, Its sterling curative virtues still maintain Its position In the front ranks, where It stood over two decades sen. As an In vigorating tonic and strengthening nerv ine It Is unequaled. It won't satisfy those who want " booze," for there is not a drop of alcohol In It. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, the irlgl nal Little Liver Pills, uliliough the first pill of their kind In the market, still lead, and when once tried are ever afterwards In favor. Easy to take as candy-one to three a dose. Much imWHeU but never What Makes a Bank Strong ?
