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?

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.

OPEN THE DOOR OF YOUR HBA
Open the door of your heart, my lad
To the angels of love and truth)
When the world is full of unnumber
ed Joys,
In the beautiful dawn of youth
Casting aside all things that mar,
Saying to wrong, "Depart!"
To the voices of hope that are calling
you
Open the door of your heart.
Open the door of your heart, my lass,
To the things that shall abide,
To the noiy thoughts that lift your
soul
Like the stars a eventide.
All of the fadeless flowers that bloom
In the realms of song and art
Are yours, if you'll only give them
room,
Open the door of your heart.
Open the door of your heart, my
friend,
Heedless of class or creed.
When you hear the cry of a brother's
voice,
The sob of a child in need.
To the shining heaven that o'er you
bends
You need no map or chart,
But only the love the Muster gave,
Open the door of your heart.

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.

CALL OF THE FARM.
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.

FIRST CHINESE PRIEST.
Rev. 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

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. Father Chang

There Is no way of making frwrlng

and their friends, after more than two
decades of popularity, are numbered by
the hundreds of thousands. They have

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

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

Don't buy Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip

Is only udM.sed for woman's apcrUU ail

Its sterling curative virtues still maintain
Its position In the front ranks, where It
