When Fortune smiled
And days were bright, it
1 med
1 had more worthy friends than
I bad dreamed
Who clustered 'round, fellcltat-
ing me,
Whose Joy at my good fortune
seemed to be
Without an end.
When Fortune frowned!
I know what you would say:
"They shunned you then and let
you go your way."
Not so! Not one of them but
heard my call
Of dire distress, and came, for
after all
A friend's a friend!

ADVERTISING UMATILLA.
The April number of the Coast
Magazine of Seattle. Is wholly a Uma
tilla county number and as such will
give the county a wonderful amount of
excellent advertising. The entire
magazine, with the exception of a few
-miscellaneous short stories, is made up
of Umatilla county articles and adver
tisements and It is a credit to the
county and to the enterprise of the
publisher, H. L. Wllhelm.
Mr. Wilhelm exacted no big bonus
from the county for his Umatilla
cmnty number, but was satisfied with
the legitimate business which he was
able to secure In the county. On this
Inducement alone, he filled the entire
magazine with Umatilla county read
ing matter and Illustrations and it Is
safe to say that this Is the most com
prehensive review of the county's re
sources, history and attractions ever
published outside of the county.
Pendleton business men purchased
500 ccples of the Umatilla county
number and will endeavor to place
them in the hands of intending home
seekers who will be attracted here by
the excellent showing made In this
number of the Seattle magazine.
It may be said to the different
towns of the county and of the busi
ness men of the county that they pat
ronized this number liberally with In
dividual advertisements, for which the
East Oregonlan sincerely hopes they
will reap a well merited return. It
pays to advertise. There Is no other
way In which to reach any consider
able proportion of the people and
while results often come in a round
about way, yet it is always certain
that they will come.
THE GOULD DIVORCE CASK.
The charges made against Mrs.
Howard Gould by her husband In hlB
suit for divorce gives another glimpse
of the life among the Smart Set, so
graphically pictured during the Thaw
murder trial.
According to Mr. Gould, a succes
sion of cocktails, highballs, gin fizzes
and other seductive drinks followed
each other down his wife's throat from
early noon, when Mrs. Gould first
awakened from her drunken dreams,
until the wee sma" hours when she
sank into an intoxicated slumber. She
also swore like a trooper, smoked
cigarettes and in other ways copied
the manners of the tenderloin.
If these accounts of life among the
very rich, the "law-defying, God-deny,
ing, Idle rich," are true, and there
are many corroborations which con
firm the stories that drift out of the
effete east, idleness and wealth are
fast producing their usual results of
degeneracy and decay In America. The
"smart set" Is doomed to early extinc
tion by its own vices and follies, and
to go the way of the smart sets of all
nations.
There is little danger In America of
t!ie rottenness above permeating the
social fabric of the country, as hap
pened in ancient Rome, when the na
tion became degenerate and an easy
prey to barbarians, but the support
of a butterfly class Is useless luxury
while idle workers parade the streets
tr. vain search for work to pay for
frod and drink, Is Ukey to produce a
social revolution having for its object
the more equitable distribution of
u . ,1th amorg the real wealth-produc
ers.
The excesses of the smart sets of
their various times caused the
"Roundhead rebellion," the French
revolution and nearly all great upris
ings of the people which have dotted
the pages of history.
It la not a good thing for any land
to have the muny slaving for a bare
sustenance so that the pampered few
nay lead luxurious lives, parasites
sapping the life blood of the nation.
President Roosevelt was right In class,
lug both the Idle rich and the h.obo
together as useless classes of society.
LABOR IS FOR THE UNIVERSITY.
The following for the Portland Dally
Journal indicates that the intelligent
worklngmen of the state do not pur
pose to be misled In the matter of am
ple support for the state university:
The executive board of the State
ederatlon of Labor has passed a
resolution urging that labor union
men In all parts of the state support
the University of Oregon appropria
tion bill.
There are 88 affiliated labor organ
izations in Oregon and all of them
have been notified of the action 'of
the State Federation. When seen
yesterday President C. H. Gram spoke
In the highest terms of the university
and Its work and said that he was
heartily In favor of giving the school
the $125,000 per year in order that
the state may have an institution
v. orthyv of the name..
The action of the State Federation
i? merely a recommendation but It
will doubtless be followed by a ma
jority of the labor union men.
Friends of the university are highly
elated over the federation's action.
And It is right and proper the
workingmen should work In harmony
with the effort to build up a great
free university in Oregon, declares the
Eugene Guard. With no tuition fees
to pay and the cost of living very
moderate ,the laborer's son or daugh
ter who Is ambitious and willing to
work may easily procure a collegiate
education In Oregon.
A majority of the students now en
rolled are working their way through
school, and will come out of it well
equipped for any profession or busi
ness they may choose to enter.
Close up the university, or circum
scribe its usefulness by the allowance
of only a niggardly support and the
opportunity to educate themselves
will be taken from thousands of Ore
gon boys and girls whose parents are
not able to send them to institutions
outside of the state.
The organized workingmen are right
In standing for higher education with,
in the reach of all classes, and sup
ported by every fair-minded citizen,
in any walk of life, who is interested
in the growth and prosperity of Ore
gon and wants to see its boys and
g.rls given every possible opportunity
for educating and fitting themselves
for the serious business of life.
MRS. EDDY FOR A NAVY.
The following remarkable admission
from Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, head
of the Christian Science church, on the
necessity of large navies to prevent
war. Is significant In view of the fact
that she has always been optspoken
for peace, an advocate of arbitration,
an opponent of war In any form.
In the last Issue of the official organ
of the Christian Science church, she
says:
For many years I have prayed daily
that there be no more war, no more
barbarous slaughtering of our fellow
beings, prayed that all the peoples on
earth and the islands of the sea have
one God, one mind, love God supreme
ly, and love their neighbor as them
selves. National disagreements can be, and
should be arbitrated wisely, fairly and
fully settled. It is unquestionable,
however, that at this hour the arma
ment of navies Is necessary, for the
purpose of preventing war and pre
serving peace among nations.
JAPAN IS PRETTY BUSY.
Poor Japan Is blamed for every
thing, and of that for which she can
not be blamed she is suspected. She
ha Korea, and Is accused of wanting
to gobble all of Manchuria.
It has been said she plans the ac
quisition of the Philippines and Ha
waii, and now the premier of Aus
tralia suggests that Japan Intends to
assume the aggressive and attempt to
conquer the whole of that so-called
continent
If Japan makes an attempt for any
one or all of the territories she Is said
to covet she will have a rather stren
uous time, and Just at present she has
plenty to do at home and In Korea.
That Japan will eventually attempt
tc extend her dominions is altogether
probable, but It is very doubtful If at
present the mikado Is sighing for more
worlds to conquer.
GEER TOOK THE MONEY.
III answering tlio duirgo that ,
ho sold the office) of superln-
tcmlcnt of Uie Oregon peulicii-
tUiry to 11. R. Pluiiuner for
siooo. during his term as gov-
BRsOr, T. T. iior si)H In po-
kt, the Pendleton Tribune:
"The truth it thut Mr. Plum-
HM not only did not have uny
sort of 1111 agreement with me,
written or otherwise, but he did
not pivti ml to luive UNTIL
LONG AFTER I HAD REPAIR
RIM HIS MONEY AND MR.
LEE WAS APPOINTED."
The Pendleton Tribune says that the
editor of the East Oregonlan rode in
to Oregon on a pass and has. been
"deadheading It" ever since. Talk
ubout "deadheading," It Is cruelly in
sinuated that T. T. Geer, editor of the
Tribune, has been "deadheading" on
the railroads of, Oregon for the past
30 years. In fact, there Is no record
of him, ever having purchased a rail
road ticket. The railroad pass Is a
two-edged sword, when used by such
slippery politicians as T. T. Geer as
a weapon against some one else. Let
us have Mr. Geer's railroad pass rec
ord, since the matter has been broach
ed by his own paper. How many
miles has Mr. Geer traveled on Ore
gon rullroads without a pass?
THE MARSEILLAISE.
This French song of the commune
was inspiration for the New York
riot on Saturday.
Ye sons of freedom, wake to glory!
Hark! Hark! what myriads bid
you rise!
Your children, wives and grandslres
hoary,
Behold their tears and hear their
cries!
Shall hateful tyrants, mischiefs
breeding,
With hireling hosts, a ruffian band,
Affright and desolate the land.
While peace and liberty lie bleed
ing?
To arms! to arms! ye brave!
The avenging sword unsheath;
March on! march on! all hearts re
solved. Now, now the dangerous storm Is
rolling,
Which treacherous kings confed
erate raise.
The dogs of war, let loose, are howl
ing.
And lo! our fields and cities blase;
And shall we basely view the ruin,
While lawless force, with guilty
stride,
Spreads desolation far and wide.
With crimes and blood his hands
' imbruing,
To arms! to arms! ye brave! etc
O Liberty! can man resign thee,
Once having felt thy generous
flame?
Can dungeons, bolts or bars confine
thee?
Or whips thy noble spirit tame?
Too long the world has wept bewail
ing That falsehood's dagger tyrants wield,
But freedom Is our sword and shield.
And all their arts are unavailing.
To arms! to arms! etc.
THE GREATER RKSl'RRFXTIOX.
From day to day Impassive fates un
roll
The things we see and dimly com
prehend;
Hut death's own secret all the
years defend
Shall ever potter mend the broken
bowl?
Perchance from It the earth must
claim her dole.
Yet. oh, might we, when thus our
thoughts attend.
Forget the body praying God to
send
The greater resurrection of the soul!
Soul cannot die? Its essence is di
vine? Soul cannot die, but It afar can
fare, .
And drink the drink and eat the food
of swine.
Then must It learn to see Itself and
and quail.
Then must it break its heart In ut
ter prayer.
For that rebirth which only can avail.
James Leroy Stockton.
THE LONELY TREE.
Like a hermit from the wood
Stands a tree In solitude.
In its shade tired travelers rest;
For a canopy o'erhead;
In its arms sweet song birds nest,
In Its shade tired travelrs rest;
Noble, grand, protecting, free,
Is this solitary tree.
King of trees, apart it stands,
Monarch of the forest lands;
To perfection has It grown,
Stronger that It stands alone;
Solitude has been Its friend,
Ridding It aspire, extend;
It could not so mighty be
Were It not a lonely tree.
Storms may heat; It firmly stands,
Outward reaching It expands;
Smaller srrowths cannot Intrude
On Its roval solitude.
Calm courageous, strong, upright,
Faelnir ever toward the light. ,
Lonely soul to nature turn
From tM tree a lesson learn.

The r'vers we ffshed In when a boy
are nothing but creeks now.

OBSTINATE ULCERS
MAY LEAD TO CANCER
There is no difference, at first, in the appearance of a cancerous and
common ulcer, and for this reason every sore that is obstinate or wo in
healing should excite suspicion, for the sore ia nothing more than ths exter
nal evidence of a polluted blood, and if allowed to remain may degenerate
into Cancer. Efforts to heal the ulcer by meant of salves, plasters and other
external remedies always result in failure.because such treatment can have
no possible effect on the blood, where the deadly germs and morbid matter
form, and are carried through the circulation to the place. No sore or Ulcer
can exist without a predisposing internal cause, and the open, discharging
nicer or festering old sore will continue to eat deeper into the surrounding
flesh as long as a polluted, germ-infected circulation discharges Its impur
ities into it. S. S. S. iroes to the fountain-head of the trouble, and drives
out the germ-producing poisons and
sss.

Hahoiig Rotter Horse.
"The ranchmen all up through tne.
country are starting In to breed a
better class of horses," said James C.
Thrall to The Dalles Chronicle, on his
11 turn from a recent trip through the
Interior.
"Breeders are finding out that size
l( not the onlv thing to be desired.
The big horse Is good in his place as
work horse but he Is usually a poor
tad horse.
"The Portland and other city mar
kets are clamoring now for a high-
grade carriage horse and our brooders
have nothing to meet this demand. So
hey are looking about for the best
vDes of standard bred and thorough
bred stallions for breeding up to na
