UNION ;4tABE , I would be true, for there are those who trust me. 1 would be pure, for there are those who care; I would be strong, for there Is much to suffer; 4 I would be brave, for there Is much to dare. 4) I would be friend of all, the foe, the friendless I would be giving and forget the gift; 4 I would be humble, for I know my weakness I would look up, and laugh, and lift. Selected. a AN APPEAL TO VtTTERS. The following earnest and eloquent appeal to the voters of Oregon from a pioneer mother of the state, should be enough to melt the hearts of those who are prejudiced against the ballot for women. It comes from the heart of a noble woman who has given her life to the service of her sex, who has tolled through the entire span of her mature years for the enfranchisement of womankind. It Is an appeal which cannot be Ig nored. It Is a woman's prayer for liberty, the most sacred speech that can fall upon man's ears. It Is a let ter from Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway to the voters of Oregon and is as fol lows: Gentlemen, voters, sons, brothers: I am growing old. But I cannot rest until you give us victory. Every hour I spend in this service Is a labor of lcve. Every' dollar I donate Is person al sacrifice. Have the faithful moth ers of Oregon not earned your affirm ative votes for their full and free en franchisement? Yo.u ought not to be afraid of us. You are equipped with ballots. We are depending upon you to honor our flag of truce by voting "Yes" in our behalf in this unequal contest. You know you would compel us to to re peat this struggle In 1910 If you should fail us now. But we believe you will not fail. You have but to unlock this closed door to the citadel of liberty, leaving us free to choose for ourselves, ex actly as you do. as to whether to vote or not to vote, at every succeeding election. Thus only can you acquit yourselves as freemen and relieve us from fur ther effort to Becure equality with our rnp. before the law. ABIGAIL SCOTT DUNIWAY, Mother of Native Sons, President Or egon Equal Suffrage Association. LIFE IN OREGON. The bi-monthly bulletin Issued by t'.ie Oregon state board of health gives acme interesting statistics on life, death, birth and marriages In the state. The last report at hand is that of February 1908, the March report not having been completed yet, but the February report shows that it i safe to live In Oregon. During the month of February there were 678 births, 465 deaths and 277 marriages reported in Oregon. The month of January exceeded the February record In all three of the Items, the births for January being 721, the deaths 442 and the marriages 327. There are no reports from Curry, Wheeler or Gilliam counties and Grant and Lake counties show the least activity. In Grant county there was neither a birth nor(a death dur ing January and only one wedding, while In Lake county there were two births, one death and no marriage. There was absolutely nothing doing In Grant during February, while re newed activity Is shown in Lake, which reported eight births, two deaths and fcur weddings for that month. The record for February shows that 11 births, 26 deaths and 16 marriages occurred In Umatilla while the Janu ary report shows a much more fa vorable condition, the number of births being 23, deaths 16 and mar riages 21. The whooping cough epi demic and large number of pneumonia cases In the county are responsible for the February record. The board urges physicians to report more promptly the cases of birth and death as many of the county reports are Incomplete. I PENDLETON NEW BPAPERS. A remark from Judge Stephen A. 1 1 well of this city in an article on the city of Pendleton In the April number of the Coast magazine which was de voted wholly to Umatilla county, calls for a word of explanation. In course of the article on this city Judge Lowell said that Pendleton newspapers are rated as the best In the state outside of Portland, a rating which the East Oregonlan highly ap preciates, and which It shall endeavor to maintain. t As a business enterprise the East Oregonlan Is one of the leading dis tributors In Pendleton. Its pay roll amounts to 1300 per week or from 11200 to $1500 per month the year around. Twenty-one people are regu larly employed in issuing the dally. weekly and semi-weekly editions, be side a large amount of extra help used from time to time. The paper owns Its own building, building site and plant and pays an average of about $300 per year In taxes. Aside from Its pay roll it expends large sums for fuel, light, paper, ma chinery, repairs and other necessary Items in the production of the paper. But two or three enterprises in Pen dleton exceed it In the distribution of money In he channels of trade in the city and there Is no other news paper plant In Oregon outside of Port land that anywhere nearly equals it In volume of business or money In vested. But Pendleton newspapers are not the only big enterprises in Pendleton. The largest department stores In Ore gon outside of Portland are here; the largest flour mills In Oregon, outside of Portland are here; the largest ho tels in Oregon outside of Portland are hire; the largest public schools, the largest hospital, ,the most promising private schools in the state outside of Portland are to be found here. All of these live enterprises make it possible for Pendleton to support and maintain the best newspapers In the state outside of the metropolis and It might be added to Judge Lowell's re mark that a town Is largply Judged by itn newspapers. They are an Index to the business life and spirit of cities and the better the papers the better the town. Strangers who are close observers go first to the newspaper office on af riving at a new towp to get an esti mate of the business volume and the spirit of the town. It Is the surest r-rrometer, the most substantial stand ard. GET LAND, GET LAND. There are scores of young men In Umatilla county who have no land and who are not thinking seriously of securing any in future. This Is a most serious mistake. Now while the land Is to be had at reasonable prices Is the time to lay foundations for the future. Within an incredibly short time the available land will all be gone and you will still be without a home. Any active young man who will work through the year for wages can buy and pay for a tract of arid land in the west end of the county or can hold a homestead In the foothills. It may seem hard to meet the obliga tion at time, but within a few years you will have paid for It and will own a home and will be Independent. If you let the opportunity pass now, It Is forever gone. When the vacant land now to be found In eastern Ore gon Is once located upon, you will pay a mighty good price fa get a foothold In a god locality, and you can mark this down to remember. There is no other outlet in the northwest. Your future home in Oregon must be carved out of the present available area now awaiting you. What has become of that taxpayers meeting? Let us get at the bottom of this tax and assessment question, now, since it has been started. The Commercial association and business men want to know and there Is only one way by which they can find out ,get together and discuss It and ascer tain the facts. Congressman Ellis is at his post In Washington depending upon his friends and the good Judgment of Or egon voters to keep an experienced and capable man In congress. Umatilla county owns more auto mobiles than any other county In Or egon outside of Multnomah. And Pendleton is the best town. In Ore gon outside of Portland.

LIKE AWAKES ANEW. Life wakes anew In avenue and square, Throbs like pulse through each broad soraughfare, Where moi rni nighttime for a little space Held all within Its comforting em brace A soothing silence that was like a prayer. To some with rainbow colors debon air To some with the grim lineaments of care, , To some with anguish on Its pallid face, Life wakes anew. I Strange what a tangled mystery we hare! Make sraight the skein! what hand so cunning? where Ends the long labor, the elusive chase? Shall we at last our dreams fulfill ed embrace? With hope und Joy, with sorrow and despair, Life wakes anew. Broadway Magazine. A MILLION MEN MIST DIE There is now beginning In British Indlu a great and devastating fam ine. It has been preceded by a win ter of growing scarcity and high prices within the Punjab, in the re gion about Allabad. Lucknow, Cawn nore, Benares and Aasrn. and In Darts of Rajputuna and the Central Prov inces. Though long foreseen, the famine is Inevitable. No foresight can avert It no generosity can prevent from ner. lshlng of starvation of vast numbers of people. "A million or more" is the advance estimate of Benjamin AitKen. How many more will de pend upon the extent to which plague rages among the emaciated victims. March.

The editor sat In his office whenro all but him had fled, and he wished that every dead-beat was In his grave stone dead.

Leech of Bioomlngton, 111., now public printer in the Philippines, was appointed by President Roose velt as public printer on Saturday to succeed Charles A. Ktlllings, resigned. Mr. Leech's name had not ben men tioned previously In connection with the vacant place. Mr. Leech has been chief of the bureau of public printing In the Philippines since 1901. He Is a member of the Columbia Typo graphical Union and has served In nearly all offices subordinate to tho one he now holds. The Swine and the Flower Oh me! I saw a huge and loathsome sty, Wherein a drove of wallowing swine were barred, Whose banquet shocked the nostril and the eve; Then spoke a voice, "Behold the source of lard!" I fled, and saw a field that seemed at first One glistening mass of roses pure and white, With dewy buds mid dark green foliage nursed; And, as I lingered o'er the lovely sight, The summer nreeze, that cooled that Southern scene, Whispered, " Behold the source of COTTOLEN a" S.S.S. PURELY VEGETABLE GREATEST OF ALL TONICS Very few persons are able to pass the Spring season with any degree of physical comfort, without the aid of a tonic. Our systems change with the changing seasons, and more is required of the blood, from which source our bodies receive their nourishment and strength, it this particular season than at others. During the cold Winter 'months we do not exercise as freely as in warmer weather, the skin is not as active in removing the waste and refuse matter, and the other avenues of drainage are dull and sluggish in their work. Thus the impurities which should pass off are left in the system, and are absorbed into the blood. When Spring comes and all nature takes on new life, we change our mode of living, and greater demands are made on the blood for nourishment and strength to enable us to meet the changed conditions. But the Winter accumulations have polluted the blood and destroyed its nutritive qualities to such an extent that it is not able to supply the increased needs of the system, and we suffer in consequence. Our physical machinery seems io get "out of gear," and suffers prom debility, weakness, nervous ness, loss of appetite, etc. Sleep is not refreshing, there is a con stant worn-out feeling, and we do not feel equal to performing the ordinary duties of daily life. When the system is in this dis ordered condition it must have .ssistance; it must be aided with a onic, and it should be a medicine vhich has the additional qualities if a first-class blood purifier, for to cstore health the blood must be :leansed of all impurities. S. S. S. is the best Spring nic, and it is recognized as the .1,1, .st anrl hfet h1rnH nnriHw It is ude entirely of roots and herbs of the forests and fields, and as it does lot contain the slightest trace of mineral in any form, is especially idapted for a systemic remedy, and has the additional value of being lbsolutely safe for young or old. S. S. S. re-establishes the healthy .irculation of the blood, rids the body of that run-down, worn-out feei ng, improves the appetite and digestion, and brings about a return ol tealth and strength to those whose systems have been weakened and lepleted. S. S. S. acts more promptly and satisfactorily than any ither medicine, and those who are beginning to feel the need of a tonic .o fortify themselves against the unpleasant conditions which come with Spring, should commence its use at once. Not only will it tone up he system, but it will remove any humor from the blood, and prevent jn outbreak of Eczema, Acne, Tetter, Poison Oak, Poison Ivy, or other skin disease or eruption, which is so common at this season. S. S. S. is for sale at all drug stores. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA. ILLINOIS LARGELY "DRY."
