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.

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.
Don't forget to vote In the pri
maries next Friday. Be a citizen.

Umatilla county always loses two
or three wheat crops and lumb crops
(in the Associated Press dispatches)
and then raises 6,000,000 bushels of
wheat and 100 per cent of lambs, if
she could just raise all the lambs and
wheat that the Associated Press de
stroys by drought, freezes and wash
outs each year, there would not be
room In the county to handle the In
crease. 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.

Strange what a tangled mystery we
hare!
Make sraight the skein! what hand

Ends the long labor, the elusive
chase?
Shall we at last our dreams fulfill

With hope und Joy, with sorrow and
despair,
Life wakes anew.

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

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.
