No wrathful wrecks of yester day Shall shut the sunlight from my face; Nor bar my upward-climbing way Nor trammel me in my soul race. Done doeds are dead. Let those who will Falter and fall before old ghosts! For me the sweet, exultant thrill Of marching with the con quering hosts. For me, no dreaming, doubtful dreams. Nor pondering on gone defeat. Before me lies the road which gleams Wth all its triple-mlllioned feet. That bravely strive unceasing ly To reach that far tall-towered height, Whereon the sun shines dai zlingty And where there Is no' bitter night No hand may help, no word may cheer. But by whatever gods there be Within my heart there lurks no . fear. And I shall wrest the victory. Lucius' Withers. George E. Chamberlain for the senate. You have a clean, honest, capable, fearless candidate of your own and with 40,000 majority In the state you should sweep Cake Into office with victory that would for ever silence party dissension and ' factional strife l Oregon. The principle of the popular clec tlon of United States Jonators has come to stay and the way to make Oregon permanently republican is to keep clean, honest men In office; de niand that the people's choice be elected and then see that the popple's cllce is a republican. For such program the Chamberlain bugaboo will have no terrors. The people of Oregon are walking hand in hand with progress. They have rebuked the proffered entice ments of the old machine of Portland and now let us put the loyalty of the machine to the test. Let us see if the machine Is really and truly re publican at heart or whether It Is wholly selfish and has simply used republican voters In the past for sel fish ends. If the defeated members of the ma chine will now support Cake who is the republican choice, against the democratic nominee, well and good The test will be satisfactory; but let us see. The matter has been put up to them. Are they Interested In the success of republican principles? Let us watch closely and see where they stand on the senatorial question. IX THE SHADOW WORLD. A COMPLETE VICTORY. The East Oregonian has especial cause for rejoicing over the result of the primary election last Friday, for the rea.on that the four principal ob jects for which this paper fought In the campaign preceding the primaries, were accomplished, to-wit: Nomination of W. R. Ellis for con gress. Nomination of H. M. Cuke for the senate. Renomlnation of C. A. Barrett for the legislature. Triumph of statement No. 1. Without boasting, the East Oregon Ian feels that it contributed to the accomplishment of all four of these triumphs In the state, congressiona district and county and It rejoices In the success of these triumphs because they seem to be In the cau.se of right and In the Interest of the people of Oregon. The paper Is stronger with the peo ple of Umatilla county tonight than ever before for the reason that it has co-o,perated with them to accomplish that' which they have seen fit to ac complish for their own best Interest Ii has engaged In the campaign befori the primaries for the success of cer tain men and measures because it be lieved that these men and these meas ures most nearly represented the ad vancing political sentiment and spirit of the state of Oregon. The time has past when a half doz en men can or should control the political actions of the voters of a city, county or state and through the primary law the people must express their choice hereafter regardless of the self-appointed leaders. The popular election of United States senators has come to stay In Oregon. The thing for Oregon to do now Is to enact statement No. 1 Into lr.w and avoid further contests over the subject. THE CHAMBERLAIN Bl'GAUOO. The republicans of Oregon have nominated a candidate for United States senate against whom ihe Cham berlain bugaboo will have no political influence. H. M. Cake stands for every good political, principle advo cated by Governor Chamberlain and In addition in a republican. In sympa thy with the Roosevelt policies and ready t work with the progressive element In congress for the better ment of the country, fio there Is no need for a solitary republican In Oregon to vote for Everybody's Magazine has started an investigation of spiritualism and in the May number, which Is now out, has offered 11000 In prizes for the best reports of medlumlstlc demon strations. The magazine wants no Jugglery or deceit from so-called "professionals." I'. Is not offering a reward for liter ary fiction, but it wants true stories of mediumlstic revelations, facts con cerning the demonstrations made by spiritualists In their own homes and among -their own families and friends where deceit Is Impossible and where many surprising results have been ob tained In a modest way. This subject is world-old but It is ever fresh and new. Evidence that there Is some sort of communication with the spirit world is piled up moun tain high before the candid and un prejudiced and as psychic research goes forward we are getting closer and closer to the truth. No man can deny the fact that he receives premonitions, mental sugges tions, presentiments from some un seen and absolutely unknown source, many times In his life. Thousands of honest men and women follow these suggestions In the ordinary business of life and attribute many of their comforts and successes to them. Whatever it Is, whether actual spirit communication, telepathy, highly at t ined sensitiveness or receptive men tality. It Is mystifying yet fascinating and the results of Everybody's lnves tlgation will be watched with Intense Interest. Spiritualism, the belief in commu nlcatlon with the unseen, is no longer a bugaboo. Scientists have admitted that they can no longer explain It with a shrug of contempt. They must meet its unanswerable facts with something more than prejudiced snarls and senseless ridicule. That la what the pending amend ment to the constitution of Missouri proposes to do. The organization of tho educated Nez Perce Indians into a body for the purposo of taking an active Interest in county affairs Is a most hopeful sigh for the future of tho northwest Indian. Where those people own land and take an Interest In the progress of the county they will forget their olden ways. The blanket will soon be discarded, the tepee abandoned and the long hair cut off. There Is no reason why one-fifth of the Umatilla tribe should not be taking an active jart In the affairs of Umatilla county. Many of them read the newspapers, conduct their own business and have much executive ability. They should be encouraged In this and Invited to take an Interest In county affairs. What Is the matter with the tax payers' meeting? Pendelton Commer cial association cannot afford to let this matter drop. It has been started in good faith and should be followed to the tnd. If there Is Inequality or Injustice In the taxation or assess ment of the county as charged, let us know where It is and find a remedy. Ml BMEtJMMISft EDDY RACKED MH PAIN No other disease causes such wide-spread Buffering as Rheumatism. II fs a nerve racking torture, and so thoroughly does it dominate the system, when it becomes entrenched in the blood, that its victims are usually com plete slaves to pain. Rheumatism is due to an excess of uric acid in the blood brought on by stomach troubles, weak kidneys, indigestion, and a sluirsrish condition of the system. The natural refuse of the body, instead of passing off through the ordinary channels of waste, is left to sour and ferment in the system because of these irregularities, forming uric acid which is absorbed into the blood, and Rheumatism gets a foothold. As the blood circulates through the body it deposits the acrid, irritating sub stances with which it is saturated, iuto the different muscles, nerves, tissues and bones. Sharp, biting pains commence, the flesh becomes feverish, swollen and tender, the muscles and joints throb and jerk, and the body is literally racked with pain. Plasters, blisters, liniments, etc., can never cure the disease ; they relieve the pain, per haps, temporarily, but do not reach the trouble, which is in the blood. S. S. S. is the proper treatment for Rheumatism. It goes down and attacks the disease at its head, and t the noison and acrid fluids PURELY VEGETABLE which are causing the pain, and strengthen ing and enriching the blood, cures Rheuma tism permanently. S. S. S. is the greatest of all blood purifiers, just what is needed in every case of Rheumatism. Book on Rheumatism and any medical advice free. .

The Kansas City Star discusses the philosophy of the tax question in a practical way and suggests several new Ideas which will perhaps enter Into the settlement of the question In Its final solution. The Star ays: The American people became a na tlon on the principle that taxes should not be imposed upon them by an alien force. Later their Interest In taxa tion has been that taxes shall not be too large. Now they are realizing that It Is quite as important that taxes shall be levied on an equitable basis. The ideas of what Is an equitable basis necessarily have changed with a change In the social organization. The move In Missouri for separating the sources of state and local revenue Is one manifestation of the changed Ideas. A way of collecting revenues that was good for a simple state of society Is not good for a complex one. A railroad has a different method of bookkeeping from that of a corner grocery. Our tax system of today is bad, not because taxes In general are too high, but because they are not adjusted properly. A system which Is bad for this reason has consequently not been corrected by cutting down the tax rate. The logical remedy has consej- quently been corrected by cutting do wn the tax rate. The logical reme dy Is to get a better adjustment. When that Is done the way will then be open for such state or local Im provements as may be necessary. The obviously Just course Is to let the state prescribe for Itself, and each locality city or county deter mine how It will arrange for Its needs. JUTE BAGS IX DHAZIL, Deputy Consul General Joseph J. Slechta, of Rio de Janeiro, furnishes the following report on the conditions under which the monopoly of Jute ; oag manufacture Is profitably car ried on In Brazil: The bags used to hold Brazil's Im mense coffee crops are manufactured by national Industrial establishments. When It Is remembered that last year Brazil needed over 20,000.000 Jute bags to hold the year's coffee production, and that each bag costs the shipper a trifle over 18 cents. It s seen that the business of manufac turing coffee bags takes on very con siderable proportions, amounting last year to nearly $4,000,000. Bags made of the same material are used also for rice, beans and other agricultural products of Brazil. The greater part of these bags are manufactured by five large establish ments which have hitherto been more or less independent of each other. Two of the largest of tho factories are owned by an American who Is also the sole owner of large cotton mills. Through the efforts of this mill own er all five of the large mills producing bags for coffee and other purposes have been brought under one manage ment. Only a few weeks have elapsed since the completion of the organiza tion, but already the prices have beerr raised about one-third of a cent per bag. . . J Bags are manufactured from the raw Jute, nearly all of which is Im ported from British countries, the Im ports therefrom In 1906 amounting to about $2,500,000. Of course the United Kingdom could produce the finished article much cheaper than It can be manufactured here, but the Item of duties Is a factor to bo reck oned with on that score. The duty on Jute bags Is S00 crls per 'kilo (2.2 pounds) which becomes In actual payment. Including proportion paya ble In gold, about 35 cents. The average weight of bags used for coffee Is approximately 440 grams, or very nearly one pound, which means about 16 cents per bag In customs charges, and since the manufacturer's price averages a little more than 18 cents per brig, the duty amounts to 88 per cent, as based on the price here, while. If based on the manufacturer's price In England amounts to a much higher rate. MOKE GREAT CANALS. Canals more wonderful than those of Panama and Suez are already In prospect. The early summer Is to see the commencement of an Inland wnterway that will dwarf them both Into comparative Insignificance. This Is tho long projected Baltic sea canal, which will Intersect Rus sia from north to south, a distance of 1.000 miles, and the total estimated cost of which Is put offlclully at $500 million dollars, although It will prob ably exceed even this sum. Another wonderful canal scheme Is being enthusiastically taken up In Italy, con templates nothing less than the Join ing by this means of Geona and Lake Constance. To do this It will be necessary, of course, to cross not only the Appen Ine mountains, but also the Alps This It Is proposed to do by means of a new Invention In locks, Involving the construction of a series -of In clined tublur lifts. It may yet be pos sible to travel by steamer over the loftiest mountain range In Europe. A contract has been awarded to Campbell & Huffman of Klamath Falls, fur the construction of a 430 foot wooden flume In connection with the south branch canal of the Klam ath Irrigation project. The contract amounts to $20,730. A contract has been awarded to Maney Bros., of Wln nemucca, Xev.. for the construction of the south branch canal of the Klamath project. The work Involves the excavation of 300,000 cubic yards of material, The contract amounts to $78,9'6. Work has commenced on a new pressed brick high school building for North Yakima. The contractors hope to have It completed In time for next term's work. ml mppofBGu Every woman covetl 6hapely, pretty figure, and many of them deplore the loss of their girlish forms after marriage.

In Judging a bank, always remember that it Is the personnel of the stockholders, directors and offi cers that are behind the Institution which give con fidence to the depositor that his funds are safe. The Pendleton Savings Bank Is essentially a "Home" Institution. Its stockhold ers are well known Umatilla county and Oregon citizens. Its constant growth Is the result of care ful and conservative management, with the most liberal treatment for all deserving enterprise. Capital and Surplus $250,000.00 W. J. Furnish R. T.

Miss Elklns, If she becomes the wife of the cousin of the little king of Italy, will be not only a duchess, but a princess. Louis was born up among the mountains In the north east corner of Italy, his home being among the wildest and loftiest peaks of the Appenlnes. The Jagged moun tain groups reach In the Gran Sasso d'ltalia an elevation of nearly 10,000 feet. The climate of Abruzzo Is In clement In the higher altitudes. Snow rests on the foolhlllH from October to April, and on some of the peaks the year round. Here the young prlnee learned mountain climbing. He used to go after the wild goat of the Alps, so wonderfully described by Balzec In the "Country Doctor," and In all probability had Just such a leader In this dangerous game as Bal zac's hero.
