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.

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

thy with the Roosevelt policies and

element In congress for the better

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.

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

NEW IDEA IX TAXES.
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.

Every woman covetl

many of them deplore the
loss of their girlish forms
after marriage. The bearing

to the mother's shapeliness,
All ot this can. be avoided,
however, by the use of Mother's Friend before baby comes, as this
great liniment always prepares the body for the strain upon it, and
preserves the symmetry of her form. Mother' Friend overcomes all tho
danger of child-birth, and carries the expectant mother safely through
this critical period without pain. It is woman's greatest blessing.

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

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
