Joyously; confident that THE KNOWER within me di- reots all my thoughts aright, my hands and my feet nay; my whole body Is obedient to my will; it renders me glad ser- vice. When I work in this spirit I ally myself with all the sources of health, with all the streams and currents of noble and pure ideas. I rise without painful etfort Into serene altitudes of truth. I ACCOMPLISH that for which I was sent Into the world. To this end I will commit my thoughts unto the Lord, knowing that my work shall be establish- ed. Neither seed-time nor har- vest shall fall me; for though there be diversities of labor, yet it is the same God which work- eth ALL IX ALL. "My Father worketh hitherto, and I work." And so, patiently working day after day, in due time I shall "finish the work" which has been given me to do, and be ready for the "greater works" which are even now preparing for me.

FOR A CURRENCY COMMISSION It Is now apparent that congress will do nothing this season toward remedial currency legislation, and the inaction of that august body on this particular question is, as a whole gratifying to the country at large, for the general opinion seems to be "Nothing rather thuii the Aldrich or Vreoland bill," says the Spokane Chronicle. Congress is admittedly not an au thority on financial lore, and taken aa a body, its understanding of cur rency problems Is probbaly not clear, It is well, therefore, that the members, lit spite of the lashings of the party whip, have listened tii the requests of bankers and merchants, and taken no hasty action. But when congress next convenes it will be little If any more qualified to pass wise currency legislation. Why not, then, appoint a commission to In vestlgate thoroughly our present fi nancial system a commission which could place an Intelligent and intelli gible report before congress at Its next session? Mr. Fowler, himself the father of a currency bill, favors the appointment of a commission consisting of mem bers of the senate, of house members, of merchants, bankers and business men from the east, the west, and from the Mississippi valley. Has any one better plan to suggest? A VIEW OF PEN DLETON. THE NEW WOOL CENTER. "With the construction of the Im mense wool storage warehouses at Omaha for the accommodation of the woolgrowers of the west, startling possibilities which promise to make Omaha the great central wool market and manufacturing city of the world, come into view. With all the wool of the 16 wool growing states and territories of the Pacific coast pouring Into Omaha's immense warehouses and with scour ing and baling plants there, that city will take on world-importance in the wool trade. With cheap power and magnificent transportation facilities Omaha is prepared to compete with New Eng land as a wool manufacturing cen ter and being close to the western ranges she would save freight rates half way across the continent. .So Omaha is now taking on Import ance as a wool center. Millions of pounds will be sent there this season from Montana, Utah, Wyoming and other western states to be marketed I from the central warehouses and as the market features become import ant, manufacturing will follow and the wool center of he United .States will perhaps be moved from New Eng land to the west. BETTER INDIANS. The Umatilla Indians are paying up their bills and accounts better this spring than ever before. .Since they have been drawing their present pay ment of 950,000 during the past week, practically all of their bills have been paid off and their obligations dis ch.nt'd. Many old bills which had been standing for years and which had been neglected through several payments of funds, have been prompt ly paid with this money and the tribe is In better condition today than ever before. This improving condition of the In dian Is largely due to the splendid in fluence and example of Agent Arthur E. McFatridge, who has given his best efforts to the management of the res ervation affairs and to the upbuilding of the tribe. The Indians respect Agent McFat ridge and his Influence with them Is perhaps greater than that of any of the recent agents. He advises with the Indians , tells them to be honest and square and to his constant moral teaching is due a large part of the Im proving condition of the Umatlllas. Under his good influence, It will not require many years to elevate the Indians to the plane of citizenship. Perhaps one-fifth of the Umatilla tribe is today ready for Independent citizenship. With good training in and out of school, with a good exam ple set before them, with square deal ing and high Ideals, It will be but a few years until practically all of the tribe will be out of savagry, out of The Walla Walla Statesman pub lishes a caustic editorial on the sub ject of boosting In Pendleton and as the editorial- Is typical of a number which have appeared in Inland empire papers since last Monday night, on the" same subject, the East Oregonlan takes the liberty of reprinting It to show what other towns think of our publicity efforts. The Statesman says: Pendleton, the third largest city In Oregon, Is a good town in a great many respects, but unfortunately for the commercial interests of the city, she now occupies a position similar to that of Walla Walla some eight or 10 years ago, when the town was afflict ed with so many mossbacks that it was almost Impossible to take up and successfully promote any enterprise looking to the advancement of thu city and the territory contiguous. Pendleton was jlven a demonstra tlon of mossbackism Monday even ing, at a so-called "Booster" meeting, at which It was proposed to raise among wealthy property owners and merchants, a sufficient sum to main tain a publicity bureau by which the resources of Pendleton and Umatilla county were to be advertised to the world. As far as raising funds was concern ed the meeting was a decided frost, but $65 per month being subscribed and then only after President Tom Richardson of the Portland Commer cial club, who was present, had made few caustic remarks about the Pen dleton spirit. Even this prodding failed to move the property owners and the scheme to establish a publicity bureau wllf probably fall flat. Pendleton property owners will soon see the fallacy of retarding any public-spirited movement to advance their community and In fact It was point ed out at the meeting Monday night by one man present, who predicted that it would not be long before Pendleton would be a suburb of Walla Walla. This Is somewhat stretching the mat ter,, but the fact remains that Walla Walla Is commercially annexing large slice of. Umatilla county and the territory is being rapidly extended. Milton and Freewater might be said to be a part of Walla Walla, so closely allied are the Interests of the three towns, both commercially and socially. The few miles separating the Oregon towns from Walla Walla are being so rapidly built up that even, now It Is almost one continuous town from this city to Freewater. People of Milton and Freewater ere almost as much at home In Walla Walla as they are in their own towns and this condition will prevail In Wes ton and Athena with the extension of the interurban to those cities. Pendleton may well view with alarm the rapid growth that Walla Walla is making, due almost entirely to the public splritedness of her cit izens. If Pendleton Is to go ahead In stead of degenerating into a lifeless Inland town, her citizens will have to display a more generous spirit than they did at the meeting Monday night. false and misleading, and aro a part of the political campaign. Mr, Cake friends will not be. deceived and his friends number every republican the state. A SONG OF RK.UTV. I'm the Oh, sing me a song of beauty; tired of the stressful song, I'm weary of all the preaching, arguing right and wrong. I'm fain to forgot the adder that undo the leaf lies curled, And dream of the light and - beauty that gladdens the gray old world! Oh, sing of the emerald meadows that smile all day In the sun! The ripple and gleam or the rivers that on through the meadow run! Oh,' sing of the singing branches trees In the leafy woods, the balm for the heart that" hidden afar in the solitudes! And The birds let them sing In you singing and flash through th lines you write, The lark with his list In the morning, the nightingale charming the n,lght. The butterfly over the flowers that hovers on painted wing All these, let them brighten and lighten the beautiful song you sing! And let there be face of lovers, and let there be eyes that glow. And let there be tears of gladness In stead of the tears of woe. And let there be clinging kisses of Hps' for a time that part, But never a tristful shadow to darken a trustful heart! Ay, sing me a song of beauty away with the songs of strife! Away with the spectre of sorrow that saddens he most of life! Though under the leaf the adder of death and of doom lies curled, Oh, sing, for a space of the beauty that gladdens the gray old world! Dennis A. McCarthy In the New York Sun. H. M. Cake was nominated by the republicans of Oregon on a statement No. 1 platform; he stood firmly on that principle all through the contest; he stands upon that principle now and will continue to adhere to It through the campaign, after the campaign and always hereafter. He bellevas In It and recognizes that it is the coming political doctrine of the country. Re ports coming from his enemies to the effect that he has deserted or strad dled that principle are absolutely HARPER'S FERRY RESORT. From historic and scenic stand points this little village of Harper's Ferry Is of unusual Interest, says the Book of the Royal Blue. While the town Itself Is located in West Virgin la. It is in close proximity to the state of Maryland and Virginia, being sep arated from the former by the Poto mac river and from the latter by the Shenandoah river. It is built upon a hill known as "Bolivar Heights," and la overshadowed by mountains known as "London Heights" in Virginia, and Maryland Heights" in Maryland. Harper's Ferry Is a popular sum mer resort, being located on the main line of he Baltimore & Ohio railroad and Is reached within an hour and thirty minutes from Washington and about two hours from Baltimore. All through trains east and west stop here. t The hotels and cottages are well equipped and are so situated as to command unobstructed views of the rivers and country for miles around. Of the historic interests centered In and about this quaint village that in connection with the famous John Brown's raid Is probably the most re nowned. The site of the old fort Is marked only by the marker erected by the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, and the old Iron tablets placed by the government tell of Interesting achieve ments during the civil war. Jefferson's Rock, and the old churches and houses built In the hill sides, are still intact and are the cen ters of attraction to the newcomers. Farther up the Shenandoah river, on the Virginia side, John Brown's fort stands In a lonely field, where it was rebuilt on Its return from the Chi eaco world's fair. The Valley branch of the Baltl-. more & Ohio railroad extends from Harper's Ferry up the beautiful Shenandoah valley, wherein are lo cated many famous health and pleas ure resorts, It was In this valley that some of the bloodiest encounters of the civil war took place.

When the sticklers for propriety fuss ed over the literal Interpretation of Sunday laws, he dismissed the whole controversy with the bold declaration that "the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath." When the Jews boasted of the fact that they were Abraham's offspring, Christ asserted that God "could raise His children from stones." He scoff ed at the wisdom of the learned Pharisees and exalted the Innate'ln- tuition of the "little child." He de throned the national God of the He brews with His provincial follies and caprices and voiced Inter-occanlc re ligion by prefacing his prayer with 'our Father." Christ was the broadest thinker the worldThas ever known. Nothing could Intimidate him when truth was at stake. In one hand he held the sword to fight the dealers In shams in the other the torch to Illuminate the night. Brute force at last crushed this martyr of heaven. But even dying he prayed for bis Ignor ant persecutors and considered It a privilege to be crucified by a world which afterwards had to be civilized by his thoughts. Andreas Bard.
