,UN'ON,VLABEL
I built a palace broad . and
high
Its stately walls were fair to
see;
The sunshine lingered, passing
by,
The waiting birds all sang to
me.
Within what treasures, rich
and rare!
What friends assembled by
my side!
Oh, life was full, and life was
fair
My heart and soul were sat
isfied. One night the low gray clouds
all wept;
The furious winds all raved"
and tore
With plucking hands, and while
I slept
My castle crumWed to the
floor.
I woke to find my garden fair
The center of an angry
stream;
My friends were gone I know
not where:
Mine was the palace of a
Dream!

York Sun.
HELP ONE ANOTHER.
The records of Umatilla county
show that during the last year surety
bends to the amount of J2S5.300 have
been signed in this county. These
bonds have been distributed among
65 persons and average $2120 per
capita for those Interested. This
shows more clearly than any other
argument the faith which men repose
ii: their brothers and It shows to what
extent men are trusted and esteemed
by their friends.
These surety bonds are only a part
of the obligations which men impose
ujon themselves for their friends.'
This does not Include thousands of
r i.tes which have been signed. In
which men freely pledge their honor
ar.d their property to help their
friends.
After all, It is a pretty good world.
With all its selfishness it still has
worlds of genuine fraternity and fel
lowship. It still possesses genuine
philanthropy and brotherhood, not
withstanding its cha.e after the dol
lars.
This record Is one of the most in
spiring written in the county during
the year.
more than the benefit of the doubt
It- Is a terrible thing to convict a
man on weak circumstantial evidence.
There are always circumstances In
every event which men cannot satis
factorily explain. There are connect
ing links which seem to be convinc
ing and conclusive, but which sonw
slight turn of fortune may wipe out.
Juries assume a tremendous re
sponsibility when they take the life of
a man into their hands. No matter
how atrocious the crime, no matter
how convincing the circumstantial
evidence, It Is a fearful thing to send
a man to the gallows or to prison If
there Is the least doubt as to the sub
stantial character of the evidence.
Innocent men are often enmeshed
i;i circumstantial evidence which
seems to be most substantial. But
fr.ink of the fate of an innocent man
who may be condemned wrongfully!
It is better that a criminal should go
free than that an mnocent man
should be punished on flimsy evi
dence. The murder of the Portland pawn
broker and the subsequent arrest of
a once cultured and highly educated
army officer who had fallen into the
Iqwest rut through the use of drugs,
give rise to, serious thoughts on cir
cumstantial evidence.
The murder of a highly respected
Walla Walla woman and the subse
quent arrest of three brothers who
are suspicloned of being the murder
ers, causes one to think seriously be
fore condemning the criminal without
first securing unmistakable evidence.
Strange things happen. Murderers
are shrewd and skillful and are able
to cover up trails and mislead offi
cials. And Innocent men found in
compromising situations, unable to
satisfactorily explain details which
may puzzle the law. are too often
railroaded" to prison.
No matter how brutal the crime
unless there is direct evidence. Juries
should hesitate long before sacrificing
a man's life or liberty to glut the law
But where there Is direct evidence
there should be no mincing of words
l.i meting out full justice.

CURBSTONE CURIOS.
If ever any poor sinner got his Just
!e.erts, the curbstone curios, or
knockers, got theirs at the real estate
men's banquet and meeting last night.
It was agreed by all present at the
meeting that no legitimate business
man or honorable citizen ever does
a'.y knocking, but It was agreed that
. a species of knockers exists In every
community and one of the by-laws of
the real estate men's organization Is
t- search these out and run them
down and hush them up or shame
them out of the country.
There will be less knocking In fu
ture than there has been in the past,
because every business man will now
have his ears open for these para
sites and will brand them In big let
ters and the parasites know It and so
will not carry their hammers expos
ed to view.
If the good fellowship and excel
lent spirit of last night's meeting does
nothing more than to silence the
knocker, the meeting will have borne
good fruits. If the curbstone curio
can be eliminated by the splendid
harmony which marked last night's
meeting, that will be sufficient reward.
FOR THE CRIMINAL.
Two or three mysterious murders
iu the northwest in the last few days
will test the laws of evidence to their
utmost The criminal is entitled to
Justice and the suspected man, accus
ed of a terrible crime la entitled to
THE GREATEST COUNTRY.
The East Oregonlan has always
prided itself on the fact that the
r-eusnaoers of a country are the
greatest and most persistent boosters,
This has been a sort of professional
conceit possessed perhap by every
newspaper.
But that conceit has been knocked
sky-high by the booster meeting and
banquet of last night In this city
Tho real estate men can give tne
newspapers cards and spades In
boosting: contest and then win the
honors without a struggle.
It Is safe to say that the real estate
men or Lmauna couiuy are uiu--i
together and better acquainted today
following their meeting, than ever be
fore In the history of the county,
And the business men of this city
know the sentiment In different parts
r,t rh rrmntv better than ever be
fore.
The booster meeting was simply a
heart to heart talk among neighbors
and co-workers for the county's good
and the bet of spirit prevailed.
Every- section of the county was rep
resented and every one present was
convinced again for the thousandth
iim th.nt T'matilla county Is the
greatest country on earth.
The eulogistic talks from different
representatives of outside points were
revelations to many. The resources
of the county were set out in a new
lizht. Pendleton has a new view of
the county, a new undertaking of the
resources and capabilities today and
it Is safe to sty will do far more than
her share to exploit every portion of
the county In he east.
Sunshine surpassing that of San
Diego, the boasted sunshine city of
the new world; vineyards surpassing
those of Andalusia; peach orchards
greater and more productive than
those of Italy's richest valleys; olive
gToves surpassing those of the Seln;
dairy farms that will outstrip Hol
land's boasted possessions and flow
er gardens more gorgeous than those
of Pasadena alt are to be found in
the future Paradise of the Inland em
pire, western Umatilla and northern
UmaUlla county.
If you don't believe this, ask the
real estate men.
One of the follies of the age Is to
believe that money Is necessary to
happiness and enjoyment But the
falsity of this sentiment is shown
every day In the poor men who keen
ly enjoy life and who find in their
families, their books, their work, their
little homes a higher enjoyment than
Is known to money-mad fanatics who
think great wealth means great hap
piness and enjoyment. It Is the mind
and soul of the man that determines
the degree of enjoyment which he
gets out of, life.

TO FIGHT FOREST FIRES.
A recent government bulletin says
that one of the most Important eco
nomic movements of the day about
which the general public has yet
learned little is the concerted action
of owners of timber In different parts
of the country In organizing associa
tions to protect their holdings from
fire.
In the Pacific northwest, the Wash
ington Forest Fire association has
Just elected officers at Seattle and
begun work for the year with 3,000,
000 acres under Its care. The plan
Include a system of patrol by rangers
resembling the work done by the
United States forest service in guard
lng against and extinguishing fires.
Organizations of similar kind and
for a like purpose are at work in
Oregon and Idaho. In the latter state
a portion of the expense Is borne by
taxation and paid from the state treas
ury. A western railroad company
which holds large tracts of timber has
taken steps to guard Its property from
fire, and daring the short time that
its plans have been in operation, It
has met with most encouraging suc
cess.
Similar work is being done on the
other side of the continent. Forest
owners In Maine have gone to work
In the same systematic way to con
trol the forests' great enemy, fire.
Like organizations are found In oth
er parts of the country, showing how
fully it is now realized that protec
tion against fire Is of the greatest Im
portance.
It Is safe to say that fires in this
country have destroyed more timber
than lumbermen have cut. When
timber was abundant, the waste pass
ed unnoticed almost, but now that
a scarcity Is at hand and an actual
wood famine threatens in the near
future, the owners of fprest lands are
waking up and taking action to save
what Is left.

"There never was a squaw quarrel
ing with her husband on the Hudson
river, but what the price of beaver
was raised thereby." Carlyle.
Which part do I play In the drama
of history? Am I trying to empha
size my own petty notions, or am I
aiming to make clear, even in my
humble station of life, the will of God?
Verily, I am not able to say what is
great and what is small; I am not
competent to measure the exact rela
tion betwixt effect and cause.
For all I know, my little life may
be of Infinite Importance- The kind
word I speak today may be echoed
forever In the hearts of my fellow
men. The arrow you shot in the air
may be found In an oak tree. Aye, I
know that not even physlclally the
sound of human words was lost, that
the speech of Anthony delivered at
the burial of Caesar is even now vi
brating through the air. How about
spiritual results? Oh how solemn
appears life In this light! Infinite
results, unfathomable effects of my
every word, my every action! God s
battle is being fought, God's kingdom
Is being prepared and millions
sleep: Not knowing why they are
here or using as a toy their Immortal
souls.
I desire to stand for something In
life. I wish to feel that for the fact
I have been here, the world has
grown a little wiser, a little better,
wish to justify God for having created
me. Andreas Bard.
COURT OF BROKEN HEARTS.
Prompted by the success of the
court of Broken Hearts, so called,
which it has been conducting for
some time past, the Educational al
liance has suggested through its legal
aid department, the establishment
by the municipality of a "domestic re
lations court," says a New York Item.
In such a court, the alliance thinks
more time could be given to the hear
ing of family troubles than In the
present courts and through the pro
posed tribunal's operations much suf
fering and misunderstanding might
be averted.
The alliance, through Its present
Informal and strictly unofficial court
manages to straighten out scores of
little family differences, preventing In
many cases desertions and divorce.
In the moglstratea' courts, where
such cases are now heard, there is no
time to listen to apparently petty
troubles. A husband who has desert
ed his wife la held in ball or sent to
Jail. His family loses his support and
frequently becomes demltute.
Kllltxl hi HI Garden.
Vlnvent Carllno, an Italian garden
er, was robbed and murdered In the

night. The body was found on the
street In the morning and Investiga

through the heart. Marks on the
body Indicated that his money belt
had been stolen.
