And spoiling and building again. And I long for the dear old river. Where I dreamed my youth away. For a dreamer lives forever, And a toller dies In a day. I am sick of the showy seeming Of a life that is half a lie. Of the faces lined with schem ing In the throng that hurries by; From the sleepless thoughts endeavor I would go where the child ren play For a dreamer lives forever. And a thinker dies In a day. John Boyle O'Reilly. STATEMENT NO. 1. For the second time In the great and progressive state of Oregon, the principle of the popular election of United States senators has been em ohatlcally indorsed by the people. In the next legislature, at least 52 state ment Xo. 1 members will hold office, a majority of five for popular election of senators. The republicans of Oregon have had ample warning on this subject If the party is to remain In power It must get Into the band wagon with the people. It cannot stand in the attitude of being afraid to trust the people and still win. Had Senator Fulton Indorsed the popular election of senators and statement Xa 1 In his Corvallis speech, outlining his policy, last fall. .ho would have swept the state and would now be the nominee of the peo- . pie of Oregon for the senate. As it was he rc-pudiated that prin ciple. b fie 1 the people in a sense, and consequently turned the state over to a democratic wave which has elected the nf-xt United States senator. The statement No. 1 members will elect Governor George E. Chamber lain next winter within 40 minutes after assembling for the senatorial election. Neither disruption, corrup tion, bribery, crookedness or preju dice can swerve these men from their purpose. They have given their pledge. There Is no reason in the world why a republican should not be elect ed to the senate from Oregon. It Is a republican state, has plenty of re publican timber, and should be repre sented by republicans. But the leading republicans of the state have defied the people's wishes, . have sought to thwart progress, to ' hold the state In the hollow of the hand of a few leaders, and the result Is that'lt is now a democratic state, and such It will remain until repub licans get right on a number of big Issues now agitating the sovereign people of Oregon. and conducting fairs and sales for pay, thus Invading the business realm and people will soon say If It Is a busi ness Institution that It must bear Its share of taxes. ' And so the East Oregonlan sincere ly believes that within a few years, the billions of dollars of church property of the United States will be paying Its Just share of taxes in the support of the government. Where the church organizations take an active part In business, poll-i tics and the economic life of the na tion, they get away from the original conception of religion as held by those old patriots who exempted church property. The modern idea of religion has changed its status In government and so government will be forced to change Its attitude toward religion and Instead 'of exempting billions of dollars worth of magnificent property the government will say to this prop erty that It must bear an equal por tion of the burden of government. It Is also an economic waste to al low magnificent property In the heart of cities to escape taxation while the t41er with but a pittance, the .widow with a small home, the hard working tradesman with his meager Income, must all pay taxes to support govern ment. Justice and sound economic principles will be applied to this sub ject next, and It will be changed to suit changed conditions of society. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE A YD LEPROSY. HELP THE CITY COUNCIL. THE NEXT BIG REFORM. The next few years will see magni ficent reform work done In the United States. The country Is adopting pro hibition everywhere, simply because the liquor traffic Is an economic waste. Taxpayers have come to the conclusion that the income from the business does not offset the expense which It causes. And so, everywhere, In city and country, prohibition U being adopted and will be a permanent policy. It will be permanent simply because It pays. It is money In the pockets of taxpayers, as a whole. It keeps down expenses. The next great reform, after nation wide prohibition, will be the removal et the tax exemption from church property. The church is engaging In business everywhere, riving public en tertainments for pay, serving dinners The mayor and city council of Pen dleton are to be heartily congratulat ed upon the courageous manner In which they are meeting the new con ditions Imposed upon the city by pro hibition. The income from liquor li censes Is suddenly cut off leaving the city budget " woefully "short" tem porarily, but the condition will be met and disposed of. The taxpayers and business men must and will co-operate with the city council In devising means to meet expenses. The East Oregonlan, as one of the taxpayers of the city, as sures the city council of Its most hearty co-operation and will cheer fully pay whatever increased tax the new condition may Impose and It be lieves that It voices the sentiment of every other business institution and taxpayer in saying this. Pendleton Is here and Is going to stay here. This is our home and bus iness location. - Property Is worth as much today as It was yesterday or last month and conditions will adjust themselves. Ail that Is needed Is the cheerful and Intelligent co-operation of business men and property owners to successfully tide the city over the temporary confusion of conditions to safe, substantial and permanent fi nancial condition which will forever be independent of liquor licenses and tribute from vice. Let us encourage and co-operate with the city council. It Is a new and perplexing situation. For 40 years Pendleton and every other western town has depended upon the liquor license to meet expenses. But coun ties have not done this, and vast im provements have been made. States have not depended upon this source of taxation and think of the vast sys tems of state government maintain ed And so cities need not depend upon this source. The change will be con fusing, to be sure, since we have been accustomed to the old way so long, but everj' good citizen will do his part In helping adjust conditions. Pendle ton Is the best town In the inland empire arid will remain such. Let every Pendleton man be a pat riot, be loyel, fair-minded citizen and soon conditions will be settled and the present predicament will be laugh ed at. "The Journal of Man" reprints the following from Dr. George W. . Bar rett b account of his cure. As this has been alluded to briefly In the news columns, it is well to get the en tire story clearly In mind, as It shows that so-called miracles are still pos sible. rr. Barrett declares that he was "a physical wreck, suffering from en largement of the liver, Indigestion, ulceration of the bowels In the most aggravated form, heart trouble and that most dreaded of all diseases called leprosy, which had been con tracted when called to see a patient who was afflicted with It. "I kept my own counsel and pre pared to settle up my earthly affairs, for I felt that my days were few. Then a former patient of mine said she had been cured by Christian Sci ence and urged me to try It. Having failed In the use of the strongest medicines. I scoffed at the Idea she presented, but finally consented to an Interview with the healer who had treated her. Well do I remember that Interview, the first question I asked was: 'Do you pretend to say that Christian .science can cure all diseases without any medicine whatever? Her answer was: "I do, sir, and I am hPr to demonstrate and prove It to you.' I told her I had telegraphed to New York for some medicine, but that If sue wanted to experiment on . me while waiting for it she could sail In; that I had to die but once and she could do no more thap kill me, and I would Just as soon die ns not, for death would be preferable to the con diton I was then In. "She gave me a treatment, and talked with me for an hour or more. As she was going to leave. I Inqured about my diet what would she rec ommend me to eat, etc., as I had not dared to eat any solid food for months. She laughed and said: 'Just e.u anytning you like and all want of it; It cannot hurt you. :oon after she left the pain be gan to disappear and In the course of half an hour It was all gone and I began to feel hungry. By the time dinner was ready (Just an hour and a nair from the time she left) I was as hungry as a bear that has been 'holed up' all winter. -But I did not dare say anything as my family were Ignorant of what had been done, nnd knew I was opposed to anything of th Unrf i "When I sat down to the table I said to myself, 1 am going to see if you( the scientist) can keep this din ner from hurting me.' Boiled beef, cabbage, turnips, potatoes, onions! pickles, bread and butter disappeared as If by magic, and I finished with a quarter of a good-sized pie and a cup of coffee. In fact, I ate till I could eat no more. The pain failed to ap. pear and never has appeared from that day to this. Other signs of len- orsj naa nearly vanished and words could not express my feelings of iov and gladness." you Put This Stove In Your Kitchen T ! J. j..

They stripped me bare and left me by the way To p'ne forsaken In a lonely land: They gave me to night frosts and burning day, To griefs none understand. They took my sliver from me and my gold. The changing splendors of my rich array; Night's silver rain of dew escaped their hold, And the find gold of day. On the world's highway In vain pomp they tread; By paths unknown I stray and hid den streams; They took all else and left me there for dead; . They could not take my dreams. Htlll morning comes with marvel as of old; Still in soft rose descends the even tide; Still In the castle of my heart, grown bold. The sweet swift thoughts abide. Pass by, pass by, O cjamorous folk and wild! To this last fortress of the soul I cling; Men game me Winter weather from a child; But God has given me Spring. Robin Flower In Spectator. MAX WITH MOXKEY WREXCH. Thre Is somebody else besides the man ' Who sits at the steering wheel And sends along on its mad career The merry and 'mobile. , When the car is stopped with a brok. en spring. Or skids in a ditch to stay. Oh: then the man with the monkey wrench Is the hero who saves the day The chauffeur looks at the cheering crowd With a calm and a haughty face. Away he files like a' shooting star In the dust of the whirlwind race. Dut a tire may burst or n cylinder crack, And he goes to sit on the bench. While the man of the hour, the man of .power, Is the man with the monkey wrench. New Tork Press. Ate Mutches. Velma V. Smith, 3 years old, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard E.
