Laugh, and the . world laughs
with you;
Weep, and you weep alone!
For the sad old earth must bor
row Its mirth.
But has trouble enough of
Its own.
S;ng, and the hills will answer;
Sigh, it Is lost on the air;
The echoes bound to a Joyful
sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and go.
They want" full measure of all
your pleasure,
But they do not need your
woe.
Be glad, and your friends are
many;
Be sad, and you lose them all.
There are none to dllne your
nectar'd wine,
But alone you must drink
life's gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowd
ed; Fast, and the world goes by.
Succeed and give, and It helps
you live,
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls of
pleasure
For a large and lordly train.
But .one by one we must all file
on 4
Through the narrow aisles of
pain. a)
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
QUESTIONS FOR PENDLETON.
If three combined harvesters can
be turned out in a few months in
Pendleton by a man with no means,
why cannot 50 machines be turned
out here in the course of a season,
by a company having plenty of
means? The manufacturer' of these
three machines has refused orders
beacuse he lacked capital and facili
ties fir turning out more machines.
If this condition existed in Spokane,
Walla Walla or any other northwest
city a factory would be t-.rtc ! ' :
cal capital within 24 hours. But
Pendleton is too prosperous, too' in
dependent. That is why we have no
pay roll. That is why we have no
.permanent laborers at work here
every' day In the year. Pendleton
ctpital simply will not get under the
proposition which would build up
Pendleton.
Why cannot Pendleton have a com
b'ned harvester factory? There is a
roarkf-t here for the machines. This
L: the market. The wheat belt sur
rrunds Pendleton. Freight bills would
be saved, a good payroll would be
built up here and there is no reason
why 50 men are not employed-here
In that industry.
Any one of the bank3 of Pendleton :
could finance this enterprise and put
it on Its feet and could make a Jiand
Bome income from the investment.
The machines are wanted here. Or
ders have been refused this year be
cause the inventor and manufacturer,
working barehanded and alone, could
not turn out the orders.
Did anybody ever hear of Just such
another situation as is found in this
rich and fortunate city? Hundreds of
combined harvesters needed; plenty
of labor, skill and genius to invent
and manufacture the machines; plen
ty of idle capital In Pendleton banks
and yet harvesters are shipped 700
miles from Stockton, Cal., to this city
and county.
RETURNING GOOD TIMES.
As the railroads were the first tor
fall Into the financial slough of de
apond .last fall, there should be loud
rejoicing over the accumulating evi
dence of returning prosperity to the
transportation companies. . For ex
ample, the Los Angeles Express cites
the $100,000,000 bond issue of the
Union Pacific which has Just been ar-
i ranged by Mr. Harrlman.
A few montha ago that gentleman
petulantly replied to a modest inquiry
from a newspaper man: "Everybody
la trying to finance the Union Paci
fic." He further declared the com
pany only needed $25,000,000, but
added that the amount would be
doubled to resume development and
put people at work.
But this Incident, however, must
take a back seat while mention is
made of a remarkable tale from
Texas, In which prosperity and hard
times are strangely blended. The
railroads of the Lone Star state, with
a gravity of demeanor which the oc
casion seemed to justify, have report
ed that their gross earnings have de
creased J S. 000,000 in the past nine
months. This Is a big pile of money
t" lose, but half of It has been found
by the Texas railroad commission.
That able body of public officials say
thaf 60 per cent of this alleged de
crease Is a mere figment of Imagina
tion, a hallucination due to the new
system of bookkeeping ordained and
established by the Interstate com
merce commission.
This saving of $4,000,000 should
encourage the Texas railroads to face
their burdens with less gloom and de
pression of spirit and they should re
gard it as an omen of returning pros
perity. Incidentally it might be re
marked that if the Texas railroad
commission ever finds Itself out of a
Job there should be no dificulty in
finding ready employment In Wall
street.
MONEY TALKS.
A. S. Tearson, the well knowr.
Freewater real estate dealer and
promoter of the electric lines in that
vicinity, told the East Oregonlan a
little prohibition story while In the
city this week which is worth re
peating. It U a plain business story;
a story of dollars and cents. There
is no sentiment In It Mr. Pearson Is
not a sentimental man. He is not a
prohibitionist.
But he has been "shown" a few
things by the result of prohibition in
Freewater.
! When Freewater had three saloona
and was run wide open Mr. Pearson
had three buildings rented in that
town at $38.50- per month, each. He
like many others, thought that per
haps -prohibition would "kill" Free
water and was naturally opposed to
the prohibition movement because
he felt that It was the best policy I)
license saloons and make them help
pay expenses. And he thought it was
good business sense to have them.
But how ho don't believe that way.
Since the saloons have been abolished
in Freewater the rent on Mr. Pear
sin's three buildings has Increased
until today he is receiving $70 per
month for the same buildings which
two years ago with three saloons in
the town were only bringing him
$3S.50 per month.
So he has lost all faith in the loud
assertions of saloon men and certain
wavering business men, that prohibi
tion "kills" a town. '
And In that same vicinity where
two and three years ago with saloons
in Freewater, land was selling for
from $40 to $75 per acre in the irri
gated belt, land is now selling for
from $150 to $300 and $400 per acre.
It is the same land, the same town,
the same county and state.
Money talks. Let us "get busy."
CARLYLE ON OREGON POLITICS.
The Catholic Sentinel of Portland,
says some pertinent things on the po
litical reformation of Oregon and
quotes that arch-philosopher, Thomas
Carlyle, to support Us assertions.
The Sentinel quotes the following
paragraph from Carlyle's French
Revolution:
"Know this also, that out of a world
of unwise nothing but uriwlsdom can
bo made. Arrange it, contsltutlon
build it, sift It through ballot boxes
6s thou wilt, It Is and remains an un
wisdom, the new prey of new quacks
and unclean things, the latter end of
It slightly better than the beginning.
Who can bring a wise thing out of
unwisdom? Not. one."
And then the Portland paper ap
plies this to Oregon politics in the fol
lowing pointed manner:
The voters of Oregon on June 1
adopted a number of measures de
signed to retain Ip the people a great
er amount of political power than they
have heretofore enjoyed.
Back of this legislation and much
other legislation adopted in Oregon
during the past few years, Is an hon
est protest against machine politics
and the betrayal of the people by a
corrupt gang. This spirit of revolt
against Intolerable conditions cannot
be too highly commended.
But bound up with this legislation
there 1 also to be found a fallacy.
This fallacy consists In believing that
evil political conditions can be en
tirely reformed by legislative enact
ment In omitting from, the program
of reform all Insistence on the neces
sity of Individual morality Legisla
tive reform must remain a one-sided
movement until combined with moral
reform.
The French revolution . offers the
classic example of failure in mere
legislative reform. We have prefixed
to these remarks Carlylo's explana
tion of that historic failure.
APPLE TREES ON BROADWAY.
One of the few remaining monu
mental trees of New Tork stands In
Grace Church yard, at Broadway and
Tenth street. It is an old common
country applo tree, but It keeps green
the memory of one Mynheer Brevoort,
Dutchman and farmer. Nearly 100
years ago the Brevoort acres spread
out where the church now stands
When New York began to stretch
out the city planned a straight thor
oughfare and named it Broadway.
The surveyors got as far as Tenth
street, wnerc their progress was
stopped by the Brevoort gate. "Keep
off my land!" shouted old Brevoort
in most forclbkle Dutch, confronting
them with a dog and a stick. The
surveyors scaled the fence and
marched off through the next man's
field to the left.
The result was that the plans for a
straight main thoroughfare were un
made by old Brevoort's threatening
stick and tongue. That is why there
is a bend In the street at this point.
and why a man is kept there greasing
the trolley slot, why teamsters tug
their reigns and speeding automobiles
slow up!
Grace church came Into possession
of the land In later years and in grat
itude the churchmen are preserving
the old tree to commemorate Bre
voort's memory.
THE n.RnER COMPLIED.
Old Grumps was wont to boast that
he knew how to "knock the breath
out of a barber." and thus Insure a
quiet shave. Qf late, however, he
has said remarkably little about his
"infallible system," and perhaps the
following little Incident has something
to do with his silence.
The other afternoon he entered a
strange barber's shop, flopped down
In the vacant chair and following his
usual custom handed a printed card
to the "mug polisher." This Is how
It read:
Hints to the Barber.

I want a shave.
I don't want my hair cut.
I don't want a shampoo.
I don't want a massage.
I've a mole on my chin.
Another on my top lip.
I don't want telling about "cm.
I don't want talking to death.
I want a shave and silence.
The barber read the "hints," smil
ed, and when he nodded to a conspic
uous notice on the wall, Grumps near
ly fainted. Here's a copy of It:
Notice.
"The proprietor, being deaf and
dump, hopes his customers will ex
cuse any seeming reluctance to enter
Into conversation."
THE PESSIMIST,
Nothing to do but work;
Nothing to cat but food:
Nothing to wear but clothes;
To keep one from going nude.
Nothing to breathe but air;
-Quick a9 a flash 'tis gone,
Nowhere to fall but off;
Nowhere to stand but on.
Nothing to comb but hair;
. Nowhere to sleep but bed;
Nothing to weep but tears;
Nothing to bury but dead.
Nothing 'to sing but songs;
Ah, well, Alas. Alack!
Nowhere to go but out;
Nowhere to come but back.

MoOisJIn on Trial.
The trial of W. D. McCaslin, who
was arrested In Spokane for the mur
der of E. F. Zaspell In Wasco county,
Oregon, was taken up In the district
court at Heppner Thursday.
Saloon Men Fined.
Four saloon men of Colton were
fined J50 and costs each In the Justice
court there Thursday for keeping
their saloons open Sunday.
The Farmer's Wife
b very careful about her churn. She
scalds it thoroughly after using, and gives
It a sun bath 'o sweeten it. She knows
that If her cu :ru is sour it will taint the
butter that Is nade in It. The stomach Is
a churn. In :.!! stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro
cesses which are almost exactly like the
churning of letter. Is It not apparent
then that If this stomach-churn is foul It
makes foul all which is put Into It?
The evil of a foul stomach Is not alone1
the bad taste In the mouth and the foul
breath caused by It, but tho corruption of
the pure current of blood and the dissem
ination of disease throughout the body.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
makes the sour and foul stom.u'h sweet
It does for the stomach what tho washing
and sun bath do for tho churn absolutely
removes every tainting or corrupting ele
ment. In this way It cures blotches,
pimples, eruptions, scrofulous swellings,
sores, or open eating ulcers and all
humors or diseases arising from bad blood.
If you have bitter, nasty, foul taste In
your mouth, coated tongue, foul breath,
are weak and easily tired, foel depressed
and despondent, ha ve frequent headaches,
dizzy attacks, gnawing or distress in stom
ach, constipated or irregular bowels, sour
or bitter risings after eating and poor
appetite, these symptoms, or any consider
able number of them, indicate that you are
suffering from biliousness, torpid or lazy
liver with the usual accompanying Indi
gestion, or dyspepsia and their attendant
derangements.
The best agents known to medical sci
ence for the cure of the above symptoms
and conditions, as attested by tho writings
of leading teachers and practitioners of
all the several schools of medical practice,
have been skillfully and harmoniously
combined In Dr, i'lerce's Golden Medical
Discovery. That this Is absolutely true
will be readily proven to your satisfaction
If you will but mall a postal card request
to Dr. E. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., for a
Tree copy of his booklet of extracts from
the standard medical authorities, giving
the names of all the Ingredients entering
Into his world-famed medicines and show
ing what the most eminent medical
of the age sty f them.

ANY remedy that benefits digestion
strengthens tho nerves.
The nerve centers require nutrition.
If the digestion Is impaired, the nerve
centers become anemic, and indigestion
is tho result.
Peruna h not a nervine nor a
stimulant It benefits the nerves by
benefiting digestion.
Peruna frees the stomach of catarrhal
congestions and normal digestion la the
result.
In other words, Peruna goes to the
bottom of the whole difficulty, when
the disagreeable symptoms disappear.
Mrs. J. C.Jamison, 01 March ant street,

'I was troubled with my stomach for
