The good green trail. around the
earth,
The god green trail for me.
With field and wood and open
plain
And the wild coasts of the sea.
The good green trail that leads
and lures
From peak to vale and on
Across the twilight and the
noon,
Across the night and dawn;
The goodjgreen trail of bloom
and Dnar,
The soul's delight, the heart's
desire.

AS TO MR. CAKE.
The Dalles Optimist has said and
the Oregonian and Oregon Daily
Journal have repeated It, that H. M.
Cake Is not senatorial timber, that he
has twice forced himself upon the peo
pie of Oregon as ar senatorial candi
date and that It Is time to squelch
him.
Let us see. The republicans of Or
egon selected Mr. Cake as their choice
for United States senator over Charles
W. Fulton, "the best United States
senator Oregon ever had," In the
words of the Optimist. If Mr. Ful
ton was "the best ever," why was Ms.
Cake selected in his stead by the re
publicans? Was not Mr. Cake still
better, in the estimation of the repub
licans of Oregon, despite the snarls
and growls and grouches of Mr. Ben
nett, editor of the Optimist?
Mr. Cake has the same right to
.-Hand for senator that Fulton, Lowell,
Smith or Bourne had. Under the di
rect primary law any man may run
for office and the people must select
their choice. Mr. Cake knowing this,
made the race and gracefully submit
ted to the will of the . people after
having been selected by his party over
"the best senator," Fulton.
And the best part of It Is today that
H. M. Cake is not pouting over the
result of the election. Although Ful
ton republicans turned against their
party and elected a demoorat to "get
even" on Mr. Cake, yet he is taking
the result manfully and Is heartily
supporting the republican presidential
ticket and will make an active cam
paign In the state for this ticket.
He has prove! that he is a man of
good sense, solid character and broad
guagp sentiments and will not stoop
to knife a political opponent and elect
a democrat to get even. Can the Ore
gonian or Bennett of the Dalles Op
tiRiist, say as much?
Between Mr. Cake, who Is now and
has always supported the republican
ticket and the Fulton following which
knifed Mr. Cake and elected a demo
cratic senator, which best represents
republican principles? Which Is
"senatorial timber?"
THE "ROOSEVELT CHOICE."
It Is safe to say that no other Indi
vidual In American politics ever ex
erted the same power'and Influence
that President Theodore Roosevelt
has exerted while chief executive of
the nation. Everything Is subject to
the "Roosevelt choice."
Taft was "the Roosevelt choice" for
the presidency; Knox Is the Roose
velt choice" for the United States su
preme bench; this man and that man
has been "the Roosevelt choice" ever
since Roosevelt mounted the bridge
and took charge of the ship of state.
And the best thing about it Is that
"the Roosevelt choice' has, so far,
proved to be about as near right as it
was possible to get He has made
confoundedly few serious mistakes.
His wisdom equals his aggressiveness,
a feature seldom found in a man of
the Roosevelt type. He is seldom re
quired to "back up" on any choice
which he makes.
He reorganized the Panama canal
commission and management to suit
himself and the work has proceeded
with more rigor than ever. He clean.
ed out the portofflce department and
placed It on a working basis. He got
after the land and timber syndicates
and threw a wall of protection about
the priceless resources of the nation.
He called the governors together to
discuss the preservation of forests,
water power and public lands find
started a movement which will "be a
blessing to coming generations.
The Roosevelt way Is a peculiarly
practical and appropriate way and for
a man of Intense energy and ceaseless
activity, he has made precious few
mistakes. His administration will go
down In history as one worthy of spe
cial mention. He has mado history.
INCREASING TONNAGE.
Increasing tonnage is an Inevitable
accompaniment of Increased transpor
tation facilities. There Is no argu
ment In the statement often made that
the tonnage on the navigable rivers of
the United States is Insignificant. It
Is a statement of a fallacy. It Is a
certain that tonnage will follow the
avenue of transportation, as It is cer
tain that where there is no avenue
there can be no tonnage.
There was no tonnage overland be
fore the great railways were construct
ed, even though it were true that the
inland waterway tonnage Is Insignifi
cant and It Is not true there would
come tonnage to the inland waterway
ii increasing volume with each year
because of the cheapness, the certain
ty and the safety which waterway
transportation always provides.
The inland waterways of Prussia
unimproved and the same waterways
Improved show that tonnage inevita
bly "follows the Improved waterway.
There could be no more striking Il
lustration of the fact than the official
figures submitted to the Prussian diet,
during the course of thb present year,
and quoted by Consul General Guen
ther, of Frankfort, In a recent report
to the department of commerce and
labor.
According to the figures presented
to the diet there were 9,823,363 metric
tons carried on the Rhine In 1906.
With the completion of the Improve
ment of that river, there were 24,753,-
075 metric tons carried in 1907. On
the Elbe there were carried 3,580,259
metric tons In 1906 and 7,362,500 In
19r The Oder carried 1,409,731
metric tons In 1906 and 3,068,984 In
1907, while with the Improvement of
the "Waterways of the Mark" near
Berlin,-no less than 12,231,675 metric
tons were carried through the locks of
the Improved waterway In that year
the first of the Improvement.
The figures quoted from the report
form a complete answer to the falla
cious objection that the tonnage of
the Inland waterway Ms Insignificant
Tonnage follows the Improved Inland
waterway and all experience demon
strates the fact. The advantages which
trade and commerce possesses in Prus
sia are In the fact that the improve
ment of the Inland waterways of the
kingdom is begun and carried on un
der a definite plan as part of the fixed
policy of the government, with appro
priations for the work finding place
In the annual appropriation budgets,
not only without objection in the diet
but with commendation, and appreci
ation of the Immeasurable benefits to
trade and commerce arising from the
adonUon of the system.
That Is the system advocated for
the United States by the National
Rivers and Harbors congress. It Is
the only system under which the work
o? Improvement of waterways can be
carried on and completed, and It Is
the spstfcm which has received the
unqualified endorsement of the great
commercial and Industrial organiza
tions of the country.
PENDLETON'S ORATORS.
It Is significant to note that Pen
dleton is furnishing three Fourth of
July orators for the three 'principal
Fourth of July celebrations of eastern
Oregon Congressman Ellis for La
Grande, Judge Stephen A. Lowell for
Josephand Rev. W. H. Bleakney for
Pilot Rock.
This Is a compliment to the city of
Pendleton which is fully appreciated
by her people.
There ls. much larger proportion
of good lawyers, good orators and
eloquent speakers in Pendleton than
li: Portland, according Jo population.
When there Is a difficult and im
portant law suit anywhere in eastern
Oregon, one or more Pendleton at
torneys take part in it. When a stir
ring lecture ts desired In eastern Or
egon, a Pendleton lecturer is called
upon, and when a rousing Fourth of
July celebration is pulled off In this
section a Pendleton man usually de
livers the principal address.
This is a part of the work of the
city, a part of her mission In the
community life of Oregon. She is
proud of her business and profession
al men who make the Pendleton
spirit
By the end of the present year there
will be at least It private irrigation
pumping plants In Umatilla county.
These plants average about eight
horse power each and would consumo
several thousand gallons of denatur
ed alcohol If It were available In large
quantities and at reasonable cost.
Pendleton's brewery plant could find
a good market for Us product right
here at home, should It be converted
Into a denatured alcohol manufactur
ing plant.'
WHAT WALTER DAMROSCH
THINKS OF MISIC.
The Whitman Pioneer says of Wal
ter Damrosch and his talk on music
at Whitman college, recently. Dam
rosch said:
"Musicians never grow old. I
would advise each one of you young
people to cultivate the art of music,
for it will keep you young. Years
mean nothing to a musician because
of the divine art of music.
Music expresses battle, but battles
of a different sort from those waged
by the great military leaders and he
roes. Battles of music are of the soul,
they are spiritual battles; waged In
other and higher regions than those
of 32-lnch guns.
Beethoven was the man who
brought symphonic music to its high
est perfection, and Beethoven's cen
tury marked the highest development
of this kind of mus!c. The age of
Wagner is one of dramatic music.
Wagner sought to weld music, panto
mime, dramatic action and scenery
Into a musical drama. He turned
away from stereotyped form ami
sought for something fresher, origi
nal and natural. The Wagnerian or
chestral music Is music of perpetual
melody.
Mf. Damrosch then proceeded to
speak of music as an educational fac
tor. "It Is the highest and noblest of
all aesthetic studies. Music has great
value as a life work, for It will be a
life to overflowing. There Is no rec.
rention so soul-refreshing after the
humdrum of daily life as music. It
is the greatest developer of home life.
drawing the family together as noth
ing else will. What would be
thought of a man or woman who did
not know Shakespeare, Byron, Keats,
Shelley or Dante? A knowledge of
these is thought essential, but Schu
mann and Beethoven should be as
well known to the cultured person.
"Music feeds the Inner life of the
soul more satisfactorily than do any
of the other arts. Symphonic music
is like metal. The deeper you dig
Into It the richer It Is found to be.
The Germans are great lovers of
symphonic music, and we often find
German families who can assemble
an orchestra among the various mem
bers, and who spend their spare time
In playing the symphonies of Beetho.
ven and Schumann.
"Wherever I go In my wanderings,
in which I am like the 'Flying Dutch
man,' I find enthusiastic teachers de
veloping in Intellectual nnd enthusi
astic Interest In symphonic music, so
that when the symphony orchestra
come, they find the way paved and nn
enthusiastic audience awaiting them."
Mr. Damrosch followed his talk by
playing the "Love Song" from Wag
ner's "Volkerle."
THE LIGHTS OF HOME.
Pilot, how far from home?
Not far, not far tonight;
A flight of spray, a sea bird's flight.
A flight of tossing foam, .
And then the lights of home.
And yet again how far?
Seems you the way so brief?
Those lights beyond the rolling reef
Were lights of moon and star,
Far, far, none knows how far!
Pilot, how far from home?
The great stars pass away
Before Him as a flight of spray,
Moons ns a flight of foam!
I see the lights of home.

Success Magazine,
The management of the Alaska-
Yukon-Pacific exposition Is already
taking steps to provide against extor
tion of visitors while In Seattle to see
the big fair during the summer of
1909.. Seattle easily' took care of
about 200,000 during the stay of the
Atlantic fleet and at no time during
the exposition period will there be as
many visitors In the city at once.
