CAN YOl' ANSWER?
If a dozen bunches of alfalfa will
grow and thrive on the top of the
highest knoll la sight of Pendleton,
making an excellent growth in a sea
son like this has been, with a mini
mum amount of moisture, why will
not 100, or 1000 or 10.000 acres of this
hardy plant thrive equally as well on
similar land?
It seems that all that is lacking to
convert much of the cheaper grade of
wheat land intj alfalfa land, produc
ing two crops per year, without irri
gation, is the farmer with the nerve
and good Judgment to plant the alfal
fa seed.
And If a dozen or 20 winter apple
trees will bear excellent fruit of fine
color, flavor and quality, on the high,
dry foothills and sides of the Blue
mountains n-.ar Pendleton, why will
not 10.000 trees do likewise under
similar conditions?
When people answer these questions
satUf.ietorily, they will have solved
the Industrial question of the dry land
tel:. Everything Is favorable to di
versified farming if only people will
try it.
ADVERTISING OKEGOX.
Oregon's superb resources in land,
livestock, timber and mining are not
the only attractive advertisements be
ing sent out by the state.
These material things are attracting
thousands who are seeking homts and
who desire to make money.
Put the progressive laws of Oregon
are attracting a higher and better
Class of citizens with an Ideal govern
ment, with a conviction that all politi
cal power Is lodged with the people.
The popular election of United
States senators, the Initiative and ref
erendum and the direct primary laws
are attracting more substantial and
thoughtful people to Oregon than all
the Tambuoyant advertisements Of
gold mines, fruit lands or city prop
erty. Every leading paper in the United
States has said something about the
Oregon p'.in of government In which
the common people figure conspicu
ously. Most of the more moderate
and sensible papers say something fa
vorable about the Oregon plan and
commend this progressive plan to the
consideration of the people every
where. fThe Duluth Herald, a strong and In-
lentlal republican paper of Duluth,
aifnn., U the last to take up the dls
fcisslon of the Oregon plan and says of
The outcome of the "Orepon plan"
jojfj bringing the selection of United
flutes senators close to the people has
fciused some perturbation and alarm
Hrjiong strong partisans, and no doubt
KHe fact that H will compel a republi-
kJJn legislature torflect a democratic
initiator, or ref ife' to fjand by Its
Brdges to the people will make re-
blican partisans In stabyice Mln
sota very reluctant lotaka it up.
However, thelj (a oMnterho all
htie amazed protests of partisans that
u certain to alienee therte atTeaatjio
- as public utterance It qoncerhed.
kat is the obUouiJfact rtkitfAhe
Oregon legislature electa as senator
the man chosen by the people, the
people wilt have had their will, and
that Is the object of a democratic
form 'of government.
The fact that members of one party
are required by this process to put Into
office a man of another party Is not
an argument against it. These mem
bers of the legislature arc public ser
vants, and it Is their duty to heed the
public's wishes when they are ex
pressed so clearly as they were in this
case.
While this country Is not yet In a
position to do away with party gov
ernment, party government will al
ways load to evil unless it is checked
by an alert and vigorous spirit of In
dependence. No party has ever yet
had inordinate power without abusing
It. It is to the abuses of partisanship
that this country owes most of the
vexing problems that beset It today,
and partisanship offers the strongest
resistance to the correction of these
evils.
The fathers formed a government
by the people, but control of that
government fell Into the hands of the
parties, and until recent years brought
the direct nomination system, the peo
ple had no control of parties. They
were controlled by rings, machines
and bosses. These powers needed
money to run campaigns with, and the
big business interests contributed It.
What more natural than that these
leaders, Interested In party and per
sonal success more than In their
country's good, should have nianipu-
lated the government In the Interests
of those who supplied the campaign
funds?
The direct election of United States
senators, either through constitutional
amendment or by some such plan as
Oregon has adopted. Is necessary In
order to get the control of govern
ment away from party machines and
into the hands of the people. If the
expression of the popular wishes re
sults In defeat to the party In power,
It Is because that party has deserved
harm.
The more party machinery we de
stroy by putting the control of elec
tions directly Into the hands of the
people, the better the nation will be
served. Destroying par'y machinery
means good to It because It Involves
cleansing out the maggots of bnsslsm
tbat are fattening In the cheese.
l'pnplo ho cftmplflln rtf tha de
struction of parties by direct nomina
tion and direct elections confuse the
real party with the corrupt nests of
parasites that get Into the party ma
chine. Breaking up these nests does
not harm the party; It purifies It.
THE I5RYAX MACHINE
It won't do for democrats to throw
stones nt the republican political "ma
chine" In future. The Bryan machine
In the national democratic convention
is the most powerful, tyrannical, com
plete ever witnessed In operation In
any political convention In the Unite, 1
States. i
This editorial Is being written in the
forenoon of Wednesday, July 8, short
ly before the democratic national con
vention at Denver will go through the
formality of nominating Bryan. Ac
cording to Bryan's managers, he will
receive 1002 votes on the first ballot
and no other name will be presented to
the convention.
He has swept aside all other demo
cratic leaders; he has dictated, abso
lutely, every phase of the platform; he
has seated delegations, decided con
tests, elected the temporary and per
manent officials of the convention,
and has controlled every detail of the
convention with the Iron rule of a
czar.
Everything Is Bryan or It Is smoth
ered out of existence. The great con
servatives, Alton B. Parker, Henry
Watterson, Judge Gray all have been
eliminated from the democratic coun
cils. Their lifelong experience and de
voted fealty to the democratic party
count for nothing In the whirlwind
campaign of this Nebraskan auto
crat.
No matter how much alleged Inde
pendence Is exhibited by scattering
delegations, In the opening skirmishes
of the convention. All these refrac
tory bunches will be lassoed and "hog
tied" hand and foot, and delivered in
to the camp of the conquering hero
of Lincoln, to decorate his third tri
umphal march Into the democratic
nomination for the presidency.
This Is Bryan's day to howl. Here
after let democratic papers and dem
ocratic politicians cease to talk about
the "republican machine."
Land sales continue to be made at
extraordinary prices In the Irrigated
belt of Umatilla county. Although
this season la not considered a part of
the land buying period, usually, yet
sales have not fallen off and new set
tlers are taking up the excellent op
portunities of the irrigated sections,
every day. It promises to be the best
year from the standpoint of land sales
in the history of the country.
WOULD WIPE OIT DEFICIT.
When the parcels post question was
under discussion In the recent session
of congress Postmaster General Meyer
sent a letter to Senator Penrose of
Pennsylvania, which was afterward
published In the Congressional Beeord,
urging that authority be given to con
duct an experimental parcel post on
rural routes, as had been done origi
nally with rural delivery, says the
Spokesman-Review.
He believed that if established in
two or three counties It would demon
slrate its worth better than verbal ar
guments could. Congress, however,
did not see fit to act on the sugges
tion. The postmaster general wanted to
prove that the rural parcels post would
be beenflclal alike to the people, to
the country merchants and to the gov
ernment. He contended that the special local
parcel post would tend to wipe out
the postal deficit, and would eventu
ally make the rural free delivery self
sustaining, besides being a boon to
the farmer and the retail merchant.
Should an average of 50 pounds 'if
merchandise be carried on each trip
on the 3.000 rural routes It was esti
mated that about $15,000,000 a year
would be realized, and the net return
to the government would be more than
sufficient to equal the deficit.
FRANCE TO OWN RAILROADS.
Premier Clemencenu of France last
week won his fight for nationalization
of the French railroads. This radical
measure for the purchase by the state
of the railways, adopted by the
chamber and strongly opposed in the
senate, aroused the bitter hostility of
all the conservative 'forces of France,
the moderate republicans, the finan
cial, Industrial and banking commu
nities, the land owners and the cap
italists. It was firmly predicted that
not only the railways purchase bill
but the cabinet Itself would be ship
wrecked if a ministerial Issue were
framed on the question In the senate.
M. Clemenceau, acting against the
advice of many of his firm supporters,
boldly took the bull by the horns, and
after one of the strongest speeches he
ever made, gained the adoption of
the measure in the senate. The Cle
mnceau cabinet, having survived the
crisis. now firmly In the saddle un

The Osage Indians In Oklahoma are
rapidly embracing the Mormon faith,
and if permitted by the government
would soon emigrate to Mexico. The
Osage alloting commission is making
final divisions of lands at Pawhuska,
the tribal capital. The filings will be
made on an average of 25 a day, and
by Novemberl every one of the 2200
Osages will be In possession of the
last of his allotment. Each Osage will
then have on an average of 800
acres. Resides his land each Osage
has an interest In tribal funds vested
with the federal government amount
ing to several millions of dollars. It
Is estamated that the wealth of each

New York, large as it seems to u. Is
not over one-twentieth of the size of
Greenland for N'ew York contains
only 47,000 square miles.
Then think that the glaciers are
steadily moving away from the cen
ter of Greenland, really being crowd
ed off the land, and it will not seem
so strange that here Is the birthplace
of nearly all of the Icebergs that are
so feared by the mariner. St. Nich

In the twenty-first verse of the
seventh chapter of Ezra can be found
every letter of the English alphabet.
It runs thus: "And I, even I, Artax

all the treasurers which are beyond
the river, that whatsoever Ezra the
priest, the Hcribes of the law of God
of heaven, shall require of you !t be
done speedily."

eighth verse of the third chapter of

CLIMBING THE LADDER.
P.allmid earnings are, happily,
mending rapidly. The worst week of
the year, In fespect to the percentage
of falling off as compared with last
year, was at the end of April, when
the decrease was 23.54 per cent.
The first week of May showed a
loss of 21.07, the second week 21.70,
the third week 20.80, the first week of
June 19.80 and the second week of
June 19 per cent. The return to nor
mal, though slow during that period,
was rather remarkable, because of the
large number of roads that were tied
up by floods during that period.
That we will soon have the earnings
as large as they were last year is not
Improbable, for crop moving time will
swell receipts enormously.

PURELY VEGETABLE
GREATEST DF ALL TONICS
Very few persons are able to pass the Spring season with any
k-gree of physical comfort, without the aid of a tonic. Our systems
hunge with the changing seasons, and more is required of the Mood,
ro:n which source our bodies receive their nourishment and strength,
t this particular season than at others.
During the cold Winter months we do not exercise as freely as in
.'.armor weather, the skin is not as active in removing the waste and
cfuse matter, and the other avenues of drainage are dull and sluggish
n their work. Thus the impurities which should pass off are left in
he system, and are absorbed into the blood.
V'lien Spring comes and all nature takes on new life, we change
;:r mode of living, and greater demands are made on the blood for
i.iurishment and strength to enable us to meet the changed conditions,
iut the Winter accumulations have polluted the blood and destroyed its
jtriiive qualities to such an extent that it is not able to supply the
roaseu noeus or tne system, ana
v suffer in consequence.
Our physical machinery seems
. ;;:t "out of gear," and suffers
'r.; debility, weakness, nervous
loss of appetite, etc. Sleep
j iv.'t refreshing, there is a con
:;.nt worn-out feeling, and we do
;.t f.-ei 0'iual to performing the
..!::ui7 duties of daily life.
When the system is in thisdis

s!.i!v;e; it.must be aided with a
.! . and it should be a medicine
:.v, has the additional qualities
llood purifier, for to
. ....:. iij.ilih iliJ blood must be
.;::,cA of all impurities.
S. S. S. is the best Spring
and it is recognized as the
in llvt Mivi.t niiriKcr. It is
entirely of roots and herbs of the forests and fields, and as it does
i it cdrit.'in the slightest trace of mineral in any form, is especially
i;pt;d for a systemic remedy, and has the additional value of being
irs.uf.ly safe for young or old. S. S. S. re-establishes the healthy
: '.:btim of the blood, rids the body of that run-down, worn-out feel
:vj, imprves the appetite and digestion, and brings about a return of
and strength to those whose systems have been weakened and
; .?!; ted. S. S. S. acts more promptly and satisfactorily than any
medicine, and those who are beginning to feel the need of a tonic
) jniry lhemselves against the unpleasant conditions which come with
:.pn;i. shuuld commence its use at once. Not only will it tone up
.he .-'.v.eni, but it will remove any humor from the blood, and prevent
m outbreak of Eczema. Acne, Tetter, Poison Oak, Poison Ivy, or
jther skin disease or eruption, which is so common at this season.
S. S. S. is for sale at all drug stores.

ABSTEMIOrS BARTENDERS.
Chicago has a novel organization
In the Bartenders' and Salonkeepers'
Total Abstinence society, which Is now
said to have two thousand members.
Many saloonkeepers In the Windy
City, It Is reported, are bound by an
agreement not to employ men who
drink. While N'ew York grog sellers
have no such society and no such
agreement, so far as the public has
ever heard, all the better class of
drinking places strictly enforce rules
against employes drinking while on
duty, and there are scores of bartend
ers who never drink a drop of the
liquids they dispense.

He came often nnd early and stayed

take 11 ciphers and make 23 out of
them. He didn't, so she told him to

then .to draw a perpendicular line
about half an Inch long down from
the right side of the first, fifth and
