-CNiON SlLABEL
It isn't the thir.gs you do, dear,
It's :!ie thing you leave un-
done,
Which gives you a bit of heart-
ache
At the sotting of the sun.
The ter.jer word forgotten,
The letter you did not write,
The flower you might have
sent,- dear,
Are your haunting ghosts to-
night.
.
The stone you might have lifted
Out of a brother's way. ,
The bit of he.irt.nme counsel,
Tou were hurried too much
to s.iy;
The loving touch of the hand,
dear.
The gentle and winsome tone
That you had no time nor
thought for
With trouble enough of your
own.
For life is all too short, dear,
And sorrow Is all too great,
To suffer our slow compassion
That tarries until too late,
And It's not the thing you do,
dear,
It's the thing you've left un-
done
Which gives you the bitter
heartache
At the setting of the sun.
Selected.
PENDLETON'S PLACR
In the list of cities doing building
and having prospective building worK
In view, published in the Pacific
Builder ani Engineer of Seattle,
Pendleton comes In for four good
Items, as follows: City hall, now un
der way costing $40,000; levee re
pairs now under way, costing $3000;
federal building In near future, cost
ing $70,000. t
These four items bring Pendletoji
well to the heal of the list of north
west cities doing building this season.
It is an advertisement of which the
city Is proud and will keep the eyes
of the northwest on Pendleton, In fu
ture as In the past.
Contractors, builders, architects,
material men and laborers all over
the country read the Builder and En
gineer and Pendleton's activity will
reach thousands of people who read
and think.
SATISFIED, AS CSCAL.
John Sharpe Williams, democratic
congressional leader and senator
elect from Mississippi, in answer to
the question as to how the demo
cratic ticket and platform suited him,
said: "The democratic candidates
and platform are perfectly satisfac
tory to me, as usual."
But there was no enthusiasm In
this laconic interview. Mr. Williams
didn't smile when he said It. The
wholesale swallowing process by the
Bryan forces at the Denver conven
tion, In which not even the feet of
any other interests were left sticking
out of the maw of the Bryan machine,
did not "set well" with Mr. Williams
nor with thousands of other strong
democrats throughout the country.
No consideration was given the
Ideals of such men as Henry Watter
son, Judge Gray, Alton B. Parker,
John Sharpe Williams and others who
could be named. These men helped
to make the democratic party and
are now turned down.
INTELLIGENT VOTING.
The Kansas City Star gives voters
of Kansas and Missouri some excel
lent advice regarding the use of the
direct primary law and this advice
may be of Interest to Oregon voters
where the primary law U in force.
The Star says:
How are you going to vote at the
primaries la August? Not, for whom
are you going to vote, but how?
Will you vote Intelligently or unlntel-ligentlyT-
The great American electorate Is
not yet educated to the duty of pri
mary voting. It will doubtless learn
the lesson fast; but so far the people
of Missouri and Kansas at least have
had no experience In making direct
nominations. The primary law Is
right in principle, but Its enemies will
be very glad If the first experiments
result unfortunately.
Thus, much flrpemls on the wisdom
or discrimination shown In the selec
tion of candidates of the several par
ties at the fourth of August primaries.
Obviously one cannot discriminate
with good sense If one is not pretty
well informed as to who the candi
dates are and what their qualifica
tions are:
The country voters both In Kansas
and Missouri will probably have the
easier time as they will be confront
ed by the fewer number of condidates
for the several offices. In Kansas
City, Mo., there are as .many as 10
aspirants for one county office. It
might well puzz'.e a body of expert
Investigators to choose the best qual
ified man. The average voter's prob
lem Is much more difficult.
Find out all that you can about all
of the candidates. But if you have
not learned anything definite con
cerning any of the candidates for
some one nomination don't vote on
that nomination. If a group of
names under one office title on the
ballot Is meaningless to you don't
make a guess and choose one name
at random. Pass that group up.
The primary system will be worth
less If It Is not accompanied by In
telligent voting.
TOO "NEAR BEER."
It Is evident from the actions of a
number of the drinkers of the stuff
hi this city on .Saturday that the al
leged "near beer" being sold by a
number of former saloon men at their
old stands, Is too "near beer" to pass
the test of the prohibition law and
there will be a wholesale cleaning
out of these soft drink places If the
law Is not observed.
The people cannot and will not be
fooled. They know as much as the
saloon men and they have voted pro
hibition on Umatilla county and it
Is safe to say If the law Is violated
that somebody will suffer for It.
Judging from the heavy prohibition
vote In this county the people mean
business. It is safe to say that if the
Issue were to be voted upon today it
would carry by a majority of at least
1500 Instead of 700.
If the law enforcement league re
cently organized to help the officials
enforce the law, mean business, it
will have chemical tests of the alleg
ed "near beer" made to satisfy a
number of people who will have 'to
be, "shown" before they can believe
that it Is only "near beer."
A law is a law and in the East Or
egonlan s old-fashioned way, a law
means what It says. The prohibition
law prohibits the sale of intoxicating
liquors and this means all Intoxicat
ing liquors.
Let us give this matter a fair test.
The people have decreed it. And If
the people mean business It will be
easy to apprehend the culprits. The
people are not vindictive and do not
want to force the saloon men entire
ly out of the county and state, but
there must be law observance.
WnAT WILL PORTLAND DO?
The Portland Oregonian in com
menting on a recent editorial in the
East Oregonlan giving some of the
happy results of prohibition, says:
"A big town will never be a dry town
and a dry town will newr be a big
town. And In the meantime note
the difference In growth of Pendle
ton and Walla Walia, Pendleton be
ing dry and Walla Walla wet."
The Oregonlan's argument Is that
a big city must have saloons as a part
of its resources, then. And that un
less a city has saloons It will never
be a big city, regardless of its vital
resources.
The Oregonlan does not believe
such argument as this. It Is making
a "talk" to prevent prohibition in
Portland". It Is not so blind to the
true economic foundations of society
as to make such statements for In
telligent readers to accept.
What will Portland, Spokane, Se
attle and Tacoma do when the states
of Oregon and Washington go dry,
within a few years, as they are cer
tain to do. Then we are to have no
big towns and no good towns In
these - two dry states, regardless of
their matchless resources?
It Is conceded by many conserva
tive liquor men that Oregon would
have adopted prohibition this year,
had there been a state vote on the
subject. What will Portland do when
this awful catastrophe comes? Will
she be no longer a good town nor a
big town? Will she dwindle because
of the loss of her 400 saloons?
And what will Walla Walla do in
a year or so, when the local option
law goes into effect in Washington.
The people will vote Walla Walla
county dry as they did' Umatilla
county. Conditions and citizenship
are the same In the two counties.
Then there will be no big towns
and no good towns In the Inland em
pire? What will people do with the
bona fide resources of these coun
ties? Allow them to languish be
cause the saloon Is abolished?
We shall see.
There never has been a satisfactory
explanation of the low prices of west
ern wool prevailing this season. Last
year the clips sold at from IS to 23
cents per pound. This year the same
clips sold at one-half of these prices.
The wool-consuming population Is In
creasing each year. Woolen goods
are as high on the markets as they
were last year. The quulity of the
wool Is just as good as ever. So why
the low prices? The East Oregonlan
has printed several alleged reasons
fiom wool journals, but none of them
have the right ring.

EVERY VOTE FOR URYAX.
The most astonishing news from
Lincoln. Neb., Is this, sent along by
a correspondent of the New York
World: "There Is a scheme on foot
to give to Mr. Bryan the unanimous
vote of the city of Lincoln If he Is
nominated. If this is attempted It will
be carried out.
The Lincolnites have high city pride
and if it Is decided proper to give Mr.
Bryan all the votes in this campaign,
it will be done. It would fare badly
for any man who opposes. This seems
to the townspeople a Just thing to do.
Mr. Bryan is the best asset of the
city. It thrives on his name. It has
grown great under his patronage." A
tremendous change must have come
over Lincoln if this is true. It 1896
and 1900 Lincoln took pride in the
fact that Mr. Bryan's city, Mr. Bryan's
ward and Mr. Bryan's precinct went
heavily republican. But perhaps Lin
coln, after all these years, has be
come grateful to "the commoner" for
the way he had advertised It.
A CHURCH NEWSPAPER.
,
If he had $10,000,000 he would put
It Into the establishment of the kind
of dally newspaper the church needs.
At any rate, that Is what the Rev.
Charles H. Parkhurst told the Con
gregational club In Boston the other
night. We must presume that he
meant It, though he will probably
never have the opportunity" to make
the demonstration. Such a method
of spending a large amount of mon
ey would be no more wasteful than
many other methods which have been
devised and pursued with great as
Idlty, while It clearly would be
harmless. Naturally such a newspa
per would be a missionary enterprise
rather than a business venture, and
other newspapers would not consider
It a serious competitor any more than
they' would so regard a church. In
point of fact, such a Journal might
perform a useful service, for the
church and for the entire communi
ty. New Bedford (Mass.) Standard.
2 "3 BLOOD POISON
A SAFE HOME TREATMENT
In S. S. S. nature Has provided a certain, safe, liome cure for. Contagions
Blood Poison. It is a medicine made entirely of roots and herbs of recog
nized blood-purifying value, and is the one medicine which is able to get
down to the root of. the trouble nnd remove every particle of the virus, and
at the same time benefit and build up the system and general health. No
harmful effects ever follow its use, as is so often the case when strong min
eral medicines are used. As soon as the system gets under the Influence of
S S. S the disease begins to improve, and when the remedy has thoroughly
purified the blood and driven out every trace of the poison, no signs of the
trouble are ever seen again. The general manifestations of Contagious
Blood Toisou such as falling hair, copper -colored spots, ulcerated mouth and
throat, sores and ulcers, etc., are merely symptoms of the poisoned condi
tion of the blood, and in most cases respond quickly to local treatment,
while S. S. S. is doing the necessary work of cleansing the blood. Our
"Home Treatment" book is of great assistance along this line. It is a
complete guide for treating the trouble, containing instructions for the
different stas of the disease, and also valuable suggestions about the local
treatment, that will be most helpful in effecting a cure. We will be glad
to send a c py of this book, free of charge, to any who desire it, and if
special med cal advice is wanted our physicians will take pleasure in sup
plying it without cost to the patient. If you are suffering. with Conta
gious Blood I'oison you can cure yourself in the privacy of vour own home
bv the use of S. S. S., an absolutely safe remedv.
