Be it so'. Enough, if something from our hand have power And if, as toward the silent tomb we go, Through love, through hope .Ad faith's transcendent dower, We feel that we are greater than we know. I am not earth-born, though I here delay; Hope"s child, I summon the infinite powers And laugh to see the mild and sunny day , Smile on the thin and shrunken autumn hours. I laugh, for hope hath happy place for me If my bark sinks, 'tis to another sea! Selected. WHERE IS TIIE B.VXD? It would require the services of a microscope. X-ray or a search war rant to find a trace of any of the many brass bands of which Pendle ton has boasted In the past. Pendleton will welcome the day somebody with genuine musical in stinct and enthusiasm organizes a small, snappy, efficient brass band and puts It in position to play on all occasions for reasonable prices. The olty will support such a band. The city want? such a band and somebody ill orgir.ize Just such before long. There is a demand for a band every week in a city of this size. It would have been very appropriate to have had a band for the Garfield recep tion last week. It would have been appropriate at every political meet ing during the campaign. It would be appropriate two or three times each week an the court house lawn and the business men and citizens will gladly pay for the services of such a band. Who will take hold of this matter at.d organize a Pendleton band a band without selfish interests, with cut factions, without friction, with out bickerings, without Jealousy? A 15-plece band, snappy, up-to-date and harmonious would be welcomed and well patronized by Pendleton. There is no reason why one of the beet band organizations in eastern Oregon should not be maintained In this city. It would be half of the pub lic life of the town. And the people and business men will gladly support the right kind of an organization. TIIE W OKK OF OSW ALD WEST. That Governor Chamberlain made no mistake in the appointment of Os wald West as a member of the Ore gon railroad commission has been shown repeatedly by Mr. West's work ur a commissioner. Without wishing to be officious, Mr. West is a vigorous official and his reports are gained from knowledge secured at first hand. He learns how cattle shipments are treated by riding in the disguise of a cowman on cattle trains and he learns the condition of railroad tracks by walking over and personally inspecting every mile of the tracks. The Oregon Dally Journal says of his work: Oswald West, railroad commission er. Is Journeying on foot over the Corvallla & Eastern railroad, between f'orvailis and Yaqulna Inspecting the track and bridges on that line. When he shall have finished the tramp of 70 odd miles, he will have personally examined every tie, every rail in the track, and every timber and every bolt n the bridges. An Intelligent and valuable report will probably result from the arduous examination, as was true of a similar tramp of 100 miles taken by Mr. West over the west side some months ago. The method (ls widely different from the policy of the former rail road commission in Oregon, which rode over the lines occasionally In palatial cars, provided by the com panies without expense and with en tertainment provided by company of ficials. Valuable results never came easy. Mr. West's plan Is sane anj safe for the public, which in the summer months uses the Corvallls & Eastern road extensively. It Is of a kind with the plans he pursued In the state land office. In which his service to the state was invaluable. THE CHEAT 1U.IGHT. The white plague, the black death and all the other direful foes of hu man kind dwarf Into Insignificance when compared to the one great blight upon the earth, the curse of drunkenness. Every- Jay within your circle of personal friends somebody is cut down in the heyday of their life by this blight. Bright, Intelligent, ca pable men, men who could shine In any walk in life, lay down their arms and yield to this arch fiend of all bad habits. Drunkenness Is such a useless, senseless, nonsensical habit that It seems that men would avoid it out of sheer self-protection. It undermines the health and sense of every man who practices It. It Invites disease and early decay and ruins genius and destroys honesty with a ruthless hand. Young men Just entering life have striking examples of this curse before them. They see brilliant lawyers, editors, statesmen yielding up their lives while yet at middle age, simply and. solely because they burnt out their strength with the poison. For hygienic reasons, alone, every young man should hate the drink evil. Every sensible human being desires to live as long as possible nd have possession of their senses and faculties during all of their lives. Drink cuts off the length of life by half. It destroys the finer sensibili ties and opens the gate to every pass ing disease. This feature of it, alone, should cause young men to shun It. But this Is only one evil effect. It Is an economic waste, a cause of crime, a degenerating Influence which dulls every victim's finer senses and low ers every high ideal. ROOSEVELT VINDICATED. One of the highest compliments ever, paid an opponent was given to Theodore Roosevelt yesterday at Lincoln, Nebraska, by William J. Bryan, democratic nominee for pres ident and democratic leaders from all parts of the United States, who had met there In conference. At this conference it was unani mously decided by the democratic leaders that no attack should be made on the Roosevelt administration by any democratic speaker during the coming presidential campaign. It was declared by Theodore Bell of California at this conference, that such an attack would mean the death of democracy. So the Roosevelt administration is satisfactory to the democrats. They will attack no part of It In their com ing campaign. They Indorse It pub licly before the American people. They decide that there Is no .vulner able point of attack. They unani mously declare that to attack It would mean death to democratic hopes. These are frank admissions for the democratic leaders, Bryan included, to make to the American people. And since Taft and the republican plat form Indorse and stand for the Roos evelt administration emphatically, what is left for the democrats to make a fight for? Since Taft was put forward and in dorsed by Roosevelt as the best and ablest exponent of the Roosevelt or republican policies, and now since the democrats have Indorsed Roosevelt and his administration, there seems to be no need for a democratic ticket or platform. The Roosevelt ticket and platform should suffice, accord ing to the decision of the democratic leaders. The only people who have a real Issue to fight for In the coming cam paign, according to the decision of the democrats who have Indorsed Taft through Roosevelt, is the pro hibitionists. No other party has In dorsed their platform as yet.' M'FATRIDGE UPHELD. The East Oregonlan is delighted to know that both Secretary Garfield and Commissioner Leupp have em phatically upheld Agent McFatrldge of the Umatilla reservation. Major McFatrldge came here to straighten out a most unfortunate and disagreeable tangle on the reser vation and that he has succeeded ad mirably Is shown by the Indorsement of his fearless and honest policy by the secretary of the Interior and the commissioner of Indian nffalrs. The 640-acre rule Is to be enforced in making leases and nobody Is to bo exempt from the rule. Tito renters of Indian lands must live on their land ;uid every other rule of the In dian department is to be subject to careful observance. The people of Pendleton and of Umatilla county are glad that pro gress Is being made on the reserva tion' and that the large holdings are to be cut up andmore renters given a chance. Major McFatrldge Is to be congrat ulated on the success of his fearless policy and It Is sincerely hoped that the reservation friction In Pendleton Is at an end. BUILD STONE DEPOT. When the O. R. & X. company de cides to build a new depot In Pen dleton It is sincerely hoped that a fine stone building will be erected. The business of Pendleton and the Importance of this city as a railroad center Justify a building second to none on the O. R. & X. system. The company owns Ideal depot grounds In this city and could make the Pendleton depot a model of beau ty and convenience if it would, and It Is the hope of the East Oregonlan that such Is done, when the decision to build a depot here, is reached. THE IXJIRED ONE. A gentleman owning a sugar estate In Demerara went out to visit It for the first time The day after his ar rival he stood watching the punts bringing the cane home. A young ne gro boy who was driving the mules, wishing to Increase the speed of them struck one of them with the whip. The mule promptly responded by launching out with his heels and dealt the boy a kick on the head which stretched him on the ground, where he lay rubbing his wooly pate on the spot where the kick had been receiv ed. Is he hurt Is he hurt?" cried the planter In alarm. A full grown ne gro, hearing the expressions of con cern, sprang forward hastily and, rais ing the mule's heels, shouted out: "Xo, boss! That mule him walk tendah fo' a day or two, but him no hurt!" Chambers' Journal. FOR THE DOLEFUL OXES. The world Is full of doleful crea tures who move about demanding our sympathy. I have nothing to offer them but doses of logic, and stern commands to move on or fall back. Catholics In distress about Infalli bility; Protestants devoting them selves to the dismal task of paring down the dimensions of this miracle and reducing the credibility of that one as if any appreciable relief from the burden of faith could thereby be obtained; sentimental skeptics who, after laboring to demolish what they call the chimera of superstition, fall to weeping as they remember they hnve now no lies to teach their chll dren; democrats who are frightened at the rough voice of the people and aristocrats flirting with democracy. Logic, if It cannot cure, ought at least to silence these gentry. Augus tine Birrell. Australian Wood to UnkeU States. Consul-General John P. Bray, of Melbourne, reports that a large ship ment of Australian hard woods, in cluding over 800 tons of railroad sleepers, has Just been made frm Australia to San Fraticisco. As, the woods are propably among the best in the world for railroad purposes. It la anticipated that this shipment Is the forerunner of many similar ones Do You Think For Yourself ?

The highest recorded velocity of underground waters has Just been discovered by II. C. Wolff of the do partment of mathematics of the Uni versity of Wisconsin, In the course of an Investigation which he carried on in Arizona during the Christmas holidays. The rate of movement of under ground water in gravels near Tucson he found to be 144 feet In 24 hours, while the highest previously rated by observers was only about 100 feet. Mr. Wolff was commissioned by the chief hydrographer of the United States geological survey to spend the Christmas recess giving Instructions to members of the engineering de partment of the University of Arizo na in the methods of measuring the rate of movement of underflow streams. The University of Arizona Is carrying on this work for the pur pose of developing the water resour ces for Irlgation In the neighborhood of the city of Tucson. THE FIRST REPORTER. The modern reporter harks back to the reign of Queene Anne nnd to the unknown scribe who attempted to tell the public the secrets of her par liament. He had a hard time of It, for parliament wished to keep Its secrets to Itself. In 1728 an order was passed "that It Is an Indignity to and a breach of the privilege of this house for any person to presume to give In written or printed newspapers any account or minute of the debates or proceedings; that upon discovery of the authors, printers or publish See the Twin-Dime Across the Street.

Ambrose Pierce, one of William Randolph Hearst's young men and professedly a literary critic, seeks to cast aspersions on the memory of the late John Hay by Insinuating that he was not n poet. Mr. Blerce, al though a caustic and Iconoclastic commentator, is usually Just In his conclusions, but there are many who will dlngree with his rterlslnit In re-, gard to Hay's poetic ability. Did Mr. Blerce ever read the fol lowing: "Forever In thine eyes, O Liberty, Shines that high light whereby the world Is saved, And, though they slay us, we will trust In thee." If that Is not poetry, Mr. Blerce, what Is it? Of course the critic might urge that the great statesman was mistaken as to the quality of the light that shines In the eyes of Liberty; that, In fact, the lady Is blind; that she Is a myth, and that, If she really existed, few of us would ever trust her with five cmUs, much less our valuable lives. But that has nothing to do with the quality of poetry. Exchange. Operation for Piles will not be ne cessary If you use ManZan Pile Rem edy, guaranteed. Price 50 cents. Sold by A. C.
