Siiil gli.ls the .-'.ream, and shall
forever glide;
The form remains, the func-
lion never dies;
Wh.le we. the brave, the
mijthty, and the wise
We nu-ii, who in the morn of
youth defied
The elements, must vanish. 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!

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

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

UN DEUG KOr.N 1) WATEKS.
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 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

for parliament wished to keep Its
secrets to Itself. In 1728 an order
was passed "that It Is an Indignity to

WHAT IS A POET?
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.
