l'N;OH,K,,LABC
Out of the night that covers me,
Black ns the pit from pole to
pole!
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell crutch of circum-
stance
I have not winced nor cried
aloud: '
Under the bludgeonings of
chance
My head Is bloody but un-
bowed.
It matters not how straight the
gate,
How charged with punish-
ments the scroll,
I AM the master of my fate;
I AM the captain of my soul.

WHY IS THE RIVER CLOSED?
An eastern capitalist who passed
through the city last evening and who
bad observed conditions closely as he
passed up the Columbia river between
Portland and Umatilla, said to the
East Oregonlan:
"It Is a national shame to have that
magnificent stream closed to com
merce. Why should a few rocky bar
riers In that river stand forever as a
hindrance to state development?
Why Is the river not opened to Its
farthest limits? It reflects upon the
intelligence and honesty of congress
to know that this great stream, drain
ing a larger portion of four magnifi
cent western states, Is closed to nav
igation by a few miles of rocky
rapids."
These thoughts have been In the
minds of westerners for a quarter of
a century. Now that easterners are
bf ginning to think the same thoughts
and see this matter in this light. It is
probably that public sentimont will
ultimately open the Columbia river.
It Is hoped that Oregon senators
and representatives In congress re
ceive more hearty support hereafter
in their work for an open river.
GETTING CLOSE TO THE PEOPLE.
Both the reclamation and forestry
departments of the United States
government are being brought closer
to the people each year. When first
organized these Important depart
ments were naturally administered
largely by specialists at Washington.
Eut that method soon proved to be
unsatisfactory. Now it Is highly
probable that both departments will
be administered directly from offices
In the heart .of the west where the
forest reserves and reclamation pro
jects are situated.
Both of the departments are vital
to the nation. They are for the good
of the public and whatever Is best for
the country and the people will be
the guide of those In charge.
It 1b necessary tor the forestry de
partment to know what Is right be
tween John Smith and the govern
ment In the distribution of ranges and
so the government will get close to
every John Smith In the range dis
tricts and ascertain what his rights
are and how to best protect them,
And the same la true of the recla
mation department and soon both of
these great departments will be ad
ministered on the ground, among the
people, and not from a Washington
bureau.
fcELF-INTEREfiT AND LAW.
It Is disheartening at times to find
a leading public man, especially a
lawmaker, whose selfish Interests
override his sense and cause him to
legislate, not for the common good,
but for himself and his Interests.
This tendency Is seen In the United
States senate more often than In any
other lawmaking body in the world,
for the reason that United mates sen
ators have been selected, not always
for their fitness, but for the "big In
t rests" which they represent.
Naturally when they take part In
lawmaking It is for "the Interests"
which elected them. That Is one of
the greatest abuses of the present
form of free government.
But slowly the people are awaken
Ir.g to their rights. Through the en
tire fabric of hum-in effort runs the
golden thread of the law and jus
tice, and no matter how many states
men prostitute themselves before
mammon; no matter how many sell
their efforts for money and betray
their constituents, the final triumph
ant result will be a perfect civiliza
tion. The traitors will be forgotten, the
patriots will be glorified. Wrong may
reign hilariously for a time, but it
I.i sure to fall.
THE DENVER PLATFORM.
Not all of the leading democratic
papers of the country are pleased
with the democratic platform adopted
at Denver. The Kansas City Star Is
highly displeased with It- and between
the lines In Its editorial utterances
rr.e may read a bitter disapproval
of the document. The Star says:
The Denver platform is not a dem
ocratic platform unless one man Is to
be accepted as the absolute sponsor
for the democracy. It is not a party
expression unless one man Is to be
regarded as the embodiment of all the
wisdom, all the diplomacy, all the
foresight of the great political organ
ization to' which he belongs.
Nevertheless, It is the platform of a
party, for the democracy has accept
ed It, has become responsible for It
and must make Its fight upon It.
It is thoroughly characteristic of
the man who made It. As with other
declarations that have borne his lm
press, It Is a combination of the obvi
ously unsound and dangerous. It
again betrays the Bryan habit of
overreaching. It forces on the party
positions that must be evacuated in
the future as Bryan positions have
been evacuated In the past.
As to the planks found In both the
Chicago and Denver platforms, each
party has done well. A great effort
was made by Mr. Bryan to Improve
on the anti-Injunction plank of the
republican party, but he has accom
plished nothing except to make a lit
tle more obvious appeal to union la
bor, His tribute to the courts. Im
plying criticism of the republican at
titude, Is a bit of humor, for no other
man has done so much to discredit
the courts as has Mr. Bryan through
his Insistent phrase "government by
injunction."
The effect of the Denver platform
on the campaign will be through Its
Inclusion of things not mentlonad In
the Chicago declaration. Some of
these planks will be found advantag
eous; others will not.
By declaring for the publicity of
campaign contributions, the election
of senators by popular vote and the
laying of an Income tax, and by de
nouncing Speaker Cannon's rule of
the house, Mr. Bryan has met a popu
lar demand that the Chicago conven
tion ignored.
FOR PURER MILK.
While the health officers and city
council are endeavoring to purify tile
milk supply of the city and safeguard
the users of milk, let us get at the
bottom of the question.
Practically all of the medical au
thorities say that the milk Is as pure
as gold when It comes from the milk
glands of the cow and that .the con
tamlnation comes through filth which
Is allowed to get into It after it is In
the hands of the milker.
If this Is true, as It certainly is,
the thing for dairymen to do Is to
make dairies cleaner, take more pains
with the milk after It has been ex
tracted from the cow and safeguard
the public by greater care and cau
tion.
The campaign of the health offi
cials and city council should be for
cieaner dairies and more care with
the milk, rather than to start on the
longer and more complicated route
of eradicating the infected cows.
If the cans are kept clean, If milk
ers are more careful, If fltlh Is kept
cut of milk. If the dairy output is
handled with the care which Its im
portance to the public demands, the
danger from tuberculosis will be
greatly obviated.
A FRIENDLY WARNING.
If the cigar stores will get their
ear to the ground, they will hear ar.
ominous rumbling; which means a
public disapproval of their gambling
games where young boys are given
the first lessons in this vice.
There la no desire on the part of
the law enforcement league to be un
just or harBh and It will not Inter
fere with a solitary legitimate bus
iness, but It is evident that some
thing will be done by the league If
the cigar store games are not regu
lated. There U no desire on part of any
citjien to close up any legitimate

HEALTH VERY POOR
RESTORED BY PERUNA.
Catarrh Twenty-five Years
Had a Bad Cough.
Miss Sophia Kittlesen, Evanston, 111.,
writes:
"I have been troubled with catarrh
for nearly twent-I!ve years and have
tried many cures for it, but obtained
very little help.
"Then my brother advised me to try
Peruna, and I did.
"My health was very poor at the time
I began taking Peruna. My throat was
very sore and I had a bad couh.
'Peruna has cured me. The chronic
catarrh Is gone and my health la very
much Improved.
"I recommend Peruna to all my
friends who are troubled as I won."
PERUNA TABLETS: -Some people pre
fer tablets, rather than medicine In a
fluid form. Such people can obtain Peru
na tablets, which represent tho medici
nal ingredients of Peruna. Each tablet
equals one average dose of Peruna.

Umatilla county when the law break

It Is just as easy to be right as It is
to be wrong and much less trouble

All of the 14 proffered sites for a
federal building In Pendleton are

What Pendleton wants Is a site which
will be nearest the center of the bus

greatest number of people. It Is not
for a day nor a year, but this conven
ience Is for all time to come and no
mistake should be made.

Blue mountains for a genuine rest
