ass?
I can feel no pride, but pity
For the burdens the rich en-
dure;
There Is nothing sweet In the
city
But the patient lives of the
poor.
Oh, the little hands too skillful1
And the child-mind choked
with weeks,
The daughter's heart grown
willful
And the father's heart that
bleeds.
No, no! From the street's rude
bustle,
From trophies of mart and
stage,
I would fly to the woods' low
rustle
And the meadow's kindly
page.
Let me dream as of old by the
river
And be loved for the dream
alway,
For a dreamer lives forever, ,
And a toller dies In a day.
John Boyle O'Reilly.
THE PROHI PLATFORM.
Aside from Its demand for the pro
hlbition of the manufacture of liquors,
the national prohibition platform con
tains some excellent doctrine and Is
worthy of notice by the thinking
voters of the United States. .
This platform grapples fearlessly
with the big Issues which are engage
Ing the attention of such men as
President Roosevelt, Senator La
Follette, Governors Hughes and Folk
and other reform leaders In both of
the old parties.
The platform In full, is as follows:
The prohibition party of the United
States, expressing gratitude to Al
mighty God for the victories of our
principles in the past, for encour
agement at present, and for confl
dence of early and triumphant sue
cess In the future, makes the follow
ing declaration of principles and
pledges their enactment Into law
when placed in power:
1. The submission by congress to
the several states of an amendment to
the federal constitution prohibiting
the manufacture, sale, Importation,
exportation or transportation of alco
holic liquors for beverage purposes
2. The immediate prohibition of
the liquor traffic for beverage pur
poses in the District of Columbia, in
the territories and all places over
which the national government has
Jurisdiction, the repeal of the Internal
revenue tax on alcoholic liquors and
the prohibition of the Interstate traf
fic therein.
3. The election of United States
senators by direct vote of the people.
4. Equitable graduated Income and
Inheritance taxes.
5. The establishment of postal sav
ings banks and the guaranty of de
posits in banks.
6. The regulation of all corpora
tions doing an Interstate commerce
'business.
7. The creation of a permanent
tariff commission.
8. The strict enforcement of the
law Instead of the official tolerance
and practical license of the social evil
which prevails in many of our cities,
with Its unspeakable traffic In girls.
9. Uniform marriage and divorce
laws.
10. An equitable and constitution
al employes' liability act.
11. Court review of postofflce de
partment decisions.
12. the prohibition of child labor
In mines, workshops and factories.
13. Legislation basing suffrage
only upon intelligence and ability to
read and write the English language.
14. The preservation of the miner
al and forest resources of the country
and the improvement of the highways
and waterways.
Believing In the righteousness of
our cause and in the final triumph of
our principles and convinced of the
unwillingness of the republican and
democratic parties to deal with these
Issues, we invite to full party fellow
ship all citizens who are with us
agreed.
ARE WE TOO PROSPEROUS?
' Is Pendleton too prosperous? Is
there actually too much Idle money
la her banks? Are we not uffering
from fatty degeneration, obesity, ple
thora? Such would aeem to be the
case, judging from the following out
side editorial view, coming from the
Oregon Daily Journal,
That Pendleton has "blathers" of
money, no one denies. That she Is
able to do anything which she might
desire to do In n -financial way, no
one questions. That she could with
equal ease and grace finance a vine
gar factory or a system of electric
lines, is admitted by everybody who
has come into contact, with the live
wires of the Pendleton spirit, but that
we are doing none of these things at
present, must be admitted.
It may be pertinent and timely to
ask why we are doing none of these
things? Why are several millions of
Idle money suffering from "dry rot"
In Umatilla county banks?
The Journal says of Pendleton's
condition:
One Pendleton bank. In a recent
statement, shows It has of cash on
hand, $143,049.71 and "due from other
banks," $371.3S1.S4, or over $500,000,
while carrying total deposits of $1,
298.9S2.12. This Is an average showing of the
banks In all parts of Oregon, a ple
thora of cash and conservativeness, an
Inactivity on the part of those who
have money In the bank, a disposition
to keep from doing something where
in there Is "some little risk," as well
as some little energy and enterprise
required.
In this same town of Pendleton,
where there are three banks, all en
trusted with liberal funds by their
depositors, a well advertised woolen
mill Is closed for want of someone
with a little energy, enterprise and
money to run It, and there Is talk of
tearing this mill down and moving
it to some place where the requisite
resources of operation and successful
conduct can be assembled.
While this takes place a goodly
number of Pendleton people, who pos
sess these deposits In their home
banks, will yawn and wearily wonder
where they will be able to loan a lit
tle more money at a high rate of In
terest with least risk, Hnd with no
need of alertness, energy or ent4V
prise on their part to keep it em
ployed. And here one has a clear Idea of a
community disease known as "dry
rot," brought about by accumulation
of money or wealth by a few Individ
uals through growth of population
and rising land values, rather than
through the more legitimate avenues
of hard work and industry, coupled
with enterprise and pride in the
home place to keep it in the fore
front of progress.
Those persons who drift Into the
contented zone of living off of ground
rent and Interest soon contract the
malady of "indolence and don't care"
and become more and more burdens
to the rest of the community lacking
in civic virtues and that public spirit
which strengthens the home, hullds
up' the town and spreads the fame
of the county and state.
In short, the interest and ground
rent eaters, so long as they are with
out other "visible means of support,"
are "deadheads" on the voyage of
earthly existence, and make the lives
of any number of other people harder
and more barren in consequence.
Wake up, keep a-goin'!
STATEMENT XO. 37.
Over In the state of Washington
it Is not "statement No. 1" or "state
ment No. 2," but It Is statement No.
37, and It Is causing a "dlvll of a
row," too, In state politics.
The new primary law pledge called
statement No. 37, binding candidates
for legislative offices to support the
party choice of their constituents for
United States senators and this Is
causing more confusion than state
ment No. 1 or the popular choice
ever caused In Oregon.
In Washington the democrats count
for nothing and the entire senatorial
fight Is confined to rival republican
factions. So the chief point at Issue
Is whether legislators will recognize
the party choice for senator, or enter
a free-for-all fight, with the big sack
and the machine cat-o'-nlne-talls as
the chief factors In the selection of a
senator. '
The rival factions would much
rather have a free-for-all fight and
are afraid candidates will subscribe
to statement No. 37 to support the
choice of the party voters of the state.
Neither Ankeny or Jones care to trust
the people In the senatorial election
and so both factions are secretly
arrayed against the party choice, and
wish to settle the matter In the old
way In the legislature.
THE MARVEL OF THE BISCUIT.
Oyer at Waltsburg this week a test
of rapid harvesting was made by the
Preston-Parton Milling company, and
it required just 22 minutes to cut,
thresh, grind and bake into biscuits
a small tract of wheat. From stand
ing grain to hot biscuits In less than
half an hour!
But we have become so accustom
ed to marvels that we marvel no
morel
Only a few years ago it was weeks
between the threshing and the bak
ing. It Is only a generation ago when
our grandfathers and grandmothers
cradled their wheat, beat Jt out with
flail, carried It to mill on horseback,
with a stone in one end e fthe sack
to balance It, and waited their turn
for days at a rude water mill for
their flour.
Now you can drive Into a wheat
field and eat the wheat that Is stand
ing all about you, within 30 minutes.
The process of harvesting Is but little
short of miraculous, when compared
to that of 30 years ago.
A truck gardener at Lewlston sold
$500 worth of cucumbers from one
acre of irrigated land. The same
enormous yield could be secured from
any acre In the Hermlston or Echo
district where water has been placed
upon the land. Why are there not
golden promises here for men with
small means? What ordinary work
Ingman in Umatilla county could not
seed one or two acres to cucumbers
any year? Some of you fellows who
are kicking about being forced to
leave the county, get busy.
What are you doing to make the
Umatilla-Morrow county fair a suc
cess this year? It is your fair and If
it Is not a success every Individual
farmer in the county will be respon
sible. Every time a Pendleton man comes
back from the mountains where he
enjoyed drinking the elixir of moun
tain springs, a new convert to a
gravity system of city water for Pen
delton is gained.
YOU AND I.
You and I are only pebbles on the
shore;
Just a wavelet's hurrying touch and
all Is o'er.
Then beneath the effacing sands
We fold up our empty hands
And the place that knew us knows us
now no more.
You and I are only rain drops on the
grass;
Just ah Instant gleaming, e'er a zephyr
pass;
Then the shaken reed Is bent
By a gust of Fortune sent,
And the world forgets we lived (or
loved, alas!)
You and I are only painted picture
toys.
Tossed and tumbled by the Fates.
like fretful boys;
Scarred and soiled In soul and
brain
All our castles reared In vain
And the rainbows that we follow, but
decoys!
You and I are only struggling mortal
things,
With the thraldom of the earth upon
our wings;
Beating blindly through the
gloom
Twlxt the cradle and the tomb
Jostling In the utter darkness slaves
and kings.

They are singing for your sake!
But there's sadness In their notes
That come thrilling from their

New Cure for Baldness.
A report from Youngstown, Ohio,
says:
"A farmer north of this city ha
a new growth of hair on his hereto
fore bald head. It came about this
way;
Several weeks ago the farmer went
fishing and was so interested that he
forgot his bare head. The sun blis
tered his scalp so badly that the skin
came off and when the new skin
came on a luxuriant growth of hair
came with it. Dr. Ralll of this city,
vouches for the truth of his story."

When the blood is pure and healthy, the skin will be soft, smooth, and
free from all blemishes and eruptions ; but when some acid humor takes
root in the circulation, its presence is quickly manifested by some form of
skin disease. The skin receives its necessary nourishment and strength
from the blood. When, however, this vital fluid becomes a humor-laden
stream, it can no longer preserve the healthy, natural appearance of the skin,
but by its acrid, impure nature continually irritates and inflames the delicate
tissues and fibres and keeps the cuticle in a diseased and disfigured condition.
External applications cannot reach the blood, and therefore are beneficial
only for their ability to reduce inflammation, and assist in keeping the parts
clean. To cure any skin trouble the blood must be purified of the humors
that are causing the trouble. S, S. S. drives out the hiniors from the blood
so that the skin, instead of being irritated and diseased, is nourished by a
healthy, cooling stream. , S. S. S. goes down into the circulation and
removes every particle of impure matter, all acid3 and humors, and restores
the blood to its normal, pure condition, thereby curing every form of skin
disease or affection. Book on skin diseases and anv medical advice free to

WHY THE EDITOR SWORE.
With a terrific cold In his head,
And the eve lids heaw and sore.
The editor sat In a broken chair
And bitterly, earnestly swore.
A youth had dropped In with a poem,
A man was there with a dun,
A chap had entered to tell him
How the paper ought to be run.
An Irate subscriber had told him
That his sheet wasn't fit to be read,
While another had carefully promised
To punch the editor's head.
The foreman was yelling for copy,
And the wind blowing in at the
door
And this, with a few other reasons,
Is why the editor swore.
But the angel who took It to heaven,
Recorded his verdict there:
"The Jury will find In the present case
'Twas a justifiable swear."

profits of the paper will also be con

fund.
