For. as the ages come and go,
The leaders of the van,
Are proofs that this Is ever so
The hour begets the man!
He's nature's heir, and, he alone
Has ripht and title to the
throne!
Not -wealth, nor yet a long de-
scent
Through many a famous line,
Can give this power to mankind
lent
From Nature's hand divine!
For with the call there comes
the might,
Of those who teach; or preach,
or fight!

TAX THE SPECULATOR.
The attention of Assessor C. P.
Strain of Umatilla county, and of the
assessors of other eastern counties, Is
called to the fact that timber land
which cost the entrymen but '$2.50
per acre is being sold at from $1500
to $3000 per quarter section, or from
four to eight times Its original cost.
If this land is worth from $1500
to $3000 for purposes of speculation.
It is also worth this much for pur
poses of taxation.
As several townships of this timber
land have Just been entered In Uma
tilla and adjoining counties, the ln
creased taxes from this source
should have a perceptible effect on
the taxes of these counties.
"Oh," say the owners, "this land Is
Idle and there is no market for the
timber. The real value of the land
Is the government price, or $2.50 per
acre."
The value and earning capacity of
property Is determined by the income
it yields the owner and an Income Is
not necessarily estimated by the
number of dollars in coin it returns.
If this land has Jumped up in
value from $400 per quarter section
to $3000 per quarter in two years, it
had actually added that much wealth
to the holdings of the owner, whether
sold or held for greater advance In
value.
Every foot of this kind of land held
for purely speculative purposes should
be taxed on Its boasted market value
and not on what It cost the entrymarl.
This method of taxing speculative
property will bring new industries to
the county quicker than anything else.
The owners will make the property
productive rather than pay the tax on
high values and get nothing In return
from the idle land.
. City lots held for speculation, tim
ber land, irrigated land or any other
property held purely for advancing
values, should be made to pay an
equal fhare of the public expense,
with property In use.
ISXT THIS RIGHT?
Pendleton has now been dry for
nearly a month and the people have
had an opportunity to see -what pro
hibition Is like. It Is not bad.
During the past month Pendleton
has been the same bustling little city
It has always been. True, the police
court has been quiet for there have
been practically no arrests since the
first of the month. A few men have
left town and people traveling Main
street no longer see the drunken,
blear-eyed faces that once stared a
them from the saloon fronts. Some
of the saloon locations are still un
occupied. But buflnees In general has been
good. Merchants have found that the
town Is not ruined. A few custom
ers may have been lost, but for this
the store men are recompensed by the
fact that those who remain "have more
money to spend with them. There
are scores of men In this town who
are now buying dryrooda and grocer
itM with money which they formerly
cquandered In saloons to the neglect
of their loved ones ftnd their own
degradation. .,
For the future the outlook tu
probably never brighter for Pendle.
ton than at present. The city Is In
line for a gravity water system and
a city' park. A city hall Is being
built and the town will soon have a
splondid federal building. The lovee
Is being strengthened so that there
will be no further danger from floods
nml the development of the nrld lands
In the Hormlston-Echo country
promises to brjng thousands of new
people' Into the county.
This being true. Isn't it time for
the people of the city to forget that
there was ever any contention and
unite in the work for the future. To
make Pendleton the town It really
should be, and can be made, will re
quire hard, unceasing, unselfish work
on the part of her people. There
should be no dissension In the ranks
of those who are fighting for the
city's good and any bitterness that
may have resulted from the recent
election should be burled deep in the
graveyard of the past. Pendleton
has no timefor further post mortem.
There is work to be done for the fu
ture and all good citizens should help.
The Btones which some would hurl at
others who differed from them in
opinion should be used In building a
greater Pendleton.
A DEMONSTRATION FARM.
Nothing would be more beneficial
to Umatilla county at this time than
a demonstration farm and If the re
gents of the agricultural college are
to establish any more stations, they
should be Implored to start one here,
To have the large wheat ranches
of the county broken . into smaller
ones Is the prayer of all and the hope
of the county lies In the answering
of this appeal. But the big ranches
will be broken up when it has been
shown that other crops may be raised
with more profit than wheat. No
sooner.
Wlille here with the demonstration
train the men from the agricultural
college declared that annual crops
may be raised In Umatilla county,
and that summer fallowing Is a use
less waste. They are doubtless right
Tears ago there was but little diver
sified farming In the Willamette -
ley. At Institutes held In every com
munity of that section the agricultu
ral college men taught for years th
gospel that was heard here this
spring. Today the Willamette valley
Is being devoted to Intensified farm
ing and wheat raising is becoming
a lost art. Will time not bring the
same changes in eastern Oregon?
In western Oregon the scientific
agriculturists had the advantage of
the experimental farm at Corvallis by
means of which they were able to
prove that what they taught was
right. If they had a demonstration
farm In Umatilla county perhaps they
could do the same here. Such Is to
be hoped and there Is so much at
stake that the attempt should be
made. Should it succeed Umatilla
county would be converted from a
giant checkerboard of wheat fields
and summer fallow Into a paradise of
small homes.
WU TING FANG'S LITTLE JOKE.
Wu Ting Fang, Chinese minister to
the United. States, Is playing another
one of the Jokes for which he Is fa
mous, says the Salt Lake Herald. Wu
Ting some time ago was credited with
having made the statement that he
had discovered a system of diet
which would probably enable him to
live for 200 years. A Boston man bi
came curious and bit. He wrote the
Chinese minister for the recipe for
longevity, and received the following
plan of dally procedure:
"In answer to your letter request
ing my plan of diet I. have to say as
follows: (1) I have given up my
breakfast, taking two meals a day,
lunch and dinner. (2) Abstain from
all flesh food;, my diet Is rice, or,
when I go out to dinner, whole wheat
bread, fresh vegetables, nuts and
fruit; (3) I avoid all coffee, cocoa.
tea, liquors, condiments and all rich
foods; (4) I have given up salt also,
because It Is found that salt makes
one's bones stiff; (5) I masticate
every mouthful of food thoroughly
before It Is swallowed; (6) I don't
drink at meals, but between meals or
one hour after meals; (7) I practice
deep breathing; (8) I take moderate
exercise."
Mr. Wu has Improved upon the
Fletcher fad, which finds a remedy
for every bodily 111 in complete mas-
tlcaflon. The Fletcherltes eat many
orms of food, but the Chinese mln.
later permits only rice, and it witnout
alt At'least a pinch of salt ahould
be permitted for the recipe.
Pendleton has a city council ot
which ahe may feel proud. One ot
the indications that its membership
Is comprised of thinking men, men
who do things, Is the fact that they
do not always agree. It Is also a re
freshing sight to see the chairman of
the street committee out In his shirt
sleeves at 10 o'clock at night, per
sonally supervising the flushing of
the streets, with the mayor on hand
to see that no water Is wasted at a
time when water Is a mighty scarce
article.
What the district fair commission
needs right now is not more money
or more enthusiasm, but a real, live,
hustling man to get out among
the farmers of Umatilla county to see
that prize winning exhibits are col
lected and saved.
THERE IS NO FAILURE.
(Thomas Speed Mosby In Success
Magazine.
There Is no failure. Life itselfs a
song
Of victory o'er death, and ages long
Have told the story of triumphs
wrought'
Unending, from the things once held
for naught.
The battle's over; though defeated
now,
In coming time the waiting world
shall bow
Before the throne of Truth that's
bullded high
Above the dust of those whose ashes
lie
All heedless of the glorious fight they
won
When death obscured the light of
vlct'ry's sun.
There Is no failure. If we could but
see
Beyond the battle line; If we could
but be )
Where battle-smoke does ne'er be
cloud the eye.
Then we should know that where
these prostrate lie
Aceoutered in habiliments of death
Sweet Freedom's radiant form has
drawn new breath
The breath of life which they so
nobly gave
Shall swell anew above the lowly
grave
And give new life and hope to hearts
that beat
Like battle drums that never sound
retreat.
There Is no failure. God's Immor
tal plan
Accounts no loss a lesson learned for
man.
Defeat Is oft the discipline we need
To save us from the wrong, or teach
ing heed .
To errors which would else more
dearly cost
A lesson learned Is ne'er a battle lost
Whene'er the cause is right, be not
afraid:
Defeat Is then but victory delayed
And e'en the greatest vlct'rles of th
world
Are often won when battle-flags are
furled.
They who He down with lambs shall
arise with fleece.
THE POWER OF MIND
OVER BODY.
(Orison Swett Marden, In Success
Magazine.)
We hear a great, deal about the
power o fthe mind over the body.
Why, the whole secret of life Is wrap
ped up In It. We do not know the A,
B, C of this great, mysterious power,
though the civilized world Is rapidly
awakening to Its transforming force.
The prophet, the poet, the sage, from
earliest times, have felt and recog
nized it.
"Be ye transformed by the renew
ing power of your mind," Paul ad
monished the Romans. ' "TIs the
mind that makes the body rich," says
Shakespeare. "What we commonly
call man." writes Emerson, "the eat
ing, drinking, planting, counting man,
does not, as we know him, represent
himself. Him we do not respect. But
the soul whose organ he Is, would he
let It appear through his action, would
make our knees bend."
Today even the prize fighter, the
uneducated, as well as the educated,
the man who lives on the animal
plain even as the man who lives on
the spiritual plane, In fact all sorts
of people, are beginning to see that
there Is some tremendous force back
of the flesh which they do not un
derstand. The rapid growth of the
so-called New Thought movement
shows how actively this Idea of man's
ridden power Is working In the minds
of - all classes.
WOMEN IN UNIVERSITIES.
Oonsul Thomas H. Norton, writing
from Chemnitz, says that the question
of admitting women to equal rights
with men In the privileges of the Ger
man universities is still far from be
ing generally settled. He adds:
The universities In Saxony and in
the southern half of the empire Ba
varia, Baden and Wurtemberg have
all opened their doors to female stu
dents, and granted them all academic
rights, matriculation, graduation, etc.
Others admit them only as visitors to
lectures, but refuse to them all other
privileges. The University of Berlin
has adopted a compromise, refusing
matriculation to women, but , allow
ing them to attend courses of study
as visitors, and also, with the approv
al of their Instructors, to present
themselves as candidates for the ex
aminations leading to the doctor's de
gree, y
During the past winter the 21 Ger
man universities enrolled 320 matrle-'
ulated women, and 2504 female visit
ors. There was an Increase over the
preceding winter of 35 matriculates
and of 399 visitors. The matriculates
were divided among the eight uni
versities, where they are allowed en
trance, as follows: Munich, 125, Hei
delberg, 65, Freiburg 63, Leipzig 36,
Jena 20, Tubingen 9, Wurzburg 8, Er

When bad blood 49 caused from an infection of the circulation by the
virus of Contagious Blood Poison, it usually shows in the form of ulcerated
mouth and throat, copper-colored splotches on the body, swollen glands In
the groin, falling hair, sores and ulcers, etc. These general symptoms,
affecting all parts of the body, show how deeply poisoned the blood
becotves, and emphasizes the dangerous character of the trouble. If allowed
to remain in the system the disease will finally wreck the health and break
down the strongest constitution. No medicine can cure Contagious Blood
Poison which does not rid the circulation of every particle of the virus,
S. S. S. is the one real and certain cure; it goes down to the very bottom of
the trouble, and by removing every trace of the poison, and adding rich,
healthful Qualities to the blood, forever cures this powerful disorder. S. S. S.
is the most reliable of all blood purifiers, and its concentrated ingredients of
healthful vegetable extracts and juices especially adapt it to curing this
insidious trouble. Write for our home treatment book, which is a valuable
aid in the treatment of the different stages of the disease, and ask for any

Secretary Cortelyou was elaborat
ing on his recent epigram, "Politics
is a duty."
"I don't mean by politics spoil-
hunting and office-seeking. Politics
Is a good and honorable word. It is
a shame to have degraded It. We
should try and uplift It again to Itb
right place.
"We don't want the word 'politics'
to evoke the pictures of such a man
as Hilary Harkness.
"Hilary Harkness was a politician
of the lowest type, and unsuccessful
at that. His whole life was devoted
to office-seeking; he spent 37 years
vainly seeking a $5,000 office hours

supported him by keeping a candy
shop.
