Shlr.e on me. Secret Splendor,
till I feel
Th.U all are one upon the
mighty wheel.
Let me be brother to the mean-
est clod,
Knowing he too bears on the
dream of God;
Yet be fastidious, and have such
friends
That when I think of them my
soul ascends!
Let me give Love her body of
sweet deed,
And leave the mystagogue to
mouth his creed
Let me weave song upon the
ways apart,
To build a shelter for the lone-

Bl'SIXESS IS BETTER.
At this, the beginning of th-. second
month of prohibition In Umatilla
county, the East Oregonian is proud
t- say that Its" business and the busi
ness of Pendleton In general Is excel
lent, better, perhaps, than In former
months of July when every merchant
expects a slight slump In business.
The advertising patronage of the
East Oregonian was never better In
the summer months; Its subscription
list Is bigger and more permanent to
day than ever In Its history and It Is
doing more Job work and is enjoying
a wider field and has more Influence
and publishes more news today than
ever before.
It was not afraid of prohibition be
fore election and Its courage has been
vindicated since election. Pendleton
Is on the way to a better business era
than has ever yet blessed her, not
withstanding the excellent record of
the past and the East Oregonian ex
pects to share that better era to the
fullest extent.
This paper Is sincerely gratified at
the results and while it regrets that
anybody should have suffered by tha
radical change, yet it believes that
evfry man who stays In Umatilla
county will recover his loss ten fold.
PROGRESSIVE OREGON.'
The Spokesman-Review pays a high
compliment to Oregon's progressive
spirit in the matter of irrigation.
Oregon Is taking the lead in Irriga
tion In the we.t. Although the needs
a more modern Irrigation law, yet In
a practical way she Is going ahead
with a vigor that Is worthy of her
people. The Ppokane "paper says:
Twenty years ago an Irrigation pro
ject down In the Willamette valley
of Oregon would have beer regarded
with amazement and ridicule. It
would have seemed like "carrying
coals to Newcastle" for the United
States government to carry through
an irrigation project in rain-drenched
western Oregon.
But the public conception of Irri
gation has so altered within recent
years that the undertaking Is now ac
cepted as a matter of course and the
farmers of the Willamette valley are
closely watching the results of the ex
periment. An Irrigation engineer for the
United States has JuBt finished putting
water out of a branch from Dairy
creek on 50 acres of land northwest
of Hillsboro, in Washington county.
That district Is one of the oldest
settled parts of the Pacific northwest.
It was shipping wheat to California
at the time of the gold rush in 184.
and it would be difficult to find any
where In the United States a section
that is better watered by nature.
If this experiment should meet with
favor, as seems altogether probable,
the boast so often made will become
truer than ever than "crops never fall
in Oregon."
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?
The report of Recorder Fit Gerald
shows that for the month of June
there were 20 fine from the Under
loin district In Pendleton and that In
July there were but 17 such fines.
That the saloon and the saloon ele
ment fosters, supports and protects
the social evil, is undeniable. That
the social evil follows after and
thrives only on saloons and saloon In
fluences,' Is also undeniable.
In one month under' prohibition,
rondlctou has been fid of nearly 60
per cent of her social evil. Within
three or four months, the entire dis
trict will have boon practically wiped
out.
Then who Is responsible ' for the
social evil?
Judging from Pendleton's brief ex
perience under prohibition, when you
get rid of the saloon and the saloon
crowd you will kill the social evil,
also. Let us place this responsibility
where It belongs, on the liquor traf
fic.
LET REPUBLICANS ACT.
The Sunday Oregonian complains
that democrats "stuffed" the primary
ballot boxes In Oregon at the election
Just passed and therefore thwarted
the will of the republican party In the
state. Because of this alleged bal
lot box stuffing" the Sunday Oregon
ian condemns the entire primary
law.
The Oregonian reminds the East
Oregonian of the Arkansas boy's new
'coon dog. He paid a fancy price for
a 'coon dog and expected great results.
A friend asked him how the dog
"worked" and he replied In supreme
disgust:
"Well, her's a hell of a fine looker,
but her won't tackle the 'coon; her
jlst stands off -and barks. It's a
mighty high price to pay for nuthln
but barkin'."
The Oregonian "Jlst stands off and
barks"; why don't the Oregonian and
the republican legislature "tackle the
'coon"? Why don't, they remedy the
primary law?
They will be Justified by the people
of Oregon In any honest effort to
remedy this law. If there Is a way
to compel democrats to vote for dem
ocrats and republicans to vote for re
publicans In the primaries, let us
have It. Let us make the law what It
U Intended to be, an honest vehicle
of party action.
But the legislature will not be Jus
tified in "cutting the hamstring" of
the primary law, as many of the pol
iticians wish to do. The law may be
improved, but not crippled. It may
bo made more effective, but the peo
ple will stand for no "doctoring." The
legislature is republican and the state
Is republican and any honest effort to
make the law what the people Intend
ed It to be will be welcomed and sup
ported.
But under the present law, Incom
plete as It may be, parties may carry
out their wishes, If party loyalty is
strong. But It Is no more sin for dem
ocrats to vote for republicans in the
primaries than It Is for republicans
t ) vote for democratic candidates in
the general election.
Let us quit "barkin' " and "tackle
the 'coon."
U. OF O. VOTE ANALYZED.
Max Burgholzer, an election sta
tistlcs specialist, who has given the
recent general election and its results
In Oregon some extensive study and
Investigation, declares that the small
majority of 2631 votes given the
University of Oregon appropriation,
due to the fact fhat every church de
nomination In Oregon has a college
or academy of Its own, and that there
fore practically the bulk of the church
vote went against the university ap
propriation. This Is a somewhat severe arraign
ment of the churches and the East
Oregonian cannot believe that It is
wholly true.
Certainly the churches are not
against the great public educational
Institutions of the state? It would
be most unfortunate to find such a
"line up" of sentiment In Oregon, with
other states united on the subject of
public education.
It would mean the undermining of
Oregon's public school system. And
who would wish to be responsible for
such a public calamity?
Trade marks should be ambiguous
and at the same time suggestive, says
the Spokesman-Review. A good em
blem for the beef trust would be a
spiral shell. People wouldn't know
whether It stood for a snail represent
ing the poor man's progress toward
prosperity, or for the horn of plenty
of the trust officials.
While yachting the other day th
president ran down a schooner and
didn't know It, but when Fairbanks
ran down a cocktail the people
wouldn't let him forget it.
Some men are born great, some ac
quire greatness and others get Inves
tigated. Idleness is never a vacation.
.MAKE WAY VOll PROSPERITY.
Charles M. Schwab, chairman and
president of the Bethlehem Steel
company and former head of the
United States Steel corporation, Wed
nesday predicted a period of pros
perity such as the country has not
known for several years, says the
Kansas City Star.
Mr. Schwab recently relurned from
Europe, where he studied trade con
ditions and noted the pulse of trade.
He said:
"The financial panic was a ln-iilth'y
check, and It will redound to bus
iness Interest of the country. There
Is nothing ahead but a period of
prosperity. This Is being felt In
trade circles today. The state of the
stock market and commercial enter-
prles Indicate that confidence has
been restored.
"In Europe the restoration of con-
was quickly observed in iiniinumi
centers. When I say tnat we are
about to enter Into a state of unpre
cedented prosperity It Is no Idle pre
diction. There has been a revival of
business Interests during the hottest
of these weeks, which augurs well for
aur future prospects.
"This should be our largest year
In exports, 1 Our great enterprises
have been hustling for business and
thev have been getting It, too.
"I do not wish to discuss politics.
and I do nt believe the political sit
uation will have any effect on the
wave of prosperity which Is rolling
over us."
MAKING UNCLE SAM'S
WORD GOOD.
(From Success Magazine.)
General Tom Edgar, the first white
child born on Galveston island (his
birthday vas In June, 1837). was re
turning from Galveston to Huston,
where he had been an honored guest
at the dedication f a tablet placed on
the site of the first capltol of Texas,
at Houston. We were seat mates In
the smoking car. He told many
amusing stories of the early days.
Among others he narrated his ex
perience as a Juror In the case of a
negro on trial for stealing a mule.
It was In 1865. while United States
soldiers were still In charge at Gal
veston. The negro pleaded not guil
ty, but the testimony was pretty
clear against him. His lawyer. Ignor
ing the testimony, based his defense
upon the assertion that the negro
could not possibly, be guilty.
'.'Is It not a fact.", he a!d, "that
the federal government promised to
every freedman two mules and sixty
acres of land? No man can deny
It. My client has not received his
promised sixty acres of land. He has
not received his promised span of
mules. He has, indeed, got but one
mule, as these witnesses have testi
fied, and the United States still owea
him another mule and sixty acres
of land. I leave it to you. gentle
men," he said, turning to the Jury,
"If the facts do not prove conclusive
ly that my client Is not guilty of steal.
Ing this mule and can hot, under the
circumstances, have been guilty."
'That argument," said General Ed
gar, "tickled us so that we actually
returned a verdict of 'not guilty.' I
don't believe the darky ever did get
the other mule and the sixty acres,
but we did all we could to make
Uncle Sam's word good."
PRESERVING FRUIT.
(Isabel Gordon Curtis in Success
Magazine.)
There are two methods of pre
serving fruit; In one the fruit Is
cooked In the cans, In the other It Is
boiled In the sirup. The first method
means slower work, but you thus re
tain the flavor of the fruit also the
fresh, delicious odor which vanishes
when fruit is boiled. '
Before proceeding with either
method see to the fruit cans. A
careful housewife wishes them dur
ing the year they are emptied,
covers them and puts them awuy on
a shelf to be in readiness for the pre
serving season. Even then the yre
qulre sterilizing before being used, for
the bacteria floating everywhere In
the atmosphere require only the
slightest chance for lodgement to be
gin fermentation.
Still, with ordinary care, It Is quite
easy to have fruit keep, even If you
Jive In a hot southern climate. You
have only to be sure that the can is
perfectly clean and that It Is air
tight. To make it so, put each can
into a wash boiler of cold water, dis
solving In It a little borax if you no
tice dirt or a crust on the cans or
their lids. To keep the cans from
cracking, cover the bottom of the
boiler with a framework or anything
which keeps the glass from the In
tense heat of the fire. Let the water
Income slowly to a boll ,then continue
at the boiling point for ten minutes.
Set the boiler back on the stove, cover
It and allow the cans to stand' In the
water until they are needed. Rinse
Ihem with fresh boiling water ,and
they are then ready to fill.
CONCENTRATION.
Now here's the secret of concen
tration In a word: "Make every de
tail a work of art." Do everythlng"in
the most occurate, artistic and effi
cient manner. How well can you
wrap up a paper parcel? How quick
ly and neatly can you take a soiled
pen out of the holder and replace it
with a fresh one? How rapidly and
accurately can you foot up a column
of figures? Can you open a newly
bound book in such a manner as not
to injure the binding?
And so on. No detail Is too trivial
to be made a work of art Make It
such. Study It out; do It in the best

possible manner; make that manner
of doing It a habit; and that is the
natural, rational and easy way of
gaining the power of concentration.
In addition to this, special exercises
In concentration are of much value.
The following is one which I have
found most useful.
Count one hundred beginning with
two and adding three each time, e. g.
2. 5, 8. 11, 14, 17. etc. Or begin
ning with two add 6, 7, 9, 13 or 17
each time, e. g., 2, 8, 14, 20, 26. etc.
one hundred subtracting each time
3, 6, 7, 9 and 13, e. g., 100, 97, 94, 91,
88, etc.
Now, all this may seem quite sim
ple. But unless you have already de
veloped exceptional powers of con
centration you will find it quite dif
ficult nt first to hold the attention
firmly to the task In hand.
Another vnluable practice for con
centration Is to procure a number of
cards upon each of which you write
these figures, as 374, 825. etc. Shuffle
these cards face downward. Then
take up a card, expose Its face for
an Instant, then call out the figures
you saw. When you can do this ev
ery time with three figures, prepare
some cards with four figures, as Et,
and under that 73. Later you In
crease the number of figures Indef
initely, and you will soon be sur
prised that your power to perceive and
recall them.
The sam plan may be followed by
writing a list of words on the cards,
beginning with two or three and grad
ually working up to ten or fifteen.
The skin fa not simply an outer covering of the body, but through iU
thousands of pores and glands it performs the great and necessary work of
regulating our temperatures, and also assists in disposing of the refuse and
waste matters of the system by the constant evaporation that goes on
through these little tubes. To perform these duties the tissues and fibres
which connect and surround the pores and glands must be continually nour
ished by pure blood.. When from any cause the circulation becomes infected
with impurities and humors, it loses its strengthening powers and begins to
disease and irritate the delicate tissues, and produces F.czeina, Acne, Tetter,
or some other itching, disfiguring skin trouble. S. S. S. cures skin diseases
of every kind by goinr down into the circulation and neutralizing and remov
ing the impurities and humors. It changes tlie qunliiy of the blood from an
icrid, fiery fluid to a cooling, health-producing stream, which, instead of
irritating and inflaming the skin, cures and nourishes it by its soothing,
healthful qualities. Salves, washes, lotions, etc., may be used for any tem
porary comfort or cleanliness they afford, but skin diseases cannot be cured
until S. S. S. has purified the blood. Book on Skin Diseases and any med

ORIGIN OF SUNDAE,
Many queries with regard to the
origin of the word "sundae" have
been made and a considerable number
of theories about It. have been ex
ploited, says the Salem Statesman.
The mist popular one seems rather
prosaic. Its locale Is reported to
have been New Orleans, where a pro
gressive but unlucky soda water dis
penser found himself one bright and
warm Sunday afternoon entirely out
of carbonated water, with no chanco
to renew his supply. There was a
constant demand for his services, and,
after repeatedly answering the em
barrassing questions why ho was un
able to produce the drinks, In despe
ration he hurriedly mixed Ice cream
and fruit syrups into a frozen concoc
Hon which greatly delighted his cus
tomers. During the following week
days he had so many calls for "that
Sunday recipe" that the Idea flashed
over him that It would be a good
thing to put It regularly on his bill
of fare.
A well meaning but uneducated
clerk, who prepared the menu, did
the trick of transforming "Sunday"
Into "sundae," and the palate-tickler
has remained "sundae" ever since.
