How does Love speak?
In the faint flush upon the tell
tale cheek,
And In the pallor that succeeds
It; by
The quivering lid of an averted
eye
The smile that proves the pa
rent to a sigh.
Thus doth Love speak.
How does Love speak?
By the uneven heart-throbs, and
the freak
Of bounding 'pulses that stand
still and ache
While new emotions, like
strange barges, make
Along vein channels their dis
turbing course;
Still as the dawn, and with the
dawn's swift, force.
Thus doth Love speak.

TIIIXK OF IT. HOYS.
One. day this week an aged
called at the office of the East Ore
gonian and' asked that a letter ask
ing for work be written' for him.
He is a tradesman and has been
fairly Industrious, perhaps, but emi
nently unsuccessful in his calling and
In the dictated letter he told a friend
t.: whom he applied for work that he
was old and broke and In need and
must have work.
When the letter was finished he
touched the tip of the penholder for
his "mark," as he could not write his
name.
Think of this condition, boys, while
you are idling 'your time away out of
school. Think of the hundreds of
thousand of dollars expended by Or
egon every ar for free education,
for free schools, fur libraries and
other educational Institutions.
Can you afford to be out of school?
Can you afford to invite the terrible
handicap of this poor old m:in, just
mentioned? In this enlightened age
a man without an education of some
sort or degree Is a hopeless failure.
Don't miss a month from school when
It is possible for you to attend.
Begin right now to' plan for a thor
ough education. Tou are never too
old. Men and women past 40 are
seen in almost every business college
lr. the country, brightc-iiing up their
education, learning something, quali
fying themselves for some profession.
Think of not being able to cope
with the world which Is jostling
around you. Think of going through
life with but 'half a mind, half a
head, half finished. Tou are endow
ed with brain and Intuition and am
bition and unless you are well equip
ped, you only half live!
Pendleton Invites you to some One
of her excellent schools. The door Is
open. The opportunity is at hand. It

LOXGS IX)U FREEDOM.
Norway Is dissatisfied with her gov
ernment, and from reports the king
dom wishes a form of republicanism
such as we enjoy In this country.
The young monarch at present
reigning is neither very popular nor
very offensive. But his countrymen
think Norway would be better ruled,
better taxed and better disciplined If
they had a president Instead of king.
President Fallleres of France, Is to
visit Norway in a few days. Plain
and earnest man that that he Is, be
lieving in the universal freedom, there
Isn't any doubt that when he leaves
Christiania there will be left behind
him even more dissatisfaction than
now exists.
Norway,, (o be sure, has never had
much Internal trouble. Her people
are not warlike. They believe In sim
plicity, honesty and education. Since
the establishment of a compulsory
education law the kingdom hag ad
vanced rapidly In the sciences.
Their ambition is gerat, they want
u government like that of the United
States, and some of these days, wlth-
out Mood or the use of a sword, we
think it will come. Hankon VII, who
'married Princess Maud, rules not un
kindly, but still ho Is a king, and
monarch ure fast jusslnj Into un
popular history.
JAPAN'S Xi:V F.XPF.R1M I'.NT.
The San Vi.'-.u if co I.xamlncr says
of Japan's exi'W imcnt In the tovi ru
men t owners. of railroads:
After 23 years of experience Japan
has determined to extinguish private
ownership of railroads In the empire
and to have all lines owned and oper
ated by the government.
The "Financial and Economic An
nual of Japan for 1908," which has
just been issued by the Japanese de
partment of finance, includes some
statistics on the results of govern
ment ownership that may have some
Instruction for other nations.
The railroad, history of Japan be
an In 1ST4 with the building of a
few small lines by the government.
Ten years later private construction
began and for many years outstrip
ped government construction. During
the war with Russia, however, the
government took over some of the
private lines for military purposes, so
that at the end of the fiscal year
1907, the state owned 2149 miles of
road, while the private corporations
owned 2932 miles.
In the fiscal year 190? the state
roads earned 35,478.317 yen (the yen
being worth nearly BO cents), while
the private roads earned 43,192,589
ytn. The expenses or tne slate roaas
were 18.247.601 yen; of the private
roads. 22.025.96 yen.
The objection argued by opponents
of government ownership, that It
ci sts more to run a government en
terprise than a private enterprise, ap
pears to be borne out by the figures
of Japanese experience, though the
difference is not so great as might
be expected. The expense of the pri
vate roads for 1906-7 took 51.1 per
cent of the receipts: those of the state
nvin(rnads took 51.4 per cent.
Now the government has arranged
to buy 2 1 2 out of the 2932 miles of
roads In private ownership by 1915,
at a cost of about $114.500.0000. Be
sides these roads the Japanese gov
ernment Is buying the Korean rail
ways. The financial report says: "The
working of the railways since the
nationalization has given satisfactory
results. The railway profits
have increased beyond expectation.
According to theestlmates formed
when the nationalization scheme was
first considered, It was anticipated
that during the first two fiscal years
the profit from the nationalized rail
ways would be insufficient to meet
the debts Incurred on account of pur
chase; but In the financial year 1906
7 the actual profit was 18.6S7.452 yen,
against the estimated amount of 15,
4S1.547 yen: and In the year 1907-8
also it Is believed that the actual re
ceipts will exceed the estimated
amount, which is 31.312.SS0 yen, so
that the profit from the purchase!
railways will be more than sufficient
to pay the Interest."
The Japanese government Is a
pretty shrewd business corporation
Itself; and even though it is wasting
a good deal of the people's money on
building warships anil other unpro
ductive expenditures. It does not hesi
tate to spend money on enterprises
that further the commerce of the na
tion. TO PISH RACK THE VEIL.
Jessie M. Smiley, a young woman
of Chicago, who has just Inherited a
fortune of $20,000,000, declares that
she will devote the greater part of her
fortune to the Investigation of the
occult sciences.
She recognizes the growing ten
dency of mankind to long for and
study the Invisible world, the spiritu
al and occult shadows which surround
us, and she will employ her fortune
In attempting to push back the Inter
vening veil between the seen and the
unseen.
That there Is something within
reach of the human mind, something
understandable, something tangible,
something practical In the unseen
realm lying Just outside our con
sciousness, Is believed by every think
er today, and the investigation of this
realm Is now out of the experimental
and superstitious stage and is on a
level with other scientific Investiga
tions. Religious prejudice is softening to
ward the occult sciences for nothing
would strengthen true religion more
than a closer knowledge of God and
nature, which these investigations
promise.
Traveling men are changing their
front about Pendleton. Since they
see that the town is still on the map
In spite of prohibition, they give us
another year in which to die. Their
first guess wai that mortification had
already started.
MUDS AID FA11MERS.
"It pays the farmer to protect
birds," says Biologist Henshaw, writ
ing In the new yearbook of the de
partment of agriculture.
"Only the thoughtless and Ignor
ant," he declares, "still hold that the
graceful forms and beautiful plumage
of these masterpieces of nature serve
i heir highest purpose when worn on
a hat for a brief season, to be tin n
east aside and forgotten, the phimai:
dimmed and faded, the beautiful
song" quenched forever."
Dr. Henshaw, however, doesn't
class every bird as a friend of man's.
Indeed. He admits that few birds
are wholly beneficial but yet he says
there are very few among the harm
ful ones that haven't nt least one re
deeming trait. .He sums up the situa
tion epigrammatleally: "Most birds
most of I lie lime are beneficial; a
few birds most of the time are In
jurious." According to Dr. Henshaw, birds
form a very efficient police force for
the air and ground. Thrushes, spar
rows, larks and wrens, he says .search
the surface of the earth for Insects
ers, ets.. with their warblers, creep
ers, etc., with thcor microscopic eyes,
scan every part of the tree or shrub,
and few hidden creatures escape
them. Woodpeckers, not content
with carefully scrutinizing the bark
and limbs of trees, dig into decayed
and worm-eaten wood and drag forth
the burrowing larvae; the flycatchers
aided by the warblers are ever alert
to snap up Insects when flying among
trees and branches! while swallows
and night hawks skim over the pas
tures and patrol the air high above
the tree tops for such of the enemy
as have escaped pursuit below. Thus
each family plays Its part In the
never ending warfare, and the num
ber of Insects annually consumed by
the combined hosts Is simply Incal
culable. ,
Dr. Henshaw tells of the balance of
nature that Is necessary to preserve
conditions; a maximum of birds to
keep the Insects to the minimum.
Whenever that maximum of birds is
destroyed, then the Insects multiply,
and one of the so-called "plagues"
results. And about the only remedy
there Is for these Is the Importation
of more birds to kill off the bugs.
However, he stops his glowing tribute
to the feathered tribe long enough to
give the English sparrow a dig.
"This bird." he says, ' has bad hab
its far outweighing any possible good
that It does, even If the most liberal
estimate be made of the comparative
ly small number of Insects trmt it de
stroys or the weed -seed It eats."

The microscope In the hands of the
expert food chemist is n powerful
detector of food adulteration.
In an article on the use of this In- '
strument. In the new Yearbook of the !
department of agriculture, one par- i
tlcular case Is cited where n sample
of adulterated celery seed showed.
under the lens, that It was composed :
of 40 ner cent of powdered rock.
An investigator nt the bureau of
chemistry found, by use of the mi
croscope a large percentage of ground
olive stones In "pure" pepper. A
chocolate coating preparation was
found when sufficiently magnified, to
contain cocoa shells, cornstarch, beef
tallow and some mineral matter,
probably used for coloring.
Some manufacturers used gum
traatantli to assist lit "Jellying" pre
serves. An adulteration of this kind
Is easily detected by use of the mi
croscope. In a great many cases, the article
states, adulteration which Is easily
discovered through the microscope,
would otherwise require an extended
chemical analysis to determine the
component parts. For tills reason the
microscope has been added to the food
testing laboratories of the bureau of
chemistry. ,
The source of nearly all the evil and
unhapplnesH of this world Is selfish

on being selfish. We see that the

selfish. Minot J. Savage.

ItOAl) SYSTEMS FOR
NATIONAL FORESTS.
A forestry service bulletin says:
The office of public roads of the
department of agriculture Is to co
operate with the forest service In
drawing up plans for comprehensive
system of roads and trails on na
tional forests.
For the last two years congress has
provided funds for permanent Im
provement on national forests, and a
large part of the money thus made
available has been and Is being used
for road and trail building. The
amount Is too small, however, In com
parison with the total area of the for
ests, to make possible more than a
very small, beginning. With thicker
settlement and Increasing use of the
forests, good roads will become more
and more a crying necessity.
The object of securing the help of
the office of good roads Is to make
the work take the line that will not
merely serve temporary conveniences,
but also count for most In the end.
I!y building each year with reference
to a carefully worked out plan the
danger of undirected effort will be
escaped.
During the present summer an en
gineer of the office of roads will go

forests and draw up plans which will
be submitted to the forester, and will
servo to guide subsequent work.
Where the roads planned for cannot
bo built, trails will, so far as possible,
be made to follow the courses laid
out,- with the expectation that later
they will be converted Into roads.
The roads, trails, telephone lines
and firo lines already constructed on
national forests, are proving of great
value both In the work of flro pro.
tectlon and In serving the conven
ience of the public. The further this
work can bo carried the greater will
be the usefulness of the forests to the
surrounding regions.
