Lean on no mortal, love and
ervc:
(For service Is Love's comple-
ment)
But it was never God's Intent
Your spirit from its path
should swerve
to Gain another's point of view.
As well might Jupiter or Mars
Go seeking help from other
stars, ,
Instead of sweeping on, as you.
Look to the Great Eternal
Cause
And not to any man, for light.
Look in; and learn the Wrong
and Right
From your own Souls' unwrlt-
ten laws.
And when you question or de-
mur.
Let Love be your interpreter!

ART IN FKU1T GROWING.
Art is not confined to painting pic
tures, composing operas, designing
mansions and palaces. Art is not all
-white shirt" work. Art Is not a
winged thing, soaring in upper
realms of thought and Ideals.
But art creeps close to the ground.
It finds Its expression in the homll
est things. It gives out its best ef
forts in working miracles in common
callings. It clothes Itself in peach
blossoms, the verdure of alfalfa, the
rich deep green of th.- growing wheat,
the abounding foliage of archarda
and vineyards.
Down in Jaekon county near Med
ford a pear orchard of 1 CO acres has
just been sold for $160,000. The
man whq planted, cultivated, devel
oped and sold this orchard was no
kss an artist than li'isa Bonheur,
Mi'.l't, Deethoven or Paderewskl.
Taking a small tract of land, not
one-fourth enough to satisfy a lma.
tllla county wheat farmer, this artist
clothed it in beauty and productive
ness to such art extent that ha In
creased its value a thousand fold.
He made It the envy of the world.
He called the attention of the world
to this tract, by selling the highest
priced carload of pears ever sold In
the markets of the world,
workshops or printing offices. It is
workships or printing offices. It Is
found hovering near the "man with
the hoe" in the irrigating ditch,
clinging fondly about the artisan
working out his ideals In the orchard,
meadow or vim-yard. Art is the
spirit of work which converts a use
less thing Into a thing of beauty and
use.
Any man who works zealously to
improve the little spot of earth he.
cwns, is an artist. And the greater
z-al and skill he puts Into his work,
the greatrr artist is he. The creator
of this Medford pear orchard not only
found his highest pleasure in his
homely art, but he found immense
profit in it also. The right kind or
art pays, while it pleases the artist.
A NEW ERA IS UPON' U.S.
No matter whether Taft or Bryan
is elected president of the United
States, a new political era Is upon
us. The Roosevelt administration has
brought about an awakening of the
public conscience, a higher view or
the duties of citizenship, a clearer
understanding of the responsibilities
of the public official and hereafter
there will be no reign of fraud and
high handed corruption as In the
past, no matter what party U in of
fice. Fearless and clean handed, Theo
dore Roosevelt set about to rid the
departments of fraud and secret
grafting and he had succeeded ad
mirably. He has not stopped to ask
the political belief, lineage or history
of grafters, but has Investigated them
fearlessly and if found guilty has
ousted them from the public service
without ceremony.
Never again will a political party
dare to permit wholesale frauds In
government departments as in the
past. The Roosevelt administration
will go down In history as tho turn
lug point In American political mor
als. Roosevelt will be remembered
as the American Hercules who dared
to cleanso the Augean stables of po.
Iltlenl corruption.
Whether republican or democrat
sits In the presidential chair here,
after, the American public will be
assured of honesty and cleanliness In
office. The civil service rules and
practices are also giving us bettoe
men In all the government depart
ments.
Efficiency and not party fealty will
be the tests for public service here
after. It Is a new era in thought,
action and conscience and we are to
thank Theodore Roosevelt for Insti
tuting It. So,
'Cast In some diviner mould,
Let the new cycle shame the old."
OREGON'S 11IG CROP.
Although not a good soaking rain
has visited the Inland empire wheat
belt this year, the grand total of the
wheat crop for the states of Oregon,
Washington and Idaho, Is far above
the average for the past 10 years and
the amount of money- received for
this year's crop will be but $5,000,.
000 short of the income from last
year's bumper crop.
According to E. W. Wright, the
statistician of the Portland Oregon
Ian, the total crop for this year In the
three northwest states will be 44,
050,000 bushels while the average for
the past 10 years has been but 42,
468,000 bushels and last year's bump,
e: crop only amounted to 58,000,000
bushels.
Of this total crop of 41,050,000
bushels for 190S, Oregon la credited
with 11.S50.000, Umatilla county
leading all othc- counties with a
yield of 3,T50,o0u. Washington
claims 27.950,000 with Whitman
county in the lead with 6,750,00 bush
els and Idaho claims 4,250,000 bush
els. Mr. Wright hns visited every coun
ty and has personally Inspected crop9
and has personally consulted with
farmers and wheatbuyers and ship
pers and his figures are as near cor
rect, perhaps as it is possible to se
cure. He is a painstaking and In
dustrious statistician and for a num
ber of years has estimated the crops
of the northwest honestly and effic
iently. One of the features of his report Is
that Umatilla county produces more
wheat than the entire Willamette val
ley district. While this county Is
credited with 3.750,000 bushels this
year, the entire Willamette valley dis
trict raised but 2,750,000 bushels, or
a million bushels less than this ban
ner county of the state.
Till'. AMERICAN" SHAME.
In John Barrett's commercial re
view of the Republic of Panama In
his reports of the Bureau of Ameri
can Republics, It Is shown that dur.
Ing the past year 104 vessels hava
touched at Colon, Panama. Eighty
per cent of these were Norwegian
and the remainder English vessels.
Not an American vessel touched
at that port.
The fact Is there are o few Amer
ican merchantmen that none of the
seaports of the world show any num
ber of them on their registers. The
carrying trade of American vessels Is
shamefully small and from the ac
tions of such mi-n as James J. Hill,
and E. H. Harriman, who declare
they will sell their present lines
rather than obey the laws of the
United States, this trade will dwin
dle to a smaller and smaller amount
each year.
If American shipping must be sub
sidized and paid a bonus by the
people, then It seems that the only
way Is for American shipping to be
carried In foreign vessels. European
vessels can carry merchandize at a
profit. Why cannot the vessels of
American companies?
Wheat land that was worth but $60
to $70 per acre between Freewatei
and Walla Walla before the electrlo
line was completed, Is now worth
from $250 to $500 per acre as resi
dence and orchard tracts. Would not
the same Increase In values come to
the land between Pendleton and
Weston and between Weston and
Free water with an electrlo line?
Think what this would mean to the
property values of the county aside
from the matchless conveniences ot
such a line.
ALMOST A CEN'TCKY OLD.
Miss Ell. Nash, who died at
Norwell, Mass., a few days ago, was
a "real" Laughter of the Revolution,
and In two months more would have
been a century old. She had lived
under every presidency excepting
those of Washington and John Ad
ams, having been born September 2,
1808. She was active in good works,
and to the last kept herself Inform,
ed as to the events Qf the day, on all
of which she had her decided opinions.
THE EXILE.
I've laid aside Earth's broken toys
Ambitions, hopes and fears;
The things I could nnd did not do,
And disappointment's tears.
I find my Joy In simple things
God left outdoors for me;
The mountains filled with secrets old;
The prairie, like the sea;
The music of the mountain stream;
The quiet of the hills;
The winds that blow across the world;
The touch of Christ that thrills.
And here, high up, close to the stars,
The world seems far away;
I do not dream ot It by night,
Nor think of It by day.
I do not know If this bo Age,
Or whether life is spent;
But, by a mighty peace within,
I know I've found Content.
Louise Paley In Unity.
WHAT IS TO COME?
What is to come we know not; but
we know-
That what has been was gdod was
good to show,
Better to hide, and best of all to hear.
We are the masters of the days that
were.
We have lived, we have loved, wa
have suffered even so.
Shall we not take the ebb who had
the flow?
Life was our friend. Now, If It be
our foe.
Dear though it spoil and break us
need we care
What Is to come?
Let the great winds their worst and
wildest blow.
Or the cold weather round us mellow
slow:
We have fulfilled ourselves, and wo
can dare,
And we can conquer, though we may
not share
In the rich quiet of tho afterglow
That Is to come.
William E. Hendley.
A DRIFT.
Just somebody's secret that somebody
gave
To somebody else on the way;
And somebody else, though shft
thought it so grave,
Told somebody else. And today
That poor little secret, by silence
once bound,
Is adrift on a turbulent sea,
And the high wind of scandal nas
tossed It around
Till a secret it's long ceased to le.
Suppose you were the one who first
passed it along,
It matters not why nor how,
But an innocent name had suffered
the wrong,
Would you be the happier now?
Mattie J. Crowley.
CONTENTMENT.
When you're the dad '
Of a four-year old,
With eyes o' blue.
And curls of gold.
And a merry laugh
Anil a wef pink fist.
And a cherub mouth
Made to be kissed;
When you're the dad
(if a kid like that
With a heart of love
And a cheek to pat,
The skies for you
May be blue or grey.
'TIs sunshine still
That Illumes your way.
You're happy then,
, Anil the days are gold,
If you're the dad
Of a four-year old.

The Tanner's Wife
la very caref :1 about hor churn. Sha
tcalds It thorn. u;lily aftr;r using, and give
It a son bath 'o sweeten It. Sho knows
that if her en :rn Is sour It will taint the
butter that l: :-.ud In it. The stomach is
a churn. In lie stomach and dlgestivo
and nutritive tracts are performed pro
cesses which are almost exactly like the
churning of Gutter. Is It not apparent
thon that if this Homach-chnrn Is foul it
makes foul nil whic h is put Into It?
The evil of a foul stomach Is not alone
the bad taste In tin) mouth and tho foul
breath caused by it, hut the corruption of
the pure current of blood nnd tho dissem
ination of disease throughout the body.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
makes the sour and foul stomach sweet.
It does for tho stomp. ch what tho washing
and sun bath do for the churn absolutely
removes every Uinting or corrupting ele
ment. In this way It cures blotches,
pimples, eruptions, scrofulous swellings,
lores, or open eating ulcers and all
humors or diseases arising from bad blond.
If you have bitter, nasty, foul taste In
your mouth, coated tongue, fouf breath,
are weak and easily tired, (eel depressed
and despondent, have frequent headacli'-s,
dlz.y attacks, gnawing or distress In stom
ach, constipated or Irregular bowels, sour
or bitter risings after eating and poor
appetite, these symptoms, or any consider
able number of them. Indicate that you are
suffering from biliousness, torpid or luzy
liver with the usual accompanying Indi
gestion, or dyspepsia and their attendant
derangements.
The best agents known to medical sci
ence for the euro of the above symptoms
and conditions, as attested by the writings
of leading teachers and practitioners of
all the several schools of medical practice,
have been skillfully and harmoniously
combined In I r. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. That this Is absolutely true
will be readily proven to your satisfaction
