There was perhaps more method than madness in the action of the Pendleton city council which a few years ago imposed such a high li cense on a big circus that the entire circus trust has been so deeply of. fended since then that none of their shows have stopped here. And Pen dleton has perhaps saved thousands of dollars by this action of the coun cil. The Post Falls Advance clearly states the situation in the following editorial on the circus at Spokane: There are said to be tlg rakeoffs In Insurance frauds, railroad rebates and political centers, but about the nicest rake-off announced this season U from Spokane, where Barnuiu's show just showed what it could do last Friday. The attendance Is said to have beer so great the immense tent could not accommodate the crowd, and many were turned away. The people seem ed to be wild with eagerness to "see the elephant." fearing, doubtless, "it" would escape to the hills and a grand opportunity lost. Twenty thousand dollars Is said to have been carted out of the people's pockets and out of the country on Barnum's special train, and at last reports "the elephant" survived the test. Twenty thousand dollars to see a circus! Were the same contributors exiled upon to make the same dona tion for good roads, a public library', additional enducational facilities, or for missionary work In the rural dis tricts of their own country, it is saf to say the amount would not be rais ed: Twenty thousand dollars! That was the boast of the show people. Times are close, the panic is still on and al ways will be as long as old Jumbo is carted around on wheels, for people like to ho humbugged. WEST'S GOOD WORK. OrwaM West, formerly land agent for the state of Oregon and now ably Mllr.g a place on the Oregon railroad commission, is delivering a number of addresses this week in western Oregon on the curse of the land grants of Oregon. He shows by actual figures and statlfks that an area larger than the entire Willamette valley is now held in central, western and eastern Ore gon by alien corporations under grants of one kind and another from the government. In order to dodge taxes on these !m. mense holdings the shrewd corpora tions have delayed securing .patents to much of this land for 25 years. Where taxes have finally been paid, but a fraction- of the amount actually due on these valuable holdings has bren paid. And all the time, the hard working farmers and merchants and mechan ic of Oregon have been laboring long hours, paying heavy taxes and sup porting the burden of state govern ment. Wlil the sensible and patient peaple of Oregon allow this thing to go on? Will another election pass without a law t.ixlng these land hoKliiiKs until they are cither surrendered to tho government or put Into use? LIVING ADVERTISEMENTS. If the citiis of the north und east ns well as tho cities of Europe do not hi come aiMiualnted with the beau tiful Rills of the south and west, it will not be the fault of the enterpris ing newspaper publishers. I It has become quite the fashion to send bevies of fair representatives to all parts of the world. The selections are made by voting contests, usually based upon popularity. Judging from, thos we have seen, popular girls of the south and west are very attrac tive. Others who have seen them think the same way. Just now Governor Haskell's Okla homa New State Tribune Is represent ed by n number of young ladies who are doing New York and the east. Last week 14 young women returned from Europe, where they had been as representatives of the Indianapo lis Star. These trips are good adver tising propositions. The voting von tests themselves are good locally be cause they attract attention and In terest of the readers. Every girls who Is selected carries with her the Interest of all her friends. , The expedition from the time it starts until It returns attracts at tention and favorable newspaper com ment. Such, comment also carries the name of the paper which Is be hind the expeflition. Th trips are beneficial to those who g" because they see a great many things that are of benefit to them, and even after they return tho name of the paper receives further men tion In the discussion of their travels. And these girls are pretty keen ob servers. They seem to know what pleases them "and how to tell about it. For instance. Miss Emma Wood of Mitchell. Ind.. on her return from Europe yas asked what she liked best and replied promptly: "If you ask me what countries I liked the best, I shall say Scotland and Switzerland for their magnifi cent scenery. The Trossachs were beautiful and the Alps grand. We were treated well everywhere, and we had a few amusing experiences, but nothing serious occurred to mar the trip. "I liked . London and Paris im mensely, but for a great city give me New York. It Is best of all. In Paris I did not see all of the sights, as some members of our party did; but, after all, I don't believe that city is any gayer than New York." KEEP CREDIT LINES TIGHT. The "financial stringency" of last autumn caused many merchants to tighten up their credit lines, says the Spokane Chronicle. Keep them tight. Even now It Is entirely too easy to get Into debt In Spokane. Hundreds of people In every ward In town dur ing the last month have purchased articles they did not need and could not afford simply because they could get credit. The "pay as you please" habit Is bad for the individual bad for the community often bad for the dealer who encourages people to go In debt, so that he may gain a cus tomer. Hold the credit lines tighter for everybody's good. IS IT KIGIIT Oil WKON'G? The irK'onslsteni'S of the male sex that governs the country are of ten truly Illuminating. A little while ago a woman In Chi cago was arrested and fined for wear ing trousers while she was earning an honest living as a had carrier In which useful service she found bi furcated garments most convenient On the other hand, there is a new ruling in the general department re lating to mall carriers In which it is held that when women are employed In that capacity they must wear trou sers. Such arbitrary decisions In both In stances, upon sober thinking, are un just and unreasonable. Royal names for hotels are some times the cause of peculiar misunder standings. An aged farmer from the home county decided to make a visit to Toronto. It was the first time he had been at a city Btatlon and when a hotel crier hurried to him with the interrogation, "King Edward?" the newcomer simply smiled as he an swered: "Xo, sir Thomas Cox of Er amusa." Rut what hurts the poor public most about that $29,000,000 fine which was not permitted to stand is the fact that the Standard had al ready collected It from the people, and now has just that much "velvet."

HARVEST TIME IN FRANCE In France they get tho hay In the" last week In June. And that Is a brave s!k1h. when tho men with tho siythes go out at dawn, followed by the old men and the girl who toss the hay. There are good moments, too, at tl o'clock In the morning, for Instance, a great deal of work iil ready done, the breakfast comes, from the farmhouse. " By the hedge, or under t'.ie shade ti the oak. Pierre and hi nu n drink the smoking hot milk and eat the yel low fritters and the gloat pancakes. Then the work goes on again until noon, when they all troop home for dinner. Anil this U a meal of Importance snip and pork, or a haunch of mutton anil the fruits of the season cherries or gooseberries or strawberries; and they loiter over the meal in the great low, cool kitchen. Each iwnf drinks .if the good red wine th.i gives force and joy. At 1 o'clock, with the scythes new aet, they go to the fields again. There 1 another respite In the day. At half past 4 a little lunch Is brought to the haymakers 'salad, usually, cream cheese and cold milk. Thereafter, until 9 o'clock when the shadows fall, there Is no pause In the steady swing of the scythes; It Is a day of seventeen hours, of which fifteen and a half at least have been work hours. The home coming Is slow and weary, without songs. Vance Thompson in Outing. STANDING ROOM ONLY. Mark Twain In his lecturing days, reached a small eastern town ope afternoon, and went to a barber's to be shaved. "You are a stranger In the town, sir?" the barber asked. "Yes, I'm a stranger here," was the reply. "We're having a good lecture here tonight, fir." said the barber. "A Mark Twain lecture. Are you going t. It?" "Yes, I think I will." said Mr. Clemens. "Then, sir. you'll have to stand." "Dear me:" Mr. Clemens exclaimed "It seems as if I always do, have to stand when I hear that man Twain lecture." INTO REST. Soft as the sobbing of the wave. Against the still short fretting; So gently falls the kiss of peace' on bruised hearts, forgetting. As gently comes the ripping tide, Tile low, sweet, mellow calling Of homing boats to quiet bay. And sheltering shadows falling. As gently comes, as tenderly, At quiet, holy even, Th passing of the tired heart Into the peace of heaven. W. A. D. In Nashville Fanner. WORLD WILL NEED STRXEGTH The world will no longer have time to fight, but will need all Its strength and brain to earn a living Useful discoveries will then bind the world together by ties of economic Interde pendeney. and the future will belong to the people who best understand how to apply the great principles of Intel lectual, moral and economic decelop ment.

Many neglect to deal with the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak nesses which too often come with mar rlago and motherhood, not understanding that this secret drain Is robbing the cheek of its freshness and tho form of Its fairness.

" The Friend of Farmers and Stockmen SILVElt OUTLOOK Silver now is lower than at any other lime since April, 1903, for about the only demand for silver at present Is from Indian bazaars, .for even the Indian mints have ceased buying the white metal since last year's crop failure. The banks of China have been going short of silver, selling on exchange, and the market may stiffen when they have to meet deliveries. Crop conditions In India are better this year than last, ami Germany may resume the coinage of silver, so that the future of the market is by no means gloomy, though no immediate change Is expested.

It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, and over comes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often through the day, and to get up many times during the nitjlit.
