The rendition Commercial associ ation is going to be rejuvenated. At the meeting last night practical steps were taken towards making the as sociation what It slmuld be. A committee of five was named to investigate the subject and to submit a general plan for the revival of the association. This committee Is al ready at work and when Its labors are finished its recommendations will Eastern Oregon is the j call for the most effective organiza tion possinie ana one provided witn quarters of which the people of the city will not be ashamed. After the plans fr' rejuvenation have b'en agreed upon the next task will be to secure the needed member ship at the fee required. The East rnegonian is confident that this sup port will be forthcoming, for the bus iness and professional men of the city are loyal-hearted and they know the v.ilue of ii live commercial club. If reports are true the machinery o. the Pendleton woolen mill Is to be sold for a song, for the sum of $$000, and the plant is to be moved to western Oregon. Are the people of Pendleton and Umatilla county going to permit this to be done? If they do this section of the state will lose one of the best industries It has ever had. It will lose an Industry that has done much to advertise this city and county all over the United States. Pendleton will lose a splendid payroll. Put the most reprehensible thing about the whole matter will be the fact that the mill will be taken from a place where it logically belongs. Here should be the home of the woolen mill. onl irrowinz cart of the state. In western Oregon they raise hops and catch salmon, but that Is not a woo! bearing country. A real band of sheep is never seen down there. The wool for the plant to be established n, Gordon Falls will have to be ship ped there from east of the Cascade mountains. But It will be argued that the woolen mill has always been a white elephant for its owners that its stockholders have never made any money out of it. Put thn who are familiar with the business know that the mill can be made to pay. While they were lessees. C. J. Ferguson and Jacob Sheuerrnan, both made money out of the plant. If they made money vhi'- running the plant upon a tem porary basis, could not a permanent management m ike the plant a con tinuous success? The stock argument against keep- I !(.' the mill at this place has been that power Is too expensive. Put new 1 pnwer plants are being developed all j around us and soon there will be an j alun lance of power. The people be hind the proposed Interurban line have pledged that they will furnish electrical power for Pendleton at one half its present cost. In view of this fact the old argu ment against the woolen mill is knor-k-d to splinters. To allow the mill to be moved now will mean that loeal people have maintained the mill during the period when its success vas a difficult, uphill Job and are go ing to abandon It at the very time v. Io n the greatest obstacle to its suc- -. is being removed. If 'he woolen mill plant can be had fT Miori the people of this city and county should be kicked for 50 miles if they allow the plant taken away. Th- money with which to finance the mill ran be raised with ease If the liaht men take the matter In hand. The sheepmen of this county could supply that amount of money as easy as one could blink an eye. This pa per believes they will do It If they are aked. W'har do you think about It, gentlemen? position by the grace of his fellow countrymen should be the president of all the. people, not the representa tive of any party, nice or creed. Because of the president's hasty aitton he Is now being criticised by those who In other matters are his warm supporters and defenders. Speaking upon this subject, the Or egon Journal says: On divers occasions, and with all llj strength, the Journal has suppi.rt e i and applauded President Roose velt. It has defended him many times, when he was censured by newspapers and public men In hl3 own party. It has sometimes de nded hint when he was under heavy fire from the democratic press of the country. But. In line with all the In dependent press, eastern and western, the Journal has nothing but censure for Mr. Roosevelt when, for petty and personal reasons, he drags the presi dential office Into poltics and trails It in the dust of partisanship. Mr, Roosevelt Is the chief magis trate of the nation, and stands as the embodied authority and sovereignty 85,000,000 of free people. As the president of the republic, exalted far above the storms, and the filth of po litical and personal disputation, he should at all times maintain that lofty dignity representative of a high minded and Intelligent citizenship. What the country has just witnessed, however. Is the high office of presi dent smeared and besllmet with the nastiness of a personal and belittling word combat between its Incumbent, and sundry persons throughout the country. The nation's executive, In stead of leaving the campaign and Its Issues and personalities to others, has stepped down Into the gutter to ban dy words with Haskell, to mingle with Hearst In the latter's errand and to be an all-round slugger In what the Springfield Republican calls "a dirty political mess." It Is unheard of. unjustifiable, and Indefensible, and a mighty bad example to set be fore the people of the country. trouble or the time that It takes them, The back Is bent, the eyes ore tired, the muscles lose the exercise that they should have, all for some senseless article of dross. My advice, there fore, Is not to consider anything done to Improve the looks "too much trouble" or that it Is time lost. Take seme of the money which you spend op. dress and appropriate it to learn ing nf those competent to tench how o take care of yourself. How to massage the face or the parts of the hodv that need It. I,earn how to man icure your nails properly, to rare for your complexion, and to do any of the things that are necessary to Im prove your appearance. Lessons In the proper way to carry yourself, to breathe properly and how to walk, will Improve your health. Loam to speak well and enunciate your words. Ir. fact, be candid with yourself, find out In what Is the required standard, and then put yourself to the accom plishment of It with as much zeal as you would have to array yourself In the latest fashion. NATURE'S PERFECT T0NIG There is scarcely any one, no matter how vigorous and healthy, whe does not need a tonic sometimes. Little physical irregularities upset the system, the appetite fails, digestion is poor, the body feels tired and worn out, and other unpleasant symptoms give warning that the system is disor dered and "needs assistance to ward off, perhaps, some serious sickness or ailment. S. S. S. is recognized everywhere as tie best of all tonics, nature's medicine, made entirely of healing, cleansing, invigorating roots and herbs, a systemic remedy without an equal. S. S. S. has the additional value of being the greatest of all blood purifiers. It re-establishes the healthy circu lation of the blood, rids the body of that tired, worn-out feeling, improves the appetite and digestion, and brings about a return of health to those whose systems have been weakened or depleted. S. S. S. acts more promptly and pleasantly than any other medicine, and those who are run down in health should commence its use at once. It will thoroughly purify the blood and tone up the system. S. S. S. is admirably suited for a systemic remedy because it is free from minerals ; it may be used without harmful results by persons of any age, and no unpleasant effects ever fnlli-w.

Some time ago a well known writer and traveler assembled a number or facts about Japan and China, In order to show the difference between ori e'r.tlal and occidental Ideas. In his statements about Japan tnese were noticed: - - Japan has nearly 50,000,000 people. more than half as many as the United States. Th word "mikado" signifies some thing like "the Sacred Gate or the Sublime Forte."- European dress is worn at all court functions. Rice Is the common food of the common people. Sixteen cents a day Is good pay for unskilled labor In Japan Ten years ago It was six cents. Japan has very few millionaires and practically no multi-millionaires. Toklo Is a hundred years older than St. Petersburg. The lovely Japanese cherry trees produce no cherries. On the Japanese stage male actors play the female roles. Japanese dead are buried In a squatting position, chin upon knees The Japanese people, even the poor, travel much In their own country. Modern Japanese coins and bank notes bear legends In English as well as In Japanese. Of Chinese customs the traveler writes: The Chinese points his compass south Instead of north. In saluting you, he puts on his hat. Walking with you, he keeps out of step. He shakes his own Land Instead of yours. He says east-south Instead of south east. To be polite he asks you your age and Income. His women often wear trousers, while he often wears a gown. He presents coffins to his friends as you present cigars or hooks.

Tii' re are few men of really unbi ased minds who do not regret Presi dent Roosevelt's descent Into the arena during the present campaign. The presidency Is regarded as the highest office In the world. People Ixlleve that the man who fills this founty Judge Humphrey of Queens surprised several young men despoil ing one of his rholee apple trees. Lashing his horse Into a run, he drove beneath the tree, In which were five voune men. says a New York dis patch. "Now, boys, I could hold court right here and send all of you to Jail," said the Judge, sternly. "Come down one at a time." Tremblingly they obeyed. They They made various excuses for steal ing the apples. One said he was hun gry. "All right,' said the Judge. "Pitch In and eat." When the young man had stowed away half a peck the Judge's stern expression relaxed. "Reminds me of my own capacity when I was a boy," he remarked. "There's the house, boys. When you are badly In need of apples Just knock and ak for what you want. If you t.ike them without asking you will gi t Into Jail. I'm going to give you another chance. Now go." KECKET OF GOOD I4OKS. The possibilities of changing the physique for the better are little dreamed of, sayn a writer In the Iidles' World.

Ii.d. eil, a complete installation of the latter was laid down, a cable being stretched across the gorge over the s'te, bringing the stone direct from the fuaries on the hillsides to the site ready for setting, but this had to be abandoned owing to Its being fiar more expensive than the "nowgunny" labor.

Jack Robinson has long been a fa vorite synonym for rapidity of speech or action, but possibly few people who use the phrase are aware that Jack Robinson was a real, live person. "As a polit'cian," says Lady Dor othy N'evlll In her "Reminiscences," John Robinson was a great favorite with George III. His political career was long, for he was a member for Harwich during 2d years, being on one occasion bitterly attacked by Sheri dan, who, denouncing bribery and Its Instigators, replied to the cries of 'Name! Name" by pointing to Rob inson on the treasury bench, exclaim ing at the same time, Yes, I could name him as soon as I could say Jack Robinson,' and thus originated the saying still current at the present day."
