.UNION, 4fcLABEI,
NOT REALLY WISE.
Sages are not really wise
Till they read In Folly's eyes
Wisdom that escapes the
schools,
Lore that puts to rout all rules.
Tell me, sages, what love Is!
Silent? Oh. what fool would
miss
Kiss or laughter, glance or sigh.
Waiting for your slow reply?
Sages, tell me, what is life?
Mumble you of "Joy" and
. "strife"?
While you definitions give
Fools like me rejoice to live!
While you labor, dig and seek.
Dull of eye and gray of cheek
While you study, delve, explain.
Define, examine, think, refrain.
Search to find the meaning of
Life and Death and Joy and
Love
Laws discover, reasons frame
You forget to play the game!
Pages are not really wise.
Lacking wisdom to revise
Ail thev teach and learn
in
schools.
By the laughter of us fools:
Don llaniuis.
GOOD NEWS FOR UMATILLA.
There is Joyous news for Umatilla
county in the announcement from
Washington that the federal govern
ment will establish an experiment sta.
tion upon the Umatilla project and
will pay half the cost of maintaining
the same.
Through the influence of President
W. J. Kerr of the agricultural collegb,
the department of the interior has
been induced to take vigorous action
It: the matter. This js evidenced by
the announcement that Secretary
Garfield has set aside enough money
tj construct the needed buildings and
equip the station.
Seemingly all that now remains for
local people to do is to secure from
the state sufficient money to meet the
other half of the maintenance cost.
It should be an easy matter to do
this, especially in view of the strong
delegation this county has in the leg
islature. Nevertheless, nothing
should be left undone in the matter.
The, people of the west end should
get together and C that the neces
sary appropriation is made by the
slate. It is a matter of vital im
portance to the west end and the sub
ject should be handled accordingly.
Through the establishment of an
e.perimental farm upon the projec.
untold good will result to the settlers
ii: that section. In the settlement of
the west end there are many prob
lems to be worked out. The success
or the project will depend largely up
on the methods followed by the set
tiers. If properly conducted, as it
doubtless will be, the station will b
able to give advice that will be worth
thousands of dollars to settlers in that
arid empire.
Of almost equal Importance to this
county will be the establishment of a
(!ry land experimental station in one
of the counties west of Umatilla.
Through the work of President Kerr
the department ' has agreed to give
the same aid to a dry land station
that it will to the one upon the Uma
tilla project.
Though It would be preferable to
have the dry land station in this
county, yet it will be of much benefit
to Umatilla county farmers even
though located In Morrow, Sherman
or Gilliam. The climatic condition
there are much the same as In thU
county. The work done will apply
here as well as there.
All In all, the news from Washing
ton I the best Umatilla county has
received for many months and Pres
ident Kerr is entitled to high praise
for the good he ha accomplished.
A DISC ItEDITAULE ATTACK,
Now it Is said that a lull has been
oidered In the antl-atatement fight
ar.d that for a month the organ of
pledge-breaking will say little or
nothing upon the subject. The re
ctnt attitude of some of those papers
Indicates that Instructions are being
followed closely.
It would have been to the credit of
Oregon had the attack never been
undertaken. The attempt to defeat
Governor Chamberlain for the sena-
tcrshlp Is one which, whether It suc
ceeded or not, meant discredit to this
state and to the people thereof.
When the people of the state en
dorsed Chamberlain last spring and
also chose a statement 1 legislature,
that should have settled the senator-
ship completely. It did settle it with
the rank and file of the people.
Seemingly the attempt to break in
to the statement 1 phalanx has failed
and failed miserably. It deserves to
fail. In the first place it was not a
move In behalf of the republican
party as has been claimed. It was
Inspired by people who dislike the
direct primary system and by people
who hope to profit personally In the
event of Chamberlain's defeat.
The heart of the republican party
of Oregon has not been In the fight.
The average republican Is against the
move. Some of the biggest republi
cans in the state have denounced the
scheme in unmeasured terms. Even
In the executive committee of the
Union Republican club of Portland
there was strong opposition to the
move. The president of the club and
Its most Influential members were
oi posed to going Into the fight. Out
side workers were responsible for the
resolution that was finally passed.
So far the attack upon statement
No. 1 and the honesty of the legislators-elect
has been a fizzle. May It
continue to be such.
RESERVATION ROADS.
By taking up the subject of better
highways for the reservation the good
cads association is entering a field
where there is much to be accom
plished.
At the present time the roads upon
the reservation are not what they
should be. Though the reservation
embraces the best land in the conny
the roads are practically left to take
care of themselves. So badly cut up
dc they become at times that com
fortable travel across the reservation
K out of the question. The grades
are poor, the bridges bad and often
unsafe.
Then upon top of all this, there 1
no official highway across the reser
vation. Stockmen wishing to cross
the Indian land must pay toll and
have their herds or flocks guarded
by a band of Indian police.
This is not right in any sense of
the word. If the Indians are to be
citizens they should share in the work
of civilization as well as In the gain.
The roads upon the reservation should
be laid out along model lines and
maintained as well as any In the
ccunty.
And there is no reason on earth
why stockmen should be charged for
crossing the reservation. They
should be forced to observe proper
care In crossing and if damage is in
flicted by the herds or bands the In
jured parties should be fully recom
pensed. But toll should hot be charg
ed. In the past the government people
have indicated that highways might
be opened across the reservation.
Put thus far nothing has been done,
possibly because the subject has not
been brought before them. Now that
the good roads officers are taking the
matter up let it be hoped that some
tangible good will result. The East
Oregonlan hopes that the result will
be better roads and free open high
ways across the reservation.
Senator Fulton has announced In
Washington that the legsllators will
break their statement 1 pledges and
refuse to elect Governor Chamberlain
senator. But where is his commission
as the spokesman for the Oregon leg
islature or for the people of this
state?
President Kerr is somewhat of a
congressman himself. At least he has
gotten results In the matter of the ex
periment stations and it did not take
him lang either.
Don't forget the woolen mill and
the Commercial association revival.
These two things Pendleton needs
badly. Help them along.
NOT VERY USEFUL.
A man who stuttered badly went to
a specialist and after ten difficult
lessons learned to say quite distinctly,
"Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled
peppers." His friends congratulated
him upon this splendid achievement.
"Yes." said the man doubtfully,
"but lt'a 's-s-such a d-d-ducedly d-d-d-dlfficult
rem-mark to w-w-work In
to an ordln-n-nary c-c-conversatlon,
y'know." Everybody's Magazine.

THE CONQUEROR.
Baby, baby, where have you been?"
"I fell dow n uh" mud."
"You've dirtied your dresa and
scratched your skin!"
"I fell down uh mud."
"What on earth Is mother to do
With a bad little, sad little boy like
you,
Who doesn't do what she tolls him
too?"
"I fell down uh mud "
"Didn't you hear me call you back?"
"I fell down uh mud."
"Yes, and you crossed the street, car
track!"
"I fell down uh mud."
"Suppose you had been hurt awfully
bad,
Poor mamma would cry so If you
had;
Do you want poor mamma to feel so
sad?"
"I fell down uh mud."
'.'Supposing a horsey had come that
way?"
"I fell down uh mud."
"Or a choo-choo nuto had listen!
say!"
"I fell down uh mud."
'Gracious heavens, he'll drive mo
wild.
Was there ever such a persistent
child?
Oh, mamma's not pleased because she
smiled!"
"I fell down us mud."
"Haven't I didn't you listen, dear!"
"I fell down uh mud."
"Don't you say that again! You
hear?"
"I fell down uh mud."
"Can't I leave you without a guard?
Didn't I say to stay in the yard?
I've a notion to spank you spank
you hard!"
"Ow wow wown uh wud!''
"There, there, sweetheart; that didn't
hurt."
"I FELL DOWN UH MUD!"
"Come to mamma; who cares for
dirt?"
Ifell down uh mud."
"Mamma will cuddle him; stand on
her knees;
Put your arms 'round her and give
her a squeeze;
Tell her you love her. Now, whisper
It; please!" "

EASY TO DRIFT.
Easy to drift to the open sea.
The tides are eager and swift and
strong.
And whistling and free are the rush-
iim' winds
But, oh, to get back is hard and
long.
Easy as told In Arabian tale.
To free from his jar the evil sprite,
Till he rises like smoke to stupendous
oh, nevermore, can we prison
him t'ght.
Easy as told in an English tale,
To fashion a Frankenstein body
and soul,
And breathe in his bosom a breath .of
life
But, oh, we create what we cannot
control,
Easy to drift to the sea of doubt,
Easy to hurt what we cannot heal,
Easy to rouse what we cannot soothe,
Easy to speak what we do not feel,
Easv to show what we ought to
. conceal,-
Easy to think that fancy Is fate,
And, oh, the wisdom that comes too
late! Oliver Huckle.
A BAD VOKI.
At a London dinner recently the
conversation turned to the various
methods employed by literary genius
es. . Among the examples cited was
that of a well-known poet, who, it was
said, was wont to arouse his wife
about 4 o'clock in the corning and
exclaim, "Maria, get up; I've thought
of a good word!" Whereupon the
poet's obedient helpmate would crawl
out of bed and make a note of the
thought-of-word.
About an hour later, like as not, a
new Inspiration would seize the bard,
whereupon he would again arouse his
wife, saying, "Maria, Maria, get up!
I've thought of a better word!"
The company In general listened to
the storv with admiration. but a
merry-eyed American girl remarked:
"Well, If he'd been my husband I
should have replied, 'Alpheus, get up
yourself; I've thought of a bad word!"

A BAPTIST ELDER
Restored to Health by Vino!
"I was run down and weak from In
digestion and general debility, altso suf
fered from vertigo. I saw a cod liver
preparation called Vinol advertised un4
oecided to give it a trial, and the re
sults were n.ost gratifying. After tak
ing two bottles I regained my
strength and am now feeling unusually
well." Henry Cunningham, Elder Bap
tist Church, Kingston, N. C.
VlnoI Is not a patent medicine but a
preparation composed of the medicinal
elements of cods' livers, combined with
tonic Iron and wine. VlnoI creates
hearty appetite, tones up the organs
of digestion and makes rich, red blood.
In this natural manner, VlnoI created
strength for the run-down, over
worked and debilitated, and for deli
cate children and old people. For
chronic coughs, colds and bronchitis
VlnoI Is unexcelled.
All such persons In this vicinity are
iflked to try VlnoI on our offer to re
fund their money If II falls to give -t-a
faction.
