OMNIPOTENCE.
When will we learn, O Lord,
That we are greatly blessed?
That Thou at every feast
Dost sit, an unseen guest?
Behold this blossomed grass!
On each bright spear of green
A star of blue or gold
And violets between.
So multiplies Thy grace,
Thou need'st must scatter
wide;
And where is beauty's flood
Send still its magic tide.
Light, color, fragrance, sound,
Are symbols, Lord, of Thee,
Thy never-ending book
And our phylactery.

JOBBING POSSIBILITIES.
The announcement that one of the
local Implement houses Is going to
do a wholesale business In certain
lir.es Is Interesting. It brings up the
subject of Pendleton's possibilities as
a Jobbing point. Is it not possible for
Pendleton, at this time, to do more
of a jobbing business than It does
and will not the shake-up In freight
rates aid In the upbuilding of this
business?
Through the operations of the ter
minal rate system Portland has been
made the sole jobbing point for Ore
gon. Farm machinery manufactur
ed In the east Is shipped through
eastern Oregon into Portland and Is
Mien shipped back to the dealers and
consumers east of the Cascade moun
tains. Even If carload shipments are
dropped off in eastern Oregon towns
the dealers arc subjected to the in
Justice of paying the rate to Portland
plus the return local rate.
But In the Spokane rate case the
Interstate commerce commission has
siven a decision that promises to
materially alter the freight rate sit
uation and It may lead io the abolitl
on of the terminal rate system.
Should it do so there will be a tre
menduous shake-up in business. The
biz coast cities will no longer be
able to monopolize the Jobbing busl
ness of the west. Instead the busl
ness will be distributed over the whole
country and any town so uituated as
t- command a big tributary territory
such as this city has, will have an
opportunity to develop a Jobbing bus!
ness.
Pendleton geems especially well sit
uated to become a wholesale Imple
ment town. It Is the center of a vast
agricultural section. As the Interior
country, now without railroad con
netions, becomes more closely de
veloped Pendleton's field will be fur
ther enlarged. Then Pendleton Is
very fortunate in the matter of rail
road connections. It Is the only east
ern Oregon point having connection
with both the Hill and Harrlman
lines.
Under the new regime the eastern
manufacturers of farming machinery
may want to make this city a dis
tributing point for eastern Oregon and
a portion of eastern Washington. It
they do Pendleton should lend them
every encouragement.
It Is a time for people to keep their
eyes open. The shake-up that has
been started may open many oppor
tunities to Pendleton and other small
Inland cities. It will be well to keep
alive to the situation so that these
opportunities may not be lost.
LENGTHENING LIFE.
Some scientists have a theory that
man should live longer than he does.
According to Mutchnkoff, since it re
quires 20 years for a man to get his
growth, he should by the nature of
things as traced by other animals, live
to an age equal to seven times 20
years, or the ripe age o 140.
It Is easily possible that through
improper methods of living and the
lack of proper medical science man
litis not boon living ag long as he
should. That this is true Is Indicated
by the fact that improvements In med
ical science have had the effect of
lengthening life.
Statistics show that within the pa.st
100 years the life of the averuge man
has been lengthened from eight to 12
years. This hns been due to the fact
that science now battlos more suc
cessfully with disease than in the
past. Great pestilences do not occur
now In civilized countries. When
bubonic plague or Asiatic cholera are
prevalent In other portions of the
world the United States health of
ficers stop the entrance of the dis
ease Into America.
Medical science also battles with
such epidemics as small pox and
scarlet fever more successfully than
it did. r.y the practice of vaccination
small pox has been robbed of Its old
time terror and the great crusade
new being made against tuberculosis
promises to cut down the mortality
from that source. The adoption of
proper sanitary methods In big cities
has materially Improved the health of
the crowded centers of population.
All this has the effect of lengthen
ing life and there, Is every reason why,
as civilization advances, man consid
ered In the aggregate should come to
live longer and longer. The average
life Is undoubtedly being lengthened
and if it Iswhy should not the Indi
vidual age limit also bo extended?
FIGHT IT OUT.
The people of Weston feel bitter
and discouraged over the treatment of
the Eastern Oregon normal school.
They have abundance of reason for
feeling as they do. But the normal
schools are not dead, officially, and
where there's life there's hope. In
the past the Eastern Oregon normal
has had rough travelling but has con
tinued to go forward. It may be that
the present trouble will not be fatal.
If an Initiative measure providing for
the maintenance of the school is pre
sented before the people at the next
election the bill will likely be adopted.
There Is a strong general sentiment
throughout the state that eastern
Oregon is entitled to an educational
institution. In view of this sentiment
it should be worth while for the peo
ple of Weston to make a final effort
t- have the school sustained. Carry
the fight to the finish and If defeat is
to be the end of all the work In be
half of the schoo'l then let It coma
In the last ditch.
WATCHFULNESS NEEDED.
Over In the cities of eastern Wash
ington a very serious epidemic of
scarlet fever Is now raging. In Spo
kane the disease has gotten an es
pecially strong foothold and every
possible step Is being taken to stamp
it out. Great precautions are being
token to prevent its further spread
and the city officials are doing every
thing possible to remove possible caus
es of the epidemic. In view of the
proximity of the eastern Washington
towns with those of eastern Oregon
it will be well for the towns In this
section to be on guard. J
Blind Senator Gore has introduced
a resolution calling for an Investiga
tion of high prices and the cause
thereof. The cause Is so apparent that
blind as he Is Senator Gore sees It.
The news that the railroads believe
the return of prosperity Is at hand and
are ordering new equipment Is of the
sort to warm the hearts of business
men.
The anglers will hold a meeting
this evening. Probably the fish are
not biting as they should.
The Pendleton fan leads a gloomy
life.
CANDIDLY, NOW.
Lady, with your soup-bowl hat,
Near-dlrectolre gown and make-up,
With your curves all to the flat,
Quite In. line with fashion's shake
up. With your long plumes all a-wave
When you gladly trip the pave
As on toward the shops you hike It,
Do you like It?
When reform has done Its work
E'en though hubby much has
scolded
And with many a strain and Jerk
You Into new shape are molded,
Do you wholly feel at ease
In your efforts thus to please?
Smiles that match your costume
rakish
Are they fakish?
And when you have closed your tour
Of the downtown streets ror shop
ping, And you're home again, are your
Inclinations to be stopping
Long before you want to take
Em off to comfort's sake,
And put on, though not so dapper,
Just a wrapper?

SEX ALLISON'S RECOHD TERM;.
"I have been Intimately acquainted
with ten different presidents of the
I'nlted States, and during their In
cumbencles of the presidential office
I was a member of tho senate or
house of representatives. .. I entored
congress a member from Iowa In
1863, In the midst of tho civil war. I
served eight years In the house and
entered the senate In 1873, and have
been a member of that body contin
uously since that time. The presi
dents I hnve known were Lincoln,
Johnson, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Ar
thus, Cleveland, Harrison, McKlnley
and Roosevelt."
With these words tho late Senator
Allison entered upon nn Interesting
reminiscence when asked about pub
lic men he had known In his long ca
reer. The late senator had then
achieved a record which eclipsed all
others and which may not soon bo
equaled. He had been a member of
the senate continuously for thirty-five
years, and was serving h!s sixth con
secutive term. Other men had been
elected for six terms one of them,
the late Senator Morgan of Alabama,
had entered upon his sixth consecu
tive term, and, if he could have lived
to the age of senators who have died
In harness, he would have had forty
two years of continuous service in the
senate. Justin S. Morrill of Vermont,
was for more than thirty years a
member of the senate, bu; he only
lived a little more than a year after
entering upon his sixth form. John
Sherman of Ohio, was longer in actual
service than Morrill, hav!.. thirty
two years to his credit bu. ills service
was Interrupted by four years' vacan
cy when he was secretary of the treas
ury under President Hay From

THE POINT OF VIEW.
"Uncle Rasom," said the planter,
"you rode my best horse twenty m'les
to that festival Saturday night: you
kept him out all day Sunday and near
ly killed him Sunday. How many
times have I told you to In :.y horses
rest on Sunday?"
"Yes, suh, Marse Rober', dat's so,
but "
"How many times have I told you if
you didn't quit that, you and I could
n't get along together on this place?"
"Dat's sho' Is the trufe, Marse Rob
ert. You p'lntendly tole me dat
but you knows a nigger, he jes' nach
erly forglts."
"Every nigger on this place believes
that he can do exactly as he pleases."
"Dar now' bless Gawd, you sho'
spoke a parable; dese young n'ggers
Is gittin' mighty trifflin'."
"It has come to this. Ransom: Re
veille is not big enough for you and
me. Tomorrow morning we part; you
go your way and I go mine."
"Yes suh."
The. old negro looked sorely troubl
ed and bewildered. He glanced over
his shoulder at the rippling lake, the
open cotton, the perfectly level fields.
Ransom had been born on Reveille
and had never known any other home.
H's heart went out In supreme pity
for the man who had to leave It.
"Well, Marse Robert, of we Jes can't
git along together ef we's Jes' boun'
teT seperate, would you mind tellin'
me whar'bouts you 'spects ter go?"
Harris Dickson, In the May Every
body's. Bramley had a dog. It was a
good, gristly dog, with a fond brown
eye and bay-window teeth. He was a
dog with a sense of humor, too. He
loved to sit upon his master's doorstep
and blink dreamily until a stranger
passed his house. Then he would
leap up and bark In a manner which
suggested that the stranger was a
deep-dyed vllllan.
"Possibly," remarked a passer-by
to Bramley, "If I were to give that
ill-conditioned brute a sound kicking
he would stop scaring passers-by out
of their wits."
"I dare say," drawled Bramley. "He
never barks with his mouth full of
meat."
Every two months or
so, you should give your
piano a bath.
A bath! That sounds
odd, doesn't it?
Nevertheless, it is the
thing to do.
