Last evening the annual commence ment exercises were held at the Eastern Oregon normal school and 11 graduates were given diplomas. Some 200 other students who entered this school in hopes of finishing the course will have to give up their work. This la unjust to the students and the clos ing of the normal schools Is to the shame of the people of Oregon. Primarily the closing down of the normal schools was due to the fact that they were libelled, flagrantly and persistently. The H? that were cir culated regarding the schools caused some good men to become disposed against them; other men. In the state senate, turned against them for polltl cal reasons. But all this is of the past. It Is not of so much importance now how the schools came to be left without funds. The fact stands out that the schools are without money and must remain closed for at least two years. The question now Is what shall be done with them in the future. There is yet hope tor the normals and It lies in an appeal to the people of the state under the initiative. With respect to the Eastern Ore gon normal, at least, this paper is firmly In favor of asking for support upder'nhe Initiative. The East Ore gonian believes that at the coming state election the friends of the Wes ton school should present a bill pro viding for the maintenance of that Institution. Should they choose to do so the friends of the Monmouth and Arhland schools may do the same for those schools. But each school should stand entirely alone and live or die up on its own merits. If the claims of the Eastern Ore gon normal school are properly pre sented to the people of the state at ttu- next election the school will be sustained. The rank and file of the people of this state are favorable to education and they know that nor mal schools are an Indispensable part of the e ducatlonal structure. Fur thermore they know that Eastern Ore. gon, with Its 15 counties, embracing two thirds the area of the state, Is Justly entitled to a school. The th'-ory that the state should have but one normal, located In or near Port land. Is rankly uusurd and this can be shown very clearly. Just now the fortunes of the East ern Oregon normal are at low M). The school has been betrayed and mistreated and along with the other two state normals must remain closed for two years. But the school Is still a legal state Institution and its colors have not been lowered. The friends of the school should stand by until the fight is finished. SF.XATOli IT.MMINS LAMPPOST. Throughout the country much Inter est has been taken In Senator Cum min's controversy with the "stand patters" in the upper house of con gress. Commenting upon one of the senator's most Interesting tilts the Snn Francisco Examiner said: ''Senator Cummins' speech on over capitalization In the senate had a special tang because old-fahloned Republican Senators do not usually talk that way. "Tile Senator's appointment of a lamppost death for the Napoleon of industrial organization "that single man who shall some day direct the ei.trgies of the earth and control the industrial fortunes of mankind' was. of course, a bumping piece of rhetoric. "But the Senator has the country and the world behind him In his Indig nant invective against the overcapi talization of great industrial corpor ations and the huge unearned Incomes that flow therefrom. "The income tax aims to get at these unearned Incomes and pare them down. "It is to be noted that In every Eu ropean country where an income tax is in operation a broad distinction Is made between earned and unearned incomes, and the rule Is that income taxes are so drawn as to bear much more heavily upon the latter. "The day will come, of course in a future more or less remote when nobody will get Incomes without earn ing them. "Meanwhile ve shall have to make shift through income taxes or other wise to keep the unearned incomes within reach of the law. "The single ruthless master of mon opoly, 'directing the energies of the earth,' is a Brocken shadow a wraith of the Senatorial imagination. "But the Senator is quite right in saying that if this ghost should ever take on solid flesh It certainly would get itself hanged." SPIHIT OF THE TRACK. There are some who look upon field meets, football, etc., as being of value only from an amusement standpoint. They believe that the students want to do something and so engage in ath letics for entertainment. But this view of athletics Is all wrong. The entertainment feature is of the least important. The ' good comes from the careful physical train ing to which the athletes are subjected the enthusiasm that Is kindled and from other sources. A good feature about school athletics is the fact that students are taught that they must rigidly observe the rules of the game. Violations of the rules bring severe penalties and the athlete who ac quires a reputation for being "dirty" is always looked upon with disfavor. But probably the most value from school sports come from the strong spirit that Is engendered. A football game or a track meet always makes the fire of school patriotism burn brightly and out of this feeling comes the "do or die" spirit that wins vic tories. This spirit is a fine thing to encourage in students. It is a good thine for them to take with them when they graduate from school Wellington declared that the battle of Waterloo was won on the football fields of England. So was the Span ish war won in the public schools of America. But cheerful enthusiasm and a heal thy fighting spirit is as valuable in the business world as it is on the gory field. Without some enthusiasm and some fighting blood a man can do nothing in business, politics or in any other line. In everything it is the spirit that wins. The high school track meet yester day once more brought to mind Pen dleton's need of a good athletic field. Such meets as were held yesterday are worthy of encouragement. So are good football and good baseball games But Pendleton is not well prepared to handle such sports. Here's hoping good athletic field may be secured in the near future. All the world likes the man who goes in to win, whether he be entered in the 100 yard dash or in one of the more serious contests in which all must take part. "Some warm weather and much rain" Is the weather signal the in land empire farmer would like to see. Baker City did well for a town of It size. Recent successes in the art of sky salllng have stimulated the toy de signers and at the present time there are a number of flying machine toys to amuse the children. SANDY'S VICTORY. MM Old Sandy was a herder well, just a wee bit daft; He lived up In Wyoming in a white topped wagon craft, And he was alius serious some say he never laughed. We'd draw across the country, a deal line that was plali.. But Sandy crossed one. niornln' und stood there In the rain. While w0 rode up and told him he must go back again. We gave him till next mornin' to move his sheep away; He waited; still and patient, till we had said our say But we seen he hadn't vamoosed when we came back next day. We rode up to his wagon, a red-hot, eussin' crowd, But out pops locoed Sandy, with bag pipes skitiln' loud, And at his side a claymore and In was struttin' proud. There ain't no bronco livln' that bag pipes wouldn't scare, And the first notes that came squeakln' set ours n-buckln fair; But Sandy kept on playln' a Scotch inarch In' air. Eight cowmen were unsaddled. and those of us that stayed. Was leapin' 'cross the sagebrush no stops for any grade!, But still old Sandy strutted and still the bagpipe played. Well, And And we was weak for laughin', but grasped the herder's hand, bade the victor welcome him and his wooly bana Sandy and his bagpipe have stayed In Cattle Land. Denver Republican. THE MESSAGE. I heard a medder lark Down by the c'rals, 'twixed day and dark; . 'Twns just a single, liquid note, But how my heart leaped In my throat; And then I turned And learned ' I'm alius just that slow and dumb That spring had come. I heard a medder lark And you can bet I stopped to hark; I might have knowed it all day long. Because the crock was runnin' strong And gurglin' things. But Jings! The message didn't have me thrilled Till that bird trilled. I heard a medder lark It seems as if the kyote's bark Was stopped, and all the prairie kin Was waitln' for that note ag'ln; But all was still No thrill Was heard, but in the mornin' early, shore, 'Twill rise onc't more. Denver Republican. OUR AMAZING GROWTH. Perhaps the best test of our busi ness growth Is shown by the receipts of the postofflce department from the sale 'of stamps. In 1S20 the receipts were about $1,000,000; by 1850 they Increased to 20,000,000, in 1S70 to $33,000,00, in in 1900 to $102,000,000, and In 190S to $191,500,000. The figures show that In 1907 the number of letters and post cards sent through the postal system of the I'nl ted States was 6,466,000,000, as against 3,263,000,000 In the German empire, 3.339,000.000 in the United Kingdom, 1.119.000.000 in France, and 1,067,000,000 in Austria-Hungary. The telegraph messages sent In the United States in 1907 reached the enormous number of 98,000,000.000. In this connection it must be remem bered that the telephone Is a large competitor of the telegraph, especial ly for long commercial messages, and It is growing In favor each year. In nearly every step of the world's progress during the last hundred years the United States has been the pioneer. Washington (D. C.) Post. CherrlcH Hriiii; $21 IU.

The virulent germs which produce these out ward manifestations must be completely driven from the blood before a real cure can be effected. The least taint left in the circulation will, sooner or later, cause a fresh outbreak of the trouble, with all the hid eous symptoms of ulcerated mouth and throat, copper colored splotches, falling hair, sores and ulcers, etc. Contagious Blood Poison is the most treacherous of all diseases. It has its victims in its power almost before they realize its presence, because its first symptom is usually a little sore or pimple so insignificant that it does not excite sus picion. But the insidious poison is at work on the blood and in a short while the pa tient finds he is more or less affected from head to foot. Contagious Blood Poison is too dangerous to trifle with. No time should be lost in rid ding the blood of this destruc tive poison, and in no disease is it more important to have the proper remedy. Medi cines which merely checlc the symptoms for a time and leave the real cause smouldering in the system have brought mis ery and disappointment to thousands. Faithfully the suf ferers took such treatment, usually of mineral nature, and when all symptoms had dis appeared and the treatment was left off, found the virus had only been shut up in the system awaiting a favorable opportunity to return, with every symptom intensified. S. S. S. cures Contagious Blood Poison and cures it permanently. It goes down into the blood and removes every particle of the poion, makes the circulation pure and healthv. and does not leave the slightest trace of the disease for future outbreaks. S. S.

LAMBERT, Notary Public for Oregon. Byers' Best Flour CURED SOUND AND WELL. DtartHrt: Ididn't find out that I had contracted Contagion Blood Poiaon until it had made consider able headway, and fortunately tor me the lriend that I first consulted had had tome experience with the disease, and adrised me to take 8. S. 6. , so I didn't fool with any doctors, but began at once the use of your medicine, taking it as directed. My (riend told me to stick to it, and that was what I did and got along splendidly from the very first, and my recovery was rapid. I took a number of bottles, and am now as well as ever. When I began 8.8.8. my face was to full of tores and eruptions that I could not shave, and now there is not a blotch or pimple on my body. There Is nothing in the world that can beat 8. 8. 8. for Blood Poison, and I al ways recommend it for such cates. A friend of mine is taking it now. and is getting along nicely. WALTkU W&EKR. 204 Oakley St, Bransville, Ind. COVERED WITH SORBS. I was afflicted with a terrible blood disease, which was in spots at first, but afterwards spread all over my body. These soon broke out into sores, and it is easy to imagine the suffering I endured. Before I became convinced that the doctors could do me no good , I had spent a hundred dollars, which was really thrown away. I then tried various patent medicines, but they did not reach the disease. When 1 bad finished my first bottle of 8. 8. 8. I was greatly improved, and was delighted with the result. The large red splotches on my chest began to grow paler and smaller, and before long disap peared entirely. I regained my lost weight, be came stronger and my appetite grtatly improved. I was toon entirely well, and my skin as clear as piece of glass. B. L. WTBRS. SI Clinton Street, Newark, N. J; THS USUAL SYMPTOMS. Baring nted S. 8. 8. quite extensively, I an to position to know its virtu. As the result of a se rious blood disorder my blood became poisoned and I suffered severely with Rheumatism and ouSar symptom not necessary to mention. A friend told me he had been cured of my trouble by 8. S. 8. and upon bis racommendatioa I began its oat. Af ter using it for some time my blood was thoroughly cleansed of an poisons and mad pore and strong again. I wish alto to speak of It tonic properties. It built op my general health, It improved my appe tite, rave me Increased strength, and I felt better U everyway. I am a great believer In 8. 8. 8.. and with pleasure recommend It to all who need a goo' blood medicine. ROBBRT at.
