flee to keep
Want from my door; no watch

My livery, nor guard me while
I sleep;
I am a poor man, but no
children weep
In cheerless places or go hungry
to their beds
Because of greed that I have
ever shown;
No hopeless men are sitting with
bowed heads
Because of hopes I have
overthrown
By claiming earnings which
were not my own.
I am a poor man; I must long
In vain
For luxuries my purse will not
supply;
But I have never shamed myself
to gain
Their favor who are powerful
or high;,
I am a poor man, but I have
not cared to try
To profit by debauching or by
tempting those
To whom the public's trusts
have been consigned;
I have not looked upon men as
my foes
Because they have with splen
did zeal declined
To herd with those that were
to honor blind.

HOPE FOH THE XOK.MAL.
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.

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.

Removing the symptoms is not all that is necessary to cure Con
tagious Blood Poison. 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. S.
is made entirely 5f roots, herbs and barks, all of which are heal
ing and cleansing in their nature. It does not contain a particle
of mineral in any rorm 10 injure uie aeucaie pans or uie sysiera.
S. S. S. will also drive out any lingering remains of mineral poiwp
that may be in the blood from the former treatment. If you are suf
fering with Contagious Blood Poison S. S. S. will cure you. because it
wjll purify your blood. Home treatment book and any medical advice

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.

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.

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..
