Oregon, as second-class mall mattei.
There is trouble and grieving
wherever we go.
There is always the trace of
the tear; .
We cannot escape from the pres
et ence of woe,
Vice ever is hovering near,
For each who remains on his
feet through the strife
A hundred men stumble and
fall;
There are few who command in
the battle of life
4 But
It's a pretty good world after
all.
SOT OVER CROWDED.
1 During the commencement season
it is customary for speakers to warn
graduates against entering the "over
crowded professions." This tendency
has caused the Washington Post to
take the subject up in an editorial
way and it tries to point out that there
Li plenty of room for the graduates
If they will but show some common
e,nse in selecting vocations.
Among other callings the Post re
ters to the profession of farming
which it considers in much the same
light as that of engineering, medicine,
law and other lines which are usually
referred to as the "professions:"
"The farmer who makes money out
of his crops in the future will not be
the toy who has learned his farming
by following the plow, but the one
who studied soils in. the laboratory
and the cultivation of plants at the
experiment stations. It will be the
professional farmer who will gather
the plums In the next generation.
"So the boy who feels his ambitions
crumble at the cry of overcrowded
professions need not lose heart. The
practical professions are of prime im
portance in the world today. They
demand as much intelligence as the
others, as much energy, and a nearly
equal amount of study along speciali
zed lines. Best of all. they pay well,
and there Is no overcrowding to get
at the toji for the top is as wide as
the circumference of the earth."
This characterization of agriculture
applies especially well in the west. In
this country land may he obtained
easily and it is a well known fact that
farming is the most remunerative call
ing there Is.
STOP THIS EVIL.
Men who are In the mercantile bus
iness make Just complaint of the wide
extent to which people indulge in the
"mail order habit." It is charged
that ladies are especially prone to be
come victims of this custom. The
word "victim" Is a good one to use In
this connection because the mail or
der habit is nothing more or less than
a species of gambling.
People who patronize mall order
houses do so in hopes of getting some
thing at less than the regulation
price. They are willing to "take a
chance" at getting a bargain. As In
other games of chance the players lose
more often than they win, yet they are
so fascinated iby the game that they
forget their many disappointments If
now and then they win something.
But the serious thing about this
matter is the fact that those who
patronize the mall order establish
tnents are not the only people who
suffer. Local business houses that
are rightfully entitled to the trade
that goes away ire also losers. In
directly the entire community is in
Jured when people Indulge to any ex
tent in the mall order habit
The ladies of this cfty and of the
county as well have a well earned
reputation for helng public spirited,
They have done much In many ways
for the advancement of the city and
county. They can work very effect'
Ively for the welfare of the community
If they will tut frown down this ten
dency to patronize outside business
concerns rather than local stores. The
mail order habit is a real evil. Help
stop It.
ENGLAND AND GERMANY.
That the world Is still In an age
when wars are possible and that ar
maments are yet needed Is generally
admitted. But the Idea of a great
war between England nnd Germany
sounds like an' absurdity.
Why shoufd England and Germany
go to war. Both nations are of the
same race of the same flesh and
blood. Both are civilized nations In
habited by people who have a com
mon ancestry. They have a common
civilization. It would be the height
of folly for two such nations to en
gajre in war.
Henceforth there should be peace
between the cauenssan nations of the
earth, at least. These nations have
nothing to gain by fighting among
themselves. The differences they may
have, growing out of commercial Jeal
ousies or other causes, may easily be
settled by diplomacy. They will be
settled In that manner.
If there are to be any further wars
they will be, not between England
and Germany or between any other
white powers of the earth, but between
the east and the west. ' between the
civilization of the orient and that of
Europe and America there are vast
differences. The people are of differ
ent races, different creeds and the
manners and customs of the people
are radically different. With the
rapid advancement upon which the
people of the east have Just started
some very serious problems naturally
arise. There Is a field for conflict of
Interest. Japan and Russia have al
ready fought one war and they may
clash again, There are many who be
lieve that a war between Japan and
some white power to foe almost Ine
vitable. But it is difficult for sure to see any
valid reason why England and Ger
many should fight or why there
should be any apprehension at all as
ti a war between those nations.
THE C1RCI S POSTERS.
Just at present Pendleton is suf
fering from the rapacity of the circus
bill poster. Not only are the hill
boards covered but old buildings
have been plastered with menagerie
pictures and the walls and even some
of the fronts of business buildings
have been covered.
There are many people who feel
that this circus poster nuisance has
been carried beyond the limit. The
matter has certainly been carried far
when the gorgeous dodgers are flaunt
ed from the uppor portion of business
fronts. These posters are an eye sore,
they are dangerous from a fire stand
point, and when they blow down they
litter the streets and frighten horses.
It Is about time the city was adopt
ng some stringent measure providing
that circus posters shall be confined
to the bill boards.
Pendleton people returning from the
Portland rose show are unanimous in
praise of that beautiful festival. The
wonderful success of the rose show
during the few years It has been held
should be sufficient to Justify Port-
and people In maintaining it as a per
manent annual affair.
The American soldiers In the Phil
ippines are merely taking a turn at
upholding the white man's burden
and they are reaping the old reward.
Pendleton will entertain the rest' of
the county on Saturday, July 3. Make
preparations to come.
What Is so rare as
a good rain In
June?
FLAVORED EGGS.
The above question does not refer
to the manner of preparation how
long they shall be boiled or upon how
many sides they shall he fried. It
means, what flavor of eggs do you
like. Will you have lemon eggs or do
you prefer chocolate with perhaps
just a dash of vanilla?
No less an egg specialist than the
United States Department of Agricul
ture recently declared that the flavor
or odor of an egg may be gently In
fluenced by the feed of the hen. Its
latest egg bulletin states that hens
fed on onion tops and garlic acquire!
the habit of laying eggs with a de
cldld flavor of these vegetables.
Is there any reason to doubt that a
good-natured hen might be Induced to
eat any kind of flavoring matter that
fastidious man might like in his ome
lette? Isn't it Just possible that hens
of a convival disposition might lay a
species of ready-made eggnog that
would find a ready market In our
"dry" communities?
Or If hens could only be taught to
love Easter-egg dyes hut perhaps
It would be Just as well not to con
fuse the humble fowl by starting too
many things at once. "Success Ma
gazlne."
The mark of a free man Is that he
binds himself to some high duty.
THE NEW GRAMMAR.
It is gratifying to note how prog,
ress in English scholarship Is keep.
Ing equal pace with Industrial devel
opment. An idea of the advance
made In the analysis and dissection
of our mother tongue, for example
may be gained from a text book of
some 500 pages published as an aid
to pupils studying English composi
tion. How rudimentary was the old
classification of nouns as common
and proper, abstract and concrete!
There are now "material nouns,"
"nouns of multitude," etc. Thus,
whllo "sheep" Is a common noun,
"mutton" is a material noun. Fish
In the water Is a common noun, on
the table a material noun.
Adjectives are now quantitative,
demonstrative, multiplicative, etc. If
one eats much or little dinner the ad
jective is quantitative. Verbs, be
sides being transitive or intransitive,
Irregular, defective and auxiliary,
are factitive., In the sentence, "They
made him king,' the verb' is factitive,
because it requires some word be
sides the object to mnke the state
ment complete. There are verbs of
complete prediention ("rivers flow")
and of Incomplete predication ("the
man has fallen asleep"). There are,
"phrase adverbs" ("to and fro?'
"now and then").
But it is In the conjunctions that
the most Interesting, evolution has
taken place. Conjunctions are now
co-ordinate, cumulative, alternative,
adversative and Illative, illlntlve
conjunctions, readers who learned
grammar in little red school houses
may need to be Informed, are con
Junctions by which one thought or
Idea Is Inferred or proved from an
other. In the sentence, "He was found
guilty and therefore hanged," "there
fore" is Illative. Not necessarily,
however, in the vernacular of New
York justice.
The book Is Interesting as an ex
ample of the extent to which precos
ity In the study of language may be
carried. But why confuse the pupil's
understanding of the simple princi
ples of English composition by an
overelaboorate terminology? H.iv
will a knowledge of illative conjunc
tions help In the preparation of an
other Gettysburg address or a reply
to Hayne? New York World.
CONGRESSIONAL CLOTHES.
Once upon a time, the seasoned
gossips of Washington say, you could
spot a United States senator at sight.
But now, they declare, It Is hard to
tell a solon of the upper house from
a siock DroKer. it is an in ine 'wai
ter of clothes. The long frock coat,
the expansive shirt front and the big,
soft, black hat of old have yielded to
modern business attire.
We mention these things because
a Wasnington uispatcn stating uiui
55 members of the house appeared
on Monday in wholly new raiment
suggests a general thought of the
clothes of congress,
A British M. . P. who visited this
country a few years ago remarked
that our national legislators did not
know how to dress. To which a trav
eler from home rejoined that they
were lucky If they did not know how
t.J dress like members of the house
of commons. Be that as It may, what
meager particulars we have of the
ew suits of various representatives
indicate that the increased salaries
of congress have fallen amid ex
ponents of progress and good taste.
It Is likely that all 55 of the freshly
clad would pass muster on brightest
Fifth avenue.
Misgiving begins only as we read
of Speaker Cannon in fawn-colored
array of the most approved cut, with
a pearl-gray hat on his dome of
thought and a light necktie conceal
ing his forward collar button. "Uncle
Joe" Is from a homespun district.
Can he represent It In those clothes?
Moreover, as the head of the house,
he Is presumed to be representative
of the spirit which moves that body.
Do we read In his rebellious attire
confirmation of a suspicion already
engendered by the senatorial mud
dling of the tariff bill? Has congress
ceased definitely to ' represent the
land behind? New York World. ,
The Deserter.
'Do you desire to have It under
stood," asked the Judge, addressing
the lady who wanted the divorce,
that your husband deserted you?"
"Yes, sir."
"Please tell the court as concisely
as you can how he deserted -youj!.
'Two months after wo had com
pleted our wedding trip he scolded
me because he thought I was extrav
agant In the matter of gottlng
clothes, and I went home to my peo
ple."
'Yes. Proceed."
"Well, I waited and waited and
waited for him to come and beg me to
return 'to him, and he never did."
