THE PRESIDENTS OPPORTUNITY.
Entirely aside from politics W. J.
Bryan's suggestion to President Tart
that the latter recommend a consti
tutional amendment providing for the
direct election of senators is a good
one. The suggestion was timely and
It. has been made in such a way that
the president will have to declare
himself for or against this great re
form or refuse to commit himself,
vhich would be a confession of weak
I nesg and indicislon.
It will be interesting to know what
stand President Taft will take. It to
true the republican platform does not
fdvocate the direct election of sen
ators. But it is also known that the
republican platform was In many re
spects unsatisfactory to the president
when he was a candidate for office.
He was hailed as a man of more lib
eral ideas than those represented by
the platform. His nomination to of-,-flce
was a concession to Roosevelt
and in return for this concession the
"standpatters" of the party dictated
the platform.
If President Taft Is anything of a
reformer he will urge the conJtitutlon
a. amendment suggested by his late
rival. Of all reforms needed in this
country a change in the old time
method of choosing senators is the
most urgent. Under the system of
choosing senators by legislatures the
upper house of congress has been
filled with men who owe their elec
tion to the use of money and to ma
chine bosses In their respective states.
They are not directly responsible to
their people and frequently show a
contempt for the wishes of their con
stituents. Witness Senator Heyburn's
attitude toward the farmers o; Idaho.
It Is because the senate Is filled with
such men as these that Senator Al
drlch has been able to handle the sen
ttt! as thougn the seats were occupied
by manikins. Had the members of
the senate all been chosen by popu
lar vote they would have shown more
consideration for the welfare of the
consumer while the tariff was under
consideration and would not have an
swered "me too" to everything sug
gested by the senate boss.
If President Taft has disliked the
manner in which the senate has re
vised the tariff upward he will have
a splendid opportunity to show his
feelings by urging the amendment
suggested by Bryan. Will he do It?
RUSH OF TOURISTS.
Railroad men report that the tourist
travel to the Northern Pacific coast is
seceral times as heavy this season as
I&Ft, says the Seattle Post-lntelligcn-cer.
It will certainly double nil pre
vious records of travel to this part of
tb'i country, and may treble the best
of them. The preparations made by
the railroads were by no means up to
the demands, and additions have been
necessary to all trains. Yet the rush
of tourists Is but commencing. Five
or six weeks hence the Incomers will
be In very much greater numbr-rs than
now, and when the harvests are over
there promises to be another great
rush.
The exposition at Seattle Is respon
sible for a considerable share of this
extraordinary movement, but much of
It is only Indirectly affected by the
exposition. The low round-trip rates
attract many who would have visited
this part of the country, at the lower
rate, even without the added attrac
tlon of the exposition. The advortls
irg- which the exposition has been
e ven has served likewise to advertise
the whole of the Pacific Northwest,
and those who are coming now are
coming to ste the country ns much
a3 the fair.
And this is not merely casual tour
ht travel, Intent only on a look at
the country and a summer's outing,
There is a more serious purpose be
hind much of it. It is safe to say that
an actual majority of the people who
have come here, or who are on their
way hither have a more or less well
defined purpose, if they find conditi
ons to suit them, to remain perma
nently, or to return home for the pur
pose of making a permanent home
after they have settled up their busi
ness affairs and are In a position to
make the removal.
The whol? Pacific Northwest has
made great gains in population in the
past nine years. There promises to
bf, a gain the present year out of all
proportion greater than has ever been
seen in any previous year In the hs-ton-
of the Pacific Northwest.
TRAIXED TEACHERS NEEDED.
The annual report of the county
school superintendent will show that
the 97 school districts of Umatilla
county employed 169 teachers during
the past year. Of these 31 were men
while 138 were women. Figures show
ing the total number of teachers in
eastern Oregon are not at hand but
it Is safe :o assume that in the 15
counties east of the Cascades between
500 and 1000 teachers are employed
regularly.
To these teachers is Intrusted the
education of the children of eastern
Oregon. It is work of the utmost im
portance and It Is essential that the
teachers should be trained in the best
possible manner for the work they
have to do. Yet by the action of a
handful of men in the state senate
money for the future maintenance of
the Eastern Oregon normal school
was denied. So the school must re
main closed for the next two years at
least and eastern Oregon will have to
take what can be secured' In the way
of new teachers. Good teachers were
aiready scare and in the future the
situation will become worse, for many
students from eastern Oregon are pre
paring to enter the Washington nor
mals this fall and by doing so they
will obligate themselves to teach for at
least three years within that state.
Thankfully Pendleton has a corps
of very competent teachers, mostly
normal graduates, and many of the
number have been with the local
schools for several years. So this city
at least will not suffer immediately
from the closing of the normal. But
vacancies are always occurlng and in
time the schools are sure to retro
grade unless provision Is made for
normal Instruction. The country
schools will suffer first by the closing
of the normals because the larger sal
aries paid In the olties and towns will
draw the normal-trained teachers to
those centers leaving the country
children at the mercy of untrained
teachers.
It is going to be up to the people of
Eastern Oregon to see that normal
training is again provided for those
who wish to teach. Furthermore it
will be necessary to provide such in
struction in eastern Oregon, for ex
perience has shown that a sufficient
number will not go abroad for nor
mal training. Unless prospective
teachers can receive instruction In
eastern Oregon they will try to teach
without proper preparation for the
work or else will do something else.
Umatilla county will gladly welcome
a visit from Secretary Ballinger. We
have a reclamation project and an
Indian reservation to show him.

DIAMONDS AM) ILL LUCK.
There is a soul of truth in every
ancient superstition. And the vulgar
notion that there Is something baneful
In the possession of big diamonds is
no exception. ,
The ill-omened Hope diamond was
sold for a king's ransom last week in
Paris with a shuddering tale hang
ing to it of the ruin of two king?
and many commoners.
Of this malignant Jewel, as of
many others. It may be said that Its
beauty Is no finer than that of a dew
drop glist nliig on a rose leaf.
Its charm, Its fascination, lies sob llj
la the fait that it cost much money,
much labor and much life.
It is unlucky to have one's mind
distorted, so that one cannot tell
what Is worth while and what not.
It Is unlucky to be vain and cruet,
and to desire nothing but to outshine
one's neighbors.
That is why It Is unlucky to own
big diamonds.
THE YOUNG MEN.
(Had be the hearts of the young men,
and the feet of them, glad be
they
That they walk In the morning mead
ows nnd dance on the dewy
way;
The strong men, the song men, the
men with the red blood will.
With their heads in tin- clouds of
glory, their feet on the hill!
Glad be the hearts of the young men
and the lips of them glad to
sing
With the cry of the battle Dttglei and
rho mitafa if irlni?
The brave men, the dawn men, the
men who are iron and thew.
With their hopes in the furoff valleys
where the dreams come true:
Olad be the hearts of the young men.
with the forward looking, the
hope.
Winged with the victory pinions where
the hills stand ope;
The steel men, the real men, the men

Their feet on the steps of star-beam,

Glad be the hearts of the young men,

A man got into a train with a bag
of fruit in one hand, and at the first
station he called out to a porter:
"I say. porter, do you like fruit?"
"Rather," replied the porter.
"Then," said the man, "chew the
date off my ticket."
First Artist Well, old man, how
Is business?
Second Artist Splendid! Got a
commission this morning from a mil
lionaire. Wants his wife and chil
dren painted very badly.
First Artist Well, old man, you're
the very man to do that for him.
"My darling," said Mr. Spoona-
more, as he finished the third help
ing of his wife's plum cake, "the
lightness and flavor of your excellent
cake give a grand and emphatic de
nial to all the rubbish written in
would-be funny papers about the in
capacity of young wives to cook.
She nestled close to him.
"Or. perhaps," he continued, "it
may be that my own little wlfe-pifey
s better than all others."
"Oh. ducky," she whispered, "how
happy you make me."
And then she thought how lucky
t was she had had the sense to buy
that cake at the baker's.
"Kind lady, please help me; I'm
very ill, and I can't get into the hos
pital because there is no room."
"My good man, I'm in Just the
same plight. I've been trying to go
to the opera for the last week, and
can't get tickets."
A gentleman was traveling in the
north of Scotland. When he reached
his destination he discovered that he
had left his water-proof In the com
partment. He hurried back as the
train was leaving, and shouted:
"Is there a black maehlntosh
here?"
One of the gentlemen replied:
"No; they are all MacOregors.

An Irishman once sent a coat to
his brother In America with the fol

"Dear Mick 1 send you the coa

rather heavy I have cut them off to
save postage and put them in the

Wife (excitedly) If you go on like
this I shall certainly lose my temper!
Husband No danger, my dear. A
thing of that size Is not easily lost.
Mrs. Brown How would you de

Mrs. Jones I should say tact Is the
ability to make your husband believe

opposite to a gentleman with a wax
