Those friends thou hast, and
their adoption tried,
Grapple them to thy soul with
hoops of steel;
But do not dull thy palm with
entertainment
Of each unhatched, unfledged
comrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel, but
being m
Bear 't that the opposed may be
ware of thee.
Give every man thy ear. but few
thy voice;
Take each man's censure, but re
serve thy Judgment
Costly thy habit as thy purse
can buy.
But not expressed in fancy; rich,
not gaudy;
For the apparel oft proclaims
the man.
And they in France of the best
rank and station
Are most select and generous,
chief in that.
Neither a borrower nor a lend
er be;
For loan oft loses both itself and
friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge
of husbandry.
This above all: To thine own
self be true,
And it must follow, as the
night the day.
Thou canst not then be false to
to any man.
Shakespeare.
PINCHOT AND HIS FOES.
"There are hundreds of persons in
Oregon today yes, thousands whose
valid claims to land have been Jeopar
dized by this policy, their applica
tions denied or their patents withheld
or canceled. All this the result of the
Pinchot method of administering
the statutes," says the Portland Ore
gonlan. But it is not the humble homestead
er who is making the fight on Gifford
Pinchot. Xot for a minute. He is
opposed by the millionaires who are
In syndicates that are out to corral
the timber lands and the coal lands
and the power sites of the country.
The Guggenheim's and the Weyer
hauser's these are the fellows who re
sent Pinchot's activity and would like
to see him thrown out of office.
Just now the plea of these men Is
"follow the law strictly." They make
this plea because they know that un
der the lax and insufficient laws now
It. existence It will be possible for
them to "acquire" much valuable
property If the national administra
tion will but stand for It. The situ
ation is much the same as that which
existed in this state several years ago
with reference to school lands. Un
der the Geer administration the law
was "followed closely" and thousands
of acres of valuable land was sold for
song. When Chamberlain went in
to office the abuse was quickly stop
ped, but it was like locking the barn
door after the horse had been stolen.
If the Taft administration is to be
at all consistent in following out the
Roosevelt policies, and Taft was made
president solely because the people be
lieved he shared the Ideas of Theo
dore Roosevelt, there is but one course
t-. take with reference to conserva
tion the Roosevelt-Plnchot policy
should be continued. No half-way,
soft handed course will suffice.
Should the administration adopt an
"easy" policy In this matter the cor
porations interested in timber, coal
and power will quickly grab what
the country now has left in the way of
natural resources.
A FEARFUL EVIL.
Police officials and others ar" now
awakening to the real evils of the
terrible cocaine habit, which apparent
ly is becoming worse in the United
States, especially among the southern
negroes.
"Cocaine row ranks with whiskey
as the chief provocative of assaults
and consequent lynching bees in the
south." declares Charles W. Collins
and John Day of the commission In
a preliminary report Just published
Ir. full by tho Chicago magazine "Ev
eryday Life." They said, "Already
among the 'fiends' and the policemen
who have to deal with them there is
tr.lk of 'the new field.' The phrase,
with Its commercial suggestion, comes
from the dealers in the drugs, retail
art and perhaps wholesalers aUo. Ev
erv 'fiend.' It should be added, Is
more than likely to be a peddler of
the 'stuff,' taking his commission in
the same misery that he distributes.
This 'new field' Is among the brutal
!zil negroes of the south, who, denied
easy access to liquor by the prohibi
tion movement, are turning to drugs
as a substitute."
The commission quotes from
Hampton's Magazine an article by
Judge Harris Dickson of CIcksburg,
Miss., who told of a contractor who
ordered a pound of cocaine, to the
astonishment of the salesman to whom
the order was given, who expostulat
ed saying: "No man on earth can
possibly want that much cocaine."
The contractor reiterated the order.
"A man who deliberately puts co
caine into a negro is more dangerous
than he who would Innoculate a dog
with hydrophobia," commented Judge
Dickinson. "The deadly drug arouses
every evil passion, give the negro
superhuman strength, and destroys his
sense of fear. Yet the steamboat ne
gro and the levee negro will not work
without it. So the levee contractor
makes his camp look like a cross sec
tion of hell, but he gets his dirt
moved." ,
THEY W11X BE HAD.
"The congregations in the east side
churches Sunday adopted resolutions
appealing to the mayor to purchase
the Hawthorne park site, says tne
Oregon Journal. There was no dis
senting voice in the voting. The lure
of nature tugs ever at human heart
strings. The sigh of child and man
Is for the great out-doors. Youth
and age grow weary of the clanging
of the streetcar and the hoofbeat on
the pavement. The green patch of
grass, the foliage of living trees from
which the birds carol, the open air
and the blue sky are recreation and
life to wasted energies. They are the
asylum of those who droop with years
and the rendezvous and delight of
I frail childhood. Parents want these
nature spots for their children, and
children want them for spent par
ents. The call for them is universal,
and It Is not surprising that the con
gregations of east side churches stood
on their- -feet Sunday and appealed
to the mayor."
If these things are true in Port
land, and they are true, how much
more forcible should be an argument
for parks for an eastern Oregon city
like Pendleton. In eastern Oregon
the summers are warmer than In
western Oregon and because of the
greater aridity of this portion of the
state the "patch of grass and foliage
o'. living trees" has a greater lure.
Pendleton needs a good park sys
tem and this place will not be the
good home town It may be made until
It does get parks. But It is going to
get them, someway, and In the near
future. See If this prediction does not
come true.
Frank J. Heney did well to win the
democratic nomination for district at
torney. In view of the extensive ram
ifications of the roots of the graft tree
In 'Frisco It is surprising he ran as
well as he did. It Is possible the peo
ple of San Francisco may elect Heney
district attorney, though such an out
come is scarcely to be expected. He
has played the scourge master and
has played it well. But It Is not a pop
ular role.
In Pennsylvania some steel work
men are now striking because of dis
satisfaction over their pay while not
long ago King Edward made a million
dollars in steel through a tip given
him by J. P. Morgan. How much bet
ter It would have been had that mil
lion been divided among the work
men. N EWSPAPERS ANT) COLLEGES.
The work of the newspaper is as
useful as that of the colleges. Tho
muck rake may be the instrument of
reform. The sensational when Import
ant is to be desired, and the wonder
Is not that the press makes so many
f-rrors but that It makes so few.
All men are purveyors of false re
ports, partly because the truth is SO
elusive, party because it Is so diffi
cult to disassociate knowledge from
beliefs and partly because of the in
accuracy of memory.
Aa to sensationalism the line must
bf distinctly drawn between the news
paper which appreciates news value
and the newspaper which regards vio
lence as the mark of a good story. I
believe that the public is becoming
more civilized and that the paper that
elects to give Importance to the news
which Is of real Importance to the pub.
11c will find an ever-growing clientele.
The defects of tne modern news
paper, like the defects of our univer
sities are not for the thoughtless or
the uninformed to point out. None of
us li perfect. President Judson. Uni

THE LIGHT Or UFE.
From the "Sweet Fields of Eden"
The Light of Life tame down
Bright on the Rock of Ages
The Light that is Love's crown.
In Life's stormy weather
He saw through heavens dim
The rest beyond tbe river
In mansions made for him,"

Dark and deep the waters,
But o'er his singing soul,
Star-fixed there, where the Light Is,
No trouble-waves could roll,
The treasure where the heart was,
A-shlnlng In the Night
From the "Sweet Fields of Eden,"
The "Valley of Delight."

And so he bore his crosses
To Life's last Calvary hill,
An' heard when storms were breaking
That whisper, "Peace. Be still,"
If there he had no shelter,
With keen thorns at the breast,
He gained the greater mansions
Of God s Eternal Rest.

lican. TALL WOMEN.
Short women nowadays frequently
declaim against nature. They gaze
with envy upon their tall sisters and
sigh as they note their elegant, grace
ful figures. "Tall women are tbe first
consideration," they explain, and that
Is true as rar as Dame Fashion Is !
concerned, for dressmakers and miili- j
ners vie with each other In creating
modes which heighten the charms of
a tall willowy figure. The poor little
lump woman like to follow the fash
ion, and they frequently appear gro
tesque in costumes not at all suited
to their Individuality. They realize
this and resent the prominence Riven
to their tall rivals. But, though tall
women are the most Important ones
Ir the world of fashion, it is proverb
ial that short women reign supreme in
the affections of men. A man will
openly speak of his preference for the
little woman. There Is something al
together alluring and fascinating
about her-that appeals to his nature.
She is usually light and airy, an Is
stimulates the protective qualities of
man. The latter is old-fashioned con
cerning women. He understands the
literal meaning of cherish, aqd he un
consciously revers the dainty little
personality rhom he can take in his
arms and realize that she really be
longs to him.
The Innate sense of power is inher
ent in every man, and love for a little
woman invariably brings forth his
most chivalrous instincts. The char
acter, too, of a little woman is usual
ly bewitching. She is full of life and
energy, and her bright, happy nature
l very inspiring. She does not at
tempt to cultivate the languid pose
which is so often distinctive of the
tall woman. She Is content to be ab
solutely natural. She loves life and
she loves chatter, althought she Is gen
erally loyal and true. But It Is In
times of stress and danger that the
little woman shows her real nature.
She is resourceful, gentle and endur
ing, and she will rise to heights of
heroism which call forth the admira
tion of everybody.
Truly the little woman has no need
to be envious. If nature has denied
her grace of figure, she has been
prodigal in gifts that are Infinitely
more Important. She captivates and
bewitches mankind, and her tall sis
ters recognise this and envy her ac
cordingly. A Shade of Difference.
