XKVEU M1I HOW HE PIED
Ho died for his faith. That Is
fjne
More thnn most of us do.
Tut, pay can you add to that
line
That he lived for it, too?
I.i his death he bore witness at
last
As a martyr for truth.
Did his life do the same in the
past
From the days of his youth?
It is easy to die! Men have
died
For a wish or a whim
From bravado, passion or pride.
Was it harder for him?
But to live each day to live out
All the truth that he dreamt
While his friends met his con
duct with doubt
And the world with contempt.
Was it thus that he plodded
ahead,
Never turning aside?
Then we'll speak of the life that
he led.
Never mind how he died.
Ernest Crosby.
. AS TO FOOTBALL.
Football is a great game despite the
criticism to which it is constantly sub
jected. Of course it is rough sport
and it would be well could the game be
made still more open. In the open
game weight and brute strength
count less and speed and headwork
more.
But just as it is football is a fine sport
It is a game in which strength, speed,
grit, team work and spirit all count.
It Is not a game in which strength
and weight always triumph. Often
times a light but gritty, spirited team
outplays a much heavier opponent.
Football is the finest of all school
games. Nothing serves to crystalize
school patriotism like a good football
team. On the gridiron the team bat
tles for the honor of its school and
slow indeed Is he whose blood does
r.ot run faster when his team is win
winning and freeze in his veins when
the fortunes of war are gainst him.
But the trouble with our schools Is
that the courses do not provide for
enough preparatory training. Inour
high schools and colleges football
teams are often chosen from among
young men who have had little if any
physical training. It is still a weak
ness with our schools that too little
attention Is paid to the physical wel
fare of pupils and students. All en
ergy Is centered , upon training the
mind of the student. Little attention
is paid to the growing animal. Stu
dents are practically left to follow
such sports and exercises as appeal to
them. Naturally some mistakes are
made.
In the course of time our schools
and especially high schools will offer
physical culture as a compulsory sub
ject. Classes In physical training will
lie held and students taught many es
sential things. They will be taught
how to develop along lines where they
are weak; the value of good air and
proper food; to avoid all things which
like alcohol and tobacco work against
physical vitality and In a word how
to live.
Football is a rugged game but It is
usually beneficial to those who play.
This Is especially true with respects to
players who are In condition to play
and who know their strength. It
would be well If all students took part
In football or else. In some sport a de
gree less strenuous. There would
then be less danger of race degener
acy. PAirmSM NOT rVVOLTED.
The coming city election In Pen
dleton promises to be free from parti
sanship. By all means It should be.
The conditions within this city are
uch as to demand that the very best
men available be chosen to office.
That this may be done It will be ne
cessary that everything; In the nature
of party politics be laid aside. It Is
wholesome to note that none of the
candidates out for office are running
under party labels. They are run
ning upon their own merits and by
these they should stand or fall.
"One of thp worst obstacles to Rood
municipal government is the practice
of making city spoils of politics, says
the Sacramento Bee. So long as this
continues bosses will flourish, and men
will be nominated and fleeted not to
srve the public but the bosses and the
powerful moneyed interests to which
the bosses cater.
"In local elections the appeal to
partisan sentiment, and the pretense
that every party man should vote his
party ticket, instead of exercising his
iii dividual Judgment and choosing the
best men for office, nre responsible
for a host of evils In our cities,"
This is very true. Beware of the
man who talks partyism to you upon
election day. He will probably not
care a whit about his party's success
but he will have an axe of another
sort to grind.
OIK EFFORTS NOTICED.
The action of local farmers in pro
testing 'against the merchant marine
league's scheme to raise ocean freight
rr.tes has attracted wide attention.
The San Francisco Star recently had
the following upon the subject:
October 30 there was a significant
meeting of the wheat growers of Uma
tilla County, Oregon, at Pendleton.
The meeting was called to protest
ap-ainst the action of the Merchant
Marine League of Seattle, Washing
ten, in seeking to compel all foreign
vessels bringing coal from the Atlantic
Coast for use of the United States
Navy, to "return to their original port
i;- ballast.
"Congressman W. R. Ellis, a repub
lican, spoke against the proposed ac
tion of the Merchant Marine League
and promised the farmers that he
would do all in his power to co-operate
with them in their fight against
the Marine League's' proposition.
Other speeches were made by C. A.
Br.rrett, president of the Inland Grain
Growers' Association, President J. T.
Lieuallen of the county organization
of the Farmers' Educational and Co
operative Union of America, and oth
ers. The following resolutions, which
the farmers will be requested to sign.
were adopted:
"Verily, those Oregon farmers are
more enlightened than some of our
'Businesmen.' "
P.oosevelt's friends resent the im-'
putation that the sugar frauds were
not properly investigated during his
administration. They assert that the
present revelations and prosecutions
are the result of investigations started
under the preceding administration.
If the sugar swindles were not probed
during Roosevelt's term it may be
taken for granted that the gentleman
ir the white house did not know about
them.
Pendleton people worked zealously
for the 'reclamation of the Umatilla
project. Local influence should now
be placed solidly behind the move to
have the lands west of the Umatilla
river reclaimed. The West Umatilla
project will be many times larger
than the Umatilla project.
In the football game yesterday
the Pendleton high school players
showed their class and won a deserv
ed victory. Had the Baker City team
been here yesterday they would not
have won such a victory as they did a
week ago.
We may now expect a very interest
ing story by Richard Harding Davis
dealing with the Nicaraguan revolu
tion. These Central American up
heavals at least furnish plots for
novelists and playwrights.
The electric line from Dale to Pen
dleton and the one from Walla Walla
to this city will give us two electric
roads. Bring them on.
