Xo fear have I of what becomes
of me
AVhen I have passed the Gates
of Mystery.
At worst It will be' a. dreamless
sleep the same
Perchance in kind as that ere
I became.
At best, an heritage of Paradise
Whereto the weary spirit may
- urlr,e
A vision rare, with Heavenly
grandeur rife,
Wherein are solved ail myster
ies of life!
And in between? "Tis there in
deed I find
The truest joys of a believing
mind;
The Faith within me speaks but
of the care
And love divine that wait God's
children there.

LET T1IK LAW DO IT.
It Is not often these days that east
ern Oregon has a lynching bee and
the details of the affair near Hamil-.
ton Saturday made unpleasant read
ing. A man named Snyder had shot
a sheepherder and the deed roused
some Grant county ranchers to take
the fellow from a deputy sheriff to
whom he had surrendered and t
riddle his body fith bullets.
Now It Is entirely possible of course
that this man Snyder deserved to
die and that as quickly as possible.
But the manner of his execution Is
not creditable to the men who killed
him nor to eastern Oregon. It would
have been far better had those ranch
ers allowed tha sheriff to keep his
man and to havt tried him " in the
regular manner. Every criminal is
entitled to a fair trial before a Jury
of disinterested men. It Is the as
sumption that the guilty will be
proven guilty and punished accord
ingly. The law sometimes makes
mistakes, It Is true. It will make
mistakes so long as the administra
tion, of the law rests with human be
ings. Then, too, the law sometimes
moves slowly all too slow!;"? Yet
why should not the law proceed with
caution when human life is at stake.
It is serious business. People live for
"but a brief time at best and they are
long time dead. (
With all Its drawbacks the law is
far ahead Indeed of mob rule. There
l.i nothing so dangerous, so cruel and
so unjust as a gang of men that go
forth to take the law into their own
hands. The lynching near Hamilton,
it !t has been correctly reported, is
to be deeply regretted for It consti
tutes a stain upon Grant county and
eastern Oregon.
THEY SHOULD ATTEND.
On January 8 the annual convention
of the school directors of the county
Is to be held here and the county
superintendent is now urging the
proper officials to attend the session.
Under the law one man from each
district Is required to bo present and
his expenses are paid for the day.
However the law fixes no penalty for
non attendance and as a result It Is
practically a matter of honor with the
directors. '
But If the directors of this county
take the right- view of their duties
they will require no great persuasion
before attending the coming conven
tion. It is a meeting manifestly for
their, benefit and for the benefit of
the Interests which they as officials
teprtsCB. Many should be glad of
the opportunity to attend ach meet
ings and to learn everything possible
along the line of the ouller of direc
tors and the general subject of school
management If they are not men
who want to learn all they reasonably
can upon this subject they should re
sign and allow their places to b
filled by men having the work mors
t heart.
A correspondent of the Portland
Orejronlan at Olympia makes u very
feeble and farfetched attempt to dis
credit Glfford I'Inchot and the fores
try bureau by calling attention to an
alleged abuse that Is fostered. by the
government. At this time the gov
ernment cruises timber lands and
when such lands are filed upon by In
dividuals an attempt is made to
charge something near what the land
U really worth. The timber is not
given away for a song as It formerly
was. But according to the story from
Olympia some wise intending purch
asers first have the government cruise
the land and then they buy it with
Northern Pacific scrip.
But if such an abuse is underway
the fault Is not with the forestry
policy, certainly. It Is with the law
that permits good timber land to be
taken with comparatively valueless
scrip. Nor can the evil be charged
to the government's policy of cruis
ing timber land. Private concerns
too have cruised the untaken timber
and they know as well as the govern
ment men where the good timber Is.
What Is to prevent them from cruis
ing the land privately and then buy
ing it with scrip?
Such criticisms as this of Pinchofs
work will not do. At least those who
are at all informed will not be in
fluenced by such stories. The fact
that such stories are used by a pa
per like the Oregonlan and used
plainly for the purpose of discredit
ing the chief forester but shows the
animosity that certain Interests feci
towards Pinchot andthe further fact
that those interests are not to be dis
suaded from their attack by any con
siderations for truth or fairness.

When Frederick Remington passed
away at his home in Connecticutt
Sunday there died, a, man who knew
the west and who had the skill to
"hold the mirror up to nature." The
sketches of Remington have long
been In popufhr favor and justly too.
In his work the artist depleted life
on the western ranges as few others.
have done. From nctual experience
upon the plains Remington, knew
many things about western life. He
knew how beautiful a water hole In
the desert seems to a parched cow
puncher or prospector. He knew how
a stranger approached a frontier
camp at night; how the restless rider
of the plains regarded twn mar
shals, how the "outlaws" buck find
many other things familiar, only to
those who have "been there." In his
sketches Remington pictured the life
jf the west about as it was and as
it is yet in some places. His pic
tures may be faulty in some particu
lars. Other artists pick flaws in them.
But they are' lifelike and that is the
first requisite. His sketches all show
a close sympathy with western ways
mil it may be truthfully said that
when Remington died the west lost a
g od friend.
"SWEET INNISFAIXEN."
Pendleton's park fund is something
that certainly needs fostering. Pen
dleton needs some parking improve
ments and needs them badly. . The
ladies of the library and civic club
are doing excellent work towards
bringing about this betterment. Fri
day night an entertainment will be
given at the theater under their aus
pices. It will be Bernard Daly's ap
pearance in "Sweet Innlsfallen." This
play Itself with such a celebrated
singer as Daly In the leading role
should draw a crowded house. Since
the play Is to be given under the
auspices of the ladies club and half
the net proceeds will go to the park
fund the people of Pendleton should
turn out enmasse to see trie produc
tion. , Let us fill the theatre to
"standing room only" for "Sweet
Innlsfallen,"
A fool there was, and he made a gift,
(Even ns you or I.)
He bought It with taste and care and
thrift
(For a lady his friends thought rather
swift)
And when he gave it, the lady sniffed,
(Even ns you or I.)
Oh, the judgment and taste and time
we waste
On the gifts at Christmastide;
i Which we give to the lady who isn't
! nleased
(And now we know she could never be
pleased
And Tiever be satisfied.)
(Even ns you or I.) v, "
A fool there was, and he gave " his
cheque
For n necklace of pearls without a
fleck,
(And it didn't the least suit the lady's
neck)
And she never thanked him a single
speck!
(Even as you or I.)
Oh. the chink we lose and the think
we lose.
On the things we buy with pride, .
To give to the lady who. never is
pleased
(And now we know she can never be
pleased
And never be satisfied.)
The fool was fleeced to his last red
cent
(Even as you or I.)
She threw him aside, when gold was
spent,
(And nobody cared where the lady
went.)
And the fool gave way to loud lament,
(Even as you or I.)
And it wasn't the loss, and it wasn't
the dross.
The reison that same fool cried:
It was coining; to know that she never
was pleased
(Seeing at last she could never be
pleased
And never be satisfied.)

As to what constitutes whiskey
President Taft has made a decision.
But there are some far bigger prob
lems confronting his administration
and he seems to hesitate about grap
pling with 'them.
At one time lynch law was appar
ently needed In eastern Oregon. At
least it was very effective In break
ing up certain forms of crime. But
it Is not needed now.
Found a Way.
"True happiness," said the garden
philosopher, "consists In doing good
to others."
"Does It?" dubiously asked the man
with the Ingrowing grouch.
"It does," replied the philosopher.
"Not for rational people," said the
grouch. "I sat down with a street
car hog today and kept jabbing him
with my elbow and stepping on his
toes until he wanted to fight. Say, I
haven't ' been so happy for six
months."
"That hat tag says 'Marked Down
to $98.' I saw it myself last week for
seventy-five."
"That is easy to understand."
"I can't see why he calls It marked
down."
"He ha been reading about the
tariff lower'ng."

Mrs. Isaac L. Rice, the talented
head of New York's antt-nolse move
ment, was describing the nuisance of
the London cab whistle.
"Every householder, you know,"
she said, "has a shrill whistle where
with he stands on his doorstep and
toots and toots until a cab appears.
"This during the season, is an in
tolerable nuisance. Butlers whistle
for cabs till 4 or 5 In the morning. In
the West End, with dinners and balls
at every house, a continuous whist
ling makes sleep ' lmpos'ble till long
after daylight.
"At a party in the West End a la
dy talked to me about city noises. She
was inclined to praise the quietude of
London nights.
