TKY SMILING.

Tour burden is heavy, I haven't
a doubt;
But others have loads they
must carry about.
And they are not whining.
Some people are glad if but half
of the way
Ues out of the shadow, or part
of the day
They see the sun shining
Suppose you try smiling.
This funny old World is a mir
ror, you know,
Turn its way with a sneer or
the face of a foe.
And you will see trouble.
But meet it with laughter, and
looks full of cheer,
And back will come sunshine
and love, true and dear.
With blessings to double
Suppose you try smiling.

to those j
,
All doors open widely
who are glad;
Too many lack courag
too
many are sad;
Those near y"u need cheer
ing. So, laugh with your burden; the
way is not long;
And if you look upward, your
heart will grow strong,
And skies will be clearing
. uppose you try smiling. .

initiative
By all means shold an initiative ,
measure be prepared in behalf of the
Eastern Orecon normal school. A
normal school. A
bill providing adequate maintenance
for the school should be drafted and!
ubmittcd to the people in November, j
The people can then say whether or j
not they wish to maintain a normal:
achool in eastern Oregon. That they
do favor an eastern Oregon normal
and will support the Weston insti
tution this paper firmly believes.
It was to the shame and disgrace
of the state of Oregon that the nor
mal schools were left without funds
last winter. Though it took but a
trifling sum to operate the Eastern
Oregon normal, yet the school was
left without a cent. Through
the
work of a little clique of senators the
achool was even denied money with
which to complete the school year
Only through public donations se
cured from the people of Weston,
Pendleton and from the normal school
faculty ami the students themselves
waa enough money gathered to eke
out the term.
Since the Eastern Oregon normal
waa forced to close for lack of funds
the young people of eastern Oregon
desiring normal training have gone to
th Washington normals and to the
normal school at Lewlston, Idaho.
They are being educated at the ex
pense of our sister states. However
under the laws of Washington a stu
dent from Oregon must pledge him
elf or herself to teach for three years
within that state after graduation or
else pay a high entrance fee. Nearly
all of them agree to teach In Wash
ington and so become lost to this
state.
So It Is plain that If the present
situation Is allowed to continue It will
b5 but a few years until this state will
be In a sorry plight with respect to
teachers. With no provision for
training teachers within the state and
with many young people going away
for Instruction and to teach the edu
cational work In this state cannot but
retrograde. If the standard of the
public schools of eastern Oregon Is to
bo maintained It Is absolutely neces
sary that the Eastern Oregon normal
be supported and so permitted to do
the work for which It was establish
ed. Let us see what we can do tow
ards getting support for this Inst!
tutlon.
WAIT AND WATCH.
The long discussed, much planned
assembly scheme la now ready for use.
An assembly, or In other words a con
rentlon, to to be held In Portland In
July. At that time a slate will be
adopted and when the primary elee-
tlon is held the machine clement
throughout the entire state will get
behind it and try to put it through.
The former political "lenders" want
get back Into power. They want
tn do away wilh the "abuses" of the
direct primary. They don't want
candidates for nominations to come
out by themselves, make promises di
rect to the people and run for office
upim their merits. They want them
U oume to the bosses and the boss
lets as they did ot old. A man Is for
ward and self seeking who conies out
for office of his own account with
out first "fixing matters" with the
powers that be. If a man wants to
run for office he should go see Joe
Sinmn or sonic other remnant of the
rotten ring that once dominated this
state. He should not look to the
citizenship of the state. Only a dem
agogue does that. At least this Js the
view of the assemblyltes.
However the people of Oregon ad
opted the direct primary law. They
did so for a purpose. They did so In
order to wipe out hossism. In order
to do away with galling. assinine
system of allowing a few self ap
I ointed political managers to name
the officials and dictate the policies
of this state. It is a pretty safe guess
that the people have no desire to re
turn to the old system. Some politi
cians may be weary of the direct pri
mary. But the rank and file of the
pcople are entirely satisfied with It.
Wait and watch what they do to the .
slate that will be framed up by Mr.
Simon and his fellow ringsters.
THE FAHMEK IS INNOCENT.
It is now evident that desperate ef
forts will be made to fasten the guilt
for the high cost of living upon the ;
farmer the one man who is not i
guilty. One by one the various trusts

The trusts have the "goods" upon j

NOW FOR THE $25,000.
The Washinptmi-Oregon company j
agrees to commence operations upon
the raising of J25,000 by local peo
ple. The company still wants $50,000
but will undertake- to raise the re-
malnder of the fund themselves.
Very well.
The fact that the company will be
gin its construction work and agree
tc carry out the provisions of Its con
tract after $25,000 has been raised Is
'.ecldedly encouraging. It Is the best
news the traction workers have had
In many weeks. It means that the
long hard fight for a traction system
may be won." It is all but won now.
With another day or two of good vig
orous canvassing the sum may be
brought up to the desired $25,000
mark. Then the traction system will
be assured and bright days shall be

people of this city.
The Inland Herald, the new Spo
kane daily, quotes the East Oregon-
Ian as asking whether Pendleton shall
fellow the Spokane way and build up
this city or allow the town to shamble
along the best wy it can. "Take the
Spokane way, Pendletonlans," says
the Herald. "Pull together and go to
it. Get your traction lines as a begin
ning." If the Japanese continue to ship
arms and ammunition to the Fili
pinos It may be necessary to send the
old Second Oregon back to the orient.

J. Tborburn Ross must go to the

Pendleton will win.
Politeness pays enormous dividends
on the investment.
Tin: 'stacy or high rnorrrs
Socialists sometimes speak of a
capitalist this or a capitalist that. A
great many people do not understand
Just what we mean, and we are often
sneered at as visionary and irrespon
sible. Last fall our -Distinguished
president made a speech in Boston.
There was one phase of that speech
which will make clear what we mean
by a capitalist president. The hum
of prosperity and the ecstacy of great
profits, he said, are likely to dull our
interest in reforms.
What a niai'veiously illtiiniimting
phrase the ecstacy of great profits.
Properly undtrstood. that phrase
should ilpen to all of us the mind
and heart if Mr. Tat't. Perhaps he
has sat down with great financiers
when a melon was cut or a box of
Hood li ver apples was opened up
fan you imagine an ecstacy so ex
tiuisile a.- l-i be a stockholder in a
gnat trust which has laid aside mil
lions of surplus profit which it decides
to divide among you. Here is the
most gorgeous graft thnt the mind of
man can conceive of- It Is clean gain
without any effort on our part.
Mr. Taft knows how to reach the
heart of the capitalist. He has done
it to perfection in this phrase. He has
tickled him with the most exquisite
sensation known to the profit seeker,
the ecstacy of great profits.
We socialists say that Mr. Taft is
a capitalists' president and you ask
what we mean. We mean this, that
President Taft is the repre
sentative of the profit seekers, the
