When the Master Workman had done his task, And smooth was the prairie floor, He summoned a manling and thundered: "Ask, If you wish to have one thing more." And the manling answered: "Broad plains I see, With a carpet of wondrous hue, But naught to appeal to my memory When I wonder the wide world through." So the Master Workman plant ed a bush That gleamed like silver . bright; He planted It where mad waters rush. And where the deer takes night. He scattered it far. and from it rose A strange scent, all of its own; In summertime, or in the snows. Its deathless spell was thrown. i And those who have breathed this magic scent. On the breast of a Western breeze, Must turn, as an Arab to his tent, Back home to the sage brush seas. Arthur Chapman. TAFT rXI) THE PltESS. In his speech at Newark. President Taft showed a feeling of resentment towards the press of the country. He says the newspapers have "hammer ed" his administration during the past year; expressed a hope that the news papers do not carry- in thelr pockets all of public opinion and said he was going back to Washington intending to avoid them. That the press Is not endorsing fhe administration is true. Even the re publican newspapers are not doing so. This was snown oy ine rwun ui the canvass made recently by th i nhtrnirn Tribune. The canvass wa made among the editors of papers west of the Alleghenles. Of the 2993 republican editors who voted only 1093 endorsed President Taft. 1369 expressed a desire for Roosevelt aa president at this time while 531 votes were scattered among sucn men as Hughes, LaFollette, Cummins and other "Progressives." In Oregon 32 republican editors endorsed Roosevelt and 14 supported Taft. In Washing ton 51 republican editors voted for Roosevelt and 31 for President Taft. These same men voted five to one against Cannon and cast a three to one vote against the Aldrich-Payne tariff bill. The Independent editors voted almost unanimously against the new tariff bill and also against the administration. This being the situation die ques tion arlsea as to why the sentiment of the press is unfavorable to the presi dent. Plainly the answer is that dur ing his first year in office the presi dent has been "In wrong." Elected on the assumption thlt he would fol low out the Roosevelt policies he haa proven a disappointment In this re spect. He has shown weakness and timidity where Roosevelt would have shown strength and courage. He haa been rery lenient with the "malefac tors of great wealth." He haa allow ed the suspicion to grow that he Is more In sympathy with the monopo listic element than with the plain people of the country. Hla endorse ment of the tariff law, of the central bank plan and of the ship subsidy scheme all worked to create this Im pression. Hla rulings In the Plnchot- Balllnger controversy have likewise created sentiment against the admin istration. In the mind of the average citizen Olfford Plnchot standi for con- servation In Its true sense. For con serration In behalf of all the people. Balllnger stands for conservation In behalf of the Morgan-Guggenheim element The press usually reflecc very ac curately the sentiment of the country. Ic is safe to say that the republican editors who voted In tho Chicago Tribune election voiced the ' senti ment of their people. Therefore when the president scolds the news papers ho likewise scolds their read ers. That this course will bo of pro fit to him is doubtful. It might be better for the president to listen to the voice of the people and Rive heed to its protest. W1IKHK SALOONMKN EttK. The city council of Spokane has re moved Police Commissioner Tuerke and one of the papers of that city charges the action to the fact that the former official was vigorous In enforcing saloon regulations. "For his fearless enforcement of the anti-screen law Commissioner Tuerke aroused the animosity of the liquor interests, who found that they could not, by cajolery or intimidation swerve him from the performance of his duty, says the Spokesman-Review. These Interests, exerted great pres sure on the council for Mr. Tuerke's removal, believing thereby that they would punish him and give tacit warning to other police officials against vigorous enforcement of the saloon-regulating laws and ordinan ces. They hope, with Commissioner Tuerke out of office, that the position may pass to one who. If not pliant In their hands, will have less vigor and courage In enforcing the laws." If these charges are true then the saloon Interests of Spokane are dig ging their own grave. In strict regu lation lies the hope of the licensed snlAon. The day of the . dive Is past. It is well that such is the case. So ciety has nothing to gain from the maintenance of joints that meet no I legitimate need but breed only immor I ality and crime. A saloon should 'have no screen to conceal what trans ! fires within it. It should be open to inspection from the streets just like billiard halls, and to secure the en grocery stores, confectionery stands forcement of the Sunlny law as s't and other establishments.

But to avoid this trouble tv.p weather man is giving us alter nat thawing and freezing tempera tures. The forecast of cooler weather tomorrow is welcome. A Walla Walla story is to the ef fect that two men have discovered a mysterious railroad on the east side of the Blue mountains. It Is the theory of the discoverers that the newly found road is to be part of the North Coast railroad and will pass through Walla Walla. Such dreams they do have over there. Motanic, the husky Indian wrest ler, says his sporting days are over. He is a Christian and does not want to wrestle with the athletic director from Hood River. Besides he says the Hood River man has no repu tation. Baker City men are now In the grip or the federal court. There are people here who are perfectly willing to have the honors passed around. The railroad may now put away its rotarles and bring on the bridge gangs and the track repairing crews. We were told once the plans for the federal building would be drafted In February'. This Is February. Who objects now to the expense In curred In strengthening and extend ing the levee? HE WAS SOBER. A certain captain in the army was summoned by his colonel to answer a charge of assault preferred against him hy a sentry, who had stated that the officer had used him pretty roughly one evening nt the gate of the barracks. A humorous phase of the affair was that the officer apparently had no recollection of the alleged assault. The sentry had made so bold as to declare that the officer was Intoxicated. Among those questioned was the captain's orderly, an Irishman, who protested vigorously that the allega tion of the sentry was a slander that he was sure the captain was per fectly sober the evening of the alleged assault. "Why are you so sure that Captain Blank was sober that evening?" he was asked. "Did you speak to you upon his return to his quarters?" "He did sir." "What did he say?" "H tould me to be shure an' call him early In the mornln', sir." "And did the captain say why he wished to be called early?" "Yes, sir, he did sir. He said he was going to be Queen o' the Hay, sir," responded the orderly with con vlnclng gravity. a A girl should not attempt to sing with feeling when she feels badly. SCCCESS. There's a word of cheer for the man with pluck . Who never gives way to an adverse luck, Who never confesses that he Is stuck, But keeps on moiling With vigor and tolling, No matter what conies and no matter what goes, He laughs at the man with a burden o f woes And finally harvests the cj-op that he sows. His "stlck-to-lt" spirit eventually grows On those whom he meets In the marts and the streets And the highways and byways ot life, and he greets With a strong word of courage the man who retreats At the first sign of failure and shows him the way To work with the sun if he wants to make hay. He lives on the song side Of life, on the strong side, And knows not the wrong side. Hut clutches the right; Tenaehlously clings till ho comes out victorious, Earning hia spurs In a struggle most glorious, Comes back for more in each unequal fight, Finally winning the goai ne Is after, Spreading his doctrine of grit and of laughter. C. P. McDonald. THE FUEEWATEK "MI." Freewater, Ore., Feb. 24. (Editor East Oregonlan.) I notice In your paper, under the date of February 16th, that you have published a story under the following head, "Want Sunday Lid Put on Freewater." -By referring to the paper of the above date you can easily find the article referred to. This article contains some things that, by a little stretch of imagination, might be considered true, but the force and intent jiven by the article is absolutely false and is en tirely without any basis which might be founded upon facts. I would be very glad if you would barred the errors in an issue of your paper, and thereby straighten things out and clear up the wrong. Impres sion that was given by tho article re ferred t". In the first place the pur pose for which this delegation met was nut primarily to clos- the near beer snlnon on Sunday, but to close up nil business houses In the city, more Piirtioulnrlv the clear stores nnil theisale of near beer is concerned, for several months, and the city officers have at all times enforced the city or dinances rclat'ng tel. the licensing and sale of near beer. In the second police this matter has never at any time been taken up with the city council, sii that the statements in the paper to that eff'-ct are absolutely fahu- and the person who gave out the inter view upon which' your story was based evidently was exceedingly economical in h's use of the truth. These mat ters have never been presented to the city council and the city, and there fore the council has never been called upon to act and there has never been an expression of opinion in the coun cil meetings regarding these matters. Certain facts will he presented to j the council nt the proper time, which ' will show the true nature , of the at- titude of the people who are backing this movement, and the. council will i take action when matters are pre sented to them and when the prop er time comes.- Very truly yours, JAMES P.
