T1FE SAGE BnCSH.
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. When the for,h PfRC 167 of the session laws

?Hoknne saloons object to the re- , '
movaX of screens they admit they are

It Is a confession that will make pro
hibition votes In Washington.
The haw is being managed in a
splendid manner. With the heavy
snow in the mountains an immediate
break-up might be disastrous for it
would cause high water in the creeks
and rivers. 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

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.

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,

The city of Pendleton was very
fortunate when It secured the Bishop
family, lo take charge of the woolen
mills there. Hon. C. P. Bishop Is
one of t lie best woolen mill men In
the west and one of the best mer
chants, and his two sons, Roy and
Clarence, are thoroughly educated In
every branch of tho factory work.
Because of these facts the Fendleton
woolen mills have been a success
from the very start and are now sell
ing their products to Wanamaker In
Philadelphia, and to similar houses
' in New York, Boston and other trade
c enters. The value to Pendleton of
t such an industry can be readily seen.
