That was a strong address ex-President Roosevelt delivered at the Sar bonne Saturday. It is an address that may be read with profit by every citl- . ten of this republic. Those who have read it will be willing to accept Col. Roosevelt's statement that it was his crowning effort as a man of letters. Eloquence never consists alone in the words that are spoken. The man and the occasion are the more essen tial features. Lincoln's Gettysburg address would have sounded com monplace and would nave oeen j Quickly forgotten had it been deliver. ed by another man and upon a less j Important occasion. Those few sim- j pie words have become immortal be cause they were spoken by President Lincoln on 'the day when the Am erican people were paying tribute to the heroic men who fell In the de cisive battle oS the civil war. The Important thing about Roose velt's lecture at the Sarbonne Is that It waa delivered by Roosevelt the man of action as well as of Ideas, the man who has been tried In the fire and found true steel, the Idol of the American people. Then particular interest attaches to the lecture be cause It was delivered at the seat of old world learning by a man who la typical of the life and thought of the new world. In every respect Saturday's lecture Is characteristic of Roosevelt. The language Is simple yet forible. No flights of oratory are attempted. There Is nothing particularly origi nal about the address. It Is largely a lay sr-rm'in. Captious critics will not like it a ii 1 will say it is but a re petition of things Roosevelt has al ready said many times" in the past. But the value of the address lies in It very simplicity and Its timeliness. It treats of subjects that are close to the hearts of the people of this re public and of the republic of France. His remarks deal with everyday problems. The great point which he makes Is that the safety of a repub lif depends upon the maintenance of a high standard of Individual cltl censhlp. He also struck a popular chord -when he departed from his i written address and declared that when there is a conflict of interest between property rights and human rights the latter must have the upper hand because property belongs to man and not man to property. That re mark seems of especial significance just at this time. Puch a conflict Is now on. The Sarbonne adoress reflects the character of Roosevelt better than does any other address he has ever made. The address shows the culture of the well born New Yorker and the Harvard scholar. It. shows the seal and earnestness of a man who has al ways worked for civic righteousness and has striven in a practical way to combine the ideal with the actual. It reflects the virility, the courage and the patriotism of the western cattle man and the colonel of the Rough Riders. A'llVS THE SCOFFEH. There is one part of Roosevelt's ad Iress which the East Oregonlun be- Mit ves wnrthv or repeating, for the 1 net" it of certain people within this city. Here it is, if the, shoe fits you wear it: "The poorest way to face life Is to face it with a sneer. There are many men who feel a kind of twisted pride in cynicism; there are many who con fine themselves to criticism of the way ethers do what they themselves dare not even attempt. There Is no more unhealthy being, no man less worthy respect, than he who either really holds, or feigns to hold, an attitude of sneering disbelief towards all that is great and lofty, whether in achieve ment or in that noble effort which. even if it rail, comes second to ach Itvement. A cynical habit of thought and speech a readiness to criticise work which the critic himself never tries to perform, an intellecual aloof ness which will not accept contact with life's realties all. these are marks, not, as the possessor would fain think, of superiority, but of weakness. They mark the men unfit t' hear their part manfully In the stern strife of living, who seek, In 'the affectation of contempt for the achievements of others, to hide from others and from themselves their own ., cjT.cr.ejs. The role ?s c-ry; there is f Me easier, save only the role of the 4 1 man w ho sneers alike at both critl icism and performance." WHY NOT RAISE THEIR PAY'? T That t !1 by til That the service now being render- :he Pacific, telephone and tele graph company is very poor cannot be denied. There are many who con tend it is more faulty than ever be fore since the 'phone service was es- tablished. Just why this service Is so , poor the East Oregonian does not 1 know because it has made no Investl 1 gation. This paper Is of the belief. however, from casual knowledge of the subject, that much of the fault conies from the policy of the company in giving its employes ridiculously "mail pay. Though they do trying work, the local "Hello" girls do not jsf't sufficient pay to meet actual liv ing expenses. So It is but natural I that the office should frennentlv he .. hflHs ,. th the I girls should care little whether or not j they continue to work for the com pany. Had the company raised the pay of its employes instead of the rates on four party "phones the ac tion would have suited local people tetter. GOD'S COUNTRY. With the fine spring weather now prevailing In eastern Oregon lovers of outdoor sports and pastimes are In their glory. Yesterday local anglers were busy beguiling the festive trout from the mountain streams. The baseball fans were out watching the names of the Blue mountain league and of the West End league. Others were out in autos, rigs and on horse back to enjoy the good weather. It is weather such as only favored por tions of the earth enjoy at this time of the year and It is striking contrast with the blizzard that has been sweep ing through the middle west during the past few days. THE CZAR AND A PARISIAN. "On one of his visits to Paris Nich olas Tl. was left alone for a moment in his carriage," says M. Paoii in the May McClure's. "The czar was de lighted at the feeling of freedom and ea.se. Looking out of the window with all the zest of a schoolboy play ing truant, he saw before him one nf those picturesque street-Arabs who seem to sprout between the paving stones of Paris. This particular speci men, seated against the railings, with his nose in the air. was whistling the ri frain of the Russian national hymn. Suddenly their eyes met. The street boy sprang to his feet he had never si-en the emperor, but he had seen his photograph, and the likeness was striking. " 'Suppose it is Nicholas ' he to himself, greatly puzzled. "He resolved to make sure without delay. Walking up to within a yard of the carriage and bobbing his head, he xhouted in a hoarse voice to the unknown foreigner: " 'How's the empress?" "Picturo his stupefaction for, in fact, he thought It was only a good Joke when the stranger replied, with a smile: " 'Thank you, the empress Is very well, and Is delighted with her Jour ney.' "The boy lost his tongue. He star-" ed at th speaker In dismay, and then, raising his cap, stalked away slowly, very slowly, to mark his dignity. "Nicholas II. afterward often amus ed himself by scandalizing the for ma! set around him 'with the story of this private Interview with a true Parisian." "Are you bound morally to return everything you have ever stolen?" "What a question! Certainly." "Then I guess I had better go at once and give Mollle back the kiss I stole yesterday.

If I thought I was Injured in any de gree By the smoking I do I should quit It this minute; The doctor has said smoke was poison to me Put that is all gammon: there's no logic in It. I wish I might go for a long rest somewhere; I can't seem to sleep any more as I oucht to; My nerves are unstrung, I get plung ed in despair Over trivial things when I know I niight not to, If I thought I was smoking too much I should cease And never again have the least craving for It. If n.v pipe didn't bring me a sweet sense ,of peace I should have the good sense and the vfill to abhor it. I have promise,! my wife to let up for a week.

For the first time in the geologic history of North America, diamonds have been found in the original mat rix In Arkansas. Three companies already are operating In the field and more than seven hundred diamonds have been found, the largest of them weighing six and one-half carats. While of course many of the stones are of excellent quality and cut Into finished gems with no more than the average loss In weight, they range in color from the purest blue-white to canary yellow and brown. Only the surface of the diamond field has been touched, and whether unto!; r'?!:c- I'c trnetth 'X on'y t'mo can tell. For the present the indica tions all favor the belief that the mine will become an important factor In the diamond supply of the United States. That the Arkansas diamonds are not the accidental relics of a bygone glacial age and that the field is both large and potentially Immensely prof itable has been thoroughly establish ed. The most widely known diamond experts'in the United States have pronounced the Arkansas gems fully the equal of the South African pro duct and equally eminent geologists have defined the area in which they are found and pronounced it a true diamond crater, similar to the great diamond mines In South Africa, the periodite formation in each being es sentially similar.

O. that the mayor, city council and Commercial associa tion have taken a stand ngalnst the services and rates of the telephone company; also wish to make a stat? ment, as I am manager of Farmer Line No. 4. or the Fulton farmer line. We have paid ti a year for rent of phones with no switchboard charges for several years back and have a seven party line, our last lease expir ed April 1. 1910. We were then no tified that we must buy our phones, Instead of rent, as we had previously did. Our phones cost us $14.50 each and our switchboard services cost JT.20 a year for each phone on the line. You can see by this how the far mer lines are treated in services and I must say the service we get is worse than ever before on line No. 4. We feel like it Is time to all join together and do something for better services and lower prices than what we ore now getting. I remain, Respectfully, ' H. J. TAYLOR. LOBSTERS.
