RETROSPECT.
There is a pleasure In the back
ward drift
Of meditating: mind;
To draw the veil of years and
through the riff
Behold the scene behind.
For oft I have unwound the tan
gled skein
Of ravelled yesterdays,
rjnrnered old harvests. old
seas again
And traveled olden ways.
And ah. the things that were
and are no more
Are fairer, looking back;
And memory giveth to the days
of yore
What then they seemed to
lack.
Dear is the rose that on the
garden's breast
This morn hath cause, to
wake.
But dearer Is the withered rose
we pressed
And kept for old time's sake.
William F. MeCormaek.
because bills are now proposed for the
division of other counties within the
state. Yet right here It may be said
al.d truthfully said that all the new
county schemes are having "rough
sledding." People resent being called
upon to decide these disputes be
cause they are strictly local disputes.
As u result it may be safely predict
ed that In Xovember the voters will
show their disapproval by turning
down all the division bills that are
presented. Ml county division ques
tions should wait until a law is en
aited providing for their adjustment
by the people who are directly con
cerned. As for the Milton bill, as It now
stands, it Is the most absurd of all
that have been sprung thus far.
Should that bill go before the people
it would bp a joke. It would stand
as a rank abuse of the Initiative. In
the tiew of the East Oregonian that
bill would have as much chance for
success as would a tallow dog chasing
an asbestos cat through hades.
A TOAST.
SAVE THE SITUATION.
A RANK ABSURDITY.
If the bill for county division goes
tffore the people of the state as It
now .reads It will class as one of the
most ridiculous measures ever foisted
upon the attention of the voters since
the Initiative was adopted. This be
cause of the absurd boundaries se
lected for the proposed new county.
Under the boundaries proposed by
the Miltonites the greater portion of
the new county would be made up of
territory that is plainly averse to be
ing so included. It Is territory which
Tor geographical, commercial, edu
cational and other reasons Is allied
with Pendleton and the Pendleton
country. It is country that has noth
ing In common with Milton.
The proposed new county would in
clude Weston and Athena. Already
leading men of those two towns have
declared themselves as unanimously
opposed to the move. They have every
reason in the world to be opposed.
The new county would also include a
tig portion of the country along the
Northern Pacific branch line. It
-would Include much of the Helix
country; it would take In most of the
Adams country and even a slice of the
reservation. Now all this country is
naturally allied with Pendleton. It Is
adjacent to Pendleton. This is their'
business point and here is where they
come to secure educational advant
ages. It would be rankly unjust to
those people as well as to Pendleton
. to place that territory in the new
county. The new county would also
take in Wenaha springs, which is
pre-eminently a Pendleton resort.
It is evident at a glance that the
work of drafting the plan for the new
county was either hastily done or else
pf rformed by some one utterly ignor
ant of the geographical and business
conditions within this county. The
chief promoter of the propesed new
county is a young lawyer from the
east who has scarcely been in the
tate long enough to entitle him to
vote. His handiwork is apparent.
Doubtless he is an estimable and am
bitious young man but he is too new
in the country to undertake the re
disricting of this state.
It is doubtful if any considerable
number of people even in the Milton
Freewater country desire a new coun
ty created. The enthusiasts are con
fined to business men In Milton and
Freewattr. Their motives are plain.
Ortairily the farmers up there will
not care for a new county since It will
only mean increiisM taxation for
them.
But if the Milton-Freewater country
Is actually dissatisfied with the pres
ent situation then a county should be
formed comprising the country north
of Dry creek. The dlvUionlsta should
nut try to kidnap the country south
of that big canyon for the country
south of Dry creek is averse to such
proceeding.
Plainly the men who are booming
the new county have become excited
It is plain that the census people
are to hand Pendleton a lemon.
Through listless work on the part of
some of the enumerators scores of
local residents have been missed. Di
rect complaints that have come to
the East Oregonian show that the
enumerators, or at least some of
them, have not tried to do their duty.
Well known business and profession
al men have been passed up entirely.
Two East Oregonian employes and
their families have not been counted.
it is reported that ten of the em
ployes of the woolen mill have been
missed. It is doubtful if more than
two thirds of the people of the city
will be counted. One of the enumer
ators complains that the local count
ers are handicapped in that they have
not been properly equipped with sup
plies. They have been unable to ob
tain from Supervisor Beach blanks
which have been furnished enumer
ators in the towns of Washington and
i which have greatly facilitated the
work of enumeration in that state.
r rom appearances me census as xar
' ri s Tendleton Is concerned is going to
be a first class farce. At least It will
"o unless local people take it upon
themselves to remedy the situation.
If you have not been counted by an
enumerator then count yourself. Call
Main 114, the Commercial club, and
give the secretary your name and ad
dress. Either do that or else fill out
a blank giving your name and address
and .mail it to the Secretary of the
Commercial club at once. The secre
tary will see that you are counted.

IGNOBLE USE OF NAME.
(Harney County News.)
The Vews does not care a rap
whether Nesmith county Is formed
from Lan. and Dougla.s or not and
does not propose to give the boosters
of the scheme any more free adver
tising. It Is a local matter and should
either side feel a sufficient financial
interest in the proposition, let them
pay for space.
One feature of the contest has al
ready disguested us nnd that Is the ef
fort to obtain the benefit of a great
man's name to boost the financial
and political schemes of the Cottage
Grove fellows Those people care
no more for Senator Nesmlth or his
memory than for a last year's bird's
nest, but they know he Is well be
loved In Oregon generally and they
are exploiting his history in order to
make popular the proposed county,
which would bear his name.
Such efforts may attract tempo
rary attention, but the "General Ar
thur cigar" and all other things that
take a popular name for their Intro
duction must ultimately stand or fall
by their own Inherent merits In the
practical battle of life. Colonel Nes
mlth's name, fame and popularity
should not save the new county
scheme if It be otherwise unworthy.

They have not named him yet
he
Is king of mirth and Jollity.
They have not set his throne on high.
But In sweet linen he does lie,
And subjects come to bow them down
Before the new king comes to toVn.
H is not old enough to wear
The robes loved hands have woven
there
Of homespun on the looms of Joy
To clothe the golden king of boy
The sovereign at whose will they bend
In love's sweet service without end.
So far, his realm is only there
Beside the sickroom rocking chair;
But subjects of his sway from far
Steal in to see this youngster star,
And coddle him, and cry "How sweet
The king Is, from his head to fet!"
They have not named him yet, hut
will,
When at the moonlight window sill
The fairies of the twilight bring
Their magic dew on elfin wing
And on his little head that lies
Pour oil of roses for dream-kissed
eyes.

Alderman Bauler of Chicago -was
discussing his famous anti-hatpin res

"object to my resolution. They want
to carry hatpins as a defense when
they come home late at night from
the office or the theater. But that
plea, if these women will forgive me,
dodges the real issue.
"Yes, it dodges the real Issue as
Schermerhorn dodged it. Schermer
