Over and over the task we set; Over and over I slight the work; But ever and always I know - that yet I must face and finish the thing I shirk. Over and over the whip of pain Has spurred and punished with blow on blow; As ever and always I tried in vain ! To shun the labor I hated so. Over and over I came this way For Just one purpose oh, stub- born soul Turn with a will to your ' toll today. And learn the lesson of Self Control. Ella Wheeler Wilcox In The Nautilus. TIME FOR CAUTION. In his annual address given at Ore gon City Tuesday, Austin T. Buxton, master of the state grange advised against overuse of the legislative priv- i . . ... .1 1 A 'r- go'n. He foresees danger in excessive use of the initiative and says, "The principle Itself is worth far too much tor the people to take any chances on Its overthrow or Its . serious Impair ment" Mr. Buxton Is right and friends of direct-legislation will do well to heed Ills counsel. Too many measures are being initiated. The people will be unable to give proper consideration to them all and so the best results will not be obtained". Then the over use 6f the Initiative tends to create sentiment against that popular meas ure. Enemies of the Initiative are iioping that it will "break with - Its own weight." But as Mr. Buxton says, the principle is worth too much "for the people to take chances of the overthrow of the la . The initiative anust not be overused. When It Is Invoked for imoroDer nurnoses the people should resent such behavior and those who make improper use-of their privileges along this line should be "taken down." -. By the nature of things the initiative may be most properly used In the set tlement of issues that affect the en tire state and issues upon which the people have sufficient 'information to pass intelligently. The Initiative, may be used with propriety in the settle ment of the normal school question. That is a question the legislature has been unable to solve. It is also a question in which the entire state is Interested because. normal training Is .t the foundation of our public school system. But It is wholly wrong to invoke the Initiative In behalf of measures that are of purely local Interest and re garding which the people f large are not Informed. The two. fishery bills that were up several j-ears ago fur nished a glaring example of Improper use of the initiative. . The people could not Judge of the merits of those two bills. They should have voted both of them down. Were those bills to come up in the same form again hey would surely be smothered under an avalanche of negative votes. County division questions are also of purely local Interest. Of what con cern to the people of eastern Oregon Is the scheme to create "Nesmlth" county In southern Oregon. What do the people down there care about the move to establish "Orchard" county. What docs the state at large care re garding any of the half dozen or more division bills that are proposed? How can the people at large hope to Judge of the merits of any of those bills? The East Oregonlan is a firm be- Uever In the Initiative, but it wants to see the ; law properly used. If the Initiative Is to be used In the settlement of county division ques - tlons and other local Issues then its doom Is sealed. There Is scarcely any limit to the number of division bills that may be drafted. Every town In . the state may stsjtf a move for a new county with. itself aa the county seat Present boundasy lines would be thrown to the winds, taxes would be come enormously Increased and the state thrown Into baBlam. It Is high time such men as the master of the state grange come to the front with words of caution with reference to the use of the Initiative. WHILE THE LOCl'STS HLOOM. Here is a suggestion for the local photographers. Take pictures tf the many beautiful scenes about Pendle ton while the locust trees are In blossom. Never did the locusts blos som in greater profusion before and never was any city decked In greater splendor than Is Pendleton at this time. Almost every residence street in the city Is lined with locust trees end now that they are all In blossom every thoroughfore is made beautiful. Everywhere about the city there are vistas that would delight the eye of people who live in the east and have Just gone through a heavy blizzard while the spring time sun was mak ing eastern Oregon smile with pleas ure. Souvenir cards should be gotten out showing these scenes. Local peo ple could send 'them to their friends in all parts of the country and !t would be Splendid advertising for Pen dletan and for eastern Oregon. If every person ,In the city would send out 10 souvenir postals then 60,000 cr more people in different parts of the world would learn how Pendleton looks while the locusts are In blossom. CIRCOTOrS SERVICE. ! Frank Rack who now lives at Wain wright. Alberta, and has been a sub scrlber to the East Oregonlan for 25 years, complains that it takes 11 days for his paer to 'reach Wainwright. The paper Is sent from Pendleton to Seattle, thence to Victoria, thence to Wlnnepeg, then back to Edmonton and to Wainwright. Mail could be sent from Pendleton to Wainwright in five days. Spokane mall goes through to that town In three days and mall from Walla Walla reaches there In four days. Evidently thebassv' who 18 Mr- Longworth's sister, railway mail clerks who handle the Pendleton mall have not yet learned the geometrical,' principle - that a straight line is the shortest' distance between two points. Or else they are trying to provide a. long haul for the railroads. If second class matter Is carried on a mileage basis and, the railway , mall service throughout the entire country is of the efficiency here indicated, it is not surprising' there Is a postal deficit. Perhaps Mr. Hitch cock could reduce that deficit by a closer supervision of the work being done by Jils department "Mllton-Freewater should- be proud to be an important part of a county of Umatilla's matchless resources- famed for its fruit and grain," says the Weston Leader. "To divide it would nullify the widespread adver tising it has received, fhrough Tom Richardson and 'otherwise, for pro ducing one per cent of the wheat crop of the entire 'United States." Very true. ' J. W. Scrlber's plea is that worry ing over his bank caused him to lose his mental balance and he then re sorted to forgeries. Bankers should bo men of stronger balance than that Some local teachers are to leave to take positions in the larger cities. The board cannot fill vacancies from am ong this years graduates from the Oregon normals. Some people think they will get measures through under the Initiative while people are not looking. But they are mistaken. People are going to be looking this year. Here's hoping James J. Hill will not use all his money building electric roads in western Oregon. Eastern Oregon would like a few lines also. "War is hell," according to Gener al Sherman. So It should be avoided when possible. May this feeling be shared by the Mlltonltes. Bring on th ba,nd concerts. LYNCHING AS IT IS. Louisville Courier Jatfrnal: Any one who Is familiar with the lynch ing problem from a field experience any one who has been near enough the scene of the mob outrage to ab sorb the atmosphere of the occasion and know the truth about local sen timent knows that the resident cor respondent rarely writes the real story of the lynching. He describes the dramatic advance of "determined cltl cens" upon the Jail and the "deep feeling" of the community against the victim of the mob. He rarely tells how a proportion of the mob is made i up of the most disreputable element !m tne community; how much whisky and hilarity lend iest to the man hunt; how large a sprinkling of boys In their "teens" and young men In their early (twenties participate In the festivities and how much more interest is felt In committing a murder that carries no penalties than in avenging a crime for which the penalty would surely be prescribed If the crlmlnaj were brought to trial. One touch of ezperiencs Is worth a world of caution,. "REAL DANGER OF A VOYAGE. May Atlantic: Some years ago elaborate plans were drawn up for the safety of lines when clear of (he land. I refer to the tracksvugreed upon; by the leading steamship companies. These tracks no doubt are a good thing and do 4 minimize the rteks of an ocean passage, but the gravest and most unwarrantable risks rc taken In the very worst places In the world the English channels and under the worst possible conditions. Sailors on leaving port, often mud dled through drink, ai'e of no assist ance to the officer In keeping a look out. The officers though not through drink, are worse than muddled. Their faculties are impaired, their eyes are almost closed, their "bodies are worn out; all this through false economy, or Ignorance and bad .management, on somebody's part. Until some fine vessel with its precious cargo Is sent to the bottom through collision, these things, I believe, will not' be rectified. It is only by good luck that this has not happened already. But luck will turn some day.. Who will pay the piper then? Not the wornout ntan.'on the bridge, I hope. MECCA OF RICH WIDOWS. Washington Post: The popularity of Washington as a residence city has led to its being dubbed a "mecca for rich widows." Many wealthy women have purchased homes here during the past two years. Among them is Mrs. Marshall Field, who Is building an attractive residence In New Hamp shire avenue. Mrs. Field's niece is Mrs. Alfred J. Beverldge, wife of Sen ator Beverldge of Indiana, and the desire to be nearHhls favorite young relative has been an added attraction for the Chicago leader. : Other well-known folk who have recently announced an Intention to settle In Washington next season , are Mr. and Mrs. Henry White, the form er until recently ambassador to France and General and Mrs. Theodore Bing ham. Mr. and Mrs. White have hosts of friends In Washington and plan to settle down here.' Another well-known couple, formerly prominent In diplo matic life, Mr. and Mrs. Bellamy Storer, are also expected to make their home here next winter. Mrs. Storer became familiar with Washington so ciety during her husband's congres sional service. The Storers have many affiliations with the smart set here. Mrs. Storer is the aunt of Represen tative Nicholas Longworth and of the Countess de Chambrun, wife of the military attache of the French em SEXTEXCE SERMONS. Making earth brighter makes heav en surer. ' You do not manifest faith by deny ing facts. Praying is a wasteful act when It stops at wishing. You can not live for people with out living with them. . No man has a great. mission who slights little ministries. Spend some minutes In charity and a month in advertising it. Too many think that square living must mean sour looking. Too many mistake the squabbles of creed for the fight of faith. Turn your face to the sun and you will never fear the shadows. ." There is no naturalization for heav en without good citizenship here. - Many preachers mistake pounding the people for expounding the truth. The more you think of money the more you are likely to miss true rich es. No man Is ever good enough to dic tate the terms of goodness to anatti er. . ' x No man ever deeply admired a great good without deeply detesting that which stood in its way. Henry F. Cope. INVENTOR OF THE DLME NOVEL. The death of Orville J. Victor, which occurred at his home in Ho- hokus. New Jersey,, recently, removed a remarkable character and a man possessing a distinctive claim to ce-. lebrity. Only two or three newspapers chronicled his demise, says Harper's Weekly, and none of them referred to the work with which he was long est associated. They told of the his tories and biographies- which he wrote and the newspapers and periodicals which he conducted. None of them mentioned his connection with Bea dle's Dime Novels, all of which he ed ited for many years. How the pulses of the robust boys of forty or fifty years ago stir today when they recall Malaeska, the Indian Wife of the White Hunter; Seth Jones; Onomoo, the Huron and the other paper-covered pocket treasures which Orville J. Victor's skilful staff of con tributors produced In the sixties and seventies of the past century. Both the Beadles died long ago, and so did Adams, their partner in the publish ing business. And now their accom plished and versatile editor has de parted. The Beadle series were the pioneers In the dime-nnvel field, and they were better than any of their Imi tators of the later period. Of those who were associated In any capacity in a prominent way with the Beadle novels in (thelr earlier and greater days all are dead except Ed ward S. Ellis and Mary A. Denlson. Dr. Ellis' Seth Jones, which was print ed Just half a century ago and which was the most famous of all the "dimes' was translated Into a dozen languages and had a sale of over five thousand copies.

William "vas always" kind and good, and had been ever since he was born. John was bold 'and bad, and would be until- he died. When William reached man's estate (which was the only estate he ever did reach) he fell In love with a beautiful maiden and married her. John also fell In love and married, which was the only time In his life that he followed his brother's example. As time went on, William rose in 'the business world until he became a bookkeeper for a wholesale grocery firm at a salary of $12 a week. John found It necessary .to struggle along on a modest stipend of $6,000 a year, for he was only a broker. William, however, couldn't be any broker. Wil liam proved 'a model husband, and permitted his better half to absorb eleven-twelfths of his earnings, whereas John made his wife keep house on $4.75 a week, and beat her regularly every Tuesday. After , a while the world was surprised to heat- that William's better half had run away with a male person who wore FATHER 80 - two trying winters neither of them had a cold, and were able to walk farther and do more than for years. I think Vinol is perfectly wonderful. It certainly is the greatest blood-making, strengthening tonic for old people I ever heard of." We want every feeble old person In this town to try Vlnol. We will retnrn their money without question II It does not accomplish all we claim for It. THE PENDLETON DRUG CO., Pendleton. FOR 1600 acres In northern Grant Co. All fenced, good buildings.
