THE PURPOSE.
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.

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

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.

Were we perfect, which we are not, medicines would
not often be needed. But since our systems have be

indisoretions which have done on from the (early ages,

"William and John were two broth
ers who differed widely in tempera
ment (see dictionary). 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
