IMPATIENCE.
Our life is spent in little things;
In little cares our hearts are
drowned;
We move, with heavy-laden
wings, x.
In the same narrow round.
s
We waste on wars and petty
strife.
And squander in a thousand
ways, V
The fire that should have been
the life,
And power of after days.
We toil to make an outward
show,
And only now and then re
veal, How far the under currents flow
Of all we think and feel.
Mining in covers of ancient lore,
Unweaving endless webs of
thought.
We do what .has been done of
yore.
And so we come to naught.
The spirit longs for wider'scope
And room to let Its fountains
play .
Ere it has lost its love and hope,
Tanned down or worn away.
I wonder by the cloister wall
My fancy fretting to be free
As, through the twilight, voices
. call
From mountain and from sea.
Forgive me if I feel oppressed
By Custom, lord of all and
me!
My soul springs upward, seek
ing rest.
And cries for liberty.
John Nichol.
WHY XOT?
- Commenting on the situation in the
senate at this time the Oregonian
eaid:
"President Taft and his supporters
In legislation have turned from in
surgents to democrats for support for
the administration railroad bill. This
is natural and logical action. There
can be no effective harmony between
sensible conservatives and radical ex
tremists of the insurgent stripe. There
U common interest,' however, between
the anti-radical interests of demo
cratic and republican parties; in fact
there is a natural bond of interest be
tween them.
"Old issues that divide citizenship
Into republican and democratic par
ties have diminished in potency to
uch extent that evidently they con
trol neither party any longer. The
conflict now, as represented In con
gress, is not so much between the old
parties as between extremists who
fight for noisy innovation and uncom
promising radicalism and "safe and
sane" opponents of these efforts."
But !f time has eliminated the Old
ihnues that divide the democratic and
republican parties why continue those
pailk-s. Why wear the old clothes If
they have ceased to fit? Why not
f irm a progressive and a conservative
party?

Sl'ClI CHICANERY.
The "Orchard" county divlsionlsts
are seeking to show that county di
vision will lower taxes. They assert
that the last year Hood River was in
Wasco county the tax levy was 15
mills whereas during the first year
o Hood River county the levy was
7.5 mills. ' , .
But why don't they tell the Whole
truth? Why don't they say that re
gardless of the change in the levy
property owners at Hood River paid
more taxes than they did when they
were in Wasco county. E. A. Schif
fler's taxes were increased 81.4 per
cent. The last year he was in Wasco
county he paid $85.50 taxes. The
next year, in Hood River county, he
paid $138 taxes upon the same iden
tical property. In other words county
division cost him just $52.50 for that
one year.
What does it profit a taxpayer to
have his levy reduced if his assess
nient is increased? It is pure chlcan
ery to argue that the mere lowering
of the levy in Hood Rives county did
any good. Men like Mr. Schlffler who
have paid the penalty of county di
vision know what division means
They know the value of the '.'esti
mates" the Milton divisionists are now
making for campaign purposes.
THEY HAVE A REMEDY.
If reports are to be relied upon
some of the "Orchard" county boost
ers do not like the idea of "Hudson"
county. They say the move Is unjust,
Piffle. Why did not the "Orchard"
county schemers give some thought
to Justice when they drew their boun
dary lines. Why did they come south
of Dry creek and Include In their
proposed county the towns of Weston
and Athena and most of the Adams
and Helix sections? Weston and
Athena don't want ( to be in "Orch
ard" county. It wouto be the height
of injustice to place them in "Orclr-
ad" county. "Hudson" county frees
Athena and Weston from "Orchard"
.
county. It "Hudson" county Is unfair
so is "Orchard" county only much
more so. If Milton does not like
'Hudson" county the divlsionlsts have
the remedy In their own hands. Let
them drop the entire matter.'' They
started it
Pendleton had a substantial delega
tion at the Caledonian picnic yester
day. Next week the people of this
city should attend the pioneers re
union at Weston. Then the Straw
berry festival at Milton. Providing
of course that the county divlsionlsts
would not object.
It is amusing to listen to the man
ner in which the astronomers are ac
counting for the fact that the earth
did not pass through the tall of the
comet.
"In union there Is strength."
BE THERE TONIGHT.
At the court house thlB evening a
good roads meeting will be held and
two notable advocates of Improved
highways will make addresses. It
will be a meeting of importance and It
should be generally attended by farm
ers and by business men. In the move
to construct better roads the people
of the oounty and the people of the
city may , welL join hands. It would
be of mutual beueflt to all to have
better highways. So be out this eve
ning to hear Judge Webster and Mr.
Eldrltlge and o lend( your infduence
towards aiding the cause.

Lingerie gowns, guiltless of a collar
are frequently worn with a narrow
velvet band at the throat, on which
may be a diamond or other Jeweled
ornament.
A detachable frill and ' detachable
turnover . collar are additions to a
smart white linen shirtwaist or medi
um weight, which has the front 'cov
ered with quarter inch tucks.
There is a late fancy among some
Parisian costumers for making the
belts of the more elaborate gowns of
a color in contrast to the whole color
scheme of the garment.
Practical little striped gingham
frocks for tiny folks of two to four
years are In Russian style or with a
long French waist and full kilted
skirts in bright or dark colors.
Ruffles of plaited net, batiste, plain
or lace edge, and attached to a head
ing of insertion, may be bought by the
yard and made into side frills for the
shirtwaist or coat suit.
The Jewel framework Is a feature of
the newest model In bags, and the
decoration ranges from a simple stone
set In the center to a framework ln
crusted with Jewels throughout Its en
tire length.
Russian effects are shown and worn
in endless variety. One of the newest
developments of the peasant Idea is
the dress fashioned on lines Identi
cal with the coat suit and hardly to
be distinguished from It.
"You have a pretty tough-looking
lot of customers to dispose of this mor
ning, haven't you?" remarked the
friend of the magistrate, who had
dropped in at the police court.
"Huh," rejoined the dispenser of
Justice, "you are looking at the wrong
bunch. These are the lawyers."

MARY. -
Don't you tell me J'll be tiring of
admiring,
That ever shall grow weary of
my deary.
Should you ask me If I'd ever
Wish a single bond to sever,
I would hardly deign to answer to
your query.
I'm aware that men are vicious nml
capricious,
That their notions and their Inclin
ations vary,
But I'm sure they would be stead
led If they happened to be wedded
To a woman half as wonderful as
Mary.
I have heard of fellows picking flaws
and kicking.
But I'd never bo a scrappy sort of
chappy.
You would never find me snarl
ing At the cooking of my darling,
While she loved me,. I'd be satis
fied and huppy.
Among men's most common dodges
are their lodges,
When their wives of evening liber
ties are chary,
Anything that might detain me
Would immeasurably pain me,
I'd be anxious to be getting home
to Mary.
Kenneth Harris.
NOW HE THINKS ITS WRONG.
Two old cronies went Into il drug
store In the downtown part of New
York City, and, addressing the pro
prietor by his first name, one of them
said:
"Dr. Charley, we have made a bet
of the ice cream sodas. We will have
them now, and when the bet is de
cided the loser will drop In and pay
for them."
As the two old fellows were depart
ing after enjoying their temperance
beverage, the druggist ' asked them
what the wager was.
"Well," 'said one of them, "our
friend George bets that when the
tower of the Singer building falls, it
will topple over toward 'the North
River, and I bet that it won't."

Egypt or In Rome.
