The fields are ploughed, the seed is sown And summer nurtures it, of her grace; Soon will the food of the world be grown. And the harvest time come on apace; But nowhere do I see or hear The reaper of the yesteryear. A houso is building across the way, From sill to roof it is rising fair; The sound of hammers begins the day. At night the workmen still are there; But nowhere do I see or hear The master builder of yester year. The work of the world goes bravely on, Though the toiling hands may pause and fail; Another comes when one is gone, There are men, and labor, whatever befall; Soon one may look, nor see nor hear The song or singer of yesteryear. FIGHT IT DOWN". At this time there is nut the slight est excuse fur any county division agi tation in this county. Pendleton, the county seat of Umatilla county, is lo cated in the geographical center of the countj and it is easily accessible from every direction. Twenty two passenger trains run in and out of this city every day. Six of these trains run daily between Pendleton and the east end of the county.. On those trains one may enter or leave Pendleton in the morning, In the eve ning or in the middle of the night. So the service is very convenient. Nor has the east end any just com- D'.aint uDOn unv other score. Most of the present county officials are from that section. This has been true fcr a number of years. The east end has always been well recognized. The east end has also been well treated In the matter of road and bridge Im provement". Steel bridges are now in use throughout that entire section. The east end has been well cared for. But in return for this fair and lib eral treatment the people of Milton, or some of them at least, have sprung a proposition that is absolutely unfair and Inexpedient. By a "gerrymander in?" process they have drawn the lines o' "Orchard" county so as to include Athena and Weston and most of the farm country near Helix and Adams. None of that country, and it is great er in area than the Milton-Freewater ccuntry, wants to be in a new county. It is far more convenient for the peo ple of that section to come to Pendle ton than go to Milton. Then those people know that if the new county Is cieated taxation will be Increased, perhaps doubled. Instead of beln In bi' county, free from debt and with th ass-ed valuation of $42,000,000 they will be left In a "one horse" county that will have no presfine and will have no money for roads, bridges or any other sort of work. The '"Orchard" county move was not started because a new county Is needed or because the east end section lias any Just complaint against Uma tilla county. It was started in a spir it f narrow self .-hnr .S'.me Milton people believe it would benefit them personally to have their town made a county seat. In order to gratify their selfishness they are willing to work an inconvenience and Injustice upon others. They are willing to be unfair to Weston, Athena, Helix, Adams and t Pendleton. They don't care If tax ation is Increased. The money will be expended In their town, in building a court house. In paying the salaries of new officials and In meeting other expenses. The question at this time Is as to whether or not the people of Umatilla connty residing outside of Milton are going to stand for this sort of division That they don't want division la al ready known. Then they should take stops to see that the county Is not iliViileil. AN KmtTKI FOOL. Idiots like Trof. Hamilton of the University of California are respon sible for many race riots. He has de clared the belief that the Jeffries Johnson fight showed the equality of the Mack and white races. It did nothing f the sort nnd nobody hut nr. Imbecile could express the senti ments credited to this Hamilton. The fipht simply showed that as a pugilist Johnson was superior to his "has hi en" opponent. It does not even show that the colored race is equal or superior to the white race in a phy sieal sense. One German might whip an Irishman yet that would not show the physical superiority of the Ger man people over the Irish. Just after the civil war there were many fools like Prof. Hamilton. They were found among the carpet l'MSsers and scalawags who invested the south in the reconstruction days and made that period the blackest in American history. They tried to preach equality of the races, but the scheme was a tragic failure just as It will be every time the experiment Is tried. Xor is this any reflection upon the black race. That race Is handl er, pped in competing with the white man. The colored race was taken cut of savagery but a few generations since. Caucasians on the other hand have been climbing the ladder of civ. ib.zation for thousands of years. The black race cannot hope to catch up !nd this fact Involves no disgrace to that race either. It is true that the colored people are making progress as are all other rrces. For this progress colored peo ple are entitled to credit and to en couragement. But the true friend of the colored man advises him to main tain his race entity and to work In I that sphere for which nature has fit- jt'd him. The man who talks of race equality and especially of social equai i'y is either a fool or a knave. Where eer his advice has been followed It has resulted In disaster and it always will. FOR A "BUMPER" FAIR, Within a very short time the open ing date for the Third district fair will be at hand. If the fair commis sion lives up to its past record the ccmlng fair will be the best that has been held. Thus far each fair has been just a little hit better than Its ptedeeessor. Now Pendleton, wants this repu tation sustained. Pendleton wants the district fair to succeed and grow In size and in popularity. This hope may be gratified if only the proper work is done. Nor may all the labor be left upon the shoulders of the fair commissioners. It Is true that the chief burden must fall upon those men. The success of the fair will de pend primarily upon the amount of Interest and energy devoted to the work by President C. E. Roosevelt and his colleagues upon the fair board. Eut the community at large can do i.iueh towards making the fair a suc cess. Every local resident and every resident of Umatilla county or of Morrow should be a booster for the fair. Especially Is this true with re erects to local businessmen. . Now while we yet have the time h t us all get busy and work for a greater and more popular Third Dist rict fair. It will be worth while to do so. A .TTET HORSE. The argument Is made that the as sembly was devised to reunite the re publican party within this state. It was not. The real forces back of the assembly scheme, though not the sur face supporters, do not care whether the republican or the democratic par ty Is in power. They use both parties And one party about as much as the other. What these "higher ups" want is to get hold of affairs again. They are afraid of the direct primary be muse under that system people elect men who serve the people and are In debted only to the public. The "higher ups" want a centralized au thority In the person of a machine boss. They want to he able to go to such a man and say "we want this sort of a man for governor, or for senator or for judge,'" nnd he able to get what they want. The plea that the assembly was devised to promote the welfare of the republican party Is purely hypocrisy. That plea Is. made because partisanship is a horse the "higher ups" have often ridden In the past and ridden with success. But he is now a Jaded old skate and the people who rely upon him these days generally fall. After the O. R. & N. gets moved into Its new depot -and completes the Improvements around the station the place will look better. Especially If the grounds are parked. Next upon the program .will be the convention of the Spanish war vet erans of this state. Pendleton is the "convention city." Now is the time for all good citizens to subscribe to the anti-division fund. The "good old summer -urely here. time" is post riiiiiOsoPHY. History's hall of fame will never be overcrowded. Some people like outside title-tattle better than money rrom Tiome. Children got pleasure In original packages. It's easier for u man on the down grade to switch for the worse than for the better. Some sermons creat,. the snsmicion that the preacher is afraid of waking an innuenlial parishioner. Blessings in disguise should have their disguise removed while ripe. Slimy failures result from being ed ucated beyond opportunity. Many a man afraid to drive a horse in a walk will attempt a mile a min ute in a strange automobile. The hardest part of som.. rilwlne' is in the getaway. WHAT IS AX AMERICAN- A spirited and timely article entitl ed "What is an American?" by War ren Barton Blake, is one of several novel features In the July Lippin cott's. "Part of the difficulty in discover ing just what an American is, Is due to the mixing process the poor fellow had been put through," says Mr. Blake. "It would be a simpler mut ter to decide, what isn't an Ameri can? "In realizing our present day cos mopolitanism, we forget how near this cosmopolitanism comes to being our tradition. Too often we think only of the British colonies when our co lonial period is spoken of. Last sum mer's Champlain celebration escap ed futility in reminding us how mixed our stock has been from the begin ning how nearly fortuitous the English supremacy. Why be bullied into exaggerating our debt to the Is land Home? It was Captain Basil Hall who told our grandfathers that 'England taught the Americans all they have of thought, hitherto. What thoughts they have not learned from England are foolish thoughts; what words they "nave not learned. un seemly words." It is good to be re minded either by an International fete or by re-reading Crevecoeur's 'Letters from the American Farmer.' how much we do not owe to old England. And it is reassuring, as we contemplate the vast experiment that goes on today, to know how well our primitive experiments in race-mixings succeeded. I like to be remind ed what good citizens of Philadelphia were Benezet and Stephqn Girard; and how. Justly Nev York honors her Putch heritabe. 'Ubi pans, ubi patria,' quotes good St. John de Crevecoeur, who had married a Yonkers girl nam ed Mehitahle Tippet, and tilled a farm in Orange county, near the Jersey line. This Franco-American paints so idyllic a picture that we positively envy the settler his hardships. 'The rich and the poor,' nu says, 'are not so far removed from each other us they ure in Europe;' cultivators boasted in those days 'a pleasing uni formity of decent habitations.' The Farmer wrote before the age of Tene ment commissions. "Yet In describing the American's complex materials, Crevecoeur was modern enough; as modern as his style. ' I could point out to you,' he writes, 'a family whose grandfather was an Englishman, whose wife was Dutch, whose son married a French woman, and whose present four sons have now lour wives of different na tions. He is an American who, leav ing behind him all his ancient prejud ices and manners, receives new ones from the new mode of life he has em braced, the new government he obeys and the new rank he holds. He be comes an American by being . . . melted into a new race of men, whose labors and posterity will one day cause great changes in the world. Ameri cans are the festern pilgrims, who arc carrying along with them that great mass of arts, sciences, vigor and in dustry which began long since in the east; they will finish the great c I re re . , . . There is room for every body in America. "We cannot improve upon Crevec oeur today. If he generalizes pretty boldly, so do we. We're worried; when we stop to think; but, on the whole, we're proud. Aldrich, to be sure, sang of 'Unguarded Gates' . and the motley throng that passes them: "Men from the Volga and the Tartar steppes, Featureless figures of the Hoang-IIo, Malayan, Scythian, Teuton, Kelt or Slav, Flying the Old World's poverty und scorn, but we still like to think we can di gest the lump. And no one has phrased better than Crevecoeur the idealism of the true American. They say his book sent five hundred Nor man families to Ohio to perish there. At least, the American Farmer never represented his adopted country as that 'French Pays de Cocagne,' w here, by Franklin's account, the streets are paved with half-baked loaves. the houses tiled with pancakes, and fowls fly ready-roasted, crying, 'Come eat me!' Whatever the American may be, his is the chosen land of la bor; the land where hard work en- THE reputation of a medicine depends upon Its ability to cure and prevent sickness.

ANOTHER "LOST" ART. The late Wendell Phillips did not Include conversation as among the "loyj" jirts he discussed in his pop ular lecture. Since his time, how ever, many writers hnve been keen to note how we have fallen off In powers of speech. A Mr. Horatio S. Kr.ms has embodied all that Is really memorable on the subjert In a vol ume which he frankly entitles "The I o.-i Art of Conversation." It would seem, upon a moment's consideration, as being very extraor dinary. Indeed, that an age so wise as ours, with so many persons of In creasing intelligence, with a voca bulary enlarged to an extent beyond the dreams of the great lexicograph er who created Rasselas. should yet be nimble to talk with skill. We do not believe this Is so. Whnt has happened in the evolution of social converse is quite (dear and all for the good of a patient race. Who would tolerate the Socratic dialogues today? Who would care to list.-n to the dogmatic utterances o" De Quinoey of Coleridge. of Dr. Johnson? These men never advanc ed or even Illustrated the art of con versation. However great they miiv have been, and however weighty the things they said. they, yet, did not converse. It was dictatorial mono logue with one and all of them, and as opposed to that the monotonous Ipse dixlts of si Maeaulay there Is much to be said In favor of plain and simple chit-chat or gossip. That art Is not lost. It Is the froth of speech, perhaps, but it has its value at least, it doesn't bore you. Philadelphia Press. A fiENTINK SURPRISE.
