INDIAN SrMMER. ,
Weather always suits me when
valley, hill and stream
Are like the peaceful pictures
you are seeing in a
dream.
When the tired world seems
restin' when the quiet Is
so deep
You hear the light a-breaking
where the day has gone
to sleep.
It's the quiet that we're needing
who have toiled the sum
mer long
Till we heard the reapers sing
ing where the harvest
makes the song,
It's then the kindly heaven on
the old world seems to
smile.
Soft-whispering in the sun
light and the shadows,
"Rest a while!"
Indian Summer suits me soft
night and dreamy day.
And I could just keep dreaming
till I dream my soul away
From the world's rude noise and
riot, in the daisies and
the dew,
To the everlasting quiet where
the sweetest dreams come
true!
Frank L. Stanton in Atlanta

THE PRIMARY ELECTION.
That there is strong anti-assembly
sentiment throughout the state and
that the progressive element is domi
nant In the republican party and ap-'
patently in the democratic is shown
t the result of the primary election
Saturday.
It is true the republicans have nam
ed an assembly man for governor.
Yet in view of the divided field against
him and of other considerations that
result is not surprising. But the gov
ernorship is almost the sole crumb of
comfort for the assemblyites. Most
of the assembly state ticket has been
defeated, the legislature,' it seems cer
tain, wilf be anti-assembly, and there
will be a progressive congressman.
Should it prove true that Judge Ellis
la defeated his defeat should prove a
Ignal warning to the standpatters.
Judge Ellis is personally one of the
best known and most popular men In
the state and he had a divided field
against him. His defeat is due sole
ly to resentment over his affiliations
with the standpat element of his
party.
The nomination of Judge Henry J.
Bean was a splendid tribute to the
personal popularity of that jurist and
at the same time Is notice that the
people object to allowing corporations
to place their attorneys upon the su
preme bench. The same thing applies
to the nomination of Crawford for at
torney general over his assembly op
ponent. In Multnomah county where the
fight for legislative nominations was
clean cut a sweeping victory was won
ly the statement No. 1 forces.
The result there should serve to de
ter politicians from taking part In
future assemblies In Multnomah
ccunty at least.
In this county and this district the
assemblyites made a stronger show
ing than was anticipated. Perhaps
this was due in part to the light vote
Mid to the fact that the assembly men
were well organized while their op
ponents were not.
But regardless of what the final
results may be and of how pleasing
those results will be to different peo
ple the primary election is now a
tiling of the past. The republican and
democratic parties have named their
tickets for the November election and
from this time hence interest will be
centered In that event. It promises to
bo an election of much Interest.
DIRECT PRIMARY BEST.
There are people who criticise the
(system of making nominations under
the direct primary law. That there
U uncertainty about it, must be ad
mitted. Many people do not give suf
ficient attention to the subject and no
cannot Judge Intelligently between
candidates. . Then there are many
who do not turn out to vote and fre
quently the winning candidate is the
man who takes precautions to get his
men to the polls.
Yet despite its defects the direct
primary plan Is far and away super
ior to the old convention system.
There was uncertainty about the con
vention system also. Much uncer
tainty. It generally happened that a
nomination depended upon the whim
of a political boss or of several boss
es. They had to be "seen" before a
candidate had even a show for his
life. Under the old convention plan,
good and meritorious men were turn
ed down right along for men who
were more servile to the party ma
chines or for men who had money to
contribute to the campaign funds.
The records of the old conventions
are full of tales of jobbery and of
criminal misdeeds.
Those who see defects in the di
rect primary should bear in mind
that these defects are of minor im
portance compared with the graver
defects of the convention system
which the direct primary supplanted.
THE FAIU AN EDUCATOR.
One of the best things about the
Umatilla-Morrow fair, which is now
open, is that through visiting the fair
people may learn much regarding the
industries and the resources of this
agricultural district. The fair is an
educator and the Ipssons taught are
plain and striking. Within the big
pavilion at this time there may be
found products representing nearly all
lines of industrial activity followed
in Umatilla and Morrow counties. Tho
agricultural and horticultural displays
are always especially good.
Xow It is natural that exhibitors
bring their best products to the fair
and it Is also quite natural that they
feel proud of the showing they are
able to make. This enthusiasm they
communicate to others engaged In
similar pursuits and who see their
displays. As a result the fair pro
motes higher standards in horticul
ture, agriculture and other lines and
hy doing so it serves a most useful
end.
:
AID THE COMMITTEE.
If the crowd that flocks to Pendle
ton to see the Round-up is as large as
now seems probable it will require
careful and organized work to see
that all are accommodated. In this
connection it is gratifying to know
tVat such work Is being done and
that the entire city has been solicited
by the high school students under
Principal Hampton. Had special
rooms not been solicited for the oc
casion it is certain that many visitors
would have fared badly in the way of
living accommodations. Meanwhile
those who have rooms they will rent
during the fair and Round-up should
notify the committeemen at once so
that their rooms may be listed. It is
a time when all should help who
are able to do so. ,
The Oregon Journal band which is
now furnishing music for the district
ftir is a unique organization and cer.
tainly one of the best organizations
ot Its kind in the northwest. The
Journal band had the destlnction of
furnishing the music for Portland day
at the Seattle exposition last year and
the band has alsi filled many other
important appointments. It should
prove a good drawing card for the
present fair.
Some times politics becomes very
warm and elections are fiercly con
tested. But after all the world moves
along very serenely regardless of who
lb nominated or elected.
VOGUE OF AMETHYSTS
The most popular stone this season
among the less costly Jewels is the
amathyst This stone is much valued
for its lovely color, which is partic
ularly effective upon black and white,
gray, mole and beige.
The favorite Jewel In which the
amethyst appears is the long drop
earring .
This earring is at its best with a
fair sized stone, fitting against the
ear, from which falls a delicate sll
ver chain, with a smaller amethyst
as a drop at the end.
Silver Is a better metal to use with
amethyst than gold, as its cool, gray
Ish tone gives value to the lovely pur
pie of the stone.
YOUR BEST SLEEP.
The first sleep Is the soundest af
ter the first hour the Intensity of sleep
slowly diminishes. Temperatures and
vitality are lowest at about 2 o'clock
a m., so that two hours' sleep before
midnight are worth four thereafter.
Nature has no rule, as to the length
of sleep, except that men need less
than women since women are the
most sensitive and nervous creatures,
Sleep should be Just so long that
when you wake In the morning a
stretch and a yawn are only necessary
to land you in a daytime of bounding
vigor.
As to early rising It Is comforting
to hear a learned doctor say it Is a
habit that has gone far to wreck the
constitution of many a trowing youth
iso greater fortune can -befall a
child than to be borne Into a home
where the best books are read, the
best music Interpreted and the, best
talk enjoyed Hamilton Wright Ma-
bie.
HOW A CITY CREATES WEALTH.
. New Xork was laid out In blocks
that are very short north and south
and very long east and west. This
was wrong, because the main flow of
traffic is north and south. There
should have been as many streets
running in that direction as running
east and west. From Fifth avenue
to Sixth avenue Is more than eight
hundred feet. Mayor Gaynor suggests
that, to relieve traffic congestion, the
city might open a new thoroughfare
midway between those two avenues.
This would involve buying a solll
built strip of land in the heart of the
!c!ty, a hundred feet In width from
Fourteenth street to Fifty-ninth. A
great many costly structures ' would
have to come down. The cost is es
timated at thirty-five to fifty million
dollars. But it is estimated, also,
that the new street would enhance the
value of property between Fifth and
Sixth avenues even more than that.
If one man owned all the land and
costly buildings between the two ave
nues, he could make money by tearing
down the structures on the hundred
foot strip and dedicating the strip to
the city for a street. We mention
this as an interesting Illustration of
the amazing power of a city to create
wealth. If the proposed Improvement
were a park or fountain or new pave
ment, it might not be quite so obvi
ous that it would more than pay for
itself in dollars and cents; but in most
cases that would be the .fact. . It is
interesting, also, because It suggests
that the city might well claim a large
share of the wealth which It is con
stantly creating for individual lot
owners. Saturday Evening Post.
VOWS OF THE SETON INDIANS.
These are the vows of the Soton
Indians:
Xt to rebel.
Not to kindle a wild fire; nor to
leave a fire In camp without some
one to watch it.
To protect the songbirds; not to in
jure or frighten songbirds, nor to dis
turb thiir nest or eggs, nor to molest
squirrels.
Not tcr make a dirty camp, nor to
bring firearms of any kind into the
camps of those under fourteen, not
to point a weapon at any one.
To keep the gajne laws.
Not to smoke (for those under IS.)
Not to have firewater In camp.
To play fair.
To keep his word of honor sacred.
There are now scattered over the
country between a hundred and fifty
and two hundred thousand of these
Seton Indians. Although, of course.
only a few of these, from fairly near j
by can attend the national council at ;
Wyndygoul, their organizations are
strong and vigorous and are run on
the same general plan throughout the
country. These boys have opened to
them in clear and understanding
fashion the book of the woods anil
fields and the open sky. Put one of
the Seton Indians down at random In
any part of the world, and it would
be hard for him to be bored. They
early become learned in the art of
self-government, and are a radiating
force for the diffusion of the qualities
that make for manliness. They are
safe and sine Everybody's Maga
zine.
AN IMITATION.
The Connecticut delegation to a re
publican national convention at Chi
cago took along a lot of badges, each
nrnament"d with a wooden nutmeg.
The badges were very popular. The
delegates from other states thought
it a great joke to wear a genuine
Connecticut wooden nutmeg.
Presently the man who had charge
of the badges came to Senator Bran
degee and said:
"Senator, we're in a fix. All our
wooden nutmeg badges are gone and
there is still a great demand for them.
What can we do?"
"Get some more."
"But there are no wooden nutmegs
in Chicago. We had to have these es
pecially made for us back home."
"All right," directed the Napoleonic
Brandegec; "go down to a grocery
store and buy 400 or 500 real nut
megs and stick them on the badges.
They'll never know the difference."
And they didn't. 'Saturday Even

SCROFULA
HEREI
1TARY BLOOD P 015 OH
Scrofula is a disease manifested
usually by a swelling and ulceration
of the glands, especially about the
neck. It is almost entirely hereditary
in its origin, being the dregs or re
mains of some specific blood poison.
Where the blood is greatly weakened
with the scrofulous poison, the disease
attacks other portions of the system
besides the glands, and then we see it3
effects in weak eyes, poorly developed
bodies, running sores and ulcers, skia
diseases, especially on the scalp, ca
tarrhal troufles, etc. Scrofula usually
makes its appearance in childhood,
though manhood or womanhood may
be reached before the poison pro
gresses to the stage of outward mani
festation. S. S. S. is the one renl cure
for Scrofula. It is a blood purifier
without an equal, and it cures this
destructive blood poison by removing
every trace of the infection 'rom the
circulation. S. S. S., in addition to
cleansing and
purifying the
blood, assists the
Stomach nnd di
gestive members
in the erection r f
new blood cor
puscles aad oL;r
nourishing mat
ter for the circu
lation. S. S. S. increases the resistive
powers of the system and by strength
ening and building up the vitality,
allows nature to make a perfect and
lasting cure. Book describing the
disease and any medical advice sent
free to all who write.
