THE FA IK AM) KOrXD-l'P.
In its last issue the Pilot Rock
Record had some remarks regarding
"signs of desuetude" at the annual
fair and also a criticism of the
references to the fair were timely.
While the fair just closed was very
successful it must be admitted that
sufficient interest in the same was
not taken by the horticulturists, the
livestock raisers and the farmers of
this county. The success of the fair
demands that a greater interest be j
aroused on the part of such people. '
Surely that interest can be aroused
if only the proper work is done.
The Record suggests that the
Round-up and fair be held at differ-
ent times. That suggestion the East '
Oregonian has aLo made. This pa
per would like to see the Round-up :
lield In the spring. Yet there are
veil Informed men who say It would
lie impracticable to hold the show in
the spring. They say the fall is the
logical time for the Round-up and
point to the fact that when the fair
up n whQ beljeve , c)f.an nn,, pr0.
time the Round-up visitors mav at- ! .
i gressive politics,
tend the fair in the evening and there- J
by find proper entertainment. Death is no respector of persons
The question as to whether the two . ana claims his victims from among
events should be pulled off simultan- tne young and the old. It Is particu
eously or separately is one that must j iily s;u though when the Grim
be worked out by the people who are Reaper comes suddenly like he did to
In charge after a full and careful
consideration of the subject. The
welfare of the town demands, however,
that the fair directors and the Round
up management work in harmony. If
the two events are to be held simul
taneously then programs should be
arranged accordingly. The big after
noon programs for the fair could be
scheduled for the days when the
Round-up is not on.
The Record's criticism of the
Round-up it would be a waste of time
t- answer. The splendid success of
the Round-up and the general ap
proval with which the show was re
garded by all who saw it is vindication
enough. The Pilot Rock paper ob
jects because the show was rough and
dangerous. But the Round-up was
not unduly dangerous. Besides it Is
rot a parlor show., It Is the Carnival
of the Strenuous Life.
POLITICAL KYOLCTIOX.
In an able editorial upon the sub
ject of "The law of evolution in poli
tics" the Denver Times had the fol
lowing: "And we are no means certain that
one day, the larger part of Colonel
Roosevelt's dream will not be real
Led. The" country is changing more
swiftly than we have time to note.
Eighty years ago we wore a religious
people. The Bible was the literature
of every schoolboy. In the civil war
the men of the North, like very Iron
sides, sang the Battle Hymn of the
Kepubllc; with its terrific refrain of
rn implacable, Divine Justice. In the
war with spain our" soldiers " sang
There'll Be a. Hot Time in the Old
Town Tonight;" and if they prayed
the chronicles observed not their de
votions. During the last 60 years
tr illions of men and women have come
here, and have been made citizens to
whom tbe Idea of a centralized gov-1
eminent is a natural inheritance, how
ever much they may have resented
the tyrannies of the governments they
fled from. The Initiative, the refer
endum, and all those other attractive
Implements of legislative machinery,
are. in a most intricate way, Import
ations from the Old World, the source
of which, their advocates here, have
never known, or have forgotten. In
stead of giving larger powers to our
state legislatures, the tendency is to
withdraw power from the legislatures
and place it in the hands of the peo
ple. And. the more rapidly we de
crease the authority and responsibil
ity of our state legislatures, the more
rapidly are we dooming those legisla
tures to extinction, and paving the
way for the Xew Nationalism and
some form of. centralized government,
lor, the lesson of evolmton which
silence is watching so closely, has not
yet entered into the philosophy of pol
itics; and our statesmen have no't
commenced to ask of any projected
f'rm: "Put, after this, what next?"
We are all moving blindly, the play
thing of our environment, and the
streams of evolution carry us to' the
river, and the river sweeps us Into
the sea. It seems to be Inexorable
law.''
It may be in place to add here,
what the Times noglectPd to say,
that evolution will briiijr about a
change in the national government as
veil as in state governments. In time
we are going to have direct election
f United States senators. We will
also soon see the day when members
of the various political parties will
vote under the direct primary system
f"r delegates to national conventions.
The general tendency is to make our
government a true democracy. The
people must really rule or else the
United States will become an oligar
chy of wealth.

THE WAS1IEH WOMAN'S SOXG.
In a very humble cot.
In a rather quiet spot.
In the suds and in the soap, '
Worked a woman full of hope;
Working, singing, all alone,
la a sort of undertone;
"With the Savior for a friend,'
He will keep you to the end."
Sometimes happening along,
I had heard the semisong,
And I often used to smile.
More In sympathy than guile;
Hut I never said a word
In regard to what I heard,
As she sang about her friend
Who would keep her to the end.
Not in sorrow, nor in glee.
Working all day long was she,
As her children, three or four.
Played around her on the floor;
But In monotones the song
She was humming all day long;
"With the Savior for a friend,
He will keep me to the end."
It's a song I do not sing.
For I scarce believe a thing
Of the stories that are told
Of the miracles of old;
Rut I know thather belief
Is the anodyne of grief.
And will always be a friend
That will keep her to the end.
4
Just a trifle lonesome she,
Just as poor as she could be;
But her spirits always rose,
Like the bubbles in her clothes,
And, though widowed and alone.
Cheered her with the monotone.
Of a Savior and a friend
Who would keep me to the end.
I have seen her rub and scrub.
On the washboard in the tub.
While the baby sopped in suds.
Rolled and tumbled in the duds,
Or was paddling in the pools.
With old scissors stuck in spools;
She still humming of her friend
Who would keep her to the end.
j
Human hopes and human creeds
Have their root in human needs;
And I should not wish to strip
From that washerwoman's lip
Any song that she can sing.
Any hope, that song can bring;
For the woman has a friend
Who will keep her to the end.
Eugene Ware.

A PRAYER.
My dear and only wife, I pray,
That you will straight forbear
To purchase ties in colors gay.
I hat I perforce must wear.
Your charming taste I'll not deny
Denial were in vain
But when you give to me a tie
You also give me pain.
, i
You mean well. I am pleased to think,
But all the same it's true
Your choice is usually pink,
Unless it's baby blue.
t
t
Sometimes, of course, you'll get a
check,
And sometimes it's a plaid.
But, though I try to grin, by Heck!
They make me hopping mad.
I'll let you buy my daily bread,
I'll let you buy my steak,
Tut, Sweetest Angel, on the dead,
Your neckwear makes me ache,
i
t
So grant this one request, my dear,
List while I make my moan:
Go buy your own blamed woman
gear.
And let mj- ties alone.
Kenneth Harris.
TALKED ESPFKAXTO.
When Mr. Smith your intimate
friend Smith awoke the other morn
ing he was greeted by his wife with
this:
"My sweet boy, do you know you
came home last night and that you
talked in your sleep?"
"Great Scott! No; did I?" said
Smith,' badly agitated. "What did I
say? Tell me."
"I Just couldn't make it all out, but
it sounded like ante-up Jack-pot
stake."
"Oh, yes. yes. my dear. I was re
citing a little Esperanto that a friend
was teaching me. I intended to tell
it to you when . I came home. It
means 'How Is my darling girl to
night?" Philadelphia Times.
BEWARE OF TIIE DOG.
A family moved from the city to
a suburban locality and were told
that they should get a watchedog to
guard the premises at night. So they
bought the largest dog that was for
sale in the kennels of a neighboring
dog fancier, who was a German.
Shortly afterward the house was en
tered by burglars, who made a good
haul, while the big dog slept. The
man went to the dog fancier and told
him about it.
"Veil, vat you need now," said the
dog merchant, "is a leedle dog to
vake up the big dog." Everybody's

THE "WILD WEST REVIVED.
(Weston Leader.)
The romance and glamor of the
"Wild West" have not departed with
the advance of civilization. The mind
loves to linger upon traditions of the
days when countless buffalo roamed
the plains; when the savage warrior
rode forth upon the trail in the full
panoply of his tribe; when the brave
frontiersman battled with the wilder
ness, and the early cowboy reached
the zenith of his glory.
We are fortunate now. We have
lost the hardship of the past, while
retaining much that is bizarre and
picturesque. We may sit comfort
ably In a grand stand and watch the
new west turn back the pages of Its
history and present to us such phas
es as may well quicken the heart and
thrill the blood. We are In no dan
ger of los'ng our scalps when a band
of painted and bonneted Indians dash
out upon the arena. We will not be
burned at the stake when they cele
brate their war dance. We will not
be dared to a duel to the death when
the hardy cowboys ride yelling forth.
They have come to "bust broncos" for
the edification of us, the tenderfeet.
and have left their shooting-irons at
home. Each looks fully capable of
bagging two men for breakfast before
h's appetite is nssauged but this mere
ly adds to the realism of the spec
tacle. Xobody is in any danger ex
cept the performers themselves nnd
occasionally one of them Is carried
off on a stretcher, for accidents will
happen at the best regulated round
ups. It all beats a circus, or a fair, or a
race meet, or a drama, and will hold
a crowd for four solid hours as pre
sented at Pendleton, wnere event fol
lowed event in bewildering novelty.
There was nothing tiresome, nothing
tame. The feat of Buffalo Vernon,
who threw a wildly running steer with
his arms, and held it with h's teeth,
was daring and unusual yet it was
merely one feature of a festival of
thrills. N'ever was such a remark
able and noteworthy entertainment
presented before in all the history of
the Inland empire.
Pendleton feels proud of its
achievement and well t may. It rose
superior to every obstacle, chief of
which was the lack of proper grounds
and gave its visitors all it advertised
and more. Xn less an authority than
the great Buffalo Vernon himself
says that Pendleton had Cheyenne
beaten. No visitor who attended
Pendleton's Roundup came away dis
satisfied. This in itself is a distinc

tion, for there never was a celebra
tion or fair within the writer's ken
which escaped some criticism. The
usual system of getting as big a crowd
as possible, extracting as many dol
lars as possible, and giving it as little
entertainment as possible In return,
was pleasantly missing here. It is
true that Pendleton got the crowd
the lnrgest that ever gathefed be
tween the Umatilla hills and It's al
so true that the Round-up was a fi
nancial success. But the crowd re
ceived much more than It paid for
and will come again with "its sis
ters and Its cousins, and its aunts."
Xext year Pendleton will have
much bigger grounds for its Roundup
and promises a better show but will
have to "go some" to surpass Its Ini
tial success. Next year people will
come from across the continent, per
haps from across the pond, to see this
spectacular event. It will likely make
Pendleton famous as has the Passion
Play made Oberammergau famous.
And It has done something locally of
value. It has revived the old-time
"Pendleton sijlrit" which has shown
signs of dissolution.

MISSFD THEM WELL.
There are always two ways of tell
ing the truth. The man who told the
king that he would outlive all his
subjects was a true courtier and un
derstood human nature far more than
the man who was put to death for
declaring to the same monarch that
nil his subjects would die before him.
The gamekeeper in Francis Pigon's
"Odds and Ends" also had the gift of
presenting the pleasanter side of a
fact.
A certain noble lord was a very bad
shut. one day after a particularly
disr-ourag'ng exhibition of his bung
ling he said to the keeper:
".Vow. my man, tell me the truth.
Did you ev,'r see any one who shot
as badly as I do?"
"Oh, yes, my lord," returned the
keeper. "I've seen worse shots than
your lordship. Your lordship missi s
the birds so clean." Youth's Com
panion. Cousin Bob So Arthur proposed
last night?
Maud Yes.
Cousin 13olj And did you accept
him?
Maud I was so awfully excited I
don't know whether I accepted him
or not. If he comes tonight I did,
and If he doesn't I didn't. Quimy
