THE CHRISTMAS TREE.
The north wind came one au
tumn day,
To paint the trees with colors
gay.
He brushed the maple leaves so
bright
With timings of the sunset light.
And on the oak's broad branch
es shone
Hues even to Persian looms un
known. He gave to wood and meadow
way
The brief, bright beauty of a
day.
His colors spent, he found, alas!
The little fir tree He must pass.
But as the north wind onward
went
This message to the firs he sent:
"When earth in snowflakes is
arrayed
The beauty of the trees shall
fade.
"But you shall burst to sudtfen
bloom
And all Vhe winter world illume.
"With gifts of love your boughs
shall shine
A fadeless beauty shall be
thine."
And thus it is when snowflakes
fall.
The Christmas tree Is queen of
all.
Alice Jean Cleator.
dry are taking the same course. Peo
ple " everywhere are determined that
the saloonmen shall not regain their
old time) power In business and In
political circles.
In the large cities also the big stick
of moral reform Is being waved above
the heads of the saloonkeepers and
the people who represent them. In
Spokane the saloon question is the
principal thing at issue In the com
ir.g charter election. The commission
plan of government is proposed for
Spokane and If it is adopted the re
sponsibility for the control of the sa
loons will be definitely fixed upon
certain officials and they will have
to make the saloons be good. In
Tacoma and other cities that have
adopted the commission form of gov
ernment the saloons have little say in
affairs.
In Seattle Just now the mayor is
facing a recall election and the chief
of police is fighting for his official
life because those men have been with
the "open town" element. . In Port
land also the chief of police Is In
trouble upon the same score.
All of these things merely prove
that people will not permanently en
dure conditions that are wrong. They
wont stand for graft and they wont
stand for a saloon system that breeds
intemperance and misery and fosters
crime. At least healthy minded peo
ple wont.
It Is all off with' the grafter, the
dive and the divekeeper.
A WEAKLINGS PLEA.
Over at Ritzville, Washington, a
man is on trial for having murdered
a young woman and the defense is
arguing that he should be excused be
cause prenatal Influences were re
sponsible for his crime. Quite likely
the plea has some foundation. No
murder Is ever committed without be
ing prompted by some influence often
beyond the control of the murderer.
But people should learn to control
themselves despite such Influences.
Ir might help others to overcome pre
natal influences if the Ritzville jury
would order Holland hung.

"The mills of the gods grind slow
ly" but they grind sure as well as
small. For years the people of the
United States have been wanting di
rect election of senators; for years
many of the best informed men have
ueen advocating a tariff commission.
But both of these great reforms have
been delayed by the standpatters.
Now we. seem in line to secure both.
Before the senate there is a resolution
calling for a constitutional amend
ment providing for direct election of
senators. There Is a good opportunity
for the measure to pass, strange as
this may seem. If the resolution is
adopted by the senate then the long
fight for direct election of senators
will be completely won. Until now
the senate has been the great stumbl
ing block. But if the resolution is
not adopted now it will be adopted
later because in time the majority of
senators will be men who have been
elected by popular vote under the
Oregon system or some modification
o' that system. Puch senators favor
direct elections.
A victory Is also in sight for the
tariff commission plan. Men who for
merly opposed the plan are now
openly for It. Prsid-nt Taft Is for a
commission and is using his influ
ence towards secdring a commission.
Senator Lodge, dyen-ln-the-wool pro
tectionists, has also joined the rank
of commission advocates and lastly
of all cornea Senator Aldrlch with a
promise that the finance committee
will report a bill providing for the
establishment of a tariff commission.
This means that the tariff commis
sion advocates are making progress.
It docs not mean that the fight Is
won the victory is only In sight The
m sort of tariff commission Aldrich and
Lodge would devise would probably
not please true progressive like
Cummins. Aldrich and Lodge will
favor a commission that would have
little power while the progressives
would like to s-e a commission that
could really accomplish something.
But the very fait that the standpat
ters are changing front upon the
question of :i tariff coinispion and up
on the su'fj'-rt f th illrnct election
of senator s':owx that th" p"p!e are
bavins th ir way and ultimately will
have their way completely.
The whffls turn glowly but surely.
It Is almost Christmas but the
weather man persists in ordering clear
skies and sunshine. Xot much show
for a "White Christmas',in Pendleton
this year.
So Senator Lorimer looks alright
to the senate committee that Investi
gated his case. This makes it look
rather bad for the senate committee.

The Title children of the poor before
the window stand;
Life's p;iths at last have led them to
see the Promised Land;
There's light and life and glory where
all the windows glow.
They wonder, too, why Santa Claus
forgets poor children so.
Each toy in the windows
Seems like a sparkling gem,
But the little children of the poor
They were not meant for them.
Yet, sweet it 1s to view them, ana
some may take their cause;
Some pitying angel passing may whis
per Santa Claus;
May whisper, as through crowded
streets the poor, sad children
go.
And Santa he'll be sorry he forgets
the children so.
For, the toys In the windows
Each seem a sparkling gem,
But the little children of the poor
They were not meant for them.

THE SIIKAGES.
Across the painted desert,
Toward the burning skies.
From plains of phantom verduie
Their purple peaks arise.
The mist along their summits
A scarf of silver trails,
I'r.-m cliff to cliff the water
Fung down their foamy veils.
From Arizona's furnace
Of arid sands and stones,
And dusty cactus gardens
Strewn thick with bleaching bones,
The traveler at sunrise
Beholds their ramparts gay,
And seeks their cooling una lows
To see them fade away.
Ghost mountains of the masa-,
No living foot can climb
Ihtlr canyons bright with bl 1330ms
Or ledges dark with thyme. "
For there the desert victim,

Who die of thirst and hunger.
Alone may find rep ise.
