IONT OVERRATE IT.
Trying to calm the ruffled spirits
of the Baker people and to console
them for their failure to land the
branch asylum the Oregonian says
Bakerites need not sit in sack cloth
and ashes. The branch asylum will
not be as great a boon aa people sup
pose. The getting of the asylum
would not have made Baker nor will
their failure to land the institution
cause that town to go into bank
ruptcy. There is truth in this and it is truth
that has even a better application t-
Pendleton than at Baker. If there
are local people who imagine Pen
dleton's future is now secure, simply
because a state institution will be lo
cated here, they should get over that
Impression at once. If too many
people get such an Idea as that Into
their heads then the branch asylum
will prove a curse and not a blessing.
The branch asylum will be a good
thing for Pendleton, It is true. But
It will not make a vast difference in
local business for the simple reason
that practically all the supplies for
the institution will be purchased
wholesale, not locally. In the view of
the East Oregonian the chief benefits
that we will derive from the branch
asylum will be in the nature of indi
rect benefit".
For instance the asylum will make
certain the early improvement of our
water Fystem. We are now in line
for a gravity water supply and that
will be a good thing whether the
branch asylum is a good thing or not.
Obtain for Pendleton nn abundant
supply of good mountain water and
tho benefits that will result from that
Improvement will be marvelous.'
Other Improvements too will follow
lc the wake of the building of the
branch aFylum. Necessarily there
wlil have to be good streets and roads
leatling to that Institution. Jackson
and Raley streets will have to be
paved or macadamized and a goo 3
macadamized 1!k "'y constructed
from the end of Haley street down
past the new institu i n. Eetterments
lu that s'-ction will ' n call for bet
terments In other ' ns of the city
and we will S"on better streets
than at present.
A business upli?: ' iue in Pendle
ton not merely h .f the branch
asylum but be au' of numerous
ether thlnps as v. This uplift Is
already making its ' f 't. During the
coming summer 1 get our new
federal building, v.. will probably
eri-ct a new high J building, be
cause one Is sorely i d -d, and there
vtll! be much doln in the way of
treet Improvement
But the branch ns ti n Itself la not
going to work any t -r it transforma
tion In Pendleton. We must have
many other thlnm .-.long with the
new Institution If we are going to
make a real city out of this prosperous
and bustling town.
NOT FROM tiRATITTDE.
There are many who think that in
Uonting the branch asylum in Pen
dleton Acting Governor Bowerman
acted out of gratitude for having
carried this county in the recent el
ection. This idea Is unjust to Mr.
Howerman. The facts show that
while he carried this county by a
margin of lit votes over Governor
elect West, Mr. Bowerinan did not
run as well here as in either Baker or
Union counties when his party's
strength is taken Into consideration.
In Umatilla county there is an en
ormous republican majority. As ex
pressed by the registration it is some
thing like 1500. In the November
election the republican candidate for
state school superintendent, though
an assembly nominee, carried this
county by 11 S3 votes. He carried
Baker county by only 430 votes and
Union county by 463 votes. In Ba
ker county West had a lead of 265
over Bowerman and therefore the
acting governor fell 695 votes behind
his ticket. In Union county West led
over Bowerman by 98 votes and
therefore Mr. Bowerman was 561
,utes behind his fellow candidates.
In this county Bowerman led West
by 117 votes yet he was still" 1066
votes behind the ticket. So It may
be seen that Mr. Bowerman owed
nothing to Umatilla county upon the
score of gratitude.
The proper explanation of Bower
man's action in favoring Pendleton
as a site for the branch asylum is
found in the fact that he honestly
'considered this the superior location
fcr the Institution. Pendleton was
the natural and logical place for the
branch asylum and Mr. Bowerman
is entitled to credit for having acted
with a view to the public, welfare
when he located it here. If politics
figure in the selection of the asylum
site such considerations were not al-
hewed to interfere with the best ln-
iterests of the state.
THE SPOKANE ELECTION.
In Spokane the advocates of the
'commission form of government have
won out and it was a fine victory.
The commission plan was bitterly op
posed by most of the present city of
ficials, for reasons that are apparent.
It was also fought by the liquor in
terests because the commission plan
fixes authority and responsibility for
the enforcement of the laws controll-
ine saloons. Other vested interests
also foueht the improvement. Yet
there was such an overwhelming sen
timent for the new charter that it
won out despite the fight that was
made against it. Much of the credit
for the victory belongs to the Spokes
man-Review which Journal usually
upholds the best interests of Spokane
and in this case did so by fighting
earnestly for the commission plan.
Considerable credit for the adoption
of the commission plan may also be
given the women of Spokane for they
generally favored the reform. How
ever many women did not go to the
polls.
The branch asylum site has been
chosen and the question of the hour
now is "Where is the Round-up to
he held?" If you are a stockholder
in the Round-up be out tonight and
help settle this question. Settle it
right and then get In and boost. After
a site has been selected that site will
then be the choice of all.
If some of our statesmen and edl
tors who oppose the betterment oi
the navy were now In the Philippines
they might reverse their views.
Mrs. Warner seems to have won out
at last.
Only one more day.
MOTHER LOVE.
The late William James, Harvard's
famous psychologist, would often 11
luminate a misty subject with an ap
propriate anecdote, says the Washing
ton Star.
Discussing motherhood In a lecture
on psychology, Professor James once
said:
"A teacher asked a boy this ques
tion In fractions:
" 'Suppose that your mother baked
an applp pie and there were seven of
you the parents and five children.
What part of the pie would you get
for your portion?
" 'A sixth, ma'am,' the boy answer
ed.
" 'But there are seven of you,' said
the teacher. 'Don t you know any
thing about fractions?'
" '1'es, ma'am," said the boy, "I
kn'iw all about fractions, but I know
all about mother, too, Mother'd say
she didn't want no pie.' "
The Canadian Pacific Railway
promises to establish next spring a
monthly line of steamers between
Montreal and South America and an
other weely line to the West Indies.
Halifax and St. John, New Brunswick,
will be the winter ports for the ser
vice. Ordinary steamers will be re
quired for the South American ser-
vice, but owing to peculiar conditions
specially constructed steamers will be
necessary on the West India line.
PHRASES THAT MEAN MUCH.

ruption cf nn ancient form, "Miul as
a haf.er, or adder." Mad In this case

sorve a live herring It is a fish that

native element. Among fishermen
first arose the expression, "Dead as a
herring"
When wo sry a person is "Not worth
his salt," we are using one of the
oldest phrases in the English lan
guage. The expression hns cmo
down through the centuries from Ro
man days, says Scrnp Book.
The origin of the phrase Is tho same
as that of our word salary, both hav
ing come from tho Latin salarium, or
salt money.
The phrase, "He's a brick," origin
ated from an eastern ruler, who. while
visiting a neghborlng principality,
asked his host to show him his for
tifications. Waving his hand toward his troops
which were drawn up In soldiery ar
ray, the prince said to his guest:
These are my fortifications; every
man Is a brick."
The word "scot-free" Is a survival
from ancient Anglo-Saxon. Scot in
this sense comes from the old Eng
lish word "scoot," meaning a portion
of tribute or taxation, and It is still In
use In the Scandinavian languages to
signify treasure. In modern English,
however, it occurs In only two ex
pressions, the legal phrase, "To pay
scot and lot," and the ordinary word,
scot-free."
An official of the Smithsonian in
stitution was speaking of the origin
of some well-known phrases, and
pointe to a small mounted bird. This
bird was a French gray on the back.
drab breast, black wings, and with a j
small but conspicuous white spot at j
the base of the tail. j
"That is a wheatear," the official 1
said. "It Is very common In Scot
land, where It Is known as the
clacharan.' It is from this bird that
we get the expression, "showing the
white feather' Tou will notice the
location of the only white feather on
Its body they can be seen only when
the bird is flying away from you."
The phrase, "When you are In
Rome, do as the Romans do," Is
traced to a saying of St. Ambrose. He
was once consulted by a woman who
asked him whether or not it was right
to feast on Saturday in Milan, since
in Home the day was held as a fast
day. and as such, strictly observed.
The saint could do no better than
to c-ive her the advice which he fol
lowed himself; "for," he said, "when
I go to Rome, I fast on Saturday as
they do in Rome, but when I am here
I do not fast.'" The good saint might
have Justified himself with St. Paul's
decision on a similar point. Brook

DINKY REASONS.
(Ohio State Journal.)
It is well, when a man makes tip
his mind on any matter, to inquire a
second time, to see if some of his rea
sons are not dinky reasons; that is, lit
tle, trifling, temperamental reasons
that are quite apart from the deep
and lasting truth involved in the sub
ject.
We often judge events and propo
sitions from the standpoint of con
venience, prejudice, mere taste or per
sonal association. That practice is
fatal to the truth. A man will make
vp his mind on the most trival cir
cumstance and direct his whole lite
by it. No wonder there is so much
disappointment and complaining; no
wonder so much gloom and pessim
ism. Every man. If he looks out, will
find great headlands of truth to steer
his craft by. There he should dis
cover that he may be directed aright.
They are always there If he looks.
They are the compass and the North
Star, which if one does not find, he
will be aptto stray Into the Jungle
and de?ert and be lost.
The point is a practical one what
ever opinion a man may have on any
subject, let him feel that he is in
honor bound to see that the founda
tions of that belief are deep laid and
firm. A man's faith is rerarded of
too little consequence, and that is the
reason why much of it is so poor.

PIDXT SEE SNAKES.
In the ohW days of the medical
profession, when trained nurses were
not, as they are today, equal to any
emergency which arises In the sick
room, a man too much addicted to
liquor was taken to a hospital suf
fering from an aggravating case of de
lirium tremens. He was placed In
charge of a physician who prescribed
the usual remedies.
"Now, nurse," said the physician
as he left her in charge, "if the pa
tient sees snakes again give him a
dose of this medicine. I shall be In
again at 6 o'clock.
The hour for his return arrived.
The physician once more visited the
sick patient and found him raving.
He had been so, said the nurse, for
hours.
"And did you give him the medi
cine'." Inquired tho puzled doctor.
The nurse shook her head.
"But didn't I tell you to give it to
him if he saw snakes again" de
manded the physician.
"But he didn't say he saw snakes
this time, doctor," replied the nurse
confidently "He said he saw red.
