O. Henry. THE XEAV YORK SEXATORSHIP. It is interesting to note some fea 'tures of the Xew York senatorial el ection. The people of New York do cot elect the senators as do the peo ple of Oregon and as do the people of most western states these days. It seems up to Boss JIurphy of Tam many Hall to pick out a man. Just whom he will select is not yet known, buit it will not be Edward M. Shep ard. Shepard is a good and able man and is therefore ineligible. Shepard has been warmly endors ed for the senators-hip by Mayor Gay- nor and by other reform deinociats of New York, in a letter published a few days ago Gaynor declared that for a generation New York has been represented in the senate by "mere lobbyists from the north or by cor-ruptioni-sts in politics." He wants a change but plainly doubts that it will be forthcoming. Speaking for Tammany Hall, Eoss Murphy announced that the organi zation Is against Shepard. Therefore he is againt him. So it appears that Shepard has little show of election and that the democratic party of New York will throw away its opportunity of placing a big man in the senate. It is natural it should do so for while New York is boss ruled strong sena tors are not wanted. Unless perhaps it be some man like Root who is predisposed to favor the Interests. But if New York had direct elec tion of senators as has Oregon the people might be able to send some good men to Washington. They fre quently elect a good man as mayor or a governor. Witness the cases of Gaynor and of Hughes. But then New York will likely be the last state In the union to adopt direct election of senators. New York la the seat of big business Interests that do not favor having public officials subserv ient only to the people. M....I: T"S COURSE STRONG. The East Oreironlan Is Interested in the selection of a teacher to have charge of the agricultural course at the Pendleton high school. This pa per hopes the board has chosen the right man for the place. That a good m.-vn has been elected Is indicated by the fact that Mr. Breithaupt comes recommended by President Kerr of O. A. C. Umatilla county is above everything else an agricultural empire. We do some manufacturing here bufVe rely mainly upon the soil. Our wealth comes chiefly from wheat raising, from horticulture and from our live stock Industry. Most of the young men of this county engage in these ceilings after they are through school So it Is but right that their work in the high school should be such as to fit them In as far as possible for the work they are to do later. The the ory Is now discarded that schools should seek only to impart culture to students. That theory Is a relic of the age when schools were intended only for the leisure class the upper crust. The theory of the new school o! educators is that an education should fit a young man for his es sential duty in the world which Is to work. It is recognized that useful subjects develop the brain just as much as do subjects that are no long er of use. True culture may be de rived from the study of useful sub jects just as well as from a study of the dead languages. If one only knows it there Is more science involv ed in the study of soils and plant life than in questions relating to the so lar system. SPEAKER RUSK. Of the eastern Oregon men In the legislature .the most interesting fig ure this year is John P. Rusk, speak er of the house. Rusk is a big fellow with an attractive personality and he is aggressive. In politics he is a pro gressive republican. He was reelected as joint representative from Union and Wallowa counties over Dr. Hock ett, who hadthe assembly endorse ment. In the race for speaker he re lied mainly upon his anti-assembly record and on the fact that he was a statement man. His chief support came from the anti-assembly forces in the legislature. Thus far Rusk has followed a very fair and straightforward course as speaker and the Indications are that he will "make good." He has a splen did opportunity and If he measures up to it there will be further and higher honors for him. Eastern Ore gon has need of men of his type. So has the entire state. Oregon Is throw. ing the old time machine politicians out of doors and Is backing upon the men of the new school. Of these one of the most distinguished at present is Speaker Jerry Rusk. Certainly Governor West and State Treasurer Kay are showing prudence in buying at this time all the land that will be needed by the branch in sane hospital. It seems that some land that is necessary to the site was overlooked by the former board. It can be purchased cheaper now than at some time in the future. While all the rest of the west Is suffering from blizzards all Umatilla county can do is to boast of merely enough snow to cover the ground. All the bad weather we have had thus far has been in the weather fore caster's eye. Members of the legislature should always be?r in mind that they are no l'-nger the whole show. The people may now revise the work of the leg islature and also initiate bills when they see fit to do so. The news of the fight down on the Rio G ramie is the first Mexican war news in some time. But from the re port it seems that the revolutionists are still in the Job. Pendleton people can well afford to do their part towards aiding the branch asylum. Besides we need a ravity water system anyway. Governor West should bring that span of mules an enter them In the Roundup. Maybe we could get better forecasts if we had a weather station In Pen dleton. DIDN'T LIKE IT, Caruso told M. A. P., the noted Irish writer, an amusing story of hlmrelf the other day. A man had called n him to sell him a phonograph. It was some years ago, when phono graphs were novelties, and in those days Caruso used to play a flute. "Test the instrument." said the salesman. "Play Into It and you will see what a wonderful things It Is." Caruso stepped up to It and played something on his flute. Then the pho nograph reproduced Caruso's flute playing. Caruso stared at him. "Is that what I did?" he asked. "Yes, Fir." "The, piece I played exactly as I played it?" "Exactly, sir. Isn't it wonderful? You'll buy the phonograph?". "No." said Caruso, shuddering; "but I'll sell you the flute." SUT.E OF HIMSELF. "I'll give you a position as clerk to start with." said the merchant, "and pay you what you are worth. Is that satisfactory?" "Oh, perfectly," replied the college graduate, "but cr do you think the firm ran afford it?" Catholic Stand ard and Times. A sa captain and his mate went ashore on getting into port and made for the nearest restaurant. They or dered soup. WhYn it arrived, the cap tain examined the curious looking fluid and shouted: "Here, waiter, what d'ye call this?" "Koup, sir," replied the waiter. "Soup," said the captain, turning to the mate; "blame me, Bill, if you and me ain't been sailln' on soup all our lives and never knowed It." Every Woman's Magazine. RELIABLE DEFENDERS OF OUR COUNTRY Ifluanintead unilvr Ui Food and bruit ' of Jiui, auth, U. K. Bucklon Co. ALCOHOL I Ft CENT. 1 iKOnus rcunrocnioaoroM 2 rm fxriD owe VOI R OWN ANCESTOR. "My child, in the day of resurrec tion they will ask you what you have done in the world, and not from whom you are descended," runs an old Persian proverb. And that's just it. We must am ount to something on our own account if we receive the rewards of merit. There are a lot of us who are ex ceedingly proud of our ancestry. We either trace it back through cen turies of proud record in the old world, or to descent from some of the hardy first settlers In this. But what does it benefit us if our ances tors came over in the Maylower, if they were among the early Dutch of New Amsterdam, the English cav aliers of Virginia and other south ern states, the early makers of Penn sylvania and New Jersey, if we do not do something on our own account, if we do not make our own personal standing of real worth? It is a fine thing to have the blood of the interepld adventurers for that was just what most of those early comers were coursing through our veins, it is a fine thing to know that the blood bounding through our ar teries is mixed with that of men and women who did the heroic thing In colonization, of men who fought and bleld in the great war for independ ence, and of those later heroes who placed their lives In sacrifice in the great internecine strife of 50 years ago, but it is a far greater thing to be creating both a character and a rep utation to which others coming after us will be able to point with pride. It is great to do the ordinary things of life well in the ordinary environ ment. The parable of Uie vineyard tells us the rewards for just such labor. If you remember, not a single per son arann; the laborers was asked to do the extraordinary thinir. but he was expected to do the ordinary things in the right way and to t'.ie best of his ability, so that the stew ard, when the Lord and Master of the harvest should come for his ac counting would be able to give a sat isfactory report. Therefore, not a worker In the vineyard could fall back for justifi cation on the record of one of his fellows or on that of some forebear who had labored there. There was only one record that coulj be con sidered his own. Now every one of us is in the ex act position of the men in the vine yard of the parable. We must stand absolutely alone in the matter of achievement, and the only real en couragement and reward we shall ever receive will be in the knowl edge of having done our best. No man or woman who acts in that light has reason to fear the powers of this world or the powers of death, because in the spirit in which their work Is done they not only rise superior but immortal. All the world today is the cumu lative result of the work of earnest men and women of past generations. That's the story of civilization In a nutshell. Selected. SLOW ENOUGH. Old Bill Titcomb had taken a sack of grain to an old fashioned mill to have it ground into meal. He Watch ed the ponderous wheels revolving slowly while a tiny stream of meal trickled feebly out. finally his pa tience become exhausted. "Do yer know," he said, "I cud eat that there meal faster tnan yer durn ed mill can grind it!" "Yes?" remarked the miller. "But how long could you keep on eating It, Mr. Titcomb " "Wal," replied Old Bill, conclusive ly, "I reckon I cud keep on at that rate till I starved." Metropolitan Magazine.

Sarah Bernhardt, replying to a com pliment on her youthful appearance, said: "The secret of my youth? It is the good God and then, you know, I work all the time. But I am a great grandmother," she contfnued, thought fully, "so how can these many com pliments be true? I am afraid my friends are exaggerating." Mme. Bernhardt's laugh, spontan eous as a girl's, promptd a chorus ot "No, no!" "Yes," said he actress, "uncon conscious exaggeration, like the French nurse on the boulevard. Our boulevards are much more crowded than your streets, you know, and, al though we have numerous accidents, things aren't quite as bad as the nurse suggested.

"No; hurry,' his nurse answered. 'There will be plenty to see further on.' " A DIFFERENCE.

Hemphill, former ly editor of the Charleston News and Courier, but now editor of the Rich mond Times-Democrat. A democratic guest at the Taft luncheon, sitting next to the major, became enthusi astic about the president. ' "Taft Is simply a bully fellow," de clared the guest. "He is the kind of a man you love." "You bet he Is," remarked the major. "But, by the way, are you going to vote for him next time?" "Vote for him!
