They are not dead; they never lived To whom there was no joy in strife. .Not cloistered walls nor dungeon bars Can dull the esctasy of life. To serve and gain, Or strive and fail, Is Life! Let nothing else suf- flee. A life of ease Is living-death; Twere better in the scheme of life To crowd your days with cease- less toil, What though you fail? Tours is the strife. To strive and gain, Or strive and fail, Is Life! Let nothing else suf- flee. .The dead still live who strove and fought; The passive ones knew naught of life. The lives that still go on and on Defied the stake, the rope, the knife! To strive and gain, Or strive and fail, Is Life! Let nothing else suf- fice. Augustus Wittfeld in Febru- ary Nautilus. COLONEL SUMMERS. ' General Owen Summers, command er of the Second Oregon regiment dur ing the Spanish war, is dead. His death recalls the time, now 12 years past, when the regiment went away and also its triumphant return a year later. Oregon was proud of the regi ment that went to the front from i this state and proud of the colonel ' who commanded the same. It was a ; good regiment and it was such largely "because ft was commanded by a brave -and capable soldier. The Second Ore gon was the first regiment to reach he Philippines and for over a year the command bore a conspicuous part . Id Ihe events that transpired there. '"Led "by Col. Summers the regiment was in many battles and skirmishes - with the insurrectos. The command came home with ranks a trifle thinned but with a fine record. In this day of peace and business activity few people think of wars. Al ready the Spanish war has been almost - forgotten and doubtless there are - many in this state who had lost all ' trace of Col. Summers. His death re calls memories of the day when his name was on almost every tongue a day when fighters were needed and Col. Summers was the "man of the hour" in Oregon. The people of this state may well bow In sorrow over the grave of General Summers and some day they should erect a monu ment or a statue In memory of the ' colonel of the Second Oregon U. S. - Volunteer Infantry. HE MAY "GET BACK." No doubt most politicians of the ' republican party will be glad that Barnes Is restored aa the leader in New York and that Roosevelt and his friends are down and out aa far aa party control is concerned. The "av erage politician" does not like the Roosevelt way of doing things. He is glad to see the colonel snubbed. The "average politician" 'wants to see Taft renominated and reelected. He be lieves that the control of the party In New York by Barnes will strengthen the Taft chances. But la it not possible that these same men will later on be sorry that Roosevelt is not in their midst? May he not be more dangerous on the out- aide than he would be were he with in the fold? Roosevelt is strong with the people of the United States and should he take a notion to do so he might raise "particular fits" about 'the time of the next presidential elec tion. Of course all looks well to the re svetionariea at this time. There are Indications that both parties will name - oonaerratlve for the presidency. The democrats will in all probability name a man from the Wllson-Hnrmon-CTay-nor group. Ho will be a conservative whoever he Is. So if Taft Is renomi nated by the republicans the country will be assured of a conservative ad ministration no matter who is chosen. The big business interests are play ing tho game heads we win and tales you lose." Put it is possible the thing may be overdone. There is no certainty that the 'progressives-' in the republican party are going to stand for Taft and Barnes. Nor is it a sure thing that the "progressive" democrats are going to sit by in silence and see their party used as certain interests now contem plate using it. In other words there may be a bolt from both parties. The "progressives" may decide it is time to cut loose and form a political party that really stands for something. If they do Col. Theodore Roosevelt could end doubtless would be a "high mo gul" in that party. He might not want to run for the presidency him self. It would be more reasonable to expect the "progressives" to pick La Foilette or some other senate "pro gressive." If it got off right the new party move would go like wild fire for the country is sick and tired of the sham of the present alignment. Roosevelt could lead a big element of the republican party right into the progressive camp. If he should do this who would the joke be on then? Would not some pol iticians be sorry they shut the colonel out in New Tork? ARE TUEY IX)R IT NOW? Senator Albee has taken a proper move in reviving the matter of pass ing a resolution endorsing the Oregon system. The Kellaher resolution was voted down because it was deemed too strong and was construed as an endorsement of Bourne. Albee pro poses a more temperate endorsement of the Oregon plan. If the members of the legislature are true to their election promises they will pass this resolution. A majority of both hous es are statement No. 1 men and at election time declared themselves against assemblyism. They profess ed then to uphold the direct primary and the initiative and referendum. If they favored those measures then they should favor them now. When the Albee resolution comes up for passage we will see how some men stand.. The world Is full of good people of whom no notice is taken. But one woman who Is accused of poisoning her millionaire husband has attracted the attention of the entire country. There are few who have not heard of Mrs. Schenk. Yet there Is nothing remarkable about her life. She is only a miserable woman who killed her husband. Why should she attract so much interest? Every time a fire occurs the Pen dleton fire department comes In for criticism. The need of better appa ratus and of some paid men is ex plained. Undoubtedly the department would be more effective with new equipment and with a couple of men always on duty. Yet the volunteer department does well. It usually ex tinguishes the fires. Just one year ago today the Re public was wrecked and the wireless was used for the first time to sum mon aid. It begins to look like Boss Murphy does not have a firm grip on all the democratic legislators in New York One thousand dollars more needed for the Roundup. WHERE QUILL PENS SURVIVE. Quill pens, as an official corres pondent explains, survive in govern ment offices as outward and visible signs of officialism, like blue paper and rep tape. In the courts they are Indispensable, for who can imagine counsel taking a note with a steel pen or using it to point at a witness or to give emphasis to an argument? But the art of mending quills is al most, and probably 99 out of 100 readers who attempted to "nib" one after the manner of Dotheboys Hall would succeed only In cutting their thumbs. The use of quill pens Is by no means confined to government of fices. Several well known novelists still stick to the quill; It is Indeed the only writing implement with any per sonality if It Is refractory you can coax It. The mending of a quill does not require much practice and you can buy for a few shillings a little machine that does it for you beauti fully. You may easily wrle IS. 000 worda with one quill, mending It four time, which gives six quills to the novel. London Chronicle. Proving Too Modi. An. Irishman was once serving in a regiment In India. Not liking the cli mate, Pat tried to evolve a trick by which he could get. home. Accord ingly he went to the doctor and told him hla eyesight was bad. The doc tor looked at him for a while and then said: "How can you prove to us that your eyesight la bad?" Pat looked about the room and at last said: "Well, doctor, you Be that nail on the wall?" "Yea," replied the doctor. "Well, then." replied Pat, "I can't." Chicago Tribune, THE PREVARICATORS' CLVB. In a little country village, a crowd of loafers around a store, got to talking about echoes, and Jim San dtrs said down where he was born and raised there was an echo and ho used to put It to a peculiar use. Ho said that every night before he went to bed he would put his head out the window and say: "Jim Sanders! Seven o'clock; time to get up." Ho would start that echo going and next morning at 7 o'clock it would get back and say: "Jim Sanders! Seven o'clock; time to get up." Deacon Withorspoon said he didn't know much about echoes, but he'd seen It rain about as hard as any body ever seen it rain. Somebody said: "Deacon, how hard did you ever see it rain?" "Well sir." said the deacon, "once upon a time, when I was at home, we had an old cider barrel lying out In the yard with both ends out and the bung hole up and would you believe It. It rained so hard Into that bung hole that water couldn't run out of both ends fast enough and it swelled up and busted." We thought that was pretty good for a deacon. Reuben Henry said he'd never seen it rain very hard, but no'd seen some mighty cold weather. Somebody said: "Rube, how cold did you ever see It get?" He said: "Well, sir, one time when I was living down in Pickaway coun ty, in hog killing time, we had a kett tle of boiling water setting on the stove, and we took it out In the yard anil it froze so doggone quick the Ice was hot." From Norman E. Mack's National Monthly. THE SEDUCTIVE MIXCE PIE M. Campaninl, the great operatic conductor, praised mince pie at a din ner in Chicago. "I don't wonder," he said, "that your mince pie is Indissolubly linked with your Christmas for Christmas Is the best day of all, and mince pie is the best dish. "But indigestable! I hear on all sides tales about the indlgestibllity of mince pie. Nevertheless I keep on eating it, though the last tale I heard was very harrowing, indeed. "It was a tale about a dyspeptic bishop who spent Christmas week with a Chicago family. There was, of course, mince pie for the Christmas dinner, ami at first the bishop, on ac count of his dyspepsia, refused to take any; but his hostess assured him that her mince was as digestable as stale bread, and so he succumbed. "He succumbed. He ate a whole mince pie. And the next morning he was so ill that he could not conduct an early service for which he had pledged himself. "The bishop was very ill, Indeed. He groaned, and he tossed about the bed and the family brought him hot water bottles, mustard plasters and all man ner of remedies. "But nothing seemed to do any good, and his host, when he gave vent to an unusually loud series of groans, hurried into ie room and said somewhat sarcastically: " ' Why bishop, you are not afraid to die, are you? " "The bishop, thinking of his mince pie and his missed service, answered: " 'No, I'm not afraid to die, but I'm ashamed to" January 23 In History. 1800 Edward Rutledge, one of the South Carolina signers of the Decla ration of Independence, died.

A special type of electric locomotive has been perfected for handling freight on city lines ana at city ter minals. The service to be performed Includes the collection of freight from terminals and docks, where the grades are both short and sharp, and the transportation of the goods over lines used for passenger service which can not be used for freight car storage. As this locomotive must combine high power with speed, the motors installed are rated to develop 225 horse-power each which is more than Is required ordinarily for switching service. The design In general ap pearance is the same as the regular switching electric locomotive-with a central cab and sloping end compart ments. The main operating cab of this new General Electric type of locomotive is in the center of the platform, with auxiliary end compartments and side platforms extending out towards the ends of the locomotive, this arrange ment giving the operator an extended view in all directions from his seat. Four motors are employed to fur nish a traction effort of 27.500 pounds at a speed of seven miles an You Cannot Do Better 17 ROOM HOUSE On South Main, ?1500 on ly requires $500 cash to buy. 12 ROOM HOUSE On South Main, will trade for wheat or alfalfa land.

"Not long ago I attended the funral of a millionaire financier one of those real 'high financiers' whose low methods Lawson loves to turn the light on. "I arrived at the funeral a little late. I took a, seat beside Lawson and whispered: " 'How far has the service gone?"
