IMMORTALITY.
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.

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

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"

EI.F.CTIUC LOCOMOTIVES.
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
