Their chords of love so public are They intertwine the farthest star; The throbbing sea, the quaking earth, Yield sympathy and signs of mirth; Is none so high, so mean is none, But feels and seals this union. Love's hearts are faithful but not fond, Bound for the just, but not be- yond; Xot glad, as the low-loving herd, 4 Of self in other still preferred, But they have heartily designed The benefit of broad mankind. And they serve men austerely, After their own genius, clearly Without a false humility; For this is Loves nobility Xot to scatter bread and gold, Goods and raiment bought and sold; But to hold fast his simple sense, 4 And speak the speech of inno- cense, For he that feeds men serveth few, He serves all who dare be true. Emmerson. GOING FORWARD. In the educational world the ten dency to combine the practical with the theoretical is becoming more and more pronounced. Schools seek to give instruction that will be " useful as well as ornamental." The idea is now recognized that true culture may be derived from a study of practical, everyday subjects as well as from pondering over dead issues. At the same time a knowledge of practical affairs fits the student for the active duties of life. The modern idea is that the lamp of learning should not be the feeble glow that the ancients knew but that it should blaze high and strong and send forth its rays to really lighten and warm the world. In taking up with this modern ten dency the Pendleton schools are abreast of the times. The Pendleton high school is the first institution of Its sort in the state to establish a course in agriculture. It is a proper subject to be taught in the schools oi this city because this section relies upon agriculture more than upon any other industry. It is gratifying to know that the course is proving pop ular. , But the school board should not stop here and it is not the intention of the board to do so. It is the desire of the board to apply the principle of practical culture to the young ladies as well as to the young men attend ing the high school. It is the inten tion to establish a course in domestic science as quickly as possible. In household science classes girls are taught cooking, needlework and other useful things. Incidentally they are given lectures upon subjects highly beneficial to them. Aa the East Oregonlan understands It the school board proposes to es tablish a domestic science course Im mediately upon the completion of the proposed new high school which will provide room for the new department The course is needed and the board is moving in the right direction. DOXT OPEN" THE GATE. The south is beset with a race problem that grows in seriousness as the colored population increases In numbers. The race problem down there is like a great cloud across the ky and it Is a constant menace to the peace and happiness of the southern people. The race problem more than Anything else serves to block the pro cress and development of the south. "What the end will be no man knows. The west also has a race problem, due to the presence of orientals. Thus far the question has not become erlous In Oregon at least, owing to Che fact that the influx of Asiatics has been restricted. For years a Chi nese exclusion law has been In effect and the coming of the Japanese has also been restricted. But it is now reported that President Taft Is nego tiating a treaty under 'which Japa nese coolies may be admitted to Am erica without restriction. Should such a treaty be made with Japan the west will soon have a race problem, slightly different, yet just as serious as that which confronts the south. MISl'N'DKHSTOOD. Many local farmers oppose the pro poganda of the state good roads as sociation because they fear that the money appropriated is to be expend ed in the construction of a great state highway from the Columbia river to the California line. But there is no bill before the legis lature that provides for any such high way. The highway commission bill calls for the improvement of roads In the various counties. The county courts are to say what roads shall be improved and are to expend the mon ey. The state will pay half the expense incurred. As the East Oregonlan understands the matter the proposition of a great cross state highway is a scheme that aas never been seriously considered and has never been sanctioned by the good roads leaders who are back of the measures now before the leg islature. Those' who are opposing the good roads propoganda through fear of a cross state highway misunder stand the situation entirely. If the good roads measures are de feated their defeat will be due to mis taken opposition on the part of the very people who stand to reap the chief benefits from the passage of the bills. THE "ROLLER" IS N EEDED. With practically no legislation yet accomplished and with only three weeks of the session remaining it is about time the legislators were get ting down to business. In using "steam roller" methods to force the members of the house to hold sessions and to grind out the work before them Speaker Rusk is taking the right course. There Is grave danger when the legislature leaves too much work for the closing days of the session. Ii Is when the closing days are over crowded that Jobs are perpetrated and when things are done that would not be tolerated were the majority of members aware of the same. It is also timely to remark that the initiative and referendum owe much of their popularity to the fact that people know the legislature often does slipshod and uncertain work. ENLIGHTENMENT. I was so dull, the whole wide earth spread gray, And the birds were quiet, and the spring Was meaningless, and time was overlong Until a little god paused on his way Across the world to beg compan ioning, And through the silence rang a wondrous song! Now I am wise and every barren place Breaks Into bloom. I hear the birds rejoice, And spring speaks whispered . words to me apart. For I have seen the comfort of love's face. And I have known the music of love's voice, And I have felt the beating of love's heart. Charlotte Becker. TILVT POOR HUSBAND. For six months he had not smoked a cigar. For the same length of time he had eaten cheap lunches. Many and many a time he had walked to save street car fare. He had had his winter overcoat dyed black, instead of buying a new one. He hadn't bet on election, and he had held the lodge off on his dues. Yes, Mr. Perkins had saved and economized and buckled right down to hard pan, and three days before Christmas he had it in his hip pocket a diamond ring for Mrs. Perkins. He was a proud man when he played Santa Claus. It was received with an "Oh, George!" that paid him for all his sacrifices. It was a happy, merry breakfast up to the last moment. Then a shadow was seen on Mrs. Perkins' face, and she hitched about uneasily and gave Mr. P. a suspicious look. What was wrong? Would she have preferred a steam yacht to the ring? "Wlfey, what is it?" No answer. "Tell me, wlfey." "Mr. Perkins," she said as she turned to him wlh pale and deter mined face, "are those real diamonds or only rhlnentones?" POLYGAMOUS CITIES. In the February McClure's Burton J. Hendrlck, In his article on "The Mormon Revival of Polygamy," says. In speaking of the many plural mar riages made since the manifesto: "The desire for self-protection tnd secrecy has led to the establishment of several pollgamous settlements. There are two within trolley-car dis tance of Salt Lake City Forestdale and Bountiful. The polygamtata sometimes maintain their legal' fam ilies' in Salt Lake, and stow away their celestial households In one of these places. Here, likewise, they send their wives for their confine ments; the Mormons themselves com monly refer to such penetralia as 'lamblng-grounds.' Forestdale In the suburb of the polygamous elite. Somewhat further down in the social scale Is Bountiful. This place houses one thousand people, nearly all Mor mons. Its history Is redolent of poly gamy; one of the sights pointed out to visitors Is an old cellar In which polygamlsts used to secrete them selves in the days of the anti-polygamy raids. Even the children now talk these things over. My papa's been In the pen,' a lltle girl was re cently heard to say. 'He's got two wives you know.' The frequent com plication of names betrays the exist ence of polygamous households. There Is a Mrs. Jones, for example, whose little girl is entered In the public school as Helen Cannon. In fact, 'Mrs. Jones' is the 'new' polygamous wife of George M, Cannon of Salt Lake City. This same Cannon has still another plural wife In Bounti ful. There Is a Mrs. Pierce whose child is entered under tl.e name of Duffln." JANUARY 30 IX HISTORY. ISO!

That the world moves and grows better can easily be proved by any ob serving person. Such a one records what he observed In his daily walk In the streets of this city. In several cases the good manners were of a spontaneous sincerity that makes one's heart glow. A hurried man was observed to irush against an old woman selling knick-knacks, knocking one or two small envelopes to the pavement. A few steps, and he halted, turned, and saw the trivial damage Inflicted. He hastened back, gathered up the en velopes and placed them on the old woman's tray, saying: "Pardon me, madam. It was an accident. I was In a hurry and think ing." As he lifted his hat, his eye caught the sign announcing contents of en velopes. "Walt," he said, handing out a quarter, "my boy can you use some of these." At Tenth and Chestnut streets the lamp post was covered with fresh green paint, and a sign to that effect. Another man, this time a young one, In deep thought, would have brush ed off a good share of the paint with his sleeve had not a stranger reached out. "Wake up. Bill!" "Bill" looked at the sign, grinned sheepishly, and said: "Thank you." Perhaps the most beautiful Incident noticed was that of an old lady, a dainty little woman wno might have floated through the pages of 'Cran ford." Her old-fashioned bonnet, with black strings, covered snow-white hair,-her cloak a frame that was too week to swing the big door she tug ged at. Twice sTie tried and twice Its weight thrust her back. Then from the crowd stepped a sturdy young fellow. With one hand he pulled the door open with the other he lifted his hat. The old lady fluttered by with a bow and smile. Quickly the crowd swallowed them up. Surely "And they passed by on the other side" could not nave been writ ten of this generation.
