THE CELESTIAL, LOVE.
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."

RETTER MANNERS.
(Philadelphia Press.)
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.
