Those who attended the meeting
esterday realize now, if they did not
before, that each of the six organi
sations represented at the convention
l.r.s a worthy and legitimate purpose.
No organization does work that is
inimical to others bu in a general
way each organization is working for
the benefit of its members and Inci
dentally for the betterment of the
county at large. The six organiza
tions should pull together better than
they have been doing In the past.

FATHER.
He had never made a fortune,
or a noise .
In the world where men are
seeking alter fame;
But he had a healthy brood of
girls and boys,
Who loved the very ground
on which he trod,
They thought him Just a little
short of God; .
Oh, you should have heard
the way they said his
name
"Father."
There seemed to be a tender
little prayer
In their voices, even when
they called him "Dad,"
Thought the man was never
heard of anywhere,
As a hero, yet you somehow
understood
He was doing well his part, and
"making good";
And you knew it by the way
his children had
Of saying "Father."
He gave them neither emi
nence nor wealth.
But he gave them blood un
tainted with a vice;
And the opulence of undiluted
health;
He was honest, and unpur
chasable and kind;
He was clean in heart, and
body, and in mind;
So he made them heirs to
' riches beyond price
This Father.
He never preached nor scolded;
and the rod
Well he used it as a turning
pole in play;
But he showed the tender
sympathy of God
To his children in their troub
les and their Joys.
He was always chum and com
rade with his boys;
And his daughters oh, you
ought to hear them say,
"Father."
SHOULD PULL TOGETHER.
At the "Get Together" convention
yesterday many things were said that
were timely and right to the point
They bear directly upon the business
relations existing between the "dif
ferent classes of men who made up
the gathering. It is well those senti
ments were voiced aa they were be
cause good generally results from a
free and fair expression of opinion.
In speaking as president of the state
organization of the farmers' union J.
W. McAllister told of the stand of the
union with reference to trading. He
believes that farmers should trade
with their home merchants rather
than with outside mall order houses.
But he contends also that In making
purchases of produce merchants
should treat farmers with the same
consideration that they, the mer
chants, ask of the farmers. That is
enly fair.
Speakers representing the local bus
iness organizations also made timely
remarks upon thi3 subject. If a far
mer is receiving credit from a mer
chant he should not send his cash
away to a mail order establishment
If he wishes to make cash purchases
get, cash quotations from your home
merchants and spend your money
with him. When you buy at home
you can pee what you are buying and
make an exchange If an article is un
satisfactory. The home merchant
payB taxes, direct and Indirect, that
serve to keep up local government
and local Institutions such as schools
roads and churches. The mail order
house does nothing of this sort. A
mail order house never extends you
credit when you may be In poor cir
cumstances and when your family
may be In need of the necessities of
life.
In the view of this paper whole-
erne results will follow yesterday's
meeting. It was a "get together" af
fair in spirit aa well as In name. Bach
roan present was ready to listen to the
ether fallow's side of the question and
did so. Incidentally he learned some
things that he should know. Mefj.
chanta deserved to be reminded that
they are under obligations to local
produce raisers and farmers were in
need of a few cold facte with refer-
In return for the administration's
support of tfan Francisco for the Fa
t.nma exposition the people of Cali
fornia, or at least some of them, have
tiaded off their right to object to the
admission of Japanese coolies to this
country. What will be the outcome
of this bargain?
Since Japan has assumed an obli
gation of honor to keen her laborers
it home it will require some time to
test the new treaty. It is evident
though that the new arrangement
bodes trouble for the Pacific coast.
No doubt the Japs will flock to this
country in greater numbers than In
the past. They will tend to drive the
American laborer from the construc
tion camps and will enter Into com
petition with white men in other lines
of activity. They are already doing
this to a dangerous extent in Califor
nia. White men cannot compete with
Japanese because the latter have a
standard of living that permits them
tc exist at but slight expense.
Why is the Taft administration soJ
favorable to the admission of the
Japanese coolies that the president
was willing to trade his Influence in
Keating the Panama exposition in
order to tie the hands of the Califor
nians? Is the president afraid of the
mikado and wishes to await the com
pletion of the big canal before fac
ing this issue in a firm and manly
way? Or has he listened to the plea
of railway magnates and others who
desire to secure cheap labor from
the orient?
The meadow larks are here, the
baseball fans have formed a league
for the summer and there are many
other signs of spring. But now comes
the snow to show that Old Winter
has not yet left the stage.
In order to land a contract for two
Argentine warships for a shipbuild
ing concern someone has given away
secrets of the American navy. The
thing looks bad but of course the se
crets may have been of an open sort.
Lorimer seems about as hard to
ditch as was the Honorable J. W.
Bailey. Barnacles are always hard
to cast .off.

THERE ARE MANY RENTERS.
Editor East Oregonian:
This may look as if I were trying
to keep in the limelight when in
reality no noe cares less for such
things than myself. But there Is one
phase of the situation that I should
like to have seen mentioned at the
get together meeting. The relation or
the renter to the so-much-talked-of
progress of Umatilla county. The
question is frequently asked of the
farmers' union people, why don't
you do things? Why don't you take
part in the public enterprises that
are being exploited The district
fair, for instance, etc. Mr. Smythe
said in his address, put your society
on a sound financial footing. Mr.
Gwinn cites us to the large number
of rich farmers in the viclajty.
The fact is that the wheat fields of
this county are passing Into the hands
of the renter almost entirely. Every
year he is squeezed a little tighter.
For instance, he gets permanently
located, so he thinks, at least Some
one comes along and raises the rent
on him. He moves on to the next
place that he can get, or tries some
other locality.
There Is little chance for perma
nent Improvement under these con
ditions for either the country or the
renter. He is little more than a chat
tel, a mere pawn to be moved about
the board, or rather the wheat fields
of the country; He couldn't do
things If he could afford It. He is
not fixed in one place long enough.
He Is not identified with the best In
terests of the locality In which he
lives.
The Farmers' Union In this partic
ular region Is mainly composed of
these men. They are making a half
hearted effort to protect their own
Interests, and that's about all. The
rich retired farmer, as a rule, nas
no particular Interest in our move
ments. In other places where condi
tions are different, the union Is do
ing things. And are making them
selves a power in the land. The ques
tion Is, are we drifting towards con
ditions that exist and have existed In
Ireland so long? And If so, what Is
the remedy. This is no personal
complaint, but facta that concern
your country and your city more than
they do Yours truly,
L. T. EATON, a Renter.

Some reformers want to make the
world better so that there won't be
so many temptations for them to yield
to.
SUMMER AFTERNOON.
(A Toem by Edith Wharton in the
March Scribner.)
Not all the wasteful beauty of tho
year
Heaped in the scale of one consu-
mate hour
Shall this outweigh: the curve of
quiet air
That held, as In the green sun-fluted
light
Of sea-caves quivering In a tidal lull,
Those tranced towers and long un
rulned walls,
Moiit-girdled from the world's dis
solving touch.
The rook-flights lessening over eve
ning woods,
And. down the unfrequented grassy
slopes,
The shadows of old oaks contempla
tive Reaching behind them like the
thoughts of age.
High overhead hund the long Sussex
ridge,
Sun-cintured, as a beaker's rim of
gold
Curves round its green concavity;
and slow
Across the upper pastures of tho
sky
The clouds moved white before the
herding airs
That In the hollow, by the moated
walls,
Stirred not one sleeping lily from Its
sleep.
Deeper the hush fell; more remote
the earth
Fled onward with the flight of cloud
and sun,
And cities strung upon the flashing
reel
Of nights and days. We knew no more
of these
Than the grey towers redoubling In
the moat
The image of a bygone strength
transformed .
To beauty's endless uses; and Itue
them
We felt the touch of that renewing
power
That turns the landmarks of man's
ruined toll
To high star-haunted reservoirs of
peace.
And with that sense there came the
deeper sense
Of moments that, between the beats
of time,
May thus inspire in some transcend
ent air
The plentitude of being.
I1CDDAHISM.
Sometimes the offlceseeker ' who
makes the slowest run scatters the
moat "dust"
It must be said of Buddahlsm, how
ever, that it has left one Indelible
mark all over India, China and the
East, and that is the teaching of gen
tleness and kindness to one another
and to animals. Buddha tausht that
life is but a prolonged endeavor to
escape from suffering, and that,
therefore, to cause others to suffer
is the unforgivable sin. By medita
tion a man is to lose the sense of the
painfulness of life, and to earn some
mitigation, from the cycle through
which he must pass before reaching
Nirvana, where all rebirth ends at last
and one loses consciousness forever.
This creed is pure agnosticism, hold
ing that a man's ow n acts alone make
up the tale of his faith.
Agnosticism everywhere throws a
man back upon himself, and every
where and always produces one of
two results. It makes men. as in In
dia and China, pessimists hopeless,
helpless and without ambitions for
either their souls or their bodies; or
it makes men colossal egoists who
worship themselves. Nothing can oe
more portentous of evil to the race
than our agnostic democracies of the
west, which are putting man on a ped
estal and waving the incense of eight
hours' work, old-age pensions, no con
scription, a vote for each adult, state
support, and so on, before him.
It was a moving spectacle, for ex
ample, to all students of the ethnic
religions when Mr, Keir Hardie, as
the exponent of western agnosticism
or man as his own god, came out to
India to preach this dostrine to the
Buddhist impregnated Indians, steep
ed in pessimism. They immediately
dubbed him the "King of' the Coolies"
and could not wrench their Imagina
tions to see how a man of no caste
could be worth Imitating or follow
ing. The first flash of a picture that
will some day be a terrible conflict
between the Yellow and the White
was revealed when the man who
cared everything for man and met
the men who care nothing for man,
and neither understood the other in
the least. From "Religion and Cas.e
in India," by Price Collier, in the
March Scribner.
THE REASON.
"When Lincoln was on circuit in
his lawyering days," says a Chicago
veteran, "he used to put up at some
pretty bad taverns taverns where,
big as he was, by Crlnus, ho and the
Judges and the lawyers would have
to sleep two and three in a bed.
"And what beds they were! Once
after a wretched night Lincoln got
up and walked In his long night shirt
to a notice on the wall that said: "No
smoking In the bedrooms.'
"He chuckled grimly. Then " he
took a pencil from his night shirt
pocket and scribbled beneath the no
tlce:- 'The-fleas don't like It.'"
Dignity Is a way we have of mak
ing people believe we are what they
know we ain't.

HE WAS NOT DISINTERESTED.
Andrew Carnegie at a dinner in
New York said of the war scare that
started up coincldentally with his
$10,000,000 peace fund gift:
"It wasn't, perhaps, a coincidence,
that war scare. Let us remember
what large interests are involved in
the maintenance of armies and arma
ments and navies.
"These war scares that, arising so
opportunely, shut off so many peace
movements, make me think of Smith.
"As Smith frowned over a long
dressmaker's bill at breakfast, Mrs
Smith murmured:
"'Who was lfsald that a woman's
best friend was her dressmaker?"
" 'Probably the dressmaker,' growl
ed Smith."

neighbors what one of her husband's
friends has told him.
