Henry Van Dike. . i i I i AN IMPROVEMENT. There is evidence to the effect that the county court is striving to give better supervision to road work of the county and to Insure taxpayers some thing like proper results for the mon ey expended. Though the commis sioners refused to give up the plan of supervising the road work themselves there are reasons for believeing that the supervision that is to be given may be somewhat better than that ac corded when that policy was in use Bfveral years ago. .Then the court has decided to en ter upon a policy of permanent road building. Each year the court will dc as much macadam work as possible so as to gradually provide permanent highways for the county. Certainly this is a step in the right direction. If the court adheres to this policy it will not be many years until Umatilla county will have some good roads all the year round. If the court will but put into permanent roadbullding the money which in the past has been wasted vhrough ill timed or misman aged work on the dirt roads marvel ous results may be obtained. As to why the commissioners re fused to adopt Judge Maloney's plan for having work supervised by dist rict roadmasters rather than by mem bers of the court this paper is at a loss to understand. It was a far bet ter plan than the one that will be fallowed. The plan of having the work done personally by members of the court was tried before and It led to much complaint Charges of ex travagance and graft were freely made. It is a plan that naturally leads to suspicion. How well the plan will work under the present court remains to be seen. Ir may be that the members of the court intend to pursue a different course with reference to their super visory work. They may not intend to do all. their supervising from O. R. & N. passenger coaches. It is to be hoped so anyway, it is also to be hoped that henceforth when the county does road work at Fulton men .and teams wont be sent out from Pen dleton to do that work and be allow ed pay for the time enroute. The county can afford to pay for road work but cannot afford to pay peo ple for making an eight mile trip and return each day for three weeks. It is evident that the publicity this paper has given to county road af faire during the past week or two has accomplished some eood. Publicity usually brings wholesome results. Meanwhile, if farmers, businessmen or other taxpayers have anything further to offer upon this subject the East Oregonian will be glad to publish their views. TWO 6ORT8 OP DEMOCRATS. How futile and shattered have be- -come the lines that divide this coun try into republicans and democrats Is shown by the sputter made Satur day by Senator Bailey of Texas. If the democratic party stands for anything it stands for liberalism. It Is the party of reform. Tet here la Senator Bailey, reputed democrat!.' leader in the senate, offer'ng to re sign because his colleagues voted to admit Arizona to the union after It had adopted a constitution containing the initiative and referendum. Bailey is a reactionary democrat. He has long been classed as one who stood with the interests, He is no reformer. He does not even disapprove of legis lative bribery for he fought hard to keep the senate from ousting Lorimer. Bailey declares the Inltative and re ft rendum a populistic vagary. Yet state after state is following Oregon in the adoption of the same and the progressives, of boh parties, are making the inltative and referendum the chief plank in their platform. It is recognized that the initiative and referendum affords a way by which popular government may be restored in states that have become machine ridden. No state can well secure a thorough direct primary law until it first gets the initiative. There is nothing sn the Initiative and referen- lum to conflict with the principles of the democratic party. On the con trary the initiative and referendum is the very tssence of democracy. Bailey's behavior shows that the democrats as well as the republicans are sadly divided and that a political realignment cannot be far distant. ENFORCE THE LAW. In putting the lid upon those who would hold prizefights in this city the authorities are taking the only course open to them. There is a state law against prize fighting and it is the duty of the sheriff and of the district attorney to enforce that law. It is also the duty of the city, through its police department, to co-operate in the enforcement of the law. That the city is ready to do its part in this work is evident by the vigorous orders giv en by Mayor Murphy Saturday. Pendleton is tired of pugilism and especially of the sort It has been hav ing and will welcome the lid. Do the taxpayers of this city want to continue the use of a high school building that Is cracking and is re garded as unsafe? In the view of the East Oregonian they do not. If peo ple will but Investigate the condition of the present structure they will be very willing to vote for the erection oi a new building. Senators who voted to sustain Lori mer are now hearing from home. Now the country will have a chance to see what the defocrats will do. MARRIAGE IX inGn LIFE. (Minneapolis Tribune.) The Reid family has taken such strong root in London, whence all tfie efforts of the president to find a suc cessor as ambassador to the court of St. James have been unable to de tach It, that the marriage of its son to an American girl may be consid ered a new form of International al liance. It Is far more worthy of note In that capacity that the union celebrat ed with such splendor in New Torn not long ago or than most of the mar riages arranged in high life that ebbs and flows between New York and London. The children of the Relds must "take- after" their mother, who was a daughter of one of the finest types of California argonauts, David "Og den Mills. Mills made himself rich without corrupting legislation or skinning the public, invented the most modest and useful charities ever known In this country, and remained a gentleman in the highest circles of New York society. His granddaughter gratified her father by marrying an Englishman, but we believe he was a clean and healthy army officer in active serv ice, neither tagged with a title nor possessed of much wealth. Now her brother has done a much finer thing by marrying his mother's social sec retary, a young woman of good stock but small means who lived In Racine, Wis., and graduated at Barnard col lege. There is something in heredity af ter all, under the most favorable cir cumstances. EYES AND THE VOICE. A physician In London. Dr. William Martin Richards, has had occasion to observe a relation existing between the eyes and the voice and has recent ly made a statement of two cases that came under his treatment where ac tresses who had lost their voices com pletely recovered them when treated for defective eyes and fitted with proper glasses. He tells of one young woman In whose family eye diseases were here ditary who found herself at the age nf 22 losing her voice. Her eyes were found to be In need of attention and when she had been supplied with glasses she promptly recovered her singing voice. When she discarded the glasses some time later and her eyes were once more neglected her voice also relapsed Into a liusky state that pre cluded all singing. This practitioner has observed a number of similar cases, and the discovery of the rela tion between the eyes and the voice should certainly be valuable to stage folk and others who depend largely upon their voices for their status in the world. MIGHT SPARE A FEW. It Is said that never was there a gentler critic than Dr. McCllntock of Dickinson college. One day a young orator presented his speech for Dr. McCllntock's approval. He evidently did not anticipate adverse criticism. He received t, nevertheless, given In the doctor's gentle, humorous way, which never could offend. "It's a good speech," he said, "but there Is, perhaps, a little, too much of a certain sort of rhetoric. For In stance. I find in it two midnight owls, two midnight wolves, three Am erican eagles and four unfurled ban ners. It seems that the supply ex ceeds the demand," PERTINENT POINTERS. You've got no kick coming if you deserve the mean things said about you. Many a woman would like to swap her husband for a bunch of alimony. One idea of a fool barber Is one who cuts the same customer twice in the same place. If a pair of shoes are too small they may fit a woman, but If they are too large she has a fit. Sometimes the only complimentary thing that you can truthfully say of an acquaintance Is "He Isn't any worse tnan otner men. AS A GIHL VIEWS IT. The average man's attitude toward a clever woman Is that of the curious small boy who wanted to "shee de wheels go wound." If a girl Is pretty enough she can sometimes manage to live down a college education It's useless for an heiress to waste time learning to speak French in or der to captivate a foreign nobleman, believing her money will do the talk ing for her. POPFLATION OF MEXICAN STATES According to the 1910 census of Mexico, the state of Chiapas has 43t, S17 inhabitants, which Consul Brick wood of Tapachula, says shows an Increase of 76,018 over the popula tion of 1900. The state occupies thirteenth place among the 31 politi cal entities which form the republic of Mexico, those having more than 1,000,000 residents being Jalisco, Veracruz, Puebla, Guanajuato and Oaxaca. COCLD NOT WRITE NAME BUT MADE A MILLION A will signed only with an X, be cause its author was unable to read or write, has Just been probated at Mineola, L. I., and disposes of an es tate valued at nearly a million dol lars accumulated by the late John Lahey. Lahey came to America in 1S66 and obtained employment in Brook lyn, working as a common laborer at a dollar a day. He saved every cent possible and Invested in New York real estate. Despite his illiteracy, he possessed shrewdj judgment of land values and his investments rapidly In creased in value. He often declared that he did business only with honest people, and that It made no differ ence whether he had education or not. The estate is divided among his nine children. "THE MOST REMARKABLE WOMAN IN AMERICA" In connection with automobile tour ing, Mrs. Harriett Clark Fisher stands foremost. This lady of wealth, whom Wu Ting Fang designated as "the most remarkable woman in America," is best known by reason of her recent round-the-world 'tour. This trip, which was accomplished in an American1-made automobile, a Locomobile, of forty horsepower, is still fresh In the minds of motordom and the pub lic at large. It Is all the more re markable when It is known that she traversed thousands of miles of moun tains and plains where automoblllsts had never dared venture. Without maps or other data to assist her, she accomplished the almost Impossible. She was warned that certain roads were Impassable, particularly be tween Bombay .and Calcutta, a route she was the first to take and accom plish on this tour, Mrs. Fisher, to use her own words, "was striving to kill care rather than derive actual en joyment." Raymond F. Barnes, in March Columbian, DLOOD DISEASES CONTAGIOUS TROUBLES Contagious Blood Poison more thoroughly permeates the system than any other disease. Its infectious virus contaminates every corpuscle and tissue of the circulation, and fortius reason its symptoms are of a varied nature. When it enters the blood it is but a short time until the mouth and throat begin to ulcerate, the skin becomc3 spotted, rashes and eruptions appear on the body, sores and ulcers break out, the hair falls, and fre quently nails on hands end feet thick en and come off. Mineral medicines which simply shut the poison up in the system should be avoided, for when such treatment is left off the old dis ease will break out again, often worse than before. S. S. S. cures Contagious Blood Poison permanently, and it does so because it thoroughly purifies the blood. S. S.
