Lot me but live my life from
year to year,
With forward face and unre-
luetant soul,
Not hastening to nor turn-
ing from the goal;
Not mourning for the things
that disappear
In the dim past, nor holding
liack In fear
From what the future veils;
but with a whole
And hapry heart, that pays
Its toll
To Youth and Age, and travels
on w ith cheer.
?o let the way wind up the hill
or down,
Through rough or smooth, the
journey will be Joy;
Still seeking what I sought
when but a boy
New friendship, high adventure
and a crown,
I shall grow old, but never lose
life's zest,
Because the road's last turn
will be the best.

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

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. S.
goes into the
circulation, and
drives out the
last trace of the
destructive
germs, adds
richness and
vigor to the cir
culation and
allows it to nourish the diseased por
tions of the body back to health.
S. S. S. ia purely vegetable, being
made entirely of roots, herbs and
barks, without a particle of mineral,
and its vegetable iagredients always
hasten the cure by toning up the
stomach aad digestive members.
