Man now bcgir.s to foel the surge Of spring within his veins, the urge Of nature, hear her far-flung call; And though his back yard is as ( small As any yard at all could be, He pines to plant a cherry tree, An apple tree, a plum tree, too, And see what a pear tre'fe would do Within its narrow space; it might, If it had care, come out all right. Currents and grapes and peach- es long Hold him enthralled. The siren song Of spring sends tingles through his blood. He wants to dabble in the mud; He wants to see vines clambor o'er Where just an ash heap grew before; He pfnes to plant in one small plot All the seed catalogues have got. Within his heart a voice grows big. And all it says is "Dig, dig, dig. Fo he will dig, and he will know The hope he knew a year ago, He'll sow enough seeds snug and warm In his back yard to plant a farm; An orchard or a garden there He knows would look surpass- ing fair. The chickens next door wait in glee And wonder which one it will be. - lust year his garden was his - boast; He got a mess of greens al- most! Chicago Xews. O 1 1 rests have held forth. By controll ing the senate they have been able to block reforms that ore needed. Since a direct election amendment come close to adoption In the old con gress it would seem that this reform should have tin easy passage through the new congress. But this does not necessarily follow. The democratic party is not all progressive. The party of the mule like the party of the elephant Is part progressive, part reactionary. It is an open ciuostlon as ! which element will dominate the democratic party now that the party i'! being placed in po'wer. Uesponsl '. .i'.ity always tends to produce eon--. rvaiNin and the present instance probably be no exception. Pining the next few months it will ; e shown how the democratic party vndor its congressional leadership will 'land with reference to legislation de sired by the people. If the party swings too far towards conservatism Iu:i the country will lose faith in the democrats and it will turn to the pro gressive republicans. On the other '.ami if Ohamp Clark and his follow- prove too radical they will incur :ho enmity of powerful business iii- vests and so jeopardize their chances f- r continuance in power. .Maybe they can maintain an equi ii 'iium for a time at least.

Local businessmen returning from visiting other northwest towns all cemment upon the fact that with re ft i nee to Commercial club accom modations Pendleton has fallen far l.fhind other live places. After one 'ills vlsitPiV the well arranged estab lishments to be found in other good communities the club rooms at the . ui tier of Court and Main streets seem aore than dingy and inadequate. They are discreditable to the city. It should be possible to secure new quarters for the local club and to o.;uip them in keeping with the town. Xow that the subject has been raised this Improvement should be hrought al out. It is an improvement which in the views of many almost ranks in not Interfere with the work for a new tneatre. Yet it should not and need not interfere with the work of a new P'ayhouse. Pendeton needs both and should secure both during the com-1 ing year. The new senator from New York, O'Gurman is classed as a progressive !ut he is said to be opposed to Roose vtlt's new nationalism. In his new na tionalism speech Col. Roosevelt out lined most of the reforms advocated by the progressive wings of the re 1 ublican and democratic parties. So it would be interesting to know just vhat sort of a progressive O'Gorman may be. VltOM AXTOX XOI.TK. Pasco, Wash., S,tTvh 30, 1911. Editor East Oregonlan: Will you allow me space In your valuable paper to answer an un-call-ed for and scurrilous attack by the other Pendleton paper in its issue of M;reh 28, under the caption of "Xolte flips from Hot Pan to Fire." The second paragraph of the article 'n question contains the following; "He was unable to obtain a liquor li cense in Pendleton, so wended his way to Pasco, where he was n little -ne e fortunate. N v h is about to He driven out frotu there also." If O. A. Uo'ohlns can produce proofs of that assertion I nm prepared to ; ike my medlrine. The facts of the case me that when Pendleton went "dry." some two years and lift If ngo t panic t Pasco and embarked in the liquor business here. I had a busi ness in Pendle'on at the time which was left in charge of hired help. Dur ir.i my absence the man in charge vi olated the liquor lw, unbeknown to me. I promptly paid the fine lm-,,.-,o.vi pd cl se! up the business. The third paragraph states: "Hut 1 I names are needed on a local op lion petition to make Pasco go "dry." 'nd there is a general feeling among t'-ie liquor dispensers that the election may win." I. along with other business men in Pasco, would I ke to know where Robbins prqeures his inside informa tion. Pasco may go "dry." so may the Columbia river, but the business nun of this city are not losing sleep .ver either proposition at the present time. Paragraph four says: "The joke on olte lies in this respect. He Is still t proper'y owner in Pendleton and on ihe day of the high school election he mad" a special trip here', accompan ied by C. J. Cunningham, formerly a CmV.Mla county sheep man, but now the owner of a Pasco hotel, to voe against the proposal. It Is true that-1 own conslderaUe property in Pendleton and country adjacent thereto, bought and paid for. My family resides in Pendleon and I make frequent trops to that city to Me them, paying his way on the train as I meet all other obligations which I may assume. As to 'how I recorded my vote on the school election, that is "my business, as I claim the right, in common with all citizens of the I'nlted States, to execlse the electoral franchise without distatlon or coer s!on. But if Robblns can prove his statement that I voted ngainst the proposition I am again ' prepared to take my medicine. In conclusion the article states that "Xolte may be glad to come back here and make another try now that the 'nothing doing' sign appears to be haisted aloft in Pasco." I have no kick coming against the city of Pendleton and no stones to throw at the city. My interests are now in Pasco, where my business Is located and I would consider myself a mighty poor citizen if I did not "boost" for the city where I make my bread and butter.

Pas co looks pretty good to me, and I might state in connection that this city appeals to look equally good to the editor of the other paper, who has ap proached me on several occasions to try and obtain a location for him here. But with our two local newspapers, whose editors confine themselves to publishing the news, there is no room in Pa sen for a "mud sllnger." During a residence of 24 years In Pendleton, I feel satisfied to leave my reputation as a citizen In the hands of my fellow citizens, cheerfully ac qulesing in their verdict, whatever it may be. Thanking you for allowing me the privilege of replying to the attack up on me. Yours very truly, ANTON XOLTE. THE .NEW CONGRESS. For the first time in nearly 20 ijrears a democratic congress convenes tomorrow. More properly speaking the lower house will be controlled by the democrats. The senate will re main republican but as it will be dom inated by the progressives the change will be virtually as complete as In the fcosse for the majority in the senate has also passed into the hands of the ai:ti-ad ministration forces. What the new congress. will do la a book that remains to be written. That th leaders in the house are awake to their responsibilities seems assured by tk program they have outlined. Here are the matters open to consideration t the special session: 1. Election of United States sena tors by vote of the people. 2. Legislation referring to the pub. litity of campaign contributions be f're and after election. J. The Canadian reciprocity agree ment. General tariff legislation and legislation affecting the revenues of the government. 4. The reapportionment of the house to conform to the 13th census. 5. Resolutions of inquiry and reso lutions touching on investigation of eiecutive departments. t. The admission of the territories f Arizona and New Mexico. T. Any deficiency bills that the exi gencies of the government may re quire to be. considered at this time nd bills to correct the enrolling of the appropriation bills passed March 4, 1911. I. Legislation relat'ng to District of Columbia. It is a good program. If the new congress carries out the first reform indicated, the direct election of sena tors, that act alone should serve to Justify the congress before tho peo ple. The country has long wanted di rect election of senators. This Is abundantly proven by the rapidity with which other states are following the lead of Oregon In prov'dlng for direct elections. People want senators elect - fl by direct vote because they have come to realize that this reform Is Im perative If popular government Is re ally to be perpetuated within the United States. The senate has long Veen the citadel where the special In- j The Italians might do well to treat J the Camorists as the people of New i.neans once dio tne members or tne i r.iafia gang. If the Camorists are the 'gang of murderers they are said to be Itl'en they are being shown too much consideration entirely. It looks like the Canadian coal min ers have selected a poor time of the year for their strike. However they may need coal in Canada even in the summer time. The bg meetings just held at Her miston and at Stanfield call to mind the fact that some good development work is on in the west end of the county. Incoming visitors could easily find the Commercial club should It be lo cated in the upper story of the Brown-field-Matlock building. Motanic won't find his friend Frank Gotch at the missionary meeting In Poston. Umatilla county farmers should sue the weather man for breach of promise.

DRIVES OUT RHEUMATISM " The primary cause of Rheumatism results from weak kidneys, constipa tion, indigestion, etc., forming impure accumulations in the system. These sour and ferment, causing uric acid, which is absorbed from the stomach and intestines into the blood. This changes the circulation from a thick, rich fluid to a thin, acrid stream, depositing inflammatory matter into themus cles, nerves, and joints. The longer the blood is allowed to remain in this impure condition the more severe will Rheumatism become. Gradually the muscles harden and lose their elasticity, the joints begin to stiffen, and fre quently calculous deposits form knots at the finger joints. There is just one way to CURE Rheumatism, and that is to cleanse the blood of the uric acid poison. S. S. S., by removing every particle of the cause and rURIFYIXG the blood, cures Rheumatism permanently. S. S. S. eliminates the uric acid because it is the greatest of all blood purifiers. It filters out every trace of the sour, inflammatory matter, cools the acid-heated blood, furnishes the mate rial for multiplying the rich, nutritious corpuscles of the circulation, and by its fine tonic effects assists the system to rapidly overcome the effects of the disease.
