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!

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'.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

not interfere with the work of a new
P'ayhouse. Pendeton needs both and
should secure both during the com-1

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. As to "coming
back to Pendleton" to engage in the

might state in connection that this city
appeals to look equally good to the

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

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 fact that some good development

county.

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. Special book on Rheumatism and medical advice free. S. S. S.
