WORK.
What are we set on earth for
tay. to toil;
Nor seek to leave thy tending
of the vines
For all the heat o' da; . I'M It
declines. '
And death's mild curfew shall j
from work assail.
Gcd did anoint thee with his
odorous oil.
To wrestle, not to reign; and he
assigns
All thy tears over, like pure
crystallines.
For younger feilow-workers of
the soil
To wear for amulets.
l
So other i
thall i
Take patience, labor, to
heart r.n 1 hand.
From thy hand and thy heart
and thy brave cheer.
And God's grace fructify
through thee to all.
The least fbwer, with a brim
ming cup may n,l.
And share its dew-drop with
another rear.

But who kn.'V.s when s.oa cor.tin
geney m ty ari.-e to delay the turning
Off of the curr.-rr.? A fas-: burning
fire might occur at any time in the
congested part of the city and ter
rible damage might be inflicted be
fore word could be g tt-.-n to the men
at the sub-station.
The danger to firemen fro:n the
overhead wir.-s is a matter worth
earnest consideration. Our volun
teer firemen rush forth from their
homes to fight fires and at the very
bitt their work Is hard and danger
ous They work more from a sense
of town patriotism than from any
thing else. The pay they get scar
ely reimburse them for the clothes
they ruin. They are entitled to ever'
reasonable protection and it will be
tut reasonable to ask that the over
head wires be placed underground In
the business section.
The two corporations afeeted ob
ject to the improvement because of
the expense involved. Still It will
be cheaper for the companies to
place their wires underground now
than to do so later. They may now
lay cables on Cottonwood, Garden,
Alta and Webb and West Court
ttreets at but slight expense. After
those streets have been paved It will
cost stil! more to do the work.
And some day the overhead wires jas east? Will not the electricity run

will probably avail themselves of
that privilege If the council falls to
act. In a short time the public ser
vice commission- law will be oper
ative in Oregon and the commission
may then order the overhead wires
removed if it sees fit. On complaint
being made the commission would
probably take such action because
there would be justice in the com-
rdilnt
Cilice it is inevitable the work must
be done some time why will It not be
bettor for the corporations to get busy
now while the path is easy?
If the electric company objects to
the move tell the officials it will be
Letter for the company to have its
wires underground than to face pos
sible damage suits.
If the telephone people object tell
them that the city of Pendleton is
"standardizing" its system of hand
ling overhead wires. Not long -ago
the 'phone company "standardized"
its local rates and the process was
upward. With the Increased reve
nue now derived as a result of that
change the company should easily
alford to pay for placing its wires
underground In the business section
They have long talked of spending
$20, 000 here and It Is time for ther
to give Pendleton something besides
conversation on the subject.
This evening the proposition of re
quiring the electric and telephone
companies to place their wires under
grounj wlll be brought before the
council. The answer will be awaited
with interest because it w'll settle
more questions than one.

An untimely wreck was that
the Oregon Trunk road Monday
on
in
vi. icli five were killed and many in
jured. The Hill line up the, Des
chutes has been in operation but a
short time and it is a bad initiation
for the new road.
What makes the accident the more
deplorable from a Northern Pacific
standpoint is the fact that the Ore--
gon Trunk is supposed to be a well
built line. However the story of the
wreck explains that the particular
section of the track where the acci
dent occared Is not permanent track.
I: Is a lo"p around a point that is
to be tunnelled.
It now seems It would have been
economy for the railroad to have
constructed that tunnel before plac
ing trains in operation on the road.
WHY SHOULD IT?
To offset the move for having the
electric wires placed underground It
is insinuated that the improvement
might also work expense on prop
erty owners. Why should it do so?
The buildings in the business section
were but lately rewired In accord
ance with the latest rules. Will not
that wiring suffice regardless of
whether the current comes from the
front or the rear of the buildings?
Will not the juice run west as well
r.i'-nt for the defense. It should be
'shaken before taken."

The senate dared not oneply oppose
this measure, which has four times
passed the house n different congress
es, and always met defeat in the
house the citadel of "privilege
But now the people can no longer
be denied. The pressure is irresist
ible. The people are massed. The
senate bowed to the popular win
64 to 24 and then proceeds to tack
on an amendment In the secret hope
of defeating the whole movement.
In form and outer semblance i. e
senate gave way to the claims of jus
tice and honesty. But the Bristow
amendment shows the cloven hoof of
malignance and insincerity.
The Bristow amendment affront the
spirit of the constitution. It is fun
damental to the constiutional plan
that I'nited States senators t-hould
be the representatives of the states
and that the states should have unre
stricted power to choose their r pre
ventatives in their own way.
In putting into the hands oil con
gress the power to control senatorial
elections in the state, the amended
resolution pas.-ed by the senate last
night snatches from the peope with
its left hand what it purports to give
with its right.
The resolution as passed will go to
conference, and will meet there the
loyal and patriotic resolution of the
lower house.
If the house fails :n this mutter to
stand firm for the people, the people
will have t.j stand firm for them

A drieil-up old colonel and a very

watching the sunset.

"But," she persisted, "surely you
cannot help admiring this verse of his
out of 'The Day is Done,' you know:
'And all the night shall be filled with
music, and the cares which Infest the
day shall fold their tents like the Ar
