The vise old Mother
lets man
risy a while
Ewn as a child with toys
about the earth.
Ere she shall welcome baoii,
with sweet, slow smile.
The foolish one to whom her
throes gave birth.
Tug at his tether n
V,nows,
he may, he
Ieep in his heart, that she is j
always by;
He feels her presence under-
. r.eath the snows,
And in the rain of autumn
hears her sigh.
The more he strays, the longer
battles grim
With foes or friends, play
ing man's shifting role.
The surlier doth there slow up
rise in hira
The yearning to come back
and ease his soul
' s
To take her hands and
look !
into her face
And kiss her forehead, while
he hears her say:
"TVelcome. my dear, to the old
wonted place,
Welcome to love, and sleep
and holiday."
Richard Turton.
A WHISPER IN THE WIND.
John 3. Parsons, self styled organ
i7er of the sugar trust holds rare
views for this day and age. List-n
to what he has had to say:
"The S'.oiur politicians realize that
their efforts to prevent combination
oi capital from increasing prices on
all commodities and that the 'dear
public' is the only sufferer by their
attempts, the better it w ill be for the
country. I
"Capitalization of corporations mi
a oitsis yf actual physical valuation t ,
properties is a joke," continued Par
sons. "The future must be capitaliz
ed as must also opportunities. The
goverr.m.;nt must keep its hands off."
It is rot of the same variety that
was handed out by fuedal lords to
their Serfs in meda-val times. The
un ltrlir.gs Were told to -.vork and not
try to think or attempt anything for
their own advancement. That should
be K-ft to their masters. They knew
what to do. In the days before the
French I'-voluti m when peasants
were starving to sustain a useless and
corrupt nobility the people were told
to eat grass if they could find noth
ing better. But they dil not do it
very long.
If th-re were many men like Par
aot: ai;l if there were any danger
of their remaining in ControJ he
country would be facing a serious
situation. There would be danger of
fiod knows what.
Eut fortunately even the money
k.:.gri X the country are not quite so
radical as this. The most of them
have more breadth of view than
Parsor.s and more Americanism.
That such is true is evidenced by the
recen; utterances of President Gary
of the steel trust that hope lies in
governmental regulation.
Th'-re is hope in governmental ac
tion brought on by politicians of
the progressive type and it is the
ccur.try's only hope. Left to them
selves individuals can no more cope
with the trusts than with the ele
mer.t?. Individuals are powerless In
the gilp of the monopolies and as
long as the government keeps its
hands off the monopolies will run
things to suit their own sweet pleas
ure. It has always been that way.
The Trench nobility did not establish
the republic of France, The popu
late did it by the force of might
George the third did not give up the
colord'.s until forced to do so. The
trust magnate of this country will
continue lo rule for thdr own ad
vantaae Just aa long as the people al
low th-m to.
The saving feature of the situation
1-. this country is that the people
heve illrect power over the govern
ment if they but care to exercise It
and exercise this power they will In
due time. The voice of the people 1

increase in rates. Should such an in

Under an ordinance the city bars
any sort of an overhead sign save an
illuminated one. The ordinance is
for the purpose of keeping the
streets looking we!!. Yet we allow
the eb-ctiic company and the tele
phone company to keep their scarred
and weatherbeaten poi-s on the side

Are the electric corr.p-.tny and the
telephone company better than our
local merchants?
The traveling men are good boost
ers or good knockers according as
the case may be. So it is a move in
the right direction for the Commer
cial club to plan a banquet in their
honor this fall Entertain them and
tell them what Pendleton is. what it
hopes to be and enlist them in the
cause.
WHAT A HOY CAN DO.
These are some of the things a boy
can do;
He can shout so loud the air turns
blue;
He can make all sounds of beast and
bird,
And a thousand more they never
heard.
He can crow or cackle, chirp or cluck
Till he fools the rooster, hen or
duck.
He can mock the dog or Iamb or cow
And the cat herself can't beat his
"me-ow."
He has sounds trat ar ruffled, strip
ed or plain;
He can thunder by like a railway
train, Stop at the stations a breath, and then
Apply the steam and be off again.
He has all of his powers
In
such
brass
command, ,
He can turn right into a full
band,
With all of the instruments ever play
ed, And march away as a street parade.
You can t .11 that a boy is very ill
If he's wide awake and is keeping
still;
But earth would be God blens their
noise
A dull old place if there were no boys.
