left a very bungling Job. The fault

jthat these differences of sentiment
still exist and it might be as hard to
secure legislation now as it was last

roada people to agree more perfect

who cor.sider the salary very small
"i nsldering the importance of the
work done by the judge, yet the salary
seems to suffice.
In many ways the mayor of Pen
dleton has more arduous work to do i
than has the county judge. The city
does not spend as much money as does
the county, it is true. Yet there Is
more administrative work to do and
often the problems confronting the
mayor are more perplexing than those
confronting the judge. Th mayor Is
responsible for the enforcement of
-CERTAIX THE FI LL FACTS.
There appear to be wonderful dif-!
ferenees of opinion with reference to
the amount and the quality of the wa
ter at Thorn Hollow. Members of
the council who recently visited the
place predict there will not be enough
water for the city. They declare the
amount of water now running is in
sufficient for a town of this size.
Yet Chairman Brown of the water
commission, who has followed the de-
ju,ih:jh nun very closely is optim
istic over the outlook. He says the
development work is bringing favor
able results and he looks for an abund
ance of water. He is also emphatic
in his declaration that the water will
all be mountain spring water not
.seepage water from the river. He de
clares It is easy to tell where the wa
ter comes from and that people
should withhold Judgment until
th water commission has had a full
opportunity to test out the spring.
Whether or not there, will be
plenty of water in the Thorn Hollow
and adjacent springs is a question of
fact. Surely it will be possible to
arrive at the facts within a short time.
There are ways of accurately measur
ing the flow of streams and f-.ers ar-.
ways of testing the quality of a water
aurr'"y. It should not be hard to da-
often Involves much headache.
Why should people expect the head
of the city government to work for
nothing? Would it not be better to
him a reasonable compensation
and then expect him to devote closer
attention to his duties. Xo one ob
jects to paying the county "judge a
salary and people would not think
of asking the county judge to serve
without pay.

A PLACE FOli EFFICIENCY.
The recent grand Jury severely
criticised the management of the poor
farm and past grand juries have al
so found objections to the way af
fairs are handled out there. From
appearances there !s need of a change
in management and methods. The
grand jurors are mostly farmers and
when they say a farm is poorly
handled It is safe to say they under
stand what they are talking about.
It is not necessary that the poor farm
should be poorly managed. On the
contrary it should be a model of eco
nomy and efficiency. If the man in
charge does not run things satisfac
torily then the course is simple get
some one who will. The county court
has the whole world to choose from.
DISTRESSED EUROPE.
Europe is a boiling caldrom just at
present. France and Germany appear
on the verge of war. Great Britain Is
Just recovering from a fearful strike;
fri Vienna the people are rioting be
cause of the high cost of living; in
I Russia the prime minister' has been
Man is the lord of the land and tho
moon is the queen of the sea.
Put the marshes huve neither lord
nor queen, me fair wide marsh
es are free.
Their blossoms flaunt in the wind,
which sows what the frost doth
reap.
And all the marsh is astir with " life
that never knows sleep.
Swallows twitter and dart, while in
the sun-glad weather,
Grasses and rushes and rippling reeds
dance down the wind together.
Oh, the idle, sunny marshes so jubi
lant and free!
The shimmering, singing marshes,
that neither are land nor sea!
Sparkle of Myriad fire-flles, frogs
that twang through the night.
Whirling of water-beetles on pools
where the moon shies white;
A "tir of things in the darkness, lurk
ing where shadows abide.
Things that are hungry and stealthy,
things that raven and hide.
The water-rat gnaws at the roots and
the night-heron cries for his
prey,
Till the dawn-wina sighs in the reeds,
and the marsh-wren heralds
the day.
Sound and movement always life is
so eager and free.
In the whispering starlit marshes that
neither are land nor sea.
Then summer ends in the marshes
and all their singing Is done:
Gone is the flashing of wings, and the
glancing of fire-flies gone,
Only the wind sighs on, through the
rushes, withered and sere,
Earth yields harvest, and so does the
sea; but none reaps harvest
here.
L'ntasked untaxed for (heir treas
ure, unfurrowed by share or
keel.
The marshes are left alone, while the
chill gray sea-mists steal
Over th stiffening reed-beds the
clinging mists from the strand,
Veiling the sorrowful marshes that
neither, were sea nor land.

For the present the request of Mr.
Brown that people w'thhold Judg

Chinese Doctors
CAN POSITIVELY CURE YOU
Those who are suffering from dis
eases which many other doctors have
pronounced incurable, now have re
lief in sight. York & York, the fam
ous Chinese doctors, are now located
in Walla Walla. These men, after
years of study and research in China,
were granted diplomas by the Emper
or, to pursue their practice of medi
cine. For centuries the Chinese have been
acknowledged leaders In the practice
of medicine, and many wealthy peo
ple annually go to that country In
search of relief for ailments which
doctors of this country have pro
nounced incapable of permanent
cure.
York & York use nothing but pcver
fui roots and herbs of demonstrated
medical value. These roots and herbs
act gently on the system In direct
contrast to medicines usually given.
They can be consulted without cost.
Those residing out of the city can
send for symptom blanks and a free
diagnosis will be given.

The Portland Oregonian gives space
today to a long explanation by Con
gressman Lafferty of an Incident in
his Washington career that has re
cently found publicity m one or more
newspapers. It Is not agreeable to
.The Oregonian to be obliged to notice
or discuss suoh an affair. The facts,
or alleged facts, had been known in
this office for some time; but since
they have involved the name of a
sensitive and reputable young woman
in unsought and undeserved notoriety
and since, bes.des, publicity savoring
of personal scandal except for grave
reason, would probably have Impaired
the usefulness and dignity of a repre
sentative of the state of Oregon, the
article was withheld
The impression has been gaining
ground recently that the Second Con
gressional District had made a mis
take in electing Mr. Lafferty to con
gress; and that Impression will not
be relieved either by exposure of this
painful affair or by Mr. Lafferty'a ex
traordlnary explanation. Mr. Lafferty
says that he tiad sent out about one
hundred cards of admission to the
House gallery and among others he
included Miss Kubel, whom he did
not know; but even If ninety-nine
were forma or .perfunctory notes to
friends or acquaintances, the sinister
