Juet the wish to be kind.
Just the courage to dare
If the world is inclined
To be cold or unfair.
To keep marching along
With a smile or a song
To the splendid reward that
Is waiting somewhere.
Just the strength to be right
Though uncheered and alone.
Just the courage to fight.
Though unarmed, for your

To get up from defeat
With the will to complete
With he world till your night

rented land may be irrigated also.
This is not sarcasm. The East
Oregonian is sincere in its advocacy
of the Indian rights and of irriga
tion upon the reservation. The In
dians are justly entitled to water and
it would be a splendid thing for Pen
dleton to have their rights establish
ed. This paper believes that the
reservation rights should have pre
cedence over the Umatilla extension
and is glad to know that Jn its con
tentions it is receiving support from
unexpected quarters. As to whether
or not these new found friends are
sincere the East Oregonlan is willing
to be shown.

friends to get busy.
over the total amount for the preced
ing years 1902 to 1905. But the lia:
bilities in Wisconsin for the same
years fell of 10. S per cent. In other
words, comparing the four years that
followed the progressive victory of
1305 with the four years that pre
ceded it, the business failures in Wis
consin fell off one-tenth, but for the
whole I'nlted States they increased
o-ie-third."
The plea that progressive legisla
tion hurts business and "drives capr
tal away" is a plea made for the pro-
tt ction of special Interests and It has
bt en worn threadbare. Among people
who think that plea has lost Its force.

THE XEW RECRUITS.
The East Oregonlan is gratified in
deed over the recruits now coming to
its camp with lusty shouts for the
cause of irrigation upon the reserva
tion. For many weeks this paper
stood alone In that fight and had no
support from people who are now
becoming ' strangely active. It is
truly astounding what a change has
come about In certain circles.
Over the altered status of affairs
the Eart Oregonlan rejoices and Is
g?ad. This paper stood for the reser
vation rights when many men scowl
ed and disapproved. It la pleasing
to see their faces brighten and to
hear their voices in the chorus. It
is evidence to the effect the East
Oregonlan has been right In Its po
sition. But If the newcomers in the camp
wish to qualify as true soldiers in the
rause they must do more than merely
shout. They must prove their valor
by means of deeds, not words alone.

sin is Justly entitled to rank as one
I of the most advanced states largely
because of the powerful work done
by Senator LaFoilette and his fol
lowers. The following statement
from the Progressive headquarters
shows how Wisconsin has fared:
"Since 1904 there has not been a
single1' failure among the 507 state
banks in Wisconsin, with 122. 000,000
of capital and surplus. The only fail
ures have been those of three na
tional banks through embezzlement
"During the years 1903 to 1910 the
capital and surplus of all state and
national banks in Wisconsin Increased
54 per cent, whereas for the United
States they increased only 46. ( per
cent.
"The clearing house exchanges for
Milwaukee Increased 117.5 per cent
from 1500 to 1910, whereas for the
United States the Increase was 100
per cent. Milwaukee's Increase was
11 per cent greater than that of Chl-j
cago.
"Judged by commercial failures, J
Wisconsin has prospered better than
the entire country. The total liabil
ities In commercial failures for the
entire United f-tates in the four years,
1906 to 15 OS Increased 33 per cent.
THE CONVENTION CITY.
If the farmers' union wants a per
manent place for Its tri-state conven
tions Pendleton affords the logical lo
cation. This Is the most convenient
ly located city in the inland empire
and It is the greatest railroad cenfr
in the west outside the large cities.
Twenty passenger trains run in and
out of Pendleton every day and they
come from every point of the com1
pass. This is not a way station nor is
i. a branch line town, as is Walla
Walla. Pendleton Is a convenient
point for residents of eastern Ore
gon counties. It is easily accessible
to eastern Washlngtin men and the
people of Idaho all pus. through this
city when they go from one end of
their state to the other.
Pendleton has hotel, restaurant and
rcomlng house accommodations such
as are to be found in no other small
city In this section of the world. Dur
ir.e the three days of the recent
Round-Up Pendleton took care of ap
i,roximately 20.000 strangers who
were within the gates. None of them
went hungry and each night there
were beds untaken. It was a record
that no town In the country can sur
pass.
The farmers can safely vote to
bring not merely their tri-state con
vention but their national convention
here, If they care to" do so. It will
be well cared for If it comes.
Nothing is too big for Pendleton.
Commenting upon the recent city
election in Pendleton the Oregon
Journal says:
"A strong vote of confidence was
given W. F. Matlock, a pioneer citi
zen, in his election Monday as mayor
ct Pendleton. It is the more em
phatic because he had for an oppon
ent a strong and progressive young
business man of high standing in the
city."

"No, s'r," she returned promptly.

BETHLEHEM.
Bethlehem. Bethlehem,
Shimmering afar.
Underneath the sunlight,
Underneath the star,
You are like a precious gem
(Hold and ivory).
Jet upon the morning hills
For the world to see!
Bethlehem, Bethlehem,
With your domes and towers,
Do you ever brood and dream
Through the fleeting hours!
That you have for dadem
What none other knows.
Set upon the morning hills,
Wh'te Judean rose?
Bethlehem,, Bethlehem,
Con-ecrate afar,
O'ad beneath the sunlight,
Blest beneath the star.
You have Him for anadem.
Him to whom men pray.
Born upon the morning hills
That first Christmas day!

HUNTING WITH THE CAMERA.
Thanks to modern science a man
can enjoy U the delights of hunting
nowadays without wetting his hands
with blood. Equipped with a camera
a good lens and various h Ipful de
vices, in which he takes the same
pride as a hunter doe? In his modern
rifle he can bring home mngnlflcent
trophies for the walls of his den with
out doing butcher's work to secure
head or pelt. He can engage In a
war of wits with the wild creatures,
taking a little longer odds no doubt,
for It is far easier to get within shoot
ing distance of game than it Is to get
within camera range and as for the
danger, the man who goes after Hon?
or other ferocious beasts with n cam
era surely requires as much nerve ns
the other man who takes an ursenal
along and murders the unsuspecting
brutes at long range. The hunt for
dangerous animals need not be dis
cussed, however, as the average man
has no chance to Indulge in that
variety of sport. Few of us can afford
the outluy of tlmo and money requir
ed to reach the haunts of the Jungle
beasts, but all of us are near enough
to some bit of woods or flel to go
camera hunting most any day.
That Is one of the beauties of this
coming sport, that afl game is fair
game for the camera. There is no
close season for the man with the
little black box and no limit to his
bag. He requires no hunter's license,
no membership In an expensive gun
clu and ordinarly no guide. In fact
the amateur has a good chance to
perfect himself in the sport without
going very far afield ami this prac
tice, by the way. Is an esst'iitlal. Cam
era hunting must be learned Just the
same as hunting with shot gun or
rifle. The beginner at the sport must
learn how to Judge distance even more
accurately than the marksman. Ho
must study the problems of light and
speed If he is to catch his game on
the wing or running. He must learn
to think quickly and act promptly in
focusing and registering the stop, and
he will find camera target practice
al the less .shy and difficult subjects
near home quite as fascinating as
popping away at tin cans or clay pige
ons with firearms.
Moreover he must study the ways
of wild things quite as carefully as
the man who means to kill theifi, and
approaching them with no murderous
Intent, he Is more likely to learn inti
mately of their habits than the sports
man who is planning to destroy them.
One of the-most fascinating of cam
era sports is a night hunt from a ca
noe. The problem Is to ascertain by
tracks and other signs where game
is In the habit of coming to the wa
ter's edge to drink. There,- after dark
the approach is made to the spot very
stealthily, without noise, and, of
course, with no light in the canoe. The
hunter can be guided only by sounds
and must Judge his distance by the
slight noises mnde by the game, nnd
vhen he believes himself within rango
and has tho camera pointed, the fiash
Is exploded and the whole water's edge
with its background of forest Is sud
denly illuminated.
A good negative of such a scene with
deer or moose starting at tho flash
makes an enlargement which is as
beautiful a thing to hang upon the
library wall us the branching antlers
of the game itself and Is quite as con
vincing a trophy of the owner's skill.
