All are architects of fate;

Nothing useless is or low;

prepared by this great remedy, are
In a bealtby condition to meet the
time with the least possible suffering
and danger. Mother's Friend la
recommended only for the relief and
comfort of expectant mothers; it is in
no sense a remedy for various llliH
but Its many yeara oi success, ana
the thousands of endorsements re
ceived from women who have used it
are a guarantee of the benefit to be
derived from its use. This remedy
does not accomplish wonders but sim
ply assists nature to perfect its work.
Mother's Friend allays nausea, pre
vents caking- of as
the breasts, and ITlDlrltPfi
tion in republican ranks there is op
portunity for the democratic party in
the United States. The expression
i.i frequently heard these days that
the next president will probably be
a democrat. There are some excel
lent reasons for that belief.
But whether or not the democrat
ic party goes into power and whether
or not it will accomplish good if it
does is going to depend much upon
its course during the next three
months. Historically the democratic
party is the party of the common peo
ple. It was the belief of Thomas
Jefferson, founder of democracy in
the United States, that the people
may be trusted. "When our govern
ment was founded he took an ad
vanced stand a radical stand it was
considered then but events since that
time have proven Jefferson was right.
The American people are fitted for
self government. The evils that ar
ise in our political life come not so
much from too much democracy as
from excessive restrictions upon the
popular will.
The greatest political questions
now before the American people are
those pertaining to direct legislation,
direct nominations and the recall
These things have become important
because it has been conclusively
proven that when the people act on
ly indirectly as they must do under
a strictly representative government
their will is often thwarted and their
interests neglected. Long ago Plu
tocracy learned how to have its way
through the instrumentality of pro
fessional politicians. The machine
politicians of the country have been
the right arm of Special Privilege and
through that arm the masters of
great wealth have shaped the course
of government largely to suit them
selves. I;irect legislation and direct
nominations tend to break their hold
on affairs and to permit of govern
ment in behalf of the general pub
lic. That is why these reforms are
so bitterly opposed by those who stand
for things as they are and who want
no change.
In view of the historic teachings
of the democratic party It might al
most be taken for granted that the
party favors the extension of direct
legislation and direct nominations.
But there is some division within the
party upon the subject and if Pluto
cracy can do so the opponents of
more direct government will be plac
ed in control of the party, thus stul
tifying the party and weakening it
before the people.
At the national convention at Bal
timore in June the country will be
shown to what extent the democratic
party is now the party of political
advancement to what extent it stilt
faith of Jefferson. If It
! still the party of the people It will
adopt a platform that will ring strong
and clear In favor of popular rule
and it will name a candidate for pres
ident who stands fearlessly for such
government. If it cannot do that it
had better quit and die because there
will then be little excuse for its ex
istence and its continued life under
such conditions would be only a
mockery and a reproach upon the
name of its illustrious founder. '

IMPROVING.
That the efforU put forth by many
local people, some councilmen in the
number, to secure lower rates and
better service from the Pacific Pow
er & Light company and that criti
cisms of the trust by this paper have
brought results was again shown last
night when the council entered into
its new street lighting contract.
Under the terms of the new contract
the city may annul the agreement
any time it installs a municipal plant
and furthermore arc lights will be
provided for at a price of $5.50 per
month instead of $7 per month form
erly charged. It will mean a saving
of J 1.50 per month on each arc.
Evidently it pays to complain.
Either that or else the water of the
Walla Walla river now charges les
than it did for flowing down hill.
Which is it?
However, if Pendleton can secure
a municipal electric plant under the
right circumstances it will be pos
sible to still further Improve conditions.
Pendleton maae a splendid move
in purchasing the Round-up park
and the city will not go wrong in do
ing much towards enlarging and im
proving the tract. , '

A PLEA.
Ah. let them sink deep into sin,
To shame the home that gave them
birth.
It will not matter then to you.
When you are dead, and entered In
The endless sleep; what happens up
on earth.
And all. forgotten are the things you
do.
It will not matter much the song
Of birds shall ring the flowers rare
Shall give their perfume to the sky
The slightest thing if boys go wrong.
And for their souls shall we not of
fer prayer,
Ari ask His aid The Kuler The
Most High.
O Men; the great mistake of life
Is building for yourselves alone.
Without a thought of others needs.
So, for yourselves you strain in strife
And leave the Boys, a prey to the
unknown
To sink, tightly grasped by sin the
answer pleads.
A STUDENT.
IlY THE SIX POWEU.
The sandy and sun-baked waters of
the Nile, the arid lands of the Texas
Panhandle, the nitrate fields of Chile,
the deserts of Africa. In short, those
dried out portions of the earth which
for centuries have resisted the ef
forts of the farmer to be reclaimed
by the very thing that has made them
desolati the sun.
There was shipped recently from
Philadelphia to Egypt the first sec
tion of the first sun-power plant ever
invented and put to practical use.
Thi9 Is not the experiment of a
dreamer but the completed and test
ed work after many months of prac
tical use in Tacony, a suburb of Phil
adelphia of Frank Shuman, of Ta
cony. Nor is this wonderful plant be
ing sent to Egypt haphazard; it is go
ing to fill an order of the Egyptian
government, an order given after a
board of expert commissioners had
spent months at the Tacony plant as
special investigators for the khedlve.
It is backed by British capital, placed
only after the riiost exhaustive inves
tigation of the practical use of tiie
sunrpower plant.
The Egyptian order was the first
but not the only one which has been
placed In the past several months.
With the assurance from the khe
dive's commissioners and from the
English financiers, orders have begun
to pour in from every section of the
globe until Mr. Shuman has found it
necessary to begin the erection of- a
plant to make sun-power plants. The
work on thi9 plant is starting now in
Phiadelphia.
This, in brief, is the story of the
ultimate success of years of effort, of
work and of testing, but It gives only
a slight idea,' of the great factor that
has entered' agricultural and manufac
turing development and what this
wonderful sun-ray harnessing machin
ery will do.
The main object of the sun-power
plant Is to product practical power at
the least possible cost. The Idea of
"harnesslnir the sun" has been the
dream of inventors and the desire of
the commercial glunts for years. Some
efforts have met with a certain am
ount of success but not with practical
success. Toys, almost, have been In
vented which, were they used for
commercial purposes would provide
far too costlv to be practicable. It
was toward the commercial use of
the sun-power plant that Mr. Shu
man bent all his efforts.
To achieve his end meant high effl
tiencv at a low cost of installation
and operation and with a length of
service which would not make deter
ioration a factor. It meant a plant
so devised that It would not be u
duly affected by wind and weather
and so divided that if one section
broke down i- migh be repaired with
out affecting the operation of the oth
er sections. The inventor bent his
efforts to produce a plant that would
originally cost no more than abut
twice as much as a steam boiler of
the same horsepower. The 10,000
horsepower plant now being shipped
to Egypt meets this -every requirement.
The plant which has been in opera
tion near Tacony is built low, so low
the winds have never injured it since
it has been in operation. It is expect
ed to operate about eight hours a
day in the Nile country and In this
latitude it has already turned out 3,
000 gallons of water a minute, throw
ing it to a height of 33 feet In
Egypt, it is expected to treble, pos
sibly quadruple, this capacity. From
