Official City ana Count Paper.
The action Is of significance in that
it shows a desire on the part of the
republican machine to bring about
the defeat of Governor Wilson at
Baltimore. If Wilson Is the wrong
man for the democrats to name,
considering the matter from the
standpoint of the republican organi
zation, it is obvious he should be al
right for democrats, especially for
those of the progressive element.
AX OCEAN' FERRY.
The builder who first bridged
Niagara's gorge,
Before he swung his cable,
shore to shore,
Sent out across the gulf his
venturing kite
Bearing a slender cord for un
seen hands
To grasp upon the further cliff
and draw
A greater cord, and then a
greater yet;
Till at the last across the
chasm swung
The cable then the mighty
bridge in al
So we send our little timid
thought
Across the void, out to God's
reaching hands
Send out our love and faith to
thre"ad the deep
Thought after thought until the
little cord
Has greatened to a chain no
chance can break.
And we are anchored to the
.Infinite!

A SNiXIKICAXT ACTION.
An incident that occurred in the
national house of representatives on
March 26 is of particular interest in
Oregon in view of the near approach
of the presidential preference prim
ary. On that day Congressman
Vann. republican leader, secured
consent to have read upon time al
loted himself, an Interview purport
ing to be from William Randolph
Hearst which had shortly before ap
peared in the Washington Post, It
was an attack by Hearst on Woodrow
Wilson and the following introduc
tory "paragraph shows trie nature of
the diatribe.
"Two firmer presidential candi
dates, Mr. Gaynor, minority mayor of
New York .and Prof. Wilson, oc
casional governor of New Jersey,
have seen fit to accuse me' of re
sponsibility for their political de
mise," aid William Randolph Hearst,
who arrived In Washington yesterday.
The Hearst screech against Gover
nor Wilson was Inserted in the rec
ord by the republican chairman so
that the thing might be used against
Wilson during the campaign for the
democratic nomination. The repub
lican leader said as much at the time.

JOHN I. BROWN A SON. Boon. Ma.
Ocean travel between New York
and the ports of Western Europe has
long been so regular and so safe as
to have fairly earned the tile of
"ferry service." It now seems prob
able that in the near future it will
have the form and substance of such
service as well as the title, says the
New York World. Efforts are beins
made to bring the steamship com
panies so to arrange their sailing
dates that a boat will leave New York
for Europe every day in the week.
The proposed schedule would of
course be of great advantage to the
travelling public. The fact that if a
ship were missed one day another
could be taken on the morrow woulJ
simplify many a problem. The estab
lishment of the ferry system should
eventually force the companies to
give a more nearly equal accommo
dation on all ships and so improve
the travel generally.
There will be of course some deli
cate adjustments to be made in ar
ranging the dates for the different
lines. Sailors do not like to embark
on Friday and a good many travellers
have similar objections. Others do
not like to start on Sunday. Custom,
however, would wear off these pre
judices and the daily ocean ferry
would soon be patronized as imparti
ally as a river ferry. It Is interesting
too that while the ferry would start
every day from New York, no single
port in Europe would have that ad
vantage.
WHY TIIKY DISLIKE HIM.
In the republican primary cam
paign now underway the machine
forces' are supporting Messrs. Mann
and Hinkle for legislative nomina
tions as opposed to Messrs. Peterson
and Oliver. They are showing par
ticular opposition to the re-election
of Representative Peterson and Mr.
Peterson points out the reason for
their opposition.
At the last legislative session Mr.
Peterson, who ran for office as a pro-
giessive, declined to allow certain lo
cal leaders to dictate how he should
vote on the speakership and on sev
eral other issues during the pession.
They wanted him to vote for W.'Lalr
Thompson, the standpat house leader
for speaker, and he declined to do so,
preferring to vote for a progressive
in the f mon of Speaker Rusk. Dur
ing the entire session Representative
Peterson showed commendable Inde
pendence of the machine, refusing to
travel body and soul with any faction
but trying to favor or oppose leg
islative measure entirely according
to the merits of the various bills. In
other words he tried to be a legislator
rather than a member mutely follow
ing orders.
It will be Interesting to see whether
the republican voters of the county
will show their appreciation of such
service by renominating Mr. Peter
son. Do they want a legislator who
will strive to serve the general in
terests of the county or will they sup
plant Peterson with some one more
pleasing to the small coterie of local
politicians who consider themselves
the overlords of the republican party
In Umatilla county?
TWIN EVILS.
There is little choice between the
rabid I. W. W. orator who sneers at
the flag and tries to incite men to
disorder and the rabid trust magnate
who goes on the theory that the
world's riches are for those ,who' get
hold of them regardless of how and
takes "the public be damned" atti
tude when called to account. They
ore twin evils and should be taken
in hand. Of the two evils the bad
trust magnate is the more destruc
tive thought his I. W. W. brother
generally makes himself the more offensive.
Pendleton already has one man up
on the supreme court of the state
and R.'J. Slater will make two.
The gentleman who has been in
duced to enter the race against As
sessor Strain has a hard Job before
him. '
Slow speed in the business section
is a good remedy for auto accidents.
The northwest will forgive the
coal strike. The real peril is that
there manv be trouble in the ice business.
Now for some first class baseball.
PIGS AND ELECTRICITY.
The use of electricity on modern
farms Is very interestingly described
in the current issue of Farm and
Fireside. All sorts of machines, from
feed grinders to churns, are run by
electricity on a good many practical
farms. Of course, not many farm
ers, have put electricity to such ex
tensive use as has E. B. Miner, whose
place Is described an the following
extrace from the article: but hundreds
of great farms In the prosperous Mis
sissippi valley region use electricity
more extensively than city people lm
apine. "Near the village of Orlskany Falls
New York, there Is a one hundred
acre farm belonging to E. Burdette
Miner.
"Six years ago, Mr. Miner, helped
by his sons, dammed a creek, obtain
ing a fall of but six feet. The water
from the dnm waji led alonir a small
canal to the tiny wooden power house
where It Is directed against me Diauen
of a tnrhine water wheel. Belted
to this wheel is the 17-horse power
dynamo. The power plant is k.uuu
feet from the house, necessitating a
transmission line of bare aluminum
wires. Because of this distance the
rilnnr la nllnweil to run night and (lay
without Interruption, requiring only
an occasional oiling wvery duuuiuh
Including the pig-sty. Is now nightly
illuminated by electric light. A
small motor drives the circular saw
fnr rnll!nr firewood nnd turns a
lathe and drill and other machinery
In a near-by machine shop. A z-norse
motor drives a vacuum pump, and
h inMnini nt the house Is done in
a modern way with vacuum cleaners.
A pipe from this same vacuum line
extends to the cow stables and does
the milking with the aid of a vacu
um milking machines, milking twenty-five
cows twice a -day. A half
horse power motor In the dairy room
run. hoth the . separator and the
churn and in the summer time drives
an iM-irtrnti freezer. Even the
grindstone I run by electricity.
"The Miner residence is neatea
vlth five electric heatera which will
keep the house at 75 degrees when it
Is zero outside. There are also sev
eral electric fans, including a ventil
ating fan in the attic. In the kitchen
all the cooking is a one by electricity
fnr a fnmllv nf from five to ten. Here
a small motor does all the hard work
of the kitchen ana is also usea to
drlvo the xewlnir machine. The wa
ter system for the house and barn is
automatically supplied from a motor
driven pump."
THE REALM FEMININE
Easter Book-Murks.
Book-marks for bible and prayer
book should be three-stranded. Take
three pieces of white ribbon, three
eights inch wide, and Join at the top
in a tiny nickel or silver ring, which
should be buttonholed In white silk.
On the end of each ribbon fasten neat
ly a small, flott silver anchor and
cross and-heart. These may be pro
cured at almost any Jewelry store. If
these are not available, the designs,
which should be not quite one-half
Inch high, may be cut out of stiff cel
luloid, and colored, gilded, or silver
ed. Other suitable Easter book-marks
are made in the pattern of a sim
ple small flower a snowdrop or sin
gle violet, for Instance, cut out of
celluloid or still parchment. The -design
should be so arranged that the
flower-head is cut double (as describ
ed in Easter cards), then bent over,
so as to lie flat on either side of the
top of the leaf to be marked. The
stem may extend down into the book
single! on one side only. If the cellu
loid is warmed very slightly, It may
be readily bent. Care must be taken
not to hold It near a flame, however,
as it is combustible.
Easter Favors and Gifts.
Pretty Easter favors may be made
in the form of small birds' nests
Prick an egg carefully a row of fine
needle pricks around its middle, so
that the upper and lower half can
be broken apart evenly without
cracking. Use the round end for the
nest. Cover It . Inside and out with
a thin coating of heavy glue, and
press to it, inside and out, fine moss
es. Set this inner nest in a larger
nest of moss, and put several small
candy eggs in it.
Chocolate ami Maple Easter Eggs.
Children and grown, people alike
delight in these Easter dainties. Make
a circular opening at the large end
of an egg,' by means of small needlw
pricks. "Lift off the small pricked
circle and empty the-. contents of the
egg. Rinse and wash the egg, allow
ing it to dry Place the egg carefully
pointed end down. In sand or saw
dust, to keep it upright and fill with
melted ma pie sugar or melted sweet
chocolate, into which almonds, cut up
very small, have been stirred. A very,
very, little water should be mixed
with, the chocolate, and the whole
should be heated in a double boiler.
Fill to the very top. When the egg
Is cool, color and decorate it in some
pretty way.' Paste a scrap-book pic
ture over the opening at the top.

For sale, twelve ""head good work'
horses. For further particulars ad

miles west of Helix.
VOTES FOR WOMEN
The parlor suffrage meeting held
at the home of Mrs. Lee Moorhouse,
vice president of the Oregon Federa
tion of Women's clubs, called out a
representative audience of club wo
men. Mrs. Wade brought greetings
from the Friday Morning club of
Los Angeles, a club whose members
were the leading factors in promot
ing the work for equal suffrage in
Southern California, and read, by re
quest, an address given before the
club, by Mrs. Serrand Rymon that was
in l.o Aneeles. as the
sanest, ablest and most unanswerable
argument for equal surrrage given
during the campaign.
Those present at the meeting hope
this address may be heard soon by
as large an audience as can be gath
ered In the city.-
The consensus of opinion was that
u ih women' of Pendleton would
cooperate In every way with the Po
litical Equality league aireaay torm
j in the .itv. The various phases of
work will be looked into, and though
committees it Is hoped mat many
.nn,.!, will be enlisted In the
active personal work needed If our
campaign i to be brought to a suc
cessful ending.
irifr veara aco there was not a
woman's club in existence. Today
there are more than eight thousand
of them, with a total membership in
excess of two million women. It was
contended a generation or two ago
thut women had no capacities for or
ganization or for collective work.
What weight has an argument today
based upon that contention?
In truth, we are today the witnesses
not only of an evolution, but a revo
lution, in the soclul and economic
status of the woman. And what is true
in reference to woman Is true also in
reference to our nation as a while.
Seventy years ago New York had a
population of a bare three hundred
thousand, and that was three times
greater than that of any other city of
the time. Chicago was a mere vil
lage, with four or five thousand in
habitants Although there were but
five cities with a population of more
than fifty thousand. Today, we have
fifty cities with a population of more
than a hundred thousand; we have
a hundred cities with a population of
over fifty thousand, and we have sev
enteen cities with u population great
er than that of New York In 1841.
These tremendous increases in city
population, these vast aggregating of
people In hundreds of places, togeth
er with the changes wrought by in
vention and the onmove of national
progress and -expansion. Involve so
cial and political problems wholly be
yond the concepts of our forefathers.
We have to deal today with conditions
absolutely unique. The city, for ex
ample, is no longer a mere political
corporation with Interests wholly dis
tinct and apart from personal and
domestic problems. In point of fact
the modern city is a big, co-operative
housekeeping business.
One after another the duties that
formerly belonged to the Individual
households have become the common
duties of the community the care and
protection of children; their schooling
and physical training; the regulation
of morals and health, and cleanliness;
the supervision of food, the Inspection
of buildings, the prevention of dis
ease, the regulation of drainage and
sanitation, and a score of other like
duties. AH of these are essentially
domestic. Primarily, they all relate
to the welfare of the child, the home
the family; and yet more and more
are they becoming the chief concern
of the city and of the nation; and
more and more It Is ecomlng evident
that in the proper management of
these duties we require the assistance
of the woman. For we must remem
ber that these are really women's du
ties. They have merely been trans
ferred from the individual family to
the bigger municipal family.
From the dawn of human society,
from the twilit days of the cave-dweller,
the woman has been the prime
minister of the home. It Is she who
has ever looked after the care and
the upbringing of the child, the prep
aration of the food, the health of tho
household, the comforts and the
pleasures of the home, the sanctity of
the hearth, and the spiritual and mor
al welfare of the family. And to her
these duties are not merely tradition
al, not merely the result of custom
and habit, but they are as Instinctive
as those of motherhood Itself, for are
they not indeed all embraced In the
natural and far-reaching functions of
the mother? That there has come
a radical change In our domestic con
ditions does not affect the natural In
stincts of the woman. She Is still the
woman, with the self-same powers
and capabilities and desires. The
only difference Is tbat today these
functions must find their expression
under different conditions, under dif
ferent auspices. And that Is precisely
what Is happening. With the constant
lessening of Individual household du
ties, with the decrease In the site of
families, and with the Increased effi
ciency and capacity of women, the
alert, progressive woman of today
finds her housekeeping instinct ex
tending to the municipality and her
instinct of motherhood to the children
of the whole community; of the whole
nation. She Is still maternal, and will
ever remain so, and the home is still
her sphere.
