DISTANT BEAVTY.
I know a land where li ills are
green,
With lovely valleys in between,
Where limpid streams wind to
the sea,
Where song birds carol joyous-
ly;
Where peaceful herds turn,
when the day
Is done, to find the homeward
in spring-
way.
The hedges bloom
time there,
To lend a fragrance to the air;
The roads go up and down the
hills,
And here and there a cottage
A cozy nook among the trees,
As if to make the picture please.
Wild creatures come and go at
will;
The weeks are long, the days 4
are still;
The grass is soft beneath one's
tread;
The clouds are fleecy ' over-
head;
I'd live there if some way were
known
To live on scenery alone.
- S. E. Kiser.
ary election In Illinois the llecord
Herakl had the following to say:
The overshadowing issue at the pri
maries yesterday was Lormtrlsm and
Jack-potism. The republican voters
were not misled or diverted; thoy put
aside minor considerations, and voted
for decency and honesty.
The jack-potters knew at the out
set that they must concentrate their
forces; the good government force
were unfortunately divided, and in
that division the great and only dan
ger lay. During the last fortnight of
the most exciting and chaotic cam
paign in the history of the state the
trend toward Peneen was, however,
strong and unmistakable. KepuMl
can voters realized that the most ef
fective way to crush Lorlmerlsm and
all its works was to nominate the can
didate whom the corruptionists and
bipartisan spoilsmen foueht most des
perately to make their verdict em
phatic and nnchallengeable.
The Peneen victory Is the answer
of honest republicanism in Illinois tc
the campaign of hypocrisy and impu
dent sophistry' carried on by the Lori
merites. The eyes of the nation were
on Illinois, and today honest men
throughout the country will rejoice;
the United States senate will take no
tice and read In the returns a pop
ular demand for moral treatment of
a fundamental moral issue.
There is no room for misapprehen
sion or controversy.' Illinois repub
licanism is determined to purge Itself
and keep the bipartisan jackpotters
and traffickers in senatorial seats out
of the executive mansion and the gen
eral assembly. v
SHOW THEM A WEIXTOME.
People disagree in politics and
Pendleton has its full share of such
disagreement. But there is one sub
ject upon which the people of this
city are pretty well together and they
should be together. One and all we
are imbued with the idea that. when
visitors come to this city especially
in large numbers for conventions
they should be adequately cared for
and entertained. '
These remarks are prompted by an
appeal made today in behalf of the
Sunday school workers who are to
be here Thursday for their annual
state convention. It will be a big
gathering. There will be some 400 or
500 people present, it is estimated,
and there will be speakers from all
over the nation. But the coming
meeting has attracted little attention.
It is doubtful if the majority of lo
cal people know it is to be held and
seemingly preparations for the ac
comrrrodation and entertainment of
the visitors Viave been neglected
Whose fault this has been the East
Oregonian does not know and wont
attempt to say. It does not matter
anyway. The essential thing is that
the convention has been overlooked
and that there is still time to make
up for our shortcomings If we but get
busy.
Pendleton is the convention city of
eastern Oregon. It has the reputation
of being the best small city in the
Btate for convention purposes. That
because we have great railroad facil
ities, good hotel and restaurant ac
commodations and because the town
usually "makes a fuss" over those
who come here for convention pur
poses. It Is a good reputation to
hare.
The time for the Sunday school
convention is almost at hand and it is
too bad attention was not called to
the matter sooner. But a good live
committee from the Commercial club
could do wonders in a few days. The
Commercial club is in the finest shape
it has ever been and if the organi
zation takes the matter up "the vis
itors can be given such a welcome as
will warm their hearts towards Pen
deton and send them homeward with
praise for our people good and bad.
It should be done.
PECULIARITIES.
The primary election developed
some peculiar results and they are
hard to understand. Republcans vot
ed strongly for Roosevelt- yet in the
senatorial election they turned down
the most conspicuous progressive can
didate and nominated the former Taft
chairman. Judge Lowell, the most
deserving man in the race, ran third
throughout the state.
In Portland the voters covered
themselves with glory or something
else by renominating Lafferty. From
that one might well conclude they
are a bad lot down there and don't
care for decency. YeS, they showed
good judgment with reference to the
district attorney's office by nomi
nating; Evans over Fouts and Camer
on, h
In this county the voters showed a
decided independence of the organi
zation when it came to presidential
votes yet they swallowed Hinkle and
Mann, for legislative nominations.

EVERYTHING TO EAT
THE REALM FEMININE
The nomination of Ben W. Olcott
as secretary of state was a fine trib
ute to that capable official and it was
also an endorsement of Governor
West who appointed Olcott to office.
It Is very evident the people like the
manner In which the state adminis
tration handles affairs.
It will be surprising if the Titanic
wreck does not result in a demand by
the public for Atlantic liners that
will be better equipped with life
boats even if at the sacrifice of speed.
East Oregon at least will have a
creditable man for congressman and
he Is no standpatter either.
MEXICAN MANNERS,
AUAIXST LOIIIMKKISM.
Commenting upon the recent prim-
Francis I. Madero. president of
Mexico, is a small man and somewhat
sensitive on the subject. Not long
ago Madero and his cabinet were pho
tographed. Abraham Gonzales, sec
retary of state, is a very tall man and
stout, and he was required to stand
next to Madero when the picture was
taken.
Madero lifted his eyes to the top
of the head of the great Gonzales, ob
served the difference in stature and
coughed slightly.
Then he said: "I feel that my size
will not show to advantage unless we
are seated."
"Tour excellency," replied Don
Abraham, "if you could stand on
your wisdom we should all be dwarfs."
"Well said," Madero returned, "pro
vided you did not stand on your cour
tesy at the same time."
And the cheers of the onlookers
were mingled with the hoarse cries of
the revolutionists. Saturday Evening

A STARTLING STATEMENT.
A gentleman once told a lady ac
quaintance that he was descended
from John Alden and Priscilla. The
lady's daughter, who had been recent
ly studying "The Courtship of Miles
Standlsh," overheard, and, turning to
him an astonished face, queried,
"What, from both?" April Llppin-

In drawing threads for Mexican
work or hemstitching, it saves much
time and trouble to draw the thread
from the middle of the space first;
after this two threads, one on each
side of the drawn one, may be pulled
out 'at once.
Lamb's wool shoes in rubber shoes
will keep the feet warm when one is
outdoors a long time. Get those
soles which come for bedroom slip
pers. Besides keeping the feet warm
they will keep them dry should the
heels of the rubber shoes leak.
Before beginning to embroider the
edges of towels, outline the edge of
the scallops with a small stitch done
on the sewing machine. The button
holing covers the stitch perfectly and
gives a very firm edge that is unob
tainable in any other way.
If you are troubled with rats, try
the following: Put on a board or
shingle a little mound of dry lye, about
a teaspoonful. Mix enough molasses
with the lye to moisten it; then pour
just a little more over the top. Rats
love molasses and will eat the lye un
knowingly. '
To open a stubborn fruit Jar, invert
the top of the jar in hot water (boil
ing hot, but not boiling), taking care
that the water Is not deep enough to
touch the glass. The principle is to
expand the metal top. Then open as
usual. A minutfe or two Is sufficient;
should it remain In too long the glass
would also be expanded.
An asbestos pad for the table may
be madtt In this way: Get enough as
bestos paper to cover the table with
double thickness. From a couple ot
old sheets cut two pieces the size of
the table. Baste the asbestos paper
between them and quilt It on the sew
ing machine, using a long stitch. This
is necessary, as the paper tears and
pulls apart easily. Put this pad on
the table and under your silence cloth,
and there will be no marks on the
polhised surface by hot dishes.
Do no throw away vinegar In
which homemade cucumber pickles
have been preserved. Keep it and use
It in salad dressing, Instead of the or
dinary vinegar. The flavor Is deli
cious and one that cannot be gained
In any other way.
To save the top of a stocking from
being worn out by the supporter fast
ening, attach a small brass ring to
a piece of tape and sew the tape to
the stocking. Clasp the supporters
through the rings, using rings that
will not allow them to slip through.
To tell oleomargarine from pure
butter heat a small lump of the for
mer in an iron spoon over the flame
of a lamp. If it sputters like grease
and water, it is oleogarmarlne. Pure
butter will simply boil with little pro
test and produce an abundance of
foam.
The very best remedy for a bruise
is butter. Whenever one of the chil
dren has a fall or knock of any kind,
apply butter. This relieves the pain,
prevents swelling and keeps the hurt
place from turning black and blue.
It Is a very simple salve and one that
is always in the house.
Clothes props kept in place where
they can always be found In good
condition on washing days, is easily
accomplished by following this plan
Fasten two loops of stout cord or
leather against the wall of the house
homewhere near the laundry, one
placed high and the other low.
Through these loops s Ip the poles as
soon as they are no longer needed.
Many housewives believe in boiling
new earthernware before using it, as
this effectually toughens and hard
ens it. This is particularly effica
cious in the care of ordinary brown
kitchen ware, the articles being placed
in a large pan of cold water which Is
then brought slowly to the boil. Aftei
being allowed to boll for ten minutes
remove the pan and allow the water
to cool before taking out the ware.
FROM THE PEOPLE
WELCOME THE VISITORS.
Appeal Made For Attending to Big
Sunday School Gathering,
Editor East Oregonian:
Will you please grant me space to
appeal to the civic pride of the people
of Pendleton and ask welcome and
support of the State Sunday School
Convention which assembles In this
city on Thursday morning of this
week. It is expected there will be
gathered from 300 to 500 delegates
from all portions of Eastern Oregon,
and from Portland, with distinguished
speakers from the east. The men and
women who will be here are leaders
In the moral and religious activities
of the state, an.l the impression they
receive here will count large in the
good or bad reputation of our city.
For some reason little interest is
manifested. If It were a round-up or
a commercial gathering, the men of
the city would have long since been
ready, and a hearty welcome and high
honors would be showered on our vis
itors. Let me ask the men and wo
men of Pendeton to open their homes
to the delegates, meet them at the
trains, and attend the convention
sessions. Upon the program are peo
pt of nation-wide fame.
Respectfuly,
MRS. A. S. LOWELL.

AN EPITAPH AD.
There is a Philadelphia man who Is
an authority on epitaphs, serious and
otherwise "otherwise," for, as every
one knows, many are unconsciously
funny. "But," says the Phlladelphlan,
"It Is not often that one encounters
an epitaph that is meant to carry a
business advertisement. Such a one,
however, evlsts in an Ohio cemetery.
It was the happy idea of the widow
of a man named McConnell a partner
in an inductrial concern known as
McConnell & McCumber.
"It appears that, not long after the
decease of her husband, Mrs. McCon
nell married Mr. McCumber, her late
husband's business associate.
"The epitaph is as follows: 'Sacred
to the memory of Michael McConnell,
for twenty years the senlar partner
of the firm of McConnell-& McCum
ber, now McCumber & Company. "
