who
There was once a ni
smiled,
Pecause the day was bright,
Because he slept at night.
Because God gave him sight
To gaze upon his child;
Because the distant sun
Pniiled on the earth, he smiled.
He smiled because the sky
Was high above his head,
Because the rose was red,
Because the past was dead!
He neer wondered why
The Lord had blundered so
That all things have to go t
The wrong way here below
The overarching sky.
Because he lived he smiled.
And did not look ahead
With bitterness or dread.
But nightly sought his bed
As calmly as a child.
And people called him mad
For being always glad
With such things as he had,
And shook their heads and
smiled.

TAKING HOLD.
Some time ago the East Oregonian
made a humble suggestion bearing
upon how presidential elections should
and should not be financed. Along
with others this paper resents the
use of enormous sums of Wall street
money In order to influence the se.
lection of the head of this nation. It
is a bad plan to allow the steel trust
or any other trust or any group of
trusts to wage a personally conducted
campaign in behalf of any man. It
Is a system that does not promote the
selection as president of a man who
will serve the people but instead the
lection of a man who will satisfy
the interests that provide the funds
to give life and strength to his can
didacy. So the East Oregonian suggested
that a simple solution to the diffi
culty may be had in the form of a
law by congress appropriating money
with which to meet the legitimate ex
penses of the actual presidential
campaign that part coming between
the making of nominations by the
principal parties and the date of the
national election and prohibiting pri
vate contributions to the fund of
either party. The chief merits of
the plan are that it would free the
president lrom any obligations save
to the people at large, it would pro
vide a square deal between the presi
dential nominees and would place the
presidential election upon the high
plane where it belongs. All this could
be accomplished and the people
would save money by the change.
The people really pay the campaign
expenses now, though some don't re
alize the fact, and they would be tak
ing on no new. burden. They would
save money .iiecaiuse the expenses of
the campaign would be less than at
present if the expenditures were con
fined to legitimate lines.
Since these suggestions were? first
advanced by the East Oregonian
steps have been taken looking to pre
senting the idea before the national
convention f tht two great political
partii this sununtr. Judge Will R.
King, prominent member of the dem
ocratic delegation to Baltimore en.
dorsea the Idea and proposes to sug
gtst a plank containing the same to
the democratic convention. Thomas
McCusker, La Follette manager In
Oregon and member of the republican
national delegation, plans to do the
same with reference to tae republi
can national convention at Chicago
as is shown by his letter published
elsewhere today.
Whether or not the national con
ventions or either one of them will
adopt planks calling for this reform
U another question. But whether
they do or not it will be a wholesome
thing for the politicians to be think
ing about. It will not be surprising
if the suggestion is taken up. It is
directly in line with other progressive
measures the country U swiftly ad
opting. Some may think the East Oregon
ian, being a small paper, Is very pre
sumptious to offer advice on national
questions of such moment as this. We
may be, but If so it is not the first
time this paper has been presump
tious. Many years ago when politics
in Oregon was of a flavor compared
with which the rresent day brew
seems sweet and pure the East Ore
gonian suggested the adoption of the
Australian ballot. It was the first
paper in Oregon to suggest the re
form and at the time it was -a radi
cal step. But the thing was done. It
is possible the plan of having the peo.
rle themselves finance their own
presidential election may also be ad
opted. 1
Who knows. '
IT HASTENS THE PROCESS.
One of the finest things about the
action of the interior department re
garding the Byers water permit is
that it promises to bring the question
of Indian water, rights to a head and
thus secure an early determination
of those rights by the federal courts.
If the Umatilla Indians are entitled
to use water from the Umatilla river,
under the terms of their treaty with
the government, they are entitled to
know It at once and are entitled to
get the water.
Until the government took drastic
action by citing the milling company
to show cause why Its permit should
not be revoked slow headway was be
ing made towards adjudicating the
reservation rights. Though the point
Involved Is plainly a federal question
the United States atorney for Ore
gon has refused to work the matter
out in the federal courts. He has the
proposition up before the state water
board. It is a time killing arange
ment and can accomplish nothing
save to bar the Indians from their
birthright while they are slowly pass
ing away and meanwhile allowing n
portion of their land to pass to white
ownership.
The reservation rights should be
proven at once so that the Indians
will get the good out cf It. The gov
ernment should not delay because de
lay in trying to establish the rights
may work t the detriment of the In
dians from a legal standpoint, and
because the allotment period will
soon be up and the Indians will get
patents to their land. ,
The Interior department is work
ing along the right line. Keep up
the speed.
It is reported that a butter and egi
combine is being formed in Oregon.
Is It a scheme to- buy eggs when they
are cheap and sell them after they
get high and stale?
Those San Diego "patriots" may
later find out that they have been
teaching the I. W. W.'s bad tricks.
There will be a big wind In Ohio
this week and it may pull some po
litical trees up by the roots.
Once again it is horse and horse
between the Bucks and the Bears.
McCusker likes it even if Barbee
does not.

deep purple scarf patterned with dull
gold threads is handsome, with Its
decorations of gold embroidery at the
ends, supplemented by a handsome
fringe to match the net in color.
No woman with well modeled arms
should lose the opportunity that Is
afforded to her now or displaying
their beautiful outlines beneath a
sleeve of rigid simplicity and semi
transparency, extending from the
shoulder to the wrists. But though
the long sleeve fashion is being ex
tolled, the three-quarter glnds are
not banned by Fashion, who Is far
too sensible a personage to dispense
with them altogether. ,
The odd sleeve also attracts women.
One may be missing altogether, for it
Is stretching a point to concede to a
shower of bead fringe so dignified a
title as sleeve. One chance the
scarf finds of being useful Is as a
supplementary wrap for any sleeve
on chilly evenings.
The touch of black which has done
long service in the cause of beauty is
not entirely absent from the new
toilets, though It is less apparent than
it was. A favorite mode of displaying
it is by means of a scarr of black tulle
to which is assigned the part of a
sash like drapery caught down be
neath a diamond clasp or an enam
eled plaque. v
The top coat is a resource for wo
men as well as for men, and is going
to have a future when tub frocks
come and a coajt Is wanted for occa
sional wear. Tne masculine blazer
will be copied in striped wools and
flannels, and we may expect some
surprising radiant colors for seaside
wear. At the smart race meetings
lace mantelets may be looked for, and
here will be a galaxy of little silken
wraps, half coat, half cape, for ordi
nary smart wear.
Eyelet embroidered batiste is"am
ong the favorite summer materials.
Small bows of black velvet are used
to fasten flat colors of lace or batiste.
Dressy frocks of plain and change
able taffeta are embellished with
ruchlngs, quillings and 'pipings of the
silk.
We see one-sided tunics, the tunic
extending to the hem on one side of
the skirt and on the other Just cover
ing the hips.
Buttons are lavishly used on many
of the frocks.
Bright red Is used to develop some
stunning hats.
Currant red and dark blue is a fa
vorite combination.
Lace trimmings are In some In
stances veiled with tulle.
Narrow belt of velvet ribbon of a
contrasting color are seen.
Fashion's decree is a high "choker."
A GKEAT TERMINAL.
The most wondertul thing about
the new Grand Central terminal sta
tion in New York City is that It Is
built In the identical spot occupied by
the old without interfering with or
even inconvencing traffic. It Is no
unusual thing for railroad engineers
to replace a bridge or other structure
without interfering with traffic; but
such a feat has never before been
performed on so vast a scale. In the
last nine years the engineers have re
moved two hundred old buildings and
twenty-five miles of pipes and sew
ers from the area added to the en
larged terminal, built an entire new
sewer system totake care of the
drainage from the terminal area, re
placed the busiest railroad tunnel In
the world with a new one, took down
an old station and replaced it with a
larger one, sunk the tracks to an av
erage depth of fifty feet below the
surface, largely through rock, and re
placed it with steel and concrete, all
without Injuring a passenger or seri
ously delaying a train.
Another remarkable thing this
greatest of passenger terminals will
cost nothing, or perhaps it would be
more Intelligible to say that while
the entire improvement will cost
$150,000,000 the railroad will get It
back without 'touching its transpor
tation revenues. So vast an Improve
ment in so valuable an area was quite
beyond the means even of two such
big corporations as the New York
Central and the New York, New Ha
ven and Hartford, which will also use
the terminal. So the two companies
aqt-Brandeised the Boston efficiency
prophet himself by burying the en
tire terminal deep In the solid rock,
roofing the excavation with steel and
concrete and building a town over it.
One very large commercial building
twenty stories high ultimately, are
finished up to the seventh story and
occupied as offices by the two rail
road companies. On one corner ad
joining the station will be a twenty
story hotel that will rival any other
In the city in the luxury of Its ap
pointments and the adtitude of its
charges. At the opposite corner on
the Forty-second street frontage will
be another hotel of equal size but with
a rate schedule so modified that it
will not be necessary for the prospec
tive guest to mortgage his farm to
rent a room for a night. An opera
house and a new home for the Na
tional Academy of Design are propos
ed for the town that is to rlsa over
the terminal. Altogether seventeen
city blocks formerly taken up with
unsightly noisy, dirty railroad yards
or cheap structures will be add
ed to the available building aea In the
choicest part of the metropolis, not
to mention a fine broad avenue and
a number of cross streets where such
things did not exist before. Charles

FKOM THE TIIOPICS.
I'm living In a tropic clime,
Where many a beauteous thing
Is the gift of Mother Nature,
But I'm longing for the Spring.
Just to see the apple blossoms,
Pink and white on boughs that
swing
'Neath that bending weight of per
fume In the glory of the Spring!
Just to hear the thrilling music
Of the robins 89 they sing
Wondrous carols, making vocal
all the beauty of the Spring.
Tho I'm living In a country
Where the summer ne'er takes
wing,
All Its beauty cannot charm me
When I'm homesick for the Spring!
