SWAT THAT FLY.
Now summer's here,
Cast up your eye,
And strike to death
The roaming fly;
Where'er you find
Him spare him not,
But join the clans
That swat, swat, swat.
If twenty times
As big, he'd be
Wiped out as man's
Worst enemy.
Because he's small,
We let him go
To fill our graves
Before we know.
A million germs
He freely brings
As on our food he
Crawls and sings.
Tis time we learned
Or foolish lot
And saved our lives
With swat swat, swat.
Pray say no more
Of man's advance
Until he leaves
Much less to chance.
No longer with
False ego sigh,
But get you up
And swat that fly.
grand lodge committee stood for such
a proceeding. Pendleton Elks have
been working for months to make a
big showing In Portland during the
Brand lodge session. They will take
a trninload of horses to Portland and
have" several hundred mounted men
in the parade. It will be a showing
worth while and In view of what Pen
dleton lodge No. 288 Is planning It
would be like slapping Its member
ship In the fact for Portland people
or anyone else to pull off a Round
up In Portland during the grand
lodge session.
Nor will Messrs Raley and CJwlnn
allow the Rodeo organization to do
the work. Those men are the origi
nal heroes and organizers of the
Round-up and are Interested In its
continuous welfare. Furthermore Mr
Raley last fall had strong local hack
ing for the mayorallty and came
within a few votes of being elected
over a man who is politically Invinc
ible in Pendleton. Roy Raley Is not
the man to go back on Pendleton now
and by doing so cause sorrow to the
hundreds of friends who fought for
him and voted for him last Decem
ber.
HARD TO STOP IT.
CORRUPTING THE GENERALS,
Daily it becomes more evident that
the troubles In the Roosevelt army
come from the personal ambitions of
several big Roosevelt leaders. Among
the colonel's generals are several
very able young statesmen. They
are progressive and popular and
seemingly have bright futures before
them. None of them, however, are
cf presidential calibre and they would
not be considered for a moment in
this connection were it not for the
fact It Is excellent politics for the re
actionaries to "jolly them up" and by
irflating them with their own import
ance bring on the disruption of the
Roosevelt forces.
Most conspicuous among the Roos
evelt leaders are -Hadley and Borah.
Borah was wanted for temporary
chairman and throughout the early
stages of the battle he was every
where acclaimed as one of the great
men of the party and a progressive
loader. But Borah has never favored
a bolt and so he could not be relied
upon by the Rooseveltians as a
thick and thin fighter.
Upon Governor Hadley greater
hopes were placed. He was the floor
leader of the Roosevelt forces and It
Feems plain he was counted upon to
go the limit. But when the Taftites
adroitly rang the bells for Hadley's
own nomination for president, he lis
tened to the music and his zeal for
Roosevelt flagged. Yesterday he fa
vored waiting for "further develop
ments" and would not say that he
would walk out of the convention in
the event the machine stood solidly
by the fraudulent convention roll.
What the final outcome will be is
Rtill in doubt of course. But at this
time it looks like Waterloo for the
colonel and If such It proves to be
the defeat may be charged more than
anything eLe to Marshal Key.
LOYAL TO PENDLETON.
In standing loyally by the people
of Pendleton in protecting this city's
right to the Round-up the Portland
Elks, Commercial Club and leading
business men like Julius Meier have
taken the action expected by the East
Oregonian. They take the broad,
generous policy of declaring they will
countenance nothing that looks like
at, Infringement on Pendleton's great
fchow. It is the same attitude that
-was taken before and Is typical of the
Portland spirit of recent years.
The attitude taken by Portland Is
very gratifying to Pendletonlans. Lo
cal people have gone to heavy ex
Tense and have done a vast amount
of work to make the Round-up a suc
cess. Naturally they resent any move
towards pulling off a show In Portland
purporting to be like the Round-up.
It would have been particularly dis
courteous to Pendleton had the Elk?
In the belief that "the kissing habit
Is a blot on our civilization, and a
menace to health and decency," the
Milwaukee Physicians' association is
reported to be preparing a bill to
abolish the practice.
Science has done and can do many
wonderful things, but we fear Ic can
not, evpn when backed by al' tne
power of the state, abolish kissing,
comments the Chicago Record-Herald.
It may thrust kissers into jail;
it may fine them heavily! It may even
convince the public that the practice
is dangerous to health, but kissing
will go on, until all persons become
cotdly scientl.'ic, swayed at all times
by the Intellect rather than Impulse.
Doctors, doctors, why not rest con
tent with advising rather than try
compelling?
There are nations that do not kiss
but that is not because of laws
Doubtless some diseases are com
municated by kissing, and the kissing
of babies and young children on the
mouth ought not to be tolerated, but
we fear the policeman would be of
little avail against fond but foolish
parents, admiring friends, and old
fashioned relations in suppressing the
practice. As for the kisses of lovers,
who could or would stop them?
It is apparent that some of the col
onel's followers have been fair weather
friends. They were very strong for
Roosevelt when they thought he
could win but they don't like the looks
of the "last ditch."
June showers are generally very
welcome but this year Jupiter P.
would confer a favor on Umatilla
ccunty by curbing his efforts. ,
Besides it has been proven several
times that it is Impossible to can a
show like the Round-up.
Now Baltimore is beginning to siz
zle.
THEN THEY HIT UP THE SIRUP.
While on a western tour in connec
tion with certain investigations of the
committee on Indian affairs. Senator
Carroll S. Page of Vermont happened
to get In conversation with a man at
Ashland, Wis.
"From Vermont?" chuckled the
man. "Why, I was born at Swanton,
Vt."
"So 'was I," said the senator.
"My father ran a Btore on Mer
chant's row in Swanton."
"So did mine," replied the Vermont
senator.
"My father dealt In hides and wool.'
"So did mine," echoed the senator.
"My father was a member of the
firm of Page, Sanborn and Co."
"So was mine," cried Senator Page,
with a twinkle in his eye. "Shake!"
And they "shook" heartily.
In this unexpected way the sons of
the old Vermont partners had met
after forty years, and tradition has it
that they went off quietly arm in
arm for a feast of maple sirup, in
memory of child hood days at Swan
ton in the old Green Mountain state.

r
VOTES FOR WOMEN
That the interest of the local wo
men In political equality is growing,
as the time goes by, wua demonstrat
ed at the last meeting of the Political
Equality league. About sixty women
were present, with a sprinkling of
voters. The women are glad to wel
come voters, always, at their regular
or Bocial meetings, but they fully
realize the fact that unless the wo
men of Oregon are alive to' the issue
Involved In the coming election, the
men, as a rule, will not make very
strenuous efforts to vote for the am
endment. Far more than the women, the
men have been labored with in all
the former suffrage campaigns in
this state. They, the Intelligent, sub
stantial, upright citizens of Oregon,
are not needing any further argu
ments to convince them of the right
and Justice of the question. All that
is needed at this time Is to show the
voters that their mothers, wives, sis
ters and daughters are asking for
equality before the law, and so, when
the attendance of the women Increas
es two or three hundred per cent at
the league meetings, it shows that the
real work Is being done.
The address of Mr. Mllnes was the
feature of the evening, eloquent, for
cible and convincing. Mr. Mllnes In
quoting St. Paul, did not choose the
old quotations that tne antis always
give us, and that made an indignant
young- woman upon one occasion say
that "she believed, from all that she
had heard, that St. Paul was no gen
tleman." but he quoted Instead the
injunction of the great apostle to
"help those women,'' and it was much
more to the point.
Mrs. C. B. Wade will entertain the
Political Equality League and Its
friends next Tuesday afternoon from
3 to 5, at the home of Mrs. B. S.
Burroughs, corner of Jefferson and
Washington streets.
GENEROSITY IN TEXAS.
It happened in Amarilla, Texas, at
hotel where a traveling man from
Kansas City was staying for a few
days. He wore one of those little
fried-egg hats that made him look
like a freshman. A Texas ranchman
had come to town on business and
had taken a few drinks and had be
come quarrelsome. A good friend
was hovering near to see that he did
not get into any serious trouble.
As the drummer passed through
the hotel lobby and started up the
stairs, the Texan spied him.
"Hey, there" he called out boldly.
"Come back here.''
The drummer looked amazed and
paused, but did not retrace his steps.
"Come here, fellow don't you hear
me?" loudly repeated the old rancher.
The guardian friend touched his
arm and said: "Now, Bill, don't start
anything, like that here. That fellow
was minding his own business, and
you let him alone and keep out of
trouble."
The old Texan leered at him scorn
fully. "Say," he replied, "I wasn't
starting any trouble. I just want to
take that feller out and buy him a
hat." Kansas City Star.
Pl'ZZLEl) STATESMEN.
Wnen the late David B. Henderson
was made speaker of the house one of
his first acts of patronage was to se
cure a consular appointment for one
of his political henchmen, a member
of the Iowa state senate.
The legislature was m session when
the telegram was received from
Speaker "Dave" at Washington:
"Have secured your appointment as
consul to the Falkland Islands."
In the midst of noisy congratula
tions by the senator's friends came
suddenly the question from some rude
materialist:
"Where in thunder are the Falk
land islands?"
Where indeed! Alas, no man in
the Iowa legislature knew. New
York Sun.
ABSENT TREATMENT SAVED HIM
The expert medical witness had
Just descended from the stand when
a recess was announced In the crim
inal court and so he paused for a
few moments to chat with Judge
Ralph S. Lantshaw, who dearly de
lights in twitting the medicos.
"Whenever I see a doctor on the
stand," related the Judge, "I am for
cibly reminded of an experience when
I was an assistant prosecuting attor
ney many years ago.

"A storekeeper on East Xinth street
was shot by robbers when he refused
to open his cash drawer." Four bullets
found him for their mark and when
officers arrived on the scene he was
lying" on the floor, dead to all out
ward appearances. Doctors, who had
hurried to the store, took a look at
him. shook their heads and went
away. Not one of them offered to
probe for the bullets.
"And do you know," smiled the
judge to "the doctor, "that was what
saved him. The storekeeper recover
ed and is in business to this day. He
still carries the bullets, one of them
in his head. Xow what would have
happened to him doctor, If they had
probed for the bullets?"

A woman entered Cossitt library
the other day and solicited the assist
ance of a desk clerk.
"I am searching for a book called
'The Dentist's Infirmary,' " she said.
"The president of our literary, club
told me to get it."
" 'The Dentist's Infirmary?' " re
peated the clerk with a rising inflec
tion, vainly trying to associate such
a book with a study class.
"Yes," replied the woman. "It's
about devils and angels and such like."
The light of understanding dawned
on the puzzled face of the clerk.
"Oh, you mean 'Dante's Inferno.' "
