TONE OF VOICE.
It is not so much what you say,
As the manner In which you
Bay It;
It is not so much the language
you use,
As the tone In which you con-
vey It.
The words may be mild and
fair,
And the tones may pierce like
a dart;
The words may lip soft as the
summer air,
And the tones may break the
heart.
For words but come from the !
mind
And arrow by study and art;
But the tones leap forth from
the Inner self,
And reveal the state of the
heart.
Whether you know it or not,
Whether you mean or care;
Gentleness, kindness, love and
hate,
Envy and anger are there.
Then would you quarrels avoid,
And in peace and love rejoice;
Keep anger not only out of
your words,
Hut keep It out of your voice.
Home Chat.
Numerous partisan newspapers are
harping strongly on the fact President-elect
Wilson did not
Not ii receive a majority of the
.Minority popular vote and will
Iresllciit. therefore toe what they
term a minority president.
The Chicago Inter-Ocean presumes on
this to suggest that the new admin
istration should attempt tout little in
the way of reform.
There is not the slightest possibil
ity the new president will be Influ
enced toy such advice. It comes from
the wrong quarter. Even were the
thing true it would toe no reason why
it should cause any change in the
attitude of the president-elect. Presi
dent Lincoln did not change his views
because of the fact he was a minor
ity president. He had, tout 39 per
cent of the popular vote when first
elected. But that fact did not change
him into a pro-slavery man. Presi
dent Polk was also a minority presi
dent. He had tout 49 per cent of the
popular vote. Taylor had but 47 per
cent of the vote. Buchanan went in
to office with tout 43 per cent of the
popular vote. Hayes had but 47 per
cent. Garfield had tout 4 8 per cent.
Harrison had but 47 per cent while
Cleveland had but 48 per cent of the
popular vote in 1884 and 46 per cent
in 1892. So it may toe seen so-called
minority presidents have been rather
common.
But in reality Wilson will not be
a minority president. The vote shows
that he would have easily had a ma
jority over anyone candidate had he
been opposed toy but one man. Had
he been running against either Taft
or Roosevelt alone he would have had
a majority. He could have beaten Taft
with ease and Roosevelt with but a
slightly lessened majority. An exami
nation of the returns will show this
to be the case. A fact that many of
the wise ones are overlooking is that
Wilson lost a host of democratic votes
to Roosevelt. With Roosevelt out of
the race he would have had a walk
away against Taft. With Roosevelt
alone as an opponent he would have
drawn the whole anti-Roosevelt re
publican vote as w-ell as his own dem
ocratic vote and could not have failed
of a majority. It is a statement fre
quently made that Wilson won
through republican division. It was
through division he won but not
through the fact there were two tick
ets in the field. The two ticket
handicap is what kept him from a
popular majority. In other words it
hurt him instead of benefiting him.
Look at the figures and you can see
it for yourself.
The talk about Wilson being a mi
nority president should not be taken
at par value.
A speaker before a teachers' in
stitute at Eugene expressed a view of
school athletics that will
The Error be endorsed by a great
Of School many people. His idea
AtliMlcs. is that school athletics as
now practiced means tout
little benefit to students because the
man who really needs development
generally has nothing to do save to
yell for the team.
The trouble with school athletics as
we have it is that the system brings
training for the strong who scarcely
need it and toars the physically frail
who need it badly. Furthermore ath
letic work, particularly football, is of
ten so strenous that harm rather than
benefit results therefrom. Many
promising athletes overdo themselves
and suffer for it throughout their
lives. .
The schools need more physical cul
ture and less athletics. More work
for the mass of students and less
strain on the few who are able to
star. It would be better if champion
ships could 'toe awarded not for what
a team can do but on the strength of
a showing toy the entire student toody.
Some day there will toe reform in this
line and school athletics will be handl
ed with a view to student development
rather than to providing spectacular
exhibitions.
Whether or not Mr. Wheeler's plan
offers the proper solution the East
Oregonlan will
Where Improvement not attempt to
Is Needed, say but It is
certainly a fact
that Pendleton needs reform in the
manner of naming street and num
bering houses. At this time a stran
ger within the city has almost to em
ploy a guide to find his way about.
Under the street naming system fol
lowed it Is hard for even local people
to know where streets are to toe found
without consulting a map. It would
be far better if we had a numerical
or alphabetical system such as may
be found in most places. There is
also need of posting the names of
streets in conspicuous places. There
is need of improvement in the num
bering of houses. With houses num
bered as they are It Is sometimes im
possible for experienced dellverymen
to find a number. The insurance
maps do not coincide with other maps
and confusion results. The need of
Improvement in this direction is par
ticularly urgent because of the Round
up crowds and the fact that Pendle
ton often entertains large numbers of
strangers who come to attend conven
tions. People who send communications
to the East Oregonlan and do not
make their identity known will fail to
see their letters published. It is the
rule that the name of the writer must
always be given though it is not al
ways necessary that the name be pub
lished. This is written for the bene
fit of a member of the socialist faith
who has written a letter that would
be published had the writer tout made
himself known.
It is evident that the bull moose
"angel'.' overlooked Umatilla county
when he distributed campaign funds.
However, the supporters of Roosevelt
made a good showing despite that
fact.
FROM THE PEOPLE
WOULD AMEND THE INITIATIVE.
Judge Lowell Scu-a Need of Public
Discussion,
' Nov. 21, 1912.
Editor East Oregonlan:
Anent the editorial upon abuse of
the Initiative powers at elections,
which appeared in your columns yes
terday, and its reference to my recent
letter to the State Bar Association up
on the subject, permit me to say that
I have no pride in any suggestion
contained in that letter. What Is
needed is full discussion of the im
portant subject by the press of the
state. I have presented the remedy
offered upon many platfonms, and
have found a widespread demand for
some relief from the multiplicity of
laws which we are now reulred to
vote upon. It Is not the enemies of
the system who are complaining, for
they believe that a continuation o
present abuses will ultimately destro.
the whole Oregon system, so-called
It is the friends of the initiative ana
referendum, who are alarmed, and
ivho demand that the legislature shall
amend the law. The legislature still
has some place in our economy of
government, and will reflect public
sentiment when It knows what that
sentiment Is.
I have heard two other remedies
suggested- One that no bill be initi
ated until first submitted to the leg
islature; and another that paid solicit
ing of signatures be prohibited, and
that all petitions be placed in the of
fice of the several county clerks to
only toe signed in the presence of that
official. '

EARLY WHEAT HISTORY.
Pendleton, Nov. 21, 1912.
Editor East Oregonlan:
In your issue of .Vov. 19, there Is
a statement from Mr. C. A. Barrett
that the first wheat In Umatilla coun
ty was raised probably in 1871 or
1872, which needs correction. In 1871
I took a load of wheat for Mr. J.. H.
McCoy, of the Umatilla Meadows, to
Walla Walla to toe ground into flour;
In 1872 I took a load of wheat to the
Umatilla Indian Reservation mill to
toe ground into flour. This old gov
ernment flour and sawmill was then
a very old looking affair, and the set
tlers of the Umatilla Meadows had
been taking their wheat up to that
old government mill for five years.
The father of J. H. Raley was raising
and shipping wheat to Portland in
1872. Yours respectfully,
FRANK RACK.
GOLDSMITH WAS THERE.
When the late Franklin Fyles first
visited London he told his traveling
companion, as they rose from break

have to be gone most of the day. "I've

, "A hippophaglst, papa," replied th

The head of the house frowned
