Is a healthful body, a mind at ease And simple pleasures that al ways please. Heart that can feel for a neigh bor's woe And share his joy with a friend ly glow, With sympathies large enough to enfold All men as brothers. Is better than gold. Better than gold Is the sweet repose Of the sons of toll when their labors close; Better than gold Is the poor man's sleep And the balm that drops on his slumbers deep; Better than gold is a thinking mind That In realms of thought and books can find A treasurer surpassing Australi ' an ore And live with the great and good of yore. Alexander Smart. JOYS OP THE UNJUST. Mrs. Nora Blatch De Forest, editor of the new journal of the Woman's Political union, said in New Tork the other day: , "There can be no justice for woman till she gets the vote. Man, having the vote himself and refusing it to woman, is unjust. Tou know the story about the just and the unjust? It's very applicable here. " "The rain falls alike on the Just and the unjust,' a clergy man once said. " 'Not a bit of it.' a parish loner retorted. 'The unjust have all the closed motor cars and umbrellas.' " Washington Star. Though the engineer who ran over little Ethel Grubb yesterday has been .exonerated by The O.-W. U. & X. the coroner's Jury Should Act. the railroad com pany cannot be held blameless for the sad accident. The little girl was rushing to school and probably did not know of the on coming danger until it was too late. It is easy for a person traveling west on East Court street to be surprised by a train coming in on the Spokane divis ion. Just before the train reaches the crossing it passes through a cut and to further hide the train from view there is a high board fence. To a little tot like Ethel Grubb an incoming train would be hidden until it had almost 'reached the crossing. The life of a little girl was sacri ficed yesterday because the O.-W. R. & N. company has been saving money it should have spent long ago to safe guard that bloody crossing. This is not said for the purpose of harassing the company or to prejudice people against the officials who Are capable and accommodating men most of them at least. The statement is made because it is the truth. The blame for the death of Ethel Grubb may be laid at the door of the railroad com pany. Nothing the railroad can do will bring back life to the girl that was killed. Nothing the company can do can stay the grief of the father who lost his only child. But the officials have it In their power to prevent such accidents in the future. They can guard that crossing with an automatic gate or at least with an alarm bell. The railroad may also take steps to make life safer at the Main street crossing. There is more danger there than on East Court street. There should be a watchman there to warn people when trains or en gines are coming. It would pay the railroad company to have such a man on duty. It would be good insurance against damage suits. The East Oregonian continues its motion that the people of the city ask the railroad officials for safeguards a: the more dangerous local crossings. If the request Is not granted readily and willingly as it probably will be Hteps should be taken to compel uch action by the company. Lives of little children are too precious to be sacrificed to make large dividends for Wall street millionaires. Dr. Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard and one of the strongest advocates of Ah Ir. Kbot the civil service, harsh fat1 It. ly criticises President Taft for his order throwing his fourth class pastmasters under the civil service. "I greatly regret to criticise a presi dent of the United States, and I re. gret that i president of the United SUtec houl4 laaue auch an order a that issued Just after the election," said Dr. Eliot. "The fourth-class postmasters were patronage appointees. They are to be continued In office now simply be cause of the application of the spoils system. The blow has been struck from the capital at true civil service." All who are not blinded by partisan ship will admit the force of what Dr. Eliot says. If we are to have civil service postmasters they should be se lected under the civil service not named for political reasons and then given civil service protection. Presl dent Taft's fourth class postmaster ship order was the action of a politici an, not that of a statesman. In passing the minimum wage bill for women the legislature is taking an advanced step and a Equal Suffrage needed one. The Did It. measure looks to the conservation of hu manity. It looks to the protection of women and girls who must work for a livlihood and at times are the vic tims of a cruel wage system. There are employers, especially in large clt ies, who do not pay women workers sufficient wages to keep body and soul together. This has come about be cause the women have been the help less victims of a system that at times means starvation or degredation. But women are not so helpless in Oregon now. They have the right of suffrage and It is of deep significance that at the first legislative session following the suffrage victory in Oregon the minimum wage bill for women has been adopted. , Why should our army and navy be mobolized at the gates of Mexico ready to enter that repub.

Daly, whose poem, "The Thrush," won the $250 prize in the Mitchell Kennerley compe tition, is, like all good versl. flers, a severe critic of bad verse. At a dinner at the Bellevue Strattford In Philadelphia a young lady of a humorous turn asked Daly a conundrum. 'When is a poet not a poet " she said. "About ninety-nine times out of a hundred," was the grim reply. Pittsburg Dispatch. DON'T BE' "A QUITTE3" It's only your liver that haa be come lazy and inactive.

It is a gigantic war but a very small fight as is true of all Latin republic revolutions. Those people are strong on manefestos, proclamations and demonstrations but they are slow about killing or getting killed. For this country to intervene in Mexico would endanger the lives of Americans in that country. Such ac tion would arouse the hatred of the Mexicans and might cause them to slay Americans before the army could get there. There is no excuse for in tervention unless the Taft administra tion wishes to hand a package to the incoming president. Homemade. "I see," said the grouchy customer as he was paying his restaurant bill, "that you advertise that you make your own pies." "Yes, sir," replied the manager of the restaurant, anticipating a flatter ing testimonial. "Well. I would like to offer you a suggestion." "Certainly, sir! pleased to hear it." "Well, then, let someone else make them." pm DOUBLE S. & IL TKADIXG STAMPS MM TOMORROW MORNING FROM 9 A.M. TO 12 A.M.. Some people give according to their means and some according to their meanness.

A Small Leak Will Sink a Great Ship You may spend as you go, paying no attention to the oppor. tunlties to save which are advertised by progressive merchants, but you will find sooner or later that little expenses count up to large sums. A losse, here-and-there buyer can quickly squander all her money by forgetting the value f the little purchases. Care in expending the small amounts will quickly repay the economical housewife. Every night in its advertising columns the EAST OREGONIAN points the way to many opportunities for stopping the small leaks. Special sales are advertised by t'-e merchants. In small things, such as soaps, ribbons, and notions, there may be Just one penny off the regular price. But when you add them all together you will find that the pennies number a dollar or two. Read all the advertisements in the EAST OREGONIAN closely and constantly every night for opportunity to save not only pen nlies but dollars. ' .. (Copyright, 1913, by J. P. Fallon.)
