In his message to congress yester
day President Wilson pointed out so
clearly the logic of
The Currency currency, reform at
Reform BUI. this session that the
i , - need of action must b
obvious, tV all. The substance of the
matter is that the president does not
want the country to take any chances
with the pirates of privilege nor does
he want the prosperity of the country
to rest In any way upon the behavior
o Wall street gamblers. He is giv
ing the country a good tariff bill and
he wants the people to get the bene
fit of it, v He is freeing business from
the evil of the protective tariff and
he does riot want this new freedom to
he spoiled by any money combination;
As to the currency bill proposed it
is the essence of simplicity. It pro
vides for an elastic currency that may
be used in emergencies and will sup
plant the Aldrich-Vreeland emergency
currency bill which expires June 30,
1914. But there will be regional re
serves inttead of one central reserve
and the control will rest with the gov
ernment, not with Wall street. "With
that scheme In force there could be
no repetition of the wholly unnecessary
panic of 1907. Under the regional re
serve plan each section of the country
will settle its own troubles. If Wall
etreet has a spasm Wall street will
have to provide the remedy. It can
not drag the whole country in to
share its stomach ache as it did in
1907. With the control of affairs in
the hands of the federal government
there will be no opportunity for the
great financial Interests to use the
thing to build up their own poVer.
The administration currency bill is
the sort of measure the country needs
and there Is every reason why it should
be enacted at the special session. To
delay would give the privileged inter
ests an opportunity to spoil the bene
fits of tariff reform and furthermore
there Is little time for delay since
the present emergency currency law
will expire a year from now. There
Ik not the slightest doubt but that the
administration bill will be adopteJ by
congress soon after it is presented. It
will be equivalent to political suicide
for a democrat to oppose the bill and
if the republicans try to fight It they
will merely be digging their grave the
deeper. . ,
Woodrow Wilson is ont political re
former who delivers the goods and he !
tays upon the Job from the start to
the finish.

"Only the coyote can keep down the
jack rabbits in eastern Oregon," says
the Orrgonian
Turn Out tlie which comment
Guard, the line was inspired by
Juice H AInwwt Jiiff. the reports the
Oregonlan has
ben receiving from its Pendleton war
correspondent. The rabbit Is indeed
a crafty foe and compared with him
the yellow peril is a small affair.
From the Oregonlan's Pendleton re
port we learn that an army of jacks
has invaded the UmatUla county grain
fields and devoured 288 square miles
of wheat. Their practice Is to adbance
by rushes in line of skirmishers and
Veep always tinder ever Just as di
rected by the book. As oon as they
have subjugated the wheat bolt it is
the purpose of the rabbits to attack
the alfalfa region to the westward.
They may dynamite the Cold Springs
dam if such action becomes necessary
from a military standpoint, though
this has not yet been predicted by the
Portland paper's informant.
What makes the victory of the
jock rabbit army so complete is that
secret. The grain buyers- who are
making all preparations to handle
Cniatilla county's five or six million
bushels of wheat have not yet learned
that it has been eaten up. E. L.
liiith, the best farm credit man in
the county and who himself owns
many thousands of acres near the
"strkken" region has not yet learned
of the invasion. Xor have the farm
ers living in the devastated section.
Though A. F. May was in the war
zone recently accompanied by his dog
he saw but one lonely jack. Only to
the Oregonlan's war correspondent has
the deadly truth been revealed.
It Is a big joke and would be a good
Joke were it not for the fact the libel
may be believed by some people and
to that extent prove injurious to the
county. Eut it is what may easily
happen when a natural born subma
rine writer gets turned loose in the
wheat belt.
In the view of the East Oregonlan
the council in conjunction with the civ
ic club should ac
Tliat Vacant cept the offer of the
Kailroa.l Blink. O.-W. R. & N. Co.
with reference to
Improving the vacant block near the
depot. The tract needs parking and
needs it badly. Under the scheme pro
posed the city has a way of improv
ing the lot with money virtually do
nated by the railroad. The plan may
not be Ideal but It seems to be the
best thing yet proposed. It will at
lease result In having the block im
proved and that is the end desired.
The council should either accept this
offer or prepare to force the rail
road company to park the block and
keep It in condition The present
state of affairs is a disgrace and a
nuisance to everybody.
' The "Imperator," the greatest ship
afloat has crossed the ocean safely
in which respect she differed from
the Titanic.
When theoretical raobits eat theor

great harm Is done.
The new president talks softly but
says much and what he says seems to
go back in Washington.

WEDDING GIFTS.
(By Mrs. Frank Learned in the San
Francisco Examilner.)
The question of sending a wedding
gift must be decided by friendship or
obligation. In the first instance there
Is the natural wish to please a friend,
and in the other case one may be in
debted to the bride or bridegroom or
to their families for kindnesses or hos
pitalities. Those who are invited to
a home wedding or a wedding recep
tion usually send gifts, although
there is no absolute rule to be follow
ed as to this. As it is supposed to be
a special compliment to be bidden to
a home ceremony, a guest likes to re
turn the courtesy by a gift, however
simple it may be.
A gift is sent Invariably to the bride
even though she may not be known
personally to the giver. The custom
is to send a gift directly from the
place where it is purchased. The vis
iting card of the giver in enclosed in
a small envelope and placed inside of
the box containing the present. A
brjef line expressive of good wishes
may .be written across the top of the
card if the giver is a friend specially
interested.
Wedding fifts are marked with the
initials of the bride's maiden name.
Ia regard to the display of wedding
presents, there is a division of opin
ion. Some persons consider it osten
tatious to show the gifts, or that it de
stroys sentiment to have critical eyes
examining these offerings; others pre
fer to share their pleasure with their
friends and are glad to give evidence
of the food will and the generous at
tention they have received.
When a wedding takes place In the
country and friends are expected from
a distance, the custom is to show the
presents on the wedding day; or If
the wedding Is an informal one, with
only relatives and intimate friends
present, the gifts are shown.
The preferred custom Is to show
the presents a few days before the
wedding. The bride-elect, or her
mother, may write informal notes ask
ing intimate friends and all those who
have sent gifts to come in on a cer
tain afternoon, during hours deaignat-

The gifts are arranged on tables

tablecloths. Here and there are vases
of flowers. Great care Is taken to
place each article at Its best advan
tage, especially the small and simple!
gifts, which should be among the
more beautiful ones, so that the glv-'
ers may feel that the bride has truly

the child a musical education.
The Hosps are living at 647 Oakland

Melborn the pianist, is 6 years old.
Already a favorite ps a performer at
small music "by ear." he is learning
his notes under competent Instructors,
and is practicing scales just as any
other beginner In music. His training
differs from that of the ordinary pu
pil only in that he is not compelled
to practice. His teachers per. nit him
to largely follow his own inclinations.
They fear that rigid instruction might
restrain his natural ability. The pro
gress of the child is attracting the at
tention of musicians.

c
ERGHANTS and manufacturers
have certain articles they wish
to sell. In. order to sell them they
advertise.
"That is their business," you say; "they are
doing it to benefit themselves."
True they are advertising primarily for their own profit.
But there is more to present-day advertising than that. It
has created a spirit of confidence and friendliness between the seller and the
buyer that has become so much a part of our daily lives that we hardly realize
it unless we stop to think. , . .
Have you ever made a purchase in the Orient ? If so, you remember
how you have entered a shop and after poking throuph confused heaps of ar
ticles you have found something tbat struck your fancy. You asked the price
and were told it was worth, perhaps, the equivalent of a dollar. Then ensued
hagfrlinr, haranguing, threats, imprecations, until finally at tho end of half an
hour you triumphantly emerged wrom the shop, the article in your hand and 50
cents gone from your pocket. When you looked again at your purchase vour
can-a- sswjamuijn1 aw HWii i 1 nfiHn.'.,!! iumit ' -
good common sence told you it was worth about 10 cents.
Contrast such an experience with shopping hero today. You will appreci
ate as never before the value of the EAST OREGONIAX'S. advertisements,
which lead you to firms known for their honest goods and their fair dealings.

CALIFORNIA GRAPE JUICE.
It Is not likely that the wide pub
licity given to Secretary Bryan's
grape juice dinner will do much for
the cause of temperance, but It is to
be hoped that it will do something
i for the grape juice market. California
j grape Juice is sweet and bland. East-
fi grape juice is sour and has the
fr- "foxy" taste of the Concord
gr-"s of which It is made. It hap
pen 'hat California Juice is more
whole-"ne and far more nutritious
than f f Eastern grape Juice. Also,
It can b' produced more cheaply,
since grap 'c in California are cheap,
and In the "ist are very expensive.
But the EasT"-n grape Juice got
started first and It has been difficult
up to the present time, for the Cali
fornia Juice to compete with it. Cali
fornia grape juice, to be properly
palatable, should be senVed cold
the cold minimizes the sweetness and
brings out the acid. Many people, al
so, like the California grape Juice
Your Child's Health
Your First Thought
If you have children, naturally your
first thoughts are for their health.
You certainly want them to develop
strong, healthy constitutions. The
most careful attention must be given
when children show the first symp
toms of the many common aliments
Perhaps they are weekly and thin, or
grow too fast, thus sacrificing
strength. These an 1 other apparent
ly minor ailments may be the .fore
runner to a weak constitution for life.
Such children need Jayne's Tonic
Vermifuge which is essentially a chil
dren's tonic. First of all, it will prop
erly care for the child's stomach. H
will also improve the appetite, and
will add strength to the other organs
of the body. In cases of thin or im
pure blood, .it Increases the number
of red corpuscles, enabling the en
riched blood to keep the body healthy
and strong.
Among the most common ailments
that children develop Is that of a dis
ordered stomach, leading to an im
paired digestion. In many cases this
trouble is due to parasites in the in
testinal tract. To correct such trou
ble. Jayne's Tonic Vermifuge is un
surpassed. For more than eighty years mil
lions of children have been restored
to health through the use of this ton
ic. Insist upon Jayne's; accept no
other. Sold by druggists everywhere.
