LOVE divine. O love divine, that stooped to share Our sharpest pang, our bitter est tear. On these we cast each earth born care. We smile at pain while thou art near! Though long the weary way we tread And sorrow crown each lin gering year, Xo path we shun, no darkness dread. Our hearts still whispering, thou art near! When drooping pleasure turns to grief And trembling faith is chang ed to fear, The murmuring wind, the quiv ering leaf, Shall softly tell us, thou art near! On thee we fling our burden ing woe, O love divine, forever dear' Content to suffer while we know. Living and dying, thou art near! Oliver Wendell Holmes. Pendleton will welcome this even ing a public official whose visit is fraught with much The Secretary importance to Umatll Of Interior. la county. The state of Oregon is vitally interested in the administration of the new secretary of interior and to no county is his program of more concern than it Is to the one which includes within its boundaries the Hermiston project, the West Umatilla extension and the Umatilla Indian reservation. Secretary Lane's purpose In making his western trip is to secure first hand information regarding matters which come within his jurisdiction. It is a part of the general policy of the administration to acquire an accu rate knowledge of conditions before proceeding with the problems which confront it. It is a step which none can Justly criticize. Secretary' Lane comes as an avowed friend of the home seeker and as an avowed enemy of the speculator. He has already given his approval of the west extension of the Umatilla pro ject but before proceeding with the development of that project, he wishes information which will better enable him to safeguard the home seeker and eliminate the speculator. His visit to the project today should prove an impetus to a work already too long delayed. On his arrival here in Pendleton, he will be taken to the reservation which has its own problem for him. The le gality of the' Indian water rights has never been finally established and the matter doubtless will be brought to his attention while he has charge of the interior department. His decis ion, if he is called upon to make one, will have a potential meaning to the red people and to the city of Pen dleton. Secretary Lare will be the guest of the city and a;i of the citizens are invited to participate in the recep tion. A rpr-er.Uive committee has charge of his entertainment while here anl has arranged for a meeting where all n;&y have an opportunity of greeting the man to whom the entire went is looking for assistance In the development of its natural resources. BY THE SCISSORS ABOUT THE MISSOURI. Some day, when St. Louis tires of having her harbor sullied by the Mis souri river, that muddy stream will be turned into the Mississippi through an artificial channel back of the city and made to come out where it will not do so much harm. The Mississippi river above the Mis souri is a very big and beautiful river. That it should be robbed of its charm just before it flows past the largest city on its banks is a pity. Maybe Colonel Goethals will come up some time and tell us what can be done It is likely that the undertaking would not be as great as we may imagine. There are valleys back of the city through which the Missouri, with some assistance by engineers, could probably run, and we would be well rid of it, even at the cost of some mil lions of dollars. It would work a wonderful transformtation in front of the city. Instead of the murky flood which pours under the bridges even at this season of the year, when the river ought to be comparatively clear, we should have a bright and attrac tive show of water like that which marks the harbors of all the cities on the Upper Mississippi so beautiful. We shall not say much about it tiow. There are too many chanks In city. Dhen these have died, and their several political leagues shall have been dissipated by the kind winds of time, we can talk of It seri ously The Missouri is not so stable in any channel but it could be switch ed. Old-timers recall when its mouth was up near Maple Island within some three miles of Alton. On a certain occasion w hen the mouth choked with ice and a flood came roaring down the river behind it, the Missouri turn ed across country to meet the Missis sippi where we see it today. It never returned. When we turn it down back of St. Louis we can use the old river bed for a spillway. Col. Goethals can tell us all about spillways. He has built a dandy down at Gatun FADED IXK. List that little bed for the Round up. 0 D D Lb YOU can tone and invigor ate the Stomach, Liver and Bowels and thus keep your self In perfect condition by the use of IIOSTETTER'S Stomach Bitters (The New York Sun.) A London cable to The Sun report ed the sale on Monday of an old ink stand. The price paid was $7010. A good deal of money for an inkstand, yet It would be worth a sum not to be estimated in figures but In fan cies could the owner know whose quills have been dipped Into it and what thoughts have come out of it, as imps came out of an oven in an old fairy tale. It must be a wonder ful Inkstand, as these words show: "It is formed as an equestrian group of Marcus Aurellus. with an Inkwell and sand box by his side, mounted on hexagonal plinth, with foliage border and claw feet." When the sand was fresh and clean in that little box Henry VIII was a boy playing tennis- We know how he lost his temper over one game and broke his racquet. Did the Inkwell tell what a fine, healthy youth Henry whs. really noble? So elaborate an Inkstand must have belonged to per sons "In the know," as we say today, and they wrote of intrigues until the Ink went dry many times before the character of Henry became fiendish.' With fresh Ink and new quills and as other hands dipped toward that well these must have come a time when words like these came out: "I saw a new play this afternoon, called 'Hamlet.' I forget the p'uywrlght's name." And how the quill must have shaken and the sand blurred the page when the head of Charles fell off the block. What an awful news story that would be today, but letter-writ-era were the only reporters then. What strange, stray rumors they penned each other about a land across the Atlantic! The Band on the paper turned to rubies and diamonds wasted on Indians. A sweep of history, scan dal, love, parental duty, lies and truth they have all come out of that old ink well. Once a man lost his health and went to Colorado to regain it When he returned to New York friends ask ed if he had been mininc "Yes." said he, "in an inkwell." Who knows wnat gold still lies In the inkwell that has stood long at the side of Marcus Aurelius? WOM EX O rnCEHOI.DEKS. (The Philadelphia Ledger.) Since women began to take part in politics and hold office they have shown ability in campaigning and ad ministration. Especially marked has been the aggressive honesty of the woman in office; she has fought graft of all kinds and put the services on a higher plane. But in woman's merits in politics is found her most serious defect. She cannot stand the hardship of the role. She gives way under attack. She flies from abuse. She goes to pieces amid the plots and counterplots. This is natural it is instinctive, and it is in her favor, but It prevents her from holding on as men would do. There are scores of recent instan ces in which women retired from of fices because they could not endure the contentions and criticisms. Such an unusual woman as Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, who received $10,000 a year as superltnendent of public schools in Chicago, has resigned because of a lack of harmony with the board of education. Fancy a Chicago man giving up a $10,000 place because it was not as harmonious as he wished! The may or of a California city appointed an advlstory board of five women. One by one all have withdrawn and the reason for the withdrawals seems to have been that they were tired of be ing criticised for doing nothing. IX XEW YORK.
