serious social movement inspired by
ideals of racial improvement, and its
progress is not measured by satautory

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!

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.

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

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?

(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.
