I asked her father for her hand
And all he said was. "HuhT"
I tried to make him understand
The dreamful life that we had
planned,
But though I talked to beat the
band
He only answered: "Pooh!"
I rambeld on and told my aim
To which he grunted. "Huh?"
How I aspired to wealth and
fame,
And then I stammered, feeling:

That the Coyote cutoff is to be built
there can be no doubt and there are
also excellent indl
An Encouraging cations that when
Outlook. . the line change is
made the freight
division point will be brought to Pen
dleton. If this comes about It will
be the finest thing that has happened
to Pendleton in years. The freight di
vision will mean 400 or 500 new people
in . Pendleton and a substantial in
crease in the local payroll. It is the
sort of growth Pendleton need.
Comisg on the heels of the Eastern
Oregon State Hospital the freight di
vision will help greatly in taking Pen
dleton forward. After it has been ob
tained our basket of resources . will
till be far from empty. Before many
days that Pilot Rock branch is going
to be extended southward and a saw
Kill will in all probability be built
here. There is also prospect for ir
rigation close to Pendleton, particu
larly on the reservation and such de
velopment would mean a lot to the
city.
There is no occasion for pessimism
ir Pendleton. On the other band the
situation is very encouraging and by
working together with a view to pro
moting the welfare of the town the
people may do much toward improv
ing the possibilities of growth.
The Americanism of Lincoln was the
subject of the following splendid edi
torial in the Chicago
The Fount of News on the anniver
AoaericanLsm. sary of Lincoln's
birth:
On the birthday of Abraham Lin
coln it is not out of place to inquire
from what source that great, sincere,
open minded man drew his political
principles. If the hundreds of thou
sands of Americans who revere his
memory could discover where Lin
coln learned the rights and duties of
the citizen in his relations to his fel
U'Ws and to his country, it is reason
able to think that they would go there
for guidance.
Well, there ne-d be no doubt as to
the source of Lincoln's political prin
ciples, for Lincoln himself gave ex
plicit testimony on this subject. In
kia speech in Independence hall. Phil
adelphia. Feb. 22, 1IC1. he said: "All
the political sentiments I entertain
have been drawn, so far as J have been
able to draw them, from the senti
ments which originated in and were
riven to the world from this hall. 1
have never had a feeling, politically,
that did not spring from the senti
ments embodied in the declaration of
Independence."
Lincoln said also on this occasion
that he had frequently asked himself
"what great principle or idea it was
that kept this confederacy so long to
gether." As he spoke secession was
rife and the union of states seemed to
be crumbling. But he told his audi
tors what, in his opinion, whs th
force that had hold the nation to
gether ever since the day of Wash
ington. It was. he said "that senti
ment in the declaration of Independ
ence which gave liberty not alone to
the people of this country,-but hope
to all the world for all future time.
It was that." said Lincoln, then facing
his great task of preserving the union,
"which gave promise that in due tinn
the weights would be lifted from he
shoulders of all men and that all
should have an equal chance."
There is the underlying sentiment
that has made this nation great. Lin
coln the patriot drew his inspiration
from this sentiment. Lincoln him
self added to its force and vitality.
For the American must now read
both the declaration of independence
and the speech at Gettysburg to get
all that is finest in the underlying idea
upon which are laid the firm foun
dations of the republic.
Portland also is having a water con
troversy Just now and the point in
volved is as
Is Portland Also tonlshing. It is
Conscience Stricken? the question of
whether met
ers should be installed. Evidently
Portland is still following the old time
village plan of making users pay a flat
rate for water regardless of how
much water is used. This seems am
azing in view of Portland's progress
In other respects. Pendleton long ago
adopted the meter system. It i the
only fair method of assessing water
charges. Why there should be spirit
ed opposition to the plan in Portland
is unaccountable save on the assump
tion that the heavy users of water are
very well pleased with the flat rate
plan and dislike the notion of being
forced to pay charges proportionate to
the amount of water used. They
would rather have the small house
keeper bear the burden of expense
vrhne the big fellows get the chief
benefits. To be logical they should
demand that milkmen sell milk at so
much per customer without reference
to the quantity of milk used. They
should demand that the gas and elec
trie companies do likewise with their
product. If the city should sell its
product without measuring It why
should not private concerns be re-
uired to do the same thing?
Portland is either slow on the sub
ject of economics or else as In Pen
dleton there are men there with such
exquisitely tender consciences they
cannot bear to see anyone force the
hog of privilege to take its feet from
the trough.

The editor of the Woman's Home
Companion, writing in the March is
sue of that publication, makes the fol
lowing general comment on fashions
apropos of the new spring fashions
which are entertainingly reported and
interpreted in fourteen pages of the
same issue of the magazine:
"When you see a woman with a
skirt so tight she can hardly walk,
with a hat trimmed with a long spike
feather, with heels three inches high
with a layer of cosmetics on her face
you do not see a victim of fashion,
but a victim of her own poor taste
and ill-considered vanity. The fash
ions were never more beautiful hot

ust be Watchful
For great efforts are being made in
this vicinity to sell baking powders of
inferior class, made from alum acids
and lime phosphates, both undesir
able to those who require high-grade
cream of tartar baking powder to
make clean and healthful food.
The official Government
tests have shown Royal
' Baking Powder to be a
pure, healthful, grape
cream of tartar baking
powder, of highest
strength, and care should
be taken to prevent the
substitution of any
other brand in its place.
Royal Baking Powder costs only a
fair price per pound, and ischeaper
and better at its price than any
other baking powder in the world.
more sensible. The narrow skirt but
not too narrow that clears the floor
Is infinitely more sensible than the
long, full skirt of the past; the high
tight collar with its attendant head
aches has gone; the small hat, set
well down on the head, is a real bless
ing; the very high heel is very bad
style; cosmetics are not worn by wo
men of good taste; fashion even
frowns on false hair a restful change
after the heavy beratted pompadour;
and, best of all, woman's figure Is no
longer compressed into a resies of ug
ly bulges, and the steel stiffened cor
set of days past has become a flexible
piece of webbing that supports but
not bind. When these sensible present-day
fashions are exaggerated and
distorted they become ugly and ri
diculous, it is true. But no woman is
forced to wear them in an exaggerated
and distorted form save by her own
lack of Judgment and her own indif
ference to comfort and good taste.
"As for the fabrics they were
never so wonderful. The supple,
light woolens, and the splendid glow
ing silks of winter have given way to
the most alluring of cotton and linen
stuffs, promise of the summer. The
lighter silks, too, have come in a
thousand new designs, each one seem
ingly more lovely than the last. What
excuse, therefore, for a woman not
to be tastefully dressed not neces
sarily expensively, but with due re
gard to color, line, and individuality?
Indeed, there is none. And though
she may not admit it save laughingly
to herself, there is no woman who
does not realize that to be well dress
ed is to give herself a delightfully
pleasant feeling of well-being and
confidence. A becoming costume Is a
wonderful tonic to the tire dspirlt
and the sensation of looking at one's
best is a definite help to be at one's
best."

CHALLENGE
Rev. Dr. Alzamon Ira Lucas of Walla Walla, the
noted psycho-therapist, who recently delivered a lec
ture in the Oregon theatre here which caused a biff
stir and aroused local ministers, who denounced him
in the Methodist church .revival meeting Monday
night as ''the champion of the devil and a bad egg."
and said his mother was a quarter-blood negro, today
came back at the Protestant pastors of Fendleton with
a defiant challegne.
Dr. Lucas says : '"I will donate one thousand dol
lars to Rev. Gelvin if ho will prove that my mother
had more negro blood than his mother; to Rev. Wea
ver, Rev. Hodshire, the Bulgin expenses, or. to the
churches of Pendleton, for a certified copy of my al
leged arrest in Denver, or for an affidavit regarding
the facts of my being driven from Denver.
"I was arrested by a 2 by 4 preacher in Dayton,
Wash., for telling the truth about him and it was cor
roborated. by his own church members, but Churchi
anity called it libel and a church jury so decided, al
though the preacher later left.
"2so committee sent me to Pendleton. I came on
invitation of Dr. Tcrpening and answered all ques
tions that were dropped in the question box. I would
rather be 'a champion of the devil,' so-called, and tell
the Truth, than claim to be a Christian and quote lies.
I am a Christian and my record is Truth."

is Rev. Porter, who is now in Salem.
