And ever bending o'er you
The tender light of love,
A music in the hollow,
A breeze along the plain,
A sapphire Jn the sunlight,
A ruby In the rain.

Of all things fair and true.
Uelong, t h, youth of morning.
To ail the world and you!
The lifht of morn to lead you,
The dream of night to rest
The surging hopes that feed you.
The passion of your breaH;
The golden nooks of fancy,
The dells of faery lore,
And all the necromancy
'f life reborn once more.
The fearless and the tearless,
The noble and the wiie,
Oh. rudUnt youth and peerless,

To be fair such a road should be
paid for jointly by the county and by
the district most vitally affected. In
the absence of a regular district road
law Mr. Earnhart proposes a $100,000
subscription, the amounts payable in
10 annual installments. Such a sub
scription as that would set at rest
complaints that might be made were
the county asked to stand all the ex
pense. The payment of the county's
Part of the expense through a bond
issue is a good plan because it . will
distribute the burden over many years
and for the further reason that by
that plan the city of Pendleton
which la exempt from ordinary road
tax will be required to bear its part
of the burden.
If such a subscription as Mr. Earn
hart suggests can be raised for this
road there will be no need of waiting
for further legislation. We will have
an improvised district plan that will
answer the purpose that would have
been served by the Brown bill had It
passed the legislature.
There will be wisdom in taking this
action because no one knows when
better laws can be secured. The leg
islature has always been lame with
reference to road legislation. The
next legislative session may end with
the situation no better than at pres
ent It might be made worse. The
next legislature might repeal" the
county bonding law and thus make
the construction of such a road an Im
possibility. Act now while the way Is
clear. Furthermore to wait two years
might mean to sacrifice almost the
cost of the road through the delay.
Mr. Earnharfs suggestion offers
the most practical solution yet of
fered for the road to the river prob
lem. It Is answer to the question
how may Umatilla county get in line
to secure the inestimable benefits of
the open river.
A report on the insane in the Unit
ed .States, prepared by Lr. Joseph A,
11111 and recently
W ho Gm issued by William
Ihan- ami Why. J. Harris, director
of the census, de
partment of commerce, indicates that
there Is more insanity among men
than among women. The report is
based upon data relative to the Insane
In hospitals and asylums In 1910.
On Jan. 1, 1910, there were 88,695
males In Institutions for the Insane. I
as compared with i0,OS6 females, and
during the year 1910 males to the
number of 34,116 were admitted, as
compared with K.623 females.

insane asylums to every 100,000 males
In the total population, while the cor
responding ratio of female Inmates to
total female population was 199.6 to
100,000. The males admitted during
the year 1910 represented a ratio of
"2.1, the females a ratio of 59.7. This
means that In a typical community of
200,000 persons equally divided as to
sex 20$ of the males would be found
in insane asylums and 200 of the fe
males, and In the course of one year
72 males would be admitted to the
asylums, as compared with 60 fe
males. The number of males in asylums
for the Insane has Increased faster
than the number of females. In 1880
the total sexes had. In fact, a nearly
equal representation in these Institu
tions, as the total number of Inmates
Included 20,635 males and 20,207 fe
males; but by 1910 the number of
male Inmates had Increased to 98,-
693 and the number of female Inmates
to 80,096, so that the malea outnum
bered the females by a ratio of 111
to 100. The excess of males among
the current admissions In 1910 was
still greater 128 males to 100 fe
males. Of peculiar interest In this con
nection Is the table which distin
guishes the cases dlagftad as alco
holic psychosis or general paralysis-
mental diseases, which
generally I
speaking, are the aftermath of vice
am! dltmlDatlon. Of the 34.116 males ,
admitted to hospitals for the Insane
in 1 91 W, S.US. or aooui i9 yer t-r.n
of the total number, were reported as
suffering from one or the other of
these diseases, while the number of
females having these diseases was
only 2,042, representing about g per
cent of the 26,653 females admitted,
i, t ,.fi m.mher of admis-
slons the cases of alcoholic psychosis
and general paralysis are deducted,
the disparity between the sexes prac-
tloally disappears. There are left of

the total admissions 25.70S males, as
compared with 24.611 females, a
slight excess of males, but no greater
than naturally would result from ths

fact that there are more males than
females in the general population.

TIIK HfXJ SITUATION.
It Is to be regretted that In many
sections of the Pacific northwest
many farmers are disposing of their
hogs at a sacrifice In price. There
seems at first glance to be a valid
reason for this condition In sections
where wheat growing is engaged in,
due to tlie present outlook for high
prices for wheat next fall on account
of the war. As a result of this con
dition thousands of hogs have been
dumped on the market and low pri
ces have necessarily prevailed. This
condition Ib strikingly a body blow
at the swine Industry of the north
western states and unless checked
will tnlto venra tn overcome. What

from ordinary road taxes but it is con
tended they should share in the cost
of a road to the river because if that
road is not built these towns will all
lose business to Walla Walla when
Walla Walla county builds a hard sur
face road to Wallula. The fact the
road will give river connections to
Adams. Athena, Weston, Milton and
Freewater it is taken will assure the
support of those towns and the coun
try adjacent to them.
