The Bentztown Bard sings of Joy of life in his Baltimore Sun column: "Rains are raining summer. Sun is shining song. The yellow-throated drummer Is drumming all day long, A path runs up to glory, And one runs unto town; And love is like a story That softly fluttrrs down. The moon is spreading wonder Cm water and on wold. And life goes weaving yonder Her filaments of gold. The earth is fine for seeing, The heart is ripe with bliss. Oh, what a happy being To be alive like this'."' N an address last evening in Portland Senator Harry Lane declared that re gardless of the Celilo canal the Columbia river is not yet open nnd will not be really open to traffic until roads are built to the river so as to allow freight to be taken to and from the river independently of the rail roads. This same advice has been given by the governor of Ore gon. It is given by Congress man Sinnott, by Senator Jones of Washington and. in fact by every man interested m the subject of the open river. The necessity for road building is one point upon which all our public men agree regardless of politics. The same is true of most of the newspapers that have given the subject atten tion. There must be something to it. cause, if i was in the city when my nemesis came on duty, but if I do not fall Into his hands, I will make a start for Baker City tonight and wish you the bet of success for ad vocacy of right and justice. Yours truly, U AXTON PE JOINVELI.E, (Young Jeffries.) Note "Young Jeffries" was not among those arrested by the police last night and therefore it is appar ent he took his departure for Baker.

The building of the Celilo canal may bring us cheaper salmon as well as cheaper freight. for the city of the lot adjoining the north side cemetery. The plan suggested is reas onable and it is practical. It means that for a very small sum the city may secure legal title to the whole tract of land. It is advisable in every way that this tract pass to the own ership of the city and this is a favorable time to complete the transaction. It is a good thing for a town to have a well improved park or playground close to the cen ter of population and activity. Because of our dry summer cli mate such a' park is particularly desirable in Pendleton. It will be a continuous blessing. If through neglect by the city that north side cemetery tract should pass into private hands it would become worth twenty times as much as the city is now asked to pay in order to obtain title to the property. If the city had to go into the open market to buy two blocks THEY SHOULD TEACH AMBITION XOT KOK CHARLES E. HVU11KS. (New York World.) Justice Hughes is not a candidate for the presidency. "Not only has he no desire to re-enter politics, but, as a member of the supreme court of the United States, he is not available.' This public statement, authorlxed by the ex-governor of New York, har monires perfectly with his utterances In 1912 on the same subject: "To friends who spoke of the reports from Chicago of the possibility of his nom ination by the republicans as a com promise candidate for the presidency, he said that he was entirely out cf politics and would not permit the uss of his name under any circumstan ces." Responding a few days later to a further appeal, Justice Hughes said: "I hope that, as a justice of the su preme court, I am rendering public service and may continue to do so for some years, but the supreme court must not be dragged into politics, and no man is as essential to his country's well-being as is the unstained Integrity of the courts.-' When an attempt was made to con vince him that his scruples as to the judiciary might easily be overruled by the sovereign people, his response was that if that view were accepted in his case there would be nothing to prevent a similar demand upon Chief Justice White, for example, by the democrats, and that then the I court would be hopelessly In politics. He again refused, and said that his decision must be regarded as final. Charles E. Hughes might have been nominated by the republicans in 1908 and probably would have been '' Theodore Roosevelt, bossing the na tional convention as no other body o! that kind ever was bossed, had not forbidden it. "If you don't take Taft," he said, "you will get me." They took Mr. Taft, and Mr. Taft made Governor Hughes a justice oi the supreme court. We shall never know what kind of a president Mr. Hughes would have. been, but we dr. know that he Is a great Judge and that by his high appreciation of that calling he has added new honors to a great court. HERE is room for variety of opinion as to the val ue of different courses taught in the schools; there can be no disputing the fact that the effect of the school upon the spirit of the student is something of immense im portance. "A noted educator struck at the truth of the mat ter when he said: "The best thing any one can take away from, school is an aroused ambition, an awaken ed sense of innate possibilities. The school should have aded self-discovery. Schooling is a of land for park purposes it I plan, a system of self-revela- would have to pay an enormous jtion, a place where one is as- sum in order to secure desirable property. The purchase of the land in Round-up park from Mr. Mat lock was one of the best steps ever taken for Pendleton. The acquirement of the north side cemetery and adjoining lots will be on a par with that tran saction. The city will blunder if it passes up this opportunity. LET EUROPE DO IT sisted to take an inventory of one's self, of one's resources. The athlete does not carry the gymnasium away with him, but the strength, the skill, the discipline which the gymnasi um has helped him to acquire." Give a student ambition and he will accomplish whatever is necessary himself. Load him down with instruction but leave him without a desire to suc ceed and he will be as useless as a gun without a cartridge. jj HE statement by the chief officer of the Gulflight indicates that the Amer ican tanker was torpedoed by a British submarine, not by a German. Not only that but the Gulflight was flying the stars and stripes at the time and had a right to do so, being a genu ine American steamer. It is now up to our military enthusiasts to insist we fight England, if they wish to be con sistent. If it was an act of piracy for a German submarine to torpedo an English ship why is it not piratical for an English sub marine to torpedo an American boat? Are we to be more incensed over the sinking of a British Bhip than over a deliberate at tack on an American steamer? The situation shows the fool ishness of those who think a "hair trigger" attitude should be taken by the president. It is unnecessary lor una country to go to war or to make any threats that might lead to WAT Let England handle Ger many and let Germany take care of England.

Editor East Oregonian: Being an old timer in the news gathering business and realizing the liability of untrue statements being published, I was careful to be ceitain of my facts before I told you of the imposition on the public by the prin cipals of last night's fake boxing match. I do not share your pessimistic view of this matter as to the death of box ing In Pendleton. The game, as It has been conducted here, was In vio lation of the state law, but If the law Is obeyed by some promoter who is responsible or who can get responsi ble people to vouch for him, and he organizes a club and applies for a charter under the state law, passed at the recent session of the legisla ture, there Is no reason why boxing chould not flourish here when it Is taken out of shadowy hands and le galized by men of character and re sponsibility. If such an arrangement were made, I would be willing to come back here at any time and box any white man who Is willing to dis pute my claim to the title of champion of the northwest. I foresaw this fi asco and am sorry It occurred, because such sets throw odium on a sprr that has already been blackened too much by the acts of Jack Johnson nnd It U the gentiernen who are In the profession, who suffer for such deeds. I was Informed, this evening, that 1 was to be arrested again, without THIS MA Y ENTERTAIN IX Z1XZ1XXATL Two men visiting in Cinelninatl wandered into a German cafe two nights in succession. Each time they were annoyed by "Tlpperary" coming from a nlckel-in-the-slot piano. The instrument, it appeared to them, could play nothing else. It seemed strange that "Tipperary" should be heard iu a German cafe, so they asked the proprietor about It "You're a German aren't you " ""Oh, sure!" he replied. "Most of your trade is German." "Oh, sure!' "Then why does that piano play Tipperary,' an Irish tune, bo much " "Vy, dere is von Irlsher who keeps pudding in niggles," said the German with a grin. "Alretty I sold him J25 wort' of 'Tipperary,' an' der kaiser ain't kicked yet."

GREEN TRADING STAMPS ALL DAY FRIDAY rn DOUBLE STAMPS WITH ALL CASH PURCHASES FRIDAY OBSOLETE HUMOR. Half a century ago that form of humor known as the conundrum was thought to he very amusins and one of the highest forms of wit And 'he man or woman who had a store of new ones always ready to propound was considered a most entertaining person. Of course, everybody knows what a conundrum is, for even today It creeps up occasionally in some re mote district. But, the really old ones that delighted our grandfathers are for the most part buried in oblivion. Did you ever hear of the one about the watch dog? This of the brand of 1S50 and Is pretty good of its kind: "Why Is a watch dog bigger at night than In the morning?" "Be cause he is let out at night and taken in in the morning " This one was a great favorite of the beaux of 1860 who wanted to flat ter the ladies: "When is a bonnet not a bonnet?'' "When It becomes a pretty wagon." Here are some more of about the same period that may interest you: "What's the difference between a donkey and a postage stamp?" "One you lick with a stick and the other you stick with a lick." "What was the greatest feat In the eating line ever known?" "That re corded of the man who began by holt Incr a Annr after whlrh he threw UD a window and then sat down and swallowed the whole story." "Why is a little dog's tall like tne heart of a tree?" "Because It is far thest from the bark." like a greater fool than you are or be s. greater fool than you look (Let the person choose, and then say, "That's Impossible.") "What do lawyers do when they die " "Lie still." "What is the most Inconvenient time for a train to start?" "12:50, as It is 10 to one you don't catch It.''
