If we could forget our sorrow's, Or forget when things go wrong. And t the dawn of every mor row Arise with a happy aong; IT we could greet everybody Hull a smile instead of a frown, Fvi-seiting thetnals and troubles That press like a heavy crown; If, instead of a word of hatred, We could sing a song of praise. Showing that our ht-aris were bigger, We c-cuid forget - what they said. II those we love and trut Should fail lu in the end, Xid we could go on trusting True trust, not just preiend The world and all would belong to us, teach day we would find a new the state has been spending for each purpose and what is asked for this time. The budget provides pub licity of a sort greatly needed. It brings, expenditures and prospective expenditures into the open where each item may be observed and discussed. It enables legislators and other people to judge more intelli gently as to the merits of re quests made of the legislature. This year the budget aside from showing the estimated needs also sets for the ability of the state to appropriate money under the restrictions of the six per cent amendment. The total requests from all departments and institutions reach $9,317,528.46 and of this the sum of $7,024,887.91 is wanted in the form of appro priations. However, under the six per cent amendment it will be impossible for the legisla ture to appropriate more than $6,309,505.82. thus leaving over $715,000 uncared for. As to whether this is a desirable state of affairs opinions will differ. The East Oregonian is not favorably impressed with the probable workings of the six per cent amendment, but it approves most thoroughly or the plan of publishing the bud get. JUSTICE FOR THE NATION AL GUARD j 28 Years Ago Today a . .. A (From the Daily East Oregonian, Dec. 30. 188S ) Harry H. Pond leave tonight on a pleasure trip to Portland and the sound. He is Just a boy who will haw a good time during his stay. A week or so ago. a couple of en terprising youths, John Adams and Millard Thompson, were brought down from Adams charged with steal ing hams. They were sent to town after bacoa but blew In the money given thera and stole some ham in order to make a showing on return to the family roof. Young Adams was balled out today but young Thomp son still languishes. George Peebler, a well known ard extensive rancher, residing between Kcho and Pencileton Is In town today.

Abe Selling. EUROPE IS NOT SO POLITE Joy, All life would be vnshine and flowers, anJ Ming, With never the clouds to ai. noy. We would never see shadows, but always he sun. And with singing tnd laugh er our work would be done; If, when grief and sorrow, and lifelong ii-may Came into our li.es, we coula cheerfully say, 'I'll forget it." Denver Past. tf HERE is a tale that short Q ly after the natives of New Zealand had been provided with firearms a war ertruec' bptween two of the tribes. The battle rnrred furi ously f ;r f time until it was observed that the fire on one side had ceased. Soon a flag of truce appeared and a mes senger came forth to treat with the enemy. The substance of their plea was that their side iad run out of ammunition and therefore it was necessary, if the battle was to be continued, that they negotiate a loan of powder from their opponents. The commander more fortu nately supplied with powder and shot at once complied with the request and the struggle as soon resumed. Were chivalry of this type tthh 2 prevalent than it is in Furope it might be possible to xpt-dite the slaughter ana thus hasten the day of peace. THE STATE BUDGET TONG with some other X things of which the state of Oregon has reason to !e proud may be mentioned the policy of publishing the es timated list of state expendi tures in advance of the legisla tive session overv two vears. The budget for 1917-1918 Trias just been received from the wsetary of state and consti tutes a most interesting docu ment for all who feel a close interest in the financial affairs f the commonwealth. In the uriget each department or in stitution has its various wants "feted in detail. In opposite volunins is given the appropri ations made for such purposes 1 tiring the two preceding ses Awm of the lecislfture. Thus one m:y see at a glance what 1 EGULAR army officers are disposed to be hasty in proclaiming the Nati onal Guard system s an utter failure, comments the New York World. The National Guard regi ments that were sent to the Mexican border last summer were the product of the Dick ?ct, which was about to be su perseded by the new Hay law. iet in active service in tnei field the New York regiments' won high praise, as Major Gen. O'Ryan testifies, from of ficers of the regular army for their proficiency. This state has maintained a liberal policy toward the National Guard. Its officers and men were drawn from the professions and business, many of them ex ceptionally trained and in en joyment of high salaries in ci vil life. It was inevitable when they were mustered into the Federal service that they should make a good showing for intelligence and adaptabil ity. They were not the kind of volunteers that usually are at tracted to the recruiting offices of the United States army. They were rather of the class cf men whose work at Platts- burg Gen. Leonard Wood so freely praised. To disparage the National Guard is easy but unfair. A better system of obtaining troops must be devised, but the reason is not to be found in the failure of the Guard to do its duty. Amusements What the press agents say about Pendleton s pres ent and coming attractions. H:ir4 Bell Wright's "The Winning of Barbara Worth," was credited In the warld of literature as one of the seven best sellers.
