BEADS.
The hours are like a string of
colored bead."
Strung on a golden chain.
First come the small ones like
a rnw of deeds
That speak not los nor gain.
Then comM an amber bead that
speaks a day
Of languorous golden hours
When Time, in lingering, dreams
Itself away
Among the poppy flowers.
Then come a bead of jade that
brings a breath
Caught from its liquid heart
Or warring passions, pain and
grief and death
A sad day set apart
Then comes a red bead like a
drop o." fire,
K elorious pasran thirs.
When love and youth, forgetful
of earth's mire,
IJft up thc:r hearts and sing.
Jane McLean.
KEEP YOUR SHIRT ON
EFOKE any real develop
ments have occurred to
iustifv a break and be
fore the purposes of the ad
ministration have been made
known a lot of our people and
a lot of newspapers are assum
ing that the United States is as
good as at war with the kaiser
and liLs people.
Why such haste to get into
"the stew? There seems to be
plenty of war in the world; if
we want some we can easily
g?t our share without crowding
or shoving. Trouble will come j
soon enough if it never hap
wns. USURPING LOCAL PRIVI
LEGES N several occasions the
l Pendleton city council
has been importuned to
grant a franchise for another
"elephone company, ore of the
requests bem from the auto
matic phone people some years
ago. The franchise was de
nied on the ground a two
phone syteni would be an ex
pense and a nuisance to the
city.
On the other hand Pendle
ton has generally taken an at
titude of welcome toward any
prospective rival electric com
pany. A competing electric
company might easily be of
considerable benefit to the
city.
The point i that our people
iave been able to handle this
subject satisfactorily. Is it not
a fair assumption they can do
no in the future? Then why
take this power away from the
community and lodre it in the
hands of the public service
commission? How can any
one reasonably expect the com
mission to know more than do
the people of Pendleton as to
our own needs and desires? If
1Yus is true with reference to
ine community will it not be
true of others?
The East Oregonfan may be
-my dull and backward but it
r wnnot nee any public necessity
-:-r the so-called "necessity
fT7
and convenience" amendment
a lack of faith in the regula
tory efforts of the public ser
vice commission.
MUNICIPAL BONDS AS AN
INVESTMENT
3
F people would give
full
consideration to all phases
of the subject there would
be more conservatism than is
shown with reference to pay
ing higher and higher prices
for farming lands.
A farming investment de
serves a good net return on
the investment because many
elements of uncertainty enter
into the case and the question
of management is of vast im-
i portance.
i On the other hand there are
'forms of investment where a
fixed return is sure
and no
management whatever
is re-
' i quired. Investments in mum
;.vi!cipal bonds will frequently pay
better than a farming invest
ment. Such bonds in reality consti
tute a mortgage on the entire
city, school district or country,
as th case may be, as they are
payable from taxes, which
come ahead of all other liens
or mortgages and which are
levied upon practically all the
real and personal property in
the municipality. This pro
perty is irrevocably pledged
for the payment of the bonds
at maturity and. the interest
due each year.
Several excellent arguments
are given to prove their worth :
They are not affected by
business depression.
They are exempt from the
federal income tax.
They are accepted by the
government as security for the
deposit of postal savings funds.
They are easily and quickly
convertible into cash, vand it is
easy to borrow money on them.
They are a convenient form
of investment the coupons
may be clipped off and de
posited in any bank like a
check.
The banks of this country
own over $600,000,000 of mu
nicipal bonds; all the big in
surance companies own many
j millions of them ; they are the
i favorite investment of the
great savings banks.
They are issued under strict
regulations of the states.
They are easily purchased
from reliable dealers and tran
sactions by mail may safely be
undertaken.
Considering all the elements
involved the profit in owning
bonds i? remarkably hirh and
such investments should ap
peal strongly to those wanting
a safe investment, causing
them little worry or trouble.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2. Miss Anna
Martin, chairman of the national leg
islative comlttee of the congressional
union and leader of the national suf
frage lobby here, charges that presi
dent Wilson considers himself the
"leader" of his party where matters of
male suffrage are concerned, but that
he becomes a "mere follower of hts
party when woman suffrage is dis
ouesed. cient food and shelter to keep
him alive. The citizens then
joined together and gave him
a first class funeral, huge flor
al pieces being placed upon
bis grave despite the fact flow
ers are expensive at this time
of the year. It is the way of
the world. Brickbats while
you are alive and bouquets
after you are dead.
If the proposed Oregon anti-
Japanese law is all that bothers
our relations with the orient it
appears there is no reason for
alarm.

AH the small boys in St.
Paul have been wanting to
come to Pendleton to do cow
boying on a horse.
Wilson should hold that Eu
ropeans are all crazy and that
we cannot treat them as ration
al beings.
Habits are mental; you can
do without a monthly shipment
if you just think so.

in the Dayton-Walla Walla country:
That Milton "came near
