what modesty is. OF course, they
don't realize that they have sacrl4
ficed one of the sweetest charms of
their sex-something that would
make them more attractive and pret-
tier If they had 1t.
Modesty is not timidlty, or bashful-
ness, or coyness, or unsophistication.
or prudishness. or coldness 1t is a
quality as definite and distinct and
as delightful as kindness, or sympa-
thy. And its manifestation is unmis-
taxable. 1t is as lambent as a bright
smile. Men recognize it as quickly
as they recognize physical charms.
And they respect modesty in women
as thoroughly as they admire beauty.
The modest woman is the one
whose manner with men is natural,
who does not assume that immodest
air of, well, gay sir, don't try your
tricks on me-Pm mistress of the
game and then some!" The impress
sion of that sort of attitude is a chal-
lenge. 1t is dare. 1t amounts to
saying it in so many words.-Paul
Thieman, in Denver Post.

NO DICTATOR YET.

The Morning Tribune, of this city,
in its extremity of partisan narrow
mess, says, in an effort to applaud
President Roosevelt, that the presi-
dent expects to take an active part in
the election of United States senators
in several different states this win
ter.
The president would severely re-
buke such sentiment, were It enter
tanned by any considerable number of
people, He is too intelligent, too
broad, too much of an American to
foster for an instant such policy.
This sentiment is one of the red
flames of political anarchy, more
dangerous than Herr Most's widest
dream of freedom, that flashes up in
all civilized governments at times, ex-
hibiting am insane partisan fanati-
cism, that would be pitiable were it
not perilous.
Such an Interference by the chief
would be resented bitterly by the peo-
pie. The president of the United
States, under the present constitu-
tion, is the servant, not the dictator
of the people The states have re-
served certain inalienable rights, GER
tain principles of government,
guaranteed under the constitution,
which no president can usurp or
set aside!
Going back to first principles, it
must be admitted that the selection
of United States senator's by legisla-
lures is wrong and subversive of pop
uar rights. But to permit the selec-
tion of senators by dictation of Il
president would be immeasurably
more unjust and un-American.
1t is disgusting to think of pres
ident of the United States descending
from that exalted position in the
machinery of the government to mix
in partisan politics, to besmirch the
office by engaging in factional
brawl in Oregon, Montana or New
Jersey, in the selection of a United
States senator
Like any other private citizen the
president can discourage political dis
honesty by voice and pen; but he
must remember that the people yet
hold their constitutional rights; that
until the people fail to perform their |
duties the chief executive must not |
interfere in state affairs-and by all |
the sacred traditions of popular gov
ernment, he certainly must not in
terfere as a partisan, using the pow
er he holds as a club to force legis-
latures to do his personal bidding!
The United States is not ready for
dictator. Such sentiment as that
expressed by the Tribune shows the
Willingness of a woefully small class
Of abject partisan slaves to subvert
svery principle of the constitution to
accomplish partisan aims.

Several Pendleton churches are

Is ready for such work. Do the forces
OF evil ever stop to ask If the time

influence? Do they hesitate to begin
their work at any hour of the night

eide instantly that all times are aus

Of evil never sleep. Should the moral

a fact, though lamented, that the
rapid spread of wrong is made while

Desertion of families is coming to
be one of the commonest crimes on
the calendar, and Oregon has no law
for the adequate punishment of the
wretches guilty of it. Half the VIC
TINS of the reform schools, poor
houses and aid societies, come from
the desertion of a family by either a
brutal father or mother. The fami-
~ does not suffer this crime alone.
II becomes a burden on the state, in
ereases taxes by making more de-
pendents upon public charity, and
has a demoralizing effect on society.
1t is too easy for heartless beasts to
shake off the parental responsibility.
II is too easy for shallow lunatics to
wed, bring their swarms of brats into
the world and then unload them on
the tender mercies of the community.
II is too easy for giggling girls to
eiope with some penniless and BRAIN
hess "masher." against the protest of
parents and friends. When the delu-
rion and the novelty passes away.
this giggling girl either deserts a
family or is herself deserted, and the
enrollment In the poor house. the re-
form school and the charitable insti-
tuition is increased. The community
must rear the offspring Of folly.
Nothing short of five years imprIson-
nent SHOULD be given for desertlon
q a family.

good women-actually do not know

SOME COLOR SCHEMES.

Now that science has demonstrated the effects of certain colors upon the human mind, it becomes important to exercise especial care in the selection of house furnishings says writer in northern exchange. Color schemes are becoming more and more study and many nnova- tions are being introduced with delightful results. A rather daring color scheme for dining room which, however, may be made very effective, is scarlet and white. fiat white paneled wall, with touches of scarlet in the frieze, the chairs up- holstered in scarlet leather, scarlet cur l tains, and in this case the table deeora- tions must never be anything but white room is in it's way, perfect, too Work up from golden brown carpet to the palest cream imaginable in the frieze and ceil- ing; introduce ornaments in ivory and up holster the chairs in Spanish leather. A brilliant turquoise blue bowl filled with bronze and yellow chrsanthemums will give the required relief. A strip of blue ribbon on the mantelshelf hanging down at each side in stole fashion and hand somely embroidered at the ends in golds and bronzes will aid the relief, without being too insistent Persian rug. at the fireplace with blue and brown colors pre- dominating will be effective, but the blue must only be felt in the room, and not strike one on entering Dull blue and cop per color make an excellent combination. perfectly plain blue ingran Il
 frieze containing blues, greens and cop per colors, beaten coupper fender and other metal work set with blue and green enamels is the foundation of this scheme. Introduce copper color slightly into the uphosteries and hangings and keep the carpets plain blue. rather darker in tone than the wall paper. The blue trust be toned upward until it gets into quite a delicate pale shade in the cushions, etc. Shade the lights with the palest yellow.
 Blue and heliotrope are lovely together, but difficult of management, except in the hands of connoisseu: judiciously blended, however, they are hard to inn prove upon. The heliotrope must be sug- gested, not forcibly used, and with these colors the paint and paper must certainly be nothing but ivory white. Place large bunch of purple sweet peas in pale blue bowl and see the result; there Is no com bination which so quickly grows upon one. Heotrope. deepening almost into purple, is successfully introduced into yellow room.
