SAVE THE SoRMALs.


The East oregonian believes in the
public school system more zealously
than it believes in any other public
institution. 1t believes that it under
lies the foundations of government:
that without this system and its at
tendant enlightenment, good govern
ment is impossible
Because 1t believes in the public
school system thus zealously, it be-
lieves in the principle of the normal
school. in which teachers may be
better fitted to teach in public
schools: it believes in a normal in
which the technical training so nee
essary to the life of the public school
may be given; it believes in teaching
teachers principles that are in har-
mony with the public school curdic-
ulum. in preparing them especially
to carry forward the noble work of
the public school and to this end it
believes in as many normals as a
growing state needs, in locations most
favorable to the different conditions
found in a great state.
The presence of a good school in
community uplifts that community.
The association with learned men of
high character and good morals is
lasting benefit to the locality in which
such men are located and i'm which
their activity is centered. For this
reason the East Oregonian believes in
scattering normal schools all over Or
egon. 1t believes that the people will
become imbued with the school ideal
more thoroughly. it will have tend
ency to reduce immortality and from
tier "boorishness'' to scatter the state
schools all over the country
Why should Salem be made the
beneficiary of all the educational ac-
tivity of the state? why should other
communities starve for the education-
al spirit while one city surfeits in
good things?
Because the East Oregonian thus
strongly believes in the normal school
principle, It hopes the people of Or
egon will sustain the normal appro-
priations at the polls, should the ref
erendum be invoked. Money invest
ed in public education Is not wasted
but will come back to the state a
hundred fold in future good citizen
ship. in good morals and better stand
ards of personal character. Save the
normals

city now than there has been for
several years.
More strange faces are seen hang
ing around the joints now than ever
before. More petty thievery is going
on than ever before and yet work is
plentiful and there are few idle work
ingmen in the city.
Pendleton has the reputation of
being wide open town and this rep
utation invites the worst class of
criminals in the world. Under the
shadow of open gambling and licens-
ed vice, other more dangerous trades
men are protected and permitted to
ply their vocations.
1t is impossible to distinguish be-
tween the man who follows gambl-
ing as a profession and the fellow
who initiates the gambler in appear
ance yet who follows worse trades.
If it is known that an occasional
fine is the only punishment meted out
to the violators of the law in Pendle-
ton. hundreds of daring sports will
flock here and in their company will
also come the thug, burglar, conf
dence man, foot pad and kitchen
thief. not necessarily part of a
gamblers crowd, but invited by the
same open policy and the same len
iency that invites the gambler.
A few men are benefited by the
crowd of toughs while society in gem
eral and every business house in par
ticular is imperilled by the presence
of the rough element. 1t increases
the risk of every man who walks
home at night and gives an unsavory
reputation of the city.

The Eyes of Juhad.

The Eyes of Juhad.
The portals of the synagog before
me open wide,
And slowly through them from with
in there pours a living tide.
L stand beside the steps and gaze
upon each passing face
And in the eyes of Judah read the
story of a race.
The sordid eyes of Judah-the eyes
to earth cast down,
While all unseen above them an angel
holds a crown;
The eyes of Judas fallen from saint
hood and from fame.
To gain, with his poor silver dole, an
execrated name.
The noble eyes of Judah-of men
whose great names throng
The pages of our history, whose deeds
inspire our song;
o fold of Judah fruitful throughout
the vanished years,
In statesmen, bards and martyrs, in
sages and in seers.
The warlike eyes of Judah-that sell
dom shine today, ..
As on the night when Gideon bade
three hundred trumpets play;
The eyes of David when he smote Co
Hath with stone.
OF Joshua when he stopped the moon
in fateful Ajalon.
The patient eyes of Judah-through
many hundred years.
They've lifted to Jehovah their
glances dimmed with tears.
In Ghetto and in Judenstrasse, in dun
geon and in flame.
They've watched for a Messiah, for
such as never came.
The lovelit eyes of Judah-that con-
quered hearts of stone,
That won Ahasuerus' love and guided
Persia's throne.
Today, o glorious Esther! the lights
of Purim shine
In memory of the conquest of those
brave eyes of thine.
The cruel eyes of Judah-that saw
the thorny crown
Upon His bleeding temples by heavy
b. hands pressed down.
And cleaned when scornful laughter
with mocking shouts did blend,
'If Thou be truly Son of God, now
from the cross descend"

EXPERT THE BOOKS.

While the East Oregonian would
not increase the county expenses need
lessly yet it is nothing but justice to
the officials, taxpayers and people in
general to expert the county records
This action on the part of the
county court is in no wise a reflection
on the integrity of any official, but
is a plain business duty which the
court owes to the people.
Other counties have found it profit
able to expert the books although no
mistakes in any record were found.
1t is a safeguard and a protection to
the official, for no man is infallible
and even though it is known in ad-
vance that the books of the county
are in perfect condition, yet mistakes
creep into the best regulated business
and it is considered good business
judgment to take an accounting from
time to time.
The books of Umatilla county have
not been exported. for years and it is
a good investment to do so now. How
many private enterprises of the same
magnitude go as long without inves-
tigation?

The Independent is responsible for
the following yarn about a former
secretary of the navy, newly appoint
ed by some mysterious pull, from an
inland state where battleships or any
other kind of ships apparently, had
been scarce articles. His first tour
of inspection took him on board a
batrleship. Seeing an open hatchway
he peered into it, but withdrew his
head, suddenly exclaiming, why, by
c., the id thing is hollow"

shrewdness, sharpness, cunning and
long -headedness are the best qualities
for winning success.1Sunday Ore

replied the courtier. "Give me, in

the Holy Land, "one fact in support of

might well be, Jerusalem and its en-

The same reliable journal has the
following by a lady writer: ''The man
who has been vanquished in an argu-
ment it'll his wife is as pitiable an
object as If she had spanked him. Be
sides, she has reduced him in the
scale of things by cOnvicting him of
having wronged a woman. They all
do it, to be sure, but we should never
let them know that we know it. For
no proper minded woman would wish
to live with a man who no longer
dared to assume the heroic pose be-
fore her, and who had lost his natural
sense of being the lord of creation" :"
Much has been said now and again
about the California climate. An
Irishman returning home from that
part of the world the other day, was
accosted by an Englishman, who said:
II believe there are different climates
near each other out there" "Well, to
give you an idea, was shooting one
day and my dog set himself across
ditch. I was surprised to find, on
giving him the usual token to start,
| that he remained still. Going to him
to see why, 1 found that his tail was
frostbitten on one side of the ditch
and his head was sunstruck on the
other" Tutuilla, March 1.

Some of the greatest discoveries in
physics and chemistry have been made
with the simplest forms of apparatus
and under the most modest conditions
Of laboratory equipment. One need only
recall the achievements of the famous
John Dalton and in later time Of Sir
Gabriel Stokes to illustrate the point.
AS regards the latter. comment OF
Lord Rayleigh Is Of interest. Stokes
experimental work, he says, was exc
cuted with the most modest appliances.
Many of his discoveries were made in a

his house, into the window Of which be

a bracket on which to place crystals
and prisms.-London Telegraph.

A Silver Bridge.

At Roumanian weddings it is the Gus
tom at the wedding feast for the groom to
receive his bride over bridge of silver.
Coins are placed in double row across
the table, and over this the bride dainty
steps to her husbands waiting arms.
The ceremony of laying the bridge is
one of the interesting events Of the we'd
ding feast following the religious ceremony.
When the guests are brought to proper
spirit of festivity by the good cheer at the
board space at the head of the table is
cleared and from a bag are drawn silver
coins procured for the purpose, the proper
provision being the production of coins
fresh from the mint.
These are laid in a double row across
the table, and when all is ready the father
of the groom makes speech to his son,
admonishing him to see that his bride :
way through life is always paved with
silver
4 proper response is made, and mount
ing chair, the elder man swings the
bride lightly to the table. Carefully avoid
ing the displacing of coin { for that would
mean bad luck the girl makes her way
across the short silver pathway and leaps
into the arms of her spouse.
At wedding feasts where ostentation is
desired the bridge is built lengthwise OF
the table.
