FATE.


Two shall be born the whole wide
world apart.
And speak in different tongues, and
have no thought
Each of the others being, and no
heed,
And these DER unknown seas to un-
known lands
Shall cross, escaping wreck. defying
death.
And all unconsciously shape every
act
And bend each wandering step to this
one end
That one day, out of darkness they
shall meet
And read life's meaning in each 9TH
er's eyes.
And two shall walk some narrow way
of life
So nearly, side by side, that should
one turn
Ever so little space to left or right,
They need must stand acknowledged
face to face
anu yct WIN NltSlul eyes tHdl never
meet,
With cropping hands that never clasp,
and lips
Calling in vain to ears that never
hear,
They seek each other all their weary
days,
And die unsatisfied-and this is Fate.

UNIVERSITY DISCIPLINE.

Hazing at Annapolis, resulting in
the death of one cadet and the perma-
nent injury of others. with the vari-
Gus brutalities in other American in
stitutions of learning, are attracting
unusual attention. The incompatible
cruelty of some of these 'hoyish
pranks" seems incredible, says the
san Francisco Call.
In an Ohio college, hazers in an
excess of humor chloroformed a fel-
low student and put him on rail-
road, track where he was killed by
train. 1t was a most successful Joke,
a real side splitter. Another excel
lent piece of humor is effected by
breaking into a students room, taxi
ing him out Of a warm bed and duck
ing him in an icy pond. Several have
died Of pneumonia after this treat
ment. But it is great sport and so
necessary to college life that its pop
ularity seems on the increase.
Another branch Of college educa-
ton is the publication of a college
paper, in which these charming sports
are upheld and the faculty is guyed
and often referred to in a blackguard-
ly way that is regarded as very hu-
morous. College property is defaced
or destroyed from sense of humor.
In these actions misdemeanors and

\ FEARLESS SHERIFF.

The people of Morrow county will
be given an opportunity to express
their appreciation of the fearless and
determined sheriff, E. NJ. Shut who
has enforced the law in Morrow coun-
ty during the past two years, as it has
been enforced in no other county in
the state.
Morrow county, like all other from
tier counties, has, or did have at least,
large number of people who believed
that it was impossible to enforce the
laws on gambling and Sunday closing,
that such acts on the part of officials
would ruin town, and that the laws
on these subjects do not mean what
they say.
Shut has enforced these laws to
the letter and Morrow county and
all its towns are still on the map.
There has been no exodus of people
from Morrow county on this account,
excepting the exodus of few tin
horns who are parasites wherever
they are.
No business enterprise in Morrow
county has suspended on account of
the improved public morals and If the
people Of Morrow county appreciate
a good thing when they have it, they
will unanimously elect Shut to the
office of sheriff again.

Since l myself am old:
Not that thy youth was ever vain
Or that my age is cold;
But when upon thy gentle face

A thousand memories replace
The beauty of thy prime.
Though from thine eyes of softest

Some light has passed away,
Love still looks forth as warm and

'Tis fainter in it's tone,

Seams speaking to my own.

PENDLEToN THE CENTER.

Never before in the history of PEN
dleton has there been such activity in
the horse business as this spring. PEN
dleton is the horse buying center of
the northwest and buyers from every
northwest state have been this spring
looking over the field and securing
information as to the situation.
There is demand for good horses
now. There never was such a brisk
demand before and there never was
time perhaps, in the past 25 years,
when the ranges and pastures were as
closely culled out as now.
The introduction of the imported
stock which is now being distributed
from Pendleton should stimulate the
horse growing industry greatly, in the
inland empire.
The development of the arid lands.
the building of irrigation schemes, the
construction of railroads and other
important industrial movements in
this section will make a strong de-
mand for horses for years to come.
and the East Oregonian hopes to see
Pendleton continue in future as in the
past, the horse growing and horse
buying center of the northwest.

is 1T WORTH THE FIGHT?

John A. Mccall, who has robbed
the policyholders of the New York
Insurance company by every conceiv-
able legal method, during his term
as president of that concern, and who
has lived in luxury, splendor and
voluptuousness, to a certain degree,
is at the verge of the grave, wreck
of the high tension life enforced upon
public men by the financial and social
systems of today.
He is scarcely past the prime of
life. He is just coming into the
period of maturity and usefulness.
His capabilities are extraordinary, his
energy terrific.
Suppose he had been cast in other
surroundings where he could have
exerted his splendid forces for the
elevation and up0uilding OF his race;
suppose that instead of studying by
midnight lamps how to steal and re-
main out of Jail, he had devoted his
time to developing and adding to the
material and moral forces of the
world with equal vigor.
Would not his end have seemed
more of a calamity than under the
present circumstances? What is there
for Mccall to remain in the world
for? How will mankind be benefited
by his presence?
After all, is the fight made by the
millionaires worth the reward?

After this murder will not be a joke

dies. The rights of person are as
sacred and as much under the pro-
lection of law in college as any,
where else. 1t is a perversion of the
whole scheme of higher education to
permit the publication of college
newspapers for the purpose of encour-
aging student mobs and defying the
faculty.
The country is disguised with these
things, and unless they cease higher
education will not be sought, handi-
