ETHICS OF TRANSFORMATION.

A Wdstern railway man tells of a
road in Arkansas built long ago, a
road that had all the weaknesses to
which neglected systems are exposed.
The ballast was thin, the grades heavy,
and the ties rotten. Nearly all pas
sengers travelling by this road pro-
vided themselves with accident poll
cies, although, as matter of fact,
there was not much danger, as the
trains were not given to sprinting, and
the regular accidents used to occur
without very serious results. Train
men had by long practice learned
when to jump, and the passengers, by
following their example, Jared just
as well.
The fastest train went at the rate
when the wind was not unfavorable-
of 10 miles ain hour, and so was called
the Little Rock Express.
One day the Little Rock Express
jumped the track and went tearing
into a cornfield. While the rest of
the trainmen were sitting in the shade
waiting for the wreck train, the con-
ductor came up, saying to the, sngir
neer:
Bill, I am afraid you're in for it
this time, l miss my guess If you
don't get fired for this"
"Ah, g'wan," exclaimed Bill. at
wasn't my fault: it was the fault of
the rotten old road. Besides, we get
derailed on an average of three times
a week. The superintendent wouldn't
know what to think If we kept the
track for 10 days running"
That's all right, Bill" rejoined the
conductor, but you're off the right of
way. So long as you keep on the
right of way it doesn't matter much;
but we have no business in this mans
corn field, and you know it."-Harp-
er's Weekly

CHIyALRY OF THE RED MAN.

Near the end of a brilliant match
between our oldest university and the
Carlisle Indians, one of the Indian
backs suddenly got away with the
ball and was off down the field with
nothing between him and the goal
posts but one man. If the runner
succeeded in getting by him it meant
everlasting athletic glory for himself
and victory for his small college over
the mighty institution of learning, con-
tanning the flower of the civilization
which had swept his forefathers away
from the lands they once possessed.
The crowd in the stands had arisen,
gasping in excitement, as crowds al
ways do at such moments. But just
as he had almost gained the coveted
line that one man, a famous sprinter,
brought the runner down with a beau
tiful tackle. The stands rocked with
relief and the usual 'piling up" Of
other players took place.
AS the two lay there, together, the
'fair-haired representative of New
England, while still clasping the dark
skinned descendant of American saw
agery, felt something fumbling and
presently became aware, at the bot
| tom of the heap that his right hand
was being shaken. Good tackle"
muttered the Indian.-Outing.

the growing towns of eastern Oregon
gives a deeper enthusiasm to the
friends of the Weston normal, eastern
orogon's only state school, 1t spurs
them to greater activity, to more he
roic efforts to make the normal second
to none in the entire west.
How much more capable of doing
their work, properly and with zeal
and willingness, must teachers be who
feel that the state is interested in
their welfare? How much better are
they fitted for their life work where
they see the kindly hand of the state
offering them the priceless boon of
education, which many of them would
not be able to secure otherwise?
The excellent meeting in this city
has clinched all arguments in favor
of hearty support and needed exten-
sion of the Weston normal.

WHAT MAKES \ TOWN?

People all over the northwest are
amazed at the alleged rapid growth
CT Walla Walla. The movement of
that city to enlarge its limits to take
in a number of suburban settlements
for the purpose of increasing its pop
ulation to 10000, is attracting wide
spread attention to it.
Pack of this growth there must be
something permanent something
which attracts good citizenship and
holds it, What is this attraction, is
asked?
Schools schools and schools!
Walla Walla devotes all her energies
to building up her schools, public and
private. This is her talisman, this is
the touchstone of her success.
People with money, in search Of
good schools, are attracted there. Her
climate is not superior to that OF
Pendleton. Her transportation facili
ties are second class in every way
But she banks" on her schools.
This is a hint and a lesson to Pen.
dleton. Give Pendleton good privat
schools which will he able to NEE
the demands upon them, in addition
to her excellent public schools and sh
will leap ahead at an astounding rate
The country to support such school
Is tributary to Pendleton. The peopT
in this surrounding country want tn
schools, and if the facilities are foun
here these people will come here.
This is Pendleton's greatest hope
Her next greatest hope is in the irri
cation development in the surround
ing country.
But let us build up the schools
Let US make it profitable for peopl
to come here to be educated.
There must be something substar
tial, something useful, something al
tractive to hold population.

THE FAT OF THE LAND.

The incompatible Dooley, in his
Dissertations, which the Harpers have
just published takes up, with his
ever delightful humor, among host
of other subjects one that is near
the heart of many a woman.

to be thin onless she IS thin? TIL idee
iv female beauty that all gr-reat men

is much more like a barl thin a

exander's wife an Caesars missus

an Andrew Jackson's good woman

THE PULLMAN EXTORTION.

II YOU have regarded the Pullman
porter as Il type of greed, look for a
moment at his environment BY voting
stock dividend of $26,O00,000 at its
annual meeting, the Pullman company
has rounded out an astonishing rec
ord for the last eight years.
1t is estimated that the profits paid
on each share of Pullman stock in that
period amount to asa per cent.
To drain off ar accumulated surplus
cf S27,OO0,OOO. each holder of 100
shares is now presented with SO addi-
tional shares.
Yet there has been in these eight
years no reduction in the price of ac-
commodations for patrons of the
Pullman cars.
Nor has there been any noticeable
increase in the wages of Pullman en-
ployes.
Nor any improvement of service.
The steady growth of public patron
| age seems to suggest to the Pullman
directors nothing but an enormous
growth of profits and an increase OF
capital stock to blind the public to
the profits.
There is fine chance for the inter
/ state commerce commission. The new
rate law places the Pullman service
under the commissions supervision.
The charges of the Pullman com.
pany for its service are absurdly high
The continued extortion is entirely
without justification.
Under modern conditions of trave
the Pullman service is no longer z
mere luxury. but necessity.
1t is time this greedy corporation
be set to thinking about some othe
things than secret division Of enor
nous profits.

EASTERN OREGON TEACHERS.

over 300 eastern Oregon school
teachers are assembled in Pend'eton
for three days this week in their an
nuaI convention. And this large num-
Der does not include all those en-
ployed in the eastern oregon coun-
ties.
When one considers the Importance
Of this number of school teachers in
the plans of society and government,
It is realized how necessary it must
be to prepare teachers properly, give
them high ideals, fit them thoroughly
and give them the opportunity to keep
pace with the times.
Now necessary, then, to have such
a school as the Weston normal in
every part Of the state where teachers
may be fitted for their work under
the most favorable conditions How
necessary that each section Of the
state. especially Of n large state like
Oregon. have training schools where
teachers may receive the best possible
equipment at the least possible ex.
pense-tfor the profession is under
paid.)

scattered country schools and from

IN LOVE WITH LIFE.

In love with life from hour to hour
l steal a kiss or Gull a flow'r.
And If through weeds my pathway
leads
/ look above where mountains tow'r,
For life is good and love is holy.
In love with life from day to day
Triumphantly I go my way;
In storm or rain, in peace or pain,
No circumstance can me dismay,
For life is good and love Is holy.
In love with live from night to night
/ wander on in deep delight;
In storm and calm find some balm
To heal all wounds or great or slight
For life is good and love is holy.
In love with life from year to year
tread the pathway without fear;
In joy or gloom, by home or tomb
I gather up bright threads Of cheer,
For life is good and love is holy.
In love with life from rose to rose.
/ view the seasons, how they close,
And soon or late, in love or hate,
l find the honey life bestows,
For life is good and love Is holy.

THE SOUL OF THE SINGER.

We read the song that is written
\ few little, grotesque signs,
Arranged in a certain meter.
With rhymes at the ends of the
lines;
And by the thought of the music
Some chord in our hearts is stirred
Pvt the song in the soul of the singer
Is never heard.
The one who hest sees the picture
Is he with the soul for art,
The one who best reads the poem
Is he with the poet heart.
The thoughts that are rarest an,
sweetest
Are deepest from sight inferred,
The song in the soul of the singer
Is never heard.
Some warnings may not be spoken;
Some loves are so wholly blest,
Some dreams are so tinged witt
heaven
They never can be expressed.
We miss the intangible something
Behind the veil of the word,
Is never heard
The song in the soul of the singer
We meet, but are veiled in spirit;
Familiar, and yet unknown;
A realm Of our inmost beings
Where we are alone, alone.
In each is a strain peculiar
On 10 other heart conferred,
The song in the soul of the singer
Is never heard.

CAR SHORTAGE HURTS.

The evils of the car shortage are
not all confined to the fuel famine.
The general business of the country
districts is materially affected by it.
Because of the scarcity of cars, cat
tie are being held in the ranges and
wheat in the warehouses. Money
which should be in circulation in the
farming and stockraising districts is
absent for these reasons.
Merchants, banks-all classes of
business in the smaller places feel the
hand of the car shortage. There is a
scarcity not only Of cars, but of busi-
ness activity, of money, of trade, of
everything that makes up the life Of
these communities.
Something should be done to per-
manently remove all possibility of Il
recurrence of this injurious car short

"After all" says the Gainesville
Sun, sis not everybody about as bad
as anybody" Yes, providing he does
not wear the judicial ermine. We
place the judge on so high a pedestal
that, according to Jerome, the presi-
dent of the United States dare not
criticise him. The judge may criticise
the president and the governors of
the states, even so ordinary an indi-
vidual as an editor of a newspaper is
granted that privilege, but he who
wears the ermine is separate and
apart. He is infallible and above criti-
cism. But Thomas Jefferson, Ben
Franklin, John Hancock, John Adams,
and whole host of our revolutionary
ancestors, held to an entirely differ
ent doctrine. They criticised the king
and his court, and if they had not
possessed that courage, it would have
made very little difference to us
whether everybody is as bad as any
body or not.

Whatever he may have once been,
Tom Watson has got over being mod
est. He prints numerous letters in his
magazine which read something like
this: 81 believe Tom Watson is the
greatest American" 81 believe Tom
Watson strictly honest" Long live
Tom Watson!" 81 believe Tom Wat
son is one of the Lords anointed!"
But perhaps Tom is like the balance
of us, he likes to have these little
bouquets thrown at him. We somehow
or other all enjoy their beauty and
fragrance. We like ito see ourselves
as others see us" when they magnify
our virtues.

The Punta Gorda Herald accuses
the Tallahassee True Democrat with
assaults against the integrity of Gov
ernor Broward. We have seen no in
dications of such assaults in the col
umns of that excellent and fearless
newspaper. On the contrary Editor
Collins has always affirmed that the
Governor is an honest man, honestly
devoted to his policies, but misad-
vised by his friends, concerning the
methods he is pursuing to accomplish
his purposes.-St. Augustine Record
And yet, admitting all this to be
true, we nave never been able to es-
cape the lively suspicion that there
was a deal of madness in the govern
or's methods, and that his friends"
were just workin' him.-Palatka

No, Claude L'Engle's Sun is not
supporting Hon. John NJ Graham, of
Manatee, for speaker of the house of
representatives of the Florida legisla-
ture, but the columns of the Sun are
devoting some very graphic pictures
to the busy life of this really interest
ing legislator. Some of the chapters
mingle the shadows and the sunshine,
but generally the phases are dramat-
ically shady. Johns life hardly reads
like he is born cracker" He has
ballooned away beyond the average.
His genius for finance is so great that
he disturbed the repose of old Liberty
county, in her sleepy days, before the
turpentine boom struck us, and did
transactions there amounting way up
into the six figures. Johns career in
the "frenzied finance" line makes Tom
Lawson's articles in "Everybodys
appear tame. He is suing the Sun for
civil damages and Editor L'Engle for
criminal libel.

FLORIDA IN THE PRESIDENTS
CABINET.

AS an illustration of the lengths to
which a mans speculative fancy may
run regard the suggestion of the
Ocala Banner as to the advisability
of Mr.. William Sherman Jennings be-
ing member of Bryan's cabinet in
case Bryan should be elected presi-
dent, as live, energetic sample. Con-
ceding that the election of Bryan is a
probability one gets lost in the maze
of probabilities when contemplating
the probable choice of Bryan's cabi-
net. In the first place it is barely visi-
BILE upon the horizon of possibilities
that Florida will be considered in the
bestowal of these important positions,
but If ones imagination can carry
him so far as to count Florida in the
running, it would require such fur
Their stretch as would be certain to
break it, to conjure William Sherman
Jennings as the proper representative
of Florida. In the first place, he is
not a Floridian. His election to the
Office of governor was one of those POI
litical accidents that happen when
the battle is fierce and to the death
between strong men. Florida could
not be properly represented in Bry-
ans cabinet if William Sherman Jen-
nings, whose very appellation stamps
him as a man of antecedents and
affiliations Objectionable to all true
Floridians, were selected He does
not even now represent considera-
BILE following. His last attempt to get
Office in this state was so conspicuous
failure that it should shut him out
from the consideration of people who
are really careful as to the selection
of things to consider.-Tallahas
Sun
This paper made the suggestion as
a bare possibility. Still, stranger
things have happened. What does it
constitute to become Floridian! Is
twenty-five years residence not sufi-
cient? If not, how long? Then, too,
why should a man be censured for the
name his parents gave him? Instead,
he should be censured if he repudi-
ates his name Vicar1ous punishment
does not appeal to the generality of
men.
