Secretary Taft and some heads OF
departments were at the White House
one day recently, discussing a compli-
Gated Philippine problem with the
president.
One of the party, hopeless slave
to the roundabout way the govern
ment bureaus do business, was ex-
planning at great length why a certain
proposition, advanced by the presi-
dent, was impossible.
"You see. Mr.. President" he said

THE CHINOOK WIND.

Alaska may boast of its radiant
aurora borealis, New England her
delicious twilights, deepening into the
night as a river merges with the sea,
the south may have her musical
mornings filled with the ecstacy of
awakening bird and singing forest,
the north may boast the brilliant lus-
ter of the moonlight cleaning upon
the snow fields like a robe of dia-
monds-but Oregon has her chinook
wind.
There is no other wind like it in the
world. 1t has no counterpart in ma
ture.
For weeks and months the Oregon
mountain and valley may be wrapped
in ice and snow. The limbs and twigs
may be bent with frost. The grass
may be covered and frozen and the
springs CONCEALED. At dark tonight
nature may be thus sealed up in the
embraces of winter and, lo!-
In the morning the balmy breath
of the chinook wind steals gently as
a barefoot maiden across the land.
Ice letters are silently unlocked
trees are disrobed of frost, snow
drifts melt and disappear as by some
magic influence, the buried foothills
uncover their faces and soon the bare
shoulders of the rugged mountains
are seen jutting through the snowy
robes and the CONCEALED brooklet
sings on its way, filled to overflowing
in the night.
The wondrous transformation
comes as mysteriously as a ghost in
the night. Stray breaths from the
warm Japan current that washes the
Pacific shores are sent whispering
over the mountains, and nature yields
to this tender persuasion of the sea.
The chinook wind has been the
savior Of oregon stockmen many
times in the past. It's first warm
flush has been hailed with delight
when winter clung on with tenacity
and the last haystack was diminishing
at a rapid rate.
But It is unfailing as the sea. AS
sure as the refreshing Japan currents
sweeps the Pacific shores, just so sure
will the chinook wind come to un-
lock the ice fetters and fill the brooks
and start early the buttercups on the
foothills Of Oregon.

KNOW TIiYSELF.

A teacher in one of Boston's public
schools has instructed her pupils In
hygiene and toward the end of the
term. wishing to see how well they
could remember, told them to each
write out little story of the human
body. The following is copied from
the "story" one small boy handed her,
with the confident assurance that he
knew 1t was all right, for he had
studied very hard over 1t.
1.-THE human body Is divided into
three parts; the head, tn thorax and
the abdomen.
"The head contains the brains, II
there are any; the thorax contains the
heart and the vital organs, and the
abdomen the vowels, OF which there
are five, a, e, I, o, and u, and some
times W and y."-The Household.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-02-02
STATE EXAMINER NEEDED.

The East Oregonian was the first
paper in Oregon to demand a public
accountant, state examiner of ac-
counts, and right now while the Da-
Wis trial is in progress in this coun-
ty, and while the responsibility for a
$4,000 shortage in the accounts of
the sheriff's office is being fixed, is
good time to repeat this demand.
Wyoming created the office of pub
lie accountant when the state was ad-
mitted to the union and since it has
| been a state, not one cent of loss has
been sustained by any county, district
or municipal government through
shortage in accounts.
The $4,000 shortage in Umatilla
county would pay the salary of the
state accountant for three years and
every county, every city, every school
district would be assured of accuracy
in all their accounts.
The next legislature should create
this office in Oregon.
The East Oregonian believes in
economy and would hesitate to ad
vocate the creation of any new office
which would not promise to earn its
way in public service to the people
but such an office will certainly be
an economical and sensible move.
Aside from safeguarding the peo-
ple's funds, it will guarantee all Off
cials against mistakes and crooked
ness of employees, and it is a wonder
that Oregon, as progressive as she is,
has so long neglected this matter.
Representatives and senators nom
mated this year should be pledged to
support such a law. Oregon needs it.
One lawsuit such as is now in progress
in Umatilla county brings home to
the voter the necessity of such a law.
The money paid to Umatilla county
by ex-Sheriff Blakley and Sheriff
Taylor, to balance up the shortage in
their accounts, would pay the salary
of a public examiner for three years
and not only the funds and books of
Umatilla county would be safeguarded
by such an examiner, but every coun-
ty in the state would be equally
guarded.
Don't it seem that such an official
is needed?
Should not ITmatilla county start
the agitation for this office?

editor of Town Topics, all those con-
nected with it would be forever ostra-
cized, disgraced, besmirched beyond
hope of cleansing.
But 1t causes scarcely flutter OF
dismay in the metropolis.
Those who have admitted in court
that they had paid blackmail money
to this piratical journal go about their
usual social enterprises unashamed.
They admit that they paid money
to hush up social scandals. But this
does not cause flush of shame on
their cheeks. They admit that things
happen in New York society which
must not, cannot be printed-and so
they make practice of paying hush
money.
The surface of New York society
may be smooth, glossy, attractive
but under a thin coating is a fester-
ing, stinking sore of moral leprosy.
1t is the acme and high fever of re-
fined degeneracy.
Back of the beautiful faces and
voluptuous figures in the social whirl,
lies secret and corrupt history
which would shame the most degrad-
ed bum. but which is reveled in by
the select few in delighted abase-
ment.
over s1,OO0,0O0 has been extorted
from the leading millionaires by Town
Topics, as payment for suppressing
unprintable scandals in high" life.
one dollar paid for such purposes
in Pendleton, Baker City or any other
typical American city would upturn
the social and business world there,
but in New York, the commercial
center, the fashionable mecca of the
western hemisphere, blackmail sup
preston of news, keeping rotten So
cial secrets out of public notice, is
made a profession, a studied trade.
And people do not shudder at the
tendency.
There is more danger in this refined
degeneracy than in the bold brigand-
age which comes out in the open and
attacks its victim. Where filth and
moral leprosy appears among the
lower stratas of society they are
loudly denounced and bewailed-but
this refined polished, brazen, gilded
sort is passed unnoticed by the world.
