FRENCH OIL FIELDS.
H. H. Robinson Goes on a Tour
of Inspection.

Mr.. H. Hardie Robinson left
last night for New York, from
which, point he sails on the
steamer Lorrain for Paris, France,
where he will join a party of
French capitalists. They will
proceed to Roumania at once to
make an investigation of the oil
fields of that country. The French
capitalists are owners of extensive
oil interests in Roumania. and it
is the object of Mr.. Robinson's
visit there TO study conditions,
with view of investigating the
feasibility of introducing the
rotary drilling method in that
country. If the rotary method
appears satisfactorily advan-
tageous, Mr.. Robinson will return
Immediately and purchase one or
more rotary outfits, such as are
used in Southeast Texas, and
select full crews of competent
drillers and helpers TO return with
him to Roumania and operate on
large scale i'll that field.
Mr.. Robinson is Frankfort
boy who has come to the front in
his Texas home. We rejoice tt
see the prominence he has at
tanned. He is u son of Mrs.
Louise Hardie Cleveland, of Texas.

The Best Guaranty of Merit
Is Open Publicity.

Every bottle of DR.. Pierce's world
famed medicines leaving. the great labo--
ratory at Buffalo, n. Y, has printed
upon its wrapper all the ingredients
entering into its composition. This fact
alone places DIR. Pierce's Family Medi-
cines IN class all by themselves. They
cannot be claSsed with patent or secret
medicines because they are neither. This
is why so many unprejudiced physicians
prescribe them and recommend them TO
their patients. They know what they
are composed of, and that the ingredients
are those endorsed by the most eminent
medical authorities.
The further fact that neither DR..
Pierce'S Golden Medical Discovery, the
great stomach tonic. liver invigoratOr,
heart regulator and blood purifier, nor his
UFavOrite Prescription for weak, over
worked, broken down, nervous women,
contains any alcohol, also entities them
to place all by themselves.
Many years ago. DIR. Pierce discovered
that chemically pure glycerne. of proper
strength. is Il better solvent and preServ-
alive of the medicinal principles reSid-
ing i'm our indigenous. or native, medl-
cinal plants than is alcohol; and. further
more. that il possesses valuable medicinal
properties of its own, being demulcent,
nutritive, aEtiseptic, and most efficient
antiterment.
Neither of the above medicines con-
tainS alcohol, or any harmful, habit
forming drug, as will be seen from a
glance at the formula printed on each
bottle wrapper. They are safe To use and
potent to cure.
Not only do physicians prescribe the
above. non-Secret medicines largely, but
the most intelligent people employ them
people who would not think of using
the ordinary patent, or secret medicines.
Every ingredient entering into the COM
position of DR.. Pierce'S medicines has
the strongest kind of an endorsement
from leading medical writers of the
several schools of practice. No other
medicines put up for like purposes has
any such professional endorsement.
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure con-
stipation. Constipation is the cause of
many diseases. Cure the cause and you
cure the disease. One 0Pellet" is a gentle
laxative. and two mild cathartic. Drug
gists sell them, and no hing is "just as
good" Easy to take Us andy.

THE RIVER OF REST.

A beautiful stream is the River OF
Rest;
The still, wide waters sweep clear
and cold,
a tall mast crosses a star in the West
4 white sail CLEANS in the West
worlds gold;
1t leans to the shore of the River OF
Rest
The lily-lined shores of the River of
Rest.
The boatman rises, he reaches hand;
He knows you well, he will steer
you true,
And far, so far from all ills upon land,
From hates, from fates that pursue
and pursue:
Far over the lily-lined River of Rest
Dear mystical, magical River of Rest.
A storied, sweet stream is this River
of Rest:
The souls of all time keep its ulti-
mate shore:
And journey you East, or journey you
West,
Unwilling or willing, surefooted, OF
sore,
Your surely will come to this River
OF Rest
This beautiful, beautiful River OF
Rest.

COMMENDs EAST OREGONIAN.

The East Oregonian is really in
earnest in espouzing the cauze of SIM
plified spelling reform, saws the Athe-
ma Press. While the change to tho
fonetic system IL so radical that a
storm of criticizm IL being hurled at
the Pendleton paper, its action 10
strongly commended by such influen-
tial newspapers az the Boize States
man and London Truth.
All joking aside, Bert Huffman and
his East Oregonian are both in the
right channei-the deep water chan
nel, where other journalistic craft will
finally steer with their cargo OF re-
formed spelling. tho perhaps in not
such large quantities as at present
carried by the Pendleton paper.
There are words in the English Ian.
gudge of common usage, that needed
fixing" from the time of their syl-
Liable formation and introduction for
articulation--words which are at var
lance relatively with letter formation
and pronunciation.
Many Of these letter formations will
quickly melt AWAY and become alb
sorbed in the new category of fonetic
spelling. while others will stand the
usage OF time as they have stood in
the past.

THE WHITE MANS SIN.

The black mans passion and hatred
today are the harvest of the white
mans sin, centuries ago.
When the first slave ship anchored
in the harbors of the New World his
tory wrote the outlines of the Atlanta
horror of last Sunday. When the first
chained slave slept on the American
shore, the long conflict in the south
between black and white was launcht
into existence.
This conflict has not yet begun. The
negro race is increasing at a remark
able ratio, and as it grows the race
problem becomes more prominent on
the public stage.
The wisdom of the white man of the
goth century must devize some prac-
tical and logical answer to the cry of
the race question. The ripening fruit
Of the sins of our fathers must be
garnered today, bitter as 1t seems.
Commerciallsm. at once the curse
and the blessing Of the world, planted
u most poisonous wrong when 1t con-
ceived the system of human slavery
We are face to face with its rezultS
today.

NO CONCEPTION OF PROGRESS.

The Eugene Guard has taken par
ticular pains to criticize the East Or
egonian for attempting to make pro-
gress in the way of spelling reform
The Guard has not adopted this re-,
form. nor any other. 1t seemingly has
no conception of progress. 1t is sim
ply marking time in its old tracks
while the world is swiftly passing by.
Its last screed in favor of the old
way Of spelling is becauze the New
York Evening Post, once edited by
William Cullen Bryant, is a model of
elegant language and has not chang
ed its system since 1t was founded
over a century ago.
This is the very first reazon why it
should not be adopted as a standard
for it has stood still while everything
else has made progress.
Would the Guard wish to cling to
the industrial methods of a century
ago, as we'll as to the spelling Of a
century ago? How would it like the
old omnibus Of the New York noun
tains of 1910? How would it like the
old printing press OF that date? Would
it care to trade its typewriter for the
quill pens uzed by the Evening Post
a century ago?
1t says If we change the form of
spelling we will become strangers to
the Bible, Shakespeare, Jonson, Chau-
Ger.
Tush. The Bible was written in
Syriac, then in Greek, then in somo
other of the early languages and tha
Bible today Is not the first Bible writ
ten by any means. Its entire Erase
ology has been changed and its CEN
tral theme is practically all that re-
mains intact. Its form of expression,
and even its meaning, has been alter
ed by the progress Of the centuries.
As for Shakespeare. Jonson and
Chaucer. what authority had they to
fix irrevocably, the language OF the
future any more than the East Ore
goninn has: They were common men,
not very much appreciated in their
day becauze Of their eccentricities.
II all old usages were to be retained,
the Guard would still be riding on
horseback to Portland instead Of rid
ticket

"LIGHT' AT POCATELLO.

Daniel T. Frawley. the veteran ac-
tor, tells the following experience at
Pocatello, Idaho, while touring the
west recently:
Away up in Pocatello, Idaho, few
years ago, I was presenting a third
company in the old favorite, Blue
jeans.'' The electric lights OF the city
were controlled by two political fac
tions, the city and the railway COM
pany.
Some accident had knocked the
city's supply off, and the railroad COM
panys men had gone on a strike, and
in consequence at s o'clock the whole
city was in darkness. I sent out tc
buy candles; but they made a ghostly
flicker as footlights. / was in despair
when the colored doorkeeper burst ir
upon me. "Say, boss, there's a bis
headlight on the engine in the com
pany's yard"
Bring it here, and I'll give yor
s1Ou / shouted.
"You bet I will! But If they ketcf
me-
Bring 1t along!"
The boy returned in a few minutes
his eyes rolling in glee at the though
of his promised ten.
placed the headlight at the bach
Of the auditorium, down the center
aisle, and threw all of the light upor
the stage, and then we proceeded with
the play.

Because he must MUNICH at a moldy

Half heartedly where the strong

And ne'er at the gate of success ar

But sits with the failure, at the end.

JOKES, BUT NO ARGUMENT.

While the East Oregonlan enjoys
very much the jokes of the editor OF
the Tribune on the question of public
ownership Of railroads, It is surprized
at the total absence of argument pro-
duced in favor Of private ownership.
The East oregonian had hoped that
It would be enlightened somewhat by
the arguments made by its contem-
porary in the discussion Of this fore
most issue.
Instead Of replying to the very few
points made by the East Oregonlan
in favor Of municipal and government
ownerzhip of public utilities. the edl-
ter Of the Tribune wanders away, in
a Joking rnood, 70 government owner
chip Of nswspapsrs which is not de.

manded nor Included in any govern
ment ownership propaganda, and
which is introduct into the issue for
the purpose Of diverting attention
from the real evil-the railroad mo-
nopoly and its abuses.
why does not the Tribune offer
some excuse for private ownership of
electric lighting plants, in face Of the
fact that municipal ownership has re-
duct the cost from one-third to
half?
These are cold facts and cannot be
answered by Joking.
The Tribune says the public is a
moneyless and unknown quantity and
could not buy the railroads, yet it
does not reply to the accuzation that
the people, thru their representatives
bilt and equipt the Union Pacific,
Central Pacific and Northern Pacific
railroads at a cost of hundreds of mil
lions, in addition to- giving them ar
empire of the public domain.
If the people" is an unknown and
disorganized power in the land as the
Tribune says how can the people pay
S35, 100000 per year thru congress
sional dishonesty. to the railroads for
carrying the mails? Sufficient graft
is extorted from the people on the
mail carrying contract every year to
bid every mail car in the United
States. Yet the Tribune lodges this
issue and attempts to joke the entire
question out of sight.
If the government owned the rail-
roads, it would not attempt to make
a profit of s2,OOO,OOO on 100 miles
Of track as is done in the northwest.
by running only a limited number of
trains to cut down expenses, but it
would give service adequate to the
needs cf the community.
The government would not force
people to stand in aisles of passenger
coaches, as is done at prezent, but
having only the interests of the public
as a goal would expand its service as
countries grew and population became
more dense. The whole object of the
pcstoffice system is to serve the peo.
pie in the best possible way is it not
Why would not the government rail
road have the same ultimate aim?
Squeeze the watered values out o
the railroads and the people can yer,
eazily buy them. They are today val
ued at one-thlrd more than homes
laws OF finance would justify.
As long as railroads can buy an,
keep in their possession such publi
