UPHoLDS THE PRESIDENT.

It has been asserted by several Or
egon papers that the Portland Oregon
ian was opposed to the recent extern
sion of Oregon forest reserves by
the president. The following review
of the public land situation in oregon
by the Oregonian does not sound much
like that paper was opposed to the
protection of the forests. 1t says:
As often as forest reserves have been
created or enlarged, self-seeking per-
sons have raised their voices in pro-
test, saying that the lands withdrawn
are practically lost to settlement and
use.
Now again, since the large with
drawals made by the presidents or
der of March 2, the same wall has
gone up again, and is echoed in sew
eral newspapers in oregon. Immedi-
ately after this order, before the bu-
reau of forestry explained the liberal
policy that would follow for use of
the reserved lands, there was reason
to believe that the reserve plan was
being overdone. But now, when it is
seen that the reserve enlargement will
not bar use of the lands for settlement
that reason does not have weight.
Opposition to reserve engagements
comes from persons who are shut out
of particular tracts of land which
they wish to take for speculation.
While this may not be the case in
every instance it is so in such a great
majority as to establish the rule

Somehow, by and by, they came to
see the advantage of communal effort,
and just as women say to one an
other now, "If you'll wash the dishes
I'll wipe them" one female bee said
to the other, "I'll be the mother If
you'll get the living" 1t was bar
gain, and the accommodating females
took drones in to board.
The queen of a bee hive does not
rule, she lays eggs. She does not mind
the babies. She does not even do her
own digesting, let alone getting the

to be fed continually, for at certain

indeed, for more than half her weight

queen will lay 100000 eggs. Nc

LEARN WHILE YOU CAN.

Knowledge and skill are always
wise investments. One of the most
foolish notions young men sometimes
get is that accomplishments for which
they have no present need are of no
value to them. l know a young man
VINO had a most excellent opportunity
to learn to use the typewriter. His
work didn't require the knowledge
and he let the opportunity pass-even
though urged to spend his spare time
in the office in practicing. Later he
came to a place where that knowl-
edge would have given him a desira-
BILE promotion, but he had to see the
work go to another.
The progressive man is always seek
ing to equip himself for higher work
even though the opportunity to use
the knowledge is not apparent at the
time.
Few investments are so sure and
profltoble as the effort to equip one
| self in the four fundamental accom-
| plishments-how to think accurately
and comprehensively, how to express
| thought in talking and writing, how
| to work skillfully with the hands, and
how to take ones place among men
For out of these accomplishments
grow the highest forms of human ac-
ltivity-commerce, manufacture, art
executive ability, productive power
salesmanship; literature, music
drama; reputation, skill and charac'

WAIKIKI.

The cocoa, with its crest of spears,
Stands sentry round the crescent
shore,
And algaroba, bent with years,
Keeps watch beside the lanai door,
The cool winds fan the mango's
cheek,
The mynah fits from tree to tree.
And zophyrs to the roses speak
Theii sweetest words at Waikiki.
Like truant children of the deep,
Escaped behind coral wall,
The lisping wavelets laugh and leap,
Nor heed old oceans stern recall.
All day they frolic with the sands,
Kiss pink-lipped shells in wanton
glee,
Make windrows with their patting
hands,
And, singing, sleep at Waikiki.
The closing curtain of the night
Is shading down the gold to gray,
And on the reef the flaring light
OF brown-armed fisher, far away,
Dyes red the waves that thunder by
The sturdy bulwarks of the sea,
And, breaking into riplets. die
Upon the breast of Waikiki
o Waikiki! y scene of peace!
D home of beauty and of dreams
No haven in the isles of Greece
Can chord the harp to sweeter
themes;
| For houris haunt the broad lanais,
! While scented zephyrs cool the lea,
And, looking down from sunset skies,
! The angels smile on Waikiki

THE BORROWED GLORIES.

The Portland Oregonian and the
Oregon Daily Journal are now engag-
ed in a wordy battle over the alleged
plagiarisms of the press, each accusing
the other of stealing some of their
most eloquent flights of journalistic
preaching.
Half of the glory we wear is bor-
rowed glory, If we get at the bottom
of it, and find its source. No one
man ever made a system of thought
or doctrine alone. He borrowed
much of his best thought and senti-
ment from others and often from the
most unexpected sources.
No newspaper is absolutely free
from plagiarism. Men think alike
and often express themselves in SINH
lar language in writing and speaking
Of identical subjects.
Every orator finds himself tread
ing on the brink of other mems elo-
quence at times. Every writer in
fringes, If not in letter, at least in
spirit, upon the most charming ex-
pressions which he may have absorb
ed in his reading. 1t is impossible
to steer clear of every expression
which has been given form by some
writer at some time.
Henry Watterson says that his most
fascinating images are often culled
from the conversations of street
urchin. Henry w. Grady said that he
culled his best stories and often his
most touching pathos from the every
day life of negro families with whom
he was familiar.
And so it goes. Some of our most
glittering glories shine with borrow.
ed luster If the world only knew 1t
No man stands absolutely alone. We
lean upon others, we cling to others
we follow others unconsciously and II
Is no sin.
No self-respecting newspaper will
absolutely appropriate anything wor'
thy, but every newspaper and every
man, repeats the thoughts of other!
every day and often gets much praise
for it.
Thought is as limitless and elusive
as the air we breathe sand no mar
can corner It.

NEW YoRK,s NEW AQUEDUCT.

Now that New York city formally
has taken title to a strip of ground
200 feet wide and 90 miles long,
stretching from the city line to the
Ashokan reservoir in the Catskills,
all is in readiness for beginning real
work on the aqueduct. 1t is on this
enterprise that the city plans to
spend $161, 900, 900 to provide an
adequate source of water supply for
its inhabitants for generations to
come.
It is along this strip of land, to
which title has been taken, that the
great aqueduct will be built to bring
hundreds of millions of gallons of
water daily from the Catskill noun
tains to the city. Now that the le-
gal transfer of the property has been
made, contracts will be awarded
shortly for the building of the work.

other way in which to secure a build
ing than through a gift from the Car
negie library fund, why, let us take
the gift and convert it into thing
of beauty and in the enjoyment which
the future generations of Pendleton
may receive from it, the taint of the
money and the methods of its giver
will be overshadowed.
It may be weak defense to say
that somebody is going to take the
money If Pendleton does not. OF
course that does not change the
status of the "taint" but if the money
is put to a good use and made a
benefit to the people of the city, then
at least, as in the fable, a beautiful
flower of pleasure and enlightenment
may grow upon the grave of Carne-
gie's foul methods.

THE RAILWAY DEATH ROLL.

In the 10 years since the interstate
commerce commission began the COL
lection of facts about accidents, near
ly 5000 passengers, over $4,000 en-
ployes and nearly 10000 other per-
sons have been killed on American
railways, and nearly 100000 more
have been crippled or MANNED, scald-
ed or crushed, disfigured or invalided;
and we still make no protest. For a
country that has pride in itself and
its progress" this seems to me a
humiliating situation. But the still
more humiliating fact is that condi-
tons grow worse year by year.
In 1905 1t was twice as dangerous
to travel on railway train or to work
for a railway company in the United
States as 1t was in 1S95.-Carl Snyder

Sunday Closing in Walla Walla.

When saloon men begin to file in
formations against each other for
Sunday closing it begins to look as
though the Sunday closing law
would be enforced TO the letter, says
the Walla Walla Bulletin. At the

II. Van Buren. who, until recently.
has been conducting the Blsmark sa-
loon, filed an affidavit setting forth
that Adalph Schwartz, proprietor Of
the Fountain saloon, was keeping
his business open on Sundays, and a
motion was made and carried direct
ing the chief of police to swear out
warrant for the arrest of Schwartz

TAINTED" MONEY.

The East Oregonian has advocated
a Carnegie library building for PEN
dleton in the past and will do every
thing It can now, to secure such a
building, while at the same time de-
spising the methods by which Carnegie
accumulated his money
It is a difficult matter to draw the
delicate line of demarkation between
clean and unclean money. In fact,
as far as the money itself is concerned,
4. is neither clean nor unclean, but
It is the man who accumulates 1t who
wears the stigma.
What sticks in the throat of the
East Oergonian in the acceptance of
a gift from Carnegie or Rockefeller
is the fact these plutocrats feel in CIV
ing away their ill-gotten wealth, that
they are buying peace from the pub
lie; that they are able with few dol
lars to hush up the protest from the
public against their robberies.
The acceptance Of money from
these men is somewhat mitigated by
the fact that It really comes back to
the public from whom 1t was taken
by them and so It has compensating
features.
Pendleton needs and must have the
library building where the excellent
library now owned by the Commercial
association may become a useful and
appreciated asset and IL there is NJ

The ever-refreshing statement of
Pendleton people who return from the
east, that Umatilla county is the best
place on earth, increases the attach
ment of Umatilla county people to
the county. With all its bustling
commercial activity and astounding
enterprise, yet the east lacks the hu-
man touch, it lacks the spirit which
makes a country an attractive home.
Men meet on street cars and in ele-
vators of eastern cities for years, and
never have a speaking acquaintance.
They know nothing of each other, nor
do they care to know. They are
wholly absorbed in their own petty
schemes. They live in a narrow rut
for years and die ignorant of the
meaning of the great throbbing world
about them. The west is not only
Gods country, but 1t is the only
country for man.

know whom to follow, and very few
