BRYAN'S CREED.

The sentiment from Bryan which
endeared him to the nation was not
his "cross of gold" eloauence, nor his
flights of oratory in congress.
1t was a simple expression of his
religious faith in campaign address
made in 1896, in which he declared
that in all his public and private life
and acts, he kept one sentiment fore
most in his mind and lived by its
guidance. The sentiment referred to
was expressed in a verse by William
Cullen Bryant, in his lines, ITO a
Waterfowl and is as follows:
"He who from zone to zone
Guides thy uncertain flight,
In the long way which 1 must tread
alone
Will lead my steps Alright"
Like Mckinley, he has clear-cut
faith In providence and whatever else
may betide, keeps this foremost in his
mind. Such a man the people may
safely trust, whatever his peculiar be-
liefs upon the tariff, the money ques-
ton or the railroads.

OREGON GETS SECOND BEST.

The facts are that Oregon does not
get the best train service on the Har-
riman system.
Trains Nos. and 10, the California
Chicago trains which pass the Port
land Chicago trains at Green river,
are far superior in appointment to
Nos. / and 2. The California trains
make better time, are given greater
attention and are in every way pref
erable to the Oregon service.
1t is not a good advertisement for
Oregon to have Oregon-bound passen-
gers and homeseekers passed at Green
river by the swift California train.
The public naturally says: "Oregon is
second-class destination. judging
from the equipment and service. See,
the California train leaves US be-
hind"
When this becomes generally known
to homeseekers in the east many OF
them will take passage over the Other
lines which give equally good service
to all central points, alike. Oregon
is as important as California. In fact
to Oregonians, she is superlative.

GOVERNORS AND WOMEN.

The public prints are fairly bulg-
ing these days with the annual mes
sages of governors of various states;
the frequently with which women are
mentioned therein constrains one to
think that at last the state Is coming
tu regard woman as of some import
ance. not so much, of course. as rail-
roads and canals and insurance COM
panies, but still as counting for some
thing.
The governor of Connecticut recon-
mends the appointment of woman
factory inspector, lust one, to be sure,
but that's something; lots of them
recommend more stringent laws for
the protection of child and women
workers, and in this connection Gov
ernor Folk, enthusiastically, prom
ises strict enforcement in Missouri.
but Kansas, always progressive, leads
the procession, for Governor Hoch
declared that municipal suffrage,
which has been enjoyed by the women
of Kansas since 1887, has proved a
success and that the right should be
extended"
He closes his paragraph on this
subject by saying, "The word male
has no place in a modern state con-
stitution and should be stricken from
ours"

THE TELL-TAIlE TRACKS.

Although the bill introduced by
Representative Dye of Clackamas
county, for the regulation of the
liquor traffic and to raise state and
county licenses. wears the meek garb
of the sheep, yet when one scrutinizes
its features closely, the claws of the
wolf are seen on it's feet.
Its tracks betray it.
The bill is covert attempt to over
throw the local option law in the
cities of Oregon. 1t purports to be
a modest effort to raise more taxes
from the liquor traffic, but in fact it
is a secret blow at the law on the
statute books of Oregon, regulating
the sale of liquor.
If the brewers and liquor dealers
know a good thing when they see it.
they will let oregon's liquor law alone.
The people have enacted a law suit
able to them. 1t is just and whole.

way it should be regulated and every
attempt to overthrow this law only
multiplies prohibition sentiment in the
state.

IN THE HARNESS WITH BOURNE.

The East Oregonian opposed the
election of Jonathan Bourne as United
States senator for reasons which it
thought sufficient in the campaign.
The record which Mr.. Bourne made
in Oregon 10 or ~ years ago was ex-
tremely unsavory, from a standpoint
of political morals.
In judging men ordinarily, past
records must be considered, notwith-
standing the fact that every thought
full man is capable of progress and
improvement.
Jonathan Bourne is now United
States senator, the first choice of the
sovereign people of Oregon, elected
by popular suffrage and ratified by
the legislative assembly, and as such
public official the East Oregonian will
work in the harness with him, cheer
fully, willingly, tirelessly for the good
of Oregon.
He won the place by his own ef-
forts. There was no scheme, no CO.
ercion, no trading. The people OF
Oregon selected him and he deserve:
the heartiest cooperation of every
patriotic Oregonian.
The East Oregonian will help MAKE
his term a success.

THEORIES AND FACTS.

We hear 1t said that one man pro-
ceeJs from theory and another from
facts. This difference is usually
pointed out by the man who prldes
himself on being practical" 1t is
we'll to be practical, but there is such
a thins as being ''too practical" as
the term goes.
A man is 'too practical when he
measures the value of every action by
immediate results, and does not allow
time for natural development, does
not take into consideration the results
which, though vital, cannot be meas
ured in dollars and cents-such as
prestige. good will, and future inten-
ton.
On the other hand, a man is too
theoretical when he disregards fun
damental facts, and either ignorantly
or carelessly goes ahead contrary to
what sound experience has proved to
be true.
This then: Have theories, for they
are the life of your plans and actions;
and don't forsake your theory just
because you meet with few minor
facts that are unfavorable-these are
but obstacles. But be sure you have
place in your theory for all facts
that are fundamental.--Wal P.
Warren.

LOVE CANNOT DIE.

They sin who tell us love can die,
With life all other passions fly
All others are but vanity.
In heaven ambition can not dwell,
Nor avarice in the vaults of hell;
Earthly, these passions of the earth,
They perish where they had their
birth:
But love is indestructible.
Its holy flame forever burneth,
From heaven 1t came, to heaven re-
turneth.
Too oft in earth a troubled guest,
a. times deceived, at times oppressed.
Ii here is tried and purified
Then hath in heaven its perfect rest.
1t soweth here with toll and care,
But the harvest time of love is there.

LINGERING MOSSBACKISSI.

Two evidences of lingering moss
backism in Oregon were brought out
yesterday in the legislature.
Ore was a bill by Jackson of Doug
las county, to authorize the sale OF
estates, regardless of the widows
dover right and the other was the
vote of the Salem members of the leg
islature, four of whom refused to vote
for the peoples choice for United
States senator.
The bill to disinherit the widow
after her husbands death is one OF
the narrowest attempts to deprive wo-
men of their just property rights that
has been brought to light in Oregon,
and the legislature showed the right
kind of manhood in showing 1t
under" overwhelmingly.
Such a law is in keeping with the
Indian custom which compels the
woman to carry all the drift wood
and dig all the clans while the Fat
old "puck" Indian snoozes in the te-
pee.
The refusal of the Marion county
delegation to vote for the peoples
choice for senator will be preserved

Hens Pay if They Lay.

What is more aggrevating than the re-

high?
The poultryman oftentimes sputters
and scolds and proposes to live on poul-
try until every hen is eaten forgetting
that the biddy always does her duty
when she is supplied with the necessary
ingredients for producing eggs. She
likes to lay and then talk about it after
she has done the job, but she does not
like to work when she is cold, chilly and
poorly supplied with warm, stimulating
food. If she could speak good English,
she would tell you that she would like
a few rations each week of green cut

exaggerated.
Uric-O acts directly upon the blood muscles
and kidneys. 1t neutralizes the uric and
rheumatic acid poison, and drives it from the
