NO MORE CONVENTIONS.

1t is not likely that either the demo-
cratic or republican party will hold
county or state conventions in Ore
gon preceding the 1908 campaign.
The thinly veiled method of holding
a mass meeting of voters (politicians)
for the purpose of Suggesting" (fix-
ing up a slate) candidates for election
at the primaries, is out of date. The
primary nominating law does not rec
ognize this subterfuge as legitimate.
The primary law makes each candi-
date responsible directly to the people
and that is the only practical way.
The people are not going to nomi-
nate an unfit man. In every county
where practically every man is known
personally to almost every other man,
there is little danger of the wrong man
or of a dangerous or unfit man being
nominated. The people know, as we'll
as conventions, who is who.
So instead of subscribing to a lot OF
junk contained in a political platform
the people should and will insist on
each candidate having personal ca
pacity personal responsibility, person
al honesty.
No party platform ever made can
didate do right If it was naturally ir
him to do wrong No party platform
ever made a candidate more capable
And no party platform ever elevated
a Ounce to the place of a sensible
man.
After all, the entire responsibility il
upon the individual candidate and th'
people should see that each candidat'
declares himself on vital public ques
tions, and then sticks to his declara
tions.
The people do not want and will no
re-elect a man who runs away whel
needed. or who goes over to the enc
my, or who fails to live up to his ante
election pledges.
Just let the people attend to it. TIL
East Oregonian is willing 10 trus
them.

RAPIDLY GROWING TREES.

The gum tree seems to be the most
rapid Of growers. There is one in
Florida which shot up 40 feet in four
years and another is reported from
Guatemala which grew 120 feet in IL
years. The highest tree in the world
Is an Australian gum Of the species
of eucalyptus regnans, which stands
in the Lake Otway range. 1t is 415
feet high, which beats the sequoia
gigantia, or big trees of our Califor-
MIA coast. Those who desire quick
growing trees for city streets, parks
and yards would do we'll to get sup
ply Of these gums. They are probably
not hardy enough for our northern
latitude, but would doubtless do we'll
in many parts of the south.

WHEN THE SONG GOES OUT.

When the songs gone out of your life,
That you thought would last to the
end;
That first sweet song of the heart;
That no after days can lend
The song of the birds to the trees,
ers,
The song that the heart sings low to
itself
When it wakes in life's morning
hours:
"You can start no other song"
Not even tremulous note
VIII falter forth on the empty air,
1t dies in your aching throat.
1t is all invain that you try,
For the spirit of song has fled
The nightingale sings no more to the
When the beautiful flower is dead
So let silence softly fall
On the bruised hearts quiverine
strings,
Perhaps from the loss of all you ma,
learn
The song that the seraph sings;
A grand and glorious psalm,
That will tremble, and rise, and
thrill
And fill your breast with its grateful
rest,
And its lonely warnings still.
Selected.

DANGEROUS DOORS.

Some smells are dangerous. A
single sniff of highly concentrated
prussic acid will kill a man as quick
ly as a shot through the heart The
odor of bad egg is due to the pres
ence of sulphureted hydrogen, and
the Objectionable fumes of sewers
and bone factories are attributable
chiefly to the same gas.
Chemical laboratories are famous
for bad smells. Berzelius, who dis
covered the element called "selen-
ium," once tried the experiment of
permitting q bubble of pure hydro
gen selenide gas to enter his nostril
For days afterward he was not able
to smell strong ammonia, the olfac-
tory nerves being temporarily para
lyzed. Selenium gas has the odo of
putrid horseradish. Tellurium is even
worse. There is a story of a physi-
clan whose patient, a lady, refused to
take an absolutely necessary rest be-
cause she was so fond of being always
in society. He gave her a pill con-
tatning a small quintity of tellurium,
and her breath was affected by 1t to
such an extent that she was not able
to appear in public for month. She
never guessed the trouble.
The volatilized essential oil of roses
is supposed to cause "rose cold" This
peculiar complaint is so far nervous
in its character that paper roses
somtimes excite 1t.

FATAL DEFECT SOMEWHERE.

The cause of the fall of the great
incompleted bridge across the st.
Lawrence river may never be known
with certainty, for the three-quarter
mile section which collapsed lies
many feet deep atsthe bottom of that
waterway and may never be recov-
cred for examination or further use.
But somewhere in the structure, says
the Sacramento Bee, there must have
been either defective materials, bad
workmanship or engineering miscal-
culation.
A terrible responsibility rests upon
somebody for the awful loss of life.
The lesson to bridge-builders Is likely
to be never forgotten, for, aside from
the frightful mortality, the property
loss is enormous. The work of con-
struction had been in progress seven
years and the bridge was approaching
| completion.

ONE GENERATION.

Forty years in Umatilla county, one
generation of pioneers at the crossing
of the Great Divide.
It seems scarcely believable that
the old settlers have been here for a
generation, but on the streets of PEN
dleton every day is seen some couple,
some man and wife who came here 35
or 40 years ago. They have seen the
county grow from wilderness to a
populous and beautiful domain. Th4
have reared their families here and
now see their grandchildren coming
into manhood and womanhood.
Over half of their lives has been
spent in this frontier. They have help
ed to make the county and state. They
have become parts of the country
which they have civilized.
The East Oregonian believes that
there is no more noble or beautiful
spectacle than is presented in these
splendid old people who came here
80 and 40 years ago. 1t was will
derness then. No one who has not
been through the ordeal can fully
understand It. The present genera
ton should be grateful for the smooth
paths it finds. These old people have
hewn away the obstacles and 1t is all
pleasant now.
