THE HOUSE BY THE ROAD.

There are hermit souls that live with

In the peace of their self-content,
There are souls, like stars, that dwell
apart,
In a fellowless armament;
There are pioneer souls that blaze
their paths
Where highways never run:
But let me live by the side of the road
And be friend to man.
Let me live in a house by the side of
the road,
Where the race of men go by
The men who are good, and the men
who are bad,
As good and as bad as I.
I would not sit in the scorner's seat,
Or hurl the cynic's ban,
Let me live in a house by the side of
the road
And be a friend to man.
I see from my house by the side of
the road,
By the side of the highway of life,

The men who are faint with strife.
But l turn not away from their smiles
nor their tears
Both parts of an infinite plan

OF the road,
And be a friend to man.
know there are brook-gladdened
meadows ahead,
The mountains of wearisome height;
That the road passes on through the
long afternoon
And stretches away to the night.
But I rejoice when the travellers re-

And weep with the strangers that
moan,
Nor live in. .my house by the side of
the road
Like q man who dwel!s alone.
Let me live in my house by the side

| Where the race of men go by
They are good. they are bad, they are

Wise foolish--so am I,
Then why should I sit in the scorner's

Or hurl the cynic's ban?
Let me live in my house by the side

And be a friend to man.

WHAT Is PROGRESS?

So many of us complain that we
make no progress. We are impatient
because we are not "setting the world
on fire" We feel that our hands are
tied. We seem to be standing still.
We are angry with ourselves that we
do not do something of which the
world will take note.
The best progress, the really effec-
tive, forceful progress of the human
family is made in secret. 1t is con-
tanned in the personal Improvement,
the individual growth of the race.
To lift ourselves above prejudice is
to make progress. To learn to think
kindly of those whom we once hated,
is to make superb progress. To learn
to think kindly OF those who oppose
us, who believe differently and who
tring bitterness into their belief, is to
make excellent mental and spiritual
growth.
Progress is not all visible to the
naked eye. 1t consists Of mental
development, spiritual expansion, Of
which none but the closest friends
may know. But it is progress just
the same. It elevates, upllfts, broad
ems, enlightens and defles. 1t need
not be seen by the world for the world
would not understand much Of it. But
It counts.

SKETCH OF JOHN G. CARLISLE.

John Griffin Carlisle, some years
ago a democratic leader in congress.
was born in Campbell county, Ken
lucky, September 5, 1885. He was the
youngest son in a large family, re-
ceived a common school education,
studied law. taught for a time in Cow
ington, and was admitted to the bar
in 1858. He served several terms in
the Kentucky house of representa-
tives, and in the meantime acquired
an extensive and lucrative law prac-
tice. During the civil war he was op-
posed to secession. He was lieuten-
ant governor OF Kentucky from 1871
to 1875, and the following year was
presidential elector. The following
year he was sent to congress and was
six times reelected.
He soon became prominent as a
democratic leader, was appointed a
member of the committee of ways
and mans, and attracted attention by
an able speech on revenue reform. In
| 1888 he was elected speaker of the
house of representatives, to which Of
| flee he was reelected in 1855. In
| 1890 he was elected United States
! senator from kentucky, and three
years later resigned his seat to be-
| come secretary of the treasury in the
cabinet of President Cleveland. Since
1896 he has taken little part in pub
lie life and has devoted his time and
attention to building up large law

The use of slang phrases in news
papers and among young people is
one of the most reprehensible OF
habits. 1t has come to be common
custom among many to use slang
everywhere, without discrimination,
and with many 1t has become en-
grated into their language until they
use It unconsciously. 1t does not
show good breeding, education, wis
dom or Intelligence and slang belongs
where It was born, among the sa-
looms, sporting elements and "unde-
sirable" classes.

possible for them to fall. We have
seen the wife lift the husband from
the gutter and press him to her heart
while tears of love, sympathy and an
guish trickled down her careworn
cheeks in profusion. We have seen
the wife follow the husband through
life in one constant whirl of misery
and misfortune and when at last at
the gates of hell they We're separated,
would stand and wiring her hands in
mortal agony because the curtain had
fallen between them and she could
go no further. We have seen the
mother follow the son through the
paths of crime and vice, shame and
degradation where man was never
known to follow woman.
And who is to blame for the down
fall of woman? Who? Let the angels
of heaven be the jury and God AL
mighty the Judge!

PROPOSED CHANGES IN
METHODIST MANAGEMENT

Secretary John Evans of Dayton,
Wash, of the Columbia River NJ. E.
coference, has sent the following
propositions for changes in the con-
stitution of the Methodist Episcopal
church to be submitted to the dele
gates attending the ministerial and
lay conferences which meet in SpO-
kane, September and g.. 1907.
The following propositions relative
to changes in the constitution of the
Methodist Episcopal church are &C.
ing the rounds of the annual confer
ence, which will meet the first We'd
nesday in May, 1908, in Baltimore,
Md. If these propositions receive the
necessary two-thirds vote of the min
isterial, lay and general conferences.
they will become the law of the
church.
Proposition l. To change the meth
cd of selecting presiding elders from
Selection and appointment by the
bishops, to election by ballot without
debate. by the members of the annual
conferences This proposition carried
by a vote of 1SS for to 6 against in
the conference which originated it.
Proposition 2, To change the ratio
| of representation in the general con-
ference by changing part II, article
II, paragraph 2S of the Discipline so
that it shall read: Each annual
conference shall not allow more than
one ministerial delegate for every 20
members of an annual conference, nor
less than one for every rs, but for a
| fraction of two-thirds or more of the
number fixed at the ratio of rep
resentation an annual conference
shall be entitled to an additional dele
gate.
Proposition 8. A resolution touch
ing the arrangement of the Episcopal
plan sent out by the New Hampshire
conference.
Resolved. That we respectfully
petition the general conference to re-
quest the board of bishops that they
arrange the plan of Episcopal super
vision and visitation so that the in
dividual be made so far as possible to
a group of continuous conferences
during a period of not less than four
! consecutive years"

VICTORY FOR MERCHANTS.

What is considered a decisive bus
iness victory for local merchants
throughout the United States, is con-
tanned In a recent report Of the busi-
ness condition of the Sears G. Roebuck
mail order house of Chicago.
This big mail order house has been
the foe Of the local merchant. The
big concern did not advertise, it paid
no taxes in the community from which
it drew thousands of dollars in profits,
it did not help promote the interests
Of the country, but simply drained
the country Of its wealth, through its
enormous sales by means Of its cata-
logues.
Where merchants were live, active,
up to date and where they kept large
and diversified stocks as in Pendleton,
the mail order house did no harm to
local business. In such towns the
purchaser has had every advantage In
local stores and the mail order csta-

IF THE HoNIEsEEKER KNEW.

If the hundreds of anxious home
seekers who are passing through Pen
dleton, daily on their way to Port
land only knew of the glorious, in
viting freedom and opportunity which
beckons to them from the hillsides and
valleys of every eastern oregon coun-
ty which they are passing through,
they would gladly stop and settle.
They may not find farms already
equipped and crops planted ready for
them to reap. They may not find
smooth pathways blazed to fortunes
which they are to grasp without eff
fort. They may not find high priced
lands begging them to buy for song.
Those who have fortunes in eastern
oregon have wrought them out of the
rough; they have hammered them
out of the crude materials which
they found. I'll.
These homeseekers will find the
crude materials of many a fortune
here awaiting the coming of the right
man. They will find rich opportuni
ties beckoning to them everywhere If
they will but take up the hammer and
tongs and go to work.
If they only knew, they would go no
further. They would not again cast
longing eyes toward their crowded,
stuffy congested eastern states.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-09-05

logue did not appeal to him, but in
many communities this catalogue has
been the bane of mercantile business.
However a recent report of the
Sears & Robuck concern shows a
frightful decline in business. The
last catalogue contains 500 less pages
than the preceding and many lines
have been entirely abandoned.
The price of stock in the reorgan-
lied Sears & Roebuck company has
declined from 97h for preferred to IS,
and from so for common stock to So.
showing an actual cash loss of about
IS, 900, 900.
This startling decline in the busi-
ness of the mail order house is at
trbuted to more modern methods
among local merchants, more activity
in local business circles, an awakened
public conscience which prompts peo-
Pile to patronize home concerns and
to the fact that larger and more di-
versified stocks are carried everywhere
in the country towns.
The decline of the mail order busi-
ness is a decisive and proud victory
for live merchants who advertise, pay
taxes, improve towns, promote COM
munity interests and stand as sub
stantial citizens among their fellows
everywhere.
Aside from the reduced size of the
catalogue, the prices show decided
advance in every line. In many lines
the advance amounts to from so to 75
per cent and the shrinkage of business
for the big house in the past three
months has averaged about $4,000
per month.
The mail order business in the past
has served to fatten the extortionate
express companies, and has been the
means of taking money out of every
community, which should have beer
spent at home, with merchants who
help build county roads, who helI
establish and conduct county fairs
who improve streets, maintain school:
and perform every imaginable goot
service for the community. The de-
cline of the mail order business is 6
tribute to the intelligence of the pur
chaser and to the enlightened meth
DDS of local merchants everywhere.

REMOVE THE LUMBER TARIFF.

The East Oregonian takes pardon
able pride in the fact that Clifford
Pinchot, chief forester of the United
States and the personal representa-
tive of President Roosevelt at the Sac
ramento irrigation congress, has
openly advocated the removal of the
! tariff on lumber, as a means of pro-
tecting American forests, a policy
which this paper has warmly advo-
Gated in the past.
Billions of feet of lumber are stand
ing in the Canadian forests awaiting
market in the United States, when
the tariff is removed. Because of this
tariff, lumber prices in the United
States have advanced to unreasonable
attitudes and building has been en-
,ireiy stopped in many places.
If this tariff were removed, as ad-
vocated by Mr.. Pinchot, the country
would be flooded by Canadian lum-
Der, prices would come down to a
reasonable and just level, building
would be resumed and the extreme
pressure of the market demand would
be removed from American forests
which the administration is striving
to preserve for the future.
The removal of the lumber tariff
will solve the question.
Pinchot is right. His policy, though
! long delayed, is the sure cure.

THE SUNRISE NEVER FAILS.

Upon the sadness of the sea
The sunset broods regretfully-
From the far, lonely spaces, slow
Withdraws the wistful afterglow.
So out of life the splendor dies
So darken all the happy skies
SO gathers twilight, cold and stern
But overhead the planets burn.
And up the east another day
Shall chase the bitter dark away
What though our eyes with tears be
wet?
The sunrise never failed us yet.
The blush OF dawn may yet restore
Our light and hope and JOY once more
Sad soul take comfort, nor forget
That sunrise never failed us yet!

A Portland woman asks the Ore
gonian IL she shall quote the high
prices OF living in Portland to her
friends in the east who are talking OF
settling in oregon. From all accounts
the mild prices in Portland cannot
scare a housewife from Illinois, Iowa,
Missouri, Nebraska. Kansas or Okla
homa. In those states prices have
taken an upward plunge which sur
passes any record in oregon.

SHAMELESS, SHAMEFUL FACT.

It is unfortunate that the author
ship OF the following is in doubt. Read
II carefully and see II you feel asham-

Did you ever hear of man trying
to lift up an unfortunate woman
when she falls from the high pedestal
Of honor and grace? Not a lift.
There's too much Adamic blood in
our snake polluted veins. When
once a woman falls from her high
and honored position she lands in a
hell and no human will stoop to lift
her on Husband and brother, father
and son are deaf to her cries from
that hour. But on the other hand

VICTORY FOR WOMEN.

In New Zealand, the house of rep
resentatives has just voted 81 to 2t
in favor of making women eligible as
members of the upper house. In
Australia, women are already eligible
to all offices. from prime minister
down; but when New Zealand II
years ago gave women full suffrage
it expressly debarred them from par.
Lament. This restriction 1t seems Is
now to be removed.
