AGAINST FRaTERNITIES.

The National Educational associa-
ton in closing its session at Los An
geles, passed a resolution strongly op-
posing the fraternities, sororities and
other secret societies in public
schools.
This is a most opportune resolution
and will meet with hearty approval
among the masses of the people. The
public schools are maintained at pub
lie expense. The taxpayers of coun-
ties and cities go down in their pock-
cts regularly to support these schools
and every child has a right to the
best treatment, the most unquestion-
ed freedom and the best possible in
struction and secret societies in which
little cliques are organized to dis
rupt and hinder school work should
not be allowed.
In colleges where students pay their
| own way they have a right to any
luxury OF lIlS hllu lley may ucSllc'
and may build up class caste and class
hatred, but in the great public schools
of the country no such demoralizing
tendencies should find place.
Every school board in Oregon
should see that the fraternities are
abolished and that nothing stands in
the way of the fullest efficiency of
our excellent schools:
The fraternities can do no good in
school work. They are simply dis
tracing elements. They build up
favoritism. They encourage class dis
tinctions. They destroy that free and
fair spirit which should make every
humble student feel at home in the
public school, and worst of all, they
give few leading spirits among class
fraternities a dictatorial power in the
management of schools and in the dis
tribution of school honors.
The fraternities must go from the
public schools. They can thrive where
students pay their own expenses, but
not where the public foots the bill.

THE TINE TO FIGHT.

Secretary of the Interior James r.
Garfield in brief political address at
Seattle said something which concerns
every thinking citizen.
In referring to the stay-at-home
voter who has perhaps become dis
gusted at party management, he said
that the time for the right thinking
citizen to fight hardest is when party
management and party politics are
corrupt. Don't get disgusted and stay
away. Your services are needed then
to purify and rescue the besmirched
ideals.
The stay-at-home vote is usually a
clean vote, and the reason so many
unfit men are in office is because de-
cent people stay at home when they
should be in the thickest of the fight,
striving to keep government clean.
The fate OF every state and national
government is in the keeping OF the
faithful, honest citizen who cannot be
corrupted and who will prevent cor
ruptlon in others. So don't be dis
gusted. Stay in the fight.

CHRONIC MOURNERS.

A righteous campaign inaugurated
foc the purpose of riding their re-
spective communities of a most unde-
slra BILE class of thoughtless and over
sympathetic people, commonly known
as "the chronic mourner," is the
latest idea advanced by the under
takers of the west and one which will
undoubtedly receive due attention at
the next annual convention of the
state Undertakers' association to be
held at Tacoma in the near future.
"Chronic mourners," said a local
undertaken recently. "are a grave
hindrance to funeral director. and
in fact they are becoming a menace
to the public at large. Even in Wal
la Walla | note that the germ of In
uuisitiveness is spreading with
startling rapidity, with the net result
that from six to a dozen chronics sell
dom, if ever, fail to be present at a
funeral. They are of the class known
10 us as 'incurables.'
81 do not believe, however, that the
majority of people who attend fu-
neral services fully comprehend the
Inconvenience they cause to the inn
mediate friends and relatives of the
deceased. Often I find persons at
tending who really believe that, by
doing so. they render a great service
ard would undoubtedly be grievet
and shocked were they to be inform
cd of the true situation. ."-Walls

as political bodies 1t is one of the
moral questions which enter into
standards of citizenship of states and
ii is not for Adams or Helix to say
what they intend to do upon the sub
ject. 1t is for the people of oregon,
as a state, to say what shall be done,
and the state-paid officers should see
that the will of the whole people is
enforced, regardless of local likes or
dislikes.
Suppose Pilot Rock, for illustration
was populated by class of people
absolutely opposed to all form of
Sunday observance and in favor of a
wide open" town. If there were no
state law they could keep a wide
open" town and disorder and inde-
cency would be rampant The lawless
would be law unto themselves. The
state standard would be disregarded
and Pilot Rock, although in the decent
and orderly state of oregon, would be
a disgrace TO the worst country in the
world.
But to prevent just such emergen-
cies and to preserve a good state
standard of morals and decency, re-
gardless of the likes of few lawless
men who may congregate together,
state laws have been made and should
be enforced uniformly, but firmly
throughout the state everywhere
alike.
Although Portland has 200 police
men and elaborate police court ma
chinery, District Attorney John Man.
ming by a single word, closed up the
saloons of Portland on Sunday. 1t is
no fearful thing to do. There is a
plain state law giving him authority
and the splendid citizenship of Ore
gon is back of that state law, so what
better support need a man ask? In
fact, what right has a state official
to ask any question about it?
The law is there and it says plainly
who shall enforce it.
And the decent people of oregon
should see that no official who fear
lessly enforces the law is punished by
the lawless for doing his duty. That
element should be eliminated from
the question entirely.

STRUCK BLIND ON TIGHT ROPE.

Crossing 600-foot chasm on a
three eighths-inch wire 5S2 feet above
the gruunt, at Boulder, Col, Ivy
Baldwin suddenly became temrorar-
lily blind from the strain on his nerves,
to;tered and almost fell. While the
hundreds of spectators expected to
see him fall to instant death, he re-
covered himself and, guided by the
encouraging cries of his assistants at
the end of the wire, he finished the
perilous journey in safety.
Baldwin's walk was the highest
ever made on tight rope. He walked
across the entrance to South Boulder
canon at Elodrado Springs. 1t took
him Just six minutes and half to
accomplish the Journey. He had no
net or apparatus under him to avert
fall, which would have meant death
before. he touched the ground.
Twice while crossing Baldwin
stopped. Sudden puffs of wind sway
ed the rope and he was compelled to
halt TO regain his balance. Several
assistants stood at the end of the
vile and encouraged him by their
cries.
Baldwin used ordinary cloth shoes
with rosin soles. The wire was held
taut oy 80 guy ropes, and he bal
anced himself with a % foot pole
Weighing 10 pounds, on each end of
which was one-pound brass mob.
One thousand five hundred people
witnessed the feat, all of which ex-
cept the last part appeared to be
executed with remarkable ease.
After descending from the cliff at
The end of the rope Baldwin lighted
a cigarette, afterward plunging into
the pool without the slightest appear
ance of nervousness. This is not his
only remarkable performance. as in
1885 he walked nearly 500 feet at a
6O-foot height from the Cliff House
to the Seal rocks at San Frapcisco.

SUNDAY CLOSING LAWS.

The East Oregonian has always
been at a loss to know why towns
and cities pass Sunday closing ordi-
hances in oregon, when there is a
good state law on that subject These
ordinances are always identical with
the state law and if they were not,
would not be effective. So why is it
necessary to multiply the same law
and shift the burden of enforcing it
from the state to the already heavily
burdened cities?
Towns and cities have their local
burdens to bear and their individual
expenses to meet. They must keep
up their streets, water works, sewers,
levees, fire protection and other mu-
nicipal departments. They are heavi-
ly taxed for schools, churches and
other institutions and why should the
expense of enforcing the gambling
and Sunday closing laws be added to
the burden when the state of Oregon
has already provided well for their
enforcement uniformly throughout
the state by district attorneys, at state
expense?

THE TREASURE TRAIL.

The bright torch of the sinking sun
Lights gold-path across the sea.
Could but track It 10 its end
What treasures would not flash
for me?
To low keys where old picaroons,
Their plunder-chests sunk in the
sand,
The flaring lamp might guide my
sails
And light me as ! delved the
strand.
Tho wide adventures of my dreams
Might come to pass, could but be
The skipper of a bark-and know
No masters save the sun and sea-
Yet from the sunset trail l turn
Its lure would lead me blind and
old;
And, by the light in my loves eyes,
I seek what treasure a heart may
hold!
From July Bohenian.

RICH MEN WITHOUT MONEY

There are some characters who
carry their wealth with them, who
are rich without money. They do
not need palatial homesor a large
bark account. They do not need to
buy admission to society-everybod
loves them. They are welcome every
where because they have that which
money can not buy-a genial, help
full, sunny cheerful disposition.
OF course, everybody wants them,
because it is joy to be with them.
Everybody loves the sunshine and
hates the shadows and the gloom.
There Is no bank account that can
balance a sweet, gracious personal
itv: no material wealth can match
a sunny heart, an ability to radiate
helL fulness and sweetness.
Put such graces and charms never
live with selfishness or self-seeking.
1t Is the people who have something
to give, not who are trying to get
something, that are wanted every
where.-O. S. Marden.

MOTHER LOVE.

Take the glory of the conquest and
the grandeur of the morn,
Tho spiendor of the triumphs out of
toll and patience born,
The beauty of the cities and the ar
mics of the just
Moving down the golden valleys to
the victories of the dust
But the mother love that wraps
around a wayward child its wings
Is sweetcr than all triumph and is
stronger than dll kings,
The mother love is patience bearing
all the years of care,
With faith to take the burden up
ana strength to lift and bear;
The mother love is warder of the rosy
gates of life,
With kiss goodby to little ones who
go to face the strife,
And arms of old endurance waiting
there to clasp and greet
The loved who wander back again,
the lost with weary feet
The mother love is gentleness that
mellows through the years,
With lips to kiss the brow that
aches and song to stay the tears;
The mother love is tireless in the
vigil that it keeps
To guard the couch from danger
where the bloom of lovehood
sleeps
oh, wayward, weak and weary, and
We who walk in sin,
Be sure the heart of mother love will
cpe and let you in.

What is the use of having district
judges and district attorneys if not
TO enforce the state laws, and what is
the use of excusing district officers
from their duties and adding their
duties and the expense of their offices
20 the heavy burdens of the city
government?
What are district officers and state
laws for if not for uniformity through
torneys $4,000 per year to enforce the
laws and then shift a large part OF
their duties to the city attorney and
pile up expenses on city governments? :?
1t seems folly to repeat state law
in a city ordinance. If the state Of
ficers do not enforce the state law
why not the city councils call upon
them to do so instead Of passing a
superfluous city ordinance, an exact
copy of the state law, and making
taxpayers of cities bear burdens dis
tributed by state law upon the people
of the judicial districts?
It is not a square deal nor a fair
shake. Laws are made to be en-
forced. State laws are made to Sc
cure uniformity of good conduct
throughout the state and because
Athena, Adams or Pendleton do not
see fit to pass a city ordinance in
keeping with a state law, does not ex-
cuse state officers for not enforcing
a law. Let us quit lodging and get
down to business.

any other department. The janitor
looks after 1t, the police see that 1t is
kept orderly and the public goes there
to lounge and rest and enjoy itself.
This is capital idea for Pendleton'
just as she is starting to build city
hall. There will be plenty of room
for such department in the new
building and 1t should be considered.

Pendleton has nothing to say, tech
nically, upon the Sunday closing
question. There is a wide, plain state
law upon the subject and all the city
ordinances that might be passed in
a year would not change or add to
the state law. The state law was
passed for the purpose Of securing
order AID improving public morals in
every town and city in the state alike
and no town has right to legislate
on the subject, from a logical stand
point The question is out of their
hands.
Adams, Heppner, Echo, Freewater,
Pendleton-every town and city in
this judicial district should have law
enforcement from state officers, for
the state law applies directly to them
and there is no need for city ordi-
nances TO supplement a good state
law.
II the state did not consider Sum
day closing and gambling subjects for
state control there would be no state
law upon the subjects and then cities
might pass regulating ordinances. But
cities have enough to attend to with
out taking up the work Of paid state
officers.

Correct Mourning,

Fashions in mourning have under
gone very great change since the
wonderful improvements that have
been in crepe, In the first place, it
has been successfully waterproofed
and is no longer extravagant wear.
Then the soft finish crepe is partic-
ularly we'll adapted to the picturesque
and artistic gowns of the present day.
Instead of the gowns being trimmed
with folds and volants of crepe this
season entire empire and empress
gowns will be worn of this soft and
graceful crepe. Simplicity will be the
keynote of all mourning garb. For
millinery long, soft-flnish crepe wells
will be used to drape the large and
small shapes, and will fall in two long
ends below the waist. Paris and
Vienna have taken up this crepe and
it is being used extensively for all
articles of mourning.

CHANGING the Plano.

In the very commendable effort to
change things around bit and give
the house new look at house clean
ing time, it is just as we'll to be lit
tie careful in the matter of placing the
piano. A refreshingly new and changed
appearance may be given to a room
by having the piano in another cor
ner for change, but If that corner is
near a window or close to a register
the scheme had better be abandoned
A piano is extremely sensitive to cold
heat or dampness. 1t is a great mis-
take to put it too near to the fire or
radiator, because the heat Is apt to
affect the delicately constructed sound
ing board and interfere with the tone
of the piano. A piano which stands
by an open window on rainy day is
almost sure to be damaged. The
dampness rusts the wires and other
wise affects the interior.
When disposing of the bric-a-brac
room do not save large share of it
for the top of the piano, rather let the
instrument be unincumbered by books
and ornaments so that the purity Of
the tone will not be interfered with.

to think it over, as he did not wish

If you will listen I'll tell you exactly

Fostering me for an answer for weeks,

life of me make up my mind what to

at me earnestly.
THAT is just It; he Is so nice that

cidly, that's just where the fix comes

against my will, land you call that

There is nothing for it but to face
