But though am struck with many
wonderful characteristics OF the little
birds of the woods, after all, their alb
spnces at certain seasons Of the year
impress me lust as much as the bless
ings with which they are surrounded
In the spring and the summer and the
autumn. November slips into Decen-
Der. The beautiful tapestries of the
woods have faded away and been de-
stroyed. Now. instead Of the leaves OF
the trees rustling with gladness, each
tree trunk covered with white snow
looks like a column Of spotlcss marble.
Where are the birds? Where are the
little birds that used to make the vel
kin ring with their never ending
choruses? "Oh," you answer, they
have gone" They have migrated. No
sooner did the billiards. OF the arctic
begin to howl than God seemed to call;
"Cone. little birds--come. | want you
TO come with me to the land of flowers.
1t is too cold for your little wings and
your tender throats. Come with me to
the sunny south" And away they
ay. Yes, they fly ont of arctic colds.
They fly away from the white shrouds
of frost They fly TO where the sun Is
never clouded: where the springs and
brooks are never turned into ice. They
fy to where they will not shlvcr and
where they Will not die. Thus God has
called to some of our little birds called
children and some of our big birds call
cd men and women. Tie called and
said: "Come, father; come. mother;
come, wife; come. husband; come,
child. Come into the land of flowers

"Human Hearts.

Till we have reflected on it, we are
scarcely aware how much the sum of
human happiness is indeb.eded to the
stage. We acquire cheerfulness and
fellow men in the theater. and from
the looks of happy expectancy radiat-
ing from our neighbours countenances,
inspired by the anticipation of pros
pective enjoyment of good, clean,
wholesome drama. well acted and
properly presented.
Such, at least is the idea brought
forcibly to mind in gazing over an au-
di5nce assembled to witness w. E.
Nankevile's great production, human
hearts," aptly described as the forever
evergreen success" Human hearts
is play that invariably appeals to all
hat is best in mans nature. and up
lifts him from the sordid cares and
petty worries of daily toll and trouble.
The story of human hearts is clean,
wholesome and ineligible to every
one. There is no suggestion of vul-
garity in any of it's acts, but a story
of convincing strength is told by the
author, in manner that appeals ir-
fesistably to all classes of theater
goers.
The enormous success of Human
hearts during the past 10 years, is a
direct REPUTATION of the idea enter
tanned by so many theatrical managers,
that sensationalism and criminal ad-
juncts are necessary to a play to as
sure its success with the public. Such
plays die out as soon as the public in
terest Wanes. Not so with a drama
possessing the merit of Human
hearts" The lease of life accorded such
a play is not dependent on a momen-
tary interest, excited by some crime.
but on the firm solid basis of humani-
ty and human feelings. 1t touches our
heart strings, rouses our latent better
instincts, and makes us feel kinder
towards our fellow man. for having
witnessed it.
Human hearts" will be presented
this season with an especially strong
company of players, and the same
fidelity to scenic and mechanical de-
tail that made its former visits notable.
The engagement is for Wednesday, Oct.
23rd at the Keylor Grand theater.

A HINT TO PENDLETON.

A travelling man who >makes" all
the towns in the northwest on his
routes said to the East Oregonlan
Yesterday, in all seriousness, (Which
is something worthy of note in a
travelling MANI that although Pendle-
ton transacts more business and buys
more goods every day in the year and
every year, regularly, than Walla
Walla. yet Walla Walla is doing more
to make a home and school town than
Pendleton.
This is evidenced from the inside
and may be taken seriously as be-
tween the two towns the speaker had
no choice. He simply expressed what
he had honestly and candidly observ-
ed.
This should be a hint to Pendleton
as her future needs. She has the
business and will hold it, because of
her peculiar position at the gateway
Of the interior. Now she must turn
her attention to making a home town.
How?
By making her schools better, by
Creating public parks, by continuing
to make better streets Anything to
make it pleasant for the people to live
here Anything which will invite a
family to the city.-East Oregonian.
What the travelling man said about
Walla Walla's homes and schools is
of course perfectly true. Every body
knows that what he is quoted as say
ing about business was said to create
an impression and help him sell those
people of pendleton a bill of goods.
They so seldom buy anything over
there that he had to resort to some
method to awaken them and probably
sent an order into his house as the re-
suit Of his hot air talk about business.
Just the same We will bet that his
order from Walla Walla would dis
count the Pendle ton order and that he
would rather make this town any day
than PendletOn. He had to make the
Pendleton bunch feel good some way
but he could not help saying some
thing good for Walla Walla.

What Is a Watt?

In the electrical world one hears
and reads great deal. about watts"
The current is measured by watts;
the machinery is rated by watts;
lamps burn by watts. To the ordinary
layman all this talk of watts" is as
mystifying as the death of the late
Akhood of Swat.
The man to whom we owe the idea
of the horsepower was a Scottish in
ventor, James Watt, and when the
electric unit involving the idea of
working capacity came to be formu-
lated the name of Watt was chosen to
indicate this unit just as that of Volta
has given us the term volt and Fara-
day the farad.
Watt considered that taking the
average a London dray horse was ca
pable of doing the work of lifting 49,
900 pounds through one foot of dis
lance in one minute of time. against
gravity The Introduction of this time
limit the minute, gave the unit of
power or the rate of performing work.
This or it's equivalent has ever since
been called a horsepower.
The electrical unit called the watt is
capable of being represented in terms
of the horsepower, and N that form it
is perhaps more Ineligible to those
who are familiar with mechanical
rather than with electrical expressions.
The electrical watt is the product of
volts multiplied by amperes, where
the volt is the unit of electrical pres
sure and the 'ampere is the unit meas
uring the density or volume of an
electrical current.
Careful experiments have de-
monstrated that 746 watts per second,
are equal to $50 foot pounds per Sec
ond. or to state the equation in its
usual form, 746 watts equal one horse
power is generally sold is computed on
the basis of kilowatt hours. The prefix
kilo comes from the Greek Chilioi, one
thousand. A kilowatt, written also k.
W., is therefore 1000 watts. The kilo-
watt hour is the performance of work
at such rate that 1000 watts per Sec
ond shall be delivered continuously for
one hour.
The kilowatt hour has a special in
terest for the man who has his office
or house lighted by electric lamps, be-
cause the kilowatt hour is the unit
upon which the power and light COM
panies base their charges.

Isn't it rather amusing the way the
politicians are attempting to shoulder
he responsibility of that attack on the
direct primary law onto some one else?
The fact of the business is the direct
primary is a popular measure, and.
while many of the politicians do not
favor it, they have not the courage to
frankly say SO. They would like to
have it declared unconstitutional but it
is dollars to doughnuts they will never
give expression to their wishes. Re-
CARELESS of the merits or dement's of
the direct primary the people appar-
entity want it and they are going to

appear that the best policy would be to
let it have fair trial and if it is MOI
satisfactory the ordinary citizen will
find it out and there will be a change.

The Sensational Success of a Score of
Years.

Everyone who has seen 1.-The thief
at the Lyceum theater, New York,
has pronounced it to be the strongest,
and most sensational play that has
been presented in New York in the past
score Of years. 1t is a powerful dra-
matte production with a beautiful
young wife who steals money with
which to buy personal adornments,
for it's heroine, and it is one of the
deepest and most attractive studies
of woman's ways and weaknesses that
have thus far come from the pens of
the dramatists. 1t is magnificently
acted by Kyrle Bellew and Margaret
Ellington in the chief roles, and is a
genuine dramatic treat in every way.
1t is crowding the Lyceum theater to
the doors at every performance, and
has made such deep and permanent
impression that it is certain to enjoy
a long term of prosperity in it's pres
emit quarters. Charles Frohman is
planning now to have four companies
playing "the thief" on tour.

MORE TRUE PATRIOTISM NEEDED.

All this talk of political bosses, buy
in. ana selling delegates as you
would personal property, delivering he
goods. etc. etc. is certainly not calcu-
lated 20 reflect much credit on Ameri-
can citizenship. but it has been
preached so long the people are be-
Ieving it and demand that they be
given the opportunity of directly die
tating public policies ard naming pub
lie officials.
So strong has become the opinion
that the average citizen is so corrupt
he cannot be trusted to associate with
so called bosses and politicians that
reformers declare the people shall lake
a more active part in politics and from
this ON. although the citizenship Is
corrupt, the boss will have to deal
with more people then under the old
convention. system and thus his power
will be harder to maintain and every
body will have a chance to get on the
inside of affairs.
The politician has not the time and
cannot afford to buy everyone so there
will consequently be less corruption
under the direct primary than under
the old convention methods
For ourselves we have not lost con-
fidence in the integrity OF American
citizens but believe that the proper in
terest on the part of the voters would
solve the question of political corrup-
ton under either the old or new sys-
TEN. The direc: primary will be pro-
ductive of no better results than we
have had in the past if the electors do
not take enough interest in the af-
fairs of The country to go to the polls
and give expression to their wishes.
Even should they go to the polls they
cannot cast an intelligent ballot I'M
less more time and study is given to
political conditions.
What the country needs more than
a direct primary law is an awakening
or the part of her citizens to the alb
solute necessity for good men taking
an active and conscientious interest in
politics Perhaps it is true that poll
tics are corrupt" But as long as the
self righteous citizen Goes nothing
more than stay from the polls and
howl about graft bosses, corruption,
etc, these conditions will continue.
We realize that it is quite the popu-
lar thing 10 say that the dear peo-
pie are being defrauded and that they
are being imposed upon by political
bosses who have no patriotism and
think of nothing but personal gain.
However. when carried to its last
analysis, we believe it is an insult to
American intelligence TO proclaim that
these conditions exist and that the
American citizen is SO much of a dupe
that he will allow a few debauched
and corrupt individuals to rob him and
that there is no help for i: Tell the
average man that he is fool and he
is ready to fight Tell the dear people
they are being imposed upon by a lot
of scalawags and they will pat you on

What the country needs, and what it
must have. is more interest on the
part of its private citizens in public af-
fairs. Let every man devote some of

lie affairs that he does to his own pri-
waite affairs and the solution of ques-
tons of public interest will be solved
