For Morris Andrews, whose picture
appears on this page of The Sunday
Herald today, a brilliant future is
predicted. NJ. Andrews, who is just
16 years of age, won the first prize for
violin seniors over all competitors at
the musical chdutauqua held recently
at Wandamere- There was no heSita-
ton, nor was there any debate among
the adjudicatOFs over this award.
Young Andrews gets a beautiful sing
ing tone out of his violin; he plays
with good expression and his musical
temperament enables him to give a
warm and sympathetic rendition of
solos which require Interpretation as
well as technic. Andrews is a valued
member of the Salt Lake Symphony
orchestra. He has studied Tor four
years with George Z. Shelton. Arthur
Hartman. who is described as the
wizard of the violin" the last time
he visited Salt Lake City heard young
Andrews play and he said: This boy
has undoubted talent and he has the
physique necessary To stand the hard
work" And John J. Mcclellan, one
of Salt Lakes foremost musicians, is

him.

An ~lnvincibic.

When .Alcibiades was told that his
countrymcn had passed sentence Of
death upon him for being at the head
OF Il conspiracy to overthrow the re-
ligious and political constitution Of
Athens lie said, Il will show them |
still live" He obtained from Sparta
assurance of personal safety and went
hither. He delighted and charmed the
Spartans. as he had the Athenians in
his earlier years. He adopted their
customs and dress and was the strict
est Spartan of them all. He wore his
hair short, bathed in the icy waters
of the Eurotes and ate their black
broth and barley bread. They believed
that he had been misrepresented. In
truth, as Plutarch said, "he changed
color more quickly than a chameleon"
In Sparta. he was grave temperate
and fond of physical exercise; in Ionia
he was easy going, luxurious and mer-
~: in Thrace he was drunken, in
Thessaly he was devoted to horseman-
ship, and in the court of the Persian
satraps he surpassed Tissaphernes
himself in m~agnifcence. AS Sparta
was to be the prize of the Athenian
victory. lie showed the people their
danger, advising them to begin active
operations against that city. No bet
ter advice could have been given them.

Questioning is Not Conversation.


The man who imagines that the art
Of conversation consists in asking ques-
lions spoils conversation as much as
the man who never asks any. People
of this description will interrupt a
speaker as frequently as they do in the
French chamber and run a%nxiously
from subject to subject with their inter
rogatories, like a cackling hen that is
going to lay an egg. Horace Walpole,
when exiled at Houghton, bemoans the
existence of such a pest in the person
Of an aunt. Writing to his friend Sir
Horace Mann, he says: II have an aunt
here, a family piece of goods, an old
remnant of inquisitive hospitality and
economy. She wore me so down by
day and night with interrogations that
I dreamed all night she was at my ear
with a who's, why's, when's and what's
till at last in my very sleep I cried out,
For heavens sake, madam, ask me no
more questions"
DR.. Johnson's dislike of being ques-
toned is we'll known, and he gives the
classic REPUTATION of the habit in his
own inimitable style: 'Sir, questioning
is not the mode of conversation among
gentlemen. 1t is assuming a superior
ity, and it is particularly wrong to
question a man concerning himself

lie had taken little elsie and had
crossed the continent with her that she
should Ne far removed from all who
might allude to her mother.
AS they sat in the car, the child lost
in wonder at the constantly shifting
scene, he had planned the story, and
once he had made his new home he
had set to work.
All the bitterness of his heart he had
written into the book. 1t was the
plain tale of his own experience, told
with the simple directness of one who
feels deeply, except that into the last
chapter he had written an ending such
as he wished that she might suffer.
Almost gloatingly he drew the picture
Of emorse and shame that followed
the desertion. and now reading it over
he shuddered at the evil picture his
OWE fierce desire had conjured up.
For years he had sought a theme
that should lead him to his great &C.
complishment. Agnes, too, had sought
to help him, but their lines had fallen
in the pleasant places. and he wrote
things that were salable, but not great.
Then she had left him for Tredgar, q
man who had done things, and his in
spiration had come. He knew that he
had done well, that this book would
bring him fame and opportunity. and

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-09-04

As a result of decision handed
down by the supreme court Monday,
Pendleton will have to wait at least
until after next June's election be-
fore ii can be given an armory build
ing.
On Monday Chief Justice Bean
rendered an opinion for the court in
the case of the referendum petition
against the University of Oregon's ap-
preparation. The petition had been
declared invalid by Circuit Judge Gal
loway because 1t did not contain the
warning clause. However, this was
held by the supreme court not to be
a fatal defect, and the following ex-
tract from Chief Justice Beams de-
cision states the attitude taken by the
court:
"The purpose OF the petition for
referendum is TO identify a particular
enactment of the legislative assembly,
which the petitioners desire to have
referred to the people-a question OF
identity, not of legislation"
THE statute has not in terms en-
acted that there shall be a warning
clause upon the petition, but only in
giving the form of the petition in
cluded a warning therein, which 1t
provides shall be substantially the
form of petiuon,'" and this part of
the statute is only provision of form
to aid in carrying out a right already
existing, Independent of the statute,
and expressly states that 1t is not
mandatory"
While the armory appropriation
case was not one of those decided by
the court, the facts in the case are
said to be identical with those in the
University of oregon appropriation
case. Consequently. 1t is feared that
the guard appropriation will also
have to wait until the people can
vote upon the measure next June.

the members that the work on the

the work Is still within the aprropr,a.

completion of the Umatilla project.
No intimation has yet been received
from the government as to the time
