 Witness then explained how his exam inaton was made, his language being mostly technical.
 The witness was asked If insanity from alcoholic excesses was not permanent. His reply was that if deranged from exces- sive drinking exclusively this was true.
 The defense rested at o'clock at the conclusion of Dr. Emmons testimony.
 The evidence of Miss Kidd. the first witness called by the prosecution to dis prove Miss Lovings testimony. was ob- jected to on the ground that insanity wa the issue. This point was made the sub. feet of an argument.

Q Earth! Thou hast not any wind

That is not music. Every weed of

And every little hedgerow flower that
grows
And every little brown bird that doth
sing,
Has something greater than itself.

A living word to every living thing,
Albeit II holds the message unawares.
All shapes and sounds have something

Constructed at a cost Of s12 500, 900,
the new Plaza hotel in its IS stories
will shelter as permanent guests the
largest millionaire colony in the entire
world. From apartments de luxe

THE VERSATILE ROOSEVELT.

In Washington people in public life,
close in touch with all kinds of public
affairs, so situated that they see pub
lie men with their masks off, will tell
you that President Roosevelt pos
sesses all the vanity weakness,
strength, ambition. impulsiveness,
faults, foibles, failings. fallibility and
general human characteristics of any
other man. But they all arrive at the
same conclusion. that he is fearless
and freely acknowledging his errors
as quickly as he sees them, and in
the summing up of affairs In which
he is interested, in some manner and
in some degree usually carries his
point.

HAPPY ISOLATION.

The railroad will not be an unal-
loyed blessing to WaIlowa county,
says the News-Record. Conditions
here now as far as people are con-
cerned are almost ideal. There are
very few undesirable citizens in
Wallowa; fewer than found in any
community of which he writer Is
familiar and he has lived in a num-
Der of the central states that were
rated very high for intelligence,
thrift and morality. The railroad
will change that condition here in a
degree, but the benefits will far out
weigh tHe drawbacks. Besides. It will
be pretty touch character that the
influences Of as good people as re-
side here will not reform.

LEUPP ON THE INDIAN.

The following article from Francis
E. Leupp, commissioner Of Indian af-
fairs, on the attitude of the govern
ment toward the Indian, will be of in
terest to the people of Pendleton. Mr..
Leupp says:
The attitude of the government to-
ward the American Indian is no longer
enc OF paternalism. 1t is seeking to
place the Indian in a position where
he can become a citizen, worker.
President Roosevelt has made a
long study Of the Indian question, and
1t has been his opinion that the In
dians have received too much nurs-
ing. They have been herded into
corrals, so to speak, and penned in
reservations; have been fed and cloth
ed at government expense. That such
action was necessary in the early pio-
neer days there is no doubt. Today
this seems no longer necessary.
In round numbers there are 1OO,-
600 Indians in the United States at
the present time. We have about
5000 agents and representatives look
ing after them. BY degrees we are
selecting Indians for independent
methods of living We say to them:
Here is a plot of ground. Here are
garden seeds. implements and sup
plies. On your own exertions will de-
pend your future"
This establishes a child of nature
as a tiller of the soil An Indian
makes one of the best of laborers.
The railroads can testify to that fact.
But take a white man and give him
all he needs. How many Of them
work hard if some one was
for them? This is the po-
sition of the Indian. We have cared
for him and protected him and allow
ed him to depend on the agent for
practically everything he needed.
This plan is being done away with.
It will be a gradual process. 1t VIII
not be done in this year or the next,
But the policy is being consistently
followed out and the list of absolute
" dependent Indians is being de-
creased every year.
And the work Is being done syste-
A watch is exercised over
all Of our wards. When one is found
sufficiently advanced to look after
himself, he is expected to do so.
We want to make the way easy for
The Indian. Help him to assert his
manhood; help him to become an
American citizen. Many underesti-
mate the ability and power Of devel-
opment inherent in an Indian. All
he needs is a chance.

and also for the man who does not
place his business prominently before
the trading public.
New people are coming into every
section OF Umatllla county every
month. The first thing they do is to
subscribe for a leading county paper
and they are guided largely by its ad-
vertising columns. New people are
coming into every county in eastern
oregon, slowly it may be in places,
but new faces are seen every week,
not only in the rural districts. but
more nouceably in the towns and
business men cannot hope to reach
these people except through the news
papers.
II Heppner "ties the Potts country
to her" by building good roads and
her business industries,
she is making a legitimate conquest.
II Walla Walla wins Pendleton trade
from the east end of Umatilla county
by advertising, good transportation
facilities and other means, she is
a legitimate conquest. Busi-
ness methods count.
Pendleton is the logical trading
center for all of this county and
large portion of several surrounding
counties. but If the leading lines men,
toned do not help bring in the trade,
it certainly will not come to them.
This is an age Of advertising, and
people have the spirit, in every walk
in life.

SECURITY.

Why should l fear though a storm
be raging?
The wind and trees hold high revel
tonight.
Asleep by my side loved ones lie
dreaming;
Babes and their father-hair dark

On the pane hear the strong rain
beating,
The sea rushes high in the storms
vast hold.
Content l listen; dear ones soft
breathing
Encircles me close-my own pre-

Sweeter than youth, and wiser than

Greater than all is the love that is
pain
Life measures death bereft of this
glory.

The officials in charge have put

THE COWARD.

A coward never learns the heights of
life,
He dwells in trembling spirit on
the brink
OF what he has been taught or told;
alas,
A coward dare not try to preach or
think.
A coward he, who pales at sight of
pain;
A coward he, who shrinks at every
foe;
A coward and a curse are on in name,
Both waiting to be shown the way
to go.
A coward never felt the bounding
bliss
OF all the pushing, surging songs
unsung
A coward dies, he can not live again
Because he fears the phantoms he's
among.

AFTER PENDLEToN TRADE.

In the East Oregonian of today is
an article from the Heppner Gazette,
telling of the energetic efforts OF
Heppner Commercial association to
build a good wagon road into the
Potts, Gurdane and Nye districts of
southwestern Umatilla county, in Or
der to induce these sections of this
county to go to Heppner to trade.
The first work which Pendleton's
efficient Commercial association per-
formed upon its organization Is years
ago was to appoint a committee to
survey and help construct a wagon
road into the southern part of Una
tilla county, to make it easier for the
settlers in that section of the county
to reach the county seat. The Com
mercial association has been engaged
in public service for the people of
Umatilla county ever since.
Pendleton is the natural trading
point for the southwestern portion of
this county. Those people come here
to attend court, to pay taxes and on
other public business and Pendleton
business men should make it easy and
profitable for them to do their trad
ing here.
Heppner is to be congratulated up
on her enterprising efforts to secure
trade. and is entitled to all she can
get by legitimate and fair means,
through building roads, advertising
and other inducements, but she can
not hope to outclass Pendleton. with
all Of Pendleton's immense stocks to
draw from.
Coming to Pendleton to trade is
like going to Portland, as far as va
riety Of merchandise, up to date meth
DDS and large stocks are concerned.
Even though it is 20 miles further
from the Potts country to Pendleton
than to Heppner, the people Of that
section will profit by coming here,
where they will have the variety and
methods Of metropolitan stores to
choose from. And yet they find many
inducements to go to Heppner.
The East Oregonian is read con-
stantly and with interest in nine
tenths Of the homes in the south
western portion Of Umatilla county.
Many Of the settlers there began taxi
ing this paper when they first located
there and have never missed copy
since Naturally they look to 1t for
Information about Pendleton trade
conditions and depend largely upon
It's advertisements for that informa-
ton
Their winter schools are now start
ing, they have just sold their cattle,
grain and hay and are ready to make
winter purchases, but in scanning
Pendleton papers they find no adver-
tisements of school books, no grocery
advertisements, no hardwpare adver-
tisements, no lumber or laundry ad-
vertlsements The Heppner papers
are fun Of advertisements Of these
lines and the people Of the Potts
country could not be blamed for send
ing 10 the Morrow county town or
10 Portland or elsewhere, . IL they
found these industries advertised in
telligently.
And yet Notwithstanding this lack
of interest and home pride on part
OF many lines, the East Oregonian IS
in duty bound TO fight for Pendleton
10 induce people to come here TO
trade; tell them Of the good schools,
modern methods, profitable trade in
ducements to be found and IN other
ways bring in business for both the
