NOW FOR THE WORK.

The good roads convention held
here yesterday was a success and
much good will come from it if the
executive committee named will but
do the work that is before it,
The crowd to which Judge Scott
spoke yesterday was composed Of the
men he wanted to meet-the farmers,
autoists, representative business men
and county officials. He presented
the subject in a concise, logical man
rer and then induced those present to
organize a good roads association.
Now it is up to H. j. Taylor, Wal
tel Mccormack and the other Off
GERS to work. Let them go into the
proposition deep and strong. Find
cut where improvements are needed
and then get them If they are obtain
able. Everybody will help.
lHcle are many lilHSS THIS SOOu
roads association can do. For one
thing the executive committee nigh;
drive over the reservation and see
how poor the roads are there. Then
they might consult Major McFatridge
and see If the government cannot do
something to better conditions. At
the same time they might inquire
when the government is going to open
a highway across the reservation.
But to secure good roads or any
other improvement, hard consistent
work must be done. II is now up to
the good roads association officers to
Go this. If they do not intend to do

terday's meeting never been held.

It is a good suggestion that the new
rooms for the Commercial club be
fitted up as much as possible with
furniture made in Pendleton." The
Forster planning mill makes mission
furniture that is as good as any in
the world. To have some of this in
the Commercial club quarters would
be a standing advertisement of the
fact that Pendleton is manufactur-
ing town.

CHANGE.

Oh. it's home-home-
But it's home no more to me.
Though little is the change
That my weary eyes can see,
Still the water shines and flows,
Still the sea-gulls wheel and cry,
Still the west with sunset glows
And the moon swims i'm the sky.
Still the fisher-boats come in.
Round the light and drop the sail,
Still hear the voices thin
From the shore give answering hail.
Is it last years bird that sings
Hidden somewhere in the caves?
Is it last years flower that springs
Just there, in its clustering leaves? ?
Still the ships bells give the hour,
Still, afar, the bugles play;
Peace was once this moments
dover
Oh. it's Monochrome,
But it's home no more to me!

The tricks by which a shoplifter
succeeds in plying her profession with
out being caught are many and in

most successful Of all tricks is the
false arm and hand. While the shop
lifter's hands are apparently in sight
Of the store clerks, one is at work
slowing away articles. The false hand
is, Of course, gloven and thrust
through one Of the sleeves. The real
hand works under cover Of the bodice

came out of the underbrush, full OF
wounds and brushes, in search OF a
full meal and soft pallet. The behest
is simply to love your neighbors as
you love yourself, and the qualitioa-
tion is such as to fit every case; for
when you look frankly into the
depths of your own heart-into the
dark room, as it were, where your ma
tive thoughts and desire seethe and
and rage, and catch glimpse, how
ever fleeting, of the lair of the beast,
you will have to acquire stranger
taste for what is almost wholly bad if
you fall in love with the things you
find there. Let no thin scum of piety,
however real it may be, interfere
with the thOrOughneSs of this self-eX
animation; let no veneer of culture
and refinement come between your
vision and the thing you really
are; and when you have seen all there
is to be seen, and learned great
deal you never knew before, you will
be compelled to admit that your
neighbor must indeed be a monster

THE STUPID MAN NEEDS A
GOOD WIFE

But THE CLEVER MAN CAN GET ALONG
NICELY WITH STUPID ONE.
That stupid man needs a clever
wife needs no discussion, Says Will
liam I. Stead, in the July DECLINEA-
TOR. The stupider a man is, the
cleverer his wife to be, to make up
FOR the stupidity of the male partner
in the manage. A clever man can
better afford to face the struggle for
existence with a stupid wife tina n
can stupid man; That is quiet OBJ
vious. For if cleverness may be re-
garded as the intellectual stock in
trade with which the married couple
start out to do business in tho world,
the less capital that either partner
has, the more important it is that
the other should be well proved with
the Indispensable element necessary
for success in life. There Is, there
fore some reason for recommending
that stupid men should marry clever
women and that stupid women should
marry clever men, in order to make
things even all round. On the other
the precept, BE ye not unequally
yoked together with unbelievers, y
may be held to lay down to general
principle capable Of being applied to
the question now under discussion.
1t is obviously desirable that two
people who are to live togeather are
their lives should be sufficiently neat
in intellectual attainment
to have interests in common. and to
be able to understand each other
when they are left togeather in the
t6Ge-a tete of matrimony.

Taft's Work in the Philippines.

| In three and half centuries Span
ish rule had given the people of the
Philippines one instruction, the
church. In three and a half years Taft
nodded them into nation, "a rudi
mentary nation, true, but equi ped
with all the Institutions of moGc. =

people, and won their liking; he laugh

their confidence; he made the Phil.

Ing star, and in the end won not on

those who would exploit those people
and those islands; the strong human
side of him impelled him to make the
Filipinos his children, his wards, and
for them he worked and fought, not
only at Manila, but at Washington,
In defiance of prejudice, and politics,
ana tariff narrOWness, and now the
tlllplnoS atfectionately call him San
to Taft. To them he must indeed ap.
pear as something like saint. To the
observing world his work out there in
the islands of the Pacific takes rank
among the greatest achievements of
constructive craftsmanship shining
upon the pages which tell the story
how the white man has carried his
burden. 1t was Taft who convinced
skeptial world that the Americans EOt
only bad the power successfully TO
administer a colonial trust, but t.. ad-
minister it beneficently, unselGshly.
And we all know that during II GER
tain period of national doubt, unctr-
tainty, even reaction in vexatioA rs

success of this administrator r,-wOrk

the Philippines which the world bad
expected we should make was due to
the skill and genius of this young ln.n
who had stepped from the berch to

in the world. The smiling, laugh h.ng,
working giant carried with full sue

CHIMES OF NORMANDY
 PLAYED IN PRESCOTT
Splendid Presentation Made Under the
 Direction of Phoenix Musician.

That beautiful opera, Chimes of Normandy" was given in Prescott Fri day night under the direction of J. Homer Grunn. piano instructor in the faculty of the Arizona School of Music, of this city It was a fine cast of fourteen characters, most of whom were local talent, though T. Francis Hughes of the School of Music was among them, taking the part of the Marquis of Bonneville There was also a local chorus of forty voices and a fine orchestra of nine pieces, among them Prank L. Stuchal, also of the School of Music. The piece was staged under the direction of Mrs. H. T. Southworth and H. J. Tilley
 The Journal Miner makes an eX- tended mention of the event in which the most complimentary things are said of all the singers. Praise is also given the costuming, staging and act
 ing, indicating that it was a musical event of unusual merit. Speaking of MT. Grunn and the others who directed the different phases of the production, that paper says:
 "Too much can not be said in praise of the baton work of Mir. J. Homer Grunn. His solo piano numbers at the concert in Prescott some weeks ago were a revelation of musical genius. His work as conductor last evening was a revelation of the versatility of his genius. His future will surely take him into a far greater field than the ,whole southwest affords. Taken into Consideration that MT. Grunn had his company in training only three Short weeks, the completeness of last nights performance can be considered little short of marvellous in accomplishment. The chorus of forty voices deserves especial praise. The costumes were in excellent taste-picturesque and in touch with the characters and the settings of the play Mrs. Southworth and Mir Tilley are deserving of high praise for their successful efforts in staging the opera. The orchestra was all that one could desire"
