Forty-two senators voted for the
bill, of whom three were democrats.
There were only sixteen votes against
II, of which eleven were cast by
democrats and Ave by republicans.
Several Senators OF each party were
absent. including the committee OF
ten which accompanied the body OF
Senator Bryan to Florida. The
Bailey substitute which was the dem
ocratic measure was rejected by a
strict party vote of AZ to 10.
The Aldrich bill was introduced in
the Senate on January and referred
to the Committee on Finance. from
which it was reported on January 80.
1t will now go to the House where it
is expected to be passed. as it is con-
sidered a much better measure than
the Fowler bill which has been re-

IGNORED THE PRESS.

The last legislature of oregon pass
ed a law requiring the secretary of
state to send out printed copies of the
initiative measure before the people
to every voter in the state, thus giving
the state printer work which justly
belongs TO the newspapers Of the
state.
Before the legislature passed this
unreasonable measure the newspapers
of the state printed the initiative and
referendum measures and thus the
measures reached the voters in an at
tractive and readable form. The cost
to the state was insignificant, COM
pared to the service rendered by the
newspapers.
With over 200 papers in the state
of Oregon, every voter in the state
could be easily reached through this
medium, but that the state printers
enormous income might be further
increased, the legislature decided that
the newspapers of the state are no
good anyway, and so they were de-
prived OF this little mite of state ad-
vertising.
Tho work of printing and distribut-
ing 100000 copies of the initiative
measures before the people this year
will cost the taxpayers three times
as much as though the same work
was performed by the newspapers and
the publicity through the papers
would have been much greater than
under the present system.

one thing that is hurrying along the
good roads campaign In Umatilla

mobiles owned in the county. Auto

learned the need OF better highways

flood, the county has escaped very
luckily with the amount expended for

AGE.

Blindness, and women sailing on white
seas,
Seas where no placid sails have
ever been,
Dreams like wan demons on waste
marshes seen
Through dulllng fevered eyes. The
dregs and lees
OF wine long split to dead dlvinities.
Gray, empty days when Spring is
never green,
Can the heart answer what these
riddles mean
Can the life hold such hopelessness as
these?
Love lying low in the long pleasant
grass,
Youth with his eager face against
the sun,
They may not guess the hours when
these shall pass.
In what drear coin such lovely dreams
are paid,
At what grim cost their flowery
days are won,
When man is old and lonely and
afraid.

HEADS. AND FACES.


Pendleton has enjoyed most in
teresting series of lectures this week
from Mrs. Jean Morris Ellis, on the
subject of phrenology and character
study.
This old new theme is ever fasci-
mating, ever entertaining, ever instruc-
tive, but after all our research. all Of
our study, all of our carefl! and
painstaking estimates and rules. the
human enigma deceives US and upsets
it all by the very freakishness Of It's
Whims.
There are chronological rules which
seem to be fixed and unwavering and
yet the human head and face are mis-
judged. misunderstood. incorrectly es-
timated every day by experts.
There are magnificent specimens of
men and women with towering brain

manding faces and superb phrenolog-
iela landmarks doing menial labor.
filling inferior places, making no pro-
gress doing nothing worthy, having
no ideals. Their heads and faces are
simply false alarms. They are mis-
leading, deceptive signbords in the
scientific desert.
While on the other hand We find
men and women with nothing attrac-
tive in their make up, with no big
signs stamped on their heads or foces,
with commonplace chronological
landmarks, filling superior positions,
doing magnificent work for themselves
and humanity, making progress
climbing upward and lifting others
with them.
With no outward blare of trumpcts
they carry on a dynamic movement
within their circle and sphere: their
minds are dynamos. their nerves are
steel, their personalities magnetism
itself.
This is because men and women

posts are thrown aside by the impell-

a local nature, but obstacles founded
in the very life blood and heredity Of
the individual.

what we make them, after all.

OREGON EPIDEMIC.

The Press is informed that a new
ailment has broken out in this city.
II Is called Oregonitis. the person. af-
flicted being none other than our ro-
hnd friend, Charles F. Runkle. This
disease takes the form of an haluci-
nation that oregon knocks the socks
off South Dakota as a place of abode,
and is accompanied by an unquench-
able desire to talk of young onions,
new potatoes, asparagus and straw
berries right now when here we have
our fully matured crop of icicles and
snowballs.
DR.. McSloy has diagnosed this case,
and says that while it is a pronounced
type he believes that there will be a
radical abatement of the ailment, and
possibly a complete cure when the
summer days are come again" and

Everybody admits that Congressman
Ellis is the best qualified man OF the
three candidates in the field. for the
congressional nomination. He has had
the experience; he is now in office
and has his working harness on and
his friends and helpers organized in
congress; he is bona flde resident
of eastern Oregon and Is thoroughly
familiar with the needs of this dis
trict in which he has lived contlnu-
ously for the past quarter of century,
and It would be folly for the voters to
elect a new man who would be forced
to spend at least one term in learning
what is to be done and how to do 1t.

GOOD ROADS COMING.

Good roads are coming to Umatiila
county more rapidly than most OF us
imagine. During the past two years
an enormous sum has been expended
for both roads and bridges with the
result that the county is now supplied
with the finest steel wagon bridges in
eastern Oregon No other eastern
Oregon county comes anywhere near
to Umatilla's record in bridge build
ing.
This large expenditure for roads
and bridges is justified and the people
indorse 1t cheerfully. 1t has been
placed in permanent improvements,
and will not have to Be repeated.
Temporary road or bridge work must
be repeated from year to year at in

OKLAHOMA STARTS RIGHT.

The new senator's from Oklahoma
are starting right. Senator owen Of
the new state is an equal suffragist,
and this week made a most eloquent
and earnest plea for female suffrage
before the house committee on judic-
iary.
His arguments are unanswerable
] and the only reason men can assign
for refusing the ballot to their wives
and mothers, is that they are too sell
fish to permit women to share In this
common privilege. A Washington
dispatch says OF Senator Owens plea
for female suffrage:
Senator owen, of Oklahoma, was
one of the speakers in the woman
suffrage hearing before the house
committee on judiciary today His
address was frequently interrupted
with applause. He paid a glowing
tribute to womanhood. and earnestly
advocated universal suffrage.
Mr.. Alexander, of New York, asked
senator oRen II he would be willing
to give the ballot to the low class Of
immigrant women who come to this
country.
eyes" replied Senator, because
the vote OF the male immigrants is
largely dominated by the saloon and
brothel influences, and the vote of the
women would counteract the vote Of
this class of males"
The senator pointed out that in the
states where woman suffrage is uni
versal the percentage of women con-
victs is very low. He said in Wyom-
ing there is not one woman now in
the penitentiary. He contended that
women would largely vote against
corruption.
