THE POWER OF MIND
OVER BODY.
(orison SWEET Marden, in Success
Magazine.)


(orison SWEET Marden, in Success
Magazine.)
We hear a great. deal about the
power o fthe mind over the body
Why, the whole secret of life Is wrap
ped up in it, We do not know the A,
B, c of this great, mysterious power,
though the civilized world is rapidly
awakening to its Transforming force.
The prophet, the poet, the sage, from
earliest times, have felt and recog-
nized it,
"Be ye transformed by the renew
ing power of your mind" Paul ad-
monshed the Romans. "Tis the
mind that makes the body rich" says
Shakespeare. What we commonly
call man." writes Emerson, "the eat
ing, drinking, planting, counting man,
does not, as we know him, represent
himself. Him we do not respect. But
the soul whose organ he Is, would he
let 1t appear through his action, would
make our knees bend"
Today even the prize fighter. the
uneducated. as we'll as the educated,
the man who lives on the animal
plain even as the man who lives on
the spiritual plane, in fact all sorts
of people, are beginning to see that
there Is some tremendous force back
of the flesh which they do not un-
derstand. The rapid growth of the
so-called New Thought movement
shows how actively this idea of mans
ridden power is working in the minds
of all classes.

WOMEN IN UNIVERSITIES.

Consul Thomas H. Norton, writing
from Chemnltz, says that the question
of admitting women to equal rights
with men in the privileges of the Ger
man universities is still far from be-
ing generally settled. He adds:
The universities in Saxony and in
the southern half of the empire-Ba-
varia, Baden and Wurtemberg-have
all opened their doors to female stu
dents, and granted them all academic
rights, matrlculation, graduation, etc.
Others admit them only as visitors to
lectures, but refuse to them all other
privileges. The University of Berlin
has adopted a compromise, refusing
matrlculation to women, but allow
ing them to attend courses of study
as visitors, and also, with the approx
al Of their instructors, to present
themselves as candidates for the ex-
aminations leading to the Doctors de-
gree.
During the past winter the 21 Ger
man universities enrolled 800 matric-
ulated women, and 1904 female visit
ors. There was an increase over the
preceding winter Of 35 matrlculates
and OF 800 visitors. The matriculates
we're divided among the eight uni
verslties, where they are allowed en-
trance, as follows: Munich, 1876, Hell
delberg. IS, Freiburg SO, Leipzig 36,

WI TING FANG'S LITTLE JOKE.

WI Ting Fang, Chinese minister to
the United. States, is playing another
one of the jokes for which he is IA
nous, says the Salt Lake Herald. WI
Ting some time ago was credited with
having made the statement that he
had discovered a system of diet
which would probably enable him to
live for 200 years. A Boston man be
came curious and bit. He wrote the
Chinese minister for the recipe for
longevity, and received the following
plan of daily procedure:
an answer to your letter request
ing my plan of diet I have to say as
follows: % 1 have given up my
breakfast, taking two meals a day,
lunch and dinner. CD Abstain from
all flesh food; my diet is rice, or,
when 1 go out to dinner, whole wheat
bread, fresh vegetables, nuts ana
fruit; CD l avoid all coffee, cocoa.
tea, liquors, condiments and all rich
foods; (4) I have given up salt also,
because 1t Is found that salt makes
ones bones stiff; 60 l masticate
every mouthful Of food thoroughly
before it is swallowed; CO. I don't
drink at meals, but between meals or
one hour after meals; 90 1 practice
deep breathing; (S) I take moderate
exercise"
Mr.. WI has improved upon the
Fletcher fad, which finds a remedy
for every bodily i'll in complete mas
tication. The Fletcherites eat many
forms of food, but the Chinese min.
lister permits only rice. and 1t without
salt. At least pinch OF salt should
be permitted for the recipe.

THERE is NO FAILURE.

(Thomas Speed Mosby in Success
Magazine,
There is no failure. Life itselfs a
song
OF victory DER death, and ages long
Have told the story of triumphs
wrought
Unending. from the things once held
for naught.
The battles over; though defeated
now,
In coming time the waiting world
shall bow
Before the throne of Truth that's
bullded high
Above the dust of those whose ashes
lie
All needless of the glorious fight they
won
When death obscured the light of
vict'ry's sun.
There is no failure. II we could but
see
Beyond the battle line; if We could
but be
Where battle-smoke does ne'er be-
cloud the eye.
Then we should know that where
these PROSTATE lie
Accoutered in habiliments of death
Sweet Freedoms radiant form has
drawn new breath
The hraath ~ 1ifa u-hfoh
nobly gave
Shall swell anew above the lowly
grave
And give new life and hope to hearts
that beat
Like battle drums that never sound
retreat.
There is no failure. Gods immor-
tai plan
Accounts no loss lesson learned for
man.
Defeat is oft the discipline we need
To save us from the wrong, or teach
ing heed
To errors which would else more
dearly cost
A lesson learned is ne'er a battle lost.
Whene'er the cause is right, be not
afraid;
Defeat is then but victory delayed
And cen the greatest victries of the
world
Are often won when battle-flags are
furled.
They who lie down with lambs shall
arise with fleece.

A DEMONSTRATION FARM.

Nothing would be more beneficial
to Umatilla county at this time than
a demonstration farm and If the re-
gents of the agricultural college are
to establish any more stations, they
should be implored to start one here.
To have the large wheat ranches
of the county broken into smaller
ones is the prayer Of all and the hope
of the county lies in the answering
of this appeal. But the big ranches
will be broken up when it has been
shown that other crops may be raised
with more profit than wheat. No
sooner.
While here with the demonstration
train the men from the agricultural
college declared that annual crops
may be raised in Umatilla county,
and that summer following is a USE
less waste. They are doubtless right.
Years ago there was but little diver
sified farming in the Willamette
ley. At institutes held in every COM
munity of that section the agricultu-
raj college men taught for years the
gospel that was heard here this
spring. Today the Willamette valley
is being devoted to intensified farm
irg and wheat raising is becoming
lost art. Will time not bring the
same changes in eastern Oregon?
In western oregon the scientific
agriculturists had the advantage of
the experimental farm at Corvallis by
means of which they were able to
prove that what they taught was
right. If they had a demonstration
farm in Umatilla county perhaps they
could do the same here. Such Is to
be hoped and there is so much at
stake that the attempt should be
made. Should it succeed Umatilla
county would be converted from a
giant checkerboard of wheat fields
and summer fallow into a paradise Of
small homes

probably never brighter for Pendle>
ton than at present. The city is in
line for a gravity water system and
a city park. A city hall is being
built and the town will soon have
splendid federal building, The levee
is being strengthened so that there
will be no further danger from floods
and the development of the arid lands
in the Hermiston-Echo country
promises to bring thousands OF new
people into the county.
This being true, isn't it time for
the people of the city to forget that
there was ever any contention and
unite in the work for the future. To
make Pendleton the town it really
should be, and can be made, will re-
Quire hard, unceasing, unselfish work
on the part Of her people. There
should be no dissension in the ranks
of those who are fighting for the
city's good and any bitterness that
may have resulted from the recent
election should be buried deep in the
graveyard Of the past, Pendleton
has no timesfor further post mortems
There is work to be done for the fu-
ture and all good citizens should help.
The stones which some would hurl at
others who differed from them in
opinion should be used in building a
greater Pendleton.

IN A PERMANENT PLACE.

Secretary Cortelyou was elaborat-
ing on his recent eplgram, Politics

81 don't mean by politics spoil
hunting and office-seeking. Politics
is a good and honorable word. 1t is
shame to have degraded 1t. We
should try and uplift it again to its
right place.
1--WE don't want the word politics
to evoke the pictures of such a man
as Hilary Harkness.
Hillary Harkness was politician
OF the lowest type, and unsuccessful
at that His whole life was devoted
to office-seeking; he spent 81 years
vainly seeking a $1,000 office-hours
10 to 2-while his wife and daughter

TAX THE SPECULATOR.

The attention of Assessor C. p.
Strain of Umatilla county, and Of the
assessors OF other eastern counties, is
called to the fact that timber land
which cost the entrymen but $3.50
per acre is being sold at from $500
to $4,000 per quarter section, or from
four to eight times its original cost.
If this land is worth from $500
to $4,000 for purposes of speculation,
1t is also worth this much for pur-
poses Of taxation.
AS several townships of this timber
land have just been entered in Una
tilla and adjoining counties, the In
creased taxes from this source
should have a perceptible effect on
the taxes of these counties.
"oh," say the owners, this land is
idle and there is no market for the
timber. The real value of the land
is the government price, or $3.50 per
acre"
The value and earning capacity Of
property is determined by the income
it yields the owner and an income is
not necessarily estimated by the
number of dollars in coin it returns.
If this land has jumped up in
value from s4OO per quarter section
to $4,000 per quarter in two years, it
had actually added that much wealth
to the holdings of the owner. whether
sold or held for greater advance in
value.
Every foot of this kind of land held
for purely speculative purposes should
be taxed on its boasted market value
and not on what 1t cost the entryman.
This method of taxing speculative
property will bring new industries to
the county quicker than anything else.
The owners will make the property
productive rather than pay the tax on
high values and get nothing in return
from the idle land.
City lots held for speculation, tim
Der land, irrigated land or any other
property held purely for advancing
values, should be made to pay an
equal share Of the public expense,
with property in use.

ISN'T THIS RIGHT?

Pendleton has now been dry for
nearly a month and the people have
had an opportunity to see what pro-
hibition Is like. 1t is not bad.
During the past month Pendleton
has been the same bustling little city
II has always been. True, the police
court has been quiet for there have
been practically no arrests since the
first Of the month. A few men have
left town and people travelling Main
street no longer see the drunken.

OF the saloon locations are still un-
occupied.
But business in general has been

town is not ruined. A few CUSTOM

the store men are recompensed by the
fact that those who remain have more
money TO spend with them. There
