By the authority of President Roose-

view of touching them up" for cam

Mr.. Gary reciprOcates. While abroad
recently he bestowed great praise upon
the president, and also commended the
action of the men engaged in the iron
and steel business for keeping up
prices, which leads the New York Jour
nal of Commerce to observe:
This frankly puts the steel corporation
on the same high moral level as the pres
ident of the United States. 1t is the prince
Of good trusts and intends never to be
bad any more. But Judge Gary does not
mean to confine the virtues of this great
ana good trust to itself He would nave
them pervade the iron and steel bust
ness of the world 1.-The manufacturers
of iron and STEEL he says, ''of all coun-
tries should be working together with and
for one another" He would not adVO-
cate anything 'antagonistic to the laws
or public welfare but there should be
"a full and free interchange of ideas and
Information" and an organized commit
tee of men whose advice should always
be followed" Thus would the sinful
community of interest" be converted
into a Christian brotherhood and a sancti-
fled monopoly. Therein would be the
reward of virtue and goodness. and the
example might serve to regenerate all be-
nighted branches of business and extermi-
nate bad trusts from the face of the
earth. Petroleum. powder and tobacco
and even railroads, might be brought into

honest and sincere men, who could NOT
be surpassed. May the time be fastened

In Mr.. Bryan's speech at Paris, Mo.

shape of a letter from the office of the
attorney general of the United States
that the steel trust is immune from
prosecution under a Republican al
That the immunity has
been purchased not a doubt remains in
the mind of any sane person in the
United States.

THERE is NO FAILURE.
(Success.)

tSucceSS.)
There is no failure Life itself's a song
OF victory DER death, and ages long
Have told the story old of triumphs
wrought
Unending from 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 builded
high
Above the dust of those who ashes lie
All needless of the glorious fight they
When death obscured the light of vic'try' 5

There is no failure If we could but see
Beyond the battle line; if we could be
Where battle smoke does neer becloud

Then We should know that where these

Accoutered in habiliments of death.
Sweet Freedoms radiant form has drawn
new breath
The breath of life which they so nobly
gave
Shall swell anew above the lowly grave
And give new life and hope to hearts that
Like battle drums that never sound re-

There is no failure Gods immortal plan
Accounts no loss a lesson learned for man.
Defeat is oft the discipline we need
To save US from the wrong, or teaching

To errors which would else more dearly
cost
A lesson learned is ne'er battle lost.
Where'er the cause is right, be not afraid !;
Defeat is then but victory delayed
And cen won when battle flags are

FALL TIM E
lChicako Record-HeraldD

Chicago Record-Herald)
A haunting sadness fills my heart,
And there is pathos in my song,
How swiftly do the days depart,
How briskly autumn speeds along!
The pippin's cheek is yellowing.
The shadows lengthen day by day;
The chickens Matched out in the spring
Have brought such joys as broilers bring
And gone their way.
The nests are empty on the boughs;
The recent bridegroom hears his bride
Remind him of the solemn vows
He made the day he put aside
The freedom which he long had known
And which shall be for him no more;
The tuneful Oriole has flown.
And on the hills the ewes disown
The lambs they bore.
Yet here and there a petal sways,
Belated, in the autumn breeze;
The distant hills are dimmed with haze
And crimson streaks the maple trees;
The chorus girls line up with great,
Glad signs of hope, or filled with fear,
While stage doors guards eXpectorate
Upon the steps and let them wait
The fall is here.

particularly innocent lot of lambs, one
should say. They were "piped'' by a
gang of bunco-steerers who had sta
toned themselves at convenient places
on the campus. One by one the fledg-
lings were approached. Each was told
that for 81 he could buy a ticket which
would admit him to all the buildings,
assure him of courteous treatment from
the professors and get a good place in
the registration line. Those who did
not look as if they would part with so
much as 81 were let off with 50 cents

heeced the freshmen are supposed t.
have been upper classmen. IL they
were, their future pathway in life is

FINANCED BY STEEL TRUST.

The man chiefly interested in the
success of the Republican party this
fall is Andrew Carnegie, and that he
should subscribe $4,000 TO the Taft
campaign fund is not surprising. Car
negie has been the recipient Of count
less millions under the working Of the
tariff laws. and is now the possessor
of steel corporation bonds 10 the
amount OF half a billion dollars. 1t
may be true that the $4,000 contribu-
ton was really put UP by the gigantic
trust, and that the name Of Mr.. Car
negie was used to cover up the crime.
The president of the United States is
said to regard the steel corporation as
a good trust, and it certainly has
been a good producer when Repubii-
can corruption funds have been raised
from time to time. But there are COM
pensations outside of the tariff laws

BUSINESS AND POLITICS.

According to the stock market re-
ports in the press and the letters sent
out by New York brokerage firms to
their customers, business is being held
back on account of the uncertainty of
the outcome on Nov. g. Without a
shadow of excuse, no effort is being
made in some branches of Grade to i'm
prove the situation developed by the
panic prior to election day. Of course.
the fly in the ointment of the protected
interests is the probability of the. cleo
ton of Mr.. Bryan, but the time has ar
rived when the evil predictions Of
these people must be discounted In the
market letter of CIews & Co. the fol-
lowing statement is made:
Tt is not to be expected that politics will
have any very serious or permanent eff
feet upon trade movements or prices. be-
cause actual consumption is not material
" affected by such circumstances, and
orders held back pending uncertainty will
ity later on. History shows that the eff
feet of presidential campaign upon bust
ness has always been more sentimental
than actual.
That is the gospel truth, and the
wonder is that the men who profess to
have the welfare of the country at
heart and who have been so vocifer-
ously shouting for the return of pros
perity did not calmly go ahead with
their business affairs instead of trying
to scare the people into voting for Mr.

A. Montgomery Talks to High School
Students.

A. Montgomery, the painter who
farms and the farmer who paints"
has been the attraction in this city
today. At the high school this morn
ing he addressed the students and
faculty: this afternoon he is talking
to the club ladies at he home of Mrs.
c. ]. Smith and tonight he will be
at the Presbyterian church, where he
viii exhibit his pictures following the
recital by Miss Young. There will be
no admission.
Before the high school students
this morning Mr.. Montgomery prov
cd himself an entertaining talker. His
discourse was filled with witticisms
and he held the close attention of the
students during the entire time he
was upon the floor.
This evening Mr.. Montgomery
pictures will be on display at the
Presbyterian church and those who
desire to see them may do so without
cost by calling at the church.
Mr. Montgomery expects to leave
on the westbound train tonight. 1t
is very probable that he will return
to Pendleton at a later date and give
a regular lecture.
