BARRETT FOR REELECTION,

II is with the utmost pleasure and
sat sfaotion that the East oregonian
announces the candidacy of Represen-
tative Charles A. Barrett for re-elec-
ton to the legislature from Umatllla
county.
Mr.. Barrett is one of the strongest
republicans in eastern Oregon, a
hard worker, a fearless, aggressive
lawmaker and made an enviable rec
ord at the last session, although a
new member.
1t Is particularly pleasing to the
East Oregonian that Mr.. Barrett has
announced his adherence to and be-
lief in statement No. 1 upon which
principle he was elected by a hand
some plurality two years ago.
This will insure MIN even a greater
plurality this year as it is evidence
that he believes in the will of the ma
jority, the rule of the people. the
popular election of United States sem
ators. No greater platform was ever
promulgated by any people for the
furtherance of popular government
than this principle by which the peo-
pie may absolutely choose their sem
ators.
Mr. Barrett should have no opposl-
ton. He is hard and conscientious
worker and will make a vigorous
fight for the things which Oregon and
especially eastern Oregon and Una
tilla county, need, namely, better
freight rates and facilities; extension
Of the portage road; better water
laws; open rivers, as far as this sub
ject may be discussed by the legisla-
ture. and other vital laws for the de-
velopment and protection of the re-
sources OF the state.
The East Oregonian takes pride in
the fact that it helped elect Mr.. Bar
rett two years ago and has been just
ly proud Of his record. Had some of
the legislation proposed by Mr.. Bar
rett two years ago been adopted by
the legislature, oregon would have
been saved much trouble and expense
in the state depository matter which
agitated the state and it is
hoped that at the next session he will
see the fruition of his hopes for better
for the rights OF the people
IN this matter
Let US make Mr.. Barrett's nomina-
ion and election unanimous.

A LEAF IN THE WIND.


A leaf in the wind and life in the
blast.
The life and the leaf, how they flut-
ter apast
A leaf in the wlnd-where it comes,
whittier goes.
Who cares and who asks and who
feels and who knows?
a life in the wind, everywhere that 1t
moves,
Around it a shadow that cares and
that lovesl
Every inch. every ell that it travels
each day
A tender, sweet rose for IT'S sake by
the way,
And the leaf is a lesson as well as
the life,
For the part that it plays is a part
of the strife,
And it shows that the smaller the
need of the thing,
The lesser the care of the Infinite
wing.
Which hovers and hides in the fold
of its arm
The life that is needed from loss and
from harm.

The oregonian says that the con-
vlction of John Hall for completely
in the land frauds is the logical out
come of political system which has
been In power IN oregon for a third
of a century. The people know this
and they are trying to change this
system through popular legislation
and by placing the power in the hands
OF the people. Why does not the
oregonlan assist in making this
change instead OF being one OF the
last in the state to advise voters to
cling to this miserable system? The
people are far IN advance of the Ore
gonian--and others,

DIR. BLALoCK FOR CONGRESS.

Several papers in eastern Washing
ton are urging DR.. n. G. Blalock, the
pioneer irrigator and open river
worker, to run for congress from that
district and 10 this agitation the East
Oregonian says amen with a cheerful
spirt.>
No man in Washington deserves
more at the hands of the people Of
that state than this splendid old pio-
neer. He has been a worker for half
a century in the inland empire. He
has spent thousands of dollars in
money and has given the best. zeal
and ability of his life to the develop
ment of this section which we all
love.
In congress Dr. Blalock would be a
power as he has been power in
private life. He has the ripened ex-
per.ence of years to guide and direct
his efforts. He has a wider knowl-
edge on river navigation and river
development subjects than is possess
ed by any other man in the inland
empire and he has the backbone and
courage to back his judgment with
his money in every movement for the
betterment of the inland empire, and
has spent small fortune in attempt
ing to build up river boat service
for the benefit of this great country
east of the Cascades.
Oregon is directly Interested in the
question of sending DR.. Blalock to
congress from eastern Washington
Thousands of Oregon people who
have worked in hand with this noble
old pioneer for almost half century
viii give him their hearty support in
best wishes and prayers although they
cannot vote for him.

TWO MEN.

Day after day we meet them,
Wherever our paths may lead,
Two men of the self-same habits,
And men Of the self-s9me breed,
Both of them ready to follow
Where the call of duty may bid,
But one is the man that didn't,
And one is the man that did.
With hands that were strong and will
ing,
And hearts that were stout and
bold,
They went to the wild Alaska
To dig for the wealth of gold;
They dug In the earth together
Where the glittering ore was hid,
But one was 'the man that didn't
And one was the man that did.
They went to the wildcat" region
To bore for elusive oil,
Their drills went under the surface,
Through a thousand feet of soil;
They anchored their pipes together
Right down on the cap rocks" lid
But one was the man that didn't
And one was the man that did.
Then why should one be lowly,
And why should the other be great,
They followed alike the courses
Mapped out by the hand of fate?
But honor with all its baubles
Goes screeching the throngs amid.
To frown on the man that didn't
And smile on the man that did.

MORGAN CONsULTs oCCUITs.

J. Pierpont Morgan is going in for
the occult, says a New York letter.
His interest is a serious one. He
not only buys books and studies these
ancient precepts of the oldest races

not above seeking diversions by an
occasional sitting or reading.
To show how facts grow out of fic-
tin, stories have gne far as to say
that he never makes a business VEN
ture without first getting some
psychic or mystic to lift the curtains
of the future so that he may peer
through.
And apropos of society's craze for
the occult, there is a certain pictur-
esque Egyptian thought reader and

FAIR PLAY FOR FULTON.

The following broad-guage and
frank editorial from the Oregon Daily
Journal on the subject. Of Heney's
charges against Senator Fulton will be
highly appreciated by every lover of
justice:
Mr.. Fulton is a United. States sem
ator. and is a candidate for re-elec-
tion, says the Journal, He has lived
in oregon since his youth and has
been prominent in the states politics
for many years. He has to depend
this year for his nomination, If not for
his election, on the people, and they
are properly interested in his record,
in all his public acts.
Not only as public man but as
citizen he desires to stand well with
the people, and has a right to resent
any Misrepresentation of his public
life. More than this, II one attacks
him, making serious charges against
him, he is entitled, under the present
made at once in full and with all de-
tails.
Mr.. Heney has made certain
charges against acts of Senator Full
ton performed years ago, the worst
of the specific ones IL years ago.
and has submitted to the public some
evidence which is being considered.
Senator Fulton has in general
terms entered denial, and promises
more specific and detailed denial of
Mr.. Heney's accusations. So far, the
people will have to make up their
minds after Fulton and Heney have
submitted all their evidence and ar
guments.
But it is not fair to Senator Full
ton, at this juncture, this crisis in his
public career, for Mr.. Heney to say
that he has a lot more to tell about
Mr.. Fulton, which he may return
and tell at some future time.
What he knows If anything of inn
portance, should be told fully now.
This is due to the people of Oregon,
who are to decide Mr.. FultOn's case.
1t is due in a more specific sense to
Mr.. Fulton himself, who must leave
his case to the people in the near
future. He is entitled to know the I
worst and the whole Of Mr.. Heney's |
charges against him, not at some fu-
ture time, but now without delay
Unless Mr.. Heney tells all he !
knows, and so admits now. the peo-
pie will have a right to assume that
he has nothing further Of damag-
Ing character to bring against Sena-
tor Fulton. Mr.. Heney's case against
Mr.. Fulton should be fully made up
and submitted at once. This we say,
not as a champion or defender of
Senator Fulton. but simply as a mat
ter OF fair play ]

PARTING.

Parting! That tells it all! If you
who read
Have parted with a dear one, known
indeed
What 'tis to hear the breeze, the bill
lows roar,
The birds, the bees, but whisper "Nev-
ermore!"
To steal away at midnight, not to
sleep.
But brokenly through half the night
to weep
If the first thought that pierces in the
dawn
Is of the sun-gilded mornings past
and gone
If the gold moontide brilllance can
not vile
The heart from dwelling on a van
ished smile
If you have known all this, you have
no need
More than those pregnant syllables to
read
Parting" The word hath wizard s
power to call
Out Of its grave the saddest ghost of
all.

INDUSTRY OF BEES.

When you eat spoonful of honey
you have very little notion as to the
amount of work and travel necessary
to produce II. To make l pound Of
honey bees must deprive $4,000 clov-
er blossoms of their nectar, and to do
this requires 2,750,OO0 visits to the
blossoms by the bees. In other words,
one bee to collect enough nectar to
make l pound OF honey must go from
hive to flower and pack 2,75O, 900
times. Then. when you think how
far these bees sometimes fly in
search of these clover fields. oftener
than not one or two miles from the
hive, you will begin to get a small
idea of the number of miles one Of
the industrious little creatures must
travel in order that you may have
that pound of honey.-St. Louis Re-
