Hope For All.


Advising the tlmid man as to the
way to proceed on the threshold of
Leap Year, a current magazine gives
the following hints on how to say mo"
to a woman:
Courage and firmness are the
first requisites. For the courageous
man, in full POSSESSION of all his fac
ulties, 1t might do to hesitate and
evade the question, and thus delay
the matter until Leap Year is over
But for the timid man such rule
will never apply. He must come
right out and say no. without any
hesitancy at all. Don't think of the
consequences. Don't think at all.
Just say no. and then jump out of
the window or by other means get
away from the scene as quickly as
possible and leave the town, Go
somewhere else, begin life all over
again, and make il rule to take a
years vacation every Leap Year
thereafter and spend the time at some
hunting-resort or mining camp where
no females can be found.
For the urageous man, the man
who has nearly as much nerve as a
woman, different policy may be pur-
sLed. If the girl is not too persist
ent-if she lives somewhere else than
ia Boston or the Twin Cities or Chi
oago-he may be able to avoid the
marriage and at the same time not
come right out and say mo-
"No better direction can be given
to this man than to employ the tactics
used by women. Say Il will be a
brother or This is so sudden, or.
better still, tell the girl that you had
intended proposing yourself, that you
object TO Leap Year proposals and ask
her to wait until next year, when you
will have another chance to propose.
Tell her anything. Don't mind a lit
tie white lie; resort to any kind OF
scheme or device. but avoid the mar
rlage. Be very careful to word your
utterances so as to not become in
volved in a breach of promise suit,
however. for here is another grave
danger of Leap Year. II may cost
you large sum of money, or 1t may
cost you your life.
"Never think of suicide until all
other expedients have been resorted
to. And remember Leap Year is but
one day longer than any other year"

HALF OF MISSOURI DRY"

Adair county, Missouri, went dry
last week about two to one. Only
one precinct went "wet" Eight sa-
looms were put out of business; No
vinger five, Coffeyville two and
Stahl one.
Liberty and Excelsior Springs, voted
on prohibition and went "dry' by
31S majority. The liquor element
made a hard fight to win and car
ried the other four townships by big
majorities. In one township, Wash
ington there were only 10 liquor
votes. Liberty voted dry to l sew
eral weeks ago. Excelsior Springs
has not voted on the question and no
move has been made in the direction.
Saturdays vote means the closing
of four saloons. Two of these are
in Harlem, just across the river from
Kansas City, one in Smithville and
one in Randolph. 1t was that por-
tion of the county that gave the
heaviest liquor vote. There were l.
SS6 votes cast against saloons and l.
06S in their favor

ing from the old to the new order
The open range of the west has made
the stockman a king and a dictator
in the past. 1t is difficult for many
OF them to surrender all their old
time rights" at zone fell swoop.''
but the change is coming and the
stockmen cannot afford to raise
funds to delay progress.
Let us make the best of the change.
Let us welcome progress as cheer
fully as We can and adjust our af-
fairs to the new order with the least
possible friction.
A fund to fight any proposition
means corruption and people will at
once ask, What are you going to do
with it? How are you going to spend
it? Who is going to get 1t? What
are the purposes of the fund?
The stockmen cannot afford to
have these questions asked. Let us
help adjust the forestry administra-
tion and make 1t as easy as possible
on everybody interested, but let us
not attempt to overthrow 1t or any
feature of it.

SIMPLE HEALTH RULES.

The East Oregonian is neither re-
Hgious weekly nor a health journal,
but II is forced to note occasionally
the excellent progress being made in
the thought of the world. In religion,
medicine and other subjects there is a
wonderful forward movement today.
People are thinking and acting upon
their thought as never before, and
they are getting marvellous returns
from it,
One of the simplest health formu-
las that has come under this papers
notice recently is from a new thought
magazine and is as follows: "As
often as you think of it during the
day. take a few sips of cold water
thinking each time as you do sO HOW
much sweet. pure water is there in
the world; how good it is and what
healing forces 1t possesses; how it
cleanses and purifies and strengthens
the body and mind of man.
"And as often as you can during
each day go out into the open air and
breathe deeply and slowly for few
moments, thinking as you do so how
much pure air there is in the world
for you; how 1t strengthens and
blesses life and how 1t vitalizes us
and makes us broad and strong and
noble. Throw back the shoulders and
draw the fresh air to the fartherest
limit of your lung power and think
and hope for health and strength as
you do So" We always receive what
we invite.
The same journal says that many
people actually starve to death for
lack Of water. Others simply perish
in offices and closed dwellings for
want of fresh air. Plenty of water
and good air are the foundations of
health. This being so is it not
worldwide shame to see much illness
and disease, early death, dwarfed
lives and unhappy environments?
Many honest and conscientious
men believe that 1t is a crime to be
lazy; to refuse to perform manual
labor. Is 1t not a worse crime then,
not to use the mind which is greater
than the hand? Let us think more
and worry less; let us try to recog-
nize the fact that the greatest guide,
the greatest physician, the greatest
savior Of man is found within his
own forces.

SARCASM ON SCHOOLS.

In a sarcastic editorial on the
filming of Willie Hoskins of Echo for
whipping his school teacher, the SUM-
day Oregonian took occasion to roast
the public school system in quiet,
but forcible manner
The Oregonian says: Except in
remote places like Echo, there are
no big boys on the benches in the
public schools during the winter
term. Much more are they absent in
the summer.
school has nothing to give them
which they think worth while so they
find job in the city or hire out to
work for a neighbor. THE DISTRICT
SCHOOL PARTED COMPANY
WITH LIFE LONG AGO. But by the
separation it has gained in peaceful
ness. The brain and muscle of a
man are no longer needed to govern
it. But it has lost in usefulness and
power.
when the schools begin to offer
a substantial education instead Of
shadows and chimeras the big boys
will come back again for the winter
term and perhaps for the summer,
too. There will be no more incidents
like the insurrection of Willie Hos
kins and we shall have to hire men
of muscle for teachers instead of
golden haired maidens with fairy
forms"
The East Oregonian objects to Echo
being called a remote place" No
town in Oregon is more. accessible
or better known than Echo, and no
place in oregon can boast of larger
proportion of good people than this
little metropolis of the irrigated belt.
The East Oregonian further objects
to the Sunday Oregonians estimate
of the public schools. The statement
Of the Oregonian to the effect that
''man of muscle" is needed to teach
school savors of the animal stage
from which man long ago evoluted.
Brain and intellect and not muscle
should rule today. 1t is only the
non-progressive thought of men who
cannot get out Of the animal stage
that makes muscle necessary to teach
ing.
II parents and citizens will set the
example that intellect is supreme the
need of muscle in school teaching
will soon vanish. 1t is the suggestion
of parents and teachers that boys are
bad that usually makes them bad.
If we can climb above the thought
of animalism and brute force in
schools, business life and social rela-
tions, the golden haired maidens can
teach as well as physical giants.

While the East Oregonian deeply
regrets the defeat of the Pendleton
high school debating team at Enter
prise on Saturday night, yet it can
readily understand the secret of the
defeat. The Pendleton team was well
equipped for the debate; it had been
ably drilled; it had gathered volumes
OF excellent statistics; it had rehears-
ed its arguments and fortified itself
at every possible point, but the sem
timent of the present day was against
Pendleton. She had the negative side
of the question, Resolved, That the
government should own and operate
the railroads" The world thought is
sweeping on in favor of government
ownership and has evidently reached
the recesses of Wallowa county from
which the judges were selected.

WORLDS GREATEST WONDER

A question which travellers often
ask each other In various parts OF
the world is: what is really the
greatest natural wonder on earth?" II
is easy to answer now since the stu
pendous falls of the Zambesi river
have been discovered. David Living
ston called the main fall "the most
wonderful sight I had visited in At
rica." And when one imagines the
spectacle of one Of the worlds might
lest rivers, two miles wide. falling
sheer 42O feet, 1t is not hard to agree
with one of the greatest travellers that
ever lived Our own Niagara is only
half mile wide and 1853 feet high,
so that it figures as a mere cascade
in comparison.

There are peculiar problems to be
met in that section, where the entire
section is devoted to irrigation, which
make it almost necessary to have a
county commissioner on the board
who is not only thorough irriga-
zionist, but also who will be able to
intellgently present the needs of an
irrigated district such as that is COM
ing to be.
Roadmaklngs bridge building and
other public improvements must have
special treatment in that sandy dis
trict. The same rules which may ap-
ply to the wheat belt where homes
are few and far between, will not
apply to the irrigated districts where
land is high, holdings small and soil
conditions different.
The west end should have a man
on the board constantly hereafter.

CLAIMS OF THE WEST END.

The East Oregonian some time ago
received a communication from the
west end of Umatilla county setting
forth the claims Of that end of the
county in the coming county election.
Had the communication been sign
ed by the author 1t would have been
published, but 1t is an invariable rule
not to publish any letter or commune
cation, of any nature whatsoever, un-
less the author is known to the pa
per and for this reason the commu-
nication which really expressed some
pertinent facts. found its way into the
furnace room in the East Oregonian
building and contributed its share of
heat to the editorial offices when its
eloquence might have been applied
otherwise.
The communication. asked for the
selection of county commissioner
from the west end Of the county this
year to represent that growing and
progressive section, and the claim is
just and valid.
With the settlement of the Umatilla
irrigation project the west end Of
Umatilla county is going to assume
much more importance in county af-
fairs than heretofore. That section
Of the county has always been rich
and prosperous and progressive and
has contributed very largely to the
expense Of the county and now this
will be especially true.
1t is only fair that the west end
be represented in the county court.
