WHO DID THE KNIFING?

Where H. NJ. Cake, the republican
senatorial candidate failed to carry his
party strength, who should be held re-
sponsible? Should those republicans
who supported him in the primaries
be held accountable for this falling
off Of the republican support? Or
should those who opposed him in the
primaries and who were naturally dis
appointed because their candidate lost
out, be held responsible?
Hereafter, if these republicans who
deserted the party candidate yester
day come up for republican support,
if they should have a candidate in the
field, can they hope or expect to re-
ceive the undivided support of the
party? Have they not set a pace
which will simply kill the republican
party in the state?
The contest before the primaries
was simply a friendly contest between
republicans. It was clean. dignified
and straightforward and no republi-
can who is republican at heart had
a right or cause to be disgruntled. If
he deserted the republican candidate
and went over to the democratic ranks
through spite work, what must he
expect from his party hereafter?

IT Is THE PEOPLES CHOICE.

At the time this editorial is being
written it looks as though Umatilla
county would be carried by the pro-
hibitionists by at least 500 votes.
Whatever the result may be it is the
will of the people and the East Ore
gonian is satisfied.
If the county is carried by the pro-
hibitionists as it looks like 1t has been,
from the incomplete returns, it will be
the duty Of every citizen and espe-
cially every officer, to see that the
law is rlgidly enforced, to see that the
prohibition is not made a failure
through a lax observance Of the law.
The first thing that should be done
by the prohibition forces is to organ
ize, II they have not such an organiza-
ton now, an active executive COM
mittee to cooperate with the officials
to help enforce the prohibition law, to
detect and ferret out the offenders.
A dozen active citizens working on
the quiet, and securing evidence, can
do more in matter of this kind than
the officers, since the officials are
known and are therefore watched
closely by offenders. It is the duty
and should be a part Of the program
Of the prohibition forces to see that
prohibition does prohibit in Umatllla
county. that the law can and will be
observed.
The county will go ahead as rapidly.
or even more rapidly without saloons
as with them. The irrigated lands
will sell as readily, the orchards will
bear as heavily the wheat harvest
will yield as well, the stock industry
will continue to thrive and merchants

WHAT Is NEW THOUGHT?

William E. Towne, one of the edi-
tors of the Nautilus, a new thought
magazine, gives a brief review in the
June number of what New Thought
really means, of what it teaches and
of what it consists and this little SER
mon is worthy Of being reproduced in
the East Oregonian. Mr.. Towne says;
There are some people whose habit
ual mental attitude is such that sue
cess or health or any good thing could
not reach them with 1O-foot pole.
New thought says to these people,
Right about facet Begin to look for
something good in life. Seek and you
shall find. Knock and it shall be
opened unto you. Stop your resistance
and your everlasting rebellion and
eternal kicking.
Remember the experience of Job.

and move and have our being in good? :?
Is not evil a negation of good, and
not a real thing in itself? Then does
1t not logically follow that there can
be no lack in this life principle Of
which we are a part and that all that
can keep us from reasonable share
of health and Joy is our own doubt,
resistance and rebellion?"
Even II you do not believe in the all
pervading principle of good, or II you
believe in a God who is not all good,
all powerful all pervading Gas so
many seem to do) you can yet see the
good results which follow from a
healthy mental attitude. Even the
most materalistic can trace the ben
efits of keeping the mind set towards
the light.

before.
1t will hurt some few men, to be
sure. but did not the abolition of slav-
cry break up thousands OF wealthy
southern families? Was there any ex-
cuse for the continuation of slavery
simply because these people had their
money invested in it? 1t was wrong
and was doomed to go. So with the
liquor business.
Let us make prohibition a success,
Let us enforce the laws. Let us
"cinch" it and keep it "cinched" !"
Umatilla county will never be wet
again. Prohibition has come to stay.

Doing Ones Best .

My untried strength may fail me:
Or, halfway up the mountain peak
Fierce tempests may assail me.
But though that place l never gain,
Herein lies comfort for my pain

Despite my earnest labor
1 may not grasp results that bless
The efforts of my neighbor.
But though, that goal l never see.
This thought shall always dwell with
me

The golden glory of loves light
May never fall upon my way,
Ny path may lead through shaddowed
night,
Like some deserted byway.
But though llfe's dearest joy l miss.
There lies a nameless strength in
this

ARBITRATION AND BATTLEsHIPs

Out of the dust of the conflict for
four big battleships-merely to prove
that We desire peace-comes the news
from Washington that with little dis
cussion and less publicity, the United
States senate has at this session placed
its approval on 81 treaties-more in
number, If not in importance, than
had been ratified during the 20 years
preceding, says the San Francisco
Star.
In making effective so many agree
ments with the nations, international
advancement has been made along
three distinct lines"
Twelve nations have agreed by
treaty with our government to arbi-
trate future disputes, which is taken
to mean nothing less than that the
world has now been established on the
plane Of arbitration.
1t is said that the most important
matter of this kind settled are the
treaties with and legislation in regard
to Japan, and that basis of settle
ment has been arrived at with Great
Britain settling old questions between
the United States and Canada.
Perhaps it is incompatible with the
public interests" for the people of this
country to know the contents of the
arrangements and treaties made with
Japan, for the men at Washington
have a strange way of governing the
people without their consent.
1t is said that several arbitration
treaties have been approved with
Great Britain, Japan, France, Italy,
Spain, Switzerland, Mexico, Portugal,
Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark.
Besides these, IL of the treaties result
ing from The Hague conference were
Inasmuch as treaty with
a foreign power is "the law of the
land" in regard to its subject matter,
it would seem that the people of
republic of alleged self-governing
voters should know what its contents
are.
At any rate, it is to be hoped that
The treaties made with little discus
sion and less publicity |
oy a senate mostly elected and con-
rolled by the interests-are so word |

There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
1t corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for it's wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a medicine

REASON FOR HEAVY WHEELS.

Everywhere in the Old World the
wheels of wagons and carriages are
two or three times as heavy as those
on corresponding vehicles in Amerl-
ca, and so appear clumsy and cum
bersom to us. The explanation of
the difference is that our wheels are
made of hickory, a wood unknown
abroad, which supplies the requisite
strength in smaller mass.-Travel

Laurelville Route 1
EDITOR OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

EDITOR DEMOCRAT-SENTINEL:-
/ started out on Route No. l.,
Laurelville, with head up and full of
enthusiasm. / had purchased me a
new summer hat of the "Merry Wild
ow" effect. In fact it was my Easter
hat, and perfect dream. Weather
very raw and cold. The sun had not
shown itself for three or four days,
and it occurred to me that if | could

hat might attract the sun and it
would bring on good weather, but
alas, l acted adversely.
Well, started out of town and up

whistling like jaybird. ! was just

right to be, for was successful at al
most every home along the route.
BY noon / had got as far as Mary A.
Stump's, where l got my dinner. l
am almost constrained to believe that
they saw me coming and especially
prepared dinner. AT any rate they
had just what wanted, and how l
did eat. The little ones were simply
paralyzed at the sight. They had
often seen people eat with one hand
but when they saw me moving 1t
back with both hands they just stop
ped eating and looked. There was
everything that heart could wish and
plenty of it, and | want to say that l
enjoyed it. After dinner, and after
the little ones had partially recovered
from the shock and were able to say
good bye and wish me success, | start

good success in the afternoon as |

anxious for the DEMoCRAT-SENTINE

I'd receive hearty welcome, and |
did. Not only did Mr.. and Mrs. Bow
ers bid me welcome, but Miss Gladys,
the handsome little two year old
daughter, was just as cordial in her
welcome. She and | were soon fast
friends. We sang songs and played

Some one was asking about our dear
little dove, which has done so much
good in predicting and announcing
weddings in our locality and adjoin-
ing localities, and was always willing
to accompany the bride and groom on
their wedding tour, and sing songs
of peace and happiness, which by its
sweet song would make sunshine and
drive away gloom while sailing on the
sea OF matrimony. We feel proud of
our dove, from the fact that it is an
emblem of love. We recollect that
the Holy Spirit came down in the
form of q dove, when John the bap-
tist was baptising our Savior I'm the
river Jordon. And the words were
announced from heaven "this is my
beloved son, in whom | am well
pleased" We would advise anyone
in buying dove, to select one with a
clear sweet voice, so that the singing
of the dove all along the pathway of
life may happily your hours in sor-
row and grief, and cause sunshine to
illuminate by it's radiance your way
of life, MAUD.

Just One Half Dozen Good
Things That the Rain
Has Done for Us.

1t has cleaned up the sewers,
streets and alleys by hushing them
as no artificial means could do.
The wet, rainy weather has pre-
vented destructive frosts that
would surely have come with the
very cool nights.
The rain and cool weather have
prevented premature budding of
many kinds of vegetation that
might have suffered through un-
timely weather conditions later.
The rain has softened the ground
and stirred up moisture for plant
life that will be of great benefit
later when things are very dry.
Creeks and small streams have
been cleaned out and stagnant
water has been sent swirling and
bubbling to great streams, which
means a better bill of health for
the future.
Last, but not least, it will make
every one appreciate the beautiful
weather when it does come, and il
has carried every one over the
spring-fever period in safety.
