Alright at the head Of the procession,
SO why this plaint from the pews?
What particular part of his religious
creed has become suddenly danger

Taft is cultured. educated, refined,
and broad guage and therefore with
out inquiring further it may be taken
for granted that his religion is all
right.

THE LITTLE THINGS.

1t seems to many that a president
Of the United States is STOPPING from
the mighty tasks of state to a very
unimportant work when he turns from
regulation of railroads, digging can
ais and directing land frauds to the
creation of a reserve for the proteS-
ton of the wild fowl
But it is the multitude of little
tasks. the inconsequential things
which go to make up the work OF
statesmen and nothing is too small
or unimportant to, escape the notice
of a really big man.
over in Harvey, Lake and MalheuI
counties in southern Oregon are hun
dreds of square miles of marshy
swamps. suitable for the breeding
grounds of myraids of wild fowl, and
one of the best things which Presi.
dent Roosevelt has ever done has
been to sign an order making this q
national reserve for the propagation
of these beautiful and useful birds
In those thousands of acres OF
marsh, protected from the hunter
and allowed to multiply in their ma
tural way, will flourish hundreds OF
thousands of beautiful bird speci-
mems. There in the wilds of that
tangled marsh will be seen in a few
years myriads of colors, happy thou
sands Of wild fowl, living and thriv-
ing in their natural state, tame and
unafraid. a tribute to the thoughtful-
ness of one good man, or perhaps a
half a dozen good men who have
been influential in securing this Ore
gon home for the birds of the air
This is one of the little things of a
big government which count for
something in history.

A PLANT FROM THE PEWs.

II man wants to have the X-ray
eye Of the public turned upon his in
most soul. let him run for office. If
he wants to see his anatomy turned
inside out. his hide stretched on a
pole to dry, his secret mind posted
up on the bill boards and his thoughts
flung broadcast from the house tops,
let him get his name on a ticket for
a public office.
Until W. H. Taft became 'candi-
date for president, nobody ever asked
about his religion. In fact nobody
knew or cared whether he had any
religion. It mattered not when he
was a judge on the bench what his
religious belief might have been.
As boss Of the Philippines nobody
demanded TO know what he believed
about the trinity, the hereafter or the
past. All that was asked was, could
he civilize the Filipinos?"
As secretary Of war and joint dig
ger Of the Panama canal his convic'
tions about foreordination, infant
baptism, hell fire or popular amuse'
ments have not been discussed II
public. It was taken for granted
that he knew how to dig canal and
he was allowed to proceed with th'
work undisturbed.
As president Of the United State
he will be guided by the same goo
angels. he will pray to the same grea
God Of all, revere the same principle
Of justice and honor and follow tn
same exact rectitude Of conduct.
II his religion was good enough TO

US. DISPENSATORY
Describes the Principal ingredients
Contained In Pe-ru.nA.

Anew claiming too much for Peruna
when we claim it TO be an effective
remedy for chronic catarrh9 Have we
abundant proOfthat Peruna is in real
ity such a catarrh remedy3 Let us see
what the United States DispenSatOry
says of the principal ingredients of
Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal.
The United States Dispensatory says
of this herbslremedy, that it is largely
employed in the treatment ofdepraved
mucous membranes, chronic rhinitis
nasal catarrhl, atomic dyspepsia (ca-
tarrh of the stomach), chronic intesti-
nal catarrh, catarrhal iaundiCe Cca-
tarrh Of the liver, and in diseased
mucous membranes of the pelvic
organs. 1t is also recommended for
the treatment of various forms of dis
eases peculiar to women.
Another ingredient of Peruna, cory
dalis formosa, IS classed in the United
States Dispensatory as tonic. So also
is cubebs classed as stomachic and as
q tonic for the mucous membranes.
Cedron seeds is another ingredient Of
Peruna, an excellent drug that has
been very largely overlooked by the
medical profession for the past fifty
years. The seeds are to be found in
very few drug stores The United
States Dispensatory says Of the action
of cedrOn that it is used as a bitter
tonic and in the treatment OF dysen-
terry, and in intermittent diseases as
substitute for quinine.
Oil of oOpaiba, another ingredient
of Peruna, is classed by the United
States Dispensatory as a mild stimu-
liant and diuretic. 1tactS on the stom-
ach and intestinal tract 1t acts as
stimulant on the genito-urinary mem
branes. Useful in chronic cyStitis,
chronic dysen:ery and diarrhea, and
some chronic diseases of the liver and
kidneys.
Send to US for a free book of testi-
monials of what the people think Of
Peruna as catarrh remedy, The best
evidence is the testimony of those who
have tried it.

In justice to the city Of Pendleton,
which is one of its best patrons, the
Northwestern Gas & Electric company
should maintain an auxiliary plant in
this city for emergencies like the
present. The city has been without
light and power for almost a week
and it is only justice to the users OF
electricity that some effort be made
by the company to meet such emerg.
encies. Walla Walla has been enjoy
ing a partial electric service. Pen
dleton would be glad to have only a
partial service in times of misfortune,
But she is certainly entitled to as
much as Walla Walla.

WHAT WILL THEY DO WITH 1T?

All the available power and water
sites on both the Umatilla river and
Mckay creek have been located with
in the past 10 days Filings aggre-
eating 10000 inches Of water have
been placed on record on these two
streams.
Now what will they do with these
sites? Are they to be utilized in de-
velopment Of the country or are they
simply to be held as speculations?
viii the country at large be blessed or
cursed by this activity?
VIII the power sites in the hands OF
the locators be Of any more actual
value to humanity than they were In
their natural state7 We shall see.

The seas would devour the mountains
And the stars together crash.
