THE LIBRARY.

At the assembly last evening Miss
Marvin, secretary of the library COM
mission, held that public libraries,
such as Pendleton has, should be sup
ported by taxation. She declared no
library could be successfully and per-
manently maintained in any other
way.
In this the East Oregonian agrees
with Miss Marvin. The majority of
local people will doubtless do like
wise. A public library is a necessity
not a luxury. 1t is part of the ed
ucational system. 1t is a very valu-
able part. 1t takes up educational
work where the schools leave it off. 1t
furnishes the post graduate course.
There are many who say that without
proper library facilities much of the
school work is lost.
This being the case, why should not
public library be supported by taxa
ton? Why should library have to
lead a precarious life, dependent upon
the liberality of individual citizens?
But this advice is for the future,
not for the immediate present. Just
now the library must be financed
through public support and the ladies
of the city are in charge of a move
ment to raise enough money to get the
library properly started in its new
quarters.
For the work they are doing and
for the splendid entertainment they
provided last evening the ladies rich
ly deserve congratulation. They are
doing most mer;torious work and
they are waging the campaign along
good broad lines that assure success.
Let everybody aid in securing funds
with which to equip the new library
rooms. Then let public sentiment in
sist that the city government main
tain the library in the future and that
it be given all the money that it just
ly needs.

A CONVENIENT STONE.

a well-known novelist wa1 touring
through Lancashire in order to learn
ants. when he came upon an old man
breaking stones on the roadside. and
thinking he might gain some knowl>
edge from him, addressed him thus:
How far is it to Fleetwood. my
man."

on" was the gruff reply.
What the use if l can't read?"
said the novelist, eager to draw the
old man into conversation.
Then it'll just suit you, for there's

should statement men go back upon
their pledges they will bring upon
themselves the contempt and scorn of
the honest people of the state. If
they betray the trust that was placed
in them. these men will be marked
for life, They will be known as politi-
cal prostitutes as men who regard
their sacred oaths of honor as some
thing to be be bargained over and sold
as merchandise.
Do the statement men want any of
this-do they want to go down into
the gutter and have their names be-
come by-words of reproach and
shame? If they do not then let them
keep their pledges

THE HOUSE OF LIFE.

All wondering and eager-eyed, within
her portico
I made my plea to Hostess Life one
morning long ago.
Pray show me this great house or
thine, nor close a single door,
But let me wander where I will and
climb from floor to floor.
For many rooms and curious things
and treasures great and small,
Here in this spacious mansion lie, and
would see them ALL"
Then Hostess Life turned silently. her
searching gaze on me,
And with no word she reached hes
hand and offered up the key,
1t opened first the door of Hope, and
long 1 fingered there;
Until I spied the Room of Dreams.
just higher by stair.
And then a door, whereon the ono
word Happiness" was writ;
But when I tried the little key Gould
not make it fit.
Il turned the lock of Pleasures room,
wherin all seemed so bright;
But after | had stayed while il
somehow lost its light.
And wandering down lonely hall
came upon a room
Marked Duty" and l entered it, to
lose myself in gloom.
Along the shadowy walls l groped my
weary way about,
And found that from dull Dutys room
the door of Toll led out.

WHO WILL GET 1T?

Pendleton is by nature a good To-
cation for wooden mill. This is the
wool city Of oregon as we'll as the
wheat city. This year more wool
was shipped from Pendleton than
from any other town in the state.
Here is where the woolbuyers have
their headquarters during the buying
season; here the state sheep commits
sion has its office and here the Off
GERS of the state woolgrowers associa-
tion abide.
and it is going to keep it. Surely the
local plant will not be taken away,
now that so much interest has been
aroused in the subject. The mill will
be retained and it will be run-by
someone.
In the past it has been claimed that
labor was more expensive here than
in other sections and that the price
Of power handicapped the mill.
But the cost of labor is something
that may be regulated by the mill
management. Surely operators will
work as cheaply here as elsewhere. In
the past they have been given more
money because they have never been
given steady employment. Employees
of the mill have never known how
long their jobs would last.
AS to power, the manager of the
electric company declares it may be
had here at the same price as in
Portland And power will doubtless
become cheaper. There are several
new power companies now. organized.
within a few years Pendleton should
have ample power at the lowest pos
sible rates.
Since these things are true, why may
not the mill be made into continu-
ously operated, well paying industry?
The East Oregonian believes the mill
can be made to pay and that it is
going to be taken soon by someone.
Who will get It?

INHERITANCE.

What If the Argive kings are dust,
Dead they who fought for Helen's
kiss,
And centuries Of salt encrust
The curled bulks Of Salamis?
Still from each deed on land or main
Worthy to win hero's wage,
The dauntless spirit flames again,
Sprung Of that Grecian heritage.
What II the columns broken lie
That once Mycenae's walls upbore.
And open now to wind and sky
The temples on each vlne-clad
shore?
Yet In those spring swept Attic ways.
On every ruin crowned hill,
Bred OF thOse golden yesterdays
The soul Of beauty fingers still.

THE LAW OF LOVE.

In my wild youth I sought the shrine
of Love.
With sighs and tears and sore dis
tress,
I prayed her to be mine, and me
above
All else to serve and bless;
But Love sat blind and deaf, with a
slow smile,
Whose meaning left me more per-
picked
Than some sad painter who has
dreamed long while
Ger Monna Lisas vexed.
When years had made me learned in
heart lore,
And touched my soul with warmth
divine,
And it was noon of life, came once
more
Unto that ancient shrine.
But prayed another prayer. The help
less throngs
Who tread all day the weary street
CIltO OUT 10 me W Il6ul lHti hNiShty
wrongs,
And guide their stumbling feet.
And ere my prayer was made, with
very grace
OF grace, Love stepped from her
high throne,
And where there had been sadness in
her face
A sudden glory shone.
And this to me she spoke with gentle
sound:
"'Tis thus in Loves realm all must
fare;
The thing we give away is soonest
found; -" yaIMI
We keep but what we share"
Katherine Quinn.

Last night the case of Abe Ruef
was given to the jury. Seemingly
there has been a quickening about the
case since the attempted assassination
of Heney. Prior to that time IT was
about all they could do to get jury.
The public sentiment of San Fran

it has been forthcoming.
