DEFENDING" MIR. ELLIS.

The defense of Congressman
Ellis by the Pendleton Tribune this
morning was a thinly disguised thrust
at eastern oregon's congressman,
The Tribune quotes a paragraph from
the oregon Daily Journal, the demo-
cratic opponent of the Tribune in
everything. censuring Congressman
Ellis for neglecting the Cello canal
and the opening of the Columbia
river, and for securing pension in
creases for deserving veterans Of the
civil war.
This far-fetched factional and par
tisan thrust at Congressman Ellis is
ill-timed and in extremely bad taste,
especially on part of Mr. Geer. The
friends of Congressman Ellis will be
justified in asking what Mr.. Geer did
as governor of Oregon? What right
has he to question anybody's motives
in congress or elsewhere? Upon
what grounds can he repeat the dem
ocratic Journals impertinent query,
as to what Congressman Ellis is do
ing for oregon rivers?
Let us be honest and admit the
fact that one congressman does not
make congress; neither can one con-
gresham or a dozen congressman se5
cure needed legislation, no matter
how urgent it may seem locally.
Mr.. Ellis is doing everything for
Oregon rivers that any one congress
man could do, He is devoting his
time to the subject, comforting with
other members in the effort to bring
about their cooperation and while
doing this, is also giving his atten-
ton to the deserving veterans of Or
egon.
II he secures pension increases for
these old soldiers, and yet does not
succeed in securing the passage Of
the river and harbor bill, will that be
any ground for censuring Congress
man Ellis? Have not congressman
spent session after session in Wash
ington without even securing as much
as a pens on increase? Would Geer
do more?
What did he do as governor to set
the state on fire?" What evidence
have we that he would "set congress
on fire?" In what particular would
he excel or equal. for that matter.
w. r. Ellis, as a lawmaker and a de-
fender of Oregon's rights?
Let us be candid and fight in the
open.

THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY"

Edmund Clarence Stedman's own
poem, "The Undiscovered Country,
was sung at his funeral. This is the
poem:
Could we but know
The land that ends our dark. uncer-
tain travel,
Where lie those happier rills and
meadows low
All, If beyond the spirits inmost cayil
Aught of that country could we
surely know,
Who would not go?
Might we but hear
The lowering angels high imagined
chorus,
Or catch. betimes, with wakeful
eyes and clear,
One radiant vista of the realm before
All. who would fear?
Were we quite sure
To find the peerless friend who left
us lonely,
Or, there by some celestial stream
as pure,
To gaze in eyes that here were lovelit
only,
This weary, mortal coil, were we
quite sure,
Who would endure?

GUIDE BOARDS.

During the revival meetings now in
session in this city dozens of excel
lent sermons have been listened to by
large numbers Of Pendleton people
and although in many of these meet
ings no one made a public announce.
ment OF their new start in life, yet
IL is safe to say that secretly every
one who has listened to the sermon:
has received untold mental and spir-
itual benefits.
They have been given Illustrations
examples of higher planes of thought
and action and have been inspired
with a desire to get out of the ruts
into which humanity inevitably drifts
il it receives no stimulus to climb up
ward.
One Of the most inspiring themes
OF the sermon has been the life and
character of the Bible personages,
those magnificent old guide boards
standing along the human pathway.
Although in their day and time
they have been but ins gnificant per-
sonages yet the record Of their lives
has entered largely into shaping hu-
man progress.
n some age in the far future, pres
ent day characters will offer to COM
ing generations a like inspiration.
We do not recognize the good in our
immediate surroundings We must
seek examples from afar.
Life is filled with superb ilustra-
tons OF goodness and spirituality if
we could but grasp them. Every
man is walking picture book, val
ume Of history, bundle of sermon
themes II we could but see these
phases OF life. The trouble is that
we look at the physical being, the
business enterprise. the natural, ami
NAL characteristics and overlook the
soul forces and inner motives of men.
Umatilla county is full Of as splen-
did old patriarchs as ever trod the
sands Of Palestine. il We could but
grasp the meaning and true signifi-
canoe Of their lives.
A greater Bible than the present
book could be written with Oregon
as a background ana Oregon pioneer
mothers and fathers as characters.
But We cannot see these splendid ma
lures IN our own surroundings. We
must look afar We must seek in
spiration in mystery Plain, every
day facts and truths are not suffic-
lent.

a HINT FROM FRANCE.

To waste is not a part Of French
mans nature, says correspondent
in the Travel Magazine.
When spending several months in
Paris recently in French family,
l was struck by the fact that 1 never
saw any garbage collectors. l asked
Madame de ", with whom was
staying, to explain this. She said,
we have no garbage, we utilize
everything that can possibly be used.
and such things as egg shells, ETC.,
we burn. We have no need of gar
bage collectors" l could not but
wonder what the French would say
of our ugly cans ,heaped with filthy
garbage in most of our cities and
towns waiting on the sidewalk each
morning for collection and removal.

WOMEN NEVER SURRENDER.

One good woman is an epitome OF
all the good women of the earth. II
you know and understand the life
and thought of one strong woman
you know them all, Notwithstanding
the old saw that you never become
fully acquainted with your wife.
When you recall the long-suffering,
patience and self-sacrifice OF. one
woman whom you have known and
loved; when you remember the su-
preme self-denial, forgiveness and
eternal hope OF your mother, your
wife or your sister, you have a mental
picture of the soul of womankind.
1t Is not strange that oregon wo-
men should say that If they fail to
pass the equal suffrage amendment
In 1908 that they will try again In
1910; that If they fail in 1910 they
will try again in 1912 and so on with
out ending.
Women never surrender. The word
fail is unknown to them. They can
hope against every imaginable obsta-
Gle, every gloomy prospect. Time
cannot quench nor failure diminish
their buoyant expectancy; man can
not suppress for long their world
moving spirit Of progress.

TREAT ALL PAPERS ALIKE.

After passing an ordinance that all
municipal advertising be let out by
contract to the lowest bidder and
that such advertising should be con-
fined to daily newspapers. the city
council of Springfield, Mass, last
week rescinded its order and will re-
turn to the old system of giving ad-
vertising to all the papers. The
press of Springfield devoted consid-
cradle editorial space to the question

paper should have city advertising

should have 1t, as all of the people do

will await with intense interest his
account of the west, Upon his rec
ommendation, they will come.
So with every new settler who ac-
tually comes to Umatilla county,
dozens of prospective settlers viii
have been placed within our reach,
This opens up an immense field for
activity on part OF the associat on and
business men. 1t places US in direct
touch with hundreds of good people
whom we need in our work of devel-
oping the west and who will come on
proper solicitation and showing.
Then let us make this the banner

Let us put the stamp of Pendleton
Commercial association on every
good movement in Pendleton and
Umatilla county. Let us initiate and
push forward everything that sug
gests itself for local development.
Let the association be the one pre-
dominating symbol of activity at all
times, on every occasion.
There are more than a hundred
good men in the business enterprises
of the city who are not now members,
Personal pride in their town should
actuate these to join at once and
share the burdens and the triumphs
of the associations progress.

Moving day in Venice is quite a
different affair from ours There are
naturally no trucks or carts used and
no over-strained horses and tired
drivers seen. But the Venetians do
move. Their moving vehicles are the

To-day we want to talk to
you about "Catarrh cures"

During the past few months we have
been publishing what some of our good
friends have called "hcart-to-hcart talks"
on patent medicines.
That name suits It's all right-"icart-
to-hcart talks is just what we have
intended. There can't be ANYTHING more
serious to a sick man or SILK woman
than his ailmcnt and the remedies he or
she takes to cure it.
Our talks have been "l~,cart-to-hcart."
Every word VIC have printed has been
written in absolute carncstncss and sin
cerity, and Judging from what orr Gus
toners tell us, we have not been talking
in vain. We are convinced that our
frankncss has been appreciated. and that
our suggestions have been welcomed
which naturally encourages us 10 con-
tinuc.
To-day. and perhaps for some time 10
come, we want to- talk about that big
class OF remedies known generally as
"~catarrh cures"
Broadly speaking these arc the patent
medicines that have been the ch;cf tar
gets for the attacks Of the 81 Ladies'
Home Journal" Golfers Weekly and
other magazines which are waging such
a lively warfare against patent medicine
abuses.
As we have pointed out in previous
talks. it is not our business to pass judy
ment on the crusade OF these we'll
known. highly-rcspcctcd publications.
The public alone must be the Judge and
jury. Our business. as we see it. is 10
carry in stock a complete line 81 Datcnt
medicines, and TO sell those medicines at
the lowest possible price.
We sell hundreds yes. thousands OF
bottles Of so-callcd "~Catarrh cures and
know nothing Of their INGREDIENTS. The
manufacturers advertise them. the public
demands them; we order them from the
manufacturers. and sell them ut the low
est price. That is absolutely rs far AS
our knowledge goes. The manufacturer
keeps his formula a secret, 1t may be
good. or it may not-we don't know, and
we have no means OF finding out.
Naturally, we would rather sell a rem
