~ MATTER OF RESULTS"

For many years he struggled 'gainst
A fate that was adverse;
Howe'er he tried 10 better things,
They went from bad to worse;
He never went into a deal
But he was surely stuck,
And day and night he rallied against
His beasty, wretched luck!
But suddenly, there came a change
one day at Fortunes whim
A mining stock he'd sunk cash in,
A million yielded him;
And ever since he's prospered and
Has added to his gains,
And now he says luck is myth,
The thing that wins is brains!
It may be and it may be not
That chance determines things.
But it is true that Circumstance
Alters the tune one sings;
He who succeeds is certain that
It's due to brains and pluck,
While he who fails attributes it
To his Internal luck.
Henry Waldorf Francis, in Business
Mans Magazine.

UNITED FOR BRYAN.

The most striking feature of the
present campaign is the fact that the
supporters Of Bryan and his policies
are absolutely united while the re-
publican party is everywhere torn
with factonal strife.
In his former campaigns Bryan
was opposed by a large faction Of his
own party. But his personal strength
and leadership has been such that all
clements of his party are now en-
Enthusiastically for him.
At his recent meeting in Albany,
N Y. Bryan was introduced by
David b. Hill his greatest demo-
cratic rival in 1895, and Mr.. Hill
said
although not connected with
politics, I reiterate that I am heart
lily In favor Of the democratic state
and national tickets. am not so
partisan. however. that would sup
port the party, whether right or
wrong, but permit me to say that 1
support the national ticket in this
campaign because in my judgment the
presidential candidate, who honors
US with his presence here tonight, is
absolutely right upon every contested
question in this campaign. 1t is time
for a change of measures and men,.
Our candidate owes the nomination
not to any one man or set of men,
but only to the people themselves. If
elected, he will be president himself
and not a dummy for any man. He
will not be led around with a string
like a great, big, Gagged bear"
This is the first time in 16 years
that the democratic party has been
absolutely united. At that time II
went into power by landslide. The
stars in the political armament indi-
cate the same result this year.

WHY HE FAILED.

His mind was not trained to grasp
great subjects, to generalize. to make
combinations.
He was not self-reliant, did not de-
pend upon his own judgment; leaned
upon others; and was always seeking
other peoples opinion and advice.
He lacked courage, energy, bold
ness.
He was not resour-esul or Mven'-
i've.
He could not multiply himself in
others.
He did not carry the air of CON
uueror. He did not radiate the pow
er Of a leader.
There was no power back Of his
eye to make men obey him.
He could not handle men.
He antagonized people
He did not believe in himself.
He tried to substitute gall for abil-
ity.
He did not know men.
He could not use other peoples
brains.
He could not project himself ln'o
his lieutenants; he wanted to do
everything himself
He did not inspire confidence IN
others because his faith in himself
was not strong enough.
He communicated his doubts and
his fears to others.
He could not cover up his weak
points.
He did not know that to reveal nis
own weakness was fatal to the conf
dence Of others Success

GETTING INFORMATION.

My Pa, he didn't go to town
Last evening after tea,
But got a book and settled down
As comfy as could be.
tell you, i was offul glad
To have my pa about
To answer all the things l had
Been tryin' to find out.
And so I asked him why the world
Is round, instead of square,
And why the piggies' tails are curled
And why don't fish breathe air?'
And why the moon don't hit star,
And why the dark is black.
And just how many birds there are
And VIII the wind come back?
And why does water stay in wells,
And why do June bugs hum,
And what's the roar hear in shells
And when will Christmas come?
And why the grass is always green, ,
Instead of sometimes blue,
And why a bean will grow a bean,
And not an apple, too?
And why a horse can't learn to moo,
And why a COW can't neigh? ?
And do the fairies live on dew. -
And what makes hair grow gray
And then my pa got up an gee!

THE MAIN ISSUE.

Though many things enter into the
presidential campaign the great vital
issue Of the contest is summed up in
the slogan. shall the people rule?'
Though the United states is de-
mocracy. real free government does
not now obtain. Within the past de-
cade powerful financial interests have
practically dominated the govern
ment of the United States and it has
been turned from a republic into an
oligarchy
This is a truth that is freely ad-
mitted between presidential cam
paigns. Never is a session Of con-
gress held but that it is convincingly
shown that this government is being
run BY the few at the expense of the
many.
During the past few years Presi-
dent Roosevelt has seen this condition
and he has hurled many denunciatory
messages at the predatory rich" But
ne IS harmless because his party Is
rot behind him in the matter 1t was
through the big republican leaders,
such as senator Aldrich, that the Oh
igarchy was established. These men
still control the republican party.
They wrote the republican platform
and they named the vice-presidential
candidate. In the nomination Of Taft
they acqulesced because they know
that if elected he can do no more
harm to them than Roosevelt has
done and he will not rail so much
about It.
II is largely through the United
states senate thu. the interests are
enabled to rule. They control the
senate because under the present sys-
tenn Of electing senator's, seats in the
United states senate may be pur-
chased and are purchased. The' men
in charge know that the direct cleo
ton Of senators means the ultimate
overthrow Of their oligarchy and the
return Of popular government
This is why the direct election Of
--.,-g t- IN 'ssue in the presidential
campaign anG a vital one. The re-
publican convention turned down, by
an overwhelming vote plank call
ing for this reform The democratic
platform declares strongly for it.
The democratic party has been free
TO do what lg right
The average republican may not
know it. but at the present time his
party is tied hand and foot by special
interests that have been using it as
means TO accomplish selfish ends.
Had the democratic party been in
power continuously it would probably
be I'M the same fix and would deserve
reputation by the people as does the
republican party at this time.
In the present campaign the great
vital issue between the two parties Il
n plain as day from night II Is
whether the United states govern
rnent shall be run by the people of
the country in the interests Of all or
left as II is now an oligarchy OF
wealth and special privilege.

INDEPENDENCE.

Because the East Oregonian has
been advocating the election of Bry-
ar there are some who charge it with
breaking its rule of independence.
The charge is unwarranted and this
the people will find out soon enough.
Journalistic independence does not
mean that paper must refrain from
taking sides in a political contest. 1t
Is natural and right for a paper to
show preferences and urge its own
belief upon its readers.
No real newspaper can be wholly
without political faith. In a general
way the East Oregonian believes in
that party or element Of society that
is for political reform and advance
ment. In the present campaign the
democratic party is clearly the party
of reform and political progress.
But the democratic party has not a
single string upon this paper. It has
urged the election of Bryan from its
own free choice, ni,noul ,he advice
OF anyone and without hope of re-
ward. It has never seen even the
outside Of a campaign sack and
doesn't want to. It's influence mas
never been for sale and never will be.
The East Oregonian is an Independent
newspaper.
As to the political course of this
paper after the present campaign Is
over the paper has no pledge to make
excepting that it will continue to
work for what seems to be the pub
lie good. The East Oregonlan is
owned body and soul by those who
run it. It has no purpose in life
other than to he a good newspaper
and to serve the people within its
field.
The people will find this out if
they don't believe it now.

Pear Tress From Cutting.

Every person can easily grow his

them into eight-inch lengths, leaving
three or four buds on each cutting
Tie them in bundles OF 100 each and
put them in kilns as you would pc

Cover them so they will not freeze

In the spring as soon as the ground
will do to work, plant them out IN

The country life has always been
pictm ed as a strenuous one, but Boil.
ton Hall, a writer for the Circle,
describes it as an ideal place to live
the simple, unostentatious life worth
living, the happiest and more care
free of all. He says in part:
The simple life does not consist in
becoming careless and slouchy, or
wearing unbecoming hats, or in alien
ating the affections of ones spouse
by making ones self drudge.
1t consists in natural social SUR
roundings, suited to cultivated tastes,
where parents and children can live
instead of merely making living.
The simple country life means a
material reduction in the cost Of
living,
The home itself can be less preten-
tious and more commodious.
The modern American bungalow
gives the maximum Of comfort and
dignity at the minimum OF expense,
and is rapidly taking the place Of the
ordinary suburban or country home.
Esthetically, the country means
stretches of field, meadow, and wood
land, liquid bird-notes, filmy gossamer
webs in the morning, cooling dews m
the evenings, the perfHmed breath
of the blossoms and fruit, all oppor-
tunity to get near to natures heart.

Cuticura Ointment, and that night /
stripped my little boy and took the

washed him well. Then / dried him
with a soft bath towel, and took the
Cutcura Ointment and rubbed him
thoroughly with it. l did this every

There are a large number OF treat7

as they contain morphine, opium, CO.

drugs, and such treatments never

MANINE is the only remedy or
medicine in the whole wide world to-
day that positively will cure that d.
seased condition Of the nerve system
caused BY the use Of morphine, lau-
danum or opium. The new discovery
MANlflE is not a substitute, but is an
honest remedy and cure, and does
not contain any morehine, opium, CO.
caine or other injurious habit-lorming
drug.

treatments but found MANINE to be
the only cure, 1t removes the cause
