This history shows that Candi-

Noble Spaniard, born in Chi.
hauhau, Mexico, and educated in
Texas, is either ignorant OF facts
or willfully makes statements that
are not borne nj 10y facts. This
record also shows that since 1860,
and indeed since the beginning OF
the territory, there has been no
discrimination whatever by the re-
publican party in power as be.

grated her, and those OF American
citizens who were born here.
During the entire history OF the
territory up to 1909 the important
Office OF territorial auditor and

Gems Of Spanish descent, and many
OF the territorial Offices since then
and before were held by natives in
the same way. Race prejudice in

THE DESERT IN DEMAND.

II you do not believe that the
Umatilla county desert is rapidly dis
appearing. watch the land office and
abstract office records. II you do not
believe that people have faith in the
'agebrush districts, just keep your
Ginger on the real estate pulse for a
few days and be convinced.
For the past week an average Of
about 10 claims per day have been
located in the Hermiston district,
through the La Grande land office
and within the same time a number
of tracts of arid land under the Hin
kle ditch adjoining the government
irrigation project have been purchas-
ed by actual homeseekers, home
builders.
All OF this is forbidding. ard, sage
brush land and without water is alb
5olutely useless. but with water is
filled with promises and untold
wealth.
Within a short time there will be
no desert left in Umatilla county.
The transformation is so rapid that
it will have been wiped off the map
before We are aware.

LAWSON AND THE PEOPLE.

Thomas w. Lawson has published
in "Everybody's Magazine" state
ment showing why he abandoned
what he calls "his fight for the peo-
pie"
His article is in the form of a let
ter addressed to E. j. Ridgeway,
proprietor of the magazine. Extracts
from the Lawson letter follow: "You
talk of what owe the people. What
do | owe TO the gelatine-spined
shrmps? What have the saffron
blooded apes done for me or min,
that l should halt any decisions to
match their lightning-change. ten

ing that needing its every appearance

caparisoned marionettes whose bold
fronting of mirrorshields and savage
circling of candy swords. make me al
most die a-laughing. Forgive me,
my dear Ridgeway. but the people,
particularly the American people, are
a joke--a system joke"
Lawson tells of the beginning of his
fight and declares that the people
would give him no help although he
was fighting for them. He says that
they simply stood by and grinned."

A little boy went to bed shudder-
ingly, and covering up his head
cried bitterly for fear that satan. a
great big, black something, would
carry him off and eat him up alive
or cast him into a dungeon for his
alleged sins.
Sins? Great heavens, child, what
have you ever done? How have you
s.nned? What wrong have you done,
you merry, light-hearted, buoyant
elf?
What have you done to be thus
shuddering with fear? Why should
your heart be filled with foreboding
and terror? Why not go to sleep
without a pang and sleep until day
light calls you with the birds and
bees and morning breezes? What
dark crime have you committed that
your life should be shadowed with
fear and your mind filled with grew
some pictures?
This fear will cling to you; it will
be impossible to shake it off, dear;
so don't let it come upon you. You
have done nothing; you are innocent;
YOU have done nothing for which to
be afraid; you have no reason to
fear the dark; there is great, low
ing God about you, in the darkness
and in the daylight. You know
nothing Of sin or of the world; you
are not responsible; you are not guilty
Of anything; so do not fear; be good
and kind and loving and true but do
not be afraid.
Let those whose hands are stained
with the touch OF the world do the
shuddering. Let those who feel the
need of punishment. tremble and
imagine things in the darkness.
YOU are innocent, child. There is
nothing to harm you.

Or you, whose clumsy hand So rudel,

The veil from my divinity.
Was l not happier far when kneellnp

Before that self made god of mine
Than when you swept the flowered
altar bare
And left me with an empty shrine
What though my idols feet were
wholly clay
Might not my faith have turned
them gold,
As when the pallid east by full flush
ed day
Is changed to glories manifold?
Yea: hate is mine, but chiefly for this

AN IRIsHMAN's REToRT.

An Irlshman one day went into a
barber shop to be shaved. After he
was seated and the lather about half
applied the barber was called to an
adjoining room, where he was detain-
ed for. some time. The barber had in
the shop a pet monkey which was
continually initiating his master. As
soon as the latter left the room, the
monqey grabbed the brush and pro-
ceeded to finish lathering the Irish
mans face. After doing this he took
a razor from its case and stropped
It and then turned to the Irishman
to shave him. "Sthop that" said the
latter. firmly "Ye can tuck the tow
ell in me neck and put the soap on me
face. but. begorrah. yer fathers got
to shave me."-Tattler.

IN DEFENSE OF FORESTRY

The Boise Capital News. one of the
best papers in the inland empire, 4:
bitterly opposed to the forestry pol
icy Of the government on the alleged
grounds that this policy is detrimen-
tai to the interests Of Idaho.
Does not the Capital News look
forward to future for Idaho? Does
it consider today and today's inter-
ests as being supreme over the inter-
ests OF all future generations? Would
ir permit the depletion. In fact the
destruction OF all the magnificent
forests Of Idaho by the present gi-
gantic syndicates who are cornering
all the timber land?
Would il not be saving something
for the next generatlon7 Would 1t

sNA 40 Ncil d. VI tOudE nOulu IL
not protect the rights Of the mass Of
the people Of Idaho from the selfish
ness OF the corporations which seek
10 monopolize the states richest and
most precious properties?
Here is what the Capital News says
Of the forestry and range policy Of
the government. a statement which
The East Oregonian sincerely believes
the Boise paper will live to regret:
"In the first place the forest reserve
pOiicy as Administered is wrong in
principle; in the second place, 1t is
wrong in its application. and in the
third place. II works an injury to
nearly every industry of the state.
at is wrong in principle because
It is conducted without law and
places the people at the mercy OF an
irresponsible bureau in the selection
of whose offices the people have
had no choice. It is wrong
in its application because in
competent, uniformed. political

tions of grave responsibility to be-
come accusers, prosecutors court,
jury and execut,oners over citizens
and over industries OF which they
know nothing about,
cit does an injury to every indus
try Of the state by withdrawing from
this state great natural resources
that every other state previous to the
present time has enjoyed without
charge freely and without restric-
tion, and 1t imposes burdensome
tax upon people here In addition to
withdrawing these free natural re-
sources, thus imposing a double bur-
den upon the building up Of COM
monwealth in this new country; 1t
retards settlers, discourages miners
and prospectors, increases the price,
not only Of timber taken from re-
serves for local use, but advances the
price of the timber holdings of vast
corporations and timber barons,
whose product is saved from compe-
tition."
Suppose all western papers held
this view of one of the greatest move
ments of the present age, that Of
saving the forests and the streams
and range for future development
and use Suppose this sentiment pre-
vailed in the west and congress and
the departments were forced to fore
go any further efforts to save these
priceless resources of the country.
How long would it be until the west
would be plundered 'by the land syn
dicates, beyond any possible hope Of
recovery?
Does the News believe in irriga-
tion, the means by which Idaho is
being reclaimed from desert? Ger
tainly. Then how would it husband
water for future Irrigation IL it al
lowed land syndicates to corner all
the forests, stream sources. water
sheds and other natural water sup
plies?
The course of the News is extreme
" inconsistent, 1t would seem.
The west needs forestry, range
preservation, stream preservation, ir-
rigaton, reclamation, more than any
other section of the country. Will
the west destroy the very means by
which these are to be secured?

SOUL OF THE SINGER.

We read the song that is written
A few little grotesque signs,
Arranged In certain meter,
With rhymes at the end of the
lines;
And by the thought of the music
Some chord in our hearts is STIR
red
But the song in the soul OF the singer
Is never heard.
The one who best. sees the picture
Is he with a soul Of art.
The one who best reads the poem
Is he with the poet heart.
The thoughts that are rarest and
sweetest
Are deepest from sight inferred.
The song in the soul of the singer
Is never heard.
Some yearnings may not be spoken;
Some loves are so wholly blessed.
Some dreams are so tlnged with
heaven
They never can be expressed.
We miss the intangible something
Behind the veil of the world.
The song in the soul of the singer
Is never heard.
We meet, but are yelled In spirit,
Familiar, but are unknown;
a realm of our inmost beings
Where we are alone, alone.
In each is strain peculiar
On no other heart conferred.
The song in the soul of the singer
Is never heard.

LITTLE THINGS.

A goodbye kiss is a little thing.
with your hand on the door TO go
But It takes the venom out OF the sting
OF a thoughtless word or cruel fling
That you made an hour ago.
A kiss of greeting is sweet and rare,
After the toll of the day.
But it smooths the burrows out of the
care
And lines on the forehead you once
called fair,
In the years that have flown away.
'Tis a little thing to say, "You are
kind
love you, my dear" each night;
But it sends a thrill through the
heart, / find,
For love is tender. as love is blind
As we climb lfe's rugged height
We starve each other for loves ca
ress;
We take but do not give;
1t seems so easy some soul to bless
But we dole love grudgingly, less and
less,
Till 'tis bitter and hard to live. o.

MY CREED.


think that many a soul has God
within,
Yet knows no church. nor creed
no word of prayer,
No law of life save that which
seems most fair
And true and just, and helpful to Its
kin
And kind; and holds that act alone
as sin
That lays upon another soul Its
share
OF human pain. of sorrow, or OF
care,
Or plants a doubt where faith has
ever been
The heart that seeks with Jealous JOY
the best
In every other heart 1t meets, the
way
Has found to make its own condition
blessed
To love God is to strive through
life's short day
To comfort grief, to give the weary
rest,
To hope and love-that, surely. Is
to pray.

the goal;
While he who walks in love may wan
der far,
Yet God will bring him where the
blessed are.
-Moonshlne.
