STOPPING FOUL LANGUAGE.

Springdale's mayor is entitled to
APPROPRIATION for the campaign he has
started against foul and obscene Ian
guage on the streets and in public
places. In extending the warfare 10
include the saloons he is adopting a
rather unique policy, and one which
If successfully carried out. will win
for him additional credit.
Many of the better class of saloon
keepers everywhere frown on profan-
ity and obscenity in their places. They
have numerous patrons to whom foul
language is Objectionable In the av-
erage saloon. however, the conditions
tend to foulness rather than purity
of word.
There can be no question as to the
desirablity of banishing foul and OBJ
scene language from the streets.
Nothing is more offensive 70 decent
people than to have their ears assail-
ed with swearing and coarse jests.
The swearing habit is senseless and
degrading. corruptng in its effect on
boys, who seem to think 1t manly to
follow the example of their foolish
elders, shocking to sensitive women
and children, and in every respect a
custom that should be abolished

THE sUPERSTTUTION CURE.

Occupying an isolated position on
the moors about five or six miles
above Penzance, in Cornwall, Eng,
is a peculiar trio of stones. They are
arranged in a straight line the two
outside ones being about four feet
high and upright. while the center
one is a little lower but much wider.
In the last mentioned, says The
Strand Magazine, there is a round hole
large enough to admit a man pass
ing through. This pile is known as
the "Menan-to," or "Holed Stone"
Popular tradition states that any one
crawling through the hole I'm the cen
ter stone will be forever immune from
rheumatism and allied complaints. In
times gone by the country people used

THE HOME1IAKER

A dispatch from La Grande to the
Oregon Sunday Journal tells of the
changing character Of o. r. & n
railroad employees; it tells of the dis
appearance of the migratory boom
er" and the coming of the home
making type of railroad man, of the
type which builds a permanent home,
becomes a viter and a citizen and
who takes pride in his city and state.
The Sunday Journal contained no
more interesting item than this. 1t IS
a tribute to the stability of railroad
employees. a tribute to the changing
conditions Of railroad employment and
a tribute to the railroad companies
which make it possible by good
wages. satisfactory regulations and
good treatment for employees to set
tie down"
La Grande is to be congratulated
on her railroad men, Pendleton is
proud of her small quota of these
people and wishes she had more of
them. One man who builds a nest
and rears a family in the community
IS worth more than all the boomers"
in the world.

NO LONGER AFRAID.

1t is no longer possible to hold
thinking men and women in either
churches or political organizations
through fear or superstition.
There must be some substantial,
wholesome ground now, upon which
to base belief, upon which claim the
affiliation of progressive and sincere
people.
Formerly it was easy to whip peo-
PIE into line by drawing a picture Of
an imaginary devil stirring his fires
in an imaginary hell. There is
naught but humor in such pictures
any more. They are the vanishing
symbols of dark and miserable age
Of fear.
The mind of man has climbed up
above and beyond this belief 1t has
learned to love God and nature and
to recognize the divinity in man, and
the ideals have love and fraternity
and progress, and not fear for the
cement which holds men together.
Fear has held back the mental de-
velopment of the world years and
years. 1t has forbidden men to think.
IL has forbidden them to inquire, it
has forbidden them to question or ex-
anime or investigate. They could do
nothing but cringe, under the creed of
fear.
Now they are opening their eyes,
their minds, their hearts. They see
that there is nothing to fear, and that
there is very, very much to love in the
world. They see that man is armed
with magnificent powers for self
development and that it is his mis-
sion to learn to use these powers.
Consequently mind forces are COM
ing into use. Blind ignorance and
superstition are skulking away into
he shadows. The sunlight of men,
al progress is pouring into the |
gloomy corners of the world and soon |
he creed of fear and hatred and di- |
'ision ana superstition will have pass
ID into oblivion.
1t Is daybreak everywhere,

United States senator's will simply
sweep oregon at the coming primary
election.
Two years ago over 65 per cent OF
the members OF the legislature pledg-
ed themselves to elect the peoples
choice and for the first time in the
history of the state, a senatorial cleo
ton passed by without a bitter ( ght.
in which the distribution of Doodle
and bribery funds played most con-
spicuous and shameful part.
The people selected their candi-
date and the legislature simply ratl-
fled that selection by one ballot, taken
ii. perfunctory manner without Bit
terness or contention or III feeling.
Now will oregon retrograde be-
cause a few old-time politicians fear
the will of the people? viii not more
than 65 per cent of the legislature
be ready to stand pat" for the peo-
pies choice this year? Oregon is
going ahead. to be sure. The pop
ular election OF United States sena-
tors is too big a question to be ban
died with. Let the politicians keep
their hands off. Let the people
choose. The legislature is simply a
servant of the people.

FORGOT THE PASSWORD.

In saloon in Holyoke, where ne
groes are very scarce, an intoxicated
Irishman objected to the presence OF
a colored gentleman, and made an in
sulting remark about the "nager."
He of the stove polish hue became
Indignant and gave Pat volume OF
talk that made him mad, and instead
of apologizlng. as was demanded, he
took off his coat and rolled up his
sleeves to the elbows, saying that "no

"If we mus fight let's agree that
when one of us has enough to say
'sufficiency.'
"All right" says Pat walking all
around his adversary, waiting for the
fray to start.
They went at 1t, and two-thirds OF
the time it looked as though Pat was
in for a trimming. The battle waged
for half an hour and Pat looked hors
de combat when, to the surprise OF
all the colored man gasped "Suffi-

MENTAL HEALING.

A suggestion which would have
cost him his position only four or five
years ago. and which would have
doubtless cost man his liberty and
perhaps his life. zoo years ago in
New England was made by Professor
James r. Angel. teacher Of psychol-
ogy in Chicago university few
nights ago in an address before the
Physicians club of the Windy City.
While address ,ng this distinguish
ed coterie of physicians. scientists and
students Of medicine and surgery,
Prof Angel said that a course for
the teaching Of mental healing should
be instituted in Chicago university.
Mental healing! Horror Of hor-
rors! Teach people to heal them
selves? Take away the mystery and
dignity Of the great SC ence Of medi-
cine? This is sacrilege!
And yet every leading physician
today recognizes the fact that mental
therapeutics. suggestion, mind force
and magnetism play major part in
curing many Of the common ailments
with which they deal from day to
day.
To suggest that Chicago un versity.
one Of the greatest educational insti-
tutions in the world should install a
course for the teaching Of mind heal
ing. Is a most remarkable recognition
of the rapid advance Of mental sci
ence in the educational circles Of the
country.

LAW.

All the giant power of Gravity, which
holds
The universe compact in its embrace,
And lays on man its great oppressive
hand,
Bending his naughty head unto the
earth;
Keeps not the Sap from answering
the call
OF the trees heart when wakened by
the spring.
Thus too in man, there's that which,
wakened, laughs
At obstacles which would obstruct Its
path;
And sees in laws-not shacKles coarse
which bind
Him like a loathsome slave unto his
task
But a bright path, which his fond
Father blazed
Up through the dreary wilderness of
sense.

NOTES FROM THE PHILIsTINE

Fences are only for those who can
not fly.
If you want work well done, select
a Busy Man-the Other Kind has No
Time.
The reason the Goddess Of Justice
is blindfolded is so she can not see
what the lawyers and judges do, for
If she did she would fall dead"

long as we are loved by others l
would almost say we are indispen-
sable; and no man is useless while
he has friend"
Cultivate self-confdence and learn
to say NO. 1t is a great thing to be
a man, but 1t is finer thing to be
a master-master OF yourself.

In order that republican voters
may make no mistake, the Pendleton
Tribune advertlses that It Is the "only
republican paper in Pendleton." This
advertisement Is very necessary as
the ordinary voter would not recog-
nize it as a genuine republican paper
without the label. It would appear
to be a Geer paper, solely, genuine
republicanism of the more modern
and broad gauge brand finding but
little room for expression in its col
umns.

If nature has favored Portland as
an export point for the north Pacif. c
coast, by giving her a down grade
from the rich wheat fields of the in
terror, the Washington railroad com
mission has no right to question the

roads cannot haul wheat as cheaply
as the o. r. & n. to tidewater, that

long drawn out effect to make a river

THE VANISHING RACE.

"a Picture by Edward S. Curtis.)
Into the shadows, whose illumined
crest
Speaks of the world behind them
where the sun
Still shines for us whose day is not
yet done,
Those last dark ones go drifting. East
or West
Or North or South-it matters not;
their quest
Is toward the shadows whence it
was begun;
Hope in it, All, my brothers. there
is none
And yet-;hey only seek place to
rest.
SO mutely. uncomplainingly, they go!
How shall it be with us when they
are gone,
When they are but mem'ry and
a name?
May not those mournful eyes to phan-
toms grow
When. wronged and lonely, they
had drifted on
Into the voiceless shadow whence
they came?
