The restlessness Of humankind is
one of the most fascinating of studies.
When the struggling farmer on one
Of the remote outskirts of the county
feels that he can leave the farm he
moves to Helix, Pilot Rock, Echo or
elsewhere. For a few years he Is sat-
isfied there until he grows more
wealthy when he moves to Pendleton.
Then when he grows more wealthy
and Graves a larger sphere he moves
Oh TO Portland. 1t is a sort of per-
petual motion of ambition.

FASHIONS LATEST TORTURE.

The tyrant, Fashion. has her pun>
ishments and tortures for mankind,
nc les han Prejudice and Hatred.
Only accept the chastisements of
Fash N with a sweet submission
which would go far toward making
us genuine martyrs in any really
good cause.
The last triumph of Fashion in
conceived punishment for her idola-
trous devotees, is the feat of plant
ing" new eyelashes into the eyelids
Paris dispatch describes this excru'
eating performance as follows:
Planting" eyelashes is the latest
torture which women endure for
beauty's sake. The operation, which
Is very delicate and painful is thus
described in the Paris Health Jour
nal
"A long hair is singled out of the
patients head \ needle is threaded
with it and forced in and out of the
skin along the edge Of the eyelid,"
forming a series of loops. These loops
are then cut at the extremities and
the rows of lashes thus obtained are
curled upwards with curriers'.
when the operation is finished the
patient has to spend 12 hours with an
oiled bandage over the eyes The pro-
cess for the manufacture of eyebrows
is similar"

PROGRESS IN MONTANA.

Montana is the first state to take
hint from the recent congress OF
governors, and make move to pre-
serve her natural resources. 1t is a
tribute to her progressive spiri- to
publish this fact.
Montana has been perhaps more
greatly abused by the corporations
than any other western state. Her
mines have been cornered, her timber
wealth wasted, her coal taken from
the people by the corporations, her
ranges monopolized, her water
sources devastated and her natural
beauty marred by the selfishness of
big syndicates.
Now she hastens to preserve the
remnants for posterity. 1t is fitting
that Montana should be the first TO
begin to save her natural wealth for
posterity. Although she has yielded
billions to the greed of her mining
and land syndicates, yet she possesses
billions more to give in future. So
have all the western states.
\ state commission has been ap-
pointed to cooperate with the nation
al congress of governors recently or
upon the suggestion Of Pres
ident Roosevelt, for the preservation
of the natural resources of the nation.
When will Oregon take this step?
VIII she take il? Where is Governor

The conferences and discussions at
the United States hotel had made
| luncheon a late function and many as
a matter OF fact had TO cut out that
part of the program in order TO take
any part in the afternoons proceed
ings The feature of the afternoon was
the speech of Secretary Root. in
which he dealt with the issues of the
day. He praised, in glowing terms,
the administration of Gov. Hughes.
Mr.. Root said in part:
Just a decade has passed since we
were assembled In this place engaged

dore Roosevelt for governor OF New
York We are now to nominate sue

that the Empire state shall surely cast
her electoral vote for the Republican
candidate to succeed the same Theodore
Roosevelt as president OF the United
states
May we not discern In the perform
ancc OF that duty an opportunity broad

obligation than the mere attainment or
local success?
We have a record which forbids dis
enlargement or doubt in the perform
ance Of our task. We can turn TO the

Objects TO G. o. p. Platform.
Mr.. Bryan stated with emphasis that
there was nothing in the Democratic
platform that need alarm any legiti-
mate interest. Among other things.
he said:
THE Democratic platform differs
from the Republican platform in that
our party distinctly declares what It
opposes and what ii favors. When
you read the Democratic platform,
you know exactly what TO expect, for
the two candidates are pledged TO the
platform. You not only know what
the platform includes but you know
that It excludes everything else.

uous and uncertain. When you get
through reading II you are In the dark

Mr.. Taft, he said, had already

amendments he might add before the
election and what additions he might
make TO II after the election When
any one came TO construe the Repub-
