THE CIRCUS POSTERS.

Just at present Pendleton is suf-
fering from the rapacity of the circus
bill poster. Not only are the bill
boards covered but old buildings
have been plastered with menagerie
pictures and the walls and even some
of the fronts of business buildings
have been covered.
There are many people who feel
that this circus poster nuisance has
been carried beyond the limit. The
matter has certainly been carried far
when the gorgeous dodgers are flaunt-
ed from the uppor portion of business
fronts. These posters are an eye sore,
they are dangerous from a fire stand
point, and when they blow down they
litter the streets and frighten horses.
1t is about time the city was adopt
ing some stringent measure providing
that circus posters shall be confined
to the bill boards.

NOT OVER CROWDED.

During the commencement season
it is customary for speakers to warn
graduates against entering the "over-
crowded professions" This tendency
has caused the Washington Post to
take the subject up in an editorial
way and it tries to point out that there
Is plenty of room for the graduates
if they will but show some common
sense in selecting vocations.
Among other callings the Post re-
fers to the profession of farming
which it considers in much the same
light as that of engineering, medicine,
law and other lines which are usually
referred to as the professions"
''The farmer who makes money out
of his crops in the future will not be
the boy who has learned his farming
by following the plow, but the one
who studied soils in, the laboratory
and the cultivation of plants at the
experiment stations. 1t will be the
professional farmer who will gather
the plums in the next generation.
so the boy who feels his ambitions
crumble at the cry of overcrowded
professions need not lose heart The
practical professions are of prime i'm
portance in the world today They
demand as much intelligence as the
others, as much energy, and a nearly
equal amount of study along speciali-
zed lines. Best of all, they pay we'll
and there is no overcrowding to gel
at the top-for the top is as wide as
the circumference of the earth"
This Characterization of agriculture
applies especially we'll in the west In
this country land may be obtained
easily and it is we'll known fact thai
farming is the most remunerative call
ing there is.

ENGLAND AND GERMANY.

That the world is still in an age
when wars are possible and that ar
maments are yet needed is generally
admitted, But the idea of a great
war between England and Germany
sounds like an absurdity.
Why should England and Germany
go to war; Both nations are of the
same race--of the same flesh and
blood. Both are civilized nations in
habited by people who have a COM
mon ancestry. They have a common
civilization. 1t would be the height
Of folly for two such nations to en-
gage in war.
Henceforth there should be peace
between the caucasian nations of the
earth. at least. These nations have
nothing to gain by fighting among
themselves The differences they may
have, growing out of commercial jeal-
ousies or other causes, may easily be
settled by diplomacy. They will be
settled in that manner.
If there are to be any further wars
they will be, not between England
and Germany or between any other
white powers of the earth, but between
the east and the west. Between the
civilization of the orient and that Of
Europe and America there are vast
differences. The people are of differ
ent races, different creeds and the
manners and customs of the people
are radically different. With the
rapid advancement upon which the
people of the east have just started
some very serious problems naturally
arise. There is a field for conflict of
interest Japan and Russia have al
ready fought one war and they may
clash again, There are many who be-
lieve that war between Japan and
some white power to be almost ine-
vitable.
But it is difficult for sure to see any
valid reason why England and Ger
many should fight or why there
should be any apprehension at all as
II a war between those nations.

CONGRESSIONAL CLOTHES.

once upon a time, the seasoned
gossips of Washington say, you could
spot a United States senator at sight.
But now, they declare, it is hard to
tell a solon of the upper house from
a stock broker. 1t is all in the mat
ter of clothes. The long frock coat,
the expansive shirt front and the big,
soft, black hat of old have yielded to
modern business attire.
We mention these things because
a Washington dispatch stating that
SO members of the house appeared
on Monday in wholly new raiment
suggests a general thought of the
clothes of congress-
A British NJ. P. who visited this
country a few years ago remarked
that our national legislators did not
know how to dress. To which a trav-
eler from home rejoined that they
We're lucky If they did not know how
to dress like members of the house
of commons. Be that as it may, what
| meager particulars we have of the
new SUITS Oh various representatives,
indicate that the increased salaries
of congress have fallen amid ex-
ponents of progress and good taste.
1t is likely that all So of the freshly
clad would pass muster on brightest
| Fifth avenue.
Msgiving begins only as we read
of Speaker Cannon in fawn-colored
array of the most approved cut, with
pearl-gray hat on his dome of
thought and a light necktie conceal
| ing his forward collar button. "Uncle
Joe" is from a homespun district.
Can he represent it in those clothes?
Moreover, as the head of the house
he is presumed to be representative
of the spirit which moves that body.
| Do we read in his rebellious attire
confirmation of a suspicion already
engendered by the senatorial mud
ding of the tariff bill? Has congress
ceased definitely to represent the
land behind New York World.

FLAVORED EGGS.

The above question does not refer
to the manner of preparation-how
long they shall be boiled or upon how
many sides they shall be fried. 1t
means, what flavor Of eggs do you
like. Will you have lemon eggs or do
you prefer chocolate with perhaps
just dash of vanilla?
No less an egg specialist than the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture recently declared that the flavor
or odor of an egg may be gently in
fluenced by the feed Of the hen. It's
latest egg bulletin states that hens
fed on onion tops and garlic acquire
the habit Of laying eggs with a de-
cidid flavor Of these vegetables.
Is there any reason to doubt that a
good-natured hen might be induced to
eat any kind of flavoring matter that
fastidious man might like in his ONE
lette? Isn't It just possible that hens
of convival disposition might lay q
species Of ready-made eggnog thai
would find a ready market in oul

Or If hens could only be taught t.
love Easter-egg dyes-but perhaps
it would be just as well not to con
fuse the humble fowl by starting too
