I'M WANTING YOU. JEAN.

I'm wantin' you, Jean, for it's weary
I roam
Like a ghost in the bloom an the
blight;
The world has no light an my heart
has no home;
Love misses your kisses, tonight!
Do you think of that first kiss meath
heavens of blue
Where only the stars an the violets
knew?
LIN wantin' you. Jean, an the smile
that made bright
The world where the darkness
must be,
TIL I'm kissin your down-streamin'
tresses Of light
All the gold of them given to me!
Do you think, were you near, l should
let, you, my dear,
Hide the rose o. your cheek in your
beautiful hair?
I'm am wantin' you. Jean!-in the
tears of the years
I'm singin' and sighin' in vain
For the penitent angels to answer
my prayers
An give me your kiss again!
A heart that is homeless-it sighs
for you sol
An only the stars and the violets
know.

Take the last election in Umatilla
county was there an unusual number
OF candidates for nomination? No.
Did any incompetent men nominate
themselves" They certainly did not.
The men who were named had to
race for their places on the ticket and
the "lncompetents," if there were any,
lost out through being unable to quail
ify in the primaries. 1t was open talk
that 1t was more difficult to secure a
nomination under the direct primary
than under the old convention sys-
TEN. Under the direct primary a can
d:date must try his strength, he can
not obtain a nomination by fixing"
matters with the head of any political
clique Plums are not handed out as
rewards for service rendered party
bosses.
The politicians want the assembly
method simply for the purpose of
power that justly
and legally belongs to all the people.
The talk about the assembly being
to promote leadership" is
pure rot. The average politician,
such as would attend the convention,
is neither a wise nor patriotic leader.
He is more interested in getting his
finger in the pie than in looking out
for the public welfare. Oregon has
had much OF such leadership" in the
past. Many of the leaders" are now
in Jail and there are others who be-
long there.
The direct primary law is alright
Just as it is. The people understand |
i and they are using it wisely. 1t |
needs no doctoring by the men who
oy their rapacity caused the law to
DC enacted.

LET 1T TUMBLE,

Spain is a typical crumbling mon.
archy. Generations of special privi-
lcges for the wealthy and for the ar
istocracy have made the common peo-
pie hate and distrust the government.
Furthermore the arlstocracy itself has
become enervated. According to the
press reports the rich buy exemption
from service in the army while the
poor are forced to go to the front.
Victories are not won by armies re-
cruited under such conditions.
With the war in Africa and with a
dangerous revolution at home Alton
sc's throne is tottering and his royal
cousins in England and elsewhere up
on the continent are considering the
advisability of offering aid. They
doubtless fear that If the monarchy

would not be long until wave of re-
publicanism would sweep over the

such a wave comes and cleans the

the better will it be for Europe and
for the world.

NO DoCTORING NEEDED.

The Oregonian accuses this paper
OF opposing the assembly plan for
partisan reasons and says:
THE assembly plan has not been
devised by those who want to over
throw the direct primary completely
or at all. It is the plan of those who
wish and intend to keep the primary,
and to observe it and enforce it. But
they wish to preserve and to enforce
the representative system in party. as
a guide to party action.
"It is found not to be a good plan
to permit or invite every man who
wants an office to nominate himself
BY this system we get all sorts Of
pretenders and incapables. The sys-
TEN sets a premium on miserable in
efficiency and unfounded pretensioh.
Candidates multiply on the approach
of an election, likes the flies of Sum-
med. But men of dignity and capacity
refuse, or decline, to appear"
In charging this paper with partl-
sanship the Oregonian is wrong. The
East Oregonian is aligned with the
progressive" element in politics, but
with no political party. In the past
l. has supported both republicans and
democrats for office, when 1t chose
TO do so. It will do the same in the
future. for It is more interested in the
maintenance Of good government oy
keeping good, capable men in office
- than in advancing the interests OF any
particular party or faction.
Nor can the Oregonian's statement
that the assembly plan is not intend
ed as a blow at the direct primary
he taken at full worth. The oregon
ian has shown its hatred of the direct
nrimarv too often and too forcibly to
claim any friendship for the law al

such a pretension serves their pur-

Symmetry of Development

Track athletes are too apt to depend too much on the legs for
success, and especially is this 81 amongst the school boys. 1t is all
fine to- have a splendid pair of legs, but without a good body above
them they will not amount to much. This does not mean that it is
necessary to be able to make a showing of cords of muscles like
some heavy LITE in the circus, but it is necessary to have that
strength of body which will give a good working frame for the lungs
and heart. Especial attention should be given to the development
of the heart and lungs, for without a good pair of lungs the athlete
will not be able to compete very long against his stronger brothers.
President Jesse of the University of Missouri always maintained that
the wind was the big thing to develop in all sorts of athletics and
said that most injuries in foot ball even could be traced back to a
lack of wind. When a man becomes winded he cannot keep his
muscles up to that tension which is necessary to resist a hard blow
such as is received from a hard tackle in foot ball, and then 1t is
when the player is injured. Therefore especial attention should be
paid to exercises which will develop the heart and lungs. Club
swinging, dumbbel work and deep breathing exercises will develop
the chest and body movements, and setting-up exercises will develop
the back and abdominal muscles. Some trainers have the entire
squad lie down and place the hands back of the head and then draw
the legs from an outstretched to a perpendicular position. This
exercise may be varied by keeping the legs still and rising to a sit
ting posture several times. 1t is therefore most important that the
body be strong and wiry. Some athletes wonder why they do not
improve and too often it is simply because they do not take the
pains to develop their entire bodies. Nearly every field and track
event requires good body as well as a good pair of legs.
men not to try to specialize too soon in their course. It is far better
eye will be the better trained to work in harmony and at once. and
the necessary confidence will be developed. To work along various
lines will also tend to develop the entire body.

Requirements for Runners

A man may excel at one Of these events and yet run unplaced
in the other. A mile runner is a far different man from the man
who can win the 1OO-yard dash. The long, 1.-THE runner with lots
shorter man with the stout legs may excel in the sprints.
The large powerful fellow has a chance to show his worth in
the hammer throw, the discus throw and the shot put, while the
little fellow may be able to lift himself higher over the rod in the
pole vault. Track and field events bring out all sorts of contestants
Some years ago little attention was paid to this part of college
sports, but times have changed and now even the grade schools are
taking up both the track and field events, the high schools are
following UP the course and whereas in the olden times Mike
Murphy and other well known trainers had to look over the
students and pick out a man with a likely build and teach him how
to throw a hammer or put the shot, students now come to college

The lad born in the city has not the chance for exercise in
the free open air that his country cousin has and many live under
circumstances which are harmful to their physical development.
Success in life cannot be complete, no matter how we'll educated,

ness, determination and nerve which athletics develop. These may
only be obtained by judicious exercise and practice in youth. The

and to take lots of sleep and to abstain from smoking cigarettes.
Smoking stunts the development of the boy, Injuries his heart and
spoils his wind" Grown men may smoke a cigar o r a pipe without
injury, although a man who trains to do his best in an athletic
event must give up these luxuries. Smoking in any form is bad
for growing athletes and cigarettes are fatal to all prospects Of sue

Italy. TIL brier is the ~favorite with Eng
lishmen. who are probably the greatest pipe
smokers in the world. Taken all in all, it
is the best all-round pipe in use, and has as
wide a variation in price as the meerschaum,
whose costliness, by the way, may be in
creased by the carving of the bowl. The
principal item of expense in the brier is not
in the pattern of the bowl, but In the stem,
which, If made of rock amber, brings the
figure up to $50 or 500.
Here are two bowls of virgin brier and
a rock amber mouthpiece eight inches long,
worth $3.50. Briers are carved with the same
artistic skill as the meerschaum, but the
greatest demand is for the plain bowl, with
either the straight or curved mouthpiece of
amber or vulcanite. There are a hundred
varieties of shapes, and the majority of them
are the result of suggestions by
a large majority Of whom are college men,
wishing a particular form for a class pipe,
which the manufacturer turns out to order.
As moro than one pipe has TO be manufac-
tured, the shape or popularity attracts at

and is no longer allowed to compete. The youth is always urged
to bear in mind that in all contests he must play fair" He must
despise anything that is tricky o mean and must always abide by
the rules. He is taught to win by his own superior athletic prowess
and not to be hunting for some technicahty upon which to base a
protest against an opponent who has shown superior ability.
Athletics above all things teaches a man to be a good loser
and to accept the decisions of the officials of the games without
complaint in a sportsmanlike spirit. The man who is a poor loser
is always looked down upon by those who are more fair-minded.
One side must win if the contest is carried to the finish, and as the
best man generally wins, the loser should learn to take his defeat
with good grace and go forth with the resolve to strive to do better
the next time.
How much more manly it is to be a good loser and to congratu-
late your successful opponent with a cheerful manner. You should
be the first to congratulate him, because If he is good enough to
beat you he must necessarily be a good man. 1t is well to remember
that to be a good athlete means to be a square, honorable gentle
man. Some little advantage which may be temporarily gained by
trickery and underhand methods will not be long lived and the
trickery is almost sure to be found out.

looked like marble, but 1t was so light in

The nobleman took the irregular lump to the

1t occurred to this wise person that the

is necessary to eat plenty of good, healthy food and not diet too Sc
verely. A beginner must study his own abilities, especially in the
sprints. 1t is often the case that a boy may be especially fast, but
cannot last the 100 yards in that event. In that case the runner
should take short work to retain his speed, but should take longer
spins in a n effort to develop that stamina which is necessary to re-
tain the best speed. Other sprinters have little difficulty in lasting
the distance, but their trouble is in working up sufficient speed.
These should do a large amount of thirty-fve-yard pracucing. 1t is
generally the case that the small sprinter is fast away from the
mark, but slower at the finish, while the taller athlete is slower for
the first thirty yards, but is faster at the tape.
