Division of Territory.

According to Mr.. Smoot. the importers
do not desire any change in the present
law because those who handle the high
classes and those who handle the low
classes of goods have agreed upon a divi-
sion of trade territory. so that the inter-
pretation of the DingIey law Is perfectly
satisfactory to both. He sought to snow
also that 1t was satisfactory TO number
Of the manufacturers. but unfair TO those
who are seeking to develop the manufac-
ture OF high-class goods in this country.
Continuing, he said
I'm this view the committee. after con-
sidering the demand of both. has framed
the Senate bill regardless of the desire or
either manufa cturers or importers. 1t was
mindful only that consistent. uniform
rates of duty should he levied upon all
cotton cloth from the lowest to the high
est in accordance with the value per
square yard and condition. regardless OF
whether it counts few threads or more :.
that cotton cloth of the same value ana
condition shall pay the same duty. that
uniform duties might be laid and collect
ed and that no particular interest be ia

Speech by J. J. Hill.

In his speech James J. Hill said:
1.-The greatest service to the nation. to
every state and city today would be the
substitution for term of years of law
enforcement for law making. There are
four great words that should be written
upon the corner stones of every public
building in the land with the sacredness
of a religious rite. These watchwords of
the republic are Equality, Simplicity,
Economy and Justice.
In so far as the people of America have
been faithful to the principal of economy,
the first principle Of the nation, continu-
ing. Mr.. Hill declared. they had been
prosperous and had commanded the re-
spect of others because of their own self
respect. Whereas when Americans have
been unfaithful to the principle of equal
ity their ideals have been warped and
they have taken a step backward.
Much will be needed, he declared, to
bring the now complicated structure of
our government back to simpler condi-
tions. but he expressed confidence and
hope that such would be accomplished.

National Banks Profitable.

Washington.-Durin the current
fiscal year the national banks of the
country have received individual de-
posts of s4,S26, ,O6O.3S4, more than
$500, 100000 in excess of the entire
outstanding money supply of the
the United States, according to fig
ures made public today.
The year has been one of excep-
tional prosperity for national banks.
Since May IA, 1908, there has been an
increase of los in their number. OF
those that went into liquidation II
were in oklahoma and withdrew
from the national system to reorgan-
ize under the state guaranty law.
Notwithstanding the unusual num-
Der of banks withdrawing from the
national system, the aggregate capt.
tai, surplus and profits of the banks
reporting on April 2S, 1909, amount
ed to $1,729,O57,01O, or an increase
of $5S,5S6,42S in the year. Loans and
discounts increased $434, 1898, de-
posits 513.4O3,5S4 and total re-
sources $774,261, ,145.

GENEROSITY AND EFFICIENCY.

Human success and happiness de-
pends largely upon the mental traits
of individuals. The man or the wo-
man of breadth of mind and chari-
table, generous impulses is almost sure
to enjoy life and to be popular. But
the one who bitterly nurses the recol-
lection of every trivial wrong makes
his life miserable and also interferes
with his efficiency. In a current mag
azine there recently appeared the fol-
lowing upon this very theme;
Some people bear for years a Bit
ter hatred or a great jealousy toward
some one or more persons, and this
mental attitude units the possessor
for giving out the maximum of his
ability and destroys his happiness.
Not only this; but he radiates his in
imical atmosphere. thus prejudicing
people against him, arousing antagon-
isms and constantly handicapping
himself all along the line.
"Just think of the blighting, zorro"
ding influence of carrying some hat
red or great fancied wrong or grudge
against another constantly in the
mind and continually trying to get
square with him. Why, in a little
while it would cut the efficiency of
a genius down to mediocrity.
'The mind must be free from Bit
terness, jealousy, hatred, envy and un-
charitable thoughts; free from every
thing which trammels it, or pay the
penalty by impaired efficiency, infer
ioI work.
mo one can carry a grudge against
another. a bitterness of any kind, a
desire to get even with him, without
very disastrous results to his own mind
his own efficiency and happiness.
Mental discords whittle life away
at a fearful rate; they waste energies;
destroy happiness and age one very
rapidly"

Mrs. Taft Saves His life.

peal to her husband Mrs. Taft has
succeeded in saving from the gallows
a man at Fairbanks, Alaska, who was
under sentence of death for murdeA
The name of the man is Perovitch.
Russian. Tried and convicted by
Judge Wickersham Of Alaska, he
made an application through consul
for executive clemency on the ground
that there were extenuating circum-
stances. He told Mrs. Taft about it.
She asked her husband to be merci-
full, and when he still hesitated she
pleaded with him. Then the presh
dent relented. Delegate Wickersham
has just been apprised that clemency
will be granted, and instead of hang
ing Perivitch will be given imprison-
ment for life.

A CONFESSION.

I wish that when tomorrow 1 awake
Some messenger may knock at my
door
And tell me I possess the right to take
Another blissful nap, to toll no
more
I wish that through some lucky
chance 1 might
Tomorrow find myself millionaire;
There are so many wrongs that L
could right,
So many hearts that / could rid OF
care.
There is a weary widow whom I know
Her children should have more
than crusts to eat;
certain cripple, patient in his woe,
should cease to sell his pencils in
the street;
Those whom 1 love should taste life's
luxuries,
The pallid man who 1abors In the
ditch
Should pray with fervor nightly, on
his knees,
That God might guard me well, II
were rich.
There are a thousand places where l
long
To drive out sorrow and let in de-
light;
The weak who are incumbered by the
strong
From thraldom I would rescue, II
might;
And there are many who look down
on me,
Because I lack the prominence they
share
All. what satisfaction 1t would be
To snub them, IL I were a million
s.. e. Kiser.

THE PORTLAND ELECTION.

Joe Simon will be the next mayor
of Portland. His election has caused
some people and some newspapers to
imagine that this choice was due to
the fact that Portland people have
become opposed to the direct primary
and the initiative and referendum.
This is a big mistake.
AS a matter of fact Simon was ell
ected mayor of Portland because he
was practically without opposition.
No really strong man was entered
against him either in the republican
primary or in the election. But in
each case several candidates ran
against him, thus dividing the opposi-
ton vote and making Simon's success
certain. To most people Simon's ell
ection was foregone conclusion when
the opposition failed to unite upon
one strong candidate.
Now that he has been elected it
will be interesting to observe the
course that Simon will take. In, the
days of old he was clever and high
ly successful machine leader. But
he declared yesterday that in his ad-
ministration as mayor there would be
no machine politics" Is it possible
that he meant this? 1t is entirely
possible. During the six years that
Simon has been in retirement he may
have learned much. He may have
learned, if he did not know it before,
that the really clever politician, is
the one who is entirely square with
his people. But there are many who
will doubt that Joe Simon's reincar-
nation is genuine. They will have to
be shown before they will believe that
he is anything but the same old ring
chieftain.
AS for the initiative and referen-
dunn, the Portland election has been
a vindication. Though the people had
to pass judgment upon 81 different
propositions they seem to have acted
with rare discernment. A hasty glance
at the returns indicates that most Of
the meritorious measures carried
while most Of those that failed de-
served to fail. The returns indicate
that the people are learning how to
vote.

EAST END FRUIT.

The strawberry Day" at Milton
yesterday calls to mind the Importance
Of the east end Of the county as hor-
ticultural section. For many years
the Milton-Freewater country has
been known as a fine fruit growing
district. But within the past few
years the people of that section have
made especial advancement along the
line Of scientific horticulture. They
are now raising far more fruit than
ever before; they are raising better
and more uniform varieties and they
have learned much about how to mar
ket their fruit As result they are
now making more money than they
ever did before and their country is
rapidly becoming thickly populated.
But there is one criticism to be
made Of the people in the east end.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-06-09


They allow another state to claim all
the credit for the fruit raised in their
section. They let Walla Walla have
all the glory and all the advertising
out of the products raised in the east
end. This should not be. The Mil
ton-Freewater country should not
become a backyard for the Washing
ton town. The people of that section
should see that their fruit is called
Milton fruit or Freewater fruit, not
Walla Walla fruit. They should do
this for business reasons, not merely
as a matter of sentiment.

THE MASTER STROKE.

Cheered for his agile feet and nimble
stunt
The bronzed ball player swells with
honest pride;
The long and accurate throw, the willy
bunt.
The daring steal, the perilous head
long slide.
Each in the homage of the gladsome
eye
Close to the public heart an hour
has sat:
Plucked from the binding sun the in
credible fly,
Or fiery lines smoking from the
bat.
Full oft the timely and prodigious
whack
The multitude has jubilantly thrill
The great, aerial, fence distaining
crack
And home run wallop when the
bags were filled.
Lo, where the catcher like granite
rock,
Kinsman to courage and unknown
to fear,
With dauntless front repels the iron
shock
And awful volleys of the cannoneer.
s, =, ~
And unforgot the pitchers mighty
hour,
Whose fusillade immortalzed his
name,
Held the dread sluggers helpless in
his power,
And broke their proud hearts with
a hitless game.
With feats like these our plaudits they
evoke,
On the green diamond in game of
ball;
These, and the Incompatible master
stroke
And flash of genius that outshines
them all:
Such as of old had made Olympus
ring,
And vitalized the beautious Phidian
clay,
And gave to Homer's harp another
string,
The glorious unassisted triple play!

MERIT SHOULD RULE.

With much gusto it is announced
that the cities of the Atlantic coast
will combine with those of the Pa
cific in the move to prevent the es-
tabllshment of railroad rates more
favorable to inland points. But in
point of influence the interior" should
be fully equal to the American sea-
board country. There is much coun-
try and some very large cities be-
tween the Atlantic and the Pacific,
Then it is just possible that the in
terstate commerce commission will
decide the problems upon their mer-
iSs and regardless of the support"
that is given either side of the con-
troversy.
