go in toto to Mrs. Raymond. And

he buys him clothes-if very much

charm while I watched during the
spring training. For the first time
in his life Bugs" found himself liv-
ing thoroughly hygienic life, color
ed by semi-hourly trots around the
park, and by the time left he was
liking it. His body, at first puffy,

There's the lure of the foamins

There's the voice of the roaring falls,
And the winds that blow
And the streams that flow
And the wild, free life that calls.
OH the camp on the lonely prairie,
In the cool Of the summer night,
And the hills afar
Where the lone trails are
Bathed in the starry light.
oh! the toss of the sloop in the trade
wind
With the round tropic moon on high
Or loaf all day
Where the monkeys play
Meath the cloudless southern sky.
OH the click of the flashing racquets!
OH the howl of the husky pack!
And the lonely mush
Through the northlands rush,
AS you follow the frozen track.

Each calls with a voice of it's own.
There's the saddles grip
And the paddles dip,
And the CLEAN of the camp fire lone.
Then away from the crowded city!
With its endless din and strife,
To the woodland pool
And the quiet cool
And the charm of the wanderers lifei

HILL-HARRIMAN MERGER.

An announcement of vast import
ance to the northwest is that concern
ing the agreement reached between
Hill and Hartman with respect to the
line between Portland and Seattle.
Just what the agreement will mean
the future must show. 1t promises
some benefits, but the announcement
OF the agreement also has a very du-
bious sound.
In the past there has been objec-
ton in Oregon to Harriman's con-
structing a line from Portland to Sc
attle. Instead of spending millions
upon that line Oregonians have
wanted Hartman to build branch lines
ir Oregon. They have argued that he
should spend his money in Oregon
because he has earned it in Oregon,
not in Washington. If the abandon
ment of the line TO Seattle means that
Hartman will build some of the long
needed lines in this state, then the an
nouncement is good news for oregon.
But it will be time enought to cele-
brate after the new lines have been
built
But the feature about the Hill
Hartman deal that is not gratifying
is the apparent complete understand
ing between the two railroad kings
In the past the fight between Hill and
Hartman for the business of the
northwest has been most beneficial
to the country 1t has resulted in
lower rates and in the development
of country that would otherwise have
been neglected. More than one COM
munity has played Hill against Har-
riman with good results. The rivalry
between the two railroad systems has
been the northwest's star of hope and
the announcement regarding the Sc
attle-Portland merger comes as a
cloud TO obscure its rays.
But it is useless to hope that Hill
and Hartman will continue to war.
That they and the interests they rep
resent should get together for pur-
poses of mutual benefit is perfectly
natural The only hope lies in the
regulation Of rates by means Of com
missions. In case governmental regu-
lation should prove failure there will
then be but one recourse and that to
governmental ownership.

IN THE LONG AGO.

The yielding clasp of your burning
hands
have felt in the long ago! r
And the sway of the sun of those
hazel strands
1 have loved in the long ago!
But a veil shrouds dark the forbidden
past,
As the mists well up in the swirling
blast.
For in an abyss the planet is cast,
Where We dwelt in the long ago.
Those Turing lips that shame the
I have kissed in the long ago!
And nameless delights Of their gfories
We're born.
That were mine in the long ago
Through garden agleam in exotic
bloom
We wandered and Mayed, not needing
the DOOM
That wove around us relentless Its
loou-
Where we loved in the long ago!
What matters the past-the days that
are dead
Though they lived in the long ago!
But let us be living and loving instead
AS we loved in the long ago!
So love shall be monarch and ruler OF
ALL
And yield we our bodies and souls tc
his thrall,
Though crushing and crumbling the
universe fall;
We were one. in the long ago!

PROGRESS AND MORALITY.

No nation can live and go forward
unless the rank and file of its people
observe the common rules of morality
and woman is treated with the high
consideration that is her due. No bet
ter example Of this is needed than that
furnished by the Turkish empire. a
land where women have always been
held in virtual slavery.
"six hundred years ago there were
no more cultured people, no braver
people. than the leading spirits Of the
Ottoman empire, says a writer in
Godwin's Weekly. The only hope for
the empire now is that the sons Of
alien mothers may redeem the land.
"It has sunk so low that there Is
little honor left among the men; they
have become cruel beyond belief, the
government corrupt beyond descrip-
tion. and the men in office almost all
thieves and willing to do anything
rather than make al honest struggle
for fortune and place.
"The nations Of Europe would long
ago have destroyed the government
except for their own jealousies and
their land lust, and lust for power.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-05-28

The Turkish nation has not been fit to
live for the past one hundred and fifty
years. 1t has been lost in every spe-
cies of debauchery and cruelty, and
that must be the result where women
are first held as playthings and then
as slaves. And when a company of
priests reach the point where they be-
come in reality the government, the
inevitable result is tyranny and de-
gredation."
But the Turks are not the only peo-
pie who have been lax in their treat
ment of women and in observance of
the moral code. other countries also
have been recreant but in each case
national degeneration has been the
result, The process of life is upward
and no nation can go forward when
its people persist in low living and re-
fuse 10 render to the mothers and
sisters of men the homage that is
justly due them.

of bright boys and girls are fatally
blighted by some unthinking or
needless superintendent or proprietor.
I have known of instances which were
little less than criminal, where young
hopes have been blighted, enthusiasm
crushed, ambition paralyzed forever
by coarse. rude, barbarous treatment
of employees.
Some men look upon their employ
ees as natural kicking posts, or as
safety valves for their bad temper
or their mistakes, and they vent their
spleen upon them without mercy.
No one likes to be blamed harshly,
even when he is in the wrong. Scold-

improvement in any one. There is a
better way to make the wrong-doer see
his fault. Any one in authority, be he

CUT THE WEEDS.

Just now many people of the city
are cutting the weeds from in front
Of their curbs in compliance with the
city ordinance. If all will but COM
ply with the law the appearance of
the streets in the residence section
will be vastly improved. Further,
more the cutting of the weeds at this
time will mean less weeds with which
to battle next summer. Household
ers who allow weeds to seed out this
summer will have a larger crop than
ever next year and their neighbors
also will suffer through their ne
gligence. Cut the weeds and cut them
now.
