the west yet the white race will never
mingle on terms of equality with orr
entails. They never will.
A few days ago the whole country
was startled by the news that a white
girl, Elsie Sigel had been foully muir
dered by Chinese lover who then
packed her dismembered body into a
trunk.
Like others of her class this girl,
who by the way was a granddaughter
of the illustrious Franz Sigel, thought
she could bridge the chasm that cen
turies have placed between her race
and the Mongolians. Her religious
zeal made her forget what her COM
mon sense doubtless told her, that
there could be no social equality be-
tween herself and her Chinese pro-
teges. For her error she gave up her
life.
There are many people who be-
lieve that the whole scheme for
Christianizing the orient is futile. The
orientals are of civilization that IS
older than ours. They have religious
beliefs and customs of their own thar
they have acquired during an exist
ence that dates back many thousands
Of years. 1t is folly to think that all
this may be wiped away in a moment.
AS we'll might the missionaries try to
stop the tides of the ocean as to over
turn the work of ages by few years
oe preaching.
1t would be well if the horrible
death of Elsie Sigel would set the
missionaries to considering If it would
not be we'll to leave the Mongolian
to his own hereditary religion and de-
vote the time and money spent upon
them to the reclamation of white souls
that are in danger of the bottomless
nit

WASTE OF CITIES.

New York City wastes officially
$5O,OOO,OOO a year-this apart from
the amount lost by theft and graft
ing.
This equals the losses of the Balti-
more Fire, or the cost of the Erie Ca
nal, or the national expenditures OF
the Kingdom of Sweden, or those OF
the Dominion of Canada.
It is more than Great Britain will
require this year to pay its old-age
pensions.
1t Is a waste of the energy of every
tired straphanger, of the leisure whicr
better transit facilities would yield the
every day worker.
1t is a waste of the wages of the
poor. On these all frauds and extra
vagances of government finally bear.
1t is also a melancholy waste of hu-
man life. The income from these
wasted millions would stamp out not
only tuberculosis, but also typhoid and
diphtheria.
Most American cities are equally
misgoverned, yet in the same world
with human nature just the same
there are many cities which admin
lister so ably that they collect no tax
es-some which actually pay divi-
dends to their citizens.-Success.

BUILD THEM ALL.

Where there's much smoke there's
bound to be some fire" With so
much talk of local railroad building
there's liable to be something doing.
Just what will be doing and when are
problems not yet solved.
But at this time there is one thing
that is very plain. 1t is that further
railway lines are needed and that
their construction will be of vast ben
eft to the entire county and especi-
ally to certain sections.
Take the Holdman country, for in
stance. At this time that great sec
ton is without any railroad facilities.
The wheat farmers of that section
have very long haul to make and the
advancement of that region is held
back by the lack of transportation IA
cilities. 1t would certainly be to the
advantage of the farmers of that
country to have a railroad built from
Cold Springs to Pendleton, to Thorn
Hollow or to any other point. May
the road be built.
Another great need is that of an
electric line connecting the west end
of this county with Pendleton. Such
line might also be extended north
to Weston, for a traction line from
that point southwark is also an ur-
gent need. So is a line to Camas
Prairie needed. To the casual obser-
yer it would seem that an electric
line from this city through the Una
tilla project to the Columbia would
be more profitable than any other
line that might be built in the county.
AS the west end Of the county be-
comes developed there will be a great
business for such a line Further
more the business will be continuous
throughout the entire year and will
consist of both freight and passenger
traffic. On the other hand a road
through the wheat belt to the Co.
lumbia might prove to be Of use more
as rate regulator than otherwise.
These remarks are not inspired, by
anyone connected with any of the var
ious building schemes now up. They
are merely brought forth by the fact
that a number Of different enterpris-
es are projected. The East Oregonian
would be glad If all railroads and ef-
ectric line plans now under consid-
Grafton could be carried out. The
more such lines the better.

TO THE RIVERSIDE.

Down to the riverside, go the green
est way,
Where the south winds wave the
blossoms in welcome to the
day.
And life is like a blossom in the
merry month of May,
Down to the river-to the river,
Down to the river, through the
daisied grass,
The river where the gray doves see
their shadow as they pass,
Where Love may see his dimples in
a ripping looking glass
Down to the river, to the river
Down to the river, where life the
sweeter seems,
Where you hear the lily's secrets and
you gather all the CLEANS,
And drift away in music, and drift
away in dreams
Down to the river, to the river!

ganize an expedition for the relief of
Fort Sumter, and no one worked
more Loyalty to carry them out than
General Scott. A few days later It
was a question of Fort Pickens in
Florida. Scott recommended that 1t
be evacuated. Lincoln sought other
advice, reached his decision that Fort
Pickens should be reinforced, and
sent this order to Scott on Sunday
March 81: Tell him that l wish this
thing done, and not to let it fail un-
less he can show that l have refused
him something he asked for as nee
essary." Scott, on receiving the or
der, said in his sententious manner.
'Sir, the great Frederick used to
say, When the king commands, all
things are possible 1t shall be
done" 1t was done, and this fort
never passed out Of possession of the
United States. The expedition to
Fort Sumter failed, but through no
fault of Lincoln.-July Scribner.

l know a way-will you go, my dear
VIII you follow the path with me
The path that leads from Now and
Here
Forth into Already?
Where always the rose is red and
sweet,
Where always the skies are blue.
Where there is rest for wandering
feet,
In the meadow where dreams come
true.
Bid farewell to your bitter grief.
Laugh at your haunting care,
Loose the fetters of unbelief-
Arcady's flowers are fair.
Make you a garland of daffodils,
With never sprig of rue,
And Wen follow the path DER the
o happy hills,
To the meadow where dreams come
true.
We will dream our dreams as the
hours go.
We will fashion them fair and fine,
And all of my dreams will be yours,
you know,
And all of your dreams be mine.
Dear, win You follow the path with
me?
I'm waiting for you, for you!
To take the path into Already,
To the meadow where dreams come
true.

KISSING THE ROD.

o, heart of mine, We shouldn't
Worry so!
What we've missed of calm we
couldn't
Have, you know!
What we've met of stormy pain
And of sorrows driving rain,
We can better meet again,
If it blow!
We have erred in that dark hour
We have known,
When our tears fell with the shower
All alone!
Were not shine and shadow blent
AS the graceful Master meant?
Let us temper our content
With his own.
For we know not every morrow
Can be sad!
So, forgetting every sorrow
We have had,
Let us fold away our fears.
And put by our foolish tears,
And through all the coming years
Just be glad.

LINCOLN and Sumter.

He had been president less than "a

March g. he learned the precarious
situation at Fort Sumter, then not
publicly known. He at once called
on General Scott for reports and ad-
vice, and on March II Scott stated in
writing: at is, therefore, my opin-
ion and advice that Major Anderson
be instructed to evacuate the fort =.
and embark with his command
for New York" Scott had served
with distinction in the war of 1912,

CLEANSING SAN FRANCISCO.

An article in the last issue of Nc
Clure's magazine gives a startling his.
tory of the san Francisco graft pros
ecutions-why they were instigated
and how. If the article is accurate
and ii has all the ear-marks of relia,
bility, then Francis ]. Heney and his
friends are doing the finest work that
has been done in the west since the
day Balboa discovered the Pacific.
But the real and the original hero Of
the prosecution is one whose name
has been but infrequently mentioned.
He is Fremont Older, the managing
editor of the San Francisco Bulletin.
In the article in question the writer
tells of the years of futile work
towards purifying San Francisco THAI
was done before the actual prosecu-
tions began. During four years time
the Bulletin fought Schmitz and Ruet
because Older believed they were in
league to graft and plunder the city.
But so powerful had the little boss"
become, through the support given
him by people in circles both high and
low. who profited by his corruption,
that the fight was in vain.
But though defeated time and again
Older did not give up. Through his
efforts influential people, among them
Rudolph Spreckles, became interest
ed in the fight and Heney was enlisted
as prosecutor. Following that came
the exposures and the indictment of
Ruef and Schmitz and the higher
ups" The story then tells of the
dastardly attempts upon the lives and
the homes of those behind the good
work. Every man who went into the
game took his life in his hands. He
neys life was not the only one the
grafters tried to take Older himself
was kidnapped and held a prisoner
unjustly on a trumped up charge.
Often was his life threatened.
That the prosecution was not
prompted by business jealousy between
Spreckles and Calhoun the writer
clearly shows. The lines along which
the prosecution was to proceed had
all been laid out months before CAL
houn bribed any supervisors. Those
connected with the graft prosecution,
actively and indirectly, were prompted
by an honorable desire to cleanse the
city and state in which they lived.
At this time the prosecutors are
regarded coldly by the people Of San
Francisco and the Bulletin is unpop-
ular. Especially in fashionable cir
cles are Heney, Spreckles ct al re-
garded with disfavor. The probe
struck the rich as well as the poor
and the rich do not like II, though
they applauded while Ruef and
Schmitz were on the grill.
But in spite Of the opposition Of
tenderloin toughs and millionaire
grafters the prosecution will win out
in San Francisco. It has already won
the fight. Though all the wrong do
ers have not been convicted and
cannot be convicted, yet the knife has
cut San Francisco free from the rot
ten political ring that dominated the
city. San Francisco will profit and
California will profit by the work that
has been done although the people
may never thank those who have done
the work and have braved its perils.

Whether the county school super
lntendent or some one else is respon-
sible for the fact that the schools of
Pendleton are efficient is a matter
upon which opinions may well differ.
But the most important thing is the
fact that the schools are rightly eff
cient and that Pendleton is going to
keep them so. o.
