this bin Senator Cole himself voted
and it passed the senate.
Now, how is Senator Cole going tc
reconcile his action with his duty by
his constituents? He is senator
from Umatilla county The eastern
oregon Normal school is located in
this county. 1t is an institution that
has done much good for eastern Ore
gon. though it has worked under the
most adverse circumstances Scores
of eastern oregon teachers are grad
yates Of that school. They rank among
the best teachers of the state, large
~ because they received good train
ing in the art of teaching
The people of Umatilla county and
OF eastern oregon want to see the
Weston normal continued They want
it to have a chance to show what it
can really do. They know that in the
future it will be even more valuable
than at present.
In the present legislature, the Una
tia county delegation. with one ex-
ception, have worked to sustain the
normal school Senator Smith has
fought for the school. All of the
Representatives have done the same.
But Senator Cole, who by virtue of
committee craftsmanship, had
chance to do much for the school, has
thrown it down"
How do the people like this? For
ne, the East Oregonian is willing to
say very frankly that it resents sena-
tor Coles behavior. Against the sem
ator personally it has not the slight
est animosity political or otherwise.
As a private citizen and a professional
man he is very estimable. But as
senator he has done wrong. He has
not represented his people BY his ac-
ton Monday he has shown that when
the people of this district elected him
as senator they made a sad mistake
In the future they should remember
his and profit thereby. They doubt
less will

OLD JANE.

l love old women best, l think;
She knows n friend in me
Old Jane, who totters on the brink
or Gods eternity;
Whose limbs are stiff. whose cheek Is
lean
Whose eyes look up, afraid;
Though you may gather she has been
4 little laughing maid.
once had she with her doll what
times,
And with her skipping rope!
Her head was full of lovers rhymes,
Once, and her heart full of hope;
who, now, with eyes as sad rs sweet
| love to look on her
At corner of the gusty street.
Asks, BUY pencil sir?'
Her smile IS as the litten West,
Nigh-whle the sun is gone;
She is more fain to be NJ rest
Than here TO linger on;
Beneath her lids the pictures fit
OF memories far away;
Her look has not hint IN 1t
OF what she sees today.

IN THEIR CLUTCHES.

Eastern Oregon hopes at Salem are
passing away Ike rainbow. In
stead of being treated we'll by the
legislature. as seemed the case until
recently, this section of the state IS
feeling the axe.
The branch asylum bill has fallen
by the wayside; the eastern Oregon
normal school, if it escapes with its
life will have but an insufficient ap-
preparation. The portage road bill
seems doomed and it is doubtful if
the coyote bounty bill will be passed.
All this comes about because Ore
gon has a bunch of pessimistic
knockers that have never ceased to
harp about appropriations Led by
the Oregor,an these hard shells
have attacked every appropriation
that has been proposed for the sup
port of schools and for the material
upbuilding of the state.
Being behind the times themselves,
these people do not know that Oregon
has advanced during the past ten
years. They overlook the fact that
the state institutions are now two or
three times as large as they former
Iy were and therefore need more
money.
These men have no ideas upon the
subject of state building. They have
not cared though the state printers
office, under the fee system, has cos
the state thousands of dollars need
lessly. But they howl about spending
$500 for improving the Cello
portage road, though it has been
shown that the road means a saving
of hundreds of thousands Of dollars
in freight bills
The trouble with Oregon is that
mossbackism is still with US. There
are men who remember that in the
good old days when pine trees grew
in the streets Of Portland it took but
1!tue money TO run the state. They
would ike to go back to that period.
Until the state Of Oregon escapes
from the clutches Of this element, it
will never 20 forward as it should.

THE FAITHFUL ONE.

In the storm and the strife, when
lightnings of life
Had blasted my deepest endeavor,
She crept to my side when the last
hope had died,
And whispered. Il love you for
ever!"
And the bitter unrest Of a grief
stricken breast
Saw a star through the black shal-
oWs living.
Knew a joy from above in the strength
af that love
That is wounded, and yet is for
giving.
And sorrow now seems but a phan-
tom of dreams.
And peace shall depart from me
never;
Ger Life's Valley of Signs, see! The
light in the skies.-
For she whispers: 'I love you for
ever," Selected.

.AULD LANG SNNE.

1t singeth low in every heart,
We hear it each and all
a song of those who answer not
However we may call.
They throng the silence of the breast
We see them as Of yore-
The kind. the true, the brave, tn
sweet,
Who walk with us no more.
'Tis hard to take the burden UP
When these have laid it down;
They frightened all the joy of life,
They softened every frown.
But, oh, 'tis good to think Of them
When We are troubled sore;
Thanks be to God that such hav
been,
Although they are no more!
More homelike seems the vast un
known
Since they have entered there;
To follow them were not so hard,
Wherever they may fare.
They cannot be where God Is not,
on any sea or shore;
Whate'er betides. Thy love abides,
Our God forevermore!

MY ELDORADO.

Not where the golden gleam
Breaks from the fissured sand,
70 youth ana pleasure seem
Ever on the florid strand
But where sad human life
Calls me to comfort pain,
To soothe the bitter strife,
That love and joy may reign.
There let my brightest dream
OF youthful fancy, free,
Lead on, all golden seem,
My el dorado be.
