"The thoughts Of men are widened
with the process Of the suns"
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-10-18
JOHN MITCHELLS ADVICE.

John Mitchell, the labor leader, has
long been known as a wise counsellor
Of the man who tolls He has sought
to win for labor the rights to which
Il is entitled yet has always been the
foe of disorder and other disreputable
methods. He is now advising work
ingmen to go "back to the soiP' in as
large numbers as possible.
industrial education is the most
important subject before the laboring
classes today" said Mr.. Mitchell in
a recent interview, land the sooner
they make up their minds to this, the
better they and their families will be
off There is more substantial mon
ey in farming than in any other oecu-
patton, and already there is an enor-
nous drift of the labor population
back to the farm. The development of
the soil will be a great avenue of relief
from the hardships of the city. I
think before long the government will
provide adequate funds to reclaim the
waste lands of the United States and
open them up for settlement. OF
course. when the government under
takes in practical way to reclaim
arid lands and open them for settle
ment, it will take from the cities and
the congested centers hundreds of
thousands of men who now find it
difficult to provide for themselves"
This advice is good and it is only
too bad it will not be followed. 1t is
truly remarkable that people persist
in living in the crowded centers of
population in practical serfdom when
the world is so large and so many
opportunities are open to those who
wish to better their condition. But
it is very doubtful if Mr.. Mitchelrs
advice will be followed to any great
extent. The average workman in the
shops and in the mines will not |
change his lot. His horizon is too |
limited and ways of life too fixed to
permit of his going back to the
'arm."

NEVER HAD PAJAMAs.

"The late Colonel A. X. Mcclure was
a brilliant raconteur" said a veteran
Glover Club man. IN never forget
his pajama story.
Colonel Mcclure told this story at
Glover Club dinner in the old Belle
vue of Philadelphia. 1t was a story
about the Spanish war.
There was a regiment, it seems, re-
cruited from Conshohocken, Cinna-
mison. Wawa and Manunka Chunk,
and the ladies of those Pennsylvania
towns got together after the regiments
departure. and made lot of pajamas
for the soldiers. Pajamas were a new
thing in those days; smart, exclusive,
and so forth; the ordinary man wore
a night shirt.
well, those paiamas, in half doz-
ell big packing cases, went duly Cuba
wards. but no word of their arrival
ever came back. The ladies waited
about a month. They then wired to
the colonel, a genial, whole-souled
ANXIOUS to know If you got the
pajamas last month.
"The colonel had never heard Of
pajamas He wired back:
"'Story is a lie of whole cloth, prob
ably fabricated by enemies to ruin
me political. Admit am not total
a abstainer, but never had pajamas last
nonth ar any other time '"-Phila-
delphia Bulletin.

THE COLLEGE GIRL ATHLETE.

Along with this generation of col
lege girls comes the college girl ath-
lete and why shouldn't it. Could
there be anything more wholesome
for both brain and Drawn than the
contact with nature?. The day of
thinking that a woman's sphere Of
physical exercise is limited to a walk
of a quarter of a mile or step into
miladys carriage for a drive of a
short duration as in the days of our
grandmothers is past and gone. No
longer do the majority of the dainty
feminine sit in their boudoirs, plying
their needle, tramping their bodies
and minds, but not these things are
decried, but on the contrary, recon-
mended as side issues. 1t is well that
every woman should be versed in
some outdoor accomplishment. There
is nothing that so aids and assists
the proper mental development, the
outgrowing of morbid ideas and su-
persensitiveness as being out in the
open, whether it be out on your horse,
walking through the fields, on the
links or swimming. AS for the ply
steal benefits the good derived from
these indulgences stand out a too po-
tent fact to need any convincing
proof in its favor.-Nashville Tennes-
seean.

In considering the liquor question in
this county people should be able to
act without prejudice and with a view
only to the best interests of the coun-
ty The saloons are down and out. "
The liquor men have been thrown
from the saddle and they will never
again ride over the rights of others.
There can DE no just fear of saloon
domination again as long as the local
ortion law stands. Of course prohi-
bitionists will deny this. They will say
that the saloonmen want to regain
control But they don't and no one
wants them to do so.
In this county it is merely question
as to whether the people prefer pro-
hibtion and the attending lawlessness
or a few closely regulated saloons
paying licenses. Thoughtful people
will prefer the latter course because
they would rather see the business
carried on legally than surreptitiously
in blind pigs" They also like the
revenue that is derived from legalizeI
saloons because it reduces taxes and
makes civic improvements possible.
But. some prohibitionists say, the
law has not had fair trial in this
county. Yet it has had very good
test The grand juries have met reg
ularly and have considered all evil
dence brought before them. 1t has
been the privilege of any citizen to
make complaints. 1t has been the pri-
vi,ege of people to employ detectives
to ferret out lawbreaking. Two de-
tectives have been employed, one by
the county and one by private parties.
Several hundred indictments have
been returned against lawbreakers.
Yet Pendleton still has 12 or 13 places
in which according to common fame
liquor is being sold. This is true in
spite of the fact that the officers Of the
county and of the city are men of
more than average efficiency.
The prohibition law may be en-
forced more rigidly than at present
and II should be so enforced. While
It is the law Of the county prohibition
should be enforced as closely as pos
sible. This paper has always stood
for the enforcement Of the law and it
does so now.
But it is the history of prohibition
everywhere that it does not prohibit,
It did not prohibit in Maine. 1t did
not prohibit in Iowa and it does not
prohibit throughout the south at this
time AS purgative, prohibition is
Of value and as such it has done whole
some work in this county. Prohibition
drove the saloonmen from power and
it has bettered moral conditions with
IL this county.
But as permanent thing prohibi-
tion has been found lacking. It will
b. so considered by the people Of this
county, II not next year then at some
time in the future. Other counties
that have not had prohibition may
need it just as Umatilla county did.
But Umatllla county does not need it
new. We have already taken the dose.

Is extremely doubtful whether any
other state in the Union can show
record equal to this The heavy ex-
penditures made show the willingness
os the people of Washington to tax
themselves heavily that their children
may secure educational advantages,
"But expenditures for public schools
are not all the money spent by the
people OF this state for educational
The university, the state
college at Pullman and the various
normal schools are all supported en-
tirely by the state, In none of these
are there charges made
FOR tuition"
That Washington supports its
schools well must be admitted and it
S not a matter of pride with many
Oregonian's just now that Washing
on is training the normal students of
his state.

HE SLEEPS.

(To the Memory of Elmer Harvey)
Another life has gone. All! yes;
There's another vacant chair;
Another form, missed from our side,
Another-crowns to wear.
Another voice is hushed and still;
An Angel vigil keeps,
While brushing way the fallen tear,
We whisper low: "He sleeps
Amid life's duty he was called,
And he obeyed her voice;
Tho aching hearts are left behind,
May we not now rejoice,
That never more will trouble, pain,
Assail him. Hope now peeps
Behind the darkest cloud and says:
''He is not dead-he only sleeps"
May God, in pity infinite,
Now comfort those behind
Those whose hearts are bleeding sore;
May He be more than kind
And teach them patience, faith and
trust,
Tho the shadows nearer creeps'
When the awakening comes they'll
find some day,
He is not dead-no-"only sleeps"
And some fair day in the other land,
When the shadows flee-the light
Will brighter and more clearer grow,
And then therell be no night;
And some day, too, if our lives are
such,
Wen meet where no one weeps;
And know full well the beautiful
truth:
"He is not dead-he only sleeps"
E. L. GOODWIN.

Food and Dairy Commissioner Bail
ey has answered with sarcasm the re-
quest that he do something to help
out the crusade for improving the con-
ditions of dairies. But what can you
expect when a politician is placed in
a position that should be held by an
expert who is free to do his duty as
he finds it. The food and dairy COM
missioner should be an appointive Of
ficer.

THE IDEAL COLLEGE.

President Lowell in his recent ad-
dress at Harvard college said:
at is worth while to consider the
nature of an ideal college as an in
tegral part of our university; IDEAL
not in the sense of something to be
exactly reproduced, but of a type TO
which we should conform as closely
as circumstances will permit. II
would contemplate the highest devel-
opment Of the individual student
which involves the best equipment or
the graduate. It would contemplate
also the proper connection Of the col
lege with the professional schools;
and It would adjust the relation OF
the students to one another. Let me
take nm these matters briefly in their
order
1.-THE individual student ought clear
" TO be developed so far as possible
both in his strong and in his weak
points for the college course to pro-
duce not defective specialists, but
men Intellectually well rounded, OF
wide sympathies and unfettered judg-
ment. At the same time they ought to
be trained to hard and accurate
though, and this will not come mere
Iy by surveying the elementary princi-
pies ON many subjects. 1t requires
a mastery Of something, acquired by
continuous application.
Every student ought to know IN
some subject what the ultimate sourc-
es Of opinion are, and how they are
handled by those who profess it. Only
in this way is he likely to gain the
solidity Of thought that begets sound
thinking. In short, he ought, so far
AZ in him lies, TO be both broad and
urofound"

THE AMP STAMPS.

No sooner had the announcement been made that Postmaster General Hitchcock had approved the official A.Y-P exposition stamps that oo' jections were wired from several parts of Alaska. protesting against tn use of these stamps on the grounds that they give q false impression of Alaska.
 The stamps show a fur seal stand ing by a cake of ice, cold and bar ren scene we'll designed to give weight to the already prevalent idea that Alaska is 8 country of ice and snow and little else.
 The objections to the use of this stamp on the part of Alaskans are well taken. The men at the head of the A.Y-P exposition are peculiarly tatuous to have suggested or accept ed such a design.
 Ever since 1898 when exaggerated tales were told about Alaska's climate by disgruntled gold seekers, this country has had to contend with the false and hurtful belief general in ,he states that it is a dreary Arctic waste. By slow degrees the truth is heinz dissemenated. The design of the A-Y.P stamps will certainly in some measure give these impressions renewed life.
