THE YOUNG MEN.

Glad be the hearts of the young men
and the feet of them, glad Dc
they
That they walk in the morning mead
ows and dance on the dewy
way;
The strong men, the song men, the
men with the red blood win,
With their heads in the clouds OF
glory, their feet on the hill!
Glad be the hearts of the young men
and the lips of them glad to
sing
With the cry of the battle bugles and
the music of spring;
The brave men, the dawn men, the
men who are iron and thew,
With their hopes in the faroff valleys
where the dreams come true!
Glad be the hearts of the young men,
with the forward looking, the
hope,
Winged with the victory pinions where
the hills stand ope;
The steel men, the real men, the men
men who must fight the fight,
lHelI Itel Oi lie steps VI StdI-pSduii
their soul in the light!
Glad be the hearts of the young men,
with music of morning voice,
Life not world worn burden, but a
thing to rejoice;
The new men, the true men-glad be
the ages they come,
When the old gods sleep in the
trenches and the trumpets are
dumb

RUSH OF TOURISTS.

Railroad men report that the tourist
travel to the Northern Pacific coast is
seceral times as heavy this season as
last. says the Seattle Post-Intelligen-
Ger. 1t will certainly double all pre-
vious records Of travel to this part Of
the country and may treble the best
of them. The preparations made by
the railroads we're by no means up to
the demands, and additions have been
necessary to all trains. Yet the rush
Of tourists is but commencing. Five
or six weeks hence the incomers win
be in very much greater numbers than
now, and when the haryests are over
there promises to be another great
rush.
The exposition at Seattle is respon-
sible for a considerable share Of this

THE PRESIDENTS OPPORTUNITY.

Entirely aside from politics w. J,
Bryan's suggestion to President Tart
that the latter recommend a consti-
tutional amendment providing for the
direct election of senators is a good
one. The suggestion was timely and
It. las been made in such a way THAI
the president will have to declare
himself for or against this great re-
form or refuse to commit himself.
which would be a confession of weak
I ness and indicision.
1t will be interesting to know what
stand President Taft will take. 1t is
true the republican platform does not
advocate the direct election of sem
ators. But it is also known that the
republican platform was in many re-
spects unsatisfactory to the president
when he was a candidate for office.
Ee was hailed as a man of more lib
eral ideas than those represented by
the platform. His nomination to Of
flee was a concession to Roosevelt
and in return for this concession the
"standpatters" of the party dictated
the platform.
If President Taft is anything of a
reformer he will urge the constitution
. a; amendment suggested by his late
rival. Of all reforms needed in this
country a change in the old time
method of choosing senators is the
most urgent Under the system OF
choosing senator's by legislatures the
upper house Of congress has been
filled with men who owe their elec-
tion to the use of money and to ma
chine bosses in their respective states
They are not directly responsible to
their people and frequently show a
contempt for the wishes Of their con-
stituents. Witness Senator Hepburn:
attitude toward the farmers o. Idaho
1t is because the senate Is filled WITH
such men as these that Senator AL
drich has been able to handle the sen.
ale as though the seats were occupied
by manikins. Had the members Of
the senate all been chosen by popu'
lar vote they would have shown more
consideration for the welfare Of the
consumer while the tariff was under
consideration and would not have an
swered me too" to everything sug.
gested by the senate boss.
If President Taft has disliked the
manner in which the senate has re.
vised the tariff upward he will have
a splendid opportunity to show his
feelings by urging the amendment
suggested by Bryan. Will he do it;

TRAINED TEACHERS NEEDED.

The annual report of the county
school superintendent will show thai,
the 81 school districts of Umatilla
county employed 169 teachers during
the past year OF these 81 were men
while 1SS were women. Figures show
ing the total number of teachers in
eastern Oregon are not at hand but
it is safe 20 assume that in the Is
counties east of the Cascades between
500 and 1000 teachers are employed
regularly.
To these teachers is intrusted the
education OF the children of eastern.
Oregon. It is work of the utmost i'm
pcrtance and it is essential that the
teachers should be trained in the best
possible manner for the work they
have to do. Yet by the action of
handful of men in the state senate
money for the future maintenance of
the Eastern Oregon normal school
was denied. SO the school must re-
main closed for the next two years at
least and eastern Oregon will have to
take what can be secured in the way
of new teachers. Good teachers were
already scare and in the future the
situation will become worse, for many
students from eastern Oregon are pre-
pairing to enter the Washington nor
mails this fall and by doing so they
will obligate themselves to teach for at
least three years within that state.
Thankfully Pendleton has a corps
Of very competent teachers, mostly
normal graduates, and many of the
number have been with the local
schools for several years. So this city
at least will not suffer Immediately
from the closing of the normal. But
vacancies are always occurring and in
time the schools are sure to retro
grade unless provision is made for
normal instruction. The country
schools will suffer first by the closing
of the normals because the larger SAL
aries paid in the cities and towns will
draw the normal-trained teachers to
those centers leaving the country
children at the mercy Of unframed
teachers.
1t is going to be up to the people OF
Eastern oregon to see that normal
training is again provided for those
who wish to teach. Furthermore II
will be necessary to provide such in
struction in eastern Oregon, for ex-
perience has shown that a sufficient
number will not go abroad for nor.
NAL training. Unless prospective
teachers can receive instruction ir
eastern Oregon they will try to teach
without proper preparation for the
work or else will do something else.

LOOK AT THE CLOCK AND SEE
 THE REAL TIME
Rowland Company InstaIls the Thrasher System Which Re.ires Hour and Min. ute Hands to Private Life.

How would you like a clock without either hour or minute hand? How would you like clock which tells the time without first compelling you to make a mathematical calculation? How would you like a clock which at s:15 will present upon its face the fig ures 3:15 and nothing more Ten min utes laterayou look and the face of the clock reads 3:25: an hour later. 4:25- This is what the Thrasher clock does The baby can ten the time. The How land Dry Goods Company have just installed a complete system of these clocks. electrically operated. and con trolled by a master clock: not for sale, but for the convenience of their GUS toners and employees.
 The time is operated in a master clock which is on the main floor, and from the clock produced on the base It Is a, self containing clock. making it's own time That is, with full beat. sixty beats to the minute. The seconds are told at the base of the clock, and are arranged in a semi-cir- cle. There are two pointers on cir cle which point to the seconds, only one pointer at a time, the other being covered as the visible pointer tells its story. With each beat of the pendu- lum the second hand advances one notch. The accelerated movement at the bottom of the clock is entirely in dependent of the workings above which manipulate the pendulum and the discharging of the minutes and hours There is. however. small arm which barely touches the mechan- ism of the accelerated movement, reg ulating the pendulum
 The clock is the invention of s. B. Thrasher of Hartford. who is well known throughout the State. having been secretary of the Law and Order League. The plant where the clock is made Is in Manchester, Conn There As another installation in this city at the plant, of the Bullard Machine Tool Company. Here there is a master clock and one secondary clock The Garde Hotel in Hartford has also one of the installments. George Jamie son of Hartford. has charge of the in- stallation at Howland's.
