Calling quorum i'm the Senate Is a
bit of by play that does not much in
convenience the senator and soothes
the constituent. There are people in
every state who keep tab on the roll
calls and if a Senator fails often to
appear the fact is used against him in
campaigns in which there is a contest.
1t is important enough to make every
Senator desirous of figuring in as
many roll-calls as possible, however
much he may be absent before and
after that record is made.
1t happens that during the debate
on the tariff many members suggest
the absence of quorum and the ques-
tion whether a majority of the Sena-
tors are present is settled by the call
ing of the roll. When action is to be
taken on one of the paragraphs of the
bill there is desire to secure as full
an attendance as possible. When a
strong speech is to be delivered by a
member of one of the factions and
the scene in the Senate is largely a
matter of bare desks and deserted
chairs. some one of his partlsans de-
mand the presence of quorum.
Electric bells scattered throughout
the capitol and the office building
sound warnings to absent Senator'S
that they must hustle to the front or
miss getting into the Congressional
Record They rush in from all direc-
tions, their speed being governed

ANOTHER SUGGESTION.

Men who have given the subject
some consideration all realize that the
tariff making method now in use IN
the United States is not what 1t
should be. Right now the entire tar
iff system is being revised and the
whole job is being pulled off within
a few weeks time. AS result SEN
ators and congressman must take
snap judgement upon matters that
are of vital concern to the country.
Efficient work cannot be expected.
AS a substitute for the present
method many economists have sug-
gested that the tariff be revised by a
commission composed Of disinterest-
ed experts. This scheme has never
been looked upon with favor by con-
gressmen. Now measure midway be-
tween the present system and the
commission plan has been proposed.
A writer in the Washington Post
would have each division of the tar
If bill considered at separate ses-
sion Of congress, and revision made
only Of that particular division. In
stead Of having all the schedules
taken up and debated at one time, he
would separate the bill into the fol-
loving divisions: 1, iron and steel;
2, cotton; 3, wool; 4, lumber; S, pa
per; 6. sugar, molasses and agricul-
tural products; Z, sundries.
It is insisted that the action OF
congress in putting all the industries
of the country in the legislative grab
bag. and thus causing periodical bus
mess disturbance-an inevitable incl
dent to general tariff debate-is as
useless a proceeding as for farmer tc
dump wheat seed, barley, oats and
seed corn into one bag and SOW the
mass in the same plot Of ground.
Whether or not the Washington
mans plan would work with success
is a matter upon which opinions may
differ. But it would be an improve
ment to the extent that the various
schedules would receive more thor

DON'TS

Don't attempt to punish all your
enemies at once. You can't do a
large business with a small capital.
Don't say II told you So" Two to one
one you never said word about 1t.
Don't worry about another mans
business. A little selfishness is some
time commendable. Don't imagine
that you can correct all the evils in
the world. A grain of sand is not pro-
minent in a desert. Don't mourn over
fanced grievances. Bide your time
and real sorrow will come. Don't
throw dust in your teachers eyes,
1t will only injure the pupil. Don't
worry about the ice crop. Keep cool
and you will have enough. Don't bor-

RAINFALL AND CROPS.

Observations taken at this point for
the weather bureau show that the to-
tai rainfall for the rainy season thus
far has been $50 inches. This is
slightly more than the total for the
preceding season but is considerable
less than the normal precipitation.
The state conservation commissions
report places the average annual pre-
cipitation for Pendleton at 1850
inches.
On the face of things the lack of
a normal rainfall looks discouraging.
But it must be borne in mind that for
wheat raising which constitutes the
chief industry of this county, heavy
rainfall is not, essential. Experts have
long declared that eight inches Of
rain is sufficient to produce good
wheat crops provided the moisture
can be reasonably well conserved.
That this is true is indicated by the
yield of last year and by the yields
In counties westward from Umatilla
where the average annual precipita-
ton is but little more than eight
inches. For one of the counties west
of Umatilla the average annual rain
fall is but SO inches. But good grain
crops are raised in that county.
But even if Jupiter Pluvius has ne
elected eastern oregon this year the
result will not be greatly felt. Even
should there be less than a normal
crop the exceptionally high price viii
more than offset the loss.

tention as the big exposition. 1t I!
sample OF the new pantaloor
gown. Regarding this very interest.
ing garment the Seattle P.-I. had the
following:
Striking changes are taking place
almost constantly in the character
and style of woman's dress, and the
fact is impressively emphasized by
the pantaloon gown, exhibited here
by Seattle firm of high standing.
The new gown, which is the latest
creation in its sphere, suggests
changes more revolutionary in char
acter.
1t suggests the beginning of modi-
fications in the woman's skirt and
gown which may, by degrees, convert
them into pantaloons. Women have
been moving in that direction for
some time, notably in the matter of
boomers worn by the lady cyclists,
and in the matter of the skirts worn
by lady horseback riders; but the
pantaloon-gown seems to be the first
creation to mark a definite and ra-
tlonal line of progress toward the
complete bifurcation of the womans
gowns.
Of course the woman may accept
or reject the new creation; if they
accept it is the proper and becoming
gown to wear, it may mean the final
passing of gowns and skirts of the
old style, and ultimately the adoption
OF less cumbersome attire by women
everywhere.
Whether women are finally to wear
trousers is not of so much moment
as the question of cutting away some
of the surplusage of feminine attire.
Women wear too many clothes now.
SO do men, for that matter. But the
pantaloon-gown suggests that women
at last is fixing to cut away some of
the "excess baggage" and it may be
after while that the prongs of skirts
and gown will be as skimpily made as
the legs of a mans trousers.

DESTROYING SUNDAY.

The application of absolute blue
laws to Coney Island is only an Incl
dent in a far-reaching revival Of pros
cription. In nearly all sections of the
country efforts more or less success
ful are being made to enforce the re-
ligious observance of Sunday; and to
restrict not tn pastimes of the rich;
but the recreations of the poor.
Since the elements chiefly respon-
sible for this movement are bitterly
uncompromising, it may be well to re-
mind them that they may easily ex-
asperate the people to the point Of
reprisaI. In very few states would it
now be possible to re-enact the an
cient Sunday laws; in most states
a revision of these laws would surely
result in their modification. A sure
way to bring about an overhauling of
these drastic codes would appear to
be a harsh enforcement of them
against a society for which they never
were intended.
Strange as it may appear, religious

held of all our rights and privileges.
There is nothing in the constitution of
the United States on the subject ex-
cept the provision that Congress
shall make no laws respecting n es-
tablishment of religion or prohibiting
| the free exercise thereof" There is
no restriction upon the states in this
respect Not many Of the state con-
stitutions have any comprehensive
clause relating to religious liberty.
For this reason Sunday laws palpably
religious in their nature have been
passed and jLdicially sustained in
most of the states, New York, among
the number, on the avowed theory
that We are a religious people, and
that justification for such acts may
be found in the higher laws.
That there has been a great change
of opinion as to Sunday observance
among good men, even among religi-
Gus men, in the last fifty years, is moi
to be denied. There have been chang
es in our population, in our oocupa.
tions and in our social needs alsC
which are not to be ignored. Put tC

laws that have a religious inspiration
would make a poor showing, and the
chances are that there would be nc

ONLY WORST
WOMEN VOTE.
Former Governor of Colorado De-
clares Mothers Have to Be
Clubbed to Polls.

New York, July 19.-"Only the
dregs of womankind rote in Colora-
do; the mothers have to be practi-
cally clubbed to the polls.
Power was not intended for
woman; influence is more subtitle,
and it is a woman's greatest force.
When woman seeks power it is a
great calamity not only for her
but for the man as we'll.
MY wife and daughter shun pol
itics, as do the majority of the
women in Colorado. l believe that
women want the vote without the
responsibility which the privilege
entails, and l agree that the fran
chise should be granted them, but
/ do not think that the vote is good
for them, nor they for politics"
Such was the opinion expressed
to-day by the Rev. Henry A. Buch-
tel, former Governor of Colorado,
one of the four States in which
women have the right to vote.
DR.. Buchtel came here to preach
Yesterday in Calvary Methodist
Episcopal church.
Doctor Buchtel did not give his
views on woman SUFFRAGE without
showing great reluctance.
1T is a hateful subject to me-" he
said, for once l make any state
ment regarding it all the long-hair-
ed men and short-haired women
will be up in arms to argue about
it. dislike to incur any unneceS-
sary outbursts, but New York is
taking woman suffrage far more
seriously now than Colorado, where
the women have full rights.
They are happy to know that
the privilege is not withheld, but
they are not especially anxious to
exercise the right.
Il will admit there is an inferior
type of women who rush to the
polls as a means of grating, just as !
a certain class of inferior men use
politics for their own ends.
But it is a class of women that
keeps the conservative home wom-
en- away from the polls; the latter
shrink from coming in contact with
this other type.
There are women from the be-
ginning of the world whose wit and
intuition have been valuable in
every line of business, art or poll

iuence not the women of power,

Nolen.

Died July 18th, 8 o'clock a. m. at
her late residence in Monroe City,
Mrs. Emma j. Nolen, aged 76 years,
2 months and 7 days.
The subject of this notice was
born in Culpepper County, Va,
but came with her father and
family to Missouri when only four
years old and settled in Monroe
County. Her early years were sub
ject to the privations and hardships
as well as pleasures that are pecu-
liar to pioneer life. She often re-
ferred with delight to those primi.
tive times, when in conversation
with her friends.
The unusually large family, con-
sisting of the father, the mother,
and twelve children she being the
eleventh, went far towards reliev-
ing the weary tedium, incident to a
sparsely settled country and gave
to all of her early memories a radi-
ant charm which she loved to re-
call. 1t was her lot to follow the
whole family, father, mother, broth
ers and sisters to the grave, except
one, her youngest brother Robert
who was with her in her last hours.
On the End day of October 1855,
she was married to the late John
L. NOlen, a native of Hardin Co.,
KY, who, like herself, was an early
emigrant to Monroe County, Mo,
This marriage was a singularly hap
py one, for 33 years they walked
together without even the shadow
of diScord ever approaching or
passing between them.
God blessed them with ten chill
dren, eight sons and two daughters.
Two sons died in childhood. A son
and daughter died in mature life,
thus, leaving six, five sons and one
who were all present when
death came to their beloved moth
er.
The surviving children are: Mrs.
Mary Norman, Marion F., Sheriff of
Monroe Co., John H., of Jefferson
City, Oliver T., of Kansas, and Mel
yin and Ambrose of Monroe City, |
Who, while they realize their irrep-
lrable loss, have sweet comfort in
