EDUCATION WITH PURPOSE

With graduation days approaching it is fitting to repeat the words addressed by Emerson to young men seeking an education. "A tender boy who wears his rusty cap and outgrown coat, that he may secure the coveted place in col lege and the right in che library, is edu- cated to some purpose. There is a great deal of self-denial and manliness in poor and middle.class houses in town and country, that has not got into liter ature and never will, but that keeps the earth sweet; that saves on opportunities, and spends on essentials; that goes rusty and educates the boy; that sells the horse but builds the school; works early and late, x x but pay off the mortgage on the paternal farm. and then goes back cheerfully to work again."

legree of vice, immoral ty, ignorance. greed. dishonesty, to ;uch an electorate as exists nowhere else )n the face of the earth"
 It is further sad that the principal reason why the women of the United States do not make more progress in get sing the suffrage is to be found in the fact that the Federal Constitution vests the right to extend the suffrage wholly in the states. Mrs. Harper claims that there is an immense growth of favor lble sentiment for woman suffrage" !" Also that the statement so often made that women no not want the franchise" is no longer we'll founded as there are thousands where few years ago there were tens." THE NEWS ventures the assertion, notwithstanding, that none living to-day will see women voting in this country. It is departure from all precedents so radical and so untried, its results would be so difficult to conJec- ture, that any state or nation can be de- pended upon to hesitate a good while before making the experiment..

PUNISHING MAYNARD BOYS

Keen interest is being shown in the three bills relative to the trial and pun ishment of wayward boys which are now before the general assembly. The prob lem of arresting the progress of our boys who are on the downward criminal path, for one reason or another. and of making out of them decent and upright citizens, is vital one. Judge Mathewson of New Haven spoke very plainly regarding the Connecticut School for Boys, popularly known as the Reform School, when he said recently that he would never sen. tence boy to that place. Other judges have expressed the same opinion, from which it would be concluded that there is something radically wrong with the institution, which bears such an unenvi- able reputation among judges of expert ence, fairness and consideration. Such conditions should have some influence on the decision of the general assembly in the matter of the three bills now be- ing discussed.

SHOULD WOMEN VOTE

The agitation for women's suffrage Ras assumed more positive proportions recently that ever before. After having been made sport of by the masculine element of humanity since its beginning 1t is now being taken seriously by at least portion of the stronger sex. Con- siderable comment and discussion has followed the declaration of Mrs. Eda Husted Harper recently as follows:
 Men are much alike in all parts of Ihe world, and, in the mass, they do mot believe in granting equality of rights to women. The conditions III the United States are intolerable; and it is disgrace to our Federal Constitution that it gives one class of citizens the power to keep another class forever dis franchised, and this, too, by bare ma 1ority vote. This most vital question, which should be decided by superior, elected representative body, is left to the irresponsible masses, to conglomerate caf every nationality, every color, every

CANOE FOOLkILLER

Even thls early in the season reports are appearing in the newspapers of cases of drowning on the lakes and rivers of the state. It is not neces- sary to read many of these accounts to notice that it Is the canoe which causes the catastrophe in large majority of cases. It is also noticeable that some such phrase as this, which is now at hand. enters, into them all, "Dodd could only swim with difficulty while LaBelle could not swim at all," It also happens in 8 large number of cases that the drowned persons are girls and have had no experience either in manipulating a canoe or swimming. As a matter of fact the canoe is recognized as the most precarious of all boats and safe only for one who has had experience or else one who is prepared 70 take care of himself in case he has to strike out for himself in the water. It is foolhardy for young children, women or others who cannot swim to risk themselves i'll canoe. The same warnings are seen on every hand each year but the drowning accidents appear with the same unfaillng regul- arity showing, not only that the canoe is fool-killer, but that there is no scarcity of candidates.

FROM THE FARMERS STANDPOINT

The article appearing on the first page of TEE NEWS this week on tuberculosis in the dairy will be of interest for more reasons than one. It is a question of vl- Sal interest, both to the farmer, who may lose large proportion of his dairy if he decides to call in the officials of the state department of agriculture to test and de- stroy his diseased cows, and to the con- sumner in the city. whose health and the health of whose children is threatened if the tubsrculous cows are not destroyed.
 The views which are most often to be found in the papers and magazines on this subject originate with those who have studied the question from the standpoint of conditions existing in the cities Consequently they appeal to the farmers to fulfill certain requirements for the improvement of their milk by sanitary methods, etc.. without consid- country The farmer himself rarely has anything to say i'll the papers as to his view of the matter. If he did, he might ahrow a good deal of light OH the subject of increased cost of producing milk and the absence of proportionate increase in price paid him for his product by con- sumers in the cities. There is no dairy farmer who has not discussed this sub. ject with his neighbors and agreed on certain facts which are self-evident to hhem, but which have not yet penetrated to the big metropolitan centers whence is proceeding the cry for purer and more sanitary milk. In this connection the @'Figures From Farmer" in the next column to the aforementioned article, will have additional interest

COMING OF MEMORIAL DAY

To no other persons does Memorial Day have the same significance as to she veterans still among us. Reference Is often made to the fact that their ranks are thinned with every year and that those who remain are white-halred and bens with years. But it is certain that none who retain their faculties have forgotten those years of the country's s danger when they bravely shouldered arms and marched to that nations de- fanee7 not then as bent and gr1zzled veterans but an astonishing proportion
 of them.as slim young fellows between the ages of 16 and 25. Yet, boys though many of them were, they were fired with a height of patriotic ardor and devotion
 shat created armies which in those terri ble years passed through hardshlps and fought battles that would have tried the nnestle of seasoned veterans. That some of them are alive to-day, after nearly half g century, is additional proof of Eheir vitality and strong manhood, and zas long as they remain 1t will continue to be a privilege to unite with them in paying tribute to those countless thou asands of comrades who left their homes dn the North never to return; who lie in nnknown, unmarked graves in the South to-day, but whose memory will ever re- main green as that of the brave and faithful who sacrificed their lives on the altar of th@ir countrv a"

CHRIST CHURCH CENTENNIAL

The celebration to-day of the one hun a1redth anniversary of Christ Episcopal Church at Sharon is a notable event. The church has had a splendid history. Organized during the last year of the life of Bishop Abraham Jarvis, the sec ond bishop of the Connecticut diocese, its subsequent work has been conducted under the oversight of Bishops Thomas ChnEch Brownell, John Williams and Chauncey Bunce Brewster. The church aaas also been fortunate in its pastors, Rev. D. Parker Morgan, the present minister in charge, being typical of the sterling characters who have made the church an exceptionally strong power in Ehs community for good-and God.

CIGARETTES MUST GO

"The cigarette must go," was the unanimous decision of 181 boys, inmates of the John Worthy reformatory school in Chicago, who attended an "anti- cigarette meeting" at that institution recently. All but five Of that number raised their right hands to acknowledge that cigarettes had been the original cause of their wrongdoing. The action of these boys not only points in undeni- able fashion to the evil that cigarettes can do when habituallY indulged in by boys under age, but it illustrates the growing sentiment that Cigarettes must go."

it Won't Be Long

It won't be long before they're gone; Not one will be alive Who fought for us iu those sad years From sixty-one to five. Their ranks grow thinner every year; On each Memorial Day We find that death has sounded taps For comrades passed away. It won't be long before they're gone, Beyond life's fevered fret; But sacred shall theIr mem'ry be,
 We never can forget How grand their rally round the flag In manhood's splendid prime. An! many fell, but few are left To tell of that dread time. It won't be lorg before they're gone; Sadly, with hearts bereft, Wen gather some Memorial Day
 With not one veteran left. God of our fathers, who hast led
 Their lives 70 victory through, Spare them to us yet many years

EXTEND THE PROJECT.

In leading out in the movement to
have the UmatiIla project extended to
the lands west of the RI er Pendleton
is doing right This city IL the COM
mercial center of this great region.
III is the older brother of the towns OF
this county. 1t should do all it can
for the development of all its terri
tory. 1t will.
t OF course from a standpoint of the
immediate present it would be better
to have the waters of the Umatilla
used for watering the dry farming
lands in the closer vicinity of Pen
dleton. But then the bonanza farmers
who own the wheat lands are satisfied.
They only scott at suggestions made
for their benefit and are perfectly
content to let the Umatilla river, which
! is their birthright, be taken from
them and used to water the desert to
the westward. When a few years
from now they wake up and flnd that
the water has all been used they will
have themselves alone to blame.
As far as the East Oregonian is
concerned it is disposed to favor de-
yelopment of every kind. This paper
has advised frequently the use OF
water upon the lands in this vicinity.
| L ardently favors the reclamation by
the government of the lands west of
the Umatilla river. If there is to be
conflict as to who gets the water,
Let him get who has the power
Let him hold who can"

THE FIGHT Is ON.

When corporations mix in politics
they do not usually go out openly to
fight. Their plans are laid in secret
and efforts are made to conceal their
motives and their plans. The real fac
tors seldom go upon the scene in per-
son. They are represented by at
torneys" and by other workers who
get busy when their respective strings
are pulled Most well informed peo-
rle understand how these things are
done nowadays.
Immediately following the East Ore
gcnian's explanation Saturday of the
real issue in the mayorality race one
fellow was set to yelping in behalf of
the interests that are back of DR.
.Swinburne's candidacy for mayor.
However he is a lesser member of the
pack. he has the role of the Gutter
Pup, and his ki-yi will do no harm.
\ year ago he yelped in the same key
against the granting of the franchise
to the Washington-Orego company
but he yelped to no avail, because
Pendleton wanted all the electric COM
panies it could get and still does.
To devote any further attention to
,.,,.o.s fellows efforts would DE a waste
O., time. However it is to be antici-
pated that heavier members of the
corporation pack will be turned loose
shortly After they get busy the East
Oregonian will then be glad to take
UP more fully the subject of the re-
lations of the Northwestern gas &
electric company and of the Byers
milling company to the mayorality
fight This paper will do so for the
purpose Of throwing as much light
as possible upon the subject in order
that when the voters of this city elect
mayor on December they will
know what they are about.
