THE CALENDAR.

81 my time by times that l
meet thee;
These are my yesterdays, my NOR
rows, moons.
And nights; these my old moons and
my new Moons.
Slow fly the hours, or fast the hours
do flee,
If thou art far the old bird tunes are
no tunes;
If thou art near, the wintry days are
Junes-
Darkness is light, inc sorrow can
not be.
Thou art my dream come true, and
thou my dream;
The air | breathe the world wherein
l dwell;
My journeys end thou art, and thou
the way;
Thou are my heaven and thou art my
hell;
Thou art my everything judgment
day"

SCOTS

She was a charming debutante, and
he was a somewhat serious chap, Con-
versation was rather fitful, so he de-
cided to guide it into literary chan
nels.
Are you fond of literature" he
asked.
"Passionately," She replied. 81 love
books dearly"
''Then you must admire Sir Walter
Scott" he exclaimed, with sudden an
imation. "Is not his Lady of the
Lake equisite in its flowing grace and
poetic imagery? Is it not

WHY N~HSREPRESENT IT.

Such papers as the Oregonian are
out to create sentiment against he
Initiative n to accomplish this pur-
pose they seem willing to resort to
any sort Of trickery. An example Of
this is found in the manner in which
the Oregonian has been deliberately
disappearing the provisions of the
corrupt practices act.
Under the corrupt practices act, as
the East Oregonian has previously
pointed out, newspapers are required
TO designate paid political matter as
being such. They cannot use paid
political advertising and palm it off
upon the public as regular news mat
ter or as editorial expressions. 1t is
a good provision and no reputable
newspaper will object to compliance
with the same.
Yet so deep is the hatred of the
Oregonian for the initiative and for
other popular measures, that instead
of commencing his law it has been
trying to ball up" the newspapers of
the state with reference to the law.
First the Oregonian published a story
In which the provisions Of the law
were enormously set forth. That story
was to the effect that all newspaper
articles favorable to a candidate or
measure, must be marked as paid adj
vertising, regardless Of whether a
newspaper received money for the
same or not. such a construction
would be ridiculous because il would
destroy the freedom Of the press ut
terly. The mistake, If it was a mis-
take, was needless because the Ian
guage Of the corrupt practices act is
plain and any schoolboy should be
able to understand It. The law states
in substance that paid matter must
be designated as paid advertising.
Yet despite the fact that the Ore
son Journal has pointed out the mis-
take made by its morning rival the
O%regonian continues it's policy Of mis-
representation. Only Saturday it re-
produced from the Eugene Register an
editorial in which the Register, act
ing under a false impression as to the
law, criticised it.
The o%regonian is so stepped in pre-
JUDGE towards the initiative that it has
become blind to all considerations OF
truth and fairness. Either his OF
else the oregonian actually resents
that provision Of the corrupt practices
act which relates to newspapers. II
n latter version is correct it is al
n more to the discredit Of the Ore.

THE ART OF OVERLOOKING

Nobody can live long in the world
and not admit that the words Moth
ing for nothing" contain a sad amount
of truth. He is of course a fool who
does not count the 20 so far as the
future is concerned; but scarcely less
a fool is he who does not overlook
past costs. If we have n good or
delightful thing in this life, at all
hazards let us not faint our enjoy
ment by considering what we gave for
it. Was it more than we could af-
ford? Never mind; we have afford
ed it, We have made our purchase. Let
us take off the ticket with. the price
and burn the receipt. There are items
in life's ledger which must be over
looked unless we would spend all our
days in balancing closed accounts

A BUSINESS ASSET.

Joseph W. Gibson, publisher OF
THE Haberdasher," was approached
by an old-time friend recently who
said to him:
Joe. do you know of anybody 10
whom I can sell my business? I want
to retire. The business is prosperous
and 1 am we'll known"
Mr.. Gibson told his friend he did
not know of anybody who would want
to buy the business, and then sud-
denly turned toward him and fired
this question at him point blank"
What have you got to sell?"
The question so surprised his
friend that he stammered out this re-
ply:
why. Joe, everybody knows me.
You know my business is very profit
able. You know that 1 have all the
money I need. You know that I stand
well in the trade. Do you mean to
say that my business is worth moth
ing-that I have nothing to sell?"
Yes" replied Mr.. Gibson, you
can dispose of your stock Of mer-
chandise at a reduced price, and
that's all you nave got to sell. Come,
now. what else have you got to sell?"
You have a good name among a
few people who know you-you have
sold good merchandise in a good loca-
tion-but the consumer knows neither
your name nor any brand Of mer-
chandise you sell.
"a name that's an asset in business
is an advertised name, and it must be
a good name.
Merchandise that commands
steady prices is advertised merchan-
dise-and it must have a good name
also.
No. my friend, there is no good
will to sell In your business because
you have never advertised"
The friend Of Mr.. Gibson who told
ME the above story vouches for Its
accuracy.
Mr.. Gibson's friend has not yet re-
tired, n is no doubt thinking OF
some plan to advertise his name and
his merchandise so that the public
will remember both. =.
In this great community the bust
ness that is advertised Is not as well
known as the farmer who lives ter
miles from a country village.-W. C

An advance in rates seldom meets
with favor so it is natural that there
is considerable complaint regarding
the advance made by the telephone
company in their rate on four party
phones. Yet the phone people assert
that ever with the advance Pendleton
is given a very satisfactory rate as
compared with neighboring towns. If
this is true then W. won't notice the
increased charge so much, especially
if the phone company offsets the ad-
vance by an improved service.

~SfiNDERED AGAIN.

Centralia is in the throes of a liquor
fight and as usual some dope" is be-
ing used regarding Pendleton. One
story that is published says Tib Mills,
who visited this city, found ninety va
cant business locations on the main
streets of the city, most of the empty
places being in three story stone and
brick structures" Such stories are
so glaringly false that they would be
amusing We're it not for the fact that
they tend to hurt the city. Some peo-
pie will believe them. But people who
have been in Pendleton of late will
not. None of the $50 teachers who
were here last week will agree with
lib Mills, whoever he may be. They
did not find ninety vacant business
locations. They did not see even nine
vacant locations and the teachers were
unanimous in praising Pendleton as
a thriving. enterprising city.

young woman went into a Skookum-

and at the same time she put them on

the chickens feet were tied, and ask

bit her handkerchief and said. mo,
