THE TRUMPs OF LIFE.

What are the trumps of lifeH
Hearts," said the maiden fair;
For sweethearts, maid, or wife,
Love is beyond compare"
mo" said the heartless f1irt,
Diamonds the trumps shall DO;
Hearts are as cheap as dirt;
Give wealth and power to me-"
NO" said the man blaze,
Clubs are the tTumps we want;
Such gauds for the young and gay,
But clubs for the bon vivant."
Then the grave digger said,
'EVanities soon are past;
The earth shall be your bed,
And spades must win at last"

from the chapter at San Antonio,
Texas Thus closed the first days
proceedings.
On Friday morning the down pour
of rain was terrific for time, but
the delegates and members of the
American Woman's League had
come too far and were too much in
terested in the doings of the great
Convention to be kept indoors by
mere water, and they nearly all
turned out just the same. But in
stead of being taken around ,Kthe
city in open cars, it had to be by
covered cars, which somewhat in
terfered with sight seeing. The rain
had ruined the decorations on the
business houses as well as those at
University City, and our cars were
minus the purple and white with
which they were to have been deco
rated. After a ride of two hous, we
returned to University City, where a
dainty box lunch was served to all
each accompanied by a bottle of
soda water. Delicious coffee and wa
fers were also served at one of the
tents. All of this was served free to
the vast throng of people.
At lunch we attended a meeting
for local representatives presided
over by Mrs. Pearl Adams Spauld-
ing. Here we were taught to sing
the only League song we have at
present, though prize has been offer
ed for a League song for the future.
Pull together is our motto;
Keep together is our creed;
Pull together is the WatchWard
Of the American WOman's
League"
Mrs. Spaulding conducted a question
box for the benefit of the workers.
At the close of this meeting pictures
were taken of the members CLASH
fed into several different groups,
after which everybody had the privi-
lege of shaking hands with Mr.. and
Mrs. Lewis. Tomost of the women
present, think the object of greatest
importance was the man who had
brought about the organization of
the American WOman's League.
Every one seemed concerned in meet
ing him and shaking him by. the
hand. Were he a different man
from just the kind he is, he would
undoubtedly be spoiled. But it real
ly looks as though the man E. G..
Lewis is somewhat different from
ordinary clay. He certainly possess
es the love and respect of a vast
army of women to an extraordinary
degree and is very modest and I'M
assuming in spite ofall EMr. ELewis
is man of only AZ years, and looks
but 80. He is of slight build, light
hair and large deep blue eyes. His
face is as sensitive as that of a child.
Tears of happiness over the great
success of his plans and the First
Convention were constantly coming
to his eyes. He is certainly a genius
dreamer but one who carries out his
dreams himself, with the help of
those he has power to enlist, which
is not always the case, we know, with
those who dream visions. He is a
wonderful organizer a man of ex-
ceptional ability, a fluent writer, and
an orator above the average. Of all
who spoke at the Convention there
was none so easily understood to the
fartheest end of the building.

Abraham Lincoln's greatness was
due largely TO his wonderful breadth
Of view and his magnanimous spirit.
There was nothing small or petty
about Lincoln. He was above the sec
tional and partisan prejudices that
dwarf the average public man. He
was really the president of the south
as well as Of the north even during
wartime His sympathy went out to
the bereaved southern mother as well
as to the northern wife or sweetheart
Of soldier slain. Had Lincoln lived
the history of the reconstruction days
would read entirely different. That
black chapter would have been saved
from the history of the United States.
Compared with Lincoln fellow like
Hepburn of Idaho becomes contemp-
tible indeed. Nearly so years after
the close Of the war Hepburn the
other day sought to fan the fires Of

jected to congress showing a slight
courtesy to the confederate veterans
at their annual reunion and also to
allowing Virginia to place a statue
OF General Lee in the statuary hall IN
the capitol. It is doubtful if the SEN
ate Of the United States ever before
listened to a speech so cheap and
demagogic as Heyburn's effort. 1t is
to the credit Of the senate that when
a vote was taken Hepburn stood ahso-
lutely alone in his position. Very like
iy Hepburn took the stand he did
thinking he would curry favor with
northern people and offset the criti-
cism to which he mas been subjected
because Of his connection with the
Alaska coal steal and other question
able propositions. But he failed mis-
erably. He has only added to his al
ready unsavory record and brought
further disgrace upon the state Of
Idaho.

enemies of the Improvement were
busy night and day with their OBJ
structive work.
At the start the traction workers
had scarcely a fighting chance. De-
feat seemed to stare the committee
squarely in the face. Yet in spite Of
the unfavorable conditions 1t was de-
cided TO make the effort With all
the vim and strength that could be
mustered the movement was started
AT first progress was slow, yet the
movement gradually gained ground.
Under the leadership of Dr. Smith,
Judge Fee and others of the original
committee new men have been enlist
ed in the traction brigade and the So
liciting campaign has been carried on
earnestly and Systematically. AS a
result of the good work done and by
virtue of the loyal and progressive
spirit displayed by the people of this
city the movement is succeeding.
The traction movement is going to
succeed. Mark this. Pendleton is go
ing to do its part towards financing
this timely enterprise and so get in
line to grow and prosper Pendleton
is tired of present conditions. Tired
OF croaking and knocking that does
no good but only Injuries the city.
Pendleton is tired of wallowing in the
slough of depression and pessimism.
We are going to get out. We are go
ing to drive away the spirit of dis
content that for two years or more
has hung like a pail over this little
city. We are going to bring on the
sunshine of optimism and good
cheer. By the grace of God and the
strength of virile people who believe
in the doctrine of self help, Pendle-
ton is going forward-it is going tc
become and remain the commercial
and the industrial center of this part
of the inland empire.

DON'T LIKE CANNoNIsM.

That Speaker Cannon and his meth
DDS are not popular with the people Of
the west is we'll shown by the result
Of the poll just taken by the Chicago
Tribune. By vote of five to one the
editors of republican papers through
out the west voted against Uncle Joe
and likewise against the Payne-Al-
drich tariff bill. This straw vote re-
vcals a sentiment to whicn President
Taft and other leaders of the repub-
lican party may well give heed. The
west is progressive" territory and so
is the middle west. Very likely the
east If properly classified would be
placed in the same category. The
rank and file of the people of the
country do not like the regular" or
ganization. 1t is too apparent that
the REGULARS" serve the big inter-
ests rather than the country.

WE ARE WINNING OUT.

There Is hope for a town when its
people rally to its support as they
have come to the aid of Pendleton in
the traction movement. Though the
fight for a traction system has been
an uphill struggle, waged under the
most adverse circumstances, yet It is
being won. Success is now practi-
cally In sight. With few more days
Of brisk solicitation the coveted goal
will be attained.
The present situation is highly graf
flying to those who have been in the
game since the start The campaign
for the traction fund was begun un-
der discouraging conditions. Some
big property owners from whom heavy
support should have been received
were found either opposed to the
move or else Indifferent as to the out
come. others held back. some through
natural conservatism, others because
Of senseless pessimism. The avowet

THEY ARE BRUTEs, NOT MEN.

That civilization is after all but a
thin veneer covering up the brutal
instincts of man was again shown by
the dastardly attempt to wreck the
Portland-Pendletou local Thursday
Because they had been thrown off a
westbound passenger train some ho-
boes placed a rail across the track
to ditch the eastbound local. It was
through no fault of theirs that the
train was not wrecked and many lives
lost. From what tribe of cave dwell
lers do fellows come that will wreck
train and endanger the lives of in
nocent people in order to wreak re-
venge against trainmen who were only
doing their plain duty? From what
ever clan they spring the would-be
train wreckers are still in the stone
age class. They are brutes, not men
and if they can be caught they will be
entitled to the harshest penalty pos
sible under the law.

NO BONES FOR TWO.

Telephone girls sometimes glory in
their mistakes if there is a joke in
consequence. The story is told by a
telephone operator in one Of the Bos-
ton exchanges about man who asked
her for the number of local theater.
He got the wrong number and
without asking to whom he was talk
ing, said: "Can get box for two
tonight?"
A startled voice answered him at
the other end of the line: 1--WE don't
have boxes for two in stock, but can
have one made for you j few

The local physicians have discover
ed the fourth disease" and it is to be
granted that they will soon have it
upon the shelf. Now if the doctors
can find out why some local property
owners do not contribute to the trac-

they will be rendering Pendleton a
service indeed.
