EGGS BY THE POUND.

By fixed tradition anything pertain
ing to the egg industry is a most
amusing joke-the older the egg the
more irresistible the joke. It is not
surprising. therefore, that a New
York officials proposal that eggs be
sold BY weight rather than number
should be greeted with loud editorial
laughter. OF course eggs vary in
size, the editors admitted, but after
all eggs is eggs" and 1t is their ma
ture to be sold by the dozen. The
way mother bought eggs is good
enough for us.
Hopeless, slavish conservatism this;
egg progress Is slow and tortuous We
denounce doctored scales and short
weights, fake bottles. strawberry box
es with high bottoms; we have a
wholesome contempt for the grocer
who puts all the big peaches on top
and mixes sand in the sugar. But we
buy eggs by the dozen regardless OF
size until the very hens have seemed
TO see the futility OF laying large eggs
and the omelet languishes and fades
away.-From Success Magazine.

willing, and so my ties to this city
need an introduction to many of our
citizens who are lof the substantial
kind. They know that II my slogan
was put into an epigram it would
read. "I am for Redmen," only diff
fering from that OF Henry Georges
by the qualifying adjective. And
since / feel such a responsibility on
my soul for these people who are here
in our midst and are here to stay,
should I not have right to say along
with others what shall be doled out
to them and what temptations shall
be put before item. I say it is "up
to Pendleton" in a great measure to
make of these people sober. law
abiding citizens or to make of them a
menace to the community and misery
to themselves. No merchant in PEN
dleton but will bear me out in the
statement that the sober, Christian
Indian will meet his obligations of all
kinds better than the old drunk
Then this puts another side on this
question of so-called home rule.
Whose home is it? And where is my
home? SO let's be fair and open
minded and willing to bear both sides
of question, till public opinion, that
solver Of all questions and that which
makes and has made all our laws, is
sufficiently educated to swing to the
proper place.
Very truly yours,

Pretty good world. with its troubles

Pretty good world, with a song for a

Sunlight that streams through the

There were great deeds unrecorded;
there is little cause to doubt it,
But poor Clio couldn't know ii unless
someone Dragged about IT
So there's just one word I'll whisper
If you really think Of rising:

If you want a thing, you mustn't wait

There's one good way to get it. It's
a fact there's no Disgusting:
It's a thing Of little moment. is your

You may be a bully sculptor, or

"FOR REDMEN."

Pendleton Ore. oct. II. 1910.
Editor East Oregonian.
Pendleton, Ore
Dear Sir:-I most graciously ask
you for the privilege to make a few
statements. Two other citizens Of
Pendleton with myself are RESPONSE
BILE for inviting the synod Of Oregon
to meet in Pendleton this year since
we gave the invitation at Newberg
Ore. Those were Rev. w. L. Van
Nuys, then pastor of the local Pres
byterian church, and Hon. ]. W. Ma
loney, an elder in that church.
AS one of those three / felt tre-
mendously responsible for how this
body of educated, keen, lynx-eyed
men should be received and entertain
ed and Of the impressions they should
bear away from our great inland EN-
pire and fair city. In their commu
nications sent you yesterday, and in
resolutions adopted by the synod,
their impressions relative TO all have
been made plain and their position
on the great problems of the state
has not been left in doubt in the
minds of any one. In these, as a
member of the synod, l heartily con-
cur. But over and above this l am
a citizen of Pendleton and must be
considered as such, as well as every
other resident of the county who does
all his business and gets his mail in
Pendleton. Then must we not only
ask but demand, a little voice in
what and how and who as to the
things done there; and as to what its
citizens allow to be done and wing at
it in a way. 1 have been in and near
Pendleton for over eleven years and
expect TO be here many more, God

THE LAST SUMMERS DAY.

B1ueblrd just a-wishin' for a cool
breeze from the west,
And the mockin' bird too drowsy for
TO sing his level best;
And the sparrow just a-scoldin' of
the young ones in his nest,
And the river rocks to sleep the
water lilies.
Rose leaves for loves pillow where
soft the shadows creep;
Leave him with the lilies, in clumber
cool and deep;
Summer has been kind to him to kiss
his eyes to sleep
Leave him in rosy dream for
ever:

Spirit of Compromise an Union

London, Jan. 2s.-The idea of a compro-
-.ise has taken a firm hold on the Unionist

esreins his Radical allies and take counsel
with the Caionist leaders in the work OF a
reasonable reform of the House Of Lords,
which the whole country is desirous OF see
ing accomplished.
The Daily Telegraph" advocating this
course, declares that an aristocratic second
chamber is always more satisfactory TO the
masses than a mere ''plutocratic assembly
ruch as the American Senate" and insists
shet any reform must provide ample Sc
eurity against the misuse OF budgets by
wrapping up legislative matter in financial
forms in order 10 escape an efficient second
chamber vote. For this purpose. the paper
suggests, it might be necessary TO create
an impartial authority like the American
Supreme Court 20 determine disputed cases.
The JTnionist Standard likewise admits
that the elections are a 70 party triumph,
either on the question OF the Lords or tariff
reform. and says that Mr.. Asquith will not
appeal in vain 10 the public spirit of tho
Inionist party 70 help him and the ma

that the industrial centres have refused TO

Grady's Opposition Fails to
Block Confirmation, HozeeUer.
[By Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

By Telegraph to The Tribune.l
Albany. Jan. 29.-,For few moments to-
day it looked as if Senator Grady would
hold up the confirmation of George Foster
Peabody as a member of the Saratoga Res
eryation Commission, on the ground that
he was not a Democrat as he did that of
Herbert Z. Cook when the Governor ap-
pointed the State Highway Commission
last year. But after ohjeeting vigorously
10 Mr. Peabody's appointment as a Demo
crat Senator Grady finally eeased pro-
testing and the appointment was confirmed
Senator Bracket brought on the incident
by asking the Senate to confirm the ap-
pointment of Mr. Peabody, General Ben
jamin +. Tracy and Frank n. Godfrey, of
Olean, whom the Governor appointed last
night. Senator Grady stood meditatively
while Senator Bracket was making his re-
quest
Pretty close that's pretty close" he OBJ
served
Close TO what?" euerled Senator Brack-
EFT.
"Wen. close to Saratoga and close to
the G. Q. F." retorted Grady.
Il don't know which OF these gentlemen
is supposed to represent the devoted body
of patriots to which I belong. Not Cen
era1 Tracy and not Mr.. Peabody. if I can
guess. I object 10 the confirmation"
Senator Emerson thereunon was seized
with an inspiration. He declared that Mr..
Peabody was d resident of the district he
was supposed to represent. but he had
not been consulted" about the Immediate
confirmation and so he must object.
Senator Bracket again said he didn't
know much about the politics of the com
missioners, but he knew they were esti
nsable gentlemen of eminent position, and
could see 20 reason for delay Senator
Grady maintained that If Mr. Peabody
was supposed to be the minority represen-
tatiye. he'd have to see If he is on our
roster and look u2 his record for the
last fourteen years"
"Td much rather have as our party repre-
sentative a. very ordinary citizen who was
a good Democrat than an eminent gentle
man who was a very ordinary partisan"
declared Grady. There are plenty of
good men. too, but the Governor can't
seem to see it. It's lamentable that his
eyesight is so poor
