A BIG "SH.AKE-UP."

At last the long deferred has come
about Speaker Cannon has been
shorn of his power. He is still speak
er it is true, but he is barred from
the committee on rules and his auto
cratic reign is at an end. The events
attending his virtual dethronement
were so exciting that they are classed
as the most interesting the house has
witnessed since the civil war.
Doubtless many things combined
to bring about the overthrow of Can
non. 1t is history that there is al
ways a certain antagonism to the
speaker By the opposition he is as
sailed as a matter of course and some
of his own party always oppose him.
Therefore it is necessary for the
speaker to command the respect and
support of the great majority of his
own partisans. Otherwise the disaf-
fected element of his party will COM
bine with the opposition and over
throw him just as they have done with
Cannon.
Ordinarily the speaker is saved from
such humiliation by party loyalty and
unity. But at the present time the
republican party is not united. There
are two wings of the party. They are
the regulars or conservatives and
the insurgents" or the liberals. At
tween these two elements for the mas
terry of the party. Cannon is reg
ular" and along with others has
sought to browbeat the insurgents and
make them keep step or quit the party.
But so powerful has the insurgent
sentiment become within congress and
out that the insurgents of the house
have been able through combination
with the democrats to upset the power
Of the regulars.
The future course of the quarrel
between the two elements within the
party 10 soIHS " Oe d SupJeCl VI III
tense interest. The fight is not over.
1t will probably be carried into the
next national republican convention.
Which elemtn will triumph or will
either element become dominant?
Perhaps a compromise viii be effect
ed. Again it may be utterly impos-
sible to unite the warning elements
and as a result there may be a COM
plete realignment Of the political
forces of the country.
This much is certain at this time.
A great "shake-up" is underway.

one in which money can be made In
America. 1t is necessary to go to a
Spanish country for that; but the pre-
liminary work can be done in your
home district, unless, of course. you
are living in a flat, where the intro
duction of bull would be difficult
and probably disastrous to the in
stallment furniture. If you are living
on a farm, get into the field with
large bull of pugnacious disposition.
Wave a red cloth at him, and do not
move until he is within two feet of
you. Then step easily and gracefully
to one side while the animal charges
past you. If you are not far enough
to the side you will be somewhat in
commoded by the rush .of the bull,
and when you come out of hospital
should make up your mind to take
up some other profession-say IL
brarian, When you learn to dodge
neatly and surely, begin to practice
stabbing the animal with match.
and after you have worn out eight or
nine bulls in this way you will be
ready for Madrid.

endurance to whistle without stop
for eight hours, he is ready to go to

not go in for it frequently become

GEO. ABE ON ADVERTISING.

In an address before the Cleveland
Ad Club, Mr.. Ade said:
1.-THE chief thing in preparing an
advertisement, If l may judge from
my own brief experience in that line,
is to make your ad convincing. If
your copy does not carry the convic-
ton that you yourself believe in the
article you are exploiting then you
have not prepared a strong advertise
ment. For instance. I used to write
the ads for patent medicine concern
that was pushing a cure for the tobac-
co habit. 1t was my task to write
about the curse of being addicted to
the use of deadly nicotine and how
easily the habit could be overcome by
using the remedy we were placing on
the market. And the stuff had a
large sale because, when 1 wrote the
ads, I was sitting smoking content
edly at cigarette or pipe, in room
thick with tobacco smoke, and I
knew what was writing about"

WHEN IT ALL STARTED,

When Adam met Eve he was bashful
and shy.
Till at last he grew bold and began
to pay court
(yeu may put all your trust in this
faithful report.)
And he stammered and blushed every
time she came nigh.
you're the prettiest girl that ever
have seem
And that's how it started.
When Eve, with a beautiful blush on
her face,
Yielded shyly and sweetly to Adams
embrace,
And put up her red lips for the true
lover pact
(You may set all this down as an alb
solute fact),
She inquired, while he breathed the
fond names on his list:
"Have YOU said that to all of the girls
you have kissed? ?"-
And that's how that started.
When Adam asked Eve if she would
be his bride.
She looked up and looked down, and
she sighed and she sighed,
And she let him take hold of her lily
white hand
(This is history, now. as you must un-
derstand),
Then she said in a voice that was
dulcetly low:
81 must take time to think; tits too
sudden. you know"
And that's how that started.
When they had been married few
years or so,
Then Adam told Eve: Were invit-
ed to go
To a dinner and dance with some
friends down in Nod.
(This is truly authentic, although it
sounds odd.)
Eve replied with sad and sorrowful
air:
81 can't go. Don't you see 1 have
nothing to wear?"
And that's how that started.

A WOMANLY WOMAN.

She stayed at home.
You don't hear of her.
She was too busy to talk.
She was too well bred to brag.
She didn't say she disliked hotels.
She murmured not when Mrs. Rich
drove off.
She didn't declare resort life too
vapid.
She was making school dresses for
wear later.
She was taking her children for
day excursions into the open places.
She had explained all she can of the
flowers, trees and insect life.
She studies some good nature books
aoling with the children before their
excursions.
She has superintended her child
ren's. games and their gardening ef-
forts in addition to her own work
And she's the salt of the earth, y
this woman who is above aping those
with more money, and who rejoices in
fine mind and body, which she puts
to the best possible use.-Philadelphia

such a route. Such a line would pro-
vide an entrance into Grant county
and an outlet for the products of that
interior region. At this time Grant
county is bottled up" Its only con-
nection with the outside world con-
sists in the little line to Baker City.
That line furnishes very roundabout
service for Grant county. A much
more direct connection with the OUT
side world could be supplied through
line to Pendleton.
Then a line southwark would re-
suit in the development and settle
ment of the great area in the south
ern part of Umatilla county. 1t would
also open a way to the timber of that
region which could then be brought
to this city for manufacture. If a
line of any sort is built to the south
ward Pendleton must take steps to
see that saw mills are established
here.
If the Washington-Oregon company
wants to build line southwark the
company may rest assured they will
have the support of the people of
Pendleton and likewise of the terri
tory to be traversed. Go ahead and
build the line. Then when that line
is built construct a line from Pendle-
ton to the Columbia via the Umatilla
project

the builders rather than the people of
this city.

EVOLUTION.

In the early days the frontier stock
man scoffed at the wheatraiser.
When a few newcomers" undertook
to fence up some of the range in this
and to attempt farming they
were laughed at with scorn. The old
timers did not think wheatraisine
would pay and they said the range
would be ruined. Now the wheat
bsrons, fuedal successors of the old
cattle kings, laugh at the irrigation
lists and at the man who attempts
diversified farming. Their arguments
are in a class with those used by the
stockmen against the pioneer wheat
raisers. Irrigation won't do. Neither
will intensified farming pay in the dry
land section. The wheat baron does
not want to see the big grain ranches
broken up. But nature will take its
course in spite of opposition. 1t al
ways does. Some day in the greater
part of Umatilla county there will be
a higher state of agriculture than
prevails at this time.

WHY NOT?

Proper crosswalks add much to the
of a city and they like
wise tend nightly to serve the con-
venience of people during stormy
weather. But the crosswalks in Pen
dleton don't do this. They fail of
this for several reasons. To begin
with crosswalks are entirely lacking
in many places. Where walks exist
they are of wood and are usually so
delapidated as to be of little value.
Pendleton needs more cross walks and
it is the belief of this paper that they
should be constructed of material
more durable than wood. Bitulithic
walks are highly recommended and
they should be very serviceable. The
East Oregonian would like to see some
of the main travelled streets provided
with cross walks of bitulithic or some
other hard surface material. Why
not build a few this spring or sum-
mer?
