WILL BENEFITTHE White MAN
AS WE'LL AS THE INDIAN

A farmer came to Detroit last
Saturday and renewed a mortgage
with which he had been strug-
CLING for number of years. A.
ter he had completed the making
of new papers, he remarked !:
"Well, the saloons are now closed
in Detroit, and l believe | will now
be able to meet these payments
as they become due and not be
compelled to renew this mortgage
again. Here was a man who is
not Temperance crank'. but
from his own experience he is
not to be classed among those who
believe the saloon necessary to
to the success of business nor the

HAVING Fun WITH US.

American tourists have become the
butt of German humor in Berlin this
season. Native funmakers say that
an American may be spotted at sight
by his shaven face, padded shoulders
and clothing built in such roomy fash
ion as to give the wearer a stumpy
appearance and make the skinny APP
pear broad set.
The field glasses Americans carry
also amuse them, the same article be-
ing reducible to opera size or capable
of being prolonged into telescope big
enough to view the comet. An Ameri-
can glass in action is fully as big as
the man behind it, according to the
German view
Another thing that delights the
caricaturist is bunch of Americans
letting off enthusiasm. They cheer
every parade in which royalty figures.
and when it is over they rush back
to Inter den Linden to throw up their
hats and wave their canes at the en-
peror returning to the palace.
The fun-making is good natured
and the Americans poke it back with
something added for good measure.
one American girl characterized the
German beer-fed type of native as a
man whose, clothes always looked too
narrow 1t is noticed also that the
popularity of the national beverage
suffers partial eclipse in the tourist
season by the prevalence of Ameri-

WASHINGTON MIDNIGHT CLUB.

THE death of Jesse Overstreet, for
mer representative from Indiana, re-
calls that he was one of the few sur
vivors of the Ebbitt House Midnight
Club, as We called it," remarked
Francis Gordon last night.
Back in 1894, when Overstreet was
beginning his congressional career,
there was a nightly assembling Or
congressman and others in one cor
ner of the Ebbitt next to the parlor
Captain Dahford, a brave o.I sJ.u4e.,
member from Ohio, was really tGc
charter-member of the cl1S. He
would reach his favorite seat about
1880 o'clock each night, smoke his
cigar, and soon be joined by fellow
members, like Stephenson of Michi-
gan, brother of the Wisconsin sena-
tor; George Steele, then a member
from Indianas Hugh Belknap,s repre-
sentative from Chicago and son of
General Belknap, secretary of war in
Grants cabinet; Frank Gessner and
Overstreet, who, Ns young man and
new member, enjoyed the story tell
ing of the veterans. So regular were
lAtSe hight COIl'bCdllOllS llldl certain
guests came to view it as a regular
institution, and then the name of
Midnight Club was suggested and
accepted.
Jesse Overstreet, in his after years
of prominence, used to refer with
much feeling to the things he learned
in those midnight club sessions, and
during his last visit to Washington
he talked it all over, when it was re-
called that he and George Steele
We're the only congressional surviv-
ors. Overstreet was sick when last
here. but he hardly thought his death
would come so soon, even as he re-
counted the deaths of all others of the
little gathering within a few years.
"Danford died in 1899, while Bel
knap, after leaving the house, en-
tered the army as paymaster, and
died in the Philippines. Stephenson
was an old man, and died a few years
later so that Steele is the survivor

man from this state. He is a typical
machine politician and was largely
credited with having brought Ormsby
McHarg to oregon to bamboozle or
To bribe legislators into breaking the
pledges they had made their constitu
ents regarding the senatorship. 1t is
safe to say that Williams ran the
Polk county assembly or could have
done SO had he wished. Now the
question is whether it is better to
have officials nominated for office by
such men as Williams or by the peo-
PIE at large under the direct primary,
Is it better to have legislators, as
SCISSORS and judges selected by petty
bosslets and chosen for particular
reasons" or should such officials be
chosen by the people direct and so
made responsible only to the people?
To the East Oregonian there is but
one answer to this question. 1t is
far better to have officials responsible
oVly to the people. Then they should
be chosen by the people, direct.
Nor is this a partisan matter. 1t
is a question that pertains to good
citizenship.

THE MAN WHO WINS.

Keeping up life is the thng-life.
or vitality, or "the vital spark" words
that seek in vain to express a mean
ing which we all know as fact. How
to preserve our vital force is the
problem. The days work is to be
done. We are to keep going We
are nothing except in action, and ac-
tion depends on our force. When
about all our force is spent we must
rest. Then the cause ceases to pro-
duce effects while we are resting.
1t is of prime Importance to be
strong enough for our task. When
Nature cannot. catch her breath for
us we have overdone it. Our vitality
seems so much a matter of course that
we do not give it much thought till
it begins to fail us. Our force is the
to-be. Our not-to-be is death. Our
strength is at the base of everything.
Get that in mind and think about il.
You will then begin to look after your
strength. You will see to it that you
get enough sleep, good food and food
that keeps you up.
You will be frightened when after
doing a thing you do not come up
again The very foundation of your
career is slipping. Vitality does not
necessarily mean noisy, gross, muscu-
lar ability. 1t means power to do the
days work. Some work in pounding
boiler rivets: some marching in a reg
iment, some looking in at a microscope
or teaching, or driving a pen. In
either case it is life, fresh vitality
contributed by heart and soul the
original creative source, to the worlds
want. Whatever the demand that
| one is trying to meet he must keep up
! 10 it, If he cannot he is failing. Sue
cess is in keeping up the supply of life
to the worlds market for life.
In fact all markets are simply
| places where life Is bought and sold.
Advancing years do not at first neces-
sarily deplete life. Especially if one
! can adapt himself At 60 muscular
! life may begin to fail, but one may
have fixed himself SO that his brain
| does the work mostly and not his
body. Brains often grow. as with
! Gladstone or Theirs, for examples,
clear down to old age. But both these
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1910-06-27

old men were very much alive all the
while.
There are so many leaks to drain
vitality. Not only foolish indulgence,
but such things as worry, mlsan-
thropy. malevolent affections like
anger and hatred. The lack of faith
in Gods rule, and a despairing fore
look. a hopelessness about the world
cut out vitality by the chunks. Hope
is itself life, and while there is life
there is hope Love and kindness are
to life what spring grasses are to the
flocks and herds. We best keep up
life by helping other lives as the
monks of the Alps never froze while
rescuing the traveller.
To think on life and living issues,
To mingle with other lives that are
warm with generous purpose and use
full with worthy plans is to keep ones
self alive. Beware of the deadand-
alive loafer for he is a blight. Look
in at the club windows and see them,
but turn away quickly and get active.
The club windows are full of men
dead while they live.
Be thankful that you can start off
your doorstep with an errand. Err
rands are like diamonds. In the bet
ter and higher sense, live while you
live for tomorrow-you will be more
likely thereby to live. Dream of dy-
ing in the harness and you put far
/ off the day.-Emory ]. Haynes.

SIecDy Sentry Is n Hero.

London.-A romantic story is told
of Sir Roger Palmer, a Crimean vet
eran, whose death was recently an
nounced. Sir Roger was a lieutenant,
aged twenty-five, when the battle of
Balaklava, famous for the charge of
the six Hundred" was fought. The
night before the battle he was going
the rounds Of the camp when he
found a sentry of his regiment, the
Eleventh Hussars, asleep at his post.
Although he could have procured the
mans trial by courtmartial, which
would have meant a death sentence,
Palmer decided to say nothing
Next day Palmer led his troop i'm
to the Valley of Death" A Russian
cavalryman was about to run his
sword through the lieutenants body
when a trooper of the Hussars dashed
up and Glove the mans skull to the
chin.

THE CONVENTION CITY.

While here for their convention the
bankers were courteously and ap-
propriately entertained by the local
bankers acting under the auspices of
the Commercial association. That
they were well pleased with the
treatment accorded them was made
manifest by the visitors on many oc-
casions. Certainly it was we'll worth
while for Pendleton to entertain those
guests 1t is worth while for the city
to take pains to entertain any con-
vention that comes to this city. 1t is
good civic policy and besides-it is
the right thing to be courteous wheth-
er it pays or not. Pendleton now has
the reputation of being the best con-
vention city in eastern Oregon. This
because the city has adequate accom-
modations for big crowds and be-
cause the city entertains visiting con-
ventions. Let us maintain this repu>

York, ragged the bellboys, jawed the

everything else.
One afternoon he walked over to
the porter and said: Here, you; I'm
going to quit this town and go back
to New York. where I can get some
decent service. / want you to buy
me two seats in a parlor car on the
o'clock New York train. Get me
two seats now, and meet me at the
station with the tickets. I want one
chair to sit in and one to put my feet

just before it pulled out. One Of the
seats was in car No. 8 and the Other
was located in car No. 4.-From the

CONSERVATION.

Speaking at the bankers conven-
ton ]. ]. Browne of Spokane attacked
the conservation policy in an address
from which the following is an ex-
tract:
But what do they mean by con-
servation. The exponents of the doc
trine say they would conserve our
timber, they would conserve our coal,
they would conserve our oil and they
would conserve our water power. But
how can we conserve our water pow
er better than by building dams, stor-
ing up the water, letting it loose
again to turn wheels, operate facto-
ries, move trains and reclaim land"
Apparently Mr.. Browne has the idea
that the conservation policy looks to
blocking the development of natural
resources. He should know better.
Conservation forces such develop
ment. Take for instance the case of
water power sites. Under the con-
servation policy the government al
lows corporations or individuals to
file upon power sites, but it insists
that the power must be developed
within a reasonable time or the title
reverts to the government Right at
our door We have an illustration Of
this. The Washington-Oreg COM
pany has a power site upOh the Wal
la Walla river. 1t must develop that
power within two years time or else
their rights will be lost. In other
words if that company cannot or will
not develop that power then it must
leave the field and let some one else
do so. Such a policy as this promotes
development instead of retarding it.
But the greatest thing the conser-
walton policy does is that it prevents
monopolization. Had conservation
tactics not been adopted all the power
sites Of the country wouIu nave been
gobbled up. The good power sites
were fast being taken by power
combine when Roosevelt and Pinchot
got busy with their conservation
scheme. Had the power trust been
allowed its own way all the good
power sites would have been corrall-
ed. The trust would then have CON
served" that power. The power
would have been developed when the
trust got good and ready. Thai
power would have been developed as
the monopolized timber has been cut
and just as the monopolized coal has
been mined.
The conservation policy does no
block development It aims to pro
mote development Of the natural re
sources. But that policy does pro
vide that until people are ready t.
actually develop resources those re
sources shall be held by the govern
ment. The government is the bes
custodian Of the undeveloped re
sources.
From an economic standpoint tn
conservation policy is absolutel
sound. 1t is opposed only by thos
who have selfish reasons for their ac
tons or by people who do not thol
oughly understand the meaning Of III
conservation movement.

Lightly turns to thoughts Of love.
In the spring is heard the cooling

II the spring doth SLY Dan Cupid
In his aim take special pride,
So of spring crops just the sweetest
Is the lovely April bride.
Oh, sweet is the love of springtime,
When the heart is gay and young,
When the melody of song-birds
Finds its echo in loves tongue,
Days when tears are mixed with
smiling,
Whatsoever else betide,
Fairest of the years whole season
Is the radiant April bride.
