FINANCES AND WARS.

DR.. David Starr Jordan is firm in
the opinion that the great financiers
of the world are both able and dis.
posed to prevent war by Withholding
loans or advances of money to gov
ernments for war purposes. We think
however that the financiers have
hardly got that far in their determi-
nation to enforce the peace, although
there is no question that is the tend.
ency of financial sentiment.
Moneyed men recognize that wal

the very essence and spirit Of finan.

and prevent waste. 1t follows thai

of property and against the destruc.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

What in bird life is scientifically
called the "furcula" and in the COM
mon fowl the 'wishbone," Is the un-
ion of what in man are the two collar
bones, the "furcula' receiving the
brunt of the stroke of the wing when
the bird is flying and in changing di-
reotion. In some birds the "furcula
Is very strong; necessarily so. AS
showing its strength, swan has been
known 10 break mans leg by a
stroke of its wing, while the wing
beatings of large birds are dangerous
II they strike the human head OF
face. A large bird, in the habit OF
making sudden turns to the right or
left in flight, must have a "furcula''
capable of standing a tremendous
strain of the wing stroke on the one
side, when the stroke is unaccompan-
led by action of the other. With the
eagle, and birds of that class, which
turn quickly, the "furcula" is a per-
feet Roman arch, at variance with the
Gothic arch, the shape Of the wish

'furcula" is equally strong at all
points, lacking the weakness that
makes the sport Of breaking the
"wishbone" possible. - Indianapolis

pany earnings and to regulate rates
and service. AS the East Oregonian
understands the bill introduced by
senator Malarkey it provides that this
work shall be done by the railroad
commission. on the Surface it looks
like imposing a big job on the rail-
road commission to require 1t to regu-
late all the public service corporations
OF the state. Yet the railway COM
mission may be able to do this work
by employing sufficient force of ex-
perts to aid in gathering information
with regards to the various corpor-
ations that will come under the iuris-
diction of the commission.
The passage of the Malarkey bill
will at least be one step forward,
Then if time shall prove that the rail-
read commission is not the proper
body to regulate other lines of indus
try steps may be taken accordingly.

STRENGTHENING BOURNE.

Not satisfied with the spectacle that
was presented in the senate the other
day senator Abraham is going to con-
.tinue the spit BALI attack on Sena-
tor Bourne. OF course Bourne is not
an issue in the legislature and it would
be better for the state at large if the
senate would devote its time to legis-
lation.
But attacks from such men as
Abraham will not hurt Jonathan
Bourne. They may help him. The
East Oregonian has never been a sup
porter of Bourne but in the enmity
of such men as Albert Abraham and
a few others that could be named this
paper sees a powerful recommends
ton for the senior senator from this
state.
For politicians of the stripe of
Abraham the East Oregonian has no
use, He formerly hailed as a pro-
sressive. but he is now hard AMI fast
with the reactionaries. Last fall he
insisted on running for the republican
nomination fc- governor. He had no
show but his candidacy together with
the candidacy of Col. Hofer divided
the progressive republican strength
so that the assembly candidate won
out in the primary election. In other
words Abraham was a "decoy" can
didate and this paper so denounced
him at the time. Evidently the peo-
pie took the same view of the matter
for Abraham, though his name came
first upon the ballot, scarcely had
votes enough to count. He did not
carry his own county.
If the enemies of Bourne really
wish to defeat him they should ask
Abraham to keep still.

DAYS AND NIGHTS.

There's nothing finer than getting
up early in the morning and feeling
new all over.
The night should refresh one make
one fit for the days duties and joys
Instead of using nights for recup-
Grafton, however. too many of us
seem to think the night was particu.
larly created for pleasure, more OF
less legitimate.
The things we do IN the daytime
never bring the regret, the disap-
pointmentt, the morbidity, the sor-
rows and the extravagances that our
night doings result in. The daylight
doesn't bring the crows feet, the
sunken eyes, the pallor of skin, the
prematurely gray hair, that are the
heritage of too much living in the
glare of artificial llghts.-Edna K

IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

OF all the measures before the leg
islature this session perhaps the most
important is the bill providing for
extending the powers of the railroad
commission to other public service
corporations. 1t is plainly step in
the right direction for the public SER
vice corporations of this state need
regulating.
In Umatilla county there is a par
ticular demand for the investigation
and regulation of the telephone busi-
ness. The phone rates within this
city have been advanced. apparently
without any reason save that the Pa
o clfic telephone company wants the
money" When local people COM
planned of the increase in rates some
q officials came here and explained at
great length that the company was
merely "standardizing" rates.
Rural phone subscribers have been
treated much worse. On the first Of
January the rates on rural phones
we're increased from SO to 1920 per
year, so the East Oregonian is inform
ed. 1t was an increase of over 100
per cent at one fell swoop. Further
more the farmers built their telephone
lines themselves and still own them.
They also maintain their lines. The
: company's charge Is for service only
In the past service has been supplied
; At SO per annum. Why double that
amount should now be charged has
mot been explained to the knowledge
of the East Oregonian. Perhaps
again the advance was made SO as to
''standardize" rates. If so it might be
timely to ask why this Standardization
should always be upward? Why can
not the company bring about unifor-
nifty by reducing the higher charges
to a level with the lower?
During the past year local people
have often discussed ways and means
OF dealing with the telephone company
with a view to securing lower rates
or at least preventing further ad-
vances If possible. Improvements in
service have also been desired. But
ii is not any easy matter to deal with
the telephone problem because prin-
ciples that apply to most lines of bus
iness are not applicable to the tele-
phone business. Generally speaking
when one company renders poor SER
vice or charges too much for service
some relief may be had by bringing
In a competing company. But by the
nature Of things a competing tele-
phone company may not bring relief.
II Pendleton had two telephone COM
panies instead of one the only result
would be that each business house
and each household within the city
would have to use both lines in order
to have proper connection with the
entire city. So we would have to pay
more for telephone service than is
now paid.
This being the case the only rem
edy lies in the regulation Of the tele-
= phone business by the state. Under
the operations Of state law there
should be some commission having
power ton investigate telephone COM

AS the time draws near for the

year.
In the National league. however,
there is no one man whose work has
been as conspicuous to the general
public as has been that OF Cobh'3.
There are about nine great players
In the National league, who, as far

THE DREAM PATH
BY LARRY Ho

The sun was set like a coronet where
the heavens opened blue,
Yet never a flower beside the way, and
never a dream came true.
Back to the stricken ways OF men
came bereft and poor,
Back where the human cry grows
sweet In the vines OF cabin
door,
Back where the toiling human throng
smiles dying along the street
Back where the roses spring from
tears to blossom about my feet.
The rain beat hard on the common
day, and the smiling storms fell
chill,
And grief held sway on the human
way. that always ran uphill;
But sorrow and pain were not In vain,
for Love was a diadem
White with light for the sons OF night
and I was one with them.
And, o, the grip OF the comradeship OF
the common heart and hand,
And the JOY and grace OF brothers
face that a brother can under.
stand!
o the workday years with their blind
Ing tears were crowned with q
glory-gleam
AS I went sharing the burden-bea
forgetting the path OF dream.
The roses laughed where the road
grew long, and a song was in
the air,
AS gripped the thorny stem of life
nor fiinched In the face OF Care;
AS toiled In the dust and heat oi
things with comrades by my
side
The glory of God sprang from the sod
to make me glorifed.
o Joy dwells not In a cloistered spot
on the marge of a golden sky--
In the human clay. on the human way
are the things that shall MOI
die;
Where brothers pain and q broth
er's gain may claim the faith OF
you
'Tis there Love springs from the com
mon things-'tis there that the
Dream comes true.

And like away from the hurt or things

So set my soul on the path Of dream
and dwelt In golden sky,
Away from the clutch Of mortal things,
away from the human cry;
And I drifted far on the silent peaks
that are girt with ancient stars,
And my soul was free of the earth
born pang, unstained OF the
earthborn scars.
But the years were long, and never a
