WHY THE COLONEL SMILES.

Cleveland Leader: Colonel Roose-
welt has often been accused of being
hasty. 1t is probable that he has
been so on occasions; being very
much of a man he is heir to some of
o. the imperfections of humanity.
A good many Americans thought
he went off half-cocked" when he
criticized Judge Simeon Baldwin, of
Connecticut for his Interpretation of
the federal law on the liability of
employers. It was one of the things
which hurt Roosevelt, especially in
the east. and the judge was subse-
quently vindicated, in popular opin-
ion, by being elected governor of his
state.
There has been a good deal of talk
about this incident. Newspapers an
tagonistic to the former president
have made it the basis of many sar-
castle filings at him and Governor
Baldwin threatened to sue him for
damages. But now Judge Rellstab,
in the United States district court at
Trenton, N. j., has upheld the con-
stitutionallty of the employers la
bllity act, deciding contrary to the
ruling Of Judge Baldwin and uphoG-
ing the opinion so forcibly expressed
by Roosevelt.

GEORGE V. LIKES LONG SERMONS

NJ A. P: The recognized time for
a preacher to occupy the pulpit when
preaching before the late king was
10 minutes King George, however,
has never quite approved of these
very short sermons, and 1t has been
ntimated to the chaplains in ordi-
nary attached to the royal household
from whom the preacher for the
morning service at Buckingham pal
ace is usually selected, that their SER
mons may be lengthier than they were
customarily in the late reign.
An intimation of this sort amounts
practically to a command, but 1t Is
doubtful II it will be very welcome to
some Of the chaplains who were In
the late kings household, who have
during the past year rarely preached
sermon of more than 10 minutes
duration.
When the king is at Buckingham
palace on Sunday, the preacher for
the morning service Is selected by his
majesty. The selection Is usually
made on Friday and the chaplain who
has been chosen is notified OF the fact
by the subdean.

orate and be lost entirely. The peas
may be hogged off or cut for hay late
in the spring and the land may then
be summerfallowed for the remain
der of the season. The peas may be
threshed for seed if the farmers de-
sire to do SO,
Aside from field peas there are
other crops such as corn, milo maize,
and dry land alfalfa that may be rails
ed, However, careful attention must
be given TO the selection of seed so
'as to get the right varieties. Hardy,
drouth resisting varieties are requir-
ed for this country and then proper
tillage methods must be followed. II
improper varieties are chosen or If
the work is Improperly done the best
results cannot be expected.
The road which Prof. Scudder
points out is not exactly an easy one
to travel. 1t is not a proposition of
getting something for nothing. On
the contrary a man must work for
the results desired and he must work
intelligently and consistently. But
the goal is well worth the effort.
The advice which Prof. Scudder
gives is being followed to some ex-
tent now and his methods will be fol-
lowed more and more as years go by.
That a higher state of agriculture
will obtain here some day is as sure
as fate The world goes forward,
never backward. Science is being
applied to agriculture and it is work
ing an Improvement all over the ma
.uon. Science always wins and it will
win out here. The only question is,
will the farmers of this section take
early action in this matter or will they
wait until the wheels of evolution
turn and by their remorseless grind
force them to take up methods such
as Prof. Scudder suggests?

\ SUGGESTION.

The Byers mill is shipping 100000
sacks of flour to the orient and this
is but one of many shipments the
mill has made to that region. Now
If the mill just had breakfast food
factory in connection with its flour
making plant Pendleton would be in
line to become more famous still.
Nothing gets into the limelight these
days like breakfast foods. Why can
not the mill manufacture Roundup
Flakes. They should sell we'll, es-
pecially in the west. Too many of
our breakfast foods smack of the
sissified and effete east and do not
appeal to those who live in this land
of sunshine and gold.

WHY NOT DO IT NOW?

All men know the curse of eastern
Oregon agriculture is the supposed
necessity for summer following. I'm
der the system of farming now prac-
ticed throughout the wheat belt one
half the land is left idle all the time.
So a farmer gets but half the income
he could derive could he use all his
land each year and he is required to
have an enormous acreage for sue
cessful work. 1t is cumbersome and
expensive system and farmers would
gladly get away from it If possible.
At least this is the logical suppositi-
on because it would be good business
policy for them to do so.
In a practical and timely address
before the Umatilla county farmers
union yesterday Prof H. D. Scudder
pointed out to the members what he
firmly believes is a road that will
lead them out Of their difficulty. In
a clear and concise manner he point
ed out that course and explained
very fully concerning it.
Prof. Scudder says It is not neces-
sary TO let the land lie idle every 9TH
er year. Certain crops may be raised
on summer fallow years and the prac-
tice will add to the fertility Of the
soil rather than deplete 1t. At the
same time the farmer will be getting
an annual return instead of a bien-
nial return.

THE VOICE OF CANADA.
minneapolis Tribune. }

What is the voice of Canada, any
way? The head of the provincial
government of Manitoba agrees wtn
the organ of powerful interests in
Montreal that reciprocity with the
United States would be dangerous, If
not destructive to Canada.
That is the view of London news
papers that represent the imperial m
terests of predatory politics and high
finance. 1t is doubtless that of the
fat promoters of subsidized railroads,
waterways and other artificial means
of transportation and production in
prices what they could buy in the
United States for one with free trade
over the border.
We have not the least doubt, In
spite of their stunned silence. that it
is the view of the subsidized Canadian
railroads and elevator companies of
chartered privilege that have well
coined emigration into western Can
ada from every part of the world to
cultivate farms for the monstrous en-
richment of corporations and a bare
maintenance for themselves.
Do these interests speak with the
voice of Canada when they declare
that the reciprocity agreement with
the United States must be defeated
We know their kind in this country,
and have ceased to accord them the
right of speaking in the name Of the
American people.
Several hundred thousand of us
have gone into Canada in the last y '
years, only to discover that they had
jumped out of the frying pay of AM
erican trusts into the fire of Cana
dian transportation, distributing and
manufacturing monopolies, operated
in the name of imperial patriotism
and fictitious national ideal to put
off producers with a bare living and
tax the mass of consumers all the
traffic would bear in order to fill the
vice regal courts of Ottawa with sud-
den millionaires bearing brand new
British titles.
The husky farmers of the north
west represent these former Ameri-
cans and the plain people of Cana
da generally. and their will seems to
go farther with the government at
least than that Of the privileged class.

CHANGE IT THIS SPRING.

Mayor Murphy and others of the
city administration are surely acting
wisely in planning to get their pro-
posed charter change ready for sub
mission to the people this spring pro-
vided an election is held for the pur
pose of voting bonds for a water sys-
tenn. There are reasons why the
charter should be changed. At this
time street improvement is being
blocked by the fact that the city must
pay for intersections. The city must
be freed from this burden if any con-
siderable street work is to be done.
The sooner this change is enacted the
better, for there is street work that
should be done this summer. PEN
dleton needs much street improve
ment work but it particularly needs
the improvement of Jackson street
and of other streets leading down
towards the site of the branch asy-
lum. Now that Pendleton has secur-
ed the branch asylum it is up to the
city to provide highway over which
people may travel to that institution.
There are many people who would
make the building of a new Main
street bridge conditional upon the i'm
provement of Jackson street They
hold it would be foolish for the city
to build a splendid bridge unless
there is to be a good thoroughfare
leading away from it on the north
side.
But it will be hard to do any great
amount of street work until the
charter is changed SO as to exempt
the city from paying for the inter-
sections Should work be undertake
en- under the present charter the city
would soon be broke and the work
would have to stop no matter how
bad property owners might desire
improvements.
