PENDLETON SHOULD ACT.

If as an outcome of the controversy
now on Pendleton should lose the
branch asylum no small part of the
blame may be traced to local sources.
At a time when Pendleton people
should be working together with an
eye single to the welfare Of the city
there is discord. During the past
few days. lying, vicious attacks have
been made here upon Governor West
and state Treasurer Kay. out of po-
udcal spite those men have been as
sailed at a time when such attacks
may do vast harm. Petty politics is
being placed above local patriotism
and il this course is continued Pen
dleton win reap a bitter reward. 1t
Is up to local people to show in a
convincing manner that the attacks
upon the new board are not sanction
ed by the responsible people Of the
city. Messrs. West and Kay are the
powers that be. They are the men
s.ao will be responsible for the new
asylum. The men VINO are fighting
them are under no such constraint.
There is but one proper, sensible
course open to local people. We
should show the new officials every
courtesy and aid them in every way
possible in the big task they have to
perform.
But we cannot expect to get half
million dollar institution II We per-
nit dirty, vilifying attacks upon the
men who are to build that institution

AN UNNECESSARY SQUABBLE.

AS the East Oregonian feared the
branch asylum location has precipi-
eated a fight in the legislature. Bow
esrman and his friends are seeking to
justify the selection made by the for
ner acting governor. Just what the
outcome of the controversy will be re-
mains to be seen.
Had the proper view been taken of
The new boards action there would
have been no need of this. Governor
West and Mr.. Kay were not trying to
.discredit the old board. They have
held all the time that the Oliver
Carpenter place is worth all that the
state paid for it. They have merely
held that more ground should be pur-
chased so as 10 provide a better build
ing site than is to be had on the land
originally purchased.
Since Messrs. West and Kay are the
men who will have 10 build the new
asylum and viii be responsible if any
biunders are made in connection
Herewith their views with reference
to the site should prevail. They must
prevail Were Mr.. Bowerman COVER
nor ne would be doing exactly as they
are doing II he found the site Sc
Iected unsatisfactory ne would pick
out a new site, otherwise he would be
railing in his duty. Why should he
object when Messrs. West and Kay
take this course?
AS far as Pendleton is concerned
y does not matter at all whether the
asylum is built on the Oliyer-Carpen-
ter tract or upon adjoining ground.
The thing we want is the institution.
Surely we can leave it to the state
board to place the asylum where 1t
should be placed. They are responsible
FOR what they are doing. We are not.

PHYSICAL CHARM

The question may seem trivial one
to the serious, minded. yet there was
never n woman so serious or so spirit
itual who did not feel secretly pleas
ed at the consciousness that she pos
sessed physical charm or secretly sem
sitive at the thought that she was de-
void OF II.
Physical charm does not always ne
cessitate beauty. Many of the most
fascinating women in the worlds his
tory. women who have inspired great
loves and helped mold the destiny of
nations. were devoid of actual beauty.
But they possessed the charm of man
ner and of magnetic quality which
leave the impression of beauty upon
the beholder.
When beauty of >ace and form is
supplemented by these attributes the
world gives way before 1t. When 1t
Is devoid of them 1t is often as inef-
fectual as a snow image to arouse
more than a passing notice.
But even she who is possessed of all
the charms must yield her scepter
eventually to time.
Man. the higher animal, however
his development may be aided by
culture and religion, finds woman at
tractive only during the years when
she suggests the possible mother. To
the immature girl he is Indifferent;
the elderly woman he respects for
what she has been. But his interest
revolves about the young maiden or
the ripe matron.
He may be a bookworm and a
crusty bachelor: he may despise child
rem and believe in the extinction of the
human race. yet without knowing
his glance rests with pleasure and in
terest only upon the woman who could
perpetuate his species.
We may expatiate upon metal COM
radeship and preach of spiritual vir-
tues. yet 1t is the eternal mother In
woman which attracts. 1t does not
hold unless the other qualities sup
plement it.
There are women who seem never
to possess the suggestive physica
charm so dear to the sterner sex

when we shall cease to export farm
products and begin to import them.
Would it not be good time to be-
gin anew?
II a majority of farmers and plant
ers would sell half their acreage and
put the work heretofore done on the
whole tract, upon the half left, would
they not realize, on the average, as
much as they do now? We think
they would. And with the result that
the farming population would be
doubled and the products of the farm
would be doubled. In this way the
cities would not grow quite so rapid
ly, but that would not be such a great
misfortune. 4 boy in South Carolina
this year raised from three acres as
much corn as his neighbors on either
side raised on thirty-three acres. That
was not luck but intelligent farming.
He put all his time on three acres,
and every hill counted. First he pre-
pared the soil, then he planted only
the most perfect seed; then he watch
ed it, cultivated it necessarily when
the ground was dry, and guarded
steadily against damage from, the
wash when heavy rains fell, and gave
his neighbors far and near an object
lesson of what might be done. II
men would alternate their crops; see
to the drainage and fertilizers; as the
ranges grow scarce make more of a
feature of their sheep and cattle;
who knows what they might accom-
plish? But that would mean intelli'
gent work every day in the year. Is
the average farmer ready to under
take that kind of farming?

ABOUT SENATOR BOURNE.

In the state senate the other day
various derogatory speeches were
made regarding Senator Jonathan
Bourne. He was held up to ridcule
in every form possible. Some of
those attacks were justified, others
were not. The East Oregonian neither
defends Senator Bourne. nor defames
him.
But Senator Bourne is in office and
he will be reelected unless a better
man is brought out to run against
him. He has come to the front in
Oregon largely because under the old
machine system the republican party
in Oregon fell into the hands of small
system was one under which "peb-
pies were polished and diamonds
dimmed." An able, fearless broad
