Radinm in Verse.

Since il . has been announced that
Professor patty is to exhibit the won
ders of radium in this city Monday
night, many questions have been ask
ed regarding the nature of that mi
raculous substance. There printed
below is the explanation in verse as
taken from the Atlantic Journal:
'Tis Radium this and Radium that
and Radium everything.
Not since the protoplasm prote and.
the human rave began
Has anything so everything revealed
itself to man.
They say tits good for cancer and
excellent for fits,
The whole atomic theory is knocked
to little bits;
'Tis a painless panacea of every sort
of i'll,
It's knocked out paregoric and the
little liver pill;
Twill make the negro man turn
white. the yellow man turn pink;
It's better than the Keeley cure to
kill the Demon Drink;
Unto the bald mans head it gives
new interest and hairs;
Twill make the cane to grow again
in old split bottom chairs.
| They're making breakfast foods OF
it. and new religions too;
! It's touted as a substitute for gargle
oil and glue;
| The blind are taught to speak again
| the deaf no more are dumb,
And Bright's disease grows brighter
now Radium has come;
| 1t remedies the rheumatic, the pink
eye and the mumps.
| A glin or two turned into you, vii
! take away the dumps;
It's the only explanation of the rea-
| son why milk
It's the universal solvent, the philos'
| ophizer's stone,
Perpetual motion, and the proper
food for bone;
'Tis specific for the ricketts,, tis
fine tooth paste;
And takes away from camers mill
the hump-backed taste.
| It's good for mending broken rib
and fractured flower-pots;
1t cures the Hiawatha habit, CLAN

FOR THE UPPER RIVER

When the subject of the West Ex-
tension was placed before the Pen
dleton Commercial club in December
the club took action by endorsing the
extension with the recommendation
that the government fully protect the
rights and welfare of upper river set
tiers. It was argued that the govern
ment should allow settlers on Mckay
and Birch creeks to use water even
beyond their legal rights for the rea-
son that much of the water would
seep back into the river and so be
available for use down the river.
When the Investigation board was
here these arguments were again
presented by the Commercial club
and by individuals. Among others
the editor of the East Oregonian sub
mitted letter setting forth the ar
gument in behalf of the upper river
settlers.
The investigating board saw fit to
follow the course of action suggested
and the authorities higher up have
since upheld the board by approving
its recommendation.
The government is not going to use
all the flood water on the lands un-
der the West Extension so consider
able water will be available for use
by private settlers-if they will but
make use of it,
Now is the time for the settlers on
Birch and Mckay creeks to get busy.
Their prayer has been answered They
should get hold of that water and
make use of it. Local people should
aid them in doing so. The CONNER
cial club should encourage them.
The secretary of our Commercial
club has become identified with a
move to use much water for flood
irrigation purposes near Echo and
stanfieId He should be more inter
osted and more jealous in trying tc
promote irrigation on the upper river
The upper river men have the bes
right to such water as the governmen
viii liberate. They are waterusers al
ready and many Of them have filing
on additional water. Their land is il
comparatively small tracts. 1t is no
owned by "a few men,"
Let's have move for the utiliza
ton Of the available water on the UP
per river Don't let it all be used b
people in the west end.
Here is fine field for activity b
the new officers Of the Pendleto
Commercial club.

pical expression 1t is from the New
York World:
IF anything more were lacking TO
stir public indignation against the
Lawrence mill-owners 1t was the for
chile action taken to prevent strikers
from sending away their children.
There can be no warrant in law for
such interference. 1t is open to the
worst possible construction.
1T is no business of the mill-owners
what purpose lies back of this re-
moval to other places of the child
victims of the strike-whether it be
to advertise the strikers grievances
or merely that the children may be
better cared for. The fact evidently
is that the children when sent else
where are better off. Their fares are
paid, their going imposes no burden
upon the Lawrence community. Their
removal from Lawrence is within the
law and the clear CohStiluliohdt iiShts

why, then, this police clubbing of

ing away their children? Has the
public authority been enlisted for the
nill-owners to prevent the strikers
from tightening their burden in law
full ways? Has tariff protection for
labor reached the point of suggesting
for its beneficiaries a prison camp
where outside communication is cut
off and the world is left to guess what
goes on within?
