OF date They We're started during
an age when social conditions were
entirely different from the present
When only the nobility were educat-
ed. when men were "knights" and
women ladies" and 1t was dis
grace to work. 1t is different now
The leisure class is made up of loaf
ers, some poor and some rich. Both
are useless to society and it is no
longer the right thing to shape cours-
es of study with q view to turning
out women and men of that sort
What the country wants and needs
is workers-of all classes.
When the new Pendleton high
school is completed course in do
mestic science will be established. 1t
will be a popular course and it should
be made strong and thorough be-
cause the subject has been long ne
elected.

FAMOUS BISMARCK QUARREL

The emperor's quarrel with Bis
marck is matter of history, and it
started owing to the chancellor hav-
ing a private interview with a certain
political parsonage unknown to his
majesty. The kaiser, hearing of this
wrote to Bismarck telling him that
he expected to be informed of all
such interviews before they took
place. The princes reply to the let
ter was a verbal one and was spoken
to the emperor's private secretay.
"Tell his majesty" it ran "that / can
not allow anyone to decide who Is to
cross my threshold" When the mes
sage was delivered to the kaiser he
drove round to the chancellor's place
and asked him what the discussion in
question was about. In excited tones
the prince declared that he could not
subject his intercourse with political
personages to any restraint, nor would
he allow anyone to control the pas
sage to his private apartments.
"Nct even when as your sovereign
command you to do so?" shouted the
emperor, enraged.

LOVE AND GRAMMAR.

Some time ago a New York busi-
ness man, who is blessed with an ex-
tremely pretty daughter, took his
family TO England for an indefinite
period, during which he was to estab-
lish British branches of his mercan-
tile enterprise in this country.
The charms of this young woman
wrought much havoc in the rank and
file of the men who met her abroad.
She was sweet and gracious to all,
but her heart as we'll as her wit, be-
longed to her native land. One day
her father found her at her desk,
knitting her brows over letter.
Whats the trouble, my dear." he
asked solicitiously.
Father she responded dolefully,

NOT so CANDID NOW.

The fact that the officials of the
American steel and wire company, a
subsidiary of the steel trust, burned
books and papers that could have
been used against the trust by the
government in the prosecution now
on will cause people to believe that
the burned documents contained
damaging figures. Men who have
done no wrong do not resort to such
tactics when under investigation. II
also seems timely to ask what has
happened to the courtesy and lib
erality'' so evident on the part of the
Morgan concerns during the Roose-
welt administration. Is it possible the
steel trust is willing to be frank only
when informed in advance that moth
ing will be done to it?

WHY AMUNDsEN GOT THERE.

RearAdmiral Peary in the Worlds
Work for May discusses briefly Cap
tain Amundsen's achievement.
ITO my mind he had one great ad-
vantage over the Scott expedition"
says Admiral Peary. His tractive
power was dogs. His experience
with them in the south proved their
effectiveness as my experience did in
the north. Captain Scotts equip
ment includes twenty ponies and
thirty dogs, and one or two ice auto
mobiles, giving him with his men four
different kinds of tractive power for
dragging his sledges. But the num-
Der of his dogs is comparatively few.
Captain Amnundsen lost thirty-six Of
his or six more than Captain Scott
took The British seem to have put
their main reliance on their ponies
and their motors, and in this, while
| may be mistaken, feel both on gem
eral principles and from study of
Shackleton's experiences, that they
may be handicapped.

HOW IT COMES ABOUT.


The Portland Oregonian pictures
old fashioned democrats as passing
up Woodrow Wilson and endorsing
Champ Clark. There is some eX-
cuse for that theory of the case bu;
not very much. The chief reason
Governor Wilson is opposed is be-
cause he is not liked by the reaction
Iary gentlemen who compose what is
often referred to as big business
Those men are effective political
workers.
The Los Angeles Tribune recently
had the following, editorial upon THE
Conspiracy Against wilson:
1t must be manifest to the most
casual student of conditions that the
reactionary elements in the demo-
cratic party have formed a combi-
nation against the progressives and
have leagued themselves together in
conspiracy against Wilson. How
ever they are opposed to each other,
they are united against the New Jer-
sey candidate.
In Massachusetts,, Harmon and I'm
derwood did not enter the race, leav-
ing the field to Clark. In Florida
and Georgia Clark and Harmon kept
out, Leaving the field free to Under
wood. In Ohio Underwood and Clark
will stand aside, leaving the field to
Harmon. In California neither Har-
mon nor Underwood will enter the
race, and Clark will be the standard
Wilson. The progressive from New
Jersey is a candidate in every state
The reactionaries who oppose him
put forward there Underwood, here
Clark and there Harmon, as in their
cunning judgment Harmon or Clark
or Underwood can best be used to
defeat the nomination of a progress
sive candidate.
California is chiefly concerned in
Clark's candidacy, for Clark is the
reactionary put forward in this state
by the selfish interests that are seek
ling to control the democratic party.
All who support Clark are not re-
dictionaries. Many progressives, de-
ceived by the candidate himself or
misled by the shrewd men who ma
nipulate Clark and own him COM
lpletely, are supporting him in good
faith, honestly believing he is sim
cerely progressive. whereas in fact he
is devoid of conviction-a mere pup
pet in the hands of the interests that
are financing his candidacy.
Clark's conduct in the speakership
revealed the ease with which pluto
cracy controls him. When it was pro-
posed to investigate the money trust
and earnest progressives favored one
method of investigation while Wal
street demanded another, Clark used
all the power of his office in support
OF the Wall street demand. La Fol-
lette's Magazine, analyzing his con-
duct declared that he had bent 6
servile knee to the interests. An er'
ratio, Unbalanced and most unstable
man, he is not to be depended upor
were he sincere and is doubly danger
Gus in that he is political hypocrite
His lips mouth profession of pro
gressive principles, but were he II
the White House he would be the
willing and conscious servant Of plu'
tocracy.
California progressive democrats
will not support a candidate who is
owned and financed by agencies that

NOBODY WILL CRY.

Among friends of progress in the
field of railroad regulation no tears
will be shed should the senate agree
to the bill that has passed the hduse
killing the commerce court. Presi-
dent Taft may have meant well in
recommending the establishment of
that court. But the scheme has not
worked well.
From its actions thus far one
might well judge the commerce court
considers itself as an organization
created and maintained for the pur-
pose of blocking the interstate COM
merce commission in its work o;
making the railroads do their plain
Guty by the people of the country.
The commerce court made a bad
start when it attemted to thwart the
commerce commission in the Spo-
kane rate case. Its action in that in
stance branded it as a pro-railroad
body and its standing has not been
bettered by the disclosures to the ef-
feet that one Of the judges, Arch
bald. is judicial crook.
What's the use of the commerce
court anyway? It is the function OF
the commerce commission to regu-
late the railroads and the people
want that work done. Why have an
other organization to thwart the
commission? There is no danger the
commission will overdo it's work. The
railroads themselves will see to that

The dairy industry of this
country is always retarded by
reason of a short-sighted policy
of farmers and principally with
many dairymen themselves.
They are looking too much after
the dollar of today. They are
selling the heifer calves for veal
so as to get every penny from
the milk production. The result
is that the older cows are wear
ing out and few promising heif-
ers are coming on to take their
places. Where is the man wise
enough to raise a profitable
bunch of milk COWS to be sold
yearly to the trade? Some one
must do it or it will not be long
