TRY SOME OF THIS
THE AUTO ON THE FARM

The auto on the farm arose
Before the dawn, at four,
It MIXED the cows and washed the
clothes
And finished every chore.
Then forth 1t went into the field
Just at the break of day;
1t reaped and threshed the golden
yield
And hauled II all away.
1t plowed the field that afternoon,
And when the job was through
1t hummed a pleasant little tune
And churned the butter too.
1t pumped the water for the stock
And ground crib Of corn,
And hauled the baby round the block
To still its cries forlorn.
Thus ran the busy hours away
BY many labors blest.
And yet when fell the twilight gray
That auto had no rest.
For while the farmer, peaceful-eyed
Read by the Tungstein's glow,
The patient auto stood outside
And ran the dynamo.

DREAMER BY THE FTRESIDE.


The New Times are with 'em-they
meet 'em brave an strong.
But in the chimney corner 1 sing the
Old Times song;
That's all that's left me: Life's fires
burnin' low
I'm thinkin' of my children who left
me long ago.
H.
When the evenin's comm an the
winds begin to moan,
An I'm settin' by the fire alone
alone-alone,
The little ones out there at play
come home to me to rest,
An I dream their arms are round
me an they're sieepin' on my
breast.
Some, livin' in this country, an some
across the sea
But not a one of all of 'em has gone
away from me!
1 don't mind that they left me-birds
from the nest IL roam
But in dreams I'm in the doorway,
an l call my children home.
".
So, they come to me when evenin'
brings the shadders round the
place,
An they tell me all their troubles
with sunshine in each face;
An some day, 1 reckon, when I've
counted all my years.
I'll meet 'em where my home Is, an
they'll kiss away my tears.

FROM THE PEOPLE
THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE VIEW

Editor East Oregonian:
Portland, Ore, Feb. II, 1913.
In recent editorial upon the pro-
posed national health department you
expressed the opinion that Christian
Scientists are unnecessarily alarmed
over this subject becuse of their be-
lief, which you deem unfounded, that
such a department would create a
medical trust. The reasons upon
which Christian Scientists base their
opposition to such legislation are, per-
haps, not generally understood and on
that account 1 seek the opportunity
OF placing them in brief before your
readers. In this connection it should
be known that the Legislation pro-
posed is set forth in the Owen bill, in
troduced by Senator owen of Okla
homa.
For nearly a score Of years the Am
erican Medical Association, through
its legislative committees supported
by its well organized publicity bureau
and authors club has been seeking to
have congress create such a depart
ment. This association is composed
only of allopaths. It has for many
years been active through its state or
ganizations in securing medical prac-
tice acts which would make 1t impos-
sible for other schools of healing to
treat disease. Through this pernicious
political activity it has secured legis-
lation in Missouri, Ohio, and Mary
land actually prohibiting Christian
Science practice. In the Canal zone
the regulars" secured an executive
order to the same effect, which was
however modified by the president
after the facts were laid before him.
In a number of states Christian Sci
entists are prohibited from receiving
compensation for their services. Even
in the state Of New York lower court
has recently construed a statute to
mean that to heal as Jesus taught is
crime. Such is the record of the
American Medical Association in state
legislation.
The owen bill is a product of this
Medical Association. AS originally
introduced its powers were so broad
that its defeat seemed certain. Many
amendments have since been made in
what seems TO be almost a frantic en-
jeavor to secure the bill's passage, al
though the bill in its present form
represents but little that was asked
for in the original. The chief provis-
ion OF the present bill would provide
for the co-ordinating of all the pres
ent government health activities un.
der one head. 1t is however the be-
ginning, the entering wedge which
the American Medical Association
wants. AS one OF its leading support
ers recently said, 1T is not satisfae-
tory to US. but 1t will be a beginning
and we will follow IT up till We get !,
what we want" Does II seem un-
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1913-02-17

reasonable to oppose legislation based
upon such motives?
A recent report by the secretary of
the treasury shows that the govern
ment is now expending s20,O00.0O0
a year for our present health service.
large part of this pays for the
printing of bulletins setting forth the
theories and experiments of the allo-
pathic school which is now in COM
plete control of every medical activity
of the government. although millions
OF citizens have little or no faith in
such practices and would much pre-
fer to see the money spent in better
ing sanitary conditions and such other
ways as all citizens a/ree are for our
common good. The pending legisla-
tion would but strengthen the grip of
this school on the national treasury
and make easier its dogmatic perse-
cution of all those who do not agree
with allopathic theories. We believe
the time has come for the individual
to realize that because the doctors say
we need a health department it is not
necessarily SO. There is no complaint
of the efficiency OF our present health
bureaus, no lack of power or author
ity to deal with those questions which
properly come under governmental
supervision, such as quarantine, sani-
tation, and pure food. What then Is
the theory upon which the proponents
| of this legislation are proceeding.
Simply this, that they and they alone
are capable of looking after the pub
| lie health. Compulsory medical
treatment is their ultimate objective.
One of their number, DR.. Samuel Dix
on of Philadelphia, has said, Com
pulsion not persuasion is the keynote
of state medicine"
The present bill has been fathered,
and nurtured by the American Medi-
cal Association, an association whose
record is one of medical oppression
and intolerance, proven by its record
in state legislation. Such legislation
would make the government a part
ner in the experiments, theories, and
practices of one school as against all
others, and would be the beginning of
an untiring combat for government
medicine, a thing to be deplored and
opposed as strongly as state religion.
Christian Scientists unite with all
good citizens in the support of laws
for cleanliness, sanitation, pure food.
and quarantine, but they will ever
continue to oppose every attempt of
the forces of materia medica to secure
for themselves the stamp of govern
mental approval either in our schools.
our state or our nation. The question
Is not one to be treated with disre-
spect or indifference for it reaches
down deep into the basic principle of
our national life and touches that
cherished Observation-Disclosures lib
erty. Let each school of healing
stand upon its own feet without legis-
lative prop or governmental subsidy
The people may be trusted to find the
system which is destined to perma-
nently relieve them from their ills, the
medical fraternity to the contrary,
Notwithstanding. Yours truly.

HE COULD TALK.

Albert Won Hoffman. st. Louis
balloon enthusiast, tells this on
himself. He sat by the Chinese
Minister to Mexico at a dinner
given by President Diaz in
Chapultepec. Mr.. Won Hoffman
was born German. and his Eng
lish was difficult. He said in
what he then thought was very
good English:
I'D iss ferry nice efening,

Chinese, English and German.

A suggestive fact about the assem-
blage, says the World. was that the
women present outnumbered the men
by ten 10 one. That was about the
proportion at the exhibition of sorolla
pictures and it is about the ratio of
feminine preponderance on all occas-
ions where the appeal is TO the purely
intellectual or aesthetic sense of the
general public. 1t is the habitual pro
portion between the sexes at lectures
on art or morals or manners and at
social uplift meetings of most kinds.
The women of the United States, in
deed, in addition to arrogating to
themselves new political rights, have
made themselves the ,custodians of in
tellectual concerns. They are the stew
ardesses of our national culture. and
their supervision ranges from popu-
lar fiction to the more serious fields
of mental productivity. 1t is the
novels they read, the theories they in
dorse and the social, religious or phil
osophic movements they support that
flourish and gain vogue.
Their capacity for the task is clearly
due to the ample leisure at their dis
posal for culture as well as for auc-
ton bargains. Each of these pursuits
they have feminized, but with i'm
proving results for culture which mere
man must perforce recognize.

legislative friend reproaches the
of the body of
Where the Trouble which he is
Comes From member and de-
clares he is
striving his best to serve the people.
That may be entirely true and 1t may
be entirely true of other members
1t is probably true of a majority Of
the members. But they are not doing
much and it is because these men are
not in control. The control Of the leg
islature rests with a little brigade
made up of men who are not in the
legislature to serve the people but in
reality are there as special agents for
certain interests that know just what
they want and know how to go about
getting 1t.
This is not fiction, it is fact and all
who are familiar with the situation
understand it quite well. 1t is custo-
mary situation in the legislature and
always will be until the people wake
up and put the legislature on basis
that will insure efficiency.
If they but knew it the people can
scarcely expect good results from the
legislature as it now exists. They pay
legislators nothing for their work, 50
to speak, and such a system always
invites just what we have, a legisla-
ture made up in large part of special
agents Furthermore the Legislature
Is unwieldy 1t is a jerk line team
and Is not adapted to present day
work We should have fewer legis-
lators, they should be better paid and
the special agent business should be
abolished.
In all its criticisms of the legislature
the East Oregonian has sought not to
cast aspersions on individual mem
bers who are often the very finest of
men but rather to show up the weak
ness Of the legislature as a whole. II
is inefficient and its inefficiency is
the chief cause OF the long ballot and
of many other ills that beset this
state. There are powerful interests
that want the Legislature to remain
just as it is and will stoutly fight any
efforts to reform 1t is easy plucking
for them now and they don't want
any Improvement
But some day the people Of Oregon
will come to understand what is the
matter with their lawmaking body and
they viii make some drastic changes.
