but a medium of effici-
Eating for ency," says a noted wo-
Efficiency. man. Certainly it is
true. Every man is to
large extent the product of his food
supply and the result of his personal
habits. This is true in Pendleton and
everywhere else. II you do not be-
lieve it observe closely and you will
see. This does not mean of course
that one may make himself whatever
he would be by any process of eating.
But by eating the proper classes of
food in. the right amounts and at the
right time a man may do much to
keep himself in health and up to the
requisite standard of efficiency.
Yet despite the facts these truths
are now well recognized the habit of
eating for pleasure rather than for
utility is still with us to large extent
Otherwise why do men attend big
banquets and eat many things that
are good to the taste but may be use-
less from a food standpoint?
People do not eat for mere pleas
ure SO much as they once did, how
ever. If they do it is for pleasure of
a finer grain and it is pleasure that
may be made to go hand in hand with
good digestion.
1t is noticeable that successful men
are generally sensible eaters. They
know from close experience they must
keep up their efficiency to succeed
and right eating is one Of the essenti-
ais of an efficient body and an eff
Client mind.

In many Of the larger cities of the
east voting machines are now in or
der. Apparently
Voting Machines. they are very sat
isfactory to the
voters and they greatly facilitate the
counting of the vote. In fact the vote
counting is finished as soon as the
voting ends. There are no long and
anxious waits on the part of perspiring
candidates. The judges and clerks
hold no all night sessions.
1t appears, however, from the ex-
rerience in some cities that It is we'll
for community to go slow in pur-
chasing voting machines. Changes in
ballot laws may make it impossible to
use the machines. Milwaukee has
had such an experience. So has Min
neapolis. Chicago has expended ST.
o0o.0 in the purchase OF 10ee voting
machines and some people there
question the wisdom of the act be-
cause Of the fact ballot changes may
occur that will render the machines
useless.
Since the state has authority over
the ballot laws 1t is evident any action
taken towards securing voting ma
chimes should be taken by the state,
not by a municipality.

A dentist was filling a lady patrons

see the result for herself. Then he
went on with his task, repeating this

ian attacks the attitude of this paper
and says:
There is more talk IN the
Pendleton journal concerning
roundabout civil procedure and
superiority Of a short and direct
course to remedy an abominable
situation. Yet there is but a
roundabout course available to
those who may be injured by the
proceedings of an emotional ex-
ecutive. There is no direct or
speedy remedy for them. They
must await the tedious process Of
the courts
That is true and it is exactly the sit
uation that should prevail with refer
ence to those affected by the acts Of
any executive officer. be he governor,
policeman, sheriff or constable. Sup
posing the opposite We're true. An
officer could not even make an arrest
in safety. He would have to prove a
man guilty before he could lock him
up. A sheriff would not dare give
chase to a horsethief or a murderer
until he had first gone into the courts
and proven the mans guilt. Under
such a construction Of the law our po-
lice Officers would be about as valu-
able as Christmas tree ornaments. The
very idea Is ridiculous.
Yet the Portland Oregonian and
Judge Bennett unite in the view that
the governor-the chief executive OF
the state-shouid be hampered in just
that manner Though he is the high
est official in the state and is sworn
TO see that the laws are faithfully EN-.
forced they would not give him as
much power as an ordinary policeman.
They would allow him no preemptory
authority at all or at least they con-
tend ne should not Use il. They claim
he should go into the courts and
prove his case before taking action
against the violator.
Those who set forth such views are
weak on logic and talk for anarchy
not for law and order. Being the CHIEF
executive the governor is justly en-
titled to act first and prove his case
afterwards. just like any other peace
officer. There are abundant checks
to keep a governor from abusing his
authority. just as there are checks te
