THE IMPOSSIBLE.
(New York WORLDLY

tNew York WORLDLY
Nobody will begrudge a holiday to
a president of the United States who
has accomplished the impossible.
1t was impossible that the demo-
cratic party, with it's long record of
folly. foolishness and faction, could
be transformed into an effective in
strument of government
1t was impossible that a president
who had had no experience in ma
tional politics and no personal ac-
quaintance with the leaders of the
party could work harmoniously with
congress
1t was impossible that an unwieldy
majority such as the democrats had
in the house could be held together.
1t was impossible that a narrow
majority such as the democrats had
in the senate could be prevented from
surrendering to privilege and giving
the country another example of "pars
ty perfidy and party dishonor'
1t was impossible that the demo-
cratic party, in the light of it's his
tory for fifty years, could carry out
sane, constructive policy of govern
ment
Yet all these things have come
about Not since the civil war has
any administration written so much
history within so brief a period of
time as the Wilson administration has
written since March 4.
AS for the president and congress,
Mr.. Wilson's leadership is unique. He
has not only had as much influence
over congress as Mckinley or Grant
ever welded. but he has obtained
none OF this influence by the bribery
of patronage, and he has been able
to exert 1t for public, not par
tisan, purposes.
Mr.. Taft never led the republican
party. He was led by the leaders OF
the Old Guard. Mr.. Roosevelt's DOM
ination of the party was the iomina-
ton OF brag, bluster, demogogy, flat

terry. jobs and compromise. In spite
OF all his ranting and roaring, he
never failed TO surrender to the Han
mas the Platts, the Quays, the Aid
ricnes ana the Cannons when he
found they We're in earnest.
Reversing the rule OF Frederick the
Great, Mr. Roosevelt was allowed to
say what he liked and they were al
lowed to do what they liked.
The Mckinley leadership was the
leadership of an administration with
out ideals 1t was easy for Mr.. Nc
kinley to get what he wanted from
congress. for ne wanted nothing that
congress and the republican organ.
lZation did not want. As for Mr.
Cleveland, the difficulties that con-
fronted his administration were no
more serious than the difficulties
that confronted the Wilson admin
istration. But Mr.. Cleveland had no
faith in his party. AS president he
rarely missed an opportunity to make
an enemy, and the friends he failed
10 sacrifice were for the most part
the friends he ought to have sacrificed.
In the end he wrecked his party
and left the country at the mercy of
the silver issue.
Thanks TO President Wilson. there
is not gap in the democratic ranks
at Washington. Thanks to President
Wilson, the party is faithfully carry
ing out its promises For the first
in
form is proved to mean what it said,
and the way is cleared both to a new
freedom and a new prosperity.

north fork water is not within our
reach at present
The Thorn Hollow water is far bet

now secure nothing but seepage wa

Yet We must either continue use

sense to it from a local standpoint
The East Oregonian can see not the
faintest excuse for further attacks
save that the electric company may
wish to harrass and annoy the water
board as much as possible for having
acted solely with view to serving
Pendleton and without taking dicta-
ton from the company's local man.

IF a man loves a woman, but, ac-

she is not the right one for him to
marry, and he is true to the higher
science, he will avoid great unhap-

love the right woman if he adheres
steadfastly to the planetary laws.
But before we can find this science,
we must learn to be governed by

Prof. Gale, who assisted Nicholson,
said: THAT the solid surface of the

"The fact that there are tides of

Successful Auto Tour

Richard Fricke writes the Record
Courier from Riverside that he and
family reached that city in good
shape, having been on the road four
days and covered 649 miles in their
automobile. They followed the
route to Nina via Yerington. and
then to Oasis and over the White
mountains, finding the road badly
damaged and in places almost inn
passible. They passed through Big
Pine and other lnyo county towns
thence through kohon Pass tc San
Bernardino to Riverside. In some
of the town and camps they paid as
high as 60 cents a gallon for gaso-
line The family enjoyed the trip
and are now comfortably located in
their new home.

Between Savage andTieer

George Kieine's production of the
Cines drama "BetWee Savage and
Tiger is a complete change from
anything he has ever presented and
affords vivid and strikin ng contrast
to Quo Vadis. = THE Last Days of

that the Cines company of Italy can
handle modern subjects with the
same charming artistic finish that
characterizes all of their classic
productions.
Between Savage and Tiger" is a
tale of adventure and romance in

thrilling and exciting scenes in

there is no hope for her with the
young officers affections. rhe
