The warder opened the door and en-

passed the key through the window to
Laura, who was standing on guard.
Without word, and with marvellous
rapidity, the change was effected.
Laura produced from her handbag a

flung herself on to the bed and drew

While it is an undeniable fact that
some women are infinitely more gift.
ed by nature than others, at the same
time very great deal can be done to
acquire the virtues if you have them
mott For few people are born with a
over-large endowment of good gifts,
and careful tending is essential if
what one has is to be brought out and
developed to its fullest extent.
Of all the valuable assets which a
woman ought to possess, l am firm
ly convinced that one stands out
among them all, and that particular
quality goes under the general yet
fully descriptive name of "poise." The
term implies very great deal and
presupposes a thoroughly weli-bal-
anced outlook.
What the modern woman really
lacks more than anything else, and
what she should above all strive to
acquire, is this gift of poise. For it is
that she should be it's
possessor. Without a well-balanced
outlook and calm, composed assur-
ance of manner she never will get any
where at all. However, this calm as
surance of manner should not be
merely a surface thing, assumed for
the due impressing of ones neigh
bors. 1t ought to go very much deep
er and prove the outward and visible
sign of very clear vision and

that personality without which one
really can achieve nothing.
BE a personl" the ethical text
books urge upon us as the first and
ambition of every human being And
this being interpreted merely means
that we should strive to cultivate will
power, personality, feelings, aims, am
billions, so that we may take our share
in the worlds work and the world S
happiness.
The achievement of personality is
only brought about by facing the situa-
ton boldly and asking ourselves
What do l intend to do with my
life? Am I going to develop into
something interesting, something
useful, something glad and strong,
something which will count as worth
while in world which promises so
much and can give so much if only
one knows the right way to set to
work and the right attitude to take?r
And If the answer is in the affirma-
tive, and the mind is resolutely set
toward developing true personality
that calm assurance of manner which,
though never self-assertive, yet is the
outward and visible sign of the we'll
balanced mind, will surely come to the
man or woman who sets his or her
feet On the right pathway, and they
will reach the Ell Dorado of their
mental poise.

! knowledge of what one is going to get.
The very young woman is seldom
over-gifted with poise. For she has
not lived long enough to acquire it
fully, and, although apparently she
may have plenty of self-assurance,
life and the passing of the years are
really what develop the quality most
successfully
OF all the pitiable spectacles one
can encounter, the woman who is to-
tally without poise is about the worst.
For her doings and her sayings are
all nervous, needless and without any
sort of reason or rhyme to them She
is only successful in one particular
line, and that is in getting into diff
Guilty in extricating herself For with
out poise one really cannot achieve,
and life becomes unmeaning and par
poseless.
The woman who doesn't know her
own mind is another example of the
type. She drifts aimlessly along, with
out personally, without object and
with remarkably little ambition be-
yond the fieeting moment or the pass
ing pleasure.
Colorless individuals are quite plen-
teous nowadays. Their comings and
goings leave so little impression on
our minds that we have difficulty in
even recollecting their outward ap-
pearance. And as far as character
goes, they are entirely destitute of

Resort for Picnic
Parties at Project
HEISSIISTON PEOPLE HOPE TO
SECURE FEDERAL AID IN
PLANS.

In order to make the government
reservoir on the Umatilla project into
a resort for picnic parties, Hermiston
people are starting move which they
hope viii result IN the forestation Of
the banks Of the artificial lake, ac-
cOrdmg to ]. w. Campbell prominent
young merchant Of Hermiston who
was here last evening. They hope to
secure federal aid in the planting of
many shade trees about the reser-
voir and thus make this spot more
attractive to pleasure seekers.
The plans are not definite yet ow-
ing to the fact that the reclamation
service and the forestry service are
separate and distinct. The reservoir
is directly under the supervision of
the reclamation service but the Her
mistonians believe that some plan can
be devised that will be acceptable to
both bureaus.
Trees would grow rapidly around
the reservoir, it is believed, owing to
the sub-irT4gation. Given plenty OF
shade. there would be no prettier
place in eastern Oregon than the
UmatilIa reservoir and no resort Of
fering more pleasures. The fishing
and boating and bathing is ideal and,
now that the roads are being improv.
ed shade is all that is lacking.

The Ex-PrcsIdent and the Crisis

(From The Chicago News
In a crisis such as that now con

assume that man who had held the
office Of president Of the United
states would studiously refrain from
saying or doing anything that might
tend TO Increase the embarrassments
Of the chief executive. upon whom

policy. Ev-President Taft has taken
precisely this attitude. He urges
consideration for Preident wilson
and support for the presidents me-
thod of handling the situation.
Patience and calmness are declared
by Mr Taft to be necessary in deal
ing with Germany's destruction OF
American lives. While there are
things worse than war. and while
Mr. Taft would not have this nation
at the outset eliminate the possihi-
lily of war. he wisely asserts that de-
lay resulting from fun consideration
cannot change the situation or min
imize the effect Of what the United
States will finally conclude to do.
"A demand for war that cannot sur
vive the passion Of the first days Of
public Indignation" says Mr.. Taft,
"and will not endure the test Of delay
and deliberation by all the people Is
not one that should be Welded to-
The attitude OF ex-president Roose
Welt is far different and also less
creditable. Mr.. Roosevelt in his COM
ments is explosively critical Of Pres
ident Wilson. What he says with. re-
spect to the nations attitude toward
the Lusitania incident is calculated
to embarrass rather than to help
the national administration and is
suggestive Of political rancor.
Europe is now devastated by war
because suspicion and fear produced
condition of panic that precipitated
widespread hostilities. There is no
glory in doing the wrong thing preci-
pitately. There is immense benefit
and a sufficient amount of glory in
doing the right thing in the right

Mr.. BRYAN'S SOPHISTl-
CATION


~ SWALD G. WILLARD,
W proprietor and editor of
the New York Post, has
written an estimate of Mr.. Bry-
an as secretary of state during
the present trouble. He finds
that he is thoroughly loyal to
the president, is a powerful
and impressive factor in the
administration, has a better
appreciation of national and
international ideals than most
Of his critics, and above all
plays the game fairly and
squarely. pulling as steady an
oar as possible. Yet he be-
lieves that Bryan lacks the So
phistication of the forceful, eff
fective diplomat.
If "sophistication" is all that
Bryan lacks the people Will eX-
cuse him. Most of the coun-
tries having sophisticated di-
plOmats handling their affairs
are now at war. Possibly if we
had a secretary of the sterio-
typed variety we would be
dragged into the fire also.
Mr.. Bryan's plain, truthful
game answers very well, thank
you. 1t has thus far kept the
nation in the path of peace,
Most of the people of this coun-
try are unsophisticated, viewed
from the Willard standpoint,
This is particularly true of
those who would have to do
the fighting if war should
come and it is fortunate in this
crisis that one Of their number
is in a position where he speaks
with the nations authority.

ASTORIA HAS NO BEAR
MEAT

~ HE Morning AstOrian is
W much wroth because the
governor did not appoint
a lower Columbia river man on
the fish and game commission.
It contends that the salmon
fishing and packing business is
the chief industry of the state
and further vents its feelings
with the following:
The governor has shown
himself incompetent in the
building of this commission.
Any man who sacrifices an in
dustry for the edification of
pleasure is incompetent. Any
man who cannot see in the
great fishing and canning en-
terprises in and about Astoria
sufficient reason for represen-
tation on the board governing
that industry is incompetent. "
1t is up to Marion Jack to
square himself and the COVER
nor. Perhaps a little fresh
bear meat would make the
Astoria people feel better.

If local people would devote
to a new Pendleton theatre
fund the money they spend on
gasoline and show tickets in
Walla Walla it would not be
long until we had a first class
playhouse and the good road
troupes would come here.
Italy has a good navy and a
large army all prepared.
Therefore according to our
