THE JOY-HELIX.
I will break forth In Kinging.
In singing on my. way,
As I fro faring onward-
To where the Joy-bells play,
They play for me Mark time,
mark time!
Before the dawn I heard them
chime,
And trembled at their rinsing.
The Lord, He set them swing-
lng
The hours of this day. O
And I go onward singing,
Oh, singing on my wayt

Since that city election December
1 many things have come to light
showing how ac
The Cloven Hoof tlve was the hand
Becomes More of the Pacific
Fully Disclosed. Power & Light
Co. in the attacks
made upon the water board and in be
kalf of Dr. J. A. Best's candidacy. Not
" the least Interesting piece of informa
tion coming to the surface is the news
that CoL J. H. Raley, attorney for the
Pacific Power & Light Co., was the
supervisor of the various literary ef
forts by Dr. Best and Is even said to
fcaV written some of the stuff him
elf.
This news is not surprising to the
East Oregonlan for this paper has
been aware all the time that the elec
tric forces were fighting the gravity
water project and that the inspiration
for the abuse and vilification of the
water board came chiefly from that
quarter. The East Oregonlan has
contended time and again that the
only real crime of the water com
mission has consisted In the advocacy
of a gravity system that will eliminate
heavy pumping charges and will also
tring a municipal electric project
within reach of the city in the event
Pendleton should decide to secure
such a plant.
Disclosures that are coming to light
dally verify this contention and prove
beyond any possible doubt that this
paper was absolutely right in its view
of the matter and In the advice it gave
the voters of this city. These facts
show the people were outrageously
deceived by the "antis."
The attacks on the water boaro
have not had the earmarks of Indi
vidual attack. There is no reason on
earth why any man for reasons of
good citizenship should assail the wa
ter board as has been done or seek to
heemlrch the merits of the gravity
water project. It Is a good project
and those four men are. giving Pen
dleton honest service.
The venomous assaults on the wa
ter board have come from an utterly
elfish quarter and those attacks have
not ben made because Will Moore,
Marion Jack. O. I. Ledow and J. T.
Browa have done anything wrong, but
because they have done right It is
also known that Dr. Best's frequently
made assertion that an Immense sum
of money must be raised by another
bond Issue If the project Is to be com
pietea comes irom that same
auspicious source. It Is plainly
a crafty scheme to tie up the
gravity project It Is a still further
effort to bamboozle the people and
get them to oppose their own wel
fare. It In the very l'mlt .of lmpu
dence and chicanery.
it is a scneme mat must not go
through. Pendleton cannot afford It
It Is not a question of attacking a cor
poration. It is a question of self de
fense. It ts a question whether the
whole people shall sit idly by and al
low a selfish, unscrupulous outfit with
Ms lackeys and lawyers to ride rough
hod over the community and choke
down our efforts at growth and pro-sress.
What elsewhere is a matter of con
Jeeture the state welfare commission
'of Orecon has reduced to a certainty.
j Ey unanimous vote it decides that
' "the minimum sum required to rus-
tain a self-supporting woman In fru
Kul. but decent, conditions ot living
is a week."
No commission could have readied
this conclusion without the support
of public t.pinion and the concurrence
of many women likely to be directly-
affected .by it. The solution o'f the
problem, even in its ineipiency, so far
as one commonwealth is concerned-
la a noteworthy achievement "In the
field of social and economic progress.
Whether the .decision is wise or un
wise time alone will prove, but tthe
fact that an issue everywhere dis-
cussed can be put to the test ia
free and enlightened state under the
most favorable conditions is of .the
greatest value to all states. If Ore'
gon Is able to fix a minimum wage
for women there are 47 other states
which in time may accept the prin
ciple and give it a wider application
The value of this system of local
self-government ia too often lost
sight by hasty reformers who want
everything regulated by national de
cree at Washington. Our numerous
tates are the proper field for expert
mentation. What is good will sur
vive. What is bad will perish. St
Louis Post-Dispatch.
Julius Williams may justly complain
of his manner of death. A big game
hunter deserves something more fit
ting than to be drowned in a rain bar
rel. His fata Is similar to that of the
elephant slayer who himself was kill
ed by a peanut wagon.
Christmas business In Pendleton
was good and It was especially good

time, and beautiful miles oi

Sittin" alone In the firelight, 1 live In
the grace of a day
When Love- came In meadows of
Morning and kissed all Life's
sorrows away.
O wind of the wearisome winter, still
toss, to my desolate breast
The gold of her beautiful tresses, and
sing me Life's love song of rest
F. L. Stanton.
STILL EXlMtKSSlYR.
The world of song advances
Very fast;
Last year's pet phrase lies buried
In the past.
Yet there Is one will linger
To the last
For when you catch her ogling.
By surprise
That maid whose glance Is soft yet
Rather wise,
Can anything compare with
"Goo-go eye?" Judge.
THE IDEAL IX MTTSIC.
Under the title "The Master Speaks"
some one writes In the Harvard Mw
sical Review a homily which may oe
read to profit by everv worker wim
understands that there .is something
better to achieve than worldly suc
cess. The master and a group of stu
dents are seen as they sit round the
fire under a bust of Gluck. Gluck
was a man of few notes, as so many
great men have been men of few
words, and this music master in
found admonishing his students to
burn their most cherished composi
tions. Their greatness will be best
een In this. Works that might win
them facile success, the applause of
the symphony audience, the gratitude
of the singer whose voice they flat
ter, these should be burned because
they are not the best music that each
can write. The man who has cour
age to burn his music because ne
knows he can do better and will not
give less than his best .this Is the man
who may write some day a piece of
great music.
No man deserves success, says the
teacher, but he who can do without
It Success is given to one and not
to another, and tme Judges them
equals, or perhaps awards the palm
to the neglected. Do they think he
Is talking poetry, that he really does
not mean them to reiect a success
wthin their grasp? No. he would
spurn success. He advises his von no
men to burn their riches and their
success and follow after what they
Know to be best and thatalone. Tne
true man will always do his best,
even If he knows that he is never to!
have success. What is It to write
great music? To be original Is not
to be great Every artist Is the heir of
tne an that went before him. None
begins at the beginning, but where
those before have left off. And whv
shall they bum their music? Be
cause tne truly great will survive.
Look into the music you love. What
is left of it after it is reduced to the
simplest piano score and its few voic
es? So reduce your own work to Its
simplest terms and see what is life,
and If what is left is great
What Is the essential nart of a a-lv
en bit of music? The part that is
common to all men. It is easy enough
to write for musicians, who k
your art and applaud your cleverness
But the hard thing is to write music
for the ordinary mass of men nn.i
women. They care nothing for the
name or an, tney win hear only what
really speaks to them. You can
learn how to address this erent mi
dience If you learn to know and love
the people. Every great composer
Knows more than his art He touch
es human experience on many sides,
ana ne bums the common hope.
THE DREAM OF A DREW
'I.
With the dream of a dream in the
shadows
Winter is with me once more;
The cold wind is shakln' the win
dows and clinkln' the latch on
the door;
The stars have been blown from the
gray sky, and lonesome is fall
In the snow;
The winters are colder and darker
than they were In the far long
ago.
IL
Slttin' alone, In the firelight pictures
of places of old
Come to me still In their beauty; a
dream-face, with tresses of
gold.
And eyes like the blue o"the heav
ens, or violets rimmed with
the dew
And the fire still says In its singing:
"Your sweetheart Is looking at
rour
III.
For we're never too old for the love
dreams; though the locks on
our temples fall gray.
Our sweethearts are ever our sweet
hearts; the heart's where the
dreams love to stay;
I know that the room holds a Pres
ence from days ever deathless
and bright.
