They want as mayor a man whom they can rely up or to see that the path or vrogress Is not unjustly blocked. The East Ore ginian believed and believes yet that Mayor Murphy Is such a man. For that reason, more than for any other reason. It ndvised his election. This paper Is glad that Mr. Furphy was elected and it predicts that his election will go down In history as the begin ning of a new era in Pendleton the. era of a growth and development such as this city has never known before. SHOri.l) HE EASY XOW. When the old Hunt road, now the Northern Pacific branch line, was built to Pendleton its promoters ask ec! for a straight bonus amounting to much more than the Washington-Ore. grn company now asks of Pendleton in the way of subscriptions for stock. Pendleton citizens raised something like $60,000 for the Hunt road. Who will now say that money was not well invested? Through securing that road Pendleton was given connection with two transcontinental railways Instead1 of one. In other words we have com peting lines into this city and it is a very satisfactory condition of affairs. It s a situation that prevails in no other city in the state save Portland. Pendleton has profited greatly by hav ing that road. Xow if Pendleton could raise ffiO, fOO for the Hunt road when this place was but a straggling village nnd Tinfn no one had any money surely it will not be hard to secure $;0,000 with which to purchase stock in the new traction company. A traction system will means much more' to the city than did the Hunt road. A COOS HAY VIEW. 4 WHY Ml'KPlIY WOX. The recent battle for the mayorality was not fought on moral lines. The efforts of the organ of the vanquished to make such appear the rase are silly and are derogatory to the city. Such utterances seek to place Pendleton In the light of being sinful and satisfied with sin. Pendleton has had too much of that class of notoriety already. Let's have no more of it. There was a time several years ago when morality was the big and live Issue in this town. At that time gambling was wide open and some 28 or 30 saloons were running night and flay and Sundays. Vice and immor ality were rampant and good citizens were ashamed of the town. A clean ing up crusade was started and the East Oregonian led that fight. It was a red hot fight as many well remem ber for the monster of Immorality was well entrenched. The fight meant loss o' much money to the East Oregonian and it meant personal danger for the men upon this newspaper. Many of the recent Swinburne leaders were then loud in cursing the East Ore gonian and in trying to boycott this paper. The Tribune was a Journalistic swamper for the saloon Interests. But that fight is over and It was won. The gamblers and the macques were driven from this city and the saloons forced to take on a measure of decency. Then the county voted dry and the sale of liquor was made Illegal. Since that time the proposition has been one of adjustment more than anything elBe. There are problems till to be worked'out. The East Ore gonian favors working them out In accordance with common sense and regardless of the interests of saloon men or of any one else directly or In directly connected with the liquor bus iness. The attempt of the recent opponents oi Mayor Murphy to raise a moral Is sue was ridiculous. The records of the Swinburne leaders were against them. If they wanted to do something for morality they should have gotten busy when the fight was on several years ago. The East Oregonian be lieved and believes yet that they made the morality plea for campaign pur poses only. The big subject of Interest in Pen dleton now Is how to promote the ma. tcrial advancement of this city. Though the town is In avery prosper ous condition It Is not growing aa It should and It has not grown to any extent for several years. It Is up to the people of this city to get Into the harness and- to work hard and In unl scn for the upbuilding of this city. We can make Pendleton grow If we want to. Cities are what their people make them. It was because Mayor Murphy stood as the candidate of the progressive The Coos Bay Times, which bears under its name plate the slogan that it is "Independent Republican" but recently commented as follows upon tl.e "assembly" plan: "The Times will not be represented at t ll 13 meeting. The Times is first, last and all times unalterably op posed to any tampering with the direct primary law. The assembly propo sition is but a thinly disguised plan of the Portland machine polilcians who want to overthrow the direct primary law. direct election of United t-tates senators, and direct legislation under the initiative and referendum. Unable to amend the laws enacted by the peo ple to secure a purer form of govern ment, having lost the power of nomi nating candidates, the machine pro poses to subvert and overthrow the di et nomination system by holding conventions to be called assemblies In counties, and in the city o' Portland for the whole state and select candi dates for county offices, for the legis lature, and judicial and state offices instead of letting the pei.ple make nominatiwns direct. All nominating conventions are forbidden by law. The people should be warned from this time forth and every day and every hour that if they yield to the clamor for holding political assemblies for such a purpose they will surrender all they have gained in the way of great fundamental reforms in Oregon." There are plenty of indications that the assembly move will have very "rough sledding." The utterance or the Coos Bay Times is one of them. WORKERS NEEDED. N'ewspaperB must fight and they must work for their towns. The East Oregonian has done some of both In its time and it is willing to do either for Pendleton whenever the occasion demands. Just now however, this city is in need of workers more than any thing else. The call is for patriotic and public spirited men who will lend their Influence and put up their mon ey in order to forward the advance ment of this city. The big' tasks before Pendleton at this time are to secure a traction sys tm and to work for the extension of the Umatilla Irrigation project. When those tasks are accomplished Pendle tcn will be In line to be the Spokane of Oregon. After Pendleton gets thafnew trac tion line there will be little room for pessimism and for croaking fn this city. Pendleton .will go forward and it will not be long until the world hears of our progress and prosperity. These "old time" winters with much snowfall are not bad. Snow means moisture and moisture is always wel come In eastern Oregon. A word to the wise shop early. HE WEXT TOO FAR. "Can't you trust me dear?" The young wife looked longingly up Into the face of her husband, whose eyes held that troubled look that comes to a man when he begin to doubt for the first time. It was their first parting; and as he gazed around him at the gay and brilliant scene In the summer hotel and saw the well dressed men glancing at the radiantly beautiful creature at his side, he heav ed an involuntary sigh. Could she con. tlnue to be true to him? "Darling," he replied, "you do not know what this summer life means you have never tasted its delights be fore, idly seeking for amusement, some fascinating stranger will be presented to you. and with him you will wander along the bench or sit on the pias::a in the moonlight. Your ob ligations as a wife will fade before this delightful reality; and especially, a you exchange sympathies with him, you will suddenly begin to realize that there Is another world of feeling out side of what you have hitherto ex perienced. Perhaps that other one will sound a new note of sympathy and intimate relationship that I have not possessed for you. You will struggle in vain against the voice of duty nnd all the new variances of an awakened love, all the more fascinating becnuse it Is wrong, will find harbor in y.v.:: breast. Ah. my darling, you . Mule know the temptations which will corrn when you are away from me." His wife looked at him for a mo ment in silence. Then she said: "Dear, I guest I had better not stay here. I will go back to town with you." "Oh, no, darling, I do not ask that; I merely want to warn you." But her voice was hard and cold she replied: "No dear, I shall go. I may V able to get along all right, but you talk altogether too well to be trusted alone for two weeks in a great city In summer time." v FACTS AHOt'T RUSSIA. The Tenderfoot Farmer It waa one ot these experimental farmers, who put green gpcctucles on his eow and (ed her shavin&i. His theory was that it didn't matter what the cow ate ao long at aha was (ed. The questions oi digestion and nourishment bad not entered into his calculations. It's only a "tenderfoot" farmer that would try such an experiment with a cow. But many a farmer feecia him self regardless of digestion and nutrition. He might almost as well eat shav ings for nil the good he geti out of his food. The result is that the stomaob grows "weak." the action of the organs of digestion and nutrition are impaired and tho man suClts the miseries of dyspepsia and the agonies of nervousness. . To streunthcn the stomach, restore the activity ot the or tans ot digestion and nutrition and brace up the nerves, use Dr. Pierce's Gulden Medical Discovery.
