Stanton, in Atlanta Constitution. CONGRESS AND RECLAMATION In the attitude of the present con gress towards national irrigation the west is vitally interested. Therefore the news that the two big leaders of the senate and the house are opposed to giving any further aid to the recla mation service is bad though not necessarily discouraeine. It is to be expected that there will be opposition to the bonding plan and perhaps to anything else proposed for the benefit of irrigation in the west. During the past year it has Been plain that there is an undercurrent of op position to government irrigation. There are those who would like to see the reclamation service discredited be cause they say the move is paternal istic. Others dislike it because the reclamation service was a Roosevelt policy. Then there are some private Irrigation enterprises that are jealous of the government's activity in recla mation work. But perhaps the great est objection comes from eastern in fluences. The east is not interested in the development of the west or at least eastern senators choose to take that view. Perhaps they fear that af ter the arid plains of the west have been watered and the center of popu lation has shifted westward New England will no longer control the country. In order to offset these forces the western senators and congressmen must agree upon what they want and then p'resent a united front. With the influence of President Taft and the Interior department back of them they should be able to muster suffi cient strength to carry the day despite the opposition of Senator Aldrlch and Speaker Cannon. At this time it would be disasterous to have the national reclamation work hampered, through lack of funds. The reclamation work is now well under way and the government should by all means complete existing projects and make needed extensions. Then as further funds become available under the operations of the reclama tion act new projects should be under taken. In no other way may the big projects be successfully reclaimed. A FIENDISH BUSINESS. Beyond all question the hottest part of hell should be reserved for the fiends, of both sexes, who engage In what is commonly callea the white slave trade. The occupation of these people consists in luring women and girls, through various false pretenses. Into lives of shame. The white slavers operate most extensively among the immigrant class, doubtless because the aewcomers being unfamiliar with the language and with the customs of the country become easily duped. . In his message to congress Presi dent Talt devoted a paragraph to the subject of the white slifve trade. He cays there Is urgent necessity for ad ditional legislation and greater exe cutive activity to suppress this grow ing evil. The president also express ed the belief that It will be constitu tional to forbid, under penalty, the transportation of persons for purposes of prostitution across national and state lines. He asks congress to ap propriate 50,000 for use by the de partment of comment and labor in employing inspectors to " ferret out those engaged in the practice and to bring them to Indictment and convic tion under a federal law. It will be well If congress will pass the legislation asked for by the presl dentv HavSifo handle what is com. monl'y WioTii as the social evil is a perploxffij?f7roblem. Upon this sub Ject experienced social workers differ in opinion. But regarding how to deal with those who augment the ranks of the fallen through the methods used by the white slave trader it should be easy to agree. Theirs Is a despicable calling. No man engages in that traf fic who does not have the soul of a coyote. Those who are) caught and convicted" might well be burned at the stake. I.IKES PENDLETON. Only last evening a well known lo cal man came back from Walla Walla and he ha'd some very Interesting ob servations to make with respects to the Garden City as compared to Pen dleton. Since his company operates in Walla Walla as well as in this city he probably would not like to have hit name used, yet the following is the substance of what he said: "I would rather live in Pendleton any day than in Walla Walla. That town has too many delapidated busi ness buildings and too many Junk simp stores. There are not as many ptople on the streets as in Pendleton; you are liable to break your neck step ping off a Walla Walla sidewalk be cause they are not graded. There is only one hotel in Walla Walla. I was there the other evening and I heard people speak scoffingly of Pendleton because it is dry. But dry or wet this town is far ahead of Walla Walla in proportion to its size. If this place had been provided with traction ' fa cilities such as Walla Walla has had for a number of years Pendleton would be far ahead of Walla Walla In every way." This is the substance of an actual statement made last night in all can dor by a man who has no interest in this town save that he represents a corporation which operates here. He has no connection of any sort with the proposed electric road for Peiiille ti n, and as between Walla Walla and Pendleton stands as a disinterested spectator. Pendleton could well afford to raise a fund for the purpose of sending some of its pessimists n a trip through the other towns of the north west. Every one would return en thusiastic in praise of this city. SHOULD BE ARBITRATED. The interest of the public in the switchmen's strike is in seeing the strike settled. Of the merits of the controversy between the striking railroaders and their employers the average man knows but little. Doubt less there is merit upon both sides. But the general public has a better case than has either the switchmen or the railroad companies. The pub lic relies upon the railroads and the railroad men to handle freight. It Is their business to do this and at this time of the year when much fuel is used and when heavy shipments in other lines are being made it would be a public calamity te have the wheels of commerce blocked by a con tinued strike. In .the switchmen's strike and in the threatened general railroad strike there Is a powerful ar gument for a national law compelling such corporations as railroad compan ies to submit labor disputes to arbi tration. Boosting, liket charity, should begin at home. Unfortunately this city has had some very persistent knockers within its own borders. Without rea son they have unjustly complained about this city. But the day of pes imism is now past. Every local Pen dletonian belongs to the booster bri gade. Those who still insist on whin ing Bhould be shown the door.

It ha no use for nice fresh meat: th nii.fi,... fool would rather eat som nimii that died last year; and so the jacka?, far and near, is shunned bv self-m- specting brutes, and slugged with rocks, and bricks and boots. And men whose language is decayed, who make profanity a trade, are 11 e the jackal of the wild, that hunts around for things defiled. In all your rounds you'll never find a healthy, clean and gentle mind possessed by any son of wrath whose language needs 'a Turkish bath.
