The man the standpatters would like to hit mere than all the others combined Is the man In To Discredit the h!te house the Wilson, man who under a bur den of sorrow and re sponsibility stands as the true and fearless exponent of the best there Is In Americanism. The standpat brigade wanU to beat Smith and elect Withycombe and beat Chamberlain and elect Booth so the word will go over the country that the administration forces lost out In Oregon and that the voters here have repudiated the policies of the presi dent Tet these critics have nothing con structive to offer themselves The Journal has pointed this out thor oughly by asking the following o.ues tlons: What would these critics of Wood row Wilson do? What act of Wood row Wilson'a would they reverse? Would they repeal the income tax and return to taxing property in stead of wealth? Would they repeal the Underwood tariff and re-enact the Payne-Aldrich tariff, a tariff that robbed an the people for the benefit of a few man ufacturers and that drove nearly all Its framers Into exile? Would they repeal the new cur rency law and again put us under the panic-breeding banking and currency system, which made the Morgan Rockefeller group of money kings, the masters of the credit and money of this country? Would they overthrow the regional banks with people's control of credit and return to the former system of Wall Street control of credit? Would they destroy the reserve banking system with elastic currency and restore the old system with the money reserves all In New York, where, as In 107, of the millions they had piled up In Wall Street money cheRts, outside banks could not tret a cent, though those millions were used on the stock exchange in the wildest Mock gambling any nation ever saw? Would they throw aside the new system and go back to the plan under which, when we wanted our money for panic times, the banks would not give It to us. but Instead gave us clearing house certificates baaed sole ly on faith in the banks and Issued without authority of law? Would they repeal Woodrow Wil son's anti-trust bills? Are they against his plan for gov ernment control of the Issue of rail road securities by which stock water ing and stock Jobbing are to be end ed? Do tley want repeal of the trade commlsNlon law by which huge com binations are to be prevented from conspiring together for the robbery of the masses of the American people? Would they repeal the new Wilson law by which it Is proposed not mere ly to tickle trust magnates with petty fines but when they violate the law to send them to the penitentiary? Would they repeal the Chamberlain Impropriation of $35,000,000 for a rail road in Alaska and the coal leasing law which saves Alaska resources to the American people Instead of giv ing the great wealth of that empire over to Guggenheim? j Would they give the government of the United States back to Wall Street? With debt and devastation falling lke a great cataclysm over bloody Eu rope, would they reverse the Woodrow Wilson peace policy and still drive us Into a desolating war with Mexico at a cost of hundreds of millions of money and thousands of priceless American lives? What do these calamity screams by the standpat squad, these Chinese egi sobs mean but an attack on the thing: Woodrow Wilson has done? Woodrow Wilson has done wha Abraham Llncon would have done Wood row Wilson's work Is what Abra ham Lincoln's work would have been The standpat squad In Oregon Is more out of tune with the republican masses In Oregon than Is Woodrow Wilson, bridges and did not get good work at thut. The county was charged twice as much and more per pound for steel In county bridges than was paid per Pound by the city for the steel In the Main and Matlock street bridges. , Yet the rnun who was head of the county's business affairs while this cess. Trosently. they would boldly claim that the referendum of the as sembly nominations. Instead of be lug dono in the direct primary could as well be done at the flection, and with that as their appeal, they could Plead abandonment of the primary as a means of saving cost and would be able to present a strong cuse. That there Is some such nroirram stealing was underway asks the voters In view is beyond doubt, for the rea for vindication and complains he Is 8n that Dr. Withycombe, the Oregon- abused because the East Oregonlan Is showing up his own rotten record. If the taxpayers of Umatilla county want to vindicate such a record go to It. Ian, and others, are already declaring that the direct primary "costs too much," and for the further reason that the Oregonlan, In an unguarded moment, said of the present assem bly bill that It is "politically prema ture." while the Salem Statesman said of it "not yet ready for this." It is time for the people of the state to realize that they are far from se cure In the possession of their direct primary. There are strong men back of the pending assembly bill, and thousands of them. Money Is belna- Tl ItCOS" Oil AFRICAN TROOPS spent like water to secure Its dsiua OF FRANCE.

FEW FOLKS HAVE GRAY HAIR NOW DRUGGIST SAYS LADIES ARB US ING RECIPE OF SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR. Hair that loses Its color and lustre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and life lem, is cuuaed by a lack of sul phur In the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, snd thousanJs of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which Is so attractive, use only this old-time recipe. Nowadays we get this famous mix ture by asking at any drug store for a tO-cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound." which dark ens the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tel It has been applied. Besides, It takes off dandruff, stops scalp itching and fall ing hair. You Just dampen a sponge or soft brush with It and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; but what ue llKhts the Indies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is that, besides beauti fully tliti kftiliig the hair after a few applications, It also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives It an ap jrnranoe of abundance. Now Is a good time for local peo pie to hark back to one October day two years ago when a He Stood for group cf businessmen Pendleton. on the invitation of the Commercial Club managers gathered at a luncheon at the Hutel St. George to show honor to Dr. C. J. Smith and T. C. Taylor wh were then preparing to leave the city Both men had been faithful, wheel horses for years In the upbuilding o Pendleton and Umatilla county. It was the general desire to honor these men In emphatic manner so they would know the people of Pendleton appreciated the services they had rendered this oommunlty. The high compliment paid Dr. Smith at that time Is particularly worthy of mention now because he Is a nominee for governor. Two years ago he was hailed as a man who did great things for Pendleton and eastern Oregon and he was given the warmest praise by speakers repre senting all political factions. It was a time when the mask was off and men spoke what was in their hearts. The things said of Dr. Smith two years ago are as true now as they were then. The Dr. Smith who was then praised as having labored ear, nestly and effectively for the com munity's welfare and for the advance ment of the county is the same Dr. Smith who is running for governor. Two years ago the people of Pen dleton thought so much of Dr. Smith's efforts in behalf of the town and country that at the instigation of re publicans they gave a luncheon in his honor, presented him with a silver card case as token of their esteem and passed resolutions warmly com mending him. It was a nice compli ment to Dr. Smith and it was well deserved because no man ever worked harder or more ably than he for the city's welfare and progress. At the polls next Tuesday local people will have a chance to show in even more convincing manner their i faith In their former townsman and In his ability and fitness. Roll up a vote that will show Pendleton stands by thoe who stand by Pendleton. More skullduggery in connection wih bridge building under the GI11I land regime Is More Skullduggery e x p osed today. Exposed. After obtaining contracts at ex tortionate prices without having to compete for them Eberhart was allow ed by the old court to substitute plan and give the county lighter bridges than he had bid upon. Yet the county paid for the heavier type of bridges. Yet such occurrences were natural under the system that prevailed. It was a system to breed swindla and graft. It is after all not surprising E'berhart took advantage of his oppor tunity to fk-ece the taxpayers of the county. No private business concern would have tolerated for a half second the plan that was followed by the old court It was a plan thut absolutely eliminated any honest competition No outside competitor dared to K aualnnt the game as it was managed. As a result of that system tfils (.ounty paid two prices for stoel larger than the North American con tinent by Just two million square mues. ner actual noiuings m Ainca If the devout kn,er of Germany, take In a rich area nearly twice thator tne equaIly devout king of Belgl of continental United States.

The newspapers here are raving over the expenses of this European war. The money spent in It la a mere bagatelle? to the wealth of em pire that may be won or lost by it. England almost went to war with France sixteen years ago because the latter was too rapidly absorbing the African continent. When Captain Marchand took the territory covering the water sources of the Nile, with the ultimate possibility of diverting them into the Sahara desert, the Fashoda incident was created. Eng land demanded his retreat with war as an alternative. France withdraw Marchand, but the incident left a bit. ter feeling. The truth Is that the continent of Africa, some thirty years ago was stolen and divided like a big, luscious pie among various European nations, and Germany came late -at the cutting. Worse yet, France hav ing seen the pie first, got the big gest share: "When the English occupy a coun try," runs an international saying, they build a customhouse; the Ger mans a fort; the French a road." To day the French have 6000 miles of railway, 25,000 miles of telegraph and 10,000 miles of telephone in Africa Trees, grass, cattle, oats, wheat, dates wine, grapes, olives, potatoes and beans are grown In abundance. The fisheries of the coast country have been made productive. Whether France will be tricked out of her African possessions to which Incidentally may be added the huge island of Madagascar on the southeast coast as Franco has of so many of her colonial possessions Is yet to be seen. It Is well worth Germany's time and money to try it. But ln the present war what Ger many has long reared has come to pass. France Is using her black ar my! Two years ago General Fried- rich von Bernhardl of the German army wrote: "If the French succeed In making a large African army avail able for a European theater, the es timate of the French army as com pared to ours will be quite different" The quality of these troops is excel lent Hardy by nature, the best of training has been given them. The example is set by the regiments of wild white troops known as the le gion etrangere and the battalion Jes Joyeax. These troops made up for the most part of Frenchmen too wild to serve In home regiments, have the reputation of fearing neither God nor man. Their battle cry is: "II a e la groutte a bolre la haut!" (There's something to drink up ti.ere!")) The African troops, made up of Arabs, Berbers and other races. ed by French officers are apt pupils for war. hotter than whit men tind have nev-1 le&V6. er been known to shirk their share of a fight. In the Initial mobilization of French troops, an army crops of these troops were thrown across the MeJIterrary?an, protected by the pow erful French fleet at Toulon. With war declared at the end of July, by August 8 black troops were leading bayonet charges at Altklrch and Mu elhausen on German frontiers. call: "Prepare war. wake up the mighty I men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up. Beat yourj Plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears. Let the! weak say 'I am strong.' " But Mr. Bryan, our secretary of state, has two texts to show against I this one. He can quote Isaiah xl:4: "And he shall Judge among the na tions, and shall rebuke many people; and they shall beat their swords Into plowshares, and their spears Into! pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." j Also what Is almost a paraphrase! I from Islah, ln MIcah lv:3: And he shall Judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords Into plowshares and their spears Into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against na tion, neither shall they learn war any more." It Is Just possible that the Nebraa- kan would prefer thV text of MIcah, though Micah was only a minor I prophet like Joel. The phrase I "strons nations afar off" seems to have much of timeliness.

Pendleton People Hare Absolute Proof of Deeds at nonte. It's not words but deeds that prove! true merit. (From the Journal.) If the bill to revive the assembly should pass, there would soon arise a demand for the repeal of the direct primary. That demand would be pressed with vigor. It would be pressed by those who believe In the assembly, and there are many such. They would shriek and scream about the "cost of the direct primary," and on that ap peal they would be able to present n case that superficially would he plausible. They would argue, and with truth on thetr side, that there Is no need of both the assembly and the direct primary. They would point out that a double system of nominating with recommendations by the assembly and a tro're referendum of the assem bly nominations bv the direct pri mary would be a cumbersome and '.Ux.i!y unnvressary nominating pro-1 The deeds' of Doan's Kidney Pills, For Pendleton kidney sufferers Have made their local reputation. Proof lies In the testimony of Pen-I dleton people. S. P. Hutchinson, prop, mill and feed store, 110 W. Webb street Pendleton, Ore., says: "I was caused a great deal of suffering by a dull pain ln my back, Just over my kid neys. For a long time I dldnt think It was caused by weak kidneys, but I often noticed that my kidneys wero sluggish and that the kidney secre tions did not pass freely. I used Doan's Kidney Kills for these ali ments and they relieved the pain in my back and trouble with the kidney secretalons. I recommended Doan's Kidney Pills then, and I am now glad to confirm that statement. I still use this remedy with very good results."

AW-APPEAL TO WOMEN By Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway, PIONEER MOTHER AND PATH BREAKER OF THE EQUAL SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT I N OREGON, WASHINGTON AND IDAHO takes this method to extend her greetings to such HONEST CHRISTIAN WOMEN as she de voutly believes are being LED ASTRAY in the present Prohibition crises BY THE CRAFTI NESS OF AMBITIOUS MEN. Have you forgotten, my inexperienced daughters, who are listening to HIRED AND IMPORTED AGITA TORS, to consult your Bibles? Do you recall the fate of One, who, upon entering the enemy's country "to seek and to save that which was lost," was ostracised, derided and finally crucified by SELF STYLED "BEST PEOPLE," who still "love to pray, Standing in the Synagogues and on the Street Comers, to be Seen of Men." Are you obeying the Divine command of Him who said. "Woe unto you Scribes. Pharisees. HTPOcniTES?" Do you forget that he urged his followers to "RE SIST NOT EVIL" but to "OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD?" Can't you remember that Ho warned the people to AVOID DRUNKEN ESS, and. while graphically de picting the. woes of the drunkard. HE AT NO TIME ADVOCATED THE MAKING .OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANT LAW. EXCEPT THE LAW OF SELF-GOVERNMENT, as applied to the abuse of Intoxicants In Individual cases? When He said. "Woe unto him that putteth the bottle to his neighbor's lips." can't you see that It was not the "TRAFFIC" but the MEN WHO MISUSED IT, that were accursed? When He admonished the people against "tarrying long at the wine," using such vigorous language against Intemperance as no man can equal, can't you see that His warning was NOT AGAINST THE USE OF THE WINE HUT AGAINT THE ABUSE OF IT? As my space Is limited and advertising rates come high. I must confine this letter to such quotations of Scripture as can be paid for; to I must be brief- and I must cite you to Matt '11-19 as follows: "The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say BEHOLD A MAN GLUTTONOUS AND A WINE BIBBER, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is Justified of her children." Again, to quote the sayings of Paul: "For why is my LIBERTY Judged of an-olher man's CONSCIENCE?" (Cor. 10-IJ.) ."But the fruit of the spirit Is love. Joy. peace, long suffering, gentle ness, goodness, faith and meekness. Temperance; AGAINST UCH THERE IS NO LAW." (Gal. parts of verses 19-21, 22 and 2J.) Now. my enfranchised daughters of the modern day churches for whose PFrt SONAL LIBERTY and thot of other people I HAVE GIVEN MY LIFE. If there ! enough of the spirit of Ingratitude In your heurts to wean you from the above teach ings of the Christ and his followers and to cause you to approve the FALSEHOOD VULGARITY. HATE and INTOLERANCE which is displayed by the Anti-Saloon League in on open letter In the Evening Telegram of October S. you will cost your votes with the spirit of Anti-Christ as displayed bv the authority of the CELF on OANIZED CONSPIRACY that gave it birth. But. by so doing, you will crucify the Savior of sinners afresh "and put Him to open shame."

Including the Mother Sex' can go before the Incoming Legislative assemblies of such states guided by the spirit of Christ, "who came to break every yoke and let the oppressed go free." where they can offer a solution of the evils we all complain of, WHICH MEN ALONF HAVF VriT BEEN ABLE TO MEET AND CONQUER SINCE THE DAWN OF HISTORY VOTE m ii en Dry towns wilhtay dry if the proposed prohibition amend ment is defeated, and the present local option and home rule statutes will continue in force.
