"Well, George, this is the day for us
.to acknowledge the corn 'and admit
that you have' whipped the remnants
of the republican party in Oregon to
a standstill. Tou have proven your
self to be a "humdinger" In the vote
getting contest. While our criticism
of you remains unaltered, yet you win
be our senator, just as you will be
every true Oregonlan's senator. '
We have a feeling a rather pecu
liar feeling today, If you please that
the state of Oregon has gone crazy,
rank ciasy In politics and It Is in or
der for a review of the principal
causes for Cake's failure to win. But
when It Is all sized up, George, up one
.fide and down the other, only repub
licans are to be blamed for commit
ting suicide.. There was not so much.
In your proverbial handshake as there
was In the old factional row in the re
publican rami that redounded to your
direct benefit. T'U had the craftiness
sometimes called by a slaughter
house expression to bend these party
discords Into a flume that would run
water on your wheel. We can't
blame you, it .la the men who claim
allegiance to the republican party, and
really have not that allegiance who
ar. to blame for Oregon going demo
cratic. . .
And pow, George, when you get
back to Washington and the fellows
ask you what kind of a people you
represent, just tell them they are the
best people on earth but they have
gone "nutty" In their politics. Tell
' them they can make money, live hap
' pity, build cities and, towns. Improve
' the country, and all the like o' that,
but when It comes to voting they don't
know a cuss-flred thing about It

The Pendleton Commercial club will
end a soliciting committee through

In a boost campaign for the entire
county In which Pendh-ton Is taking
the lead. The party will bo accom
panied by a photographer. Their
main efforts will be made in that por-
tlon if the county between Pendleton
' and Walla Walla. Hlnce the people In
that section supported prohibition Very
enthusiastically, they are expected io
be willing to do a great deal toward
. advertising their resources, and the
county generally.
' m Several prominent members of the
f.ndleton Commercial rltib rrqucsted
their soliciting committee to postpone
. fills trip until after election, but now
that the fight for a dry county has
been won, they expect the property
' owners to give toward a worthy

By the largest majority ever given
in this county to an aspirant to the
office of county recorder, Ibra R.
Snook wan elected last Monday. The
honor was well earned. Mr. Snook
especially in this city.. Hs is a mem
ber of several fraternal organizations,
and is. prominently Identified -wlh
lodge matters. He has served 'two
terms as city recorder, and with cred
it Io himself and profit to the city.
One remarkable fact about Mr. Snook's
campaign Is that It resulted in a vic
tory for him in every precinct in the
county with the exception of 'Big
Creek, where the vote was a tie be
tween him and
his leading opponent,
We predict for him the same credita
ble service in the office' of county re
corder that was given the city during
his two years In Its employ.

Elootlon of Mr. Knonlce as Circuit
Judge logical and Dewrved.
In exercising their franchise for the
election of one of eastern Oregon's
leading attorneys, a man who makes
friends love him and enemies respect
him, to the Important position of Judge
of the circuit court, the ' Voters of
Union and Wallowa counties could not
have well chosen better than they did.
Mr. Knowles ha practiced law with
success in the court of Oregon tor a
number of years. He has proven
himself capable and energetic, and
will add dignity to the office to which
he was elected.. His probity is not
questioned,' and to his legal ability he
adds a most likable personality..
8Und for Something.
The greatest thing that can be aald
of a man, no matter how much he
has achieved, Is that he kept his rec
ord clean.
Why la It that. In spite of the rav
ages of time, the reputation of Lin
coln grows larger and his character
means more to the world every year?
It la because he kept his record clean,
aod never prostituted his ability nor
gambled with his reputation.
Where, in all history, Is there an
example of a man who was merely
rich, no matter how great his wealth,
wfy exerted such a power for good,
who has been such a living force In
civilization, as this poor backwoods
boy? What n powerful llluxtrntlon of
the fact thnt character Is tho greatest
force In the world!
A man asnumea Importance and be
comes a power In the world Just as
soon as It Is found that he stands for
something; that he Is not for sale;
that he will not lease his manhood
for salary, or for any amount of money
or for any Influence or position; that
he will not lend his name to anything
which he cannot endorse.
The trouble with so many men to
(luy Is that they do not stand for any
thing outside their vocation. They
may be well educated, well up In their
specialties, may have a lot of expert
knovtk-dge, but they cannot be de
pended upon. There Is some flaw In
them' which takes the edg" off their
virtue. They may be fairly honest,
but you cannot bnnk on them.
It I not difficult to find a lawyer
or a physician who knows a good deal,
who Is eminent In his profession; but
It Is not st, es.y to find one who Is
a man before be la a lawyer or a phy
sician, whose name I a synonym for
all that Is clean, reliable, solid, sub
stantial. It Is not difficult to find a
food preacher; but It Is not o easy to
'o find a real man, sterling manhood.

" Clilltl Bests a Bishop.
Dr. Ingram, bishop of London, is a
learned eccleslastfc, but he . declared
that at times young children, of whom
he Is extravagantly fond, upset him
badly in their questions. Once he
l - was addressing a gathering ot poor
children, and at the close of his re
marks Invited any boy or girl to ask
him questions. The bishop answered
several, but was finally floored by a
little girl, who asked:
"Please, sir, why did the angels
walk up and down Jacob's ladder
when they had wings?"

, Paper as Clewiwer.
It haa been found that after a stove
has been blackened, It can be kept
looking well for a long time by rub
bing it with an old newspaper every
morning. Rubbing with paper is a
much nicer way of keeping the out
side of a tea-kettle, coffee pot and
tea-pot bright and clean, than the old
way of washing them with suds. Rub
bing with paper is also the best way
of polishing knives, forks, spoons and
tinware; they shine like new sliver.
For polishing mirrors, windows, lamp
chimneys and so forth, an old news
paper Is better than a dry cloth.
