THE CASE OF BIXGEB HERMAN.
Every person In Oregon who Is fa
miliar with the history of the govern
ment's case against Blnger Hermann
will rejoice to know there Is a move
ment started to introduce a bill In
congress to pay to a wronged man the
money he was forced to spend In de
fending himself in two trials, both of
which resulted in failure on the part
of the government official to convict
But the money feature of this is the
least part of it, for If the bill gets
Into congress It will doubtless cause
a complete Investigation of the charg-
mrftlnit Blnger Hermann which
were never proven and which only
served to put a stain upon nis name
and upon the name of Oregon.
The people of this state stand with
Mr. Hermann In hla demand for com
plete Investigation. They do this for
two reasons. One Is because In al-

most every heart there Is a feeling
that a good man has been ruthlessly
imposed upon, and the other reason
is thnt Oregon as a commonwealth
wants that muss cleanod up for her
own good name.
BACK TO THE PICNIC IN THE
(J ROTE.
While many thlnga indicate that the
world Is cantering along at a break
neck speed and that no one has time
for anything but to make money, there
Is some argument against this way of
thinking. The best that has been
shown against It was the Cherry fair
at Cove last Friday when three thou
sand people from over Eastern Ore
gon gathered in the grove, and had a
good old-fashioned picnic, which, cou
pled with music and a short program,
made the occasion one of the most
delightful held In the Grande Honde
valley for many years.
Everyone seemed pleased to relax
and get back to the grove Just as our
ancestors used to do. It was one of
those events where no one wanted to
see a man fly, a motor cycle race with
its usual accidents. In fact, there was
no desire to see anyone killed. On
the other hand the peaceful nature In
mankind asserted Itself, the neighbor
ly feeling showed very prominently
and there was that good feeling to
ward each other which counts for
more than anything else In this wide
world.
We believe there was some balloon
ascensions and stuff of that kind, but
no one cared to see them. Cove has
started right and If she does not
spoil that Cherry fair with a desire
to have a wild west holdup she Is
going to establish one of the nicest,
cleanest social events of the north
west. To the good people of Cove
whose hearts are In the work, who
rala the fruit, and know how to enter
tain their neighbors, the Observer
would respectfully suggest that they
keep the Cherry fair In the same
snlendld attitude that It started by
making It a place for all to gather
and enjoy the day under tne snaae
which nature has provided.
BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR THE FAIR.
With only small blocks of stock to
place the fair committee Is moving
along at a very good speed. Plans are
being worked' out dally for entertain
ment features which Insure to every
visitor a week of solid pleasure and
enjoyment Stock exhibits are pledg
in a way that means the exhibits will
be on hand. Wallowa county has un
dor advisement a plan for a county
exhibit, including every section of that
county, and from every corner of Un
ion county comes the word that rep
resentation will be good and a first-
class exhibit made. Today N. K. West
Is in Baker, arranging with the rac-

OrrOKTl'MTI LIES WESTWARD.
"Go west, young man." Nearly or
quite half a century has passed since
Horace Greeley uttered this sage ad
vice. Millions of young men have
profited by It. The west has grown
and blossomed and prospered. Today
the same advice Is repeated by Ave
greiit financiers of the east. The west
still possesses boundless opportuni
ties. They are here to be grasped by
young men of energy and attainments,
remarks the Oregonlan.
On July Mth t'ie Now York World
published a full page symposium of
opinions It hid received from men of
, prominence In tlio fields of politics,
I business and finance. These opinions

Boston financier. "Were I graduat-,
lng today from college east, west or
south," he says, "I would head for
the great undeveloped northwest. I
would buy my ticket for Portland,
Oregon." ,
A. B. Hepburn, chairman of the
board of directors of the Chase Na
tional bank of New York, mentions
Oregon, with Washington, Montana.
Idaho and British Columbia. "I should
say," he continues, "that for a young
man Just leaving college the most
promising field Is the northwest, and
that In regard to a calling or profes
sion to follow he may Just as well
follow his own Inclination, for provd
Ing he Is eager to work he wilt find

"Be self-reliant, keep minute ac
counts and go west of Chicago," In
brief Is the advice given by William
Sherer. manager of the New York
Cleamg House association.
B. F. Bush, president of the Mis
souri Pacific railroad, declares that
the best chances for success He west
of the Mississippi river.
From F. I Wilfc, banker and rail
road mm of Chlaso, comes fie opin
ion that for a young man thrown upon
bis own resources the west and north
west offer the best opportunities.
Of seven men quoted, only one,
James G. Cannon, president of the
Fourth National bank, New York City,
specifically advises the young man to
remain In the east. "Stay right at
home and be a farmer in New York
slate," he says In effect.
Governor Thomas R. Marshall of
Indiana urges young men to take up
scientific farming. Indeed, this open
ing Is pointed out by nearly all the
writers as one of the most promising
of the day.
There U more than one significance
In the suggestions. These men are
successful In life, observant of con
ditions. In touch with the Industrial,
commercial and financial phases of
every large locality. Doubtless their
recommendations will promote settle
ment of lands where It Is most need
ed. Moreover, there Is an Implied
endorsement therein of western de
velopment enterprises. These finan
ciers have spoken their confidence In
the northwest. Their opinions onKl-.t

"Go west, young man" has been
sound advice for 60 years. It will re

has sustained the prophetic vision of
tfce man who first gave It to th
world.
