He also devoted avfew momertts to discussion of the ice trust and Mavor VanWyck's and, Mr. Crokerrs connection' therewith, while tney were aeciaiming in their public utterances against all trusts. He then proceeded as-" follows: - "Now, gentlemen, ! nave a rignc to ask that you take our. promises, because, in the past,-our promises have squared with our performances, andI wish you. to compare them' with our , opponents prophecies and' see ' ttfe result. 'I, have spoken to you, gentlemen, about preach lnr. the uosoel of hate. The foulest wrong that can be done to o'ur citizen-; shiR Is done by the man who"6reaches . that gospel. Whether he preaches to tne employer to nee to It that the protection1 of hlsown Interests are against -the interests of the employe, or whether he seeks tocomblne employes and to set them against their employers, It matters not which. It Is wrong. "Eight years ago, In the election of 1892, I wish to recall some experiences which you remember. At that election an effort was made not to try to sot the West against the East,',or 'the North against the South;' an effort was made to set the workingman against the capi talist, the wageworker against the man who presented the wages. We were told that the capltlalst had grown rich, that tjie capitalist had prospered, and that we should down him We got 'hlra down. The country voted that way, We got tho capitalist down Therev Is no quesetlon about that. He was down all right, but the trouble after that was that the rest of us were down underneath him, too. "There did not anybody enjoy the next three years. The capitalists were ruined and the wagework'er came to the verge of starvation. It was' hard upon the men, but It was a thousand fold harder upon the women and children Fundamentally, the doctrine , that we need here In this land is that' while prosperity comes to us unequally and adversity comes to us un equally, yet when good times come, all share somewhat In them, but when bad times come, some suffer more than others, but all suffer somewhat, all suffer. to sopie extent. Our' Interests are bound "up -with one another. In 1592 they voted down the, capitalists and when they downed him they found that they were worse off than before. r That was the effect of tbe-actlon of misguided men. v"Now, gentlemen; the only way perira nenily to secure well being in this coun try' Is to secure conditions that will se cure the well being of all Something canbe done by legislation; much can be done by associations of Individuals. But In. the last resort, nothing-can take the place of the man's natural and Individual qualities. Every man of "us and every man here will slip at times; will stumble now and then. There Is not one of us that does not at times need to have a helping hand strecthed out to him, and woe, to the man who does not reach out his hand, to help the man who is -unfortunate." But If he lies down, you may make up ' your mind that you cannot carry him. 'I would like to go on, and I appeal" to you, for the sake of our Internal welfare, for the sake of the position of this Nation In the face of the nations of the world, that you stand by us in this contest. "We stand at the threshold of a new century. The generatlqn in the century just closed has done a great work and has laid the foundation of our Govern ment upon a strong footing by the suc pess of the Civil War. We have ..con quered this Continent; we have estab lished, a Government under which there has been such prosperity, liberty and power as thew"world has never before seen. Now I appeal to you, the men who made the West, and to you who glory In your strength.

PENDLETON'S FAIR Its Carnival Inaugurated Yes-- terday With Much Eclat PARADE WAS GREAT REVELATION Showing: One That Portland ailsat Bo Prond Of Reviow ot ' Principal Attractions. PENDLETON. Or , Sept. IS. Staff cor respondence ) Perfect weather marked the formal opening of Pendleton's Street Fair and Harvest Carnival today. Queen Bertha I (Miss Bertha Wells) was crowned at the opera-house last night, and short ly before noon today Mayor Vincent pre sented her a huge key. and gave her the freedom of the city. A parade that un doubtedly excelled in conception and quality the parade of the opening day of the Portland Carnival was 'the event of the morning. In the afternoon the gates of the fair were thrown open, and between 2000 and 2500 people passed through them to view the wondrous array of products which Umatilla County and Pendleton manufacture, growr buy and Bell. Pendleton, with a population of be tween BO00 and 6000, has made a showing of which the metropolis, with its 90,000 people and over, might well be proud. The carnival represents an outlay,, 'n cludlng the association's expenditures and the cost of fitting up booths and Install ing exhibits, of nearly $12,500. Past and present were Intimately linked In this carnival of prosperity In a county where no man need be idle if he bo will ing to work. Twenty-two years ago, almost to a day the paramountcy of the white race was settled forever In Umatilla County. On July 7,-1878, a handful of white settlers fought with hostile Plutes and Ban nocks at Willow Springs, 28 miles south of Pendleton, the last battle In which they were called upon, as civilians, to defend their homes Set upon ere their dinners had been finished, and so sudden ly that many had to run long distances to get their guns, so completely sur rounded by hostiles that defeat was cer tain If they remained, and ambushed while In retreat, this little band of home builders and home-defenders was hard pressed when a relief force of United States regulars under Major Throckmor ton came up. Shortly after, the hostiles were decisively defeated near Pendle ton by the allied regulars and volunteers, and the peace was concluded that has endured to this day. The Fall of 1878 saw the ascendency of the white man se cured In this vast region, and the ab original inhabitants began- that decline which, is the fate of aU Inferior races when placed side by side In the race of life with a superior force. The Umatilla County of 22 years ago was a county of sparse population, scant production, isolation and of but recent peace with the original occupants ot the land. Today it Is the county of constantly Increasing population, large agricultural development, railroad connection with the world and expansion In manufactur ing Industry. The progress of the 23 years was best Illustrated by the con trast of races afforded by today's gather ing. Umatilla bucks and squaws, of all ages, and In all manners, of dress from lopsely. flowing blankets,, sombreros and moccasins to modern American dress, Jos tled each other to see and comment upon the . handiwork of the conquering race, and gaze with goggle eyes on a white Queen riding In a horseless carriage. Among the red-skinned spectators were not a few bucks who. If not friendly to the Bannocks and Plutes In 1878, secretly desired to see them succeed. A conspic uous figure In the procession that moved 'up and down the street past kiosks and booths and Into the midway entertain ment, was old Indian Charley, tever tho friend of the whites, and on his breast was pinned a McKlnley and Roosevelt button. All Pendleton was astir at daybreak for the greatest event in the city's- history. Trains arriving as. early as 6 A. M. brought crowds, and long before the sun rose exhibitors were giving the final touches to their booths. The parade made a late start at 11.15. Headed by Grand Marshal John Halley, Jr. It marched through a few of the principal streets, and then through the street occupied by the fair, countermarching for review by Queen Bertha. Behind the grand mar shal marched the Seventh United States Regiment Band of 23 pieces, headed by its bandmaster, J. N. Home. Next followed a carriage containing Mayor F. W. Vin cent and Prime Minister C. J. Ferguson, with W. P. Sturgis,. the court Jester, gor geously bedecked, trotting beside on footj Queen Bertha rode In an automobile, pro peljed by J. L. Elam, behind which marched many girls, dressed In bright red, yellow and blue, and waving Ameri can flags or carrying spears. Next camp a float carrying" a girl dressed In repre sentative National costume, followed by the - exhibit of Daphne Circle, No. z. Women of Woodcraft. Four members of the order, dressed In blue waists, red skirts, and white caps, with green bor ders, rode bicycles beside a pretty floral creation of circular form. Following this was the exhibit of the Ladies Club, of Pendleton, a child seated in a purple decorated phaeton, and driving two gray ponies. The Chinese division came next. A Chinese carrying a. large American flag headed about ICO of his countrymen, who wore all manner of dress, from laundry attire, to the uniform of Chinese regular soldiers, and the rich garb of priests and Chinese Masons. The ale was full of the music of hautboys, tomtoms, tin. pans and drums. Some of the Chinese, armed with muskets or spears, looked all the world like the pictures of the hideous Boxer who besieged the Legatloners at Pekln. It was beyond question the best Chinese exhibit ever seen on the Pacific Coast. The Pendleton Fire Department made an especially good display. MascoU Hose Company had a float bearing a house, out of which real smoke Issued, and out of the windows of which brownies reached for ladders and looked longingly to the ground for help. The Pendleton Band headed the second division, the principal feature of which wa3 a wagon-load ot Pendleton juveniles, humorously labeled "Pendletoa Products." District Attor ney T. G.
