DIRECT FROM OLD ENGLAND
We have just received the first direct import order of
ever brought to Pendleton. They are made of the finest Eng
lish bristles, with wax back (a new idea) which makes it im
possible fot the bristles to come out, as is the case with most
brushes. Every brush has our name and guarantee stamped
plainly on it, and is not only backed up by ourselves, but the
manufacturers as well Should any brush prove unsatisfactory,
a new one will be given in its place or money refunded. f hey
come in hard, medium and soft bristles. Where can you buy a
brush like them for the money ? We are making a leader of
them at 35 CENTS,

COUNTY FINANCES.
A comprehensive, intelligent finan
cial statement of the county should
bo published every four or six
months. Does not the law require
this Is to be done? This statement
t'.:ould show the county's condition
financially, as clearly as a state
ment of a national bank shows that
Institution's condition. It should bo
published In detail and regularly, so
that the tax payer may bo able to
read for himself the true condition of
his county's financial affairs.
It would glvo him confidence In his
county or inform him as to the need
of going slowly. It would make
known to him where the money he
was (contributing was going, and for
what It was being spent. He would
not have to grope In the dark as to
county affairs, as ho has to do at
present.
Any good book keener at an ex
pense of ?50 to $75 could get up a
form of .statement that would cover
the needs and gi,vo an Intelligent,
clear Insight in the county's affairs.
Of course It would bo difficult and
tedious to reconcile the differences
at first and to secure a rollablo bal
ance, but It could bo done, and when
once accomplished it would be easy
to keep tho work going.
The county's books should show
every month, or oven every day, tho
true condition of tho county's finan
cial condition. The fact of tho mat
ter Is, this reform was promised tho
tax payers 'two year ago, but It ap
pears tho promise has been nearly
forgotten, and tho people are about
as much at sea regarding county af
fairs as before.
A business concorn, doing tho vol
ume of business this county Is, would
not bo without a good bookkeeper
and a complete set of books that
would afford tho desired Information
to whomevor It might concern. It
would bo worth what it Icost.
Where i'p tho candidate running for
ofllco at tho present time who is ca
pablo of rendering this service to tho
people of tho county, If ho is elected?
There is nono; not ono on either
ticket! But tho county court could
perform this work, seo that It was
properly done, and save money, over
and abovo tho expense of it.
If the county court was democratic
for two years and did not Inaugurate
this Impovomont, tho East Orego
nlan would ask tho peoplo to turn
thorn out of ofllco and roplco them
with those who would. This is one
of tho things necessary to be done
in the work of getting the county out
of debt and putting it on a cash ba
sis, as was done for he city of Pen
dleton with such good results.
Tho East Oregonlan believes In
those who occupy public trusts that
accomplish something, that simply by
systems, makes governmcut better
and more economical, and blessed
little In those who just warm the
seats of office, put their hands in
the public purse for their salaries
and consider their duties performed.
Let a man accomplish something in
office and the East Oregonlan will
make It known, It matters not
whether he ia a democrat or a repuh
lican. A man who considers a pub
lie office a public trust Is worth en-
couraging and supporting, but those
who accomplish everything else, but
fall in this are not worth the can
die 'that burns while one writes that
they have been tried and found
wanting.
JOHNSON'S TACTICS.
Tho Springfield (Mas?:) Republl
can is one of the staunchest and
ablest anti-ftnporlalist papers In tho
United States, but it has not come to
an understanding of tho strong
ground on the subject taken by Tom
L. Johnson. In a recent issue the
Republican made this plain, as fol
lows:
"Mayor Johnson of Cleveland, a
democratic presidential possibility
has been opposed to tho republican
imperialist policy and again an
nounces his opposition, but ho is
'not favorable to any plan to divert
the attention of citizens to outside
issues when the real Issues are to
be found right here at home.' IIlx
idea seems to bo that syndicate priv
ilege is primarily responsible for the
imperialistic plunge of the nation,
and that the way to strike at impe
rialism is to strike at monopoly.
This may be true, but the view that
the Philippine outrage Is not to be
considered immediately and apart
from its possible ultimate origin, will
not find nufch favor among voters op
posed to the course of the Washing
ton administration. A man who re
gards the Philippine business as an
outside issue' is decidedly too queer
in hfs mental processes to make
much headway toward tho democrat
ic presidential nomination two years'
from now."
This led the Johnstown (Pa.),
democrat which Is quite as staunch
and ablo lu the causa of liberty as
the Springfield republican, to say:
"His critics need not wasto time in
worrying over Tom Johnson's queer
meYital processes. Mr. Johnson's
queer mental processes have gener
ally brought him to tho sanest pos
sible conclusions; and wo suspect
they seem queer only to those who
aro not accustomed to logic that
doesn't limp and to reason that does
not fall into fits of tho blind stag
gers. Mr. Johnson knows whereof
he is speaking. Ho understands, as
qvery single taxor understands,
that imperialism has but ono spur
and that Is greed. Imperialism has
gono over seas on a piratical war
not for bcnevolont assimilation, and
not oven for glory. It has gono for
loot. It has gono to grab fran
chlses, to gobble up land, to appro
priate valuablo natural opportunl
ties, to grasp now privileges and
through theso to exploit labor. But
what would happon to adventurers
if hero at homo a rear flro should ho
poured In upon tho wholo fabric of
privilege upon franchises, upon pro
tective tnrlffs, upon government by
Injunction, upon tho hundred and
ono devices of greed for robbing la
bor and limiting Us opportunities?
Would they wasto tholr time In tho
Philippines If hero at homo their base
of supplies woro threatened? Would
thoy feol safo In centering tholr en
ergies on a forolgn conquest when
tho onomy was In tholr rear, cutting
them olt from their communications
and destroying tho very jcltadol of
tholr power? Johnson Is right. A
war on tho Imperialists horo at homo
would bo tho quickest possibly
means of stopping the Infamous at
tack on liberty In tho Philippines."
KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE.
Sept. 9, 1901. rColonel Gardener,
of Tabayas province, reported to
Governor Taft on effects of military
brutality.
Feb. 7. 1902. Governor Taft, after
holding Gardener report five months,
transmits It to Secretary of War
Root.
Feb. 17, 1902. General Miles
writes to Secretary of War Root and
says war In Philippines is being con
ducted with marlced severity.
March C, 1902. Secretary or War
Root, with the Gardener report In
his possession, replies to Generan
Miles, denying that the war Is being
conducted with marked severity and
asserting that on the contrary It Is
being conducted on humane lines.
March 25, 1902, Secretary Root ri
dicules General Miles' suggestitons,
disputes his asertlons, scolds him
for mentioning the Gardener report
and seeks to discredit that report in
advance of investigation
April 8, 1902, Major Waller, Cap
tain Porter and Lieutenant Halford
testify before court martial In Ma
nila that General Smith ordered
Waller to make Samar a howling
wilderness and kill all natives over
10 years old.
Manila, April 25, 1902. The trial
by court martial of General Jacob H.
Smith, on the charge of conduct pre
judicial to good order and discipline
began today. Colonel Charles A.
Woodruff, counsel for the defense,
said he desired to simplify the pro
ceedings. He was willing to admit
General Smijth gave instructions to
Major Waller to kill and burn and
make Samar a howling wilderness;
that he wanted everybody killed ca
pable of bearing arms and that he
did specify all over ten years of
age, as the Samar boys of that age
were equally as dangerous as their
elders.

MAN OF READY MADE OPINIONS.
Jacox Is known among his friends
as a fastidious man. His coats, his
shirts, his boots are specially con
structed for him after anxious delib
erations with his tailor, haberdasher,
and bootmaker concerning quality,
styles ip detail being too unimport.
ant before the final order. Yet Ja
cox, who could not conceive of him
self wearing ready-made clothes, is
wholly content with ready-made
opinions and slop-shop views. Theso
he buys for two or three cents on
the street and wears them unblush
lngly. In matters engaging public
nttentlon there is no man with
stronger convictions, or more prompt
to assert them. While tho nowspa'
per is still damp, he has run down
tho editorials, had a shy at the head
lines, and is stocked up for the day.
To people who regard with some
anxiety the apparel of their minds It
Is discouraging to find Jacox thus
early and easily equipped. That he
is Ignorant of everything that goes to
the support of his opinions is of no
moro consequence to him than to
know where the wool was grown foi
his trousers. The Intimation that
he is palming off tho opinions of an
other, would convoy no reproach to
a mind steeped In sloth, ungroomed
at loose ends, though his speech may
bo fairly rampant In Its vigor.
