The hand of irrigation will be laid
upon the dead wilderness and it will

WELCOME.
An exchange contains the following
wholesale arraignment of public i
tastes In Journalism: i
1 "The average man Is an idiot
' therefore the newspaper must he j
' idiotic. The people would '
rather read evil than virtue. They !
prefer sensation nnd depravity. They
I prefer unclean to the clean. They
j would resent serious discussion."
If this is the standard of the masses
' If this Is the mission of the news-
paper, the quicker press censorship
j comes, the better.
But do the people accept this as
the true portrayal of their moral
tastes. Do they wish to let this Idea
of depraved Journalism gain credence
among the children of the Innd.
If so, give vicious principles the
rein. If not, bar them from the light
of publicity. The slow poison will
taint the blood of soclnl nnd moral
health, If It Is allowed to spread.

A LOCAL EPOCH.
Today another tnlle-stone Is plant
ed in Umatilla county. Since the
borders of the county were surveyed
and hor rugged lineaments traced up-
on on the map, no greater movement
than the reclamation of the waste
lands has occupied her citizens. And
in thp history of this movement, there
lias bpen no greater occasion than
this day's work.
Wo gather as neighbors, to bring
the arid desert to lire. We stand at
the open gateway of a radiant dream,
so beautiful, so full of possibilities,
that its splendor Is dazzling. Around
the altar of this industrial fraternity
of reclamation are gathered the
choice spirits of the age. This hand

MARSHAL AND RECORDER
Do the voters of Pendleton want
the chaarter changed to make the
omces of city marshal and recorder
elective instead of appointive? Is the
present situation satisfactory to the
city?
You vote for councilmen. why
should you not be allowed to vote
for the marshal, who preserves order
and the recorder who Is custodian of
your rights?
Why should It be said by inference
that the legal voters of Pendle
ton are not capable of choosing all
their officials, If they choose one?
These suggestions are before the
people. They are thinking deeply
upon them.
The basis of city government, as
of all other government, Is tho rights
of the people. It stands to reason
that the people would be satisfied
with the officials elected by them. If
they made a mistake In tho selection
they could r.nt shift the burden to the

have her face disfigured by pimples or
any form of eruptive disease. It makes
her morbid and sensitive, nnd robs her
of social enjoyment. Disfiguring erup
tions are caused by impure blood, and
are entirely cured "by the great blood
purifying medicine Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. It removes from the
blood the poisonous impurities which
cause disease. It perfectly mid perman
ently cures scrofulous sores, eczema,
tetter, boils, pimples and other eruptive
diseases which are caused by the blood's
impurity, it increases tlie action of
the blood-making glands and thus in
creases the supply of pure rich blood.
