full returns from the office. This Is
tho basis ot nil the frauds perpetrat
ed In public office. Oregon Is now
tnatlng this partisan luxury.
The enemies of William R. Hearst
mny ridicule tho Idea of his cnndl
dacy for the office of prcsldont. They
may point the finger of censure at his
alleged yellow Journalism. They mny
sarcastically allude to ills wealth as
his principal point of prominence.
They may weakly attack Ills attitude
toward the trusts and his efforts to
throttle them In the Interest of tho
people. Yet the fact remains that It
Is caster for the enemies of Hearst
to ridicule his labor, than to duplicate
his achievements. He has wealth, It
Is true. Hut why don't other men of
greater wealth than Hearst accom
plish soniothmg as worthy of public
commendation ns he? Why don't other
newspapers, bitterly opposed to his
niothods, make the same advances In
Journalism, In another direction, if nis
methods nre not right, and his Inten
tions not good? The fact of the mat
tor Is that there is a little more jrains
back of the Hearst papers than his en
emies are able to duplicate, and there
fore ridicule is the only opposition to
his methods left them.
"The last royal betrothal in Great
Urltaln," which has been given a col
umn of space In the Associated Press
dispatches, nmounts to nbout as much
to the public as a betrothal on the
Umatilla reservation, between Lizzie !
No Shirt and Charlie Knife Handle,
son of One-Eyed Oont. for instance.

devoted to "Ken Hur" notices, going
and coming, for the next week. Any

please call up the office.

exposition? The exhibit closes on
February 1, and U will be Impossible
to enter any pronucts after that date.
Will she appear as one of the leading
counties of Oregon, In that event', or
will she be overshadowed by some
smaller county, with less area and re
sources, but an evidence of more en
terprise? It pays to nilvertlRe.
There Is short weight butter being
brought to Pendleton from some couti
try district, and the merchants are
endeavoring to locate the maker.
There Is a law against short weight
butter. Just as there Is against adul
terated food and (he makers of this
butter should be made to pay the pen
alty, Just as other people violating tho
laws of the state. It is unjust to the
merchant to impoHt upon him, and It
is more unjust yet, to Impose upon the
purchaser, who must pay the price of
a full roll for a roll two, three or four
ounces short. Th crenmorles are
complying with tho laws and It Is but
Justice that the farmers do the same
thing The East Oregonlan knows
whereof It speaks, and while It de
fends the farmer on every occasion,
against the impositions of the fakir,
it Just as unhesitatingly cciiRiires the
farmer, who wilfully imposes upon
the public. There Is a profit In but
ter making and honesty In this busi
ness is Just as necessary and Just as
commendable as in any other pursuit.
Short weight butter and adulterated
milk are two commodities which must
bo eliminated from the markets.
Every irrigator In Oregon should
tend to the secretary of agriculture
for a copy of his report for 190::.
"Farmer" Wilson, as the secretnry Is
called, has made a specialty of study
ing irrigation, from, different stand
points, and In different parts of the
country, and his report on that phase
or agriculture, aside from being a lit
erary gem. Is filled with vital facts
that should be part of every farnior's
library.
The collection of Pendleton celeb
rities attending the Thompson trial,
sketched by Lute Pease for the Ore-
.mnl.-in nf Wednesday. Is worthy of
n place on the poatnfllco bulletin
boards, or Mime other conspicuous
place, where the Pendleton public may
admire these favorltea dally, Thi
only mistake nbout the collection Is
that Charlie Cunningham appears
twice in It, while .Mayor Hailey and
Colonel J. H. Raley appear but once,
There should have been no partiality
Mhown by the cartoonist.
In Oregon arc S.COO.OOO ueres of
land that can he made tillable through
irrigation. This land Is bordered on
-vory side with' Improvun farms, worth
from $20 to $100 per acre. The Htrcams
of Oregon carry enough wnste water
to the sea each year, to reclaim the
arid area, so thuro only stands be
tween tho Idle water and tho Idle hind

ment storage reservoir. Is It any
wonder tho homeseekors are coming
to Oregon? Tho wonder Is, that they
do not come in greater numlHirs,

The utter fallacy of tho blasphem

RUSSIA'S POWER.
The Loudon Westminster Gazette
gives the following startling figures
concerning 'the armament or Russia:
"Since 1874 military service In Rus
sia has beon obligatory for all men
from their twenty-first year. Out of
about 870,000 young men reaching ev
ery yenr tholr majority about 219,000
are taken Into the active army and
fleet, and the remainder are Inscribed
In tho reserve. The lowest estimate
of the peace strength of the Russinu
army puts the number of officers at
42.0U0 nnd of the rank and file nt
more than 1,000,000 men, tho total
number being about 1,100,000. In war
tho total strength Is approximately
7r,000 otllcers and 4,500,000 men.
"Ilussln, owing to Its geographical
situation, maintains four distinct
Hoots or flotillas, each with Its own
organization. There are 10 admirals,
2S vice admirals and 37 rear admirals,
102 captains, 252 commanders, 1,542
Junior officers, 503 engineers, 702 med
ical and civil officers and 1C2 naval
yard ofheors. There arc eighteen bat
tleships (with six building and six
projected), four armored cruisers
(sovernl projected), nineteen cruisers
(with eight building and twelve pro
jected), two submarines (fifty project
ed) and fifty-three torpedo boats
built or building. The total number of
officers and men in the Russian navy
Is about 110.000 "
