Onoe to every man anil nation
comes the moment to

Creamery hotter Is selling for -10
cents per pound in I'endleton at pres
ent. This would mean 38 cents per
pound paid to the farmer for liutter
fai. Al this price an ordinary cow
would yield an Income of ?9.50 per
month. If there Is any other small
Investment that will yield this return
It has not yet been found In Umatilla
county.
The new city council must feel
highly complimented hy the political
writer on the morning paper. If all
the wire pulling and cheap factional
peevishness attributed to the mem
bers hy the Trlhuue. was Indulged In,
the council Is starting off "auspic
iously." The East Oregonlan does
not believe such to be the case.
Dispatches from I'anama say the
elections In tho now government on
.Monday passed off without a single
attempt at bribery or corruption, tho
liberals being elected. It must bo
discouraging to American officials
who are watching over the now re
public, to note this marked absence
of American Influence and methods
on the very first public electlou. A
few wards should have been bought
up, Just out of respect for Panama's
best friend, the American.
The Cudahy Packing Company re
joices in the prospect of war between
Japan and Russia. The Russian gov
t'Crnmcnt has Just ordered 1,500,000
pounds of mess meat for the army,
from this American trust. Russia
tlon't fear tho American navy, but
she trembles before the American
meat trust. It Is hotter to bo mas
ter of the rood supply of the world
than to hold all the forts, harbors,
strategical points and mountain
passes on earth',
The new city marshal ol Pendleton
Is not yet selected. Judging from
the activity of tho peoplo on election
day, they care but llttlo who serves.
Out or 1.200 voters, about 315 cast
their ballots fn the city election. If
tho people had any particular Inter
est fn such matters, It seems that
they would not stay at home, when
the doy camo to determine tho policy
of the city for the next two years.

OwIur to the rnct that no emerg
ency clause was attached to tho re
onactinont of tho exemption clause
ot the assessment low. Mxpnyor
will not get the henolll of tho oxomp
Hon on the 11)04 assessment. Tho
hill tloes not go Into effect until
March 23, 1001, and the law cannot
he made to cover an assessment
which heglns on Mnrch 1. However,
Oregon will nppreciato the exemption
moro when It does take effect, and Is
glad to got off without tho necessity
of another special' session to remedy
this matter.
A "prominent" lumber man from
Portland has been giving tho Baiter
City Democrat n specimen ' of the
heavy argument of capital against
the forest reserves. Tho gentleman
says If the present destructive policy
of barring the lumber companies
from the public domain continues,
one of the loading Industries of Ore-J
gon will suffer greatly. Tho gentle-1
man forgets to mention that If tho
government does not continue to bar j
the lumber anil land syndicates from l
securing the forest lands of the West
In enormous tracts, to the exclusion
of actual settlers, that not only one
Industry, hut 10 or more vital Indus
tries on the Pacific Coast will ho de
moralized within n few years by tho
process of denuding the mountains
of their forests. Destroy the forests
and you prevent settlement, Irriga
tion, stock raising, reclamation and
all other of tho great systems that
are to he utilized in civilizing and
developing the unsettled districts of
the West.
IK re Is rather a bitter reward for
Senator Hoar's sixty years of unde
vlatlng party fealty, from tho .Milton
Eagle: "Although Senator Hoar
votcs with the Republicans all right,
he is novertneless n pretty good
Democrat when It comes to opposing
everything offered by his party, and
incessantly picking Haws with tho ad
ministration. .Massachusetts should
retire the old gentleman and send n
guod Republican to the senate. Hoar
has long since outlived his day of
usefulness as an iionest representa
tive of his constituency, and should
now quietly step aside lest doty old
age inadvertently blocks the wheels
ot piogress."
Tho report of the secretary of the .
interior In addition to showing a con
dition of unparalleled fraud and per
jury In public land and timber en
tries, is a strong denunciation of tho
Timber and Stone Act, tho commu
tation clause of the Homestead Act
and the Desert Land Act themselves.
Theso laws he describes as structur
ally wrong and fraudulent in intent.
Before Secretary Hitchcock, secretar
ies of tho Interior nnd commission
ers of tho general land office without
number have recommended tho re
peal by congress of theso three land
stealing laws. Public sentiment,
however. Is now becoming awakened
to tho vast steals perpetrated undoi
these laws and to the fnct that tho
government has been defrauded of
tens of millions of dollars of proper
ty and what Is worse, that the land
absorption Is continuing at a con
stantly Increasing rate. It Is not a
question of enforcement of tho laws,
though a rigid administration would,
of course, help matters some; file
laws were themselves born In Ini
quity to enable laud grabbing,
Domestic Infelicity, divorce, faith
lessnoss, Infidelity, lovo of money and

evils, are tilling the columns of tho
papers with sickening details of tho
Increasing horror of civilization.

MR. CARNEGIE'S PITY.
"Oh, how 1 pity the boy who Is
born toe son of a millionaire!" cried
.Mr. Carnegie nt a recent dinner. And
the exclamation has started an Inter
esting debate on the relative advan
tages uf wealth and poverty In youth
It depends largely upon tho boy. of
course. Riches nro not good for the
lad who Is not endowed with energy
o chnracter. Such a ouo takes the
line of least resistance, lives In Idle
ness and will bo fortunate If he does
not go to the bad. Had he been born
poor the necessity of supporting him
self might have developed In hint in
dustry, self-reliance nnd a desire In
umotint to something.
On the other hand, a "boy of tin
usual ability Is Jiot to lie pitied by
.Mr. Carnegie or anybody else because
he has parents who can give Tilm eil
ucatlon, remove obstacles from ins
path and let him have nil his time
lor the cultivation of his powers and
the pursuit of his career.
No doubt many men who havo won
sttceess owe It to tho gonrd of early
poverty, tt tho struggles which
sharpened their wits, strengthened
their wills and enabled them to meas
ure themselves accurately through
competition with rivals.
lift ween .Mr. Carnegie's comm'ne--atec
"son of a millionaire" and the
son of bitter poverty, however, there
nro n good many degrees. A home
of want may bo a very good schoo'
for genius or very great talent, but
tho world is full of men who ivju'iI
have I cached n much more comfort
nblo placo had thoy had hotter op
portunities In boyhood. Tho excoi
tlonal lad whose parents are -ory
poor will find ways for mental Im
provement, but tho average hoy in
such circumstances, llko tho com
monplace son of tho millionaire, will
accept things as he fluds them. Ho
will do his dally drudgery for btead
and remain In the station wherein It
has pleased Providence to placo him.
That is, ho will "assimilate to his en
vironment." -
Each state has Its disadvantages,
ns well as its advantages, but the
judgment of most men of common
sense Is against poverty ns n desira
ble Inheritance.
Ilrlng tho question homo to your.
Kelt: Would you, If you nro rich,
Hke your boy to ho deprived of tho
chances your tnonoy Is nblo to offer
him? And If you nro poor, would
yon not llko to bo wcll-to-da to that
you might give your son n hotter
stnrt In life than, because of your
poverty, he can havo?
Hoys with the right kind or stuff in
them, whether rich or poor, will nnn'
