Few 8(icinl questions are asked
more frequently than. "What Is the
increase of crime?" The national
census bureau is necking an answer
to this inquiry. It is undertaking to
secure a record of nil the persons
who are sentenced to the various
jails, penitentiaries, and other pris
ons in the United Stntes during the
year 1904.

The Koreans dress continually

men who remain out will soon be out
of touch with the live business in
terests of the city. The Commercial
Association and Its individual mem

associations formed by newcomers
are among the active members of
this association. To be outside is
to be at a disadvantage.
The Harrimau system could do
nothing to bring Its tributary coun
try Into wide notice in the East, so
well as through the publication of
a monthly magazine of true Western
spirit, at Portland. The Sunset .Mag
azlne. the Four Track News, the
Blue Book and other high class lit
erary publications issued by the pas
songer departments of great railway
systems, have grown to be standards
of Information for millions of read
ers. Portland is the true gateway
to the Orient. She Is the Mecca
and chief end of tourist travel to the
West. Oregon is rich in scenic
beauty, inspiring history and dor
mant resources, smoking now
through the thousand craters of en
terprlse. Such a magazine publish

tentlon to the O. II. & N- Bystem, and
its wonderful tributary empires and
would soon be a paying investment,
under careful management.
The O. It. & N. company is inter
ested in the growth and progress of
Pendleton, She has never failed to
respond to the reasonable requests
of Pendleton's citizens. It Is hoped
that the company sees fit to deny
the privileges of decorating the fence
around the property on Main street
with the flaring showbills that
should be consigned to the side
streets. A first-class hotel Is now
nearly completed opposite the com
pany's property and another elegant
building 1s to he erected by Muyor
W. F. Matlock beside this hotel. It
will be unjust to the renters of those
buildings to place a public billboard
In front of the places of business. If
the company desires to fence its
property, that Is its business. But
the public certainly has a right to
ask the company to refuse a place
to such unsightly and disgusting ad
vertising as appears on the bill
boards, especially so on the
business streets.
and electric lighting currents which
the Creator of the world placed at
man's disposal. Think of the homes
now without the conveniences and
luxuries of the age because a grasp
ing corporation has secured a per
petual franchise and raised the price
beyond the reach of the poor! Think
of the burdensome taxes being paid
year In, year out. by homeowners to
bear the expenses of city govern
meut, while shrewd, scheming capl
talists reap priceless harvests from
franchises that belong to the people.
Let the snorting monopolists snort
at the idea of the people the ig
norant masses, as they term them
operating a public utility for public
use. When such enterprising cities
as Eugene vote to own public utili
ties, there is some solid reason for
that sentiment.
Over a quarter of a million do!
lars worth of brick buildings are In
course of erection and in contem
platlon this spring in Pendleton. An
lS-foot front on Main street has just
rented for five years at $100 per
month. Business men have confl
dence in the city which produces
such evidences of prosperity as
these. With Umatilla county back

School teachers In several states
are agitating laws to pension old
teachers, after a certain number of
years service. Teachers follow this
calling voluntarily, they work short
days, reeoive good pay and Cad' Mtfo
as cheaply as any other professional
people. Why should the state worry
over their individual affairs, more
than over the minister's, the carpon
ter's or tho lightning rod peddler's?
It Is not compulsory service. The
pension craze Is the curse of the
age. It overyuouy is jiensioueu, who
will work to pay the pensions?
It Is really refreshing to think of
an unprincipled Kansas senator serv
ing a term for corruption in office in
common, stluklug, filthy county
jail. Of all the hot beds of political
foulness that ever sent a stench to
maln heaven, Kansas has been the worst.
