Every man locks his secrets from
the other. Every Industry secludes
Itself and treats every other industry
as If It were a thing to bo suspected.
The whole system Is rounded on
self. The wholo plan is narrow and
gloomy and degenerating. Mistrust,
suspicion, a feeling of repulsion'
against your fellows, underlies tho
business world.
Tho preachers nro the only men
who dare trust each other, and this
In raro Instances. The pulpits bravely
condescend to open tho arms of com
panionshlp and good fellowship to
each other,, but tho pows still hold
each others at arm's length.
.More rreedom and confidence and
plain, trusting, common sonso are
needed. It would mako men broader,

CONFIDENCE IS LACKING.
"Two preachers of Pendleton ex
changed pulpits last Sunday morning,
tor tho purpose of getting better ac
pualnted with the people and to make
each other's congregations know by
oxperlenco that the horns were not
sprouting on the Baptist nor tho
cloven hoof developing on the Presby
terian. In fact, they wanted to widen their
own vision and strengthen the attach
ments that bind them to humankind.
Ono of the best ways to do these
things Is to look into tho faces
of now people and view the problems
of the day from another man's placo
of vantage.
There are no guarded secrets in the
-preacher's business that prevent an
-exchange of pulpits for a Sunday
morning service. They can exchange
courtesies wllit perfect abandon, for
their work is all done for humanity
and not for self. There are no tricks
In that trade, no skeletons In'thoso
closets, so they can exchange places
and everybody concerned Is bettered
Ujy the change.
Dut imagine two merchants ox
-changing courtesies of this kind to get
better acaualnted. Think of two bar
bers saying to each other: "You hold
down my chair for an hour and I'll
hold down yours."
Imagine two loading butchers shak
ing off their selflshness for an hour
and suggesting that thoy count eacn
other's Income and take noto of each
other's customers for the busy period
some morning.
Picture to yourself that miracle
-which would bo wrought should two
of tho most pious grocers In town
daro to trust each other with the koy
to tho front door and tho combination
to tho safo with tho added privilege of
knowing -for a surety, who ore tho
star customers of each other and how
much cash each other banks for the
day.
Did you over think of this Ohlneso

Those who are Interested In econ

brief remarks of Judge Hartman and
Assessor C. P. Strain, nt tho Pilot

night, published In today's East Or

clear cut statement of fncts and fig
ures which It will pay any taxpayer

one that the people of this county
may well bo proud of. It will bo tho
best of economy to continue this samo
policy for four years more, in order
to get entirely out of debt. Judge
Hartman is now in touch with tho
situation, has studied and planned to
reduce the county indebtedness and

is a plain business question, and the
taxpayers must concede the practical
benefits to be derived from another
term of Hartman's policy. Where dol
lore and cents are being hewn off the
edges of the county debt as thoy aro

to change? Is it business to institute

enjoyable entertainment for a week,

other and with each other's products.
Owing to the lethargy of tho legfsla
ture, Umatilla does not enjoy nn as
rlcultural fair district and eonse
quently must be content wfth a street
carnival. Tho members of the legls
laturo from this county should not
stoo until another agricultural fair
district. Including Morrow and Uma
tllla counties, Is organized, on similar
lines to tho Eastern Oregon district,
Including, Baker, Union and Grant
counties, with an alternatfng county
fair each year, with stato aid, to start
It off. This section of tho state may
Justly claim a share of tho public ben
efits and amusements. Tho state fair
at Salem never falls to get Its supply
of stato patronage. Why not mako
Umatilla county a part of the stato
fair circuit, holding ono week at Pen
dleton and ono week nt Salem, or hold
ing tho stato fair at these cities al
ternating years? This county Is In
tho heart of Eastern Oregon, and Is
entitled to such recognition.
Although II. Melmann Is looked up
on as a speculator and an adventurer
by the people of Pendleton, yot If- ho
can furnish cheaper light and electric
power than Is now enjoyed ho should
bo welcomed, whatever his eccentric
characteristics may bo. Thero Is al
ways room for competition whoro
there Is monopoly.
Tho namo of P. B. Holbrook has
appeared as editor of tho Oregon Ir
rigator from the time It was establish
ed two months ago until nftor tho
campaign started. It Is a republican
Danor. supporting tho .Morrow county

Mr. Holbrook, although ho has a fore
man nnd business manager In charge.
Mr. Holbrook has no claim on dem
ocrats, whatovor, as Ills papor Is
flelitlng the democrats in Morrow
pnires, with which on occasion sho
aecorates her corsage, and she has
50 costly rings, of which she wears
a fow at a tlmo, In varying combina

travagance prompts tho reader to ox

nut does not such n manifestation
convict our social system of Inade
quacy? The first business of tho
stnte is to see that lustlcn Is done.
Its professed purpose is to nward fair
dealing between man and man; tho
strong and unscrupulous members can
take caro of themselves, therefore
protection Is needed for the weaker.
But the complaint wo hoar on nil
sides Is, that this Is not n poor man's
government. Mr. Dooloy expresses
tho defect in our social organization
very strikingly. "Congress," he says,
tninns it is sailing tho s i n n stnte:
but that ship In state carries no steer-
ago passengers. The real ship in stato

Social reformers do not place Im
plicit trust In law, or expect a fair
award to all from Its oxact enforce
ment. "The letter kllleth," says St.
Paul, "but tho spirit maketh alive."
And the most effective remedy from
the Inequality of condition and wide
spread suffering that results, would
bo found In tho monetary conscience
of each favored individual.
Can man or woman live in ono of
tho modern palaces, that aro now built
for private residences, at tho cost of
millions, and not feel that ho or sho
Is constructively responsible for tho
wretched, unsanitary tenements In
which thousands of our follow creat
ures are compelled to exist? Gibbon
tells us: "In the commonwealths of
Athens and Homo the modest sim
plicity or private houses announced
tho equal condition of freedom, whilst
tho sovereignty of the people was
represented In tho majestic edifices
designed for tho public use." What
lesson does this convoy?
In the descending ages has starry-
eyed Freedom changed her attributes?
If simplicity or living among those
pagan nations was an outward and
visible sign of correct public rulo, aro
wo to accept heaped-up wealth, lavish
display, and an equipoise of wretch
edness and Insufficiency as a modern
and improved "condition of freedom?"

SIBERIAN ROAD DISTANCES.
It appears from tho report of Unit
ed States Consul Warner of Lelpslc,
Germany, who has been making a
study of tho trans-Siberian railway.
that tho loop around the southern end
of Lake Baikal Is by no means as
nearly finished as was stated some
months ago.
Mr. Warner says that only 44 miles
of tho line have been completed,
leaving 11C miles yet to be construct
ed over a very difficult "section of
country.
Many months must elapse, accord
ing to tho best authorities, beforo the
present terminals or tno roau win oo
connected. In the meanwhile tho
slow ferries across tho lake will bo
used, thus making the transportation
of troops and pasengers moro ardu
ous and less swift than If tho route
were nn all-rail ono.
In his report Consul Warner also
gives some figures as to distances on
tho trans-Siberian ranroau. rneso
figures, ho says, are official, and as
thoy vary somewhat from previous
reports they may mako Interesting
rending.
The consul says that tno icngtn oi
tho road from tho uusso-Blberlan
frontier to Irkutsk Is 2078 miles. Jt
Is 974-34 mllos from MIssovak, on tho
west shoro of Lake uaucai, to mo
Manchurlan railway. By tho Ohl
neso Eastern railway from Manchuria
via Harbin to Vladivostok Is 1485-93
miles.
After tho loon around Lako Baikal
has boen finished travelers from tho
Siberian frontier to Vladivostok must
rover a distance of 4670 miles.
Through tkeso figures an Idea may bo
gained of Russia's troop transporta
tion problem.
And It must bo romombored tjiat
tho road over which tho troops travel
ta built of light rails and very poorly
equipped with rolling stock.
