dltlons, or shall they live to regret
their coming here? It remains for
Pendleton to say.
Marshal Carney and his force, are
to be congratulated In their efforts
to prevent petty crime, by causing
the congregating hoboes to move on.
These hoboes, some of them princes
at heart and gentlemen In disguise,
are always a menace to woodpiles
and coal bins, especially where they
are allowed to colonize in a city. Rut
there is a vastly more numerous ami
dangerous class of hoboes in Pendle
ton, that Is a more perilous menace
to the city, than any ragged beggar
that squats ubout a dim caropflre on
the creek bottom. This other class Is
arrayed in u white shirt, stands on
the street corner and lies In wait for
farmer boys and worklngmen, to rob
them of their wages In a poker game
or by some other equally dishonest
means. This class is a thousand fold
more perilous to the community than
the shivering trump, looking for u
crust, with perhaps a suffering fam
ily awaiting tidings from him, in u
distant home. There wus never a
more dangerous aggregation of tin
horns and men without occupation.
In the city .than now. Keep all the
hoboes moving. Don't discriminate
between the white shirt class and the
other class.

ADVANCE OF THE CHIHC1I.
It can no longer be charged that
the present church, all denominations
included, is made up of women ami
children.
No other institution on earth con
tains tuday, so many hard-handed,
hard-headed, practical, driving, busi
ness men as the church. This class
of membership is constantly Increas
ing, even In a greater ratio than that
of the women and children.
Not alone In Pendleton Is this the
absolute fact, but all over the world.
In Wales .within the past two weeks,
over 20.000 confessions have been
made, most of these being miners to
whom religion has never appealed be
fore. In Denver, during the present
winter, over 60')0 additions have been
made to the various Protestant de
nominations. In Chicago a proportion
ate number has been udded to the
rolls and In ninumerable smaller
cities, revivals of especially vital In
terest have been conducted with as
tounding results.
It is folly to deny the Inevitable
triumph of the church on earth. It
may be ages before it Is accomplish
ed. It may be centuries before the
last lingering, defiant force of evil
and wrong will yield, but It will yield,
Jun as certainly as the sun will warm
the burled seed into life and fruition.
. Every year marks a forward move
ment. In local circles this advance
Is especially marked. In Pendleton, j
during the present winter every Pro
testant denomination has either con
ducted a revival, or will conduct
such a meeting this year. The meet-!
Ings now in progress are being at
tended by Just as large and interest
ed crowds, as when they begun, six
weeks ago. The Interest has not lag
ged and every night additions are
being made to the already large
memberships.
Men of the highest national repu
tations have been hrnurht here by
the different denominations, at great
cost and with equally great results.
Home of the best addresses and dis
courses ever heard In this city hnve
been delivered from Pendleton pul
pits this winter, and It Is encouraging
to the Christian people to see the
gradually yielding evils melt before
the Influence and sunshine of the
truth and the right.
With no Untied States senator to
elect, the general Interest In the leg
islative session lugs. The people are
Interested In local measures, but II is
one of the most uneventful sessions
ever assembled. And yet. Us rudi- j
cal reform features should not be
overlooked. Speaker Mills has prov
ed to be one of the most practical
of presiding officers, and there have
been more safeguards erected around
the business features of the legisla
tive session than ever before. On the
suggestion of Speaker Mills, no bills
are to be Introduced in the legisla
ture, during the last five days of the
session. This measure of safety has
been adopted to prevent the "rail
roading" of objectionable legislation
at the last hour. Half the legislative
wrongs of which the state has suf
fered in the past have been enacted
In the rush of the last day, when the I
friends of the state were off their
guard and too busy to closelv scru
tinize every bill rushed through.
This one radical measure of protec
tion is the greatest advance ever
made hy one session of the legislature.
The singers of Pendleton should
co-operate with Prof. McMiun, in his
laudable undertaking to organize a
chorus of voices. Pendleton needs
more home talent productions. The
genius and ability are here, and only
lack organization. Puch a chorus
would be a source of exquisite pleas
ure lo the people of this city. There
are not enough elevating and Inspir
ing public amusements here for a
city of this size and tastes. In the
absence of such things, the people
cultivate a taste for the trashy and
cheaper amusements. There are an
uble singers here as in any city on
the coast, and there is no reason why
there should not be a cordial cn-oper-atlou
in bringing together a first
class chorus.
A bill has been Introduced in the
Oregon legislature by Senator Wright
prohibiting dentists from advertising
in newspapers, or attaching the pro
fessional degree to tbelr names. If
dentistry is not one of the great
modern professions, and one of the
most useful and widely needed, then
tlie common belief and experience of
mankind is at fault. Why should
not a dentist advertise as well as a
lawyer, a surgeon or a veterinarian?
Such bills as this would seem to be
useless and groundless waste of the
time of the legislature.
The last recalcitrant gambler has
come nut of the wet and signed the
pledge to be good. This marks the
finality of the shortest, sharpest and
most decisive campaign In our munic
ipal history. Eight months ago pub
lic gambling was the most powerful
and overshadowing influence in Port
land. The combinations and alliances
went Into all quarters of the city,
they dictated to political machines,
pulled down or raised up politicians,
instructed them in their duties, made
a farce of law. a creature of the mu
nicipal authorities and an Instrument
of coercion of the police force. Their
influence was sought and feared in
the politics of the city and state. No
man dared fly In the face of the sys
tem. It made terms and It held to
rigid accountability those whom It
had elected. It terrorized public of
ficials. Its dirty money penetrated Into
eminently respectable and unsuspect
ed quarters and It brought the moral
tone of the community so low Hint
the raw mining camps of the middle
west had much left to learn from us.
Can the good citizen realize that
all this was true of Portland eight
short mouths ago and that It is no
longer true that the last gambleY
has come forward with his pledge to
hereafter observe the law? When
one thinks of what wus it Is impossi
ble lo realize that what is was brought
about In such short order. Hut It
has been done us everyone can see
and ft would hnve been Impossible,
however the public demand, but for
the determination of one public of
ficial to uphold the luw at all haz
ards. That one man is Sheriff Tom
Word.
A good start has been made, but
there Is very much more yet to do.
In the first place we must keep the'
ground we have 'won. If so much
good can be done through the help of
one courageous, honest and deter
mined publip official more can be
dune In ways outside the path of his
duty through more officials of the
same stamp. Hence the neeil of care
ful work at the coming June election.
Let us not waste time and effort
In trying to achieve impractical und
Impossible things; we cannot reform
human nature all at once, or even
very much of It at a time, but we
can prevent public gambling, the
dance hull iniquities, some of the
grosser forms and phases of evil and
above all we can for all time set the
seal of condemnation upon the open:
ulllunce of the public's administra
tion with all such forms of vice and'
criminality. Oregon Dally Journal.

Today the East Oregonlan presents
Its readers with an array of facts,
proving that Pendleton Is destined to
be the leading school and home town
In the Inland Empire. At this time,
In the middle off the winter, when
building operations are at a stand
still, In every other city in Eastern
Oregon, there are about 20 elegant
residences either contracted or In
course of construction, most of these
averaging over $3000 In cost. No
other city in the state can present
such a showing aa that No other
city in the Northwest can produce
such a certain evidence of future
growth and prosperity, and perma
nent stability. These residences are
being built largely by farmers who
are coming to this city for school
purposes. Invited by the excellent
school facilities promised here when
the new buildings are completed,
these farmers are bringing their
families here to grow up In Pendle
ton. Does not the city of Pendleton
owe these people the best possible
moral surroundings for their fami
ne Shall they find congenial con-
ROY WEATHER.
It's boytlme when It freezes,
It's boytlme when it snows;
The youngster Is the one whose lot
Is happiest whe nit "snows.
It's rough on rheumatism,
And it seriously annoys
The dignity of grown folks,
But it's pretty good for boys.
It's Just another Instance
When nature makes It plain
That In the mighty scheme of things
There's nothing made In vain.
So let's forget our sorrows
In a fellow being's Joys;
The weather's hard on grown folks,
Rut It's pretty good for boys.
