Today, whose hour Is ours!
Give sight, give strength
To make the present perfect,

The temple of a happy brother-

PENDLETON PROSPERING.
Is
To the astonishment of a lot of
pessimistic croakers, Pendleton Is still
on the map and prospering despite
the fact that not a fine for gambling
has passed Into the city's coffers for
several months.
When gambling was stopped it was
declared by a number of men whose
pocketbook is their only creed, that
the town would go to the bad, bnsi-
ness would suspend and the treasury
would have a hole In the bottom of it
through which Niagara Fall? could
pour with ease, if the blacklegs were
driven out of town and gambling stop
ped.
Why, It Is found that the city
moving along gracefully, the sum of
$10, lil la now in the general fund
and a total of $16,746 in the city treas
ury, and best of all, the city Is almost
entirely rid of a large class of objec
tionable characters which cannot find
a lodging place In any self-respecting
city In the entire country now.
The remark of one grocer yesterday
contains a key to the whole situation.
He said: "Business has actually been
better for the past three months than
ever before. People who have never
paid a grocery hill before without
trouble, now have money and pay
cash. The men who earn the money
now give it to their families and not
to the tinhorns."
WILL THEY BE GOOD?
governor of Oregon, or to name the
next United States senator? What is
the verdict of the voters who live In
Multnomah county?
If Portland dominates in the for
mation of the next republican ticket
the verdict will be the same all over
the state. Portland has had too much
political power, and has not used It
wisely.
Political power In Portland has but
one objective point graft. If a good
state law has originated there we
would like to have some one mention
the article in plain English.
What is the moral of the matter?
The next republican ticket must be
taken from the body of the country.
if It Is to be elected by the thinking
people of this state, who are republicans.
It was republicans who elected
Chamberlain governor, Word sheriff.
Manning district attorney, and Lane
mayor. It is republicans, not demo
crats that Oregon politicians must
reckon with.
A party movement might originate
In Portland that would reach out and
take In all the Interests and men of
brains, thought and ability In the
state, but that is hardly likely to occur.
Portland Is steeped in graft politics
to such an extent that Portland man
agers will not trust men outside the
city, and few In the city will trust one
another.
The people must make up their
minds to make up their own program,
to select their own ticket, to do their
own nominating, to follow no rotten
leadership, or pursue ancient and
time-worn methods.
With practically a whole delegation
in congress to select, with a whole
state ticket to nominate, with a legis
lature to choose, with a new constitu
tion that needs to be framed, Oregon
has a big job juBt ahead.
With leadership distrusted, with or
ganizations smashed, with an adminls-
tration In Washington determined to
Indict and convict every man of prom-
inence In the state, need anyone be
surprised if Oregon goes democratic?
choosing senators, but they must ask
the senate to protect Its members by
surrounding them with the highest
Ideals of the place. Senator Sorghum
must go. '
IN THE PRISON CELL.
I know not whether Laws be right.
Or whether Laws be wrong;
All that we know who lie In goal
Is that the wall is strong;
And that each day Is like a year,
A year whose days are long.
But this I know, that every Law
Than men have made for Man,
Sinse first Man took his brother's life,
And the sad world began.
But straws the wheat and saves the
chaff
With a most evil fan.
This too I know and wise It were
If each could know the same
That every prison that men build
Is built with bricks of shame.
And bound with bars lest Christ
should see
How men their brothers maim.
With bars they blur the gracious
moon.
And blind the goodly sun;
And they dd well to hide their Hell,
For in it things are done
That Son of God nor son of Man
Ever should look upon!
The vilest deeds like prison weeds.
Bloom well In prison air;
It Is only what is good In Man '
That wastes and withers there;
Pale Anguish keeps the heavy gate.
And the Warden is Despair.
For they starve the little frightened
child
Till It weeps both night and day;
And they scourge the weak, and flog
the fool,
And gibe the old and gray.
And some grow mad, and all grow bad
And none a word may say.
Oscar Wilde.
IS THE CANAL HOODOOED?
The Morning Oregonlan rejoices
that such a thrilling example has been
set before the United States senate,
as the conviction of one of Its venera-
ble members and says this example
will mean the beginning of a higher
standard, a new condition of honesty
and obedience to law in that body.
Will the example set before that
body mean the beginning of an era of
better public morals or will It only
serve to make the members more
skillful in hiding their jobs to prevent
detection? This Is a question.
Graft and dishonesty are so widely
prevalent in public office and sen
tences In the penitentiary and heavy
fines have so little terror for brazen
rascals, that It is very doubtful if one
small example of this sort will have
the result of removing graft from
public service.
Never before in the history of the
government was there such an epi
demic of grafting, public rottenness,
official thieving and other forms of
brazen public crimes as now, and
present laws are scarcely adequate to
a just punishment of this sort of rascality.
Is there a mysterious plot to pre
vent the construction of the Panama
canal? The country is periodically
treated to a sensational statement
that there is, and periodically lives It
down, only to find It bobbing up
again.
J. D. Yeomans, a former member
of the interstate commerce commls-
sion. well known in Walla Walla, is
the author of the latest scare.
In a highly sensational Interview,
he avers that there Is no Intention of
building a canal at Panama; that the
route Is not feasible, while the Nlca'
ragua route was, and that, therefore,
the Panama route was substituted by
the conspiracy against any canal.
Mr. Yeomans' ideas may be colored
by the fact that he was "moved from
the interstate commission" and that
he was one of a syndicate which made
a proposition to construct the Nicara
gua canal.
Nevertheless, Mr. Yeomans must be
looked upon as a responsible Individ
ual and it must be assumed that he
believes, to some extent at least, in
what he says.
The evidence of a conspiracy to put
the government in a hole, to make it
spend untold millions In an effort to
construct a canal where no canal can
ever be constructed, is not conclusive,
Eminent engineers have testified
that a canal can be made over either
route, it being only a question of time
and money. Unless we are to assume
that all engineers who have been over
the route are fools or attached to the
"onnnnlrncv." we must "believe that
the Panama route is practicable.
Certainly the French engineers
thought so and they also must, years
hnv hppn either mistaken or
corrupted by the alleged conspiracy.
T it nnsaible that an influence, inter
national in character, has laid a par
alyzlng hand upon this project and
held it there for years and never un
masked? '
It does not seqm probable. But it
is possible, and the very possibility
makes It worth while to have Mr.
Yeomans' warning. If it does nothing
else, it will add zest to the hunt for
the canal hoodoo.
OREGON'S POLITICAL NEED.
The Salem Journal, an Independent
republican paper. In speaking of the
political crisis now upon the state of
Oregon, pertinently says:
The republican leadership at Port'
land baa been so rotten that one after
another the highest officers have been
taken away from the gang that domi
nates tb party down there.

STRUCK- THE RIGHT SPOT.
The conviction of a senator upon
a fine Dolnt of official probity test!
fies to the conscientiousness of the
courts and the virility of the jury
vttm. savs the Minneapolis Journal.
If we need deterrent examples of the
disgrace of supine yielding to conven
ient sin, surely the United states sen
ate is a tempting place for the lightn
ing to strike. From no other source
could an Illustration be drawn more
Calculated to attract attention,
The senate is the highest legislative
hodv in the world today. It should
Illustrate in its membership the high
est Ideals of the people. When the
people find senators who are a failure
they are led to moralize on how far
they contribute to the result by se

This I beheld or dreamed It in a
dream,
There spread a cloud of dust along
a plain,
And underneath the cloud, or In It
raged
A furious battle, and men yelled, and
swords
Shocked upon swords and shields. A
prince's banner
Wavered, then staggered backward.
hemmed by foes.
A craven hung along the battle's edge
And thought: "Had I a sword of
keener steel
That blue blade that the king's son
bears but this
Blunt thing " he snapt and flung it
from his hand,
And, lowering, crept away and left the
field.
Then came the king's son, wounded,
sore bestead.
And weaponless, and saw the broken
sword.
Hilt burled in the dry and trodden
sand.
And ran and snatched it, and with
battle shout
Lifted afresh, he hewed his enemy
down
And saved a great cause that heroic
day,
