UNIONljt.l.aBi: .-'' Then are Just two krnds of peo ple on earth today. Just two kinds of people, no more, I Bay. Not the sinner and saint, for 'tis well understood The good are half bad, and the bad are half good. Not the rich and the poor, for to count a man's wealth Tou must first know the state of his conscience and health. Not the humble and proud, for ' in life's little span Who puts on vain airs is not counted a man. Not the happy and sad, for the swift-flying years ' bring each man his laughter and each man his tears. No; the two kinds of people on earth I mean Are the people who lift, and the people who lean. Ella Wheeler Wilcox. and are nearly unanimous In favor of he stand taken by the Kant Oretronlun for saloon regulation and the suppres sion of gambling. There is no doubt about thin. The Kast Oregonlan re ceives assurances of It every day by an Increasing circulation from the people tvlyi have heretofore not been patrons of the paper If Pendleton does not regulate the matter by electing a practical, con scientious., moral set of men as coun cllmen. the county will pel Imps take a hand In the matter next spring and vote prohibition. This Is no Joke nor threat, but plain facts founded on ac tual conditions as found in the coun ty. If the actual business and profes sional men who have large Interests at stake do not take an active part In this coming city election and select u set of men who are known to be In favor of higher licenses and the sup pression of gambling, they will bring prohibition upon their heads, and nothing can stop It for the country people are determined. When men cast partisan politics aside and wade Into a moral question, side by side by former political ene mies, something is doing. Tills Is the situation in the county outside of Pen dleton. People are determined that the county scat of the greatest coun ty In the state shall not be the play thing of the saloons. AND YM'SIA HAS LOST 75.000 II V FAMINE. RAILROAD LITERATURE OCT. THE CALAMITY HOWL. Because the decent people of Pen dleton have asked for the regulation of saloons and the suppression of gambling, the Tribune tries Its hand at calamity howling this morning. It asks why the business of the city is going to pieces? Why are vacant houses found? Why Is business de creasing? Why Is confidence shaken? Why is the town on the downward road to ruin? AH because the people demand bet ter morals and better1 surroundings In which to rear families. -' The Tribune exaggerates every condition it men tions as to the business situation. The Tribune Is the mouthpiece of the saloons now, and haB been In the past, and will be In the future. This calamity howl Is a part of the saloon men's program. They hope to scare business men out of their boots by crying "moral wave," "reformers, "Sunday school town," and other catch phrases coined by gamblers and used to scare timid people. If the business men will get to gether and elect a set of business men to the council the agitation will stop. If they allow the saloons to dominate the election, the agitation will not stop. That Is all there Is to the situation. It Is easily settled. NO MEMORIAL II.VLL. When the Lewis and Clark corpora tion' asked the state of Oregon for an appropriation of 500,000 to assist In holding the fair, It promised Oregon that at the closevfif the fair It would contribute the sum of $50,000 toward the construction of a permanent me morial hall, as a memento of the fair, and as a permanent ornament and art treasure for the state. The state was ..niriiniie a like amount to the hall. Now that the fair is over and the ' money In the pockets of the corpora Oon, It says It cannot contribute. ays it Is "broke." W. D. Fenton, the well known railroad attorney, whose business is to fool the people by high sounding oratory, says the corporation Is unable to contribute to the me morial hall, because the Income has not been suffllcent to warrant any such an expenditure. 8o Oregon can hold the sack, as usual, when dealing with the Port land politicians and schemers. It Is only the old, old story repeated under a new form. If Oregon wants a memorial hall let ber build It All Portland wants la the state university, the state normal schools, the state capital, the state agricultural college, state blind. deaf and dumb school, the asylum and the penitentiary, the stove foundry and 'the reform school farm, even to the woodshed and poultry yard. The first installment of the railroad literature, opposed to regulation of the ronds by the government, is now ouL The bureau of railroad literature will be in charge of the brightest writ ers that money can hire. They will present the most absolute fallacies In such sugared terms that many people will accept them as truths. The ob ject of the bureau and the literature Is to lead the' people off on false concep tions of the riillrmid question as re lated to government. Only the railroad side of the ues tion will 'be presented. The govern ment reports showing enormous earn ings and enormous capitalization will be left out. Appeals will be made to political prejudice. Socialism and anarchy will be held up to scare- the people away from Intelligent regulation of railroads. One side only, of the true condition will be" presented. The first book sent out proves this. It quotes President Hoosevelt until he turned his attention to railroad reguiatWnv and then it stops. It seems a pity t have so- much In telligence and money used In estab lishing a false doctrine, a false Im pression, among the masses. The- bu reau Is Intended ti prejudice people against government regulation, al though without regulation the bUr corporations have shown that there Is no limit to the burdens and oppres sions which they impose upon- the public. Millions of mimes of private citizens will be secured. Voting precincts' will be.covered to a man. In the campaign started by the, big corporations who have Joined to defeat government reg ulation. For three months the district of An dalusia, In the south part of Spain, having an area about as large as Illi nois, has been In the grip of one of the worst famines the country has ever known. (Deaths are occurring ut the rate of more than 900 u day. Since the fa ni lite became Intense 10.000 people have died directly from starvation, and "6,000 huve sueumb ed to disease contracted or aggravated by lack of nourishment. The famine area has a population of 3.500.000, und of these 1.000,000 are poor peasants directly affected by the disaster. The prisons are overflowing with peasants who have committed petty crimes to compel the authorities to arrest them, and supply them with food In the Jails. Hundreds of bands of peasants roam about the country, pillaging farms and country homes to ohtaln food for themselves and their fami lies. Huteher shops, grocery stores und bukerles In the towns and cities have been repeatedly rifled by hunger-mud crowds, and herds In the fields decimated. The direct- cause of the famine Is a prolonged drouth, which has re sulted in the almost entire loss of the hnrvests of grains, olives and or anges, and 'In a lessening of quallt and quantity of the wines. Indirectly, the magnitude of the disaster that has overtaken Anda lusia is due to the medaevul agricul tural methods of thii peasants. The Anduluslans are thriftless and unen terprising, and they till their soli under hardly better conditions than when their country was under the dominion of The Moors. The land Is owned by wealthy Spaniards, who live either abroad or In Madrid, and who squeeze the peasants heartlessly, -e. The Madrid governnrenl Is at tempting to alleviate the distress caused by the famine, but without j striking success. Count Komanones. ; the minister of public works, has I made an extensive ' tour of the af- j fllcted itistrict, with a company of expert advisers, and under his dlrec- ; lion relief works have been more than It has undertaken, because of Ihe gen eral poverty of Spain, and It Is feared that the present famine will leave a permanent effect oil Andalusia. The only plnir that can be of permanent value to the district would be a vast undertaking by the government to revolutionize the existing system of agriculture, by the construction of reservoirs and canals and to develop the country by the building of rail ways unI ports to encourage the In vestment of capital' In Andalusia. ' This would require an initial expen diture by the government of $40,000,- 004-, to be followed by much more. and Spain cannot afford to spend such a. large amount. " - Enlightened Spaniards fear thnt Andalusia Is on- the way of becoming a second India, with famine a regular yearly occurrence- Bands of well armed rubbers huve appeared lit the country adjacent to Cudiz, adding to the terrors of the famine In Andalusia. They are burning and robbing the farms of the' small farmers and the houses of the big 'and owners, and do not hesitate at murder and physi cal outrage The governor has called for rein forcements of 4?endarmery, and It may bo- necessary to send troops.

The people of the county are watch ing the reform movement In this city In Hongkong. In Singapore, In To kio, In Manila wherever soldiers, sailors and marines are to be found, the name of Hillth King, like thut of her preceptor, C. A. O. Miller. Is quite as well known to the men behind the guns as that of George Dewey or Gen eral Miles. More than two regiments of men have served time aboard prison ships and in government Jails as a result of Miss King's activities, and today more than HOOO enlisted men are hid ing In the world's four corners from this young woman, who knows nelthor distance, fatigue nor fear. Her occupation calls her into u:i travelled fields, and there she goes willingly and without fear. It Is her duty to locate and arrest deserters from the army, navy and marine corps and the government records show that she has delivered more than 2500 men who sidestepped their obligations to Uncle Sam's prison keepers. Strange enough, the men bear her no 111 will. It Is no uncommon sight to see Mis King walking through the streets of Philadelphia. New York, Norfolk and Chicago manacled to a burly coal- passer who has taken French leave of his ship or to a soldier boy picked up in Chinatown or found hidden be hind mamma's skirls, for bo It known that fond mothers do more to Inspire desertions from the army and navy than do all other factors. These good women will simply not understand that the search for a deserter never ceases and thut punishment Is sure. a a In her private life Edith King dif fers in no essential from other young women found In polite surroundings. Her work Is never done, and therefore her home life consists mostly of Pull man car berths, shake-downs In the slums and lonely vigils wherever her quarry may fT.id retrcut.
