and are nearly unanimous In favor of

for saloon regulation and the suppres

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

When men cast partisan politics
aside and wade Into a moral question,
side by side by former political ene

situation in the county outside of Pen

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

state university, the state normal
schools, the state capital, the state

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.

will be secured. Voting precincts' will

have Joined to defeat government reg

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,

The Madrid governnrenl Is at
tempting to alleviate the distress
caused by the famine, but without j
striking success. Count Komanones. ;

fllcted itistrict, with a company of
expert advisers, and under his dlrec- ;

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,-
