"You will give your life to
protect your personal tumor, but
we only ask you to give your ;
Vote to protect the honor of !
your own city. No man can ;
have two musters. Kvery man
has u duty to perform. It Is
his duty to vote for good gov-
ernment, and the man who stays
away from the polls Is not only
a traitor to his duty, but a
traitor to civilization .iself. The
decent people are largely In the
majority in every city and In
every hamlet In the United
States. All they need to do is to
go to the polls and vote, and t
there will be no question about
the result." Frances J. Heney,
In San Francisco speech.
WUAT THE PKOPLK WANTED.
Counclmen Sweariugen and Murphy
and Mayor Matlock are to be especial
ly complimented In their opposition
to the gus monopoly as proposed and
supported by the Northwestern Gas &
iectric company and several mem
bers of the council against the best
Interests of the city.
Jt was due to the actions of these
men and the ugltutlon of the people
through the columns of the East Ore
gonan that the franchise was radically
changed from Its first form to the
form in which it was finally passed.
The main contentions of the East
Oregonian were conceded by the com
pany's representative and with the
modifications suggested by this paper
the franchise was passed by the
council.
From the beginning of the agitation
Scaringen, Murphy and Matlock
have opposed the outright monopolist
ic measure proposed by the company
and have stood by the people and It
was through their refusal to sign away
the rights and plrvlleges of the, munic
ipality that the company was defeated
In its designs upon the city.
As the franchise was finally formu
lated It gives the people a chance for
their lives. If prices of production
fluctuate, the cost of gas to the con
sumer can be changed to suit condi
tions, and if, after the plant Is estab
lished, the people desire to take It
over, they have that privilege.
This Is a radical democratic proviso
t be accepted by such rampant
monopolists as are manugtng this con
cern and it was a victory that the
people may well be proud of.
As to the lies and misrepresent!!
tloru of the Tribune In this matter
the East Oregonian desires to say that
tiie editor , of the Tribune Is not to
blame for those.
He is in the hands of a corrupt and
unscrupulous gang which compels
hirn to act the fool against his better
julgment.
The East Oregonian is not a new
fon.er. It Is needless to mention this
ta- And it will be found doing a le-
jrp.l nate business In Pendleton, de
fending the rights of the people
:pinst conscienceless monopolists
nn 1 grafters, and standing up for civic
decency, when the Tribune and all Its
ruling spirits are shoveling red hot
cin lers and sharpening pitchforks In
t:c!L
UNHAPPY MILTON.
The poor, deluded, misguided peo
ple of Milton are to be pitied, accord
ing to the ignoramus who writes an
avcaslonal editorial for the Morning
TriSune of this city. They have In
Tested their mony In a municipal elec
tric lighting plant and according to
the Tribune It would be better for
them had they thrown their money In
the well.
Muniipal lighting plants, accord
ing to the Tribune, are frightful things
for a city to deal In. They are un
profitable, Impracticable, unsatisfying
(.y i-s they should be left lor "wise"
corporations to own and manage.
Corporations are willing to sacrifice
themselves for the public good, you
know, and since there Is no profit
municipal lighting plants, cities should
pert.lt the public-spirited corporations
to bear the loss.
I; Milton go ahead with her pro-
gram. 8he has public sentiment and
common Reuse and practical business
wisdom back of her venture. She Is
now furnishing her people with light
at rate 75 per cent lower than Pen
dleton, where corporate wisdom In this
line hax reached a sublime and unap
proachable climax In the manage
ment. The people of Chicago are not all
fools. They will comparo favorably
to corporation ninnairers In remote
towns and know their business fully
as well. They have decided that
municipal ownership of i the great
utilities is the proper thing.
New York is filled with men as bril
liant us any connected with the Trib
une, either In the capacity of flunkey
or gas editor and they have voted
strongly for public ownership of pub
lic utilities.
Let the old fogies stand from under

r be smashed by progress,
Wolik mil Till'. ASSOCIATION.
In many towns of the size of Pen
dleton, In Canada, it is contrary to
the city ordinances for unoccupied
lots and vacant tracts of land In the
city to be allowed to go to wreck and
itrtnv up in weeds and be an eyesore
as many such lots and vacant tracu
become In this and other American
cities.
Here is a task for the Commercial
h
association. Ijct this body co-operate
with the city council In a campaign
lor civic cleanliness anu gooa appear-
janee. Dozens of scrap heaps In the
; cily limits should be removed. Dozens
I of untidy and forbidding spots should
be put In order. If not voluntarily by
the owners, thpn at city expense, the
cost to be assessed against the prop
erty. It Is unjust to owners of property
who do keep their premises In order
to permit another owner next door to
depreciate the value of all surround
ing property by his personal careless
ness. ItKMKMIlKU THE MORMON.
Let us curse the Mormon for his
polygamy. If we will. Let us belittle
his belief in- prophets and seers and
In laying on of hands and In Joe
Smith.
But before the Gentile dominated
.Suit Lake City it was a decent and
moral city. The Mormon believed in
municipal righteousness and enforced
his beliefs in 111 Mormon capital.
f.ientlle activity and Gentile domina
tion have been signals for a retrogres
slon from the Mormon standard of
civic morals.- In old Mormon days
there were no saloons, no gambling,
no social evil In Salt Lake City. It
was founded upon decent lines and
maintained upon those lines until the
unspeakable corruption of party poli
tics crept in to undermine the founda
tions of the city government
Polygamy, prophets, seers, supersti
tion, Joe Smith let us swallow the
entire Mormon dose rather than the
Gentile saloon and gamblers, and the
social evil which thrives under the
wings and through the support of
these.
JAPAN'S WAR DEBT.
Japan's national debt has risen rap
Idly on account of the war with
Russia, and the annual Interest
charge now amounts to J75, 01)0. 000.
This Is a good deal of money for a
comparatively poor nation like Japan,
and there are predictions that she will
find her debt a heavy burden.
Predictions regarding national debts
have often been remembered to the
ridicule of those who made them, at
was Swift's exclamation, "The allies
have ruined us!" when the English
national debt rose to 50,000,000.
Later, when the debt mounted to
140,000.000, "Junius" declared that
the English people could never pay It.
Today it Is 4,000.000,000, but England
continues to worry along.
a a
At the close of the civil war the na
tional debt of the Urlted States carried
Interest to the amount of J 150,000,
000 a year, or twice the amount now
paid by Japan, and the population of
the United States was only 34,000.000,
whereas that of Japan Is 44,000.000.
I'.y 18S0 the Interest charge of the
American debt had been cut In half.
partly by refunding, but largely by
paying off the debt. It Is now only
$24,000,000.
Japan Is on the eve o? making
money faster than the ever did at any
previous period of her career as a na
tlon. Her emperor showed good sense
in bringing the war to a close, for had
It gone much further Japan would
have suffered from the exhaustion.
That danger is over now. The Japs
will coin wealth In developing Corea
and exploiting various other resources
which have become fully available t-t
them as a result of the outcome of the
war with Russia. Evening Wiscon

Wil l, MANKIND PERISH FROM
THIRST?
Scientists are able to point out vari
ous tendencies and movements on the
part of the planet earth and Its peo
ple which may result In the destruc
tion of human life by overcrowding,
starvation, cold, heat or thirst.
For centuries lllhlical students,
starting from the promise of Noah
that mankind would not again be
swept uwa'y by a flood, derived from
other texts the opinion that the "end
of the world" would be by fire. The
largest collection of facts bearing on
the point Is probably in the works of
Prince Kropotkln, and relule to the
Russian empire and some of its Asiatic
neighbors.
Explorations in Central Asia have
shown beyond question that vast areas
now desert were once fertile. Iakes
and rivers which within historic times
were important factors in commerce
have disappeared or are disappearing.
The Siberian lakes have shrunk since
the eighteenth century. Novgorod,
the great market town of the Volga
region, owed its early Importance to
Its protection from Mongol raids by
vast murshes, which have gone dry
without any large effort to drain
them.
In Africa. Iike Tchad, w nich loom
ed so large In the tales of early ex
plorers. Is now a half-dried water bed.
Lake Chlroua. to the southwest of
Nyassa. has gone from the map.
Lake Ngami, discovered by Livings
tone, and then navigable, has censed
to exist. And In Australia, Ijike Eyre,
to mention only the largest water
body, has greatly lout in size in 50
years. In Europe no such great
change can be noted, although Spain
is certainly drier than It used to be.
In America no such startling
changes are recorded, though It is
manifest that such rivers aa the Ohio
now flow less regularly, if not less
copiously, owing to the destruction of
forests about their headwaters. And
here Is the practical point of such
collections of data as Mr. Whitby and
others hnve made on this subject.
To speculate upon the ultimate end
on earth of the human raco, and
whether It Is destined to die of thirst.
Is to reach so far into the future that
no conclusion of practical utility can
be drawn. But it Is perfectly plain
that If this and other nations wish to
avoid the Inconveniences of an Irregu
lar, and probably diminishing water
supply, they must take care of their
forests. Ch icago I nter-Ocea n.
ADVOCATES CHINESE DIET.
If the efforts of Miss Alice M. Ful
ler, lecturer on domestic science, nre
successful, the principles of Chinese
cookery will soon be Introduced into
American culinary art, and this na
tion rescued from the throes of dys
pepsia. Miss Fuller recently gave to
her pupils in the high school In
Union Hill, N. J., an Illustration of
the digestible character of mushroom
chop suey, too yan don and gem get
at a banquet at a Chinatown, restau
rant. "Chinese dishes," said Miss
Fuller to the New York Herald, "are
combinations of the most digestible
food put together so 'that all nutri
tive properties are easily assimilated.
Many vegetables used by the Chinese
have been Imported and are being
grown on a great farm on Long
Island, owned by a Chinese compa
ny." There are 900 voters In Centralla,
Wash. The registration for the com
ing election Is 200, 'he largest In the

ALL-IMPORTANT
FACT
That In addressing Mrs. Plnkham you
arc confiding your private ills to a woman
a woman whose experience with wo
man's diseases covers a great many years.
You can tulk freely to a woman when it
is revolting to relate your private troubles
to a man besides a man does not under

Many women suffer in sUcdco and drift along
from bad to worse, knowing full well that they
ought to have immediate assistance, but a natural
modesty impels them to shrink from exposing them
selves to the questions and probably examinations of
even their family physician. It is nu necessary.
Without money or price you can consult a woman
whose knowledge from actual experience Is great.
