WHAT ABOVT THE PEOPLE?
When no one but Senator Fulton
arsis working for the East Umatilla
Jbrigatlon project Secretary Hitchcock
ad the president turned It down.
But when telegrnms began pouring
ia from the great common people of
Aregon all political friction, preju
lrr and disagreement were swept
aide and the project was immediately
adopted.
So shall wc not give Pendleton
Commercial association and Pendle
ton's private citizens. Echo Commer
cial club and Echo's private citizens,
lrtland Commercial club and her
ajaivate citizens some credit for the
efeange In Hitchcock's mind on the
Bast Umatilla project?
Had Fulton been left to work out
Bae question alone, the project would
probably not have been revived after
at was turned down, while Fulton was
advocating It.
It would have gone the way of Ful
ton's other -recommendations Into
toe waste basket along with dozens
mt candidates for United States dis
trict attorney, registers and receivers
mt land offices and other suggestions
aT the senator.
Nobody denies that Senator Fulton
t doing and has done all along, his
try best for Oregon, but the unfor
tunate and peculiar situation In the
aUUe renders him well nigh powerless
with the administration.
It Is unforluliate for him and for
9te state, but It Is a fact. Right now,
arhen the eyes of the world are upon
regon she should muke her best
showing.
Tut there Is one certainty In the
premises and that Is this: No matter
v the president may disagree with
individual representatives on person"
c other grounds, yet the great cum
on people can always reach his ear,
and get a response.
A IW I KIOTIC SPASM.
A large number of newspapers are
tow having a patriotic spasm because
IU secretary of the navy, tiring of
The great expense of longer preserv
Ibg the hulk of the old Constitution.
as suggested that It be removed
iom Boston harbor (which is needed
tar modern vessels and modern com
anerce) and destroyed in some way
rat entirely bacrlleglous.
Eecause this old vessel took part In
a sea fight of the great Btruggle for
American liberty Is no reason why It
sjhnuld become a burden upon the
tople. The East Oregonlan claims
to be as patriotic on certain occa
sions, as any other ordinary newspa-ax-r,
and eld relics appeal to It more
saronKly than to most people, but
there Is a limit even to hero-worship
and rellc-kecplng.
The old boat has been rebuilt and
trbullt to preserve her from the ln
avcds of worms and natural decay,
mil she Is "herself no more. She
ta now tossed at her moorings a help
teas and pitiable wreck of the former
gullant fighter, and reason and com
mon sense dictate that something
ahould be done to remove the un-
sightly hulk and make place for mod
ern vessels In Boston, harbor. .
And let us nsk how many of those
who are suffering from the thought
of destroying this hulk of an old ves
m'1 which has been rebuilt with mod
ern lumber and canvas several times,
are taking part In preserving the
principles for which the Constitution
foupht?
How numy newspapers now shed
ding tears over the threatened loss of
the Constitution, the war vessel, are
standing In with the. common people
to preserve the Meals and meaning
of the rea! constitution of the govern
ment In opposition to the trusts which
are eating away Its vitals as the
worms afe eating away the timbers of
the sloop of war, of that sonorous
name?
How are popular liberty and popu
lar lights among the masses treated
In Boston anil the state of Massachu
setts, where this old hulk lies rot
ting? Are the principles of thg revo
lutionary fathers alive yet? Ar free
dom of speech, freedom of thought
and progress parts of the modern
creed of Boston, or do the monopolies
stifle these things with the threat of
business ruin?
Let us be consistent and know Just
why this old wreck should bo saved
before we shed any crocodile tears.
The masses of the people and their
rights need attention as well as un
feeling hulks of old vessels.
As the magnitude of the land frauds
committed by McKlnley, Puter and
their Infamous gang Is made public
the widespread demand for the cap
ture and conviction of these bold
thieves becomes more emphatic.
Cannot the state of Oregon and the
United States government run down
'this gang and bring It to justice? Must
It be Bald that after boldly stealing
through forgery, perjury and fraud
over $100, 000 worth of valuable land
certificates, realizing the cash upon
them, that this gang will go free? It'
is a national disgrace which should
spur the state and government to the
most strenuous endeavor to bring the
thieves to Justice. It will be a re
flection upon the capacity of the gov
ernment If they are not apprehended
and lodged In prison.
The people of the east end of Uma
tilla county are now supplied with ex
cellent bridges and roads, according
to the reports of the county court. It
Is especially favorable to that part of
the county that a substantial bridge
has been placed over the Tumalum at
the old ford which has been a menace
to travel for years. With the new
road roller the roads of the county
should be put In excellent condition
within the next two or three years.
The temporary repairs should be
abolished In every Instance and noth
ing but permanent road, on a fixed
and permanent grude located by the
county surveyor, should be built here
after. The gamblers read the East Ore
gonlan more closely now than ever.
Judging from the quick response they
make through their "official" organ,
to anything appearing In these col
umns concerning them.
SUBSTITUTE FOK SALOON.
Some time ago a coffee club was
.started In San Diego, to nfford a place
of recreation and entertainment,
where no Intoxicating liquors, cigars
or tobacco In any form should be sold.
It was not started by a reform ele
ment, pledged to philanthropy, but by
a private company as a matter of le
gitimate business. The agreement
provided that the business should be
extended with the profits of the first
venture, If profitable; If not "profita
ble. It should be closed out, like any
other non-paying business.
In due time a second club was
opened In San Diego, and tater one
each In Los Angeles, Santa Clara, Pa
kersfield and Petaluma. All are suc
cessful financially and socially. In
Los Angeles the two clubs are visited
lally by from 1000 to 1500 persons. It
Is estimated that the saloon business
has been cut down one-half In some
of the towns named, by the club busi
ness. Pacific Searchlight.

;L1KN Nl'GGETS FltOM THE
AHGONAIT.
A Boston public school teacher was
trying to give her pupils a definite
Idea of a volcano. With red chalk
she drew on the blackboard fiery
flames Issuing from a mountain top.
When the drawing was done, she
turned to the class before her, and
said: "Can any of you tell me what
that looks like?" "It looks like hell.
ma am," replied the minister's son,
with startling promptness.
A woman once told Lord Pulmcrs
ton that her maid, who had been with
her to the Isle of Wight, objected to
going thither again because the oil
mate was not "embralng" enough.
"What am I to do with such a
woman?" she asked. "You had better
take her to the Isle of Man next
time," said Lord Pnlmerston,
W. S. Ciilbert, the dramatist and wit,
was lunching at a country club when
he found himself surrounded by six
or seven clergymen who had been on
a motor tour of the country there
about. Pretty soon the author of the
"Mikado" was drawn Into conversa
tion. When his identity was known,
one of the clergymen asked Mr. Ciil
bert how he felt "In such grave and
reverend company." "Like a Hon In
a den of "Daniels," was the reply.
During the Spanish war the men of
a certain New York regiment, recruit
ed on the East Side, were spoiling for
a fight, and it became necessary to
post a sentry to preserve order. A
big, husky Bowery recruit, of pugilis
tic propensities, was put .on guard
outside, and given special orders to
see that quiet reigned, and, If trouble
came his way not to lose possession
of his rifle. Soon a general row bo
gan. The soldier walked his post
nervously, without Interrupting, until
the corporal of the guard appeared
on the scene with reinforcements.
"Why dliTn't you stop this row?"
shouted the corporal. The sentry,
balancing his rifle on his shoulder,
raised his arms to the boxing position,
and replied: "Shure, phwat could I
do wld this gun In me hands!"
Soon after the first baby was born,
the young wife went upstairs, one eve
ning, and found her husband standing
by the side of the crib and gazing
earnestly at the child. As she stood
still for moment, touched by the
sight, she thought: "Oh, how dearly
Charlie loves that boy!" Her arms
stole softly around his neck as she
rubbed her cheek caressingly against
his shoulder. The husband started
slightly at the touch. "Darling," he
murmured, dreamily, "It Is Incompre
hensible to me how they can get up
such a ciib as that for 99 cents. The

"BLIMMIXG.'
Mrs. Cralgle, the woman novelist,
says: "All clever women bllm. Don't
know bllmmlng? It's Just talking
plesaant things."
Now. every woman of you, get busy
and bllm.
It sounds good.
"Talking and talking pleasant
things." Not sensible things, mind
you, not momentous things, Jut
pleasant.
Could anything be more softly fem
inine, more sweetly amiable?
And what a cleverness It must take
for a woman to obliterate herself un
der a becoming sea of bllmmlng, and
let her husband do the strenuous part.
It Is the secret of feminine suc
cess In soeletv: and It Is a good moral
rule for anybody.
Hurrah for the woman who bllms!
