' TRIBUNE'S LOSING FIGHT. 3ecause the East Oregonian has tearlessly and persistently stood for decency In Pendleton, Umatilla coun ty and the state of Oregon, the Morn ing Tribune of this city calls it a po litical demagogue and says It has dis turbed "business" by agitation. The East Oregonian stands, always nd everywhere, for the law. Nothing more; nothing less. If the law is not wanted, get it off the books, but as long as it Is a law, enforce It. The Tribune has wantonly. In a highly Intelligent and progressive community of schools, homes and In dustrial activity, stood for the viola tion of the law. It has been the mouthpiece and voice of the law-breaker, while seeking support from the better classes in the community. The East Oregonian does not care a whit for politics, but it does care for decency. It has advocated law en forcement In the past and will advo cate It in future, because it is right. It Is the mission of a newspaper. It la the principle that Is dear to the hearts of the people and while It brings down the wrath of the law breaker, the East Oregonian has the consolation of knowing that it is on the right side, whatever dire results may follow. It is not necessary for a paper to stand for Indecency and law-breaking. The great majority of the people are clean, upright, decent and law-abiding and when the Tribune espoused the cause of the vicious minority it wilfully became the advocate of law breaking and the representative of the .baser elements In society. Agitation for law enforcement can not condemn a paper nor an individ ual before the thinking public. It . may condemn him before a few who ; break the laws. It is not necessary to become a moral degenerate in order to secure business. It is not necessary to pros titute politic to win. There are higher planes of action, cleaner ideals to follow than these, and the retire ment of E. P. Dodd from the position of managing editor of the Tribune proves that his fight against the bet ter classes of people and his support and advocacy of the worst forms of social depravity is a failure, and that his principles are not welcomed by the big, virile, warm-blooded, law- "lovlng, home-building people of Pen- dleton and Umatilla county. The East Oregonian regrets to see Mr. Dodd forced to resign from the editorial management of his paper. He is a young man, and Is said to be educated. This paper does not gloat over the failure of any man or Insti tution, but Mr. Dodd could not ex pect to make a Journalistic success and stand always for the worst In stead of the beat In society. His own party could not swallow his subservi ency to the saloons. If the moral tone of the paper changes with its new management, the Tribune has a mis sion in this community. Otherwise, It can have no hope. PEOPLE SHOULD NOMINATE. The principle at the base of the popularly enacted primary elections law makes for what President Roose- velt means, when he demands a "square deal." t The object of iVe l.v.v U to free the election of public servants, from con stable to United States senator, from the dominating Influences of graft, to make public stewardship a sacred trust Instead of a "private snap," and hold the servant directly accountable to the people his master for the faithful and honest discharge of his duty. It Is a singular fuct, however, but nevertheless true, that the harmless looking little legislative pledge con tained In the law Is the keystone In the nrch of the bridge over which Oregon is to puss from the quagmires of political corruption to the high ground of common honesty. The senatorshlp is the chief artery by which a slate Is connected with the political heart of the nation, and according as such artery Is strong or weak, healthy or diseased, so must be the political life of the state, ns wit ness a good many of our 46 common wealths. The election of United States senator by the people on practically a direct vote, at the very least takes from the legislature the power to put thnt of fice up at auction for sale to the high est corporation bidder. It has been Idle in the past; it will be futile In the future, to Inveigh against corruption In senatorial elections where there Is a vendor, a vendee and a thing for sale, and where the vendor Is In a po sition to deliver the goods no matter whose and get safely awrfy with the proceeds. Legislation cannot make a senator honest any more than it can a hobo, but it can, and this primary election law with the legislative pledge en forced, does make him accountable directly to the majority of the people of his state without regard to party, for party or no party behind him, he must have a majority of the popular votes ever to succeed himself In the office. The senators elected under this law will occupy a most unique position in congress. Being beholden to no In fluence or power save the electorate of their states for their election, their hands will be free and their escutch eons clean, the embodiment of sena torial simplicity and common honesty. Unconventional truly! But it is time for the innovation when conventional roguery In all high places should give place to right ideals. And this desideratum rests on the pledge that must be exacted from every legislative candidate of each party. It is "up to the people" to enforce this provision of the law and secure the "square deal." No legislative as pirant will have the courage to turn It down. No party as such will open ly oppose It, and will do It secretly at the peril of Its usefulness and ex istence, for this law in the march ot progress has come to stay. EASTERN OREGON LEAGUE. Eastern Oregon should have a branch of the Oregon Development league. There are subjects which require the services of such an organization In this portion of the state, and which are not such as would properly come under the programs of the state league. Why not call a meeting of the rep resentatives of the Commercial clubs of La Grande, Union, Elgin, Baker City, Huntington, Ontario, Burns, Wallowa county, and other places In terested to meet In Pendleton in Feb ruary for the purpose of organizing an eastern Oregon branch of the league? The Willamette valley league has accomplished much. It has se'eured outside capital for Willamette valley Industries. It has secured lower rates on Its products. It has secured bet ter train service, more publicity and better markets, and it Is a live, 'ener getic body, with a purpose and an aim and Is one of the busiest, most fruitful commercial organizations in the west. There Is room, material, necessity for such an organization in eastern Oregon. Will the people get to gether? Will they co-operate In their own Interests? $10,00 PREMIUM ON HOYS. When Senator Eugene Halo married the daughter of "Zack" Chandler, the latter, who was a great lover of chil dren said: "Now, Gene, I have no use for people who don't Increase the cen bus returns. I want you and Mary to raise a family, and I'll settle $10,000 on every boy you have." Time passed, and the Hales were so regularly bless ed with children of the male persua alon that the frequency with, which "Zack" Chandler was called upon to redeem his promise with checks be came a Jest among his friends In Washington, One morning the pres ident received the following tele gram from Senator Chandler: "For God's sake make Eugene, Hale a for elgn missionary! His wife has got an other boy." The Argonaut. The Wilson-Lyon Construction Co of Ban Francisco, has failed with lia bilities of $300,000, and a total loss to creditors ot $150,000. LEON A. The following beautiful poem was written by James G. Clark, a well known poet and singer who spent the last years of his life In Oregon, and who died in Los Angeles In 1896. t is said to be perfect In rythm, rhyme and meter and Is rated as one of the most beuutiful lyrical compositions In the English language. It was written during the spring of 1869, while the author watched by the deathbed of his mother. In a personal corres pondence carried on for several years with the editor of the East Oregonian, the author related the touching story that Inspired the lines: I.eona, the hour draws nigh, The hour ve'e waited so long; For an angel to open a door In the sky That my spirit may break from my prison, and try Its voice in an infinite song. Just now as the slumbers of night Came o'er me with peace-giving breath. The curtain half lifted, revealed to my sight. Those windows which look on the kingdom of light That border the River of Death. And a vision fell, solemn and sweet. Bringing gleams of a morning-lit land; I saw the white shore which the pale waters beat And I henrd the low lull as they broke at their feet, Who walk on the beautiful strand! And I wondered why spirits should cling To the clay with a struggle and sigh; When Life's purple Autumn Is better than Spring, And the soul flies away like a spar row, to sing In a climate where leaves never die! Leona, come close to my bed And lay your dear hand on my brow. The same touch that thrilled me' In days that are fled And raised the lost roses of Youth from the dead Can brighten the brief moments now! , We have lived from the cold world apart: And your trust was too generous and true For their hate to overthrow; when the Blunderer's dart Was rankling deep In my desolate heart. I was dearer than ever to you! I thank the great Father for this: That our love was not lavished in vain. Each germ tn the future shall blossom to bliss And the forms that we love and the Hps that we kiss Never shrinn at the shadow of pain. In the light of Otis Faith I am taught '" That Death is but action began; In the strength of this hope I have struggled and' fought With the legions of Wrong, till my armor has caught A gleam from Eternity's sun! Leona, look forth ami behold! From headland, from hillside and deep The day-king surrenders his ban ners of gold; And twilight advances- through wood land and wold' And the dews are- beginning to weep. The moon's silver hair Ifes uncurled Down the broad-breasted moun tains away;' E'er the sunset's red glory again shall be furled O'er the walls of the- west, o'er the plains of the woriij I shall wake In a limltlens day! O, come not In tears tt my tomb, V 1 i u.h f i-Il i 1 ftnvMt thf ami! There Is rest among roses too sweet for its gloom,. And life where the lilies eternally bloom In the balm-breathing gardens of God! Tet deeply these memories burn -vtruiv.

A poet breathed a thought In rhyme And eave it to the world In print; Hope came and whispered In his ear Of coming- fame a pleasing nint. He watched and listened, from the world. To hear a faintly answering sound But sped the years on speedy wings No echo from his cry he found. Like leaf let drift from parent tree, Whleh lodges In some quiet spot Aloof from haunts of men and rests Amid Its fellows, heeded not, The poem lingered many years Then like the dried leaf, zephyr stirred, It leaped from out Its hiding place And by the multitude was heard, From page to page It flitted on; In many languages found tongue; 'Twas stored In many hungry hearts; , By happy voices it was sung; Ten thousand lives were made more bright; Some souls were by It led to God The author murmured, "failed," ere he Was laid to rest beneath the sod, Arthur J.

When the maker of a mixlli-hm a,.IH through druggists for family use, takes ins pauonis iuuy into III commence by frankly and fearlessly publishing broad cast as well as on Its bottle wmnnnra a full list of all Its ingredients in plain Kiiylhth, this action on his part Is the best possible evidence that he Is not afraid to have the search light of invoa- ugnuun tiirneu iuii upon Ills formula and that it will bear tho fullest scrutiny and the most thorough investigation, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for the cure of the weaknesses, periodical pains and functional derangements of the or gans distinctly feminine, is the only medi cine put up for sale through druggists for woman's special use. the maker of which is not afraid to take his patients Into his full confidence by such open and honest publicity. A glance at the published Ingredients on each bottle wrapper, will show that it Is made wholly from native, American, medk-inivl roots, that It contains no poi sonous or linlilt-fonnlng drugs, no nar cotics and no alcohol pure, triple-refined glycerine, of -proHr strength lielng used Instead of the commonly employed alco hol, loth for extracting and preserving the active medicinal properties found in the roots of the American forest plants employed. It Is tho only medicine for women's peeular disea.ses, sold by drug gists, that does not contain a largo per centage of alcohol, which is In tho long run so harmful to woman's delicate, nerv ous system. Now, glycerine Is perfectly harmless, and serves a valuable purpose by possessing Intrinsic value all its own, ami besides it enhances the curative effect of the other Ingn-dlents entering Into tho "Favorite Prescription." Some of tho ablest medical writers and teachers cmlorso these view and praise all the several Ingredients of which "Fa vorito Proscription" is composed rec ommending them for tho cure of the very same diseases for which this world famed medicine is advised. No other medicine for women has any such im JemUmnl endorsement worth more than any number of ordinary testimonials. If Interested, send name and address to Dr. R. V. Pierce. IlulTalo, N. Y., for his little book of extracts from the works of eminent medical writers and teachers, endorsing the several ingredients and telling lust what Dr. Pierce's medicine are made of.
