To catch Dame Fortune's golden
fmlle,
Assiduous wait upon her:
And gather Rear by every wile
That's justified by honor. .
Not for to hide It in a hedge.
Nor for a train-attendant
Put for the glorious privilege
Of being independent!
The fear o' heil's a hangman's
whip
To hold, the wretch in order;
But where you feel your honor
crip
T.t that aye be your border!
Its slightest touches, instant
pause
Debar a'slie pretences:
And resolutely keep Its laws
Uncaring consequences!
Robert Burns.
T!E SCHOOLS ASSfRKD?
Will the referendum vote of the
people of Oregon assure the existence
of the Weston Normal sfhool? Will
the politicians and selfish schemers of
certain portions of the state dare to
meddle with the public institutions
outside of ?alem again after this em
phat'c rebuke from the people.
It Is unfortunate for eastern Ore
gon that the unsettled condition of
eastern Oregon state institutions has
held hark this portion of the state. It
Is magnificent empire of wealth and
development. It Is entitled to state'
Institutions, and yet the narrow self
ishness of other parts of the state has
kept her state Institutions in continu
al turmoil and uncertainty.
The tate experiment farm at Union
has beep a huge Joke since It has been
known that Salem determined to abol
ish It. The Weston Normal has been
standing on one foot. In expectancy,
for several years wondering If the next
legislature would refuse to support It,
nd so !n this condition the great em
pire of "astern Oregon has been re
tarded In its growth.
Does the referendum vote of the
people settle the matter once for all?
May eastern Oregon go ahead now
and build up the Weston normal and
and he asred that western Oregon
will net stab It to the heart at the
flrt opportunity?
A settled and well defined basis
should be established and the state
schools which are needed for the
training of teachers, should he Just
as firmly founded outside of Salem as
In Salem. This continual struggle for
life should be eliminated. Eastern
Oregon Is a portion of the great state
and the people of this portion of the
state should feel secure In their priv
ileges and should not be kept on the
anxious seat year after year by the
Insatiable selfishness of Salem.
The people of western Oregon are
all right. It Is the politicians and
schemers who will be personally ben
efitted who make all the trouble.
bbowxeli. is out.
The character of George C. Brow
nell, who for 12 years has ben state
senator from Clackamas county, and
who as such has dominated politics In
v and largely In Salem, Is
history of the state.
-e was never ""h
groundwork. If he has ever foste-ed
a movement or a measure from honest
principle, the East Oregonlan la un
able to remember ruch an Instance at
this time.
And yet ho has been successful In a
political way for over 15 years. He
has secured such a Klip on state poll
tics, through grasping certain opportu
nities us they presented themselves,
that he has enjoyed almost a despotic,
power at times. And he has always
used It to advantage.
Ills chief occupation In the state
senate has been to pull the strings
which by some devious manner camo
l:iti his political fingers. He has
pulled them right and left, to his own
advantage and has sought in . every
possible way to surround public men
with such a network of obligations to
him, that they would be compelled to
rerosnle him.
While he has held the support of the
woolen mill employes and other labor
forces Ir Clackamas county, he has
been a secret foe to labor. Ho has
knifed labor bills In the legislature,
deceived labor representatives In com
mittees. Ill open session In the legis
lature and in private life. He has
broken promise after promise to them
and yet by some Incomprehensible
means has kept the labor vote of his
own county.
Take away his oratorical ability and
there Is nothing to George C. Brown
ell. His manner Is not convincing.
He shows the deceit which he prac
tices In every movement and how ho
has maintained such a grip on state
politics as he has enjoyed. Is a mys
tery. It Is to be hoped that his retire
ment from politics is permanent. He
has done the state no good in his
long service. He has been a corrupt
ing force always at work to tear down
honest legislation in the interest of
some corporation which paid him. His
defeat has been long In coming. May
It be perpetual.
T11K XKV POSTMASTER.
'.lim" Brown has made a good
water superintendent and he will
make a good postmaster. No more
satisfactory choice could have been
made. He is a steady, capable, care
ful official and his long service In the
water department of the city has put
him In touch with the public In such
manner that he will step Into the post
office, fully equipped for the place.
Mr. Llvermore has made an excel
lent official. There are few men In
the city more popular than he, and
while It it is regretted by many of his
friands that he could not be retained,
yet his friends feel compensated In
the fact that J. T. Brown is to be his
successor.
The postofflce' Is a most difficult
public office to fill. There are so
many kinds and classes of people to
deal with that It Is well nigh Impossi
ble to prevent complaints. But the
people of Pendleton are assured of a
continuation of the excellent standing
of the Pendleton office. The East Or
egonlan, perhaps one of the most ex
tensive patrons of the postofflce, con
gratulates both Mr. Brown and Pen
d'eton on the appointment.
IP. RESPONSIBLE LAISOH.
White men who arc shiftless and
irresponsible are to blame for the In
troduction of foreign labor Into the
United States largely. The corpora
tions, of course, are In search of cheap
labor, but their experiences have
taught them that cheap labor Is not
always good labor and so if white men
could be found who would remain per
manently with their Jobs, a large por
tion of the foreign labor would be
discarded.
The character of the transient white
labor now available In the northwest
Is so unsatisfactory, that it is possible
that Japanese will be Introduced Into
the various construction departments
of the railroads. Bridge carpentering
painting, mechanical repairing and
other departments of railroad systems
are constantly In nd of permanent,
steady men, and if such men cannot
he found, Japanese will be Introduc
ed Into these departments without fall
before long.
The officials regret the necessity of
such action, but rather than suffer the
nt aggravation caused by shift
men who work only long
"grub" stake, for-
""d. So the cor
WHO IS TO BLAME?
The following Indictment of those
who are responsible for . the filthy
packing houses, is from a sermon by
ltev. Herbert S. Plgelow, pastor of the
Vine Street Songregatlonal church of
t Iniinimtl. the noted single tax min
ister and lecturer:
In bis famous letter to the London
Times on the land question In Russia.
Tolstoi spoke of several ideas as ripe
for discussion and action. He spoke
of private property in land as the
"nearest mid most obvious evil." llo
held that besides facing this evl our
civilization must also face the prob
lem of capital punishment, prostitu
tion and militarism. And to this c-ite-fiory
of ripe problems he added til"
practice of flesh eating.
The packing house exposure Is the
most effective argument ever made
for a vegetarian diet. It will be hard
for Imaginative people to forget those
dead rats ati.l amputated fingers.
They will reflect that there Is already
an army of government meat Inspec
tors. If. with till these inspectors. It
took a socialist novel to acquaint the
public with conditions, how secure
will these Imaginative people feel
when the government has a few more
Inspectors? i
Wo used to go to the priests for
salvation. Now we go to the state.
We fly to the arms of the government
Inspector. Just as if he had not al
ready been tried and found wanting.
"Oh." said a lady, "the government Is
going to put a label on the meat. It
wlH be all right, now." Great Is gov
ernment ! With a government label
on the sausage and a rabbit's foot
around the neck, may luck be with
us! At any rate, we may try eating
as Governor Tingree used to vote
holding the nose.
Socialists have capitalized this inci
dent. They have a right to It was a
socialist who started it. So they say,
"Let us establish government packing
houses. And the one resource which
seems to occur to every one an in
crease of the Inspectors Is socialistic
In Its 'tendency.
There is this difference between
socialistic people and socialists. The
socialists want the government to slick
our pigs for us. The socialistic people
want the government to tell the pack
ers how to do It.
Put the church as jvell as the state
Is under Indictment. Has not the
church been telling us that the Indi
vidual problem is everything, that if
the Individual soul Is saved, society
will save. Itself. Are not the packers
church members? Is not their gold
lifted to God every Sabbath day? Do
not their pastors encourage them In
the IdeA that their souls are already
saved? Has the church lost Its ef
fectiveness or Is Its philosophy wrong?
Put while we are waiting for the
church to convert the packers, or for
socialism to convert the packing busi
ness, why not turn vegetarians?
There are weary arguments for and
against this course. But "don't ar-1
gue try it." This Is the time to make
the expertment. Perhaps meat eating
is not at all a necessity as Is thought,
but only a habit.
We are not responsible for the tooth
and claw struggle of the universe.
That is the saddest of mysteries. But
we remember the words of the pro
phet: "They shall not hurt or destroy
In all my holy mountain." Those
words were born in man's soul. Is It
not his destiny to give them reality?
P.Ol ACHOSS X)TIXENT.
One of the hie: nroiecls of half
centurv ago that appealed to the Im
aginations of the people was a propo-
siiiiin in ouuu n wagon rnaq rrom me
f fslsslrtnl tn Ihn rtcoin In thn k
of May 5. 1356, appears the following
aiier on mis project:
W hpiir thut n hupn nclltlnn la fin
the way from California, praying that
congress will tortnwitn cause a good
uirnii mml tri bf. constructed frnm
Missouri to the Pacific. The state of
things on both the .New uranadian and
N'lcarairiian Isthmuses should be
enough to warn congress. It seems to
us, of the vital Importance of prompt
ly doing all they can constitutionally
do by way of Insuring convenient and
safe intercourse between our Pacific
possessions and the rest of the Union.
The project of Mr. Herbert, similar
In Its essential features to that of Mr.
Phelps, or something, of the sort. Is
the ltpv to the solution of the difficul
ty. This provides for an overiano
mail, with stations not more than a
convenient day's ride apart; the land
he stntlons only to be
donated to the contractors or settlers
upon it.
Were such a plan carried out. In one
year after the first effort to carry the
mall In that way there would be a
line of hardy settlers upon the route,
su'fl'-len to afford ample protection
to travelers and to furnish them with
supplies for themselves and beasts.
Nothing has so astonished us among
all he funny things done by congress
of late years as Its failure to consum
mate some such plan for insuring the
safety and convenience of the overland
trip to California and Washington and
Oregon territories.
