PENDLETON'S INESTIMABLE WEALTH.
The East Oregonian has such firm faith In the future of Pendleton that It
may be over-optlmlstlc at times. It simply bubbles over.
But there seems ample justification for. Its optimism. Any one who will
calmly survey the resources and prospects within the bounds of Umatilla
county must be Impressed with the immensity of them, and with the possi
bility of development.
The two great legs upon which the county stands are the agricultural and
livestock industries two Industries which will always increase In value ns the
county settles up.
Growing out of these are hundreds of auxiliary industries which must
thrive as the parent industries thrive. As irrigation extends over the county,
stock feeding must increase, making a demand for young stock and hay. As
the land is settled up more and more, the fruit crop will demand fruit can
neries to take care of the product. These industries will employ men who In
turn will spend their wages In the towns and cities of the county.
As the country districts settle up, they will make a demand for merchan
dise and manufactures. This demand will be answered by larger stores in
r enmeton and by manufacturing plants here which will use the raw materials
raised In the county.

M "lln settlement or tne wild land of this county. One farmer will invite
another. Finally a settlement will be formed. Then the settlement will de
mand better roads and schools. Then it will demand mail routes, delivery
mreci communication wmi the county seat and commercial center and. finally
the tendrils of industry, the chains of community interest will link every set
tlement In the county with the throbbing hear of the central point, which is
now and which must always be PEXDLETON".
The Salem Journal says of the re
cent decision of the sup re me court on
the exemption clause of the assess
ment law:
Our supreme court finds that the
contention of the New Hampshire
parties. hat a householder' exemp
tion of ?300 Is unconstitutional, Is
right.
The legislature created the 1300 ex
emption, which Is not enumerated in
the constitution among exemptions
which may be created by legislation.
This will throw millions) of dollars
of property into the tax rolls nnd tax
thousands, of small property owners
who have hitherto escaped.
Tt will relieve the owners of large
properties just in proportion and
hrnce In a direct benefit to the big
taxpayers.
Chances s.re some bis taxpayers In
the state hid the suit brought by n
non-rpstdent to raise the question of
unequal taxation.
The constitution should be amended
to allow some exemption to the house
holder, as many people have nothing
but $50 to $300 worth of property In
the world, and should be given the
exemption.
There nre too many exemptions en
Joyed by the people who hpve large
property Interests to pretend that no
exemptions should be allowed to the
little fellows.
As wealth Increases In I he hands of
one individual he Is better able to (lis
tribute and hide his holdings, while
what the poor man ha-s Is running at
large and In plain sight.
Til K VOYAGE OF THE DEWEY.
"THE YOUNGER SET" OP AMERICANS.
The twentieth century has developed a wonderful "younger set" In the
United States.
Some of the greatest national movements of the past decade have been
Initiated and carried to fruition by the younger men the fearless young fel
lows who have refused to be awed, purchased, hoodwinked, deceived or bull
dozed by the predatory rich and criminal combinations of the country.
The packing house investigations were started by Upton Sinclair, a young
man of 27. The United States senate has been exposed and Its rascality laid
bare by David Graham Phillips, a young man just turned 30. The breaking up
of the boodlers' gang in St. Louis was accomplished by Joseph Folk, a youth
ful district attorney. The life Insurance frauds were exposed' by Hughes, a
man under middle age. The coal trust was thwarted in its designs to rob the
public in a movement started by Hearst, a young man. The Standard Oil
trust was put upon the rack In Missouri by Hadley, one of the youngest at
torney generals in the United States. The western land frauds were unearthed
and punished by Heney, who has not yet reached the meridian of life.
And at the front of the rank, leading on the fearless young brigade of citi
zenship. Is the president of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, just at the
prime of life.
Truly it is the day of young men. It is a day when merit In men of every
age and station is recognized and honored. It is a hopeful sign. If these
.young men have accomplished so much in the beginning of life, what may
. not be In store for them in the years of maturity?
If they remain true to the trusts Imposed In them; If they withstand the
temptations of the god of gold; if they keep their honor unstained and their
activity on the right road, there is no means of measuring the good they may
accomplish for mankind.
"Peace hath her victories no less
renowned than war."
Secretary Bonaparte has just com
pltmer.ted the little squadron that
successfully towed the big dry dock
Tev. ev half way around the earth.
Tt wan a fine accomplishment, call
Ing for Yankee skill nnd tactful cour
age.
The Dewey Is a big. unwieldy mass,
weighing 10.000 tons an awkward
thing to manage in water. Unskillful
handling In a storm would result In
ruin to the towing and guiding ves-
sels. Dangers from all sorts of mls-
hars Ind to he taken Into considera
tion angers feebly realized by a
liuid 'ubher when the chances for
success were counted.
Commander Hosley nnd his men
managed the monster nnd towed It
without a mishap the 12,000 miles.
WILLIAM T. STEAD ON THE
THAW-WHITE CASE,
The feat of the Oregon which, dur
ing the Spanish-American war. broke
the record in Its run down the Paci
fic coast,and around to Cuba, has been
much heralded. It was well done.
Hut the Oregon had no Impediment
nd was free to steam full ahead.
The phenomenal voyage of the
Dewey from the Virginian Capes to
the port of O'angapo is a historic one.
nd the sailor men are deserving of
the secretary's praise, and the praise
f the people. Memphis News-Sclml-
tar.
William T. Stead, the noted English
reviewer, gives the following estimate
of the Stanford Whlto murder:
Whatever may be said about the
killing of Stanford White by Harry
Thaw, one thing Is very evident the
case brings to light the corruption and
vhiousuess that prevails among the
American millionaire class today.
From what I am given to under
stand of the Inner life of those people,
a state of affairs exists similar to that
which prevailed In the Witter days of
the Roman empire. These people
seem pluniced in vice and debauchery,
and ure living - utterly Irresponsible
lives, thinking only of their own grati
fication, and following up their desires
even to the point of murder and assassination.
It seems ns if millionaires, In their
diregnrds of t ho-right of the common
people, their display of fabulous
wealth, their lack of respect for the
decencies of existence, have reverted
to a condition of life similar to that
which the wealthy classes displayed
Just before the breaking out of the
French revolution.
Personally, I am quite prepared to
justify killing In certain situations. 1
would like to see all those who prey
on female virtue summarily dealt with.
Homicide Is Justified In self-defense,
In the protection of helpless Inno
cence, and when due, as I have pointed
out, to sudden and overwhelming pas
sional Instinct.
But, apart from these conditions, no
one has the light to take the law Into
his own hands; unless, as I have said,
he Is quite prepared to lay down his
own life fur that of his victim, like
Charlotte I'ordny did. or as the Rub
sian nihilists do today. If all men
were permitted to take lite because
thev consider their victims unfit to
live, there Is no telling where the mat
ter would end. We would have men
annihilating each other merely for the
gratification of a grudge.
For my own part. I am never sorry
whi n I hear of the killing of men
who make It a practice to prey on fe
male virtue especially seducers who
ruin young gliis; and I think that all
civilized people agree with me In this
view. Every one Justifies Vlrglnius
for slaying his daughter to save her
from Appius Claudius, for there was
no redress In law; no one cavils nt the
Justice meted out to Tarquln; and In
modern times, when Lord Leltrlm, the
Irish landlord who preyed on the
wives and daughters of his tenants,
was slain by one of the men on his
farm. It was felt that the world was
rid of a monster.

VOI
Is the joy of the household, for without
fi it no happiness cun be complete. How
ia weet the picture of mother and babe !
Angels smile at and commend the
thoughts and aspirations of the mother
bending over the cradle. The ordeal through
which the expectant mother must pass, how
ever, is so full of danger and suffering that she
looks forward to the hour when Bhe shall feel
the exquisite thrill of motherhood with indescribable dread and fear.
Every womun should know that the danger, pain and horror of child,
birth can be entirely avoided by the use of Mother's Friend, a scientific
liniment for external use only, which toughens and renders pliable all
the parts, and assists nature in
its sublime work. liy its aid
thousands of women have
passed this great crisis in per

SOCIAL "WIRE TAPPING.'
There is a certain class ofback-alley shopkeepers In the big cities who
-continually live by pilfering. They steal everything they can find, from old
shoes to electric light.
A favorite crime of these cheap tradesmen is to tap the eletcric wires in
secret places and enjoy light that some legitimate merchant or business man
la paying for. For months they enjoy this theft. They attach wires to the
circuit leading to some large establishment and although they do not buy light
and could not afford light, if they got In the regular way, yet they enjoy light
In the dingy shops they occupy. s .
It is called "wire tapping."
Have you not seen social "wire tappers" at work in your acquaintance?
There are persons In every community who ape the manners of the rich, Imi
tate (he shams of "high society," borrow manners, assume haughty airs, sport
luxuries entirely out of their reach, look down upon and ridicule people
"below" them In life, force themselves Into places where they scarcely dare to
enter, and where they are not wanted, pinch at home to make a show abroad
starve In order to have "sporty" clothes for their backs, and perform all such
unnatural and wicked acts.
They are simply "tapping the wires" of people out of their class. They are
enjoying light that Is not paid for. They lead a strenuous and high-tension
life and sooner or later the truth outs and the secret of their light Is laid bare,
Wire-tapping is a perilous business. It Is a pace that kills.
Jail sentences strike terror to the hearts of the land thieves. As long as
they thought they could "pay" out there was not much stigma attached to
rascality, but when the thieves are put Into Jail with other common criminals,
they begin to realize where "they are at." The same applies to the trusts,
As lung as the trusts could pay a fine and continue to operate, they cared not
a whit for the law. But when they got Into the clutches of the courts and
were sentenced to serve terms In Jail, they Immediately entertained a sacred
respect for the law and began to make efforts to evade trial. It Is hoped that
the land thieves who are found guilty are sent to Jail. It will be a lesnon that
will last It will not soon wear off. And above all things, It is sincerely hoped
hat the thieving trust representatives are sent to Jull for their crimes. It will
be the' best form of trust busting that can be practiced.

T.ondcn music lovers have been list
ening recently to what may be de
scribed ns the most remarkable vocal
organization In the world-rthe "Wie
ner Mannergesang Vereln," or Vienna
Male Choir.
It Is no exaggeration to describe the
Vienna organization ns a "choir of
millionaires." for among Its 300 mem
bers it numbers more men of wealth
than probably any other private com
pany in th eworld. One of Its leaders.
Htrr Krupp. of the famous gunmak
Ing firm. Is worth $40,000,000 nt the
lowest estimate, while there are at
'.p'isi 50 other members each of whom
claims from $1 000.000 to $10,000,000
in his own right. As a matter of fact,
practically every member is worth
not less than f .11)0.000. the majority
being nearer 11.000,000 than tinder
it.
Here, for example, is a list of some
of the most prominent members of
the choir, together with the amounts
of their fortunes:
Hcrr Krupp, gunmaker. $40",00,-
000.
Herr Schnelderholm, straw hat
maker, $8,500,000.
Herr Dusehnitz, ropemaker, $6,-

the foregoing list comprises only
members of the Vienna choir who are
men worth more than $4,000,000.
The opulent singers nre known all
over Europe ns the "Musical Million
aires." Everywhere they go and
(hey travel extensively throughout the
continent they are welcomed In tru
ly regal style. They have the entree
at most of the European courts, and
their audiences frequently Include
kings and emperors. When In Eng

Queen Alexandra herself called for
several encores.
