TO WHOM IS THE CREDIT DIE?
In an editorial ridiculing William
J. Bryan and his reform measures, T.
T. Geer, editor of the Pendleton Tri
bune, takes all the credit to his own
party for the reforms In popular legis
lation which have come to Oregon in
the past few years.
The facts are that every one of
these reforms was bitterly fought and
ridiculed by the leaders of Mr. Geer's
party in Oregon, including himself.
When they were suggested by the
populists.
Now that the people have adopted
them, Mr. Geer claims them as tri
umphs of his party aud ridicules Mr.
Bryan who has always stood for these
principles.
The East Oregonlan remembers
when Mr. Geer referred to the refer
endum, now in force in this state, as
the "referen-dum-dum," and ridicul
ed the idea of such a measure ever
being adopted by the people of Ore
gon. Mr. Bryan has always stood fcr
popular government and his princi
ples are being appropriated annually
by the republican who see in them
a remedy for the ?vils of republican
policies of the past.
Mr. Iloosevelt, an excellent man,
has been opposed by a powerful ele
ment in his own party in enforcing
Mr. Bryan's principles in his admin
istration. Let us give Bryan credit for what
Is due him, at least.
NO MONOPOLY OF- RESERVES.
Since the meeting of stockmen of
eastern Oregon at Sumpter a few
weeks ago, cattlemen of Umatilla
county who have ranged In portions
of the Blue mountains forest reserve
adjacent to their homes, for long
periods, complain that their range
has been allotted to sheepmen and
that they have either been removed
to far distant parts of tho reserve
where they have never before rang
ed, or else are shut out entirel".
This looks like a monopoly of the
forest reserves for the sheepmen and
Is strictly contrary to the regulations
of the department of agriculture In
the management of the reserves.
Regulation No. 48 of the "Use
Book" for 1006, which regulation Is
now in force and has been In force
since the range leasing system was
adopted, says:
"Applicants for grazing permits In
forest reserves will be giver, prefer
. ence In the following order:
"(a) Small nearby owners.
"Persons living In or close to the
reserves whose stock have regularly
grazed upon the reserve range nnd
who are dependent upon Its use."
Thn same regulation goes on to say
that after all of this class of appli
cants have been provided for, then,
and not until then, shall other appli
cants be considered.
The spirit of the reserve policy Is
to protect and foster the home bulld-
IT'S RIGHT HERE
that the superiority of our blank
books, stationary and office essen
tials makes Itself manifest, as they

goods is of the highest and as they

certainly can see why It will pay

er, the land owner near the reserves,
but the enforcement of the regula
tions by forestry superintendents is
contrary to this spirit.
The Ettft Oregontan has been furn
ished with the names or 10 small
cattlemen of l.'mattllu county who
own land adjacent to or in the vicin
ity of the Dark Canyon district in
the Blue mountains forest reserve,
who have been denied the use of this
ta li (to by
forestry officials, although
those men have been occupants of the
range for many years and in most of
the cast's have used no other range.
These men are homeowners, homo
builders, small stockmen who live
111 Umatilla county and whose use of
the Blue mountain forest reserve
range has been undisturbed while
they were building up the cattle In
dustry fit the county.
Are they to be crowded out, now,
and the sheepmen given a monopoly
of the range, in strict violation of the
regulations?
Is the small cattle owner of eastern
Oregon to be trampled out of exUc
ence, simply because he is a small
owner and has no "stand in" with
the forestry service?
The cattle industry In Umatilla
county represents over half a million
dollars and Is one of the oldest and
best established industries in the
county.
It must not be crowded out and
destroyed through a violation of the
forestry regulations.
"THF STAR SPANGLED BANNER "
So ultra-patriotic has the war de
partment become that it wishes to
canonize the "Star Spangled Banner"
and cause everybody to rise to their
feet and salute whenever they hear
a bar of the old song played.
It's all right for the war depart
ment to love the old song. It contains
sime good music. It is endeared to
the hearts of Americans by Its hi:
torlc associations and long use.
But there should be no coercion.
Some people don't like music of any
kind and they are good citizens, too.
Other peoplo don't know the differ
ence between the "Star Spangled
Banner" and "Down in Kalamazoo
especially when rendered by many
modern artists.
The war department can be patrl
otic in many more practical ways, 1
seems. The boys In blue would feel
more like rising to their feet and sa
luting the old song. If they knew the
department which made such an or
der, always furnished pure food,
eliminated grafts in the purchase of
supplies and gave the boys in the
ranks the same treatment accorded to
the officer in uniform.
The News-Sclmttar of Memphis,
one of the strong democratic papers
of the south, says of President Roose
velt in reviewing the president's re
cent tribute to Robert E. Lee: Mr.
Roosevelt has done many things
which have brought to him criticism
and censure, but he so splendidly
atones for his seeming errors that
men are gratified to overlook them.
It has been the sincere pleasure of
the Nows-3clmltar for many months
now to express Its great faith and
confidence In this son of a southern
woman. this well-rounded, true
blooded, earnest, honest, powerful
American, who is making for himself
a name and a fame which no other
president has achieved since the
stormy days of 4-ndrew Jackson.
It Is said that the movement to
create a new state from parts of
eastern Oregon, eastern Washington
and northern Idaho was started by
friends of Senator Ankeny, who foel
that the senator will be more certain
of long service In office In the new
state than in the state of Washington

THE ONLY WAY.
No unwelcome tasks become any
the less unwelcome by putting them
off till tomorrow. It Is only when
they are behind us and done, that we
begin to find that there Is a sweetness
to be tasted afterwards, and that the
remembrance of unwelcome duties un
hesitatingly done is welcome and
pleasant. Accomplished, they are full
of blessing and there Is a smile on
their faces as they leave us. Undone,
they stand threatening and disturbing
our tranquility, and hindering our
communion with God. If there be
lying before you any bit of work from
which you shrink, go straight up to
It and do it at once. The only way to
get rid of It Is to do It. Alexander
MacLaren.
HOW NEBRASKA WOMAN
BEAT GRAIN TRUST.
From Platte Center, Neb., comes a
story to the Atlanta Journnl, which
tells of the life-work of an intrepid
woman "trust-buster," Mrs. Kate Ke
hoe. After years of competition with
the' Nebraska grain trust, Mrs. Kehoe
was still glorying In her Independence
when the trust was forced to dissolve
by the Interstate commerce commis
sion, and In the proceedings she was
one of the most Important witnesses
against the trust. "She Is on deck
vet." we are told, "doing a business of
not less than J200.000 a year." The
dispatch continues:
But she had n hard fight of it. How
close she was pressed is only now
coming to light. She thanks the loy
alty of the farmers hereabout for the
victory.
Mrs. Kehoe Is a widow who has
lived here since 1888. Her husband
was an accomplished business man,
who taught her his work before he
died, and she continued it with suc
cess.
But this woman was not allowed to
conduct her business In peace. She
had to reckon with the Nebraska grain
trust. It began "picking" on her 10
years ago. She was warned to get
into the trust. The feminine In her
made her determined not to. Warn
ings given by agents and in letters
were Ignored, and then she found she
could not get cars when she wanted
them from the Union Pacific. How
ever, the freight department of that
road heard from her so persistently
that she was able to get some cars.
enough to keep her business going,
although it galled her to see her trust
competitor across the tracks appar
ently getting cars without difficulty.
The next move of the trust was to
bid up the grain at her depot, offering
about 1 cent higher than the Omaha
prices, which were the ones that pre
vailed. Mrs. Kehoe was compelled
to have the quotations wired to her
several times a day to keep tab on the
market, but this did not enable her to
bid ruinous prices for grain.
For quite a while she simply existed
by buying what grain she could and
selling it to brokers at points as re
mote as Memphis, Chicago nnd Kan
sas City.
The fact that she still clung to the
business made the trust desperate,
and she was again besought to enter
the combination.
The fight had been going on for
over two years when what looked like
a knock-out blow for the gritty widow
came. A fire destroyed her storage
houses with their contents of grain.
What caused this fire Is a mystery to
this day.
Mrs. Kehoe's answer to this disaster
was characteristic. In a few days the
carpenters were putting up the frame
work of a new elevator. che redou
bled her attention to business, buying
early and late and making prompt
settlements with the farmers and giv
ing them a square deal all around.
For their part they gave her all
support possible. They began to make
It a point to help her down the trust.
Year In and year out she kept up the
fight, sometimes even losing money
and drawing upon her implement bus
iness to bolster up her grain trade.
In Its arrogance the trust aroused re
sentment all over the state and a
great exposure of It was made by for
mer .agents.
MI ST SERVE THE PEOPLE.
The people of the United States will
not complain becnuse the members of
the United States senate voted an In
crease In their pay to J7500 per year.
The large duties that rest upon men
who have capacity to be senators far a
nation as progressive and prosperous
as ours Is sufficient Justification for
the Increase in pay.
There is, however, one thing about
which the American people are going
to be more particular In the future
than they have ever been heretofore,
and that Is to sec that the service for
which they are paid Is actually ren
dered. The American people have not only
the best but the exclusive right to the
entire service of every man elected to
either branch of congress, apd they
are unwilling that a part of this serv
ice and probably the best part of It
shall be given to corporations In which
its legislative representatives are in
directly If not directly Interested.

TRAGEDY OF THE DESERT.
In a fight for water, which meant
life to them, out on the Arizona desert
Friday, one prospector was wounded
and the owner of the waterhole with
Its slender and Insufficient supply of
water, In that barren region priceless,
was killed, says a dispatch from El
Paso.
After two weeks of prospecting for
gold on the desert, two brothers and
Lynn Desplaln, nearly perishing from
thirst, came upon a waterhole known
as "Bears wells." 25 miles from Sa
lome, Ariz.
An old man named Jones had taken
possession of the waterhole and for
bade the prospectors filling their
empty kegs. Refusing to obey him,
continued to replenish their supply
from the hole, when Jones seized his
rifle and opened fire on them and the
fight began. When It was over Jones
was dead and BUI Desplaln was badly
wounded.
To Stop Corruption.
Senator Poison of Hoqulam has in
troduced a corrupt practices bill In
the Washington legislature that Is In
tended to eliminate every form of
graft In this state. The bill prohibits
the acceptance of "any consideration,
gratuitous service, or benefit what
ever, except the amount flxod by
law," and punish bribery of any kind
by Imprisonment for 10 years or for
life alike for the bribed and briber.

WINTER IN AFGHANISTAN. .
The cold Is Intense, the snow lies
deep In the streets and the winds are
freezing. Winter, beginning early In
October and continuing until March,
renders life In Kabul difficult and un
comfortable. Charcoal Is the chief
fuel, and as the houses, owing to
numerous doors and windows, are
very draughty, the supply of wood
very limited and coal unobtainable, It
Is necessary to wear, even In the house,
treble thicknesses of clothing, and the
longest, warmest and thickest of fur
coats outside the doors.
Meal times under such rigorous
conditions are a distinct misfortune.
All foodstuffs freeze solid, bread has
to be chopped with an ax and drink
ing water broken with a hammer.
Pickles, sauces, Jams arid ink are bet
ter put away until the spring.
