this company, and others as well, are
extorting every cent In freight rates
which the people pay without openly
revolting.
For 20 years the people In the ter
ritory tributary to Spokane have been
paying the through rate from the
cast and then In addition, the local
rnte from Spokane to Seattle and Ta
eoma and return, on all their freight
shipments. They have paid for 400
miles where no sen-Ice was rendered.
"Take all the traffic will bear," has
been the secret rule for making rail
road freight tariffs In the west.
The ndmlsslon of Mr. Cooper veri
fies this assertion, harsh as It may
seem.
INDEPENDENT THINKING.

Whate'er of agony of heart be
mine,
Whate'er of labor ere my race Is
run,
Of weary darkness ere my day
be done
I shall remember how the dear
stars shine;
The mystic music of the wind
and pine.
The unspeakable glory of the
passing sun.
' The gossamers In looms of
. morning spun,
And where I worshiped, the deep
woodland shrine,
I shall remember to my latest
breath
And may I hear the vesper
sparrow sing
In passing, and behold the sun-
set light
Even unto the very gate of
death.
And after that dear God, I
pray thee bring
These that I love unto me
through the night.

PUOPERTY IS SITREME.
The East Oregonlun Is In receipt of
an earntst and well written letter from
an estimable woman of Pendleton,
complaining of the large number of
saloons and the congestion of Intoxi
cated men on Main street.
From the humanitarian and strictly
moral point of view, the Impassioned
appeal of this sincere woman Is right
and true and just and should be
heeded, but
PROPERTY IS SUPREME IN THIS
COMMERCIAL AGE.
Talk about red-ic'rig the number of
saloons an"d you ran directly against
the citizens who' own the buildings,
par the taxes and receive the rents.
As long as the government Is In
partnership with the manufacturer of
liquor, by placing his product In bond
and giving him money upon It, the
question will be difficult to meet.
Place the manufacturer of liquor
on its own merit, as the production
of wheat and lumber and boots and
shoes, is forced to stand, and Its ten
ure In society would be uncertain, in
deed. This Is an economic question, as well
as a moral question and as long as the
government Is In "cahoots" with the
liquor manufacturer, and as long as
cities, counties and states accept a
license from the business, It must be
respected and Indulged.
The saloon man Is not so much to
blame for conditions complained of
as the form of government which of
ficially recognizes the liquor business
and gives aid, In preference to the pro
duction of wheat, corn, flour, lumber,
steel or other commerci.'.l commodity.
There must be a change in the form
of government and In that change,
morals must be placed above proper
ty. Then these objectionable Indus
tries will find no standing room on
the foundation stones of the government.
Because so many former devout
church people of the United States are
silently drifting Into the rising tide of
new thought doctrine, Christian sci
ence, Independent thinking a well
known pastor of Denver says the
country is enjoying "an intellectual
spree," and that he longs for the day
of returning soberness.
That which offers the human mind
Its most satisfying food will bind and
hold the thinking element in every
community. Whether it is an intel
lectual spree or whether it is the in
nate Independence and power of the
mind asserting itself, it may be said
that there never was such a breaking
loose from old moorings as is witness
ed nt present.
Independent thinking Is penetrat
ing society as a chlnook wind melts
away the make-believe admantine
wall of the snowbank.
And yet people are not deserting
the issentlal elements of the religion
of the Nazirenp In their adoption of
the new doctrines of today. Rather
they are giving more perfect expres
sion to that religion.
COST OP THE LAND FRAUDS.
It is estimated that the prosecution
of the land frauds of the Pacific ei.oM
states will cost the United States gov
ernment $700,000 In money, beside the
disgrace which Is being brought upon
the nation by reason of the frauds.
The money cost Is the least Item In
the expense bill. The rovernment, or
even the western states, could afford
to pay that sum, if it would restote
the ruined reputations, wipe out the
memory of the unfortunate proceed
ings and reinstate the disgraced pub
lic officials and private citizens who
sacrificed their honor to their con
suming greed tor gold.
The lesson ! one which will remain
forever fresh m tne minds of the
rising citizenship of the Pacific coast,
and great a the cost may he, It Is not
n vain that the west has paid it.
The school year Just drawing to a
close has been the most successful
and prosperous for both St. Joseph's
academy and Pendleton academy, two
of the excellent private schools of
Pendleton. Both of these schools
have enjoyed a large attendance,
have added new features and have
extended their scope and Influence
nto the new fields. Next year will
be even better for both of them, be
cause of the widening Influences add
ed this year. Over 300 students have
found a place In these schools during
the past school year and the East Or
egonlan takes a delight in calling the
attention of the surrounding country
to the advantages offered by them.
"ALL THE TRAFFIC WILL BEAR."
In the Spokane freight rate hearing
against the Northern Pacific railroad
In Chicago yesterday, Thomas Cooper,
mining commissioner of that system
was forced to admit that the company
believes In advancing freight rates as
the country settles up and property
values Increase.
In other words, that his company
does not charge a freight rate which
Is based upon an equitable return on
Its Investment, but that it forces Its
patrons to give up "all the traffic
will bear" as a well known railroad
man has said.
Freight rates, then, on the Northern
Pacific are not based von good bus
lness principles, but upon the Idea of
graft If the sworn testimony of Its
mining commlsdonei- Is to be believ
ed. Instead of charging a rate based
upon a good, healthful Interest on
ihelr money, they make the people
pay tribute for Increasing property
values and Increasing prosperity.
The r.eople gave the N.irt icrn Paci
fic half the property It owns todny,
and Instead of exhibiting an appreci
ative spirit in giving fair and equi
table freight rates to the northwest,
One of the Important Duties of Physicians
and the Well-Informed of the World
is to learn as to tl-.a relative standing and reliability of the leading manufactur
ers of medicinal agents, us the most eminent physicians are the most careful as to
the uniform quality and perfect purity of remedies prescribed by them, and it is well
known to physicians and the Well-Informed generally that the California Fig Syrup
Co., by reason of its correct methods and perfect equipment and the ethical character of
its product has attained to the high standing in scientific and commercial circles which
is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that the name of the
Company has become a guarantee of the excellence of its remedy.
TRUTH AND QUALITY
appeal to the Well-informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent suc
cess and creditable standing, therefore we v:r.h to call the attention of nil who would
enjoy good health, with its l:tsinp, to the fact that it involves the question of right
living with all the term implioa. With proper k!;o7.-lcdc;o of what is best each hour
of recreation, of enjoyment, of contcsiplall'w ni;d of rTort may bo inado to contribute
to that end and the use ot medicines cii.speu.jed with generally to gieat advantage, but
as in many instances a simple, v. holesu'.ne l'f.ncdy may be invaluable if taken at the
proper time, tho California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present
truthfully the subject nr.d to supply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won
the approval of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Well-informed because
of the excellence of the combination, known to all, and the original method of manufac
ture, which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co, only.
This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under tho name of
Syrup of Figs and has attained' to world-wide accept? nee as the most excellent of
family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well
known to physicians and tho Well-In formed of the world to be the best of natural
laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
Senna as more fn'I.v descriptive of the remedy, but doubtlessly it will always be
called for by tha shel ter nar.io of Svrup of Fi:s and to get its beneficial effects always
note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co.
plainly printed on the front of every package, whether yon simply call for Syrup of
Figs-or by the full name Syrup of Firrs and Elixir of Senna as Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. and the same heretofore known by the name Syrup of Figs which has given sat
isfaction to millions. The genuine is for salo by all leading druggists throughout tho
United States in original packages of one size only, tho regular pi'ice of which is fifty
cents per bottle.
Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of tho Company, filed with the
Secretary of Agriculture, at Washington, D. C, that the remedy is not adulterated
or misbranded within the meaning of tho Food and Drugs Act, June 30th, 1906.

BRYAN 47 YEARS OLD.
William J. Bryan .twice democratic
candidate for president of the United
States, was born In Salem, 111., March
19, 1860. He was taught at home by
his mother until he was 10 years old,
and then attended the public schools
until he was IB. He studied for two
years at Whipple Academy, Jackson
ville, and then entered Illlonls col
lege, from which he was gradnated
in 1881. He studied law for two
years more and upon admission to
the bar began the practice In Jacksonville.
In 1887 Mr. Bryan removed to Ne
braska, and soon afterward his po-
itlcal activities were begun. In 1890
he was nominated for congress on a
platform written by himself. In the
house of representatives he attained
his first general distinction by a
peeeh in the course of the debate on
the Wilson bill.
He ' was returned to congress In
1892, and declined a third nomination
two years later. In 1898 and again
in 1900, Mr. Bryan, heading the dem
ocratic ticket, failed of election as
president.
When not engaged In active politics
he has devoted most of his time to
lecturing and to his editorial duties.
The railroad companies say that the
agitation for reduced freight rates
will destroy the railroad business and
cause railroad extension to stop. Must
railroads have a license to levy trib
ute upon communities before they are
willing to do business? Cannot a rail
road be operated upon fair and equlj
table business principles, such as flour'
mills, woolen mills, sawmills, foun
dries, brick yards and other industries
are founded? If there Is to be a fa
vored business let the government
conduct It In the Interest of all the
people.
PURPOSE.
Live for something, have a pur
pose,
And that purpose keep In view;
Drifting like a helpless vessel,
Thou canst ne'er to llfo be true;
Half the wrecks that strew llfe'i
ocean.
If some star had been their guide,
Might have long been riding safely
But they drifted with the tide.
Robert Wbltaker.
EVOLVTIOV,
The thing wo long for, that we are,
For one transcendent moment,
Ere the prent, poor and bare,
Can make Its sneering comment;
PUIl through our paltry stir and
strife
Olows down the wished Ideal.
And longing molds In clay what Life
Carves in the marble real.

James K. Martlne, the "farmer or

THE AGE O! MENTALITY.
Mind and soul conjblne to make
the unseen part of man. Together
they constitute the dynamics of this
human engine and together they con
stitute the greatest force In the uni
verse. Electricity Is a very great force,
but as great as.it Is, It Is a servant of
the force represented by the unseen
part of man.
The nineteenth century was an
age of electricity. The twentieth
century will i an age of mentality
wherein mental forces will come un
der the conscious control of the Ego
of man.
Keep vour ear to the ground,
brother, keep your ear to the ground.
The psychological laboratory of the
twentieth century Is going to do
more for the enlightenment of the
race than all the chemical labora

Is a very great deal. Business Phi

When earth uwakening calls to

With little yellow daffodils, "Tls

You mean the wondrous music of

When o'er the distant purple hills
Through soft piled clouds the great

You mean what the great sea Is fuln

It sines a lullaby at close of day.
