vUNION fc.lL BEL.
There was probably never a
phrase coined that means so
much as that which emanated
from the brain of our brilliant
president, Theodore Poosevelt,
namely: "Give every man a
square deal." That is a sentl-
ment that will live for al! time
in this country. It is typically
American. It is the true Index
of the highest type of American
citizenship. And Its .greatest ex-
empllficatlon should be found in
the retail merchandising busl-
ness. The merchant who can
establish the reputation of glv-
iiiK his customers a square deal
will always command his full
share of trade in whatever
community he may be located.

PERMANENT LECTURE BUREAU.
The lecture bureau organized In
Pendleton for the past winter should
be made permanent and should have
thi' hearty eo-operiticn of all the best
people In the city.
The attractions brought to the city
by the bureau during the past winter
Included Jacob Riis and Maro, and as
a. closing number on April 14, Senator
La Follette. There are no more en
tertaining and elevating attractions
for a thinking community than these.
Rlis and La Follette are. men of a
world-wide reputation for doing things
and their presence In Pendleton Is in
spiring. The bureau should be encouraged.
It has not been a money-making ven
ture, Indeed, If the income from the
La Follette lecture does 'not prove to
be large, there will be a slight deficit.
The people who are interested in
this class of Intellectual attractions
should get under thu bureau and help
make It permanent and self-supporting.'
THE LESSON OF JFRISCO.
It remained for Francis J. Heney
to nr.earth the saturnalia of graft
and corruption in San Francisco. The
ftench from the municipal government
of the Buy city reaches to heaven.
Only one public official so far, has
not been accused or indicted-
The labor unions of San Francisco
picked up Schmttz who had nothing
at stake and made him mayor
Sehmitz picked up Ruef, who had
nothing at stake, and made him boss.
This Is not saying that men of
wealth do not become crooked ras
cals in office as well as men without
wealth. But it is true that In the case
of Sehmitz he permitted himself to
be used as a tool, and became himself
an abject tool of the most appalling
municipal thievery In the history of
the country.
This will be a perpetual stigma on
the unbridled labor union rule which
has debauched San Francisco. Here'
after the people of San Francisco will
demand substantial men, with moral,
financial and business responsibility
for their public offices.
ROOSEVELT, REVOLUTIONIST.
The announcement made from the
White House yesterday, concerning the
nullification of state legislation on the
railroad question by the national gov
ernment, and on the dismantling of
gilt-edged railroad bonds bv the
treasury department, was positively
alarming, revolutionary, from the con
servative standpoint.
President Roosevelt does not believe
In holding watered railroad bonds as
security for public deposits evidently,
and Intends to squeeze the water out
cf the Inflated values and place them
on their proper level.
He is absolutely right in this posi
tion. There Is no more reason for
accepting railroad bonds as security
for government funds than there Is In
accepting the bonds of any small con
cern In Pendleton as security. The
principle Involved Is the same and If
the government shows discrimination
the people lose faith tn It
The tendency has been to place the
Influence and assets of the govern
ment behind private corporations, If
the corporations were big, and In this
way many of the rich concerns of
the country have speculated and
plunged on the people's money secur
ed on Inflated and dishonest securities
from the government.
Wo must get back to the safe and
sound basis. The corporations have
been using the government as a re
source from which to draw funds for
speculation. This movement has been
going on so Imperceptibly that the
people have lost sight of the danger
ous tendency, and the decision of the
Roosevelt administration to refuse fa
vors to railroad bondholders, while
it may seem revolutionary, judged
from the false standards which have
been built up, Is yet the most demo
cratic and tubstantlal move made In
the financial circles of the nation for
many years.
FREEWATER-MILTOX GROWTH.
The pioneers and opt'm'sts of the
east end of Umatilla county who have
waited and hoped for tlie coming of
the deserved business enterprises to
that favored district are now about to
realize their dreams to tho fullest ex
tent. The electric line Is about completed
into Milton and Freewater and today
the East Oregonlan announces In its
Freewater correspondence that over
100 acres of tomatoes have been con
tracted for the new cannery now being
built there. i
"All things come to him who waits,"
(If he waits In the right kind of coun
try). Soon the Freatr-Miltori dis
trict will be huiiimlni! with industrial
enterprises and the rlcn agricultural
land of that locality will be yielding
fabulous returns.
This Is but the beginning. The elec
tric road will not stop at Freewater
and the Freewater cannery will not be
the only one built in Umatilla county
In the next few years.
THE GOVERNOR IS "GUILTY."
If the recent legislature did any
thing of which it is ashamed, It can
place the blame on the governor.
The governor seems to be such a
potentiality in Oregon that 83 free and
independent members of the majority
party In the Oregon legislature could
do nothing with him. The governor
Is responsible for every mistake made
by the session of 1907, according to
the whining heard in different quar
ters about the results of the session.
The truth of the matter is that the
session of 1907 will be known as the
most extravagant, wavering, undecid
ed and dodging session of recent years
and those responsible are trying to get
out from under the galling responsi
bility. Hepresentative pottl-mior of Marlon
county, says the greatest failure cf the
session was In Its lack of organiza
tion, leadership. It had no head nor
tall and did not know one dav whPi
It would do the next day on any sub
ject. This Is a pretty harsh verdict
to come from a member of the ma
jority.
Now let the state rights people
howl. The president says that the
state laws on railroad fares, freight
rates, regulation and other features of
the railroad question are not worth
the paper they are written upon. This
Is centralized government with a
vengeance. But it Is best. The gov
ernment should own the railroads
anyway, and the president is simply
paving the way and making the final
possession of them by the people easy.
Harrlman has faith In Oregon and
Is unawed by the Investigation of his
railroad interests. He will complete
the vast railroad projects begun In this
state and In this determination shows
an excellent spirit. If he Is really not
afraid of an Investigation, If his prac
tices are such that he can Invite In
vestigation, this transient flurry will
leave him stronger and more power
ful. PNEUMONIA'S RAVAGES.
Pneumonia now Is killing over 200
people a week In Greater New York.
All of the hospitals are being besieged
for the admission of patients suffer
ing from this dread ailment and these
Institutions are being taxed to their
utmost.
This probably has been one of the
most unhealthful winters New York
has experienced in many a year, and.
whatever we New Yorkers may say
about our city, when Indulging In
some pride-puffed remarks, we cer
tainly cannot say much for New York
weather. It Is the dampest of damp
colds In winter and the hottest of hu
mid hot In summer. With the hu
midity and ever-changing conditions
It Is the limit. So much so .that re
cently, when a New Yorker consulted
his doctor and asked him If he did
not think a change was needed, the
latter replied:
"Yes, you do need a change. Stay
right here In town and you will get
one every half hour."
J ist as the snowfall this winter has
been most unusual for the metropolis,
so have been the moisture and the
fogs. This, physicians hold, Is respon
sible for the prevalence of pulmon
ary troubles' which are causing an
average of 550 deaths a week. New
York Letter.
J. Milton Sullens of Prairie City,
has been appointed forest ranger,
and William A. Cargwllle t:f Wasco

Political Note and Comment
William J. Bryan Is scheduled to
speak in several cities of Michigan
during the latter part of March.
The legislature of Arkansas has
changed the date of the state elec
tion from the first to the second
Monday In September. The change
was made to avoid conflbt with the
celebration of Labor day.
Vice-President Flrbanks, It Is aver
red by Washlngtonlans, Is very par
tial to frequent and copioua applica
tions of Medford rum and castor oil
in an effort to prevunt the spreading
of that bald spot which is now so
nicely covered by dexterous manipu
lation. It Is reported that Senator Foraker
of Ohio has contracted for $2000
worth of photographs, to be followed
by hthograplis, newspaper cuts and
timely cartoons. The senator evi
dently expects to get his features well
In the puhf'c eye in ample time for
the national convention.
Vice-President Fairbanks has ac
cepted an Invitation to deliver the
principal address at the laying of the
cornerstone of the new $60,000 Y. M.
C. A. building to be erected in Bay
Citv, Midi. The cornerstone will be
laid the latter part of May or early
In June.
Ex-Governor Frederick Holbrook
of Vermont has Just passed his 91th
birthday, and Is still one of the hard
est working public-spirited men In
the state. He is the eddest ex-governor
In the United States, and, with
the exception of William Sprague of
Rhode Island, he Is the only survivor
of the governors contemporaneous
with him in office during the Civil
war.
fHoven democratic candidates for
the United States sonatorshlp from
Oklahoma are now In the field. Thev
are Colonel Roy Hoffman, of Chan
dler; T. P. Gore, of Lawton; M. L.
Turner, of Oklahoma City, and XV. S.
Whlttlnphlll, of Enid, from the Okla
homa side; Colonel Robert I.. Owen
and Morton Rutherford, of Musko
gee, and Henry M. Furman, of Ada,
from tho Indian Territory side.
in Indian Territory there are three
brothers named Walts, each of whom
Is mayor of the town In which he re
sides, all of them democrats, and all
elected to the office of mayor on the
same day. They are Thomas J.
Watts, mayor of Mulgrow; Jesse O.
Watts, mayor of Saltisaw. and
Charles O. Watts, mayor of Wagon
( r. They are the sons of W. J. Watts
who established a home In Indian
Territory In 1871. All three 1 are
lawyers.
I. Freeman Rasln, who recently
passed away at his home In Balti
more, was for thirty-five ypars demo
cratic leader of that city and the,jo
lltlcal lieutenant of the lato Sentor
Arthur P. Gorman. It was Rasln' and
his control of the city that kept Gor
man In power during the latter'! ca
reer. His death, It Is said, may throw
the entire political situation In Balti
more into chaos and result In making
Attorney General Charles J. Bona
parte dictator In Maryland' politics.
According to the Sun certain
prominent New York city democrat-i
profess to believe that already the
foundations of a boom for Morgan J.
O'Brien for governor of the state
In 1908 have been laid. Mr. O'Brien
Is E5, twice elected a supreme court
justice of Now York county and was
appointed by the late Governor Hlg
glns to be presiding Judge of the ap
pellate division of the First depart
ment. Justice O'Brien resigned to
enter the law firm of Albert E.
Boardman and Frank H. Piatt.
French Delicacies.

hurdred of species of caterpillars,"
says M. Dagtn, a French entomolo

these pleasant to taste, light and di

roach of our kitchen Is what M.
Dagan waxes most enthusiastic over.
"Pounded In a mortar, put through a

these creatures make a soup prefer

your stomach Is delicate, abstain

FOLLOW YOUR OWN LIGHT.
You are but what you are; analysis
Is folly, and ends In nothing else than
alms of vaporish foundation. What
does it matter what you are? What
does It matter where you are? You
hope, you win, fall, struggle with
thousands of souls and ages.
Go, throw away your theories, your
precepts, and philosophies. Follow
tho light that Is given to you; a gnat
or god can do no more; follow your
native light, be It pale or strong;
though it lead to fortune's palace or
to fortune's hut; and following It, you
are greater far, with your penniless
pockets and your patched up clothes,
than the king on his throne or the
millionaire that turns away from the
rays of his better dreams. The only
crown is dignity; the only dignity is
fidelity ifidelity to your guiding stars,
whatever they might be.
Suppose you have no guiding star?
Eternal Justice would sympathize
with a fall In the darkness, and not
condemn. But few are the natures
that have no stars; though many are
controlled by perversity, which pre
fers the artificial to the real, and
looks to every guidance but the natu
ral. So live from the light within you,
as best you can see, as best you can
do; that Is your mission, your fate,
your reward. No tribunal of heaven
can ask of you more. Bert Flnck, In

PIANO TALKS
Visit a reliable house that carries a piano of established prestige.
Have the salesman present the merits of this Instrument. Then go
to stores where only very ordinary grades are carried. The claims
for these pianos will. In most cafes, be practically the same as those
expressed for the fine piano. Such claims are simply a challenge to
your common sense. Test the tone quality and the action of the dif
ferent instruments; examine their workmanship, and you will require
no further evidence of the difference existing In pianos. .
The fact Is there are poor pianos, goofl pianos, high-grade
pianos and artistic pianos. The responsible house will carry a com- -plete
line of reliable grades and show you plainly where they differ.
Then It Is simply for you to choose the one you best can afford to
buy. Our policy is to serve all classes of patrons who want the best
piano value for the money they have to spend. We have low-priced,
medium-priced and high-priced pianos. We can demonstrate that
every Instrument we offer Is the best that can be given for the money,
and we make no claims that are not Justified.
WE HAVE FIXED A PRICE FOR EACH GRADE OF PIANO AND
EVERY INSTRUMENT HAS A TAG SHOWING ITS PRICE
ITS ACTUAL VALUE.
