PENDLETON IS URGED TO "CLEAN UP"
The following pertinent communi
cation which was sent from Athena
ffcr publication in Ffndleton papers,
tii a genuine expression of public'
entiment from gcod citizens of
Umatilla county who are friends of
Pendleton and desire to see her tin
bon-.e and school town of the inland
empire.
The communication is as follows:
Athena, June 3. (To the Editor.)
When talking about Pendleton to
strangers the writer takes pride In
calling attention to her advantages In
natnial location, her schools, her
magnificent church buildings, her
banking and mercantile establish
ments, her hotels, her mills, her pav
ed streets and her push and energy;
but has Pendleton done all this with
in herself?
Hut she not been backed by one of
the grandest countries In many re
spects on the face of the earth?.
Therefore we believe Pendleton owes
it to herself, the surrounding coun
try and neighboring towns to clear
vp the old, suffocating, pioneer sport
ing atmnsrhere that has dominated
the city for years and elevate her
. moral standard.
Now, whll'i gambling Is not con
ducted openly, prominent men among
you are frequently In the courts In
connection with some gambling case
and wild stories of large winnings are
continually afloat and are listened to
to the detriment of the young man
bond of the country.
Are not such offenses looked upon
fob much In the light of a joke by
Pendleton people? Are there not
men there today that have been with
you for years and were never known
to do anything hut gamble?
Tld your city authorities ever or
.dcr a cleaning up? Did anybody ever
bear of tinhorn gamblers stealing
bicycles with which to escape the
wrath of the Pendleton officials, like
was reported to have been done In a
aelyhhorlng city
Are not your 31 saloons, or one for
every 200 of your population, allow
ed to open early Sunday afternoon in
time tn catch the carloads of our
ynng men who are Induced to at
tend ycur Sunday ball games, and
gve the hired help of the country an
cprortunlty to fill up on Pendleton
booje for Monday morning, to the
detriment of the Industries that have
built yon up?
The moral conditions In Pendle
ton were discussed, we ' believe, to
her detriment during the session of
the last legislature when the proposi
tion to move the normal school from
We. ton to Pendleton came up. Not
only In eastern Oregon, but In Salem
the matter was talked, and aealn
when your committees were soliciting
financial support for your academy.
Fact Are Apparent.
N-iw. Is this picture overdrawn?
Are thee conditions good for Pcndle-.
ton Do they look good to people
hnntlnif for a place to school their
ehlldrn Is property Increasing In
rslue cr even holding Its own? See
how they have cleaned house in Wal
la Walla. Isn't property increasing
in value there. See what Spokane is
doing In this respect, and even the
little mining towns of Idaho are en
forcing the law.
We know the officials of Pendle
tcn to ba good, reliable business men,
but we believe the town Is entitled to
and should demand a hlghter moral
standard. There are smaller towns
In .the county that are striving to
Improve their moral conditions, byt
nil the effort Is mad doubly hard
by the example of Pendleton.
To use a slang phrase, we do not
wish to. "knock" Pendleton; It Is
with the best of motives that we taks
up the subject. Now, will Pendle
ton do her. duty? Though there are
numerous, cmestton marks In this ar
ticle, we don't require of the editor
nece-snrlt an answer In detail.

Osteopathy
How the Medical Men Would Check
Its Growth.
The Seventh District Medical Soci
ety of Iowa, meeting recently at Pes
Koines, went in to on extended and
vry serious discussion of ways and
means of stopping the progress of
osteopathy. There is no way on
earth, gentlemen, as your past efforts
have proven.
One of the learned doctors sug
gested that they employ massuers, as
serting that this would keep people
from going to the osteopath. By
which the doctor evinced how little
he knows of osteopathy, and mas
sage; or, ih he knows, expects - to
hoodwink and deceive the public.
This latter policy Is an old game and
Is rapidly losing Its force as people
become educated to osteopa'hy. In
Iowa It Is certain the M. Ds. fire
wricttng their powder, for Iowa Is the
second strongest osteopathic state
Viamf wiser M. Ds. have Investigated
and dlxcovered the truth that the
new science Is really a distinct and by
far the moat advanced system of
healing .have studied In osteopathic
colleges, and discarded medicine en
tirely. Can stronger testimony be
given for osteopathy?
