WORDS. WORDS, WORDS!
The agility of T. T. Geer In using
scathing epithets, vulgar names and
low slang. In attempting to answer
cold facts, is remarkable. Voters will
not be won over by his answer to the
Qelden Grant affidavit. There is
nothing in his answer but attempts at
eloquent indignation, apologetic
phrases, self-praise and bids for sym
pathy. As the East Oregoni.in has said be
fore, had the editor of this paper
known personally of the Inside facts
of the Geer-Plummer matter it would
not have Indorsed Mr. Geer for sena
tor and would not have supported him
for any office. In Investigating that
political deal it found the facts which
it gave to the public. Mr. Geer can
do the explaining.
The public Is entitled to know the
record of office seekers and office
seekers must meet cold facts with sat
isfactory explanations. Words will not
take place of facts; abuse will not an

pressed fear that she would fall.
But the teacher, thanks to her ad
vanced thought and high, mental
plane, made the event a success for
her pupil by giving her good sugges
tions, by fixing the child's mind on
success.
"Just remember and think that you
are going to sing well," she said to
the girl. "Don't think of failure; be
hopeful; keep success In your mind;
imagine yourself doing well; con
stantly think, think, think of singing
persistent campaign before the voters 1 sweetly and you will sing sweetly."
and he must meet fairly and squarely
the written records of his political
deeds.
The people are entitled to know his
qualifications, his record, his political
calibre and character and if there
are things in his record which he can
not explain, the East Oregonlan Is not
to blame for it and should not be
held responsible.
Mr. Geer has made the fata mis
take of playing dirty polities and now
the reward Is at hand. Instead of
standing for something, Instead of
having a backbone and political In
tegrity, he has followed along with
the current of corrupt politics and has
naturally been engaged with other
machine men In some of the dirtiest
deals in the history of the state of
Oregon.
Take his newspaper work here In
Pendleton as an example. He has
never come out boldly and fearlessly
for anything; he never commits him
self; he never takes any decisive
ground; he always deals In glittering
generalities; you never know where
to find him; he always leaves a loop
hole open by which he may back out
of any situation; he dodges, shirks,
slides around Issues; he answers ar
gument with ridicule; he pats every
body on the back, but says nothing
that could be construed Into a deci
sive, well grounded sentiment on any
subject or issue.
What would he be as congressman?
And turning to the girl's compan
ion, she said: "And you can help her
by thinking of her as being success
ful; look forward to her number and
think that It will be the best; send
her good thoughts when she gets up
to sing; give her courage; give her
assurance of triumph, and she will
sing well and make no blunders."
And the girl's number was beauti
fully rendered. Will anyone question
the fact that the kind thoughts and
hopeful suggestions which she re
ceived from her friends, helped her?'
This is a little, every day Illustra
tion, but It shows the far-reaching
possibility of thought force If prac
ticed Intelligently, on very occasion
in life.

j OREGON'S RIPENING HARVEST.
One of the best harvests now ripen,

Romance, legend, thrilling experien

f 1 the better class of saloonmen have
been buncoed Into the belief that tho
morning paper was the best advertis

come to their senses since they get but
few return from ads in the morning
paper and now have determined to
advertise in the evening paper by
which they can reach the public.
That Is the reason their ads are now
found In the East Oregonlan, In
stead of In the Tribune as formerly.
They have paid dearly for their ex
perience with a morning paper, as an
alleged advertising medium.
The last and most convincing fact
which was needed to make them see
their mistake was when the morning
paper was forced to the desperate
straits of engaging In a lottery to In
