And the sad world began
But strews the wheat and saves

With a most evil fan.

That every prison that men

Is built with bricks of shame
And bound with bars lest Christ

With the echo of the last billiard In

ears; with the chill of the last cold
nap in Illinois. Iowa and Missouri
till fresh in memory, luscious straw
berries will be ripe In Umatilla coun
ts' and in other sections of the inland
mpire's semi-arid belt by May 1.
It seems Incredible, but It is never
theless true. While but few berries
have been planted in the west end of
the county as yet, It is evident from
the limited tests made that Hermiston
Umatilla, Echo. Posters and all of that
section will be able to market new
strawberries in Immense quantities by
May 1, every year, when once this In
dustry i followed scientifically there.
The pursuasion of the warm sandy
ail. the genial warmth of the early
spring sunshine, the mildness of the
winters and the absence of frost, all
combine to make that section of Uma
tilla count the Italy of all Oregon.
The waste lands there are beckoning
ti intelligent husbandry. Fortunes
are sleeping at the roots of the sage
rrush. Gold glints in the very sun
shine and contentment smiles In the
landscape.
MR. CAKE'S ADVANCED VIEWS.
After listening to the excellent ar
guments advanced by H. M. Cake, re
rvblican candidate for United States
senator, at the court house In this city
last night, no man could doubt the
Justice and absolute necessity of the
popular election of United States sen
ators. The political history which Mr.
Cake recited, showing the enormous
cost of the disgraceful senatorial hold
Bps, the wanton and extravagant waste
of the people's time and money In
Tolved in the hold-ups, should con
vince any fair-minded man of the
necessity for a change In the method
v choosing senators.
Mr. Cake has taken a fearless and
advanced stand for popular govern
ment and the election of senators. He
has surrendered, absolutely, every sel
fish motive and aim, If such ever ex
isted In his mind, upon the subject,
and trusts the selection of a senator
entirely with the intelligence and
courage of the sovereign people.
It is advanced ground to occupy In
tills tlrru Of strong political organiza
tion and active political machines.
Plsw men have found the courage to
tk- this ground In the face of the
party 'rgan!ation of their states
Few men have found courage to break
way from the party machine, to defy
the power by which the machine seeks
to name tickets, makf platforms and
dictate policies. Few public men have
found courage to surrender completely
tu the voter, and those few men who
have found courage to do these things
deserve the highest honor and recog
nition. "
Mr. Cake believes In electing the
people's, choice for the United States
seriate He believes In amending the
constitution to make that method
compulsory. He believes that in order
to secure an amendment to the con
stitution of the United States chang-
Once the Pendleton Tribune was a
ical republican paper, worked for the
Interests Of the party, advocated re
publican principles, represented re
publican sentiment in the broadest
and most comprehensive way.
Rut today and for the past yenr and
a half, the Tribune has been a one
man paper, a personal organ for T.
T. Goer, a narrow, petty defender and
apologist for Mr. Geer's record, boost
ing in every column of Its editorial
page Its otte central figure, T. T. Geer.
The Interests of the party in Uma
tilla county and eastern Oregon have
been neglected, abandoned In the Geer
campaign. Republican principles, in
sofar as they concern the state and na
tion are scarcely ever mentioned In
that paper, any more, but It Is Geer,
Geer, Geer, morning, noon and night,
in news, editorial and other Items.
No wonder It Is necessary to give
away prizes and engage In a lottery
to Induce people to take it. It will
require a very, very costly prize to
force many republicans to continue
taking this one-man sheet.
Aside from one or two unimport
ant papers in the second congressional
district, the Tribune, his own paper,
Is the only one supporting Mr. Geer.
But he makes up In self-praise and
self-adulation in his own paper what
hi- lacks Of support In other papers.
The republicans of Umatilla county
must look elsewhere for the advocacy
and defense of republican principles
and republican administrations, state
ard national. The Tribune has drifted
away from the party and Is now sim
ply a personal organ with .one aim in
view, namely the furtherance of the
personal Interests of Its owner regard
less of the Interests of the party or
any other member of the party. Does
It deserve the party's support. In view
of these facts?
RICHMOND P. HORSON.
Representative Richard P. Hobson,
the hero of the Merrlmac incident In
Santiago harbor during the Spanish
American war, will deliver the last
lecture of the reason on Pendleton
high school's lecture course, next
Monday night, April 13.
Hobson is typical of the unique
American figures which the Spanish
American war developed. His exploit
at Santiago was typically American,
typically heroic, an expression of the
vital young soldier-manhood of the
new world.
Notwithstanding his reputation as a
lecturer and as a congressman, (and
incidentally as a kisser) Hobson stands
before the American people today,
chiefly as the hero of the Merrlmac.
His oratory will sink Into Insignifi
cance when we think of him directing
the old hulk of a vessel Into the nar
row bottle neck of Santiago's -harbor
passage to blow It up and block the
passage.
Standing upon the platform In an
evening dress, his admirers will yet
look beyond this figure, to that of a
bronzed face soldier plunging Into the
salt waves of Santiago harbor with'
Spanish bullets whistling about him,
splashing the water uncomfortably
close and making war's tragedy ex
tremely realistic; friends will see only
the brave boys, led by Hobson, going
Into what seemed a death trap to
plant a rotten old vessel crosswise In
the harbor and blow her up, taking
chances for their own lives by leaping
Into the water to swim to safety or
go down to death. .
Such heroism in war is evidence of
a like sturdy citizenship In peace.
There are Richmond P. Hobsons doing
heroic duty In the common walks of
lift-; Hobson only performed a duty.
How many are doing this from day to
day, from year to year? That Is all
there Is to good citizenship: Just do
your whole duty, fearlessly.
It Is the soldier's creed.
