The kind of a man for you and
me!
He faces the world unfllnchlng-
iy,
And smites as long; as the wrong
resists,
With a knuckled faith and force
like fists:
He lives the life he is preaching
of.
And loves where most is the
need of love;
His voice Is clear to the deaf
man's ears,
And his face sublime through
the blind man's tears;
The light shines out where the
clouds were dim,
And the widow's prayer goes up
for him;
The latch Is clicked at the hovel
door,
And the sick man see the sun
once more,
And out o'er the barren fields he
sees
Springing blossoms and waving
trees.
Feeling, as only the dying may,
That God's own servant has
come that way,
Smoothing the path as It still
winds on
Through the golden gate where
his loved have gone.
James Whitcomb Riley.
THE REASON WHY.
I
A a reward for 1U self-sacrificing
efforts' to Improve the moral condi
tion of Pendleton and Umatilla coun
ty. the East Oregonlan Is now being
accused of having changed Its front on
the liquor and gambling questions.
Everybody In Umatilla county and
eastern Oregon knows that the East
Oregonlan started the fight on open
gambling and wide open saloons In
this city and county. They know that
for two years that agitation was kept
up fearlessly, continuously, when but
very few people had the courage to
come in the open and share the bur
den. The result of the agitation was the
clo'lng of gambling in this city; the
removal of boxes and music from sa
loons; Sunday closing and midnight
closing and close regulation of the
liquor business in Pendleton, things
sr.a't were deemed impossible In Pen
dleton when the East Oregonlan start
el the agitation to the surprise of
every one.
In that long fight for better moral
conditions the paper villified. boycot
ted, attacked, Its business taken from
it. its motives assailed. Its income cut
down an 1 its efforts crippled In every
way by the enemy. It did not have
the courageous support of even those
Who should have been with it. People
sood aloof and watched the fight but
they did not get into the thick of it.
Th-y let the paper bear the brunt and
suffer the loss.
The very men today who are re
ceiving pay for advocating prohibi
tion, stood aloof and smiled In maud
lin sympathy, without allying them
selves with the movement for better
morals.
No other paper In Pendleton dared
to come out boldly for better morals,
but stood with the alleged "business
Interests" and pointed to the East Or
egonlan as a dlfrturber and a meddler.
Today the same paper which thus
pointed to the disturbing of ."business"
Is playing to the prohibitionists for
pay.
When the East Oregonlan finally
saw that It did not have the support
of those who should have been with
It In its fight, It simply put down its
hands. It Is tired of fighting the
fight alone. It is weary of seeing Its
friends patronize and support the en
emy. If people want prohibition, reg
ulated saloons and better moral con
ditions they know how to get them.
The East Oregonlan started the agi
tation and carried It forward as long
as It felt able to do so, alone.
It stands today for better moral
condition, pure municipal life, clean
government, better conditions, a model
home and school town for Pendleton,
Just where It has always stood, em
phatically In favor of such things.
Hut what Is the need for the East
Oregonlun to commit business suicide
when none of its friends and none of
the friends of better metal conditions
are willing to make a like sacrifice
or to help support the paper In its
fearless fight?
The East Oregonlun has done Its
pail. Tile trail has been MuzeJ.
I XI'.VIK IX) THE FAH.MF.H.
A clandestine movement to secure
a reduction of freight rates on wheat
is now being prosucuted by a number
.of professional agitators In this and
adjoining counties. The East Oregon
lan welcomes and rejoices In all hon
est and legitimate movements to re
duce wheat rates, but there is a right
way to get such reductions.
The plan mentioned Is being work
ed out on the quiet and Is unjust both
to the railroads and to the shippers.
The plan Is this: The agitator, G. W.
Gaines, who was In this city several
weeks ago, secures signatures of the
farmers to a pledge, promising to pay
him one-half of any wheat rate re
duction which may be made as a re
suit of his agitation.
He then takes up the rate question
with the railroad commission and
whether the rate Is reduced voluntar
ily by the railroads or as a result of
his agitation, he is to receive In cash,
for his alleged "services" one-half of
the sayings effected by such rate re
duction. He thus enters the field as a pro
fessional agitator and not as a sincere
friend of the farmer. He causes the
farmer to sign an Iron-clad contract
promising him one-half of the freight
rate reduction enjoyed by them,
whether he secures the reduction or
not. He thus takes something for
nothing under his clandestine scheme
to "get even" on the railroad . companies.
If Gaines and his co-workers were
sincere and were friends of the farm
ers they would take up the freight
rate question with the railroad com
mission In the open, without an Iron
clad contract signed by the farmers.
If rates are unjust the farmers can
secure relief by presenting their case
to the railroad commission and this
effort of the walking delegate and
nrofessional agitator should not be
patronized by farmers.
It Is a 'worse graft than the exces
sive freight rates. The contract being
signed by the farmers binds them to
pay the agitator whether he performs
the service or not. What worse graft
can be imagined? He Is simply tak
ing your money, that is all. He need
not perform any service whatever,
under the terms of his clandestine
contract.
No wonder he wishes to "keep it
quiet"
The farmers should beware the
professional agitator. He is worse
than the excessive freight rate.
The agitator has taken advantage
of the fact that railroad rate reduc
tions are In the air, to start a move
ment for personal gain. He expects to
reap a large reward through the work
of the railroad commission, for he
pledges you to pay him, whether he
performs the service or not. He does
not give you an even chance, but
t.ikes all the advantage.
If you want freight rate reduction
you can secure It through the railroad
commission. The state of Oregon Is
paying the commission for this service
and there is no need for the farmer
to be grafted by the professional agi
tator, who is working solely for per
sonal gains.
Turn down the proposition and
present your grievance directly to the
railroad commission. You will get re
lief there without signing away all the
benefits you receive. If you are to
give up to this agitator, all the re
duction In rate which you enjoy you
might as well let the railroad com
pany keep It.

world. '
OHST1XATF. AMllilCII.
Stubbornness Is not statesmanship,
though Senator Aldiich may think so,
for he seems determined to Jam down
the throat of the protesting public
and objecting house his futile and
ratchwotk currency bill.
Few measures proposed In con
gress within recent years have housed
more determined opposition from
merchants, bankers, business men and
commercial bogles than this same Al
drlch bill.
The one thing about the conduct of
the senator from Rhode Island to
commend Itself to the public Is that
by stubbornly substituting his own bill
he has effectually sidetracked the
Vreeland bill, a measure scarcely less
obnoxious than. his own. For that
doubtful and not Intentional virtue,
thanks to Aldrlch.
The La Grande correspondent of
the Oregon Daily Journal says that
practically all of the farmers of
Union county are for Chamberlain.
Union county is a strongly republican
county and gave H. M. Cake a hand
some majority In the primaries and
will give him like support in the gen
eral election. The correspondent per
haps talked with one enthusiastic
Chamberlain man and was so filled
with his eloquence that he Imagined
that the entire county Is for Chamber
Iain. There is no reason for a soli
tary republican voting for Governor
Chamberlain.
Clyde B. Altchison, the republican
nominee for railroad commissioner
for the easetrn Oregon district. Is the
rate expert and statistician of the
commission and to his tireless Inves
tigation of rate schedules Is due the
important reduction In eastern Oregon
rates. The people of eastern Oregon
will exercise excellent Judgment if
they elect Mr. Altchison to succeed
himself. He Is an expert in his line
and his services are worth dollars and
cents to the people of eastern Oregon.

WOLVES IX MICHIGAN.
Estimates by the Federal Biological
Survey to the effect that there are
perhaps 200 timber wolves In Upper
Michigan are declared by woodsmen to
be far under the mark.
There are 15 counties In the penin
sula and there are wolves in every one
of them, particularly In the great
stretches of wlldernes with which the
region abounds. Probably as many as
BOO wolves have been killed the last
year It Is figured; still there appears
to be as many of the animals in the
woods now as 12 months ago.
The Luce County Board recently
approved the payment of bounties on
20 wolves, amounting at 30 a head to
$900, and In Dickinson county bounties
were paid on 17 wolves and 19 wild
cats. Detroit Free Press.

THE UMATILLA RAISIN BELT.
The agricultural experts who visit
ed Umatilla county last week on the
O. R. & N. farming demonstration
train, declared that the west end of
Umatilla county, that vast belt of
sandy loam which Is being brought
under Irrigation, Is destined to be one
of the most famous raisin and grape
belts of the United States.
The long season of sunshine, the
warm climate, low altitude, abund
ance of water and warm, sandy soil
are all necessary elements for a grape
district and all of these are to be
found in abundance in the country
surrounding Hermlston and Echo.
Sweet grapes are principally stored
sunshine, and with more days of sun
shine than Los Angeles has, western
Umatilla county should excel Los An
geles, San Diego, Fresno or any other
of the famed grape districts of the
Pacific coast.
It will be no mistake to plant vine
yards at Hermiaton oh the tip from
the expert. It will be no mistake to

The Knock-out Blow.
The blow which knockoi out Corbetl
was a revelation to- the prize fighters.
From the earliest days of the ring the
knock-out blow was aimed for the jaw,
the temple or the jugular vein. Stomach
punches were thrown In to worry and
weary the fighter, but If a scientific man
had told one of the old fighters that th
most vulnerable spot was tho region of
the stomach, he'd have lauirhod at blm
for an Ignoramus. Dr. Pierce is bringing
hoae to the public a parallel fact; that
thq sVmacVIs the most vulnerable organ
out ofhe pfto ring as well as in It. We
