And lifts a mirthful roundelay,
However poor his fortunes be,
He will not fail in any qualm
Of poverty the paltry dime
It will grow golden in his palm

Of honey in the saltest tear,
And, thoush he fares with slow

And he shall reign a goodly

And sway his hand o'er every

With peace writ on his signet

LAWS TO VOTE FOR.
The East Oregonian Is pleased to
see the bar association of Umatilla
county go on record in favor of two
meritorious measures which are to be
voted upon by the people next Mon
day, to-wit: the bill adding two mem
bers to the supreme court and revising
the county court system of the state,
and the bill appropriating money for
the support and enlargement of the
University of Oregon.
Thesf two measures are especially
.meritorious and should be passed by
a large vote, but there are many
other important measures on the of
ficial ballot and the voters are urged
to use every care in exercising their
legislative power.
In the selfish worcfare between the
rival fishermen of the upper and low
ei Columbia river, In which both fac
t;ons are seeking to control the sal
mon industry of the state, voters are
urged to vote "no" on No. 319 and
333.
On the law proposed by the liquor
Interests by which they may secure
control of city governments and set
aside the criminal laws of the state,
taxpayers are urged to vote "no."
This law Is a most vicious attempt to
wrest city governments from the pro
tection of the state laws and voters
are urgently requested to vote "no"
cn No. 321.
Keep your hands off the question of
the division of Wasco county and the
creation of Hood River county. Let
each county settle Its own difficul
ties and local Issues and vote "no" .on
No. 337.
The law making power delegated to
the people of Oregon through the ini
tiative and referendum amendment to
the constitution Is not new and the
people have made no mistakes through
its use as yet, and the East Oregonian
is willing to trust the people at all
times. They will vote right and do
right. So whatever the result of tha
election next Monday, this paper will
be satisfied. The result will be on
expression of the will of the peopl9
and the people are the genuine law
making power of the state.
If you have any doubt as to the
merit of .a bill, be on the safe side
and vote "no." Better err on the
side of safety. Better kill a good law
than enact a bad one, every time.
There are 13 measures on the bal
lot and many voters will not go half
way down the list. Many of the pro
posed laws will receive but few votes,
simply because the voters are not in
terested and do not understand the
merits of the laws.
Beginning at the head of the list
of laws on the ballot, voters are urg
ed to vote "yes" for the following:
Permitting state Institutions to be
located away from the state capital,
vote "yes" No. 302.
For equal suffrage, No. 318, "yes."
For the enactment of statement" No.
1. No. 326, "yes."
To add two supreme Judges, and re
vine county and probate court system,
No 304, "yes."
To change date of state elections to
correspond with presidential elec
tions, No. 306, "yes."
In support of the national guard
and for. the erection of armories
throughout the state, No. 312, "yes."
To appropriate money for University
of Oregon, No. 314, "yes."
To limit and make public all elec
tion expenses of candidates, No. 330,
"yes."
Restricting the power of indict
ments to grand Juries and taking that
power from district attorneys, No.
334, "yes."
There are a number of laws which
should receive the disapproval of the
voters and especially the taxpayers of
the state and to these laws the East
Oregonian also desires to call special
attention.
The following measures on the of
ficial ballot are highly objectionable
and should be voted down:
An act requiring railroads to Issue
free passes to officials. No. 311, vote
"no.".. ...
A WORD FOR THE WORKERS.
The present postofflce regulations
by which the poatofflces are opened
at 8 o'clock In the morning and clos
ed at 6 In the evening, work a
hardship on laboring men who get
their mall at the general delivery and
the government should change the
hours to accommodate these people.
The laborer must go to work In
the morning before the office opens
and he cannot reach the office In the
evening before It closes and so Is de
nied one of the commonest privileges
and enjoyments given to American
citizens.
It seems that two shifts should be
worked at postoffices. The govern
ment alms to accommodate the peo
ple. The postlffice Is not a private
business and Its regulations should
not prevent one humble citizen his
fullest rights and privileges.
The government Is. paying out an
enormous sum annually for the sup
port of the poittoffices of the country,
and It seems that every effort should
be made to secure the better .results

CATARRH.
WILL UMATILLA GO "DRY."
Both sides of the liquor question
have been thoroughly threshed out in
Umatilla county during the past
month. Every phase of the issue has
been brought out and every merit and
demerit has been given great public
ity. To many it would seem an Impossi-
t ility that Umatilla county, a county !
which has had saloons since it was
first organized, should go "dry," but
to those who have observed the ten
dency closely, it seems quite probable
that the county will be as "dry" as a
bone after election.
The East Oregonian has given the
matter some thought and Investiga
tion and during the past week has
been in touch with conservative men
in every part of the county, and from
the observations made. It Is safe to
predict that the county will be car
ried by the prohibitionists by a ma
jority of from 250 to 400. This is
only a guess, but It Is made after con
siderable personal Investigation.
Of course, men do hot always vote
as they say they will, but the prohi
bition si-ntiment Is wide spread, de
termined and pronounced and is not
confined to the regular temperance
agitators. It is most noticeable among
the substantial class of farmers and
stockmen who are usually either non
committal or against any Interference
with the alleged "personal liberty" of
drinkers.
It Is almost certain that Pilot Rock
precinct will go dry- Birch creek
farmers are for prohibition almost to
a man. Hermlston and a large part
of the Echo precinct will be for pro
hibition although that precinct may
not carry as a whole. Helix will be
dry by a large majority, it Is predict
ed, and Adams is now conceded to be
prohibitionist by saloonmen, them
selves.
Athena and Weston are strongly
arrayed against the liquor business
and every country precinct In the
county Is agitated on the question.
Pendleton is the stronghold of the
saloon In the county and every effort
Is being made In this city to save the
county, but It is freely predicted by
conservative men that the outside
precincts will overwhelm Pendleton's
wet vote.

for the people for this expenditure of
their money.
H. M. Cake will carry Umatilla
county and he will be elected senator
of Oregon by a handsome majority.
Oregon Is a republican state and Is
not going to "switch" Into the demo
cratic rank now. Mr. Cake Is entitled
to every republican vote in the state
and Governor Chamberlain Is entitled
to every democratic vote and that Is
what the result will bo, it Is hoped.
If you want an armory In Pendle
ton, vote for the armory bill and give
the militia boys the hearty support
they deserve. Vote "yes" on No. 313.
Remember the University of Ore
gon and vote "yes" on No. 314, when
you go Into the voting booth next
Monday morning.
After we settle It In Oregon, then
the United States will engage In a real
election contest.
Everybody will be glad when It Is
THE REASON WHY.
The sentiment In favor of a local
option law In this state Is not due so
much to the fact that the people have
it in for whiskey as to the fact that
the retail liquor business has not been
conducted with proper regard for the
law. ;
The public Is long suffering and
slow to act. It witnesses and permits
violation of some of the laws without
protesf, and many people assume that
it Isn't In favor of law enforcement.
That almost always proves to be a
mistake. The Indulgent public Is
never satisfied with disregard of the
law. In the west things are allowed
to go "wide-open" because It's too
much trouble to close them; but In
due course of time the trouble will be
taken, and probably a few extra licks
will be struck In order to get even.
In all probability had the laws of
the state always been obeyed to the
letter by saloon men there would not
now be any demand for a local option
law. Taklma Republic. .
