Every right of way deed filed west and south of Freewater by the Walla Walla Traction company or any othe electric line company, is a cause for rejoicing In Pendleton. The 1 deeds filed yesterday after non prove beyond any doubt that vilhin a short time this city will be connected with the east end of the county by an electric line. Then will srome that same high development a-iich has marked the progress of the electr'ic line through the Walla Walla valley. The route of the line will be one continual farm and orchard. Land values will go beyond the fondest dreams of the owners and the vanish--ul settlements, drawn out of Umatilla connty by the lure of Alberta will be n?j.lced four and five fold. Pendleton should now be engaged in securing right of way toward AUiena in order to make sure that the line -j ill be built. The line should not :r allowed to stop at Athena over light, but work should be continued vigorously toward this city. Iteally this Is the greatest piomiso it the livst r.vo or three year. Eiec '.ric Hues from the east and from the aorth will make Pendleton a city of li.fi f!f to 20.000 population in a few yva rs. THE HOIJsE ItEFOKE THE CART! ljurir.g that period of Oregon's his tory in which the political machine of Portland dictated policies, nominated tickets, selected appointees a,nd other wise ruVs the state government, the jul.t.CMl (. '.It of the state was ahea 1 of llu- horse. The machine led the people and tjosst-d the people an 1 dictated to the jow, under the- direct primary law, the initiativ- and referendum and the popular election of United .States sen izors, the horse is ahead of the cart. The people are at the post of honor, the lead. The machine, or what ever Is left of it, is taking Its subordi nate and rightful position far In the rear. There are those who cannot become accustomed to the new condition. Thu Pendleton Tribune and T. T. Oeer are .among those who cannot become reconciled to the people's rule. They ?sire the old way, the cart-before-Lhe-horse method, the "public be damned" method of running the state government. And in every way pos sible, the Tribune ridicules the peo p and belittles them and misrepre sents thern, because tney have seen fit to express themselves emphatically and unquestionably upon certain 1m iortant lMues in the state. If the people express their wishes, II they have their choice, If they de cide their own questions In their own way, what Is It to the politicians? What right has the machine got to . question the people's choice. Legislators are simply agents of the people. The people of the state are immeasurably bigger than the leglsla- . tare and it Is perfectly right and prop .1) NioaTjig CkBt L rand necessary that the legislature should do the people's bidding, and it l nat.i to av that but few legislator who will not do the people's bidding, will fill a place In future legislatures of Oregon, In spite of the sneers of such opponents of the people ns the 'i i llume has always been. Oregon has simply placed the horse before the cart. Now let the cart "cuss- If It feel like It. What is it going to do about It? RAILROAD AND RIVER. It Is frequently asserted, and with excellent foundation, that the Prus- ian system of Inland waterway Im provements a work in which no sec tion of the country Is so vitally Inter ested as the great northwest Is the bit and the most comprehensive In nil Europe, but the Inland waterway system of France Is, none the less, a n.ost admirable object lesson. That France should enter on the expendi ture of more than one billion of dollars on Inland waterway improvement is not surprising. The French are the most economi cal, and the richest of all peoples of Europe. They saw In the Improved waterway a means of communication between producer and consumer at once cheap, safe and continuous, and they appreciated the fact that the hos tility between river and rail was a hostility without substantial basis. Imbued with the soundness of that view the committee, of the French senate, having the question before !t, thus reported to the senate In 1903: "It Is futile to deny that traction U kss costly by water than by rail and . here transportation by water and by .all are both available they comple ment and complete each other, the one transporting heavy materials, the low cc st of w hich is an indlspenslblc con dition to the vitality of industries which aliment. In their turn, the traf fic of the railway." The report, concurred In by both branches of the legislative body of the French republic, resulted In the perfecting of the system of improve ment of the artificial and the natural inland waterways of France and every branch of trade and commerce Is feel ing the Inestimable benefit of the wis dom of the French legislative body In the completion of a system which is now a part of the fixed policy of the government of the country. Of the traffic on the French water ways the latest available figures show that while It reached 32.438,701 tons in 1905, It Increased to 33,977.340 tons In 1906. Coal was carried by water from Cette to Toulouse at 77 cents per ton, while the railway charges between the same points was 84 cents. The rate for wheat, on the Rhone between Lyons and Marseilles, In 1906 was $1.03 per ton, while by rail between the same points, approximately the same distance, it was J2.6S per ton. Great though the difference In rates. between the two modes of transpor tation in France unquestionably is,' the difference In the United States Is stiil greater with the difficulty, in this county, that the dlferetice applies enly to the section enjoying the bene fit of an Improved ' waterway and they are few while France reaps the benefit of an Inland waterway system rf improvements, such as the Nation al Rivers and Harbors Congress ad vocates, based on a fixed policy on e'efinite lines, with annual appropri ations sufficient ' for the work and with the work continuously prosecut ed. There is no reason why every sec tion of the United States should not enjoy the benefits of such a system. Certainly no section would profit by the system as the great northwest would profit by it. France is Illustrating the immeasur able benefits coming from the adop tion and the enforcement, of an en lightened and definite system with river and rail supplementing and ccrnpleting each other as means of transportation without hostility be tween them, but with both sharing In the benefits that come to every Inter est in the entire country. OREGON'S PRISON PAPER. The East Oregonlan enjoys each month the visit of "Lend a Hand," a monthly publication Issued by the convicts of the Oregon state peniten tiary. This little magazine is one or the most attractive and interesting that comes to the East Oregonian's desk, not for its literary standards, nor for the morbid curiosity which a prison paper may excite, but for the cheerful spirit of optimism and hope fulness, the spirit of higher Ideals and nobler sentiments, which per vade Its columns. Every sentence breathes a hope that the convict may become a better man; every page pleads with the public to give him a chance to live right; every thought pleads for charity and toler ance and good will toward the unfor tunates who, through passion, weak ness, heredity or hatred have become outcast.

Finch, San Francisco, i PROBLEM OF THE INDIVIDUAL. The problem of the Individual Is to develop himself for the good of the Whole. What good does It do me to be well cultured, well dressed, well housed, with a beautiful garden about mo, if my neighbors tear up my flow ers, throw mud and rocks at my house an! my clothes, and meet my high and mighty mental stores with ribald ry? Of myself I can do nothing, bo nothing. Only by spreading my cul ture and my prosperity to those about me can I by any possible chance be allowed to enjoy them. I and others like me can bund ourselves as a com munity and teach others to appreciate and emulate what we appreciate. The Incorrigible!! we can compel to let us alone. Only by combining for the best good of all can we save ourselves or our possessions from destruction by those who don't yet know enough to appre ciate or combine. This means that Individual rights and state lights are merely lights to serve the whole. It means progress through combi nation. It means salvation throtujh combi nation. It means that Individual selfishness and state selfishness eventuate alike in self-destruction for the good of the Whole. Elizabeth Towna In July Nautilus. Ionellnesi.
