T. Palgrave In "The P.eign of Law." THE SPIRIT OF CITIES. Pendleton, compared to other east ern Oregon cities. Is a matchless ex ample of human activity and industry. While older and more favored cities and towns, not a thousand miles distant, have simply died of senile de cay and dry rot, Pendleton's splendid type of business men has kept the warm life blood flowing constantly through every vein and artery of the city and community. It is possible for one or two non progressive men to crush the com mercial and Industrial life out of an entire community by their selfish and tyrannical methods of 'business, and while It is a shame to send such men tf worry the devil. It is much better for a community that they pass away quickly and peaceably. There is no place on top of the earth for such men. Eut fortunately, when the census of Pendleton Is taken, there la not one man to spare not one who does not fill a place and perform a valuable labor for the city. The spirit of the ; city is superb. The business atmos- phere 1." clean and pure. The co- I operation and unity of the various i diversified interests, are perfect. To this excellent spirit Pendleton owe- her place at the fiead of the list, and her grasp on this high place among the cities of the inland em pire will be .strengthened by this spirit. It I" charged against several "dead" towns of eastern Oregon that one or two or haif a dozen selfish men are wholly responsible for the low ebb of the i '.)-) yp r,f th'se towns. Their "rule or ruin" policy has assas sinated the public Hplrlt and left all its veins empty of the rich, red blood of municipal pride and activity. Not so with Pendleton. Every Pendletonian Is needed at his post. Every ore Is bending to the oar. That U the " cret of Pendleton's fame and wealth .'ind popularity! TtHEi:ClISIS A MENACE THE IMIKV. TO A clipping in this issue from a Pendleton paper says that pure milk Is the recently adopted slogan of that town. It is a very appropriate slo gan and one that is being adopted by several towns and cities in the north west ami that bids fair to be. general ly taken up In the near future, says the Rural ,pirit. Milk consumers and those familiar with dairy condi tions in the average dairies around our towns and cities as well as throughout the country must admit that there Is room for much Improve ment An awakening populace demands more attention 'to sanitation ln handl ing the dairy and Its products to the end that the health of the public may be more carefully safeguarded. The difficulty with that as with all such reform movements Is that an aroused public Is apt to go from one extreme to the other. If people get the idea Into their heads that bovine tuberculosis is readily transmissible from the cow to the human through the medium of the cow's milk and that the only remedy Is the total ex termination of every cow that reacts to the tuberculosis test, much trouble and unnecessary lose to the Industry will occur through the promiscuous slaughter of herds that are far from being rendered valueless by a few of their memberi reacting. There Is no use evading the fact that bovine tuberculoma la very prev alent and rapidly increasing In'thlJ !ute and that it Is the greatest men ace, not only to the Oregon JUryman. but to the whole cattle industry. Science I not yet well satisfied a to whether bovine tuberculosis la .r.i:.mi.-j-ilMe to iac hu.n.in. L'pon this point the most eminent authori- i:'Kr"- prionali5r we are of the opinion that there Is very little dancer of human b.-:n? contracting 1 tuberculosis through the use of the milk from tubercular cows. The j fact that statistics show that tuber ! culosis has Increase 1 rapidly the last few years among the dairy hf-rJs sup : rb'lng our eastern cities with milk, I while It has materially decreased i i among the consumers of that milk. . would seem almost conclusive evi- denee on this point, j While we believe that tuberculosis is the greatest menace to the dairy ! nan. we believe the public has more to fear from such troubles as dysen tery and typhoid, through unsanitary ' conditions In the dairy, than It has from tuberculosis. For the good of the public health as well as the dairy Industry It Is well that public senti ment Is being aroused, but their ac tions should be sruirded and Intelli gently directed. We have some very good dairy laws, but others are need ei. We have through the northwest j some good dairy officers, but not enough of them. The dairy Industry j has made wonderful growth In this I part of the country the past few I years and It Is now larger than th provisions for taking care of It. To properly Inspect the dairies and en force the laws we have and others that may be passed, a stronger offi cial force Is needed. The office of food and dairy commissioner should be made Into two offices and the dairy commissioner should have enough deputies to properly cover the field, with a state appropriation am ple for their maintenance. The leading Industry of the state that produces so much wealth annu ally and Its products enter more largely into the daily menu of all classes of our population than the products of any other one Industry is entitled to every needed support. It is mistaken economy to stint it Without any undue publicity or ex-' cltement the eradication of tubercu losis from the herds of the state .should be taken up systematically and with determination. A law to pre vent the Importation into the state of uninspected cattle Is needed and through the efforts of our state and federal officers and the Oregon Pure Bred Livestock association an effic ient law of this kind will, without doubt, be passed at the nxt session rf the state legislature Annual In spection of our dairy and breeding herds by experienced and competent veterinarians should be Inaugurated, but the ruthless slaughter of all sus pects Is, we think, a faiacious policy. Prompt, decisive an i united action will in a very f w y -ars stamp this disease out of our herds. The oppo site course would in ime mean the destruction of the ja!ry and beef in dustry. THE ItAII.ItOAI) THKEAT. Intensely significant to the Ameri can public Is that notice served by the railroad companies that all the big transcontinental systems will aban don the export business after No vember 1, 1908. This Is a part of the railroad plan to thwart the Interstate commerce commission and humiliate the Ameri can people. It Is to thwart the Interstate com merce commission because the sys tems say they will abandon the ex port business rather than make pub lic their overland rates to foreign ports as required by the commission. And It Is to humiliate the American public which Is strongly demanding railroad regulation, because It l highly probable that all the steam ship lines of the railroad systems will be sold to Japanese companies, there, by making the little brown rival of the United States, the commercial master of the Pacific ocean.

Uv;,.- 7 Look for the Signa ture of TOASTS C0RH road companies is a two-edged sword, one edge defying the regulating pow er of the government, the other de livering the Pacific coast carrying trade Into the hands of the enemy! And it all resolves itself into this conclusion, to-wit: The quicker the United States government becomes the owner and operator of its entire railroad industry, the better It will be for the people. As long as there is private owner ship of railroads there will be a per petual clash over the question of government regulation. As long as there Is private' ownership there will b- favoritism, discrimination, bitter rivalries and Injustice. Government ownership will dd away with these and will make the railroad system, like the postoffice system, the absolute servant of the people. Let us put prejudice and politics aside and get down deep Into the social and economic ethics of this great problem and settle it on Its ' merit, once for all.

Twenty-one proprietors of stamt selling Sunday newspapers, etc., were arrested at Topeka, Kan., last Satur day afternoon charged with violating the Sunday labor law in selling news paper on the previous Sunday. Theatrical managers whose houses had been closed swore to the com plaints in retaliation. The city council of Topeka, how ever, declared sales of Ice cream, ci gars and eoda water before 9 o'clock on Sundays were not violations of law. The Fourth Estate.
