Not vague unconscious airs

If consciousness be aught
Of all It seems to be
And souls are something more

Though dark the roai that leads

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.

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.

Rheumatism is caused by an excess of urio aci-1 in the blooil, which is
carried through the circulation to all portions of the system. livery muscle,
nerve, bone and joint absorbs the acrid. ain fir...liKir. ;ioison. causing
aches, inflammation, stiffness and other well known symptoms of the disease.
Permanent relief from the pains and discomfort of Khumiatisin cannot b
expected from the use of liniments, plasters, r.nd other external treatment
which does not reach the Mood, where the cat! -e is lo-tf.-d. Such measures
give temporary relief, but in order to cure kin-mi l'.iv.n the uric acid and
inflammatory poison must be expelled from the blood. S. S. S. cures
Rheumatism because it is a perfect blood pv.rit":-r. It -es down into the
circulation, neutralizes the uric acid and drives it from the Mood. S. S. S.
expels the irritating, inflammatory matter which is cr.minj the pain, swell

cures Rheumatism. In all forms of Rheumatism, whether acute or chronic,
S. S. S. will be found a safe, vegetable remedy, possessing the properties
