HE WOX THE PRIZE.
In several papers In various parts
of the state articles have appeared ,
lately in which it Is set forth that
cer;.'.;n statement No. 1 members of
the legislature will vote for Cham-land
ber'uin for senator, but that they will -
do so against their wishes and with a
sense of martyrdom.
This is alright It is creditable that
the statement members are going to
keep their pledges like men. But
alter all they will be merely show
ing common honesty nnd they will
not necessarily be entitled to seats In
heaven because they perform a plain
duty.
When a man or a horse, goes upon
the track and wins a race upon his
merits he is entitled to the prize. He
Is given the same as a matter of form
and the people do not regard the
Judg.-s as especial models of virtue
because they award the honor to tlr?
righteous winner.
The race betwen Chamberlain and j
Cake for the senalorship was an open
contest. All the conditions were
Itrmvn before th" "'art "nd tin
the-- the contestants were agreed,
f'haniberlain's victory was complete
and th- enatoriil tog-.i Is rightfully
lis.
Common fair play demands thai
ti.e governor be elected senator and
C" : .-houl 1 be no quibbling about It.
The statement No. 1 men pledged
th '""'"(! ves to vote for him if he won
In the state election and he did. These
men constitute a majority of the leg
Mature and this being the case there
a nothing further to It.
Evrr since the election the foes of
the popular election of senators have
been ransacking the catalogue of ex
cuses In order to find a reasonable
pieti-xt upon whii-h weak-kneed state
ment members, if there are any,
mlifht refuse to vote for (governor
Chamberlain for senator. But they
have not found any and they cannot.
The statement No. 1 legislator who
n fa-es to vole for the governor, no
i.ir.trer what his excuse may be, will
be doit:- ;i r-r-iok'-l act arid all the
people of Oit-y". will kiriw It. Any
one v-ho a'-ks a. statement No. 1 man
to break his pledge Is himself dis
1 i m.o fur he ' :-;-!t- be a party
to a dlionet de.J,
a si'Li-:mii showing.
Some people do not know It, but I:
I H fact that the attendance at the
diftriet fair this year has b-en much
better than ever before.
Hy the cold figures, In thf box of
f.ce It Is shown that on the opening
day the attendance was 40 per cent
greater than on the same day hint
year. For yesterday and the day be
fore the attendance was about 311
per cent greater than for the corres
poiullns days n year ago.
This Is a fine showing for two dull,
dry counjles to make. It Is an es
pecially creditable shosvlng for Pen
dleton, Iwiiuxe the town Is now sup
posed' to be "dead."
Put the fair deserves the Increase 1
patronage. It Is a better fair than
has ever been held before. The pa
vilion Is larger and more rotiveii
iintly arranged; the exhibits are bet
ter and the program likewise shows
Improvement.
The people who attend the fair are
showliifr good Judgment and if there
are some who have not yet pmie they
should speedily follow the example.
.TAX JAXOFF 1DI IIKX.
The plight of Jan Janoff Pouren, a
Russian refugee now held In tlv?
Tombs prison. New York, awaiting
the outcome of extradition proceed
ings, has brought his Americanized
countrymen to his defense.
In order to prevent the return of
Pouren' to Rusla, where It Is rep
resented a horrible death awaits him.
the Russian Jews of New York are
appealing to the president and public
opinion In this country.
"Little celebrity attaches to this
case," say Pouren's compatriots. "The
defendant Is a man of no marked
personality, and his alleged acts fail
to distinguish him among numerous
other refugees from the Russian pro
vinces. But that very obscurity sug
gests the gravity of the situation. His
mediocrity shows that the case Is
brought as a test, and his parity with
others Indicates that efforts will be
made to give the precedent thus form
cO a wholesale application. 5o firm-
I ! does the bureaueraov now hold
Russia In its clutches that It has a
tentacle free to reach out over seas
after fugitives abroad. Having In
duced us to violate the honor of 13:'
yars by betraying this confidence. It
will claim a right to drag aa Indefi
nite number of Its exiled subjects
Irom our asylum."
As to the merits of this particular
case the president must decide. But
If they are as his Americanized coun
trymen claim, It would be a burning
shame to send Pouren back to Rus
sia. Political conditions In that despot-rldd'-n
country are black as hell, ac
cording to undisputed authority.
xne mPre reading about them Is suf-
fluent to make one's blood boil. Men
who dare to Incur tiie displeasure of
the police are thrown into dirty Jails
treated to Inhuman cruelties, j
surely there Is some place of refuge
for these poor wretches and where
can suh be found If not under the
Stars and Stripes?
THERE'S A REMEDY.
Eecause the East Oregonian pub
lished an interview yesterday In which
Dr. Smith blamed the city water sup
ply for much of the typhoid now pre
vailing It has been accused by some
short-sighted people of knocking th
town.
But a town does not grow and
prosper by ignoring or blinking at It
remedial defects. The way to do is
to courageously meet them face to
face and then set about to correct the
evil with all speed poKisblc.
That the present water s upply is
not adequate for the n-nl-'of the'
town everybody knows. If the (U.'il- I
ity of water H not what it should be
the people should know that also. Tin i
water commissioners should know It.
If they do not. and the knowledge
should strengthen them In their re-
solve to provide a gravity water sys-
tern.
Pendleton was glad to have the
first convocation of the new Episco
pal district of eastern Oregon. II
trusts that the bishop and the rectors
who were here enjoyed their stay and
found the meetings full of profit.
The grand jury Is still at work and
late results show that there were sev
eral kinds of fish within the "net."

It's all very well to hear and to heed
The words of a friend, who may be
friend Indeed;
The advice he may give may be Just
what you need!
To help you to reap what you've
sown.
Though it pleases you not though
you deem it unwise,
Advice that's well meant you should
never despise.
Rut it's safest and surest to guard
surprise,
To have n few thouglits; of your
own.
Others far wiser, more learned than
you.
May know Just what's right, what best
you should do,
Their Judgment be sound, their coun

With no taint of gain or of pelf;
Rut on life's Journey you'll find It
worth while
Whether sorrow your lot or good for

To trust your own strength to pet

To do the real thinking yourself.

In the dim and long ago
Bravely didst thou fire the foe
Rre thou wert a king.
Now thou battiest with a throw;
Ten thou hadst a sling.
'Gainst the Giants of today

Few the sllngers who can slay
As thou slew Goliath.
II. ROME.
Lat"r,on the bloody sands.
With a short sword In thy hands.
As a gladiator.
Fought thou beasts from foreign
lands.
For the cruel spectator.
Still the Tigers fiercely play;
Art thou still their foeman?
Canst thou humble them today
As before the Roman?

Ancient armor falls to rust;
Lances lose their luster;
And thy game, the savage Joust,
Hath become a Juster.
