AGE AND YOIT1I.
Youth takes its joys from hope-
ful dreams
Of future prizes to be won,
Of voyages on unknown streams
In realms beyond the rising
sun.
But Age. reflective Age, delights
E'en in the twilight's dy;ng
rays
In turning to the joyous sights
Of unforgotten Yesterdays.
I know not which more joy im-
parts,
which hath the sweeter taste,
the page
That tells of Hope in youthful
hearts,
Or tender memories of age.
John Kendrick Bangs.
MURPHY IS NEEDED.
At this time it is absolutely essen- )
tial to the welfare of Pendleton that !
this city select as mayor a man who !
is surrounded by and influenced by
men of the proeressive type. Fur- 1
thermore the man who is chosen as j
mayor should be a "known quantity."
In other words the people sho.uld I

tem and how he stands with refer
ence to the entrance into this xity of
new electrical companies and traction
companies. This is a critical time In
the history of this little city and peo- j
pie cannot afford to act in the dark.
It would be rank folly to do so.
How .Mayor Murphy stands uPn
these things is well known. Not only

Interest he is a "progressive." He Is
an active local business man and he
Has cons;aeraoie property interests, i
He wants to see Pendleton grow and
prosper and is willing to do his part
te make it grow and prosper. He Is
aligned with no interests that will In
terfere with his duty to the public.
This has been shown on more than
one occasion. It was shown over a
year ago when he and the council
gTanted a franchise to the 'Washington-Oregon
traction company. Had
he taken advice from certain quarters
that franchise would have been re
fused and Pendleton would now not
have the enviable prospect of having
a traction system established with this
city as the base and chief beneficiary
from that system.
As to Mayor Murphy's opponent in
the race this paper desires to say but
little except that it does not dike tht
Influence by which he is surrounded.
His principal backers are men who re
present corporations that have Inter
ests In conflict with the present in
terests of this city. That line-up Is
well known. In the event of Dr.
Swinburne's election that Influence
might be used with serious Tesults to
Pendleton. Be that as it may this
city cannot afford to take chances.
There is no need of taking chances.
Re-elect Mayor Murphy and make
sure that you have the mayor's chair
filled by one who stands for the pro
gress of Pendleton.
BALLING ER'S REPORT.
The position of secretary of the in
terior is one of tremendous Import
ance and responsibility. This Is es
pecially true just at this time and
w!tB respects to the west. Accord
ingly the report of Secretary Ballinger,
part of which was published In this
paper yesterday makes a document of
decided interest. Especially Is that a
fact since It is claimed the president
li back of at least some of the sug
gestions made by the secretary.
The suggestion for a bond Issue to
raise money with which to complete
existing Irrigation projects seems
proper. However Oregon would be
-very well satisfied could It but have
its regular apportionment from the
reclamation fund. We would then
have stveral millions available for fur
ther work and that might be aufflol
cnt to answer present needs. In this
section at present people are not so
much Interested in changes In the
reclamation act or in bond Issues aa
thev are in getting the government to
extend the Umatilla project by the ex
penditure of money already due this
slate.
One of the most important parts
of Secretary Ballinger's report is that
wherein he recommends governmental
control of water powers. Here tht
hand of President Talt seems clearly
visible. It is recommended that the
general government retain the land
adjoining power sites; that easement."
be granted corporations desiring to
develop power; that 30 years be tht
maximum time for which such privi
leges may be granted: that the con
struction work must be carried on
within a specified time and that the
cc rporation or individual doing the
work must pay a moderate charge to
the government or upon the gross
earnings during the first 10 years of-
op-ration, "adjusted at each subse
quent 10 year period and equitably
determined by appraisement."
That tfte government should have
s me such hold as this upon the
water powers all economists will
agree. The government was slothful
in not taking such action many years
ago. The natural resources of the
country should be utilized for the
benefit of all the people. They should
mit be monopolized by a few.
It will be interesting to watch what
congress will do towards enacting
proper legislation upon this subject
During the coming .session President
Tuft will have a splendid opportunity
to use his influence with " the law
makers.
MOKE ABOUT POWER.
The East Oregonian has previously
primed out the great importance o
electrical power in the upbuilding of
a city. It is an indispensable element.
Without adequate power Pendleton
cr.nnot well become much more than
it. is at present a big country town.
With plenty of electrical power this
may be made into a manufacturing
center for we already have the othei
essentials.
With a sufficient amount of power
Pendleton may al-o be provided with
trattiun facilities that will insure the
1 1 ai hi.

'traction lines into the irrigated "Strs-
't ens to the west; to Grant county on
i
the south and to the rich section
northeast of Pendleton the business of
'a sireat region will be insured for
Ppn,,1;t(ln and tht. future growth of
cjty maJe certain.
j f penJleton an secure the power
ltht. washinston-Oregon company pro-
to dtveop upon tne Walla Wal. j
river this city will then be very
fnvorablv situated with respects to
power. With that power and with the
w.er tn.lt may w developed upon
;he jQhn Vay river and upon tne Vma.
ti'.la this city will be given something
like 15,000 or 20.000 horse power.
That is said to be more electrical
power than is now used in the city
of Portland.
Naturally the power most desired
at this time is that which is to be de
veloped upon the Walla Walla river.
That power Is especially desirable be
cause If we do not get It It will go
elsewhere. It will be taken into the
state of Washington and utilized. On
the other hand the power of the Uma
tilla and of the John Day will "keep,"
temporarily at least. Those streams
are naturally tributary to Pendleton
and can be developed when needed.
Bishop Paddock seems a fit man
for the position which he holds for
eastern Oregon is a good field for men
of force and courage. Even those who
may not share his views upon ecclesi
astical subjects will yet admire his
high purposes and applaud the vigor
o;' his ways. "All the world stands
r.fide to let that man pass who knows
whither he is going."
The election to be held next- Mon
day i one in which every patriotic
citizen should participate. An Issue
of the greatest importance is Involved
and It will be settled correctly unless
through Indifference too many people
remain at home and do not vote.
Many have not registered for the
election. Those people must be sworn
In for their votes will be needed.
Mayor Murphy stands for Pendleton
ar.d for the advancement of this city;
his opponent is backed by interests
that would block the progress of this
city. Which one' do you want for
mayor?
There are two mayorality tickets in
the field, the Progressive and the
Pessimistic. Mayor Murphy Is the
candidate of the former element.
Pendleton has a host of former
gridiron stars and a game In which
they could participate would be worth
seeing.
If Jupiter P. will continue his good
work It may not be necessary to irri-
gate the lands west of the Umatilla.
GREETING.
"Say not good night, but in some
brighter clime
Bid me good morning.
You who so loved to watch the chang
ing sky
To follow the soft curves where
beauty led, .
You scarcely dared to claim the grace
to die,
You went your way not all un
comforted. For through the dark the winged
vision came.
Smiting the fine, tense harpstrings
of your soul,
One weary night upon a singing
flame
You passed beyond eac-h petty care's
control. - j
You did the things you did not like j
to do, , i
Made day by day the thankless
sacrifice, j
And so, dear heart, I love to think I
of you j
Deep bosomed in your restful para- j
dise.
Watching clear spaces of the hours
drift by !
To vibrant measures of some new j
delight I
And vet we pitied you that you must i
die !
And leave- your urgent day, your
broken night. j

SAINTS.
Who were the saints? A startling,
an audacious, once almost a punish
able, ejuestion; but when asked of the
laity to day, It is likely to be answer
eel with a half-pitying smile or a
frank admission of Ignorance. Yet.
happily, the words "saintliness" an 1
"saintly" can never be dispensed with
in our common daily language. And
who were the saints?
They were men and women of flesh
nnel blond, who, without celestial au
ra and crown, once trod this dusty
earth, like ourselves. They were real
people, living real lives, with real re
sult If we allow ourselves to be led
bae-k by the hanel of history, sacred
or secular, whichever we prefer, to
examine the work accomplished ov
these men and women now ca'ied
saints we shall be surprised. In our
age. so worshipful of the material and
the visible, we shall respectfully rec
