Out of the
night that covers
me,
mack as the pit from pole to
pole,
I thank whatever kods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circum
stance I have not winced nor cried
aloud;
Under the bludgeons of chance
My head is bloody, but un
bow'd. Beyond this place of wrath and
tears
Looms but the Horror of the
shade.
And yet the inesxice of the
years
Finds and shall find me un
afraid. It matters not how straight the
gate,
How charged with punish
ments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate;
I nm the captain of my soul.

MONEY Tltl'ST.
During the tilt In the United
States senate last summer Senator
Dolllver made a very caustic remark
about a lamp post. Ho intimated
that something of that sort might be
brought Into use in the event tne
centralization of wealth should pro
ceed to such an extent that one man
finally became master of the finan
cial and industrial life of the country.
At the time Senator Dolliver made
his retort It was regarded by most
people as a bit of sharp repartee.
Thev did not consider the country In
any Immediate danger of one man
rule. Yet only a few months have
elapsed since that time and already
a monev trust is announced.
"So close have become the alliance
and amalgamations of leading fin
ancial interests in Wall street during
the last three raonths that almost the
absolute control of the country's fi
nancial affairs is now centralized In
the hands of a few men who are
acting in concert." says a story from
New York. "A money trust has come
Into existence, with J. P. Morgan at
Its head, the most gigantic combina
tion of capital in the world.
"There is no concrete definite or
ganization to this latest trust; no le
gal incorporation, no elected directors,
no list of stockholders. To use the
descriptive phrase of the financial
world, it Is simply a 'community of
Interest'."
Continuing the story tells of some
of the things this great capitalistic
combination might do. It could call
two hundred million dollars of loans
over night and ruin any adversary.
It could ruin credits and cause a
money stringency any time: It could
deplete the bank reserves of New
' York, raise the rate of interest, crip
ple the operations of the government,
dictate the policy of the railway com
panies and the expansion of other In
dustrial concerns.
Truly it Is a wonderful power that
Is wielded by this money trust and
by J. P. Morgan, its head. It Is a
power that may be used for good as
well as for evil purposes. How will
It be used, will this great trust work
fcr the development and betterment
of all the country and all the people
or will the financiers work for them
selves and Wall street alone. If J.
P. Morgan Is a great statesman and
patriot .as well as the king of finan
ciers all will be well. If he is not
there is danger that Senator Dolllver's
lamp post will be needed.
THE KCNAWAY TRAIN.
Xt mariner fear a derelict bo do
railway men dread a runaway train.
. A wild train, auch as the one that
broke loose at Kamela yesterday
knows no block signals and It cannot
be reached by wire. When a wild
train starts down a mountain grade
It acts hearts a'thumplng for no one
can foretell where It will stop and
what mischief It will do. But fortu
nately the Kamela runaway (ltd not
go far and when It went Into the
ditch the few men on board escaped
without harm. It was n very fortu
nate runaway after all compared with
what It ml Rht have been. The O. R.
& N. company and Its employes are
to be congratulated.
WALLA WALLA "WET."
Walla Walla voted "wet" by a
heavv majority. This fact is dis
couraging to the people of I'mntllla j
county for the question of prohibition ;
In this county, ould be far simpler '
than at present with Walla Walla also
In the "dry" column.
The vietorv of the divekeepers In
the Garden City will also be displeas
ing to a large element of very goo.?
people now residing In Walla Walla.
There are hundreds of retired farm
ers living in that city. Many of them
made their money in 'this county and
then went to Walla Walla to live.
When Walla Walla went "wet" the
wishes of these people wre disre
garded. Now that Walla Walla has decided
to keep Its dives the course for these
retired farmers to ' pursue should be
plain. If they want to live where
they will be free from the influences
ot saloons let them come here to re-
kle. Let others who are preparing
to retire and move to town do llke-
wise. Pendleton is "dry" largely as
the result of votes cast by the farm-
ers. Therefore the conditions here j
should be ideal for those people.
Then Pendleton has other mauce
nnta osiilo from the fact that it is
. . .
a clean town morally. This city has
a school system second to no other J
small city in the northwest. Aside
from the public schools and high
school it has two excellent academies
and a business college. Pendleton j
has mercantile establishments that
surpass those of Walla Walla, at least '
in proportion to the size of the place. !
There is all kinds ot suburban prop
erty that may be had at reasonable j
figures. A traction system is soon ;
to V.P estnblished and this will add I
greatly to the value of local realty".
Altogether Pendleton has a host ot
inducements to offer those who are
looking for an acceptable town in i
which to live. If the retired farmers '
now livinc in Walla Walla want
improve their surroundings let them
c.ime here to live. Pendleton always
has a warm welcome for new people
and especially for good people. Come
here, Pendleton is "dry."
The East Oregonian is Informed
that President Penrose of Whitman
college has been in the east for a
year and so was not present during
the prohibition fight in Walla Walla
and could make no speeches. It is
unfortunate that he was away. Evi
dently some others were also else
where at the time, judging from the
result of the voting.
The Hermiston Herald has passed
into the hands of a new owner.
