PREAM O' SPRINGTIME.
Haste not away
From the light o' the day,
Soon reach the land where the
" violets stay.
Winter takes wing
To the garden o" spring;
Soon see the green, hear a
mockingbird sing.
Haste not away:
After dim skys of gray
You'll reach th glad land
where the red roses stay.

FOR PENDLETON'S SAKE.
When the Commercial association
committee goes out Monday to raise
the money that is needed to secure
the traction system Pendleton will be
put to a test to the most severe test
in aiany years-. How will it be met?
There are many who believe the
eeded 150,000 will be raised with
comparative ease. They remember
fhnt local citizens subscribed 30,000
to take the woolen mill bonds last
winter and so they Imagine the pres
ent task an easy one. It really
should be when the Interests at stake
re considered.
But unfortunately the situation at
this time Is not as hopeful as it
should be. There are forces that are
working silently yet shrewdly and
more or less effectively against the
traction enterprise. Those who are
opposing are prompted by different
motives. There is a heavy influence
that may be traced to the door of the
Northwest Gas & Electric company.
Why this Influence is being used
against the new enterprise is obvi
ous. Some are opposing the traction
movement because of political or fac
tional animosities while others are
gainst It because they are possessed
by foolish pessimism or too much con
servatism. In the judgment of the
East Oregonian there are but few
men who are opposing the traction
enterprise because they fear it is not
meritorious. How anyone could op
pose the proposition on such grounds,
troder the circumstances, this paper Is
t .a loss to understand.
Tet the fact stands out that there
is opposition to the traction enter
prise or at least In certain quarters
the movement Is not receiving the
support that it Justly merits. What
the final outcome will be the East
Oregonian does not know. , At this
time it Is only the truth to say that
the success of the movement Is still
ir, doubt.
In order to have the movement suc
eeed the business people and monied
men of this city, great and small,
must get together; they must lay
side all cheap and unworthy preju
dices and be guided alone by civic
patriotism. For the sake of Pen
dleton end for the Pendleton of the
future they must drop their petty
quarrels and differences. If people
will but do this the success of this
enterprise will be assured and this
elty and every business man and
property owner within it will be bene
fitted. Why not do it gentlemen?
AS TO PARTISANSHIP.
The Oregonlan refers to this paper
at a "democratic Journal" and at
tributes the enmity of the East Ore
gonlan towards the assembly scheme
t this fact.- But the Oregonian Is
wrong in the characterization of this
paper Just aa It is wrong with refer
ence to almost everything else.
The East Oregonlan Is not a par
tisan paper of any kind and it Is not
going to be. This paper has convlc
Hons uoon political subjects, to be
sure. Likewise upon economic
questions that are now before the
eountry. For Instance this paper
favors a tariff that looks to the e!
fare of the general public, rot t
Interests. It opposes the ship eub
s.ily plan ami favors the conserva
tion policy. In other words thin pa
per has "Progressive" tendencies and
dislikes "Standpatism." But this la
not particularly a partisan matter.
The most conspicuous "Progressive"
Waders at this time are republicans.
As for party names this paper does
not care a rap, especially in state and
local politics. The East Orcgonlun
would as soon support a republican
for office us a democrat. In the past
It has helped many good republicans
become elected and doubtless It will
do the same in the future. In the
personality of candidates this paper
is interested, as is enmlently proper.
But as to their party affiliations It
does not care any more than it cares
about their religious beliefs or about
the color of their hair.
The East Oregonlan Is opposing the
assembly scheme because it believes
lluU plan looks to the restoration of
l'ossism in this state and that If It
succeeds Oregon will go back into the
dark hole of political corruption
from which it but recently ascended.
Furthermore it may be added here
that in the humble view of this paper
the best interests of the republican
party in Oregon demand the squelch
ing of the assembly scheme. Nothing
could work so much to the advantage
of the minority party and tend to
place democrats in office than for the
republican party to take up with the
assembly Idea.
THE PROBABLE COST.
One of the arguments used most
frequently by the brigade that Is
"knocking" the traction movement Is
the statement that the money to be
raised locally will be sufficient to do
all the work the company will do In
this vicinity. Some of the "antis"
are saying witn mucn gravity mat
electrical roads may be built for
IHO00 or $.1000 per mile.
Now the East Oregonian is not an
authority upon the cost of electric
roads and It does not wish to pose as
an authority, preferring to have peo
ple investigate such matters for
themselves. But the information this
paper has all tends to the belief that
there is absolutely nothing to the
charge that Pendleton's $50,000 will
be sufficient to pay for the work ti
Im- done in this city. The traction
men say it will cost in the neighbor
hood of $20,000 per mile to build
their road. They point out that the
Salem-Portland electric road cost this
sum per mile and also call attention
to the. fact that the Walla Walla-
Milton line is assessed at $17,000 per
mile, the assessment being based
largely upon figures furnished by the
officers of the company owning that
line. According to Mr. FitzGerald,
Pendleton's $50,000 will not be suf
ficient to pay more than one third or
one iortn tne cost oi me worn um
company is to do here." That this is
true is' indicated by the fact that the
directors of the company give a bond
to spend at least $200,000 within two
years in this vicinity and in develop
ing their power.
As the East Oregonian understands
the matter the traction company does
not want the local money to use in
building their road. They will do
their work before they get any local
money. The $50,000 is intended to
meet a deficit the company expects
to face during the first few years its
road is in operation. That the road,
even with interurban connections,
will have to be operated at a loss for
several vears seems plain. If so is It
not entirely reasonable that the trac
tion men should want local people to
assist them in sharing this loss?
I S NOT THIS Tit UK?
In the traction movement a fight
s on between the progressive and the
ultra-conservative elements within the
cltv. The success or failure of the
movement will depnd upon which ele.
ment obtains the mastery next week
Tho Fast Oretronlan contends, as it
has contended before, that the pro
gressive course is the proper one
the only course for Pendleton to take,
Owing to various reasons the growth
of the city has been practically at a
standstill during the past few years.
Now If the city Is to go forward local
people must get busy, the town will
not grow unless the proper steps are
taken to make It grow. Local people
and especially the monied men, must
show a spirit of enthusiasm and of
liberality in backing enterprises that
promise to work for the city's ad
vancement. They must continue to do
just as they did with the woolen mill.
If people refuse to do this but on the
other hand take a narrow and ultra
conservative attitude there Is grave
danger that Pendleton will not only
remain at a stand; till but will become
affected with "dry rot."
In the past Pendleton haa always
marched to a lively and aggressive
tune. The question now Is whether
the people prefer that sort of music
Remember that there Is soon to bv
a Commercial association election.

If you want the traction line think,
talk and boost for it. The movement
needs nil the support It can get.

Cortlandt Field Bishop, president

"An American motorist went to
Germany in his car to the army ma
neuvers. He was especially impress
ed with the German motor ambu
lances. As the tuuKst wcuuiKd ll,e
maneuvers from a seat under a tree
the axle of one of the motor ambu
lances broke. Instantly the man
leaped out, ran into the village, re
turned in a Jiffy with a new axle, fix
ed it in place with wonderful skill,
and teuffed-teuffed off ngaln almost
as good as new.
"That's efficiency for you,' said the
American admiringly. 'There's Ger
man efficiency for you. No matter
what breaks, there's always a stock
at hand from which to supply the
needed part.'
"And praising tho remarkable in

Just witnessed, the tourist returned to
the village and ordered up his car.
But he couldn't use it. The axle was

(Portland Oregonian.)
The fact that many of the potatoes
were frozen in the ground in this re
gion and more or less throughout tho
Willamette valley was not due to
"shiftlessness," that is so easy to
charge up against Oregon farmers
when disaster through weather over
takes their crops. During November
the potato-digging month, the rain
fell In torrents almost without inter
mission. Let any one who thinks It
is either pleasant or profitable to dig
potatoes in the rain try it. Then came
the untimely freeze in early Decem
ber. Again, let any one who things
it easy or feasible to dig potatoes
when the ground above them is froz
en, try it. The fact Is that there have
not been a half dozen days suitable
for potato digging since late potatoes
were fit to dig. It is well to remem
ber this before scoffing at farmers
whose potatoes are still in the ground
ns shiftless and dilatory.
GOOD PHILOSOPHY.
The objection to conforming to
usages that "have become dead U' you.
Is, that it scatters your force. It
loses your time, and blurs tne im
pression of your character, it you
maintain a dead church, contribute
to a. dead Bible society, vote with a
great party either for the govern
ment or against It under tnese
screens, I have difficulty to detect the
precise man you are. And of course.
much force is withdrawn irom
your proper life. Do your work, anu
you shall reinforce yourself. A man
must consider what a blindman s
buff is this game of conformity. For
non-conformity the world whips you
with its displeasure. Another terror
that scares us from self-trust is our
consistence; a reverence for our past
act or word. But why drag about
this monstrous corpse of your mem
ory. A TOOllsn consistency is i"-- m
goblln of little minds. Ralph Waldo
Emerson.

your prospects.' ' sne iiik.
