WE HAVE WON OIT.
The fight is over and the hells of
victory -rc ringing. They make
weet mKsic for those who waged the
long, har 1 struggle to secure a trnr
tion system for this city. In the fact
that the traction movement has sue
I,
eeeded there is reward for the brigade
of workers who have devoted their
time so loyally and earnestly to the j
cause. It was a hard fight, but we i
won out. j
In the view of the East Oregonlan '
the success of the traction movement
Js of vast significance with respects
to the future of this little city. ' Why j
a traction system is needed this pa-!
per has pointed out many times. It
would be tiresome to repeat those
reasons here. It is sufficient to say
that the establishment of a traction
Bystem with this city as the center of
operations will place Pendleton In
position to advance and to hold its
rank as the commercial center of the
great empire in which it is located.
That such a tractron system will now
be provided seems sure. Of course
the company wants further local sup
port But It has a plan for securing
It That the company will proceed
quickly towards the construction of In-
terurban lines as well as wlh the
work within this city ' is promised.
There can be no reasonable fear that
the interurban roads will not be built.
The company could not think of de
veloping an expensive power plant
merely to provide power for street
cars to be operated In Pendleton and
suburbs. The interurban lines will be
the money makers.
Then the success of the traction
movement Is also significant In an
other way. It marks the beginning of
a new era In this city. A renaiss
ance. During the past few years Pen
dleton has been quiet In some respects.
A epirlt of pessimism has prevailed.
This has been erpeclally noticeable
among the heavy property owners.
These men have acted In a peculiar
mar ncr. They have acted like a child
who, having a headache, refuses all
comfort, and asks only to be allowed
to die.
But the great majority or the peo
ple of this city are not of the pessi
mistic type. They have not lost
heart On the contrary they have
faith in Pendleton and faith In their
ability to make the town better. The
East Oregonlan haa been with these
people heart and soul. It has con
tinually encouraged them and led
them forward. It counselled them to
put an end to croaking and to rely
npon self help. In line with this pol
icy this paper has advised local peo
ple to give the Washington-Oregon
company the support that was re
quested. This paper has backed the
traction movement from start to fin
ish. The East Oregonlan urged the
reelection of Mayor Murphy because
It knew him to be favorable to the
traction system and to other new en
terprise for Pendleton and because
the importance of a friendly admln
IMrntion was recognized. Now that
the Ions campaign Is over, or at least
the crisis js passed, this paper la
highly pleased. The East Oregonlan
predicts that bright things are In
store for Pendleton ami congratulates
the progressive people of this city up-
' the goo. I work they have done.
HOW IT WAS DONE.
Few people realize the hard, per
sistent work that was required to
make the traction movement succeed.
It was not an easy task at all. It was
a long, hard fight and until yester
day no one knew what the outcome
would be.
Members of the original committee
especially had a "work out." That
committee was named last fall and It
has worked upon this proposition for
months. It worked under the most
adverse circumstances. Many times
defeat seemed almost Inevitable, yet
tie members stayed with the job.
Having placed their hands upon the
plow they did not look back.
But of course Dr. Smith and his fel-
; w committeemen could not have won
the fight alone. Even though the
committee contained such "war hors
es" as Judge Fee, R. Alexander, Leon
1 ... ....I-
Cohen, Mayor Murphy and Will Moore !
the fight would have been lost had
. .
not others come to the support of the
movement. It was the
strength '
brought by W. U Thompson and the
others of the enlarged committee that
put new hope in the breasts of the
traction workers and caused them to
redouble their efforts.
Finally it was the loyal and en
thusiastic support erven the move
ment by the merchants and small
property owners that made the move- I
mcnt successful. Without a red cent ,
r 1111 any of the really big property '
owners. $25.00o was raised and the !
bargain clinched. The fact that such '
was done is a high tribute to the en- ;
li rpriso and public spiriteduess of the '
business men of this city. Towns that ;
have people like this never stand still.
Pendleton is not going to stand still.
Favored by nature and backed by the j
indomitable spirit of its people this j
city is going forward it is going to i
pec. 'in. a real city.
IT IS .001 NEWS,
It is gnO'l news thnt the ". u
j company U preparing to begin work
n the line changes It is to make be- i
tween Yoakum and this city. While
the work is underway there will be
fperensed local business activity and
the completion of the changes will
materially better the service rendered
by the O. R. & X. It is also pleasant
n. note that the company is following
a general policy of betterment and
advancement. Many improvements
are being made elsewhere within this
state. This fact is encouraging for it
shows the railroad officials' have faith
in this state and are possessed of a
desire to do their part towards bring
ing about Its development.
According to the dispatches Em
peror William is wondering just how
he will entertain Roosevelt. If re
ports of Theodore's prowess are true
William should make preparation by
se veral days of drouth and fasting.
The merchants who subscribed to
the traction fund have shown their
faith in Pendleton and likewise their
willingness to aid in the upbuilding
of the city. Remember them.
The bicycle aeroplane is the lutest
invention and It opens up possibilities.
Should the work be carried on and a
motor-cycle aeroplane devised where
won't we be able to go.
The line from this city to the west
end section is the one we want most.
Pendleton needs the fruit and the
vegetables that will be raised upon
the project
The banejuet Idea is certainly a
good one. After all the work that has
been done here of late, a celebration
is in order.
"I came; I saw; I conquered" said
Caesar. The traction committee feels
about as he did.
Now it is time for the scoffer to
crawl Into a hole and pull the same
In after him.
Now make ready for the Greater
Pendleton.
PRESIDENT, NOT PROXY.

great president must develop and ex
ecute his own policies and be guided
by his own conscience In discharging
the duties of his office.
Jefferson was Jefferson, not Wash
ington. Jackson was Jackson, not
Jefferson, Lincoln, was Lincoln, not
Jackson. Cleveland was Cleveland,
not Lincoln. Roosevelt, with all his
faults, was Roosevelt, and Taft must

credit his aiVministratioln. He toler-

Roosevelt's personal followers. But j
when Mr. Taffs patience was finally t

The American people do not like I

national administrations are judged
separately and by their own achieve- I

they attempt to echo some previous
administration. Mr. Taft will succeed !

not by virtue of Mr. Roosevelt's poli

It is not often that the German Km- .

authority posted himself at the wheel.
The Emperor who regit rds himself
as a perfect master of steering, sta
tioned himself in the vicinity of the
pilot, and suggested giving him a hand
at the wheel.
The rough sea-dog, not recognizing
the Emperor, turned round with a
snarl.
"Are yon pilot, or am I?" he
growled.
