PRUNE THE GRAFT TREE.
By the action of Postmaster Gen
eral Hitchcock the matter of second
class postal rates has been made a
Jive subject. In the magazines and
dally press of the country much has
been said lately upon the question as
to whether or not second class rates
should be advanced. The following
extract from the Atlanta Constitution
voices also the views of this paper:
"It may be highly desirable to
make the expenses of the postofflce
department accord more nearly with
Its income; but It was never Intended
as, and should in no sense be made,
n institution of profit to the government.
"An approximately self-supporting
postoffice department, economically
operated, would approach the Ideal.
"Right here there are several mat
ters to be considered before that of
Increasing postage rates is reached.
"In the first place, the postmaster
general himself has pointed out
where the deficit can be reduced by
approximately $3,500,00 by cutting oft
the much-used and frequently abused
franking privilege.
"Then, we have heard It stated,
and can scarcely question the truth
of the assertion, that a thorough re
organization of the department In all
Itt branches, and In the various de
tails of the service, would disclose the
possibility of considerable paring
down of expenditure without impair
ment of the service. Why not have
this situation thoroughly gone Into
by experts?
"Next, before any action Is taken
In the direction threatened, congress
should have before It definite Infor
mation regarding the cost of trans
porting the malls, and the cost of
transporting express" freight
'The Constitution has repeatedly
called attention to the necessity for
securing this Information as a prere
quisite to determining whether the
government Is paying the railroads
too much for mall transportation.
"Mr. Hitchcock gives these matters
no consideration whatever In his re
ply to the magazine publishers.
"Would It not be well first to get
the department upon a basis of prac
tical economy along the lines sug
gested, and, possibly, others, before
NOT KSPKCIAM.Y NEW.
One of the most remarkable
movements of the last few weeks has
its storm center In New York, ac
cording to the Inland Herald. It Is
nothing less than a project to citify.
or urbanize, the lonely acres where
the plowman homeward plods his
weary way.
Edgar S. Chambliss, of New York,
and Albert Owen, of the , same city,
are authors of the new movement.
These men Iiave concluded, after In
terviewing Bolton Hall, who wrote
"Three Acres and Liberty," that It
will not be possible to Induce any
large part of the population to move
into the rural wilds until something
is put Into those wilds to attract the
people.
"Back to the land!" has been a cry
for some 10 or 15 years, but it has
been neutralized by the less gram
matatical cry, "Me for the city!"
Cities lure the able-bodied country
boy, because of their attractions In
commercial fields, their amusements,
and their emphasis of the general
Joy of living.
Machinery, invention, financing, the
wealth of mechanical conveniences
all these attract the young man, of
ability from the fields. Above all,
however, it is the loneliness of the
country that dispirits the youth of the
land.
Mr. Chambless proposes to build
country farm-towns that shall contain
electric lights, baths and all the con
veniences of cities. He and Mr.
Owen would make country life at
tractive. They would stop the coun
try from flooding the city and start
the cities of the Union to flooding
the country.
Both plans would remove the ter
ror from silent acres by having the
city spirit permeate the country. They
would have amusement halls, thea
ters here and there, lectures, even
saloons and billiard halls. To carry
out their plans they would Invoke
either State or Federal aid, possibly
both. They want good roads for au
tomobiles, plenty of public convey
ances of modern type, and the con
veniences of civilization everywhere.
If schemes of this kind are ever
put into practice, we should like to
see the Inland Empire get In, as the
real estate men say, "on the ground
floor." Why should we be laggards
in this modern movement? says the
Herald.
About the scheme of Messrs. Cham
bliss and Owen there is much merit.
But the statement that they are the
originators of he idea Is a mistake.
It is an old scheme. Edward Bellamy
had the same sort of a dream and so
have other men. They have not been
limited to any age or any century.
The situation Owen and Chambliss
seek to bring about is usually referred
to aa the mllllneum.
The ladies of the city do not want
to have all the dogs that are "run In"
dumped Indiscriminately Into a cel
lar. They fear some valuable pets
might become caught in the net qhd
they want to have a chance to get
them out
ENCOURAGING.
After visiting all the principal places
in the state an eastern physician de
siring to locate In the northwest has
decided to cast his lot with Pendle
ton. He says that In business activ
ity, civic appearance and good, sub
stantial backing Pendleton Is more
favored than any other place he vis
ited. Though he found other towns
where more of a "boom" Is on than
In Pendleton at present none of the
places he visited have the big perma
nent backing that is Pendleton's. It
Is encouraging to have a newcomer
say these things. He should be an
unprejudiced witness. There are
plenty of local people too who have
this same feeling of confidence In
Pendleton. They have reasons for
feeling confident. There are many
forces at work for the advancement
of this city and for the development
of the surrounding country. These
forces are bound to take Pendleton
forward in spite of the petty croak
ing of a few people who can see no
good In this town or In anything else.
AMUSING THE PEOPLE.
Editor East Oregonlan:
You can not pick up a daily paper
those days without being confronted
with some kind of an indictment. It
would seem that indicting trust mag
nates is rapidly becoming one of the
great national indoor sports in Am
erica. It Is as harmless as an air pis
tol, ns exciting as croquet and as ex
pensive as polo, while It Is almost as
interesting to the spectators as base
ball. With all these recommendations
I foel it will have a great run this
summer. It is being conducted on
the old old principle upon which the
Romans depended for so many years.
That of keeping the audience amused
while it was being robbed.. It is said
the Roman rulers used bread and cir
cuses for that purpose. Our Ameri
can Yankee capitalist has learned
how to dispense with the bread' while
still providing the circus. The first
Important exhibition along this line
was furnished by that famous 929.
000,000 fine. That drew immense
crowds, kept the spectators roused to
the highest pitch of interest, which
prevented them from noticing the
pickpockets that were swiping their
valuables. That Immunity both af
forded the very necessary variety that
prevented any sign of ennui. It In
troduced a new element of excitement
by showing how many different ways
there are for the magnates to get
away. At the present moment a half
dozen states as well as the national
government are staging teams playing
the game to very large and apprecia
tive audiences. The drawing powers
of the act do not seem to be impair
ed In the least by the reeular escape
of the supposed victims.
The entire audience seems to ho In
much the same state of blissful Ig
norance as that shown by the visitor
from John Day who was seen In the
snme seat In the Pastime picture show
night after night.- The scene thrown
on the canvas was one of those af
fairs where the Innocent husband ar
rived home shortly after the lover has
departed. Noting his regular attend
ance, Mr. Matlock of the Pastime, in
quired concerning the features that
held his attention. "Some night that
husband will got home before that
other fellow gets away and I want to
be here to see the fight." was his re
ply. The American public is hoeing
against hope that some day a trust
magnate will not get away, and they
want to be on hand to see the fight.
They do not realize how the piece
Is staged any more than that innocent
chap from John Day. So you see the
grand Juries go on indicting and the
courts keep up their farce of prose
cuting and the trusts keep on flour
ishing and growing.
Like many other games this one
seems to be most dangerous to the
Innocent bystander. One of the anti
trust guns was pointed at the Hatters'
labor union the other day and when
it went off was found to b" loaded
with real ammunition. Yes, real
powder and shot. Yet it was the same
old gun with which the trusts have
been shot every day for a decade
without tbe least injury. And what
are you going to do about it.
We socialists have discovered the
"nigger In the wood pile" and know
very well his name, which is Profit.
Not until he Is routed out as the in
centive for all business transactions
will we have or can we expect eco
nomic Justice. To Illustrate: A doc
tor, a lawyer and a preacher all went
fishing one day. It was a poor day
for fish and. they fell into conversa
tion. "How do you regulate your
charges?" asked the preacher of the
pill man. ("Oh," replied the doctor.
"I usually make a mental list of the
patient's taxable property and then
charge according to his ability to pay."
"And how with you, brother," said
the preacher to the lawyer. "Me?"
exclaimed the lawyer, "why I size up
my client's pile and Include it In my
fee. To be a successful lawyer," he
continued, "one must be able to esti
mate how much a client will give up
without pulling his gun." "Ah, me,"
sighed the preacher, "and I get what's
left. Respectfully,

EVIL SOIL.
Most of the wrong doing of the
world is confined to two classes of
people, the jjoor who will not work
and the overly rich who do not have
to work. According to criminolo
gists most of the crime originates in
the slums where people live under ab
normal conditions. That soli is not
right for the development of people
who are morally, intellectually and
physically well balanced. But neither
I the soli good where people live in
too great opulence, where the men
have little to do but smoke cigarettes
around fashionable club houses or
talk to other men's wives. That this
la the case is indicated by the Cud
ahy affray at Kansas City.
Saratoga Chips (Antl-dyapeptic).
Most dishes requiring deep frying
are denied the dyspeptic because they are
usually fried in lard, and lard does not
"ap;rec," The following recipe will be
welcomed by those of poor digestion :
Peel the potatoes and Kllce thin Into
cold water. Drain well, and dry In a
towel. Fry a few at a time In hot Cotto
lene. Salt as you take them out, and lay
them on coarse brown paper for a short
time.
The above recip? can be followed
without the least fear of disagreeable
after effects. The chips will be crisp
and dry not greasy, as when fried in
lard. Cottolene contains no hog fat,
but is made of purest cottonseed oil; it
i:; recom mended by physicians generally.
ANOTHER GOOD BUY
1(40 acres all fenced, good new

plenty of water for Irrigating, good
concrete dams and ditches, good
buildings, lots of fruit trees and ber
