Official City and Connty Paper.
The fields are ploughed, the
seed is sown
And summer nurtures it, of
her grace;
Soon will the food of the world
be grown.
And the harvest time come on
apace;
But nowhere do I see or hear
The reaper of the yesteryear.
A houso is building across the
way,
From sill to roof it is rising
fair;
The sound of hammers begins
the day.
At night the workmen still
are there;
But nowhere do I see or hear
The master builder of yester
year. The work of the world goes
bravely on,
Though the toiling hands may
pause and fail;
Another comes when one is
gone,
There are men, and labor,
whatever befall;
Soon one may look, nor see nor
hear
The song or singer of yesteryear.
FIGHT IT DOWN".
At this time there is nut the slight
est excuse fur any county division agi
tation in this county. Pendleton, the
county seat of Umatilla county, is lo
cated in the geographical center of
the countj and it is easily accessible
from every direction. Twenty two
passenger trains run in and out of
this city every day. Six of these
trains run daily between Pendleton
and the east end of the county.. On
those trains one may enter or leave
Pendleton in the morning, In the eve
ning or in the middle of the night. So
the service is very convenient.
Nor has the east end any just com-
D'.aint uDOn unv other score. Most
of the present county officials are
from that section. This has been true
fcr a number of years. The east end
has always been well recognized. The
east end has also been well treated
In the matter of road and bridge Im
provement". Steel bridges are now in
use throughout that entire section.
The east end has been well cared for.
But in return for this fair and lib
eral treatment the people of Milton,
or some of them at least, have sprung
a proposition that is absolutely unfair
and Inexpedient. By a "gerrymander
in?" process they have drawn the lines
o' "Orchard" county so as to include
Athena and Weston and most of the
farm country near Helix and Adams.
None of that country, and it is great
er in area than the Milton-Freewater
ccuntry, wants to be in a new county.
It is far more convenient for the peo
ple of that section to come to Pendle
ton than go to Milton. Then those
people know that if the new county Is
cieated taxation will be Increased,
perhaps doubled. Instead of beln In
bi' county, free from debt and with
th ass-ed valuation of $42,000,000
they will be left In a "one horse"
county that will have no presfine and
will have no money for roads, bridges
or any other sort of work.
The '"Orchard" county move was
not started because a new county Is
needed or because the east end section
lias any Just complaint against Uma
tilla county. It was started in a spir
it f narrow self .-hnr .S'.me Milton
people believe it would benefit them
personally to have their town made a
county seat. In order to gratify their
selfishness they are willing to work
an inconvenience and Injustice upon
others. They are willing to be unfair
to Weston, Athena, Helix, Adams and
t Pendleton. They don't care If tax
ation is Increased. The money will be
expended In their town, in building
a court house. In paying the salaries
of new officials and In meeting other
expenses.
The question at this time Is as to
whether or not the people of Umatilla
connty residing outside of Milton are
going to stand for this sort of division
That they don't want division la al
ready known. Then they should take
stops to see that the county Is not
iliViileil.
AN KmtTKI FOOL.
Idiots like Trof. Hamilton of the
University of California are respon
sible for many race riots. He has de
clared the belief that the Jeffries
Johnson fight showed the equality of
the Mack and white races. It did
nothing f the sort nnd nobody hut
nr. Imbecile could express the senti
ments credited to this Hamilton. The
fipht simply showed that as a pugilist
Johnson was superior to his "has
hi en" opponent. It does not even
show that the colored race is equal or
superior to the white race in a phy
sieal sense. One German might whip
an Irishman yet that would not show
the physical superiority of the Ger
man people over the Irish.
Just after the civil war there were
many fools like Prof. Hamilton.
They were found among the carpet
l'MSsers and scalawags who invested
the south in the reconstruction days
and made that period the blackest in
American history. They tried to
preach equality of the races, but the
scheme was a tragic failure just as It
will be every time the experiment Is
tried. Xor is this any reflection upon
the black race. That race Is handl
er, pped in competing with the white
man. The colored race was taken
cut of savagery but a few generations
since. Caucasians on the other hand
have been climbing the ladder of civ.
ib.zation for thousands of years. The
black race cannot hope to catch up
!nd this fact Involves no disgrace to
that race either.
It is true that the colored people
are making progress as are all other
rrces. For this progress colored peo
ple are entitled to credit and to en
couragement. But the true friend of
the colored man advises him to main
tain his race entity and to work In
I that sphere for which nature has fit-
jt'd him. The man who talks of race
equality and especially of social equai
i'y is either a fool or a knave. Where
eer his advice has been followed It
has resulted In disaster and it always
will.
FOR A "BUMPER" FAIR,
Within a very short time the open
ing date for the Third district fair
will be at hand. If the fair commis
sion lives up to its past record the
ccmlng fair will be the best that has
been held. Thus far each fair has
been just a little hit better than Its
ptedeeessor.
Now Pendleton, wants this repu
tation sustained. Pendleton wants the
district fair to succeed and grow In
size and in popularity. This hope
may be gratified if only the proper
work is done. Nor may all the labor
be left upon the shoulders of the fair
commissioners. It Is true that the
chief burden must fall upon those
men. The success of the fair will de
pend primarily upon the amount of
Interest and energy devoted to the
work by President C. E. Roosevelt and
his colleagues upon the fair board.
Eut the community at large can do
i.iueh towards making the fair a suc
cess. Every local resident and every
resident of Umatilla county or of
Morrow should be a booster for the
fair. Especially Is this true with re
erects to local businessmen. .
Now while we yet have the time
h t us all get busy and work for a
greater and more popular Third Dist
rict fair. It will be worth while to
do so.
A .TTET HORSE.
The argument Is made that the as
sembly was devised to reunite the re
publican party within this state. It
was not. The real forces back of the
assembly scheme, though not the sur
face supporters, do not care whether
the republican or the democratic par
ty Is in power. They use both parties
And one party about as much as the
other. What these "higher ups" want
is to get hold of affairs again. They
are afraid of the direct primary be
muse under that system people elect
men who serve the people and are In
debted only to the public. The
"higher ups" want a centralized au
thority In the person of a machine
boss. They want to he able to go to
such a man and say "we want this
sort of a man for governor, or for
senator or for judge,'" nnd he able to
get what they want. The plea that
the assembly was devised to promote
the welfare of the republican party Is
purely hypocrisy. That plea Is. made
because partisanship is a horse the
"higher ups" have often ridden In the
past and ridden with success. But
he is now a Jaded old skate and the
people who rely upon him these days
generally fall.
After the O. R. & N. gets moved
into Its new depot -and completes the
Improvements around the station the
place will look better. Especially If
the grounds are parked.
Next upon the program .will be the
convention of the Spanish war vet
erans of this state. Pendleton is the
"convention city."

to subscribe to the anti-division fund.

WHAT IS AX AMERICAN-
A spirited and timely article entitl
ed "What is an American?" by War
ren Barton Blake, is one of several
novel features In the July Lippin
cott's. "Part of the difficulty in discover
ing just what an American is, Is due
to the mixing process the poor fellow
had been put through," says Mr.
Blake. "It would be a simpler mut
ter to decide, what isn't an Ameri
can? "In realizing our present day cos
mopolitanism, we forget how near this
cosmopolitanism comes to being our
tradition. Too often we think only
of the British colonies when our co
lonial period is spoken of. Last sum

ed futility in reminding us how mixed
our stock has been from the begin
ning how nearly fortuitous the
English supremacy. Why be bullied
into exaggerating our debt to the Is
land Home? It was Captain Basil
Hall who told our grandfathers that
'England taught the Americans all
they have of thought, hitherto. What
thoughts they have not learned from
England are foolish thoughts; what
words they "nave not learned. un
seemly words." It is good to be re
minded either by an International
fete or by re-reading Crevecoeur's
'Letters from the American Farmer.'
how much we do not owe to old
England. And it is reassuring, as we
contemplate the vast experiment that
goes on today, to know how well our
primitive experiments in race-mixings
succeeded. I like to be remind
ed what good citizens of Philadelphia
were Benezet and Stephqn Girard;
and how. Justly Nev York honors her
Putch heritabe. 'Ubi pans, ubi patria,'
quotes good St. John de Crevecoeur,
who had married a Yonkers girl nam
ed Mehitahle Tippet, and tilled a farm
in Orange county, near the Jersey
line. This Franco-American paints
so idyllic a picture that we positively
envy the settler his hardships. 'The
rich and the poor,' nu says, 'are not
so far removed from each other us
they ure in Europe;' cultivators
boasted in those days 'a pleasing uni
formity of decent habitations.' The
Farmer wrote before the age of Tene
ment commissions.
"Yet In describing the American's
complex materials, Crevecoeur was
modern enough; as modern as his
style. ' I could point out to you,' he
writes, 'a family whose grandfather
was an Englishman, whose wife was
Dutch, whose son married a French
woman, and whose present four sons
have now lour wives of different na
tions. He is an American who, leav
ing behind him all his ancient prejud
ices and manners, receives new ones
from the new mode of life he has em
braced, the new government he obeys
and the new rank he holds. He be
comes an American by being . . .
melted into a new race of men, whose
labors and posterity will one day cause
great changes in the world. Ameri
cans are the festern pilgrims, who arc
carrying along with them that great
mass of arts, sciences, vigor and in
dustry which began long since in the
east; they will finish the great c I re re
. , . . There is room for every
body in America.
"We cannot improve upon Crevec
oeur today. If he generalizes pretty
boldly, so do we. We're worried;
when we stop to think; but, on the
whole, we're proud. Aldrich, to be
sure, sang of 'Unguarded Gates' .
and the motley throng that passes
them:
"Men from the Volga and the Tartar
steppes,
Featureless figures of the Hoang-IIo,
Malayan, Scythian, Teuton, Kelt or
Slav,
Flying the Old World's poverty und
scorn,
but we still like to think we can di
gest the lump. And no one has
phrased better than Crevecoeur the
idealism of the true American. They
say his book sent five hundred Nor
man families to Ohio to perish there.
At least, the American Farmer never
represented his adopted country as
that 'French Pays de Cocagne,' w here,
by Franklin's account, the streets are
paved with half-baked loaves. the
houses tiled with pancakes, and

ANOTHER "LOST" ART.
The late Wendell Phillips did not
Include conversation as among the
"loyj" jirts he discussed in his pop
ular lecture. Since his time, how
ever, many writers hnve been keen
to note how we have fallen off In
powers of speech. A Mr. Horatio S.
Kr.ms has embodied all that Is really
memorable on the subjert In a vol
ume which he frankly entitles "The
I o.-i Art of Conversation."
It would seem, upon a moment's
consideration, as being very extraor
dinary. Indeed, that an age so wise
as ours, with so many persons of In
creasing intelligence, with a voca
bulary enlarged to an extent beyond
the dreams of the great lexicograph
er who created Rasselas. should yet
be nimble to talk with skill. We do
not believe this Is so. Whnt has
happened in the evolution of social
converse is quite (dear and all for the
good of a patient race.
Who would tolerate the Socratic
dialogues today? Who would care to
list.-n to the dogmatic utterances o"
De Quinoey of Coleridge. of Dr.
Johnson? These men never advanc
ed or even Illustrated the art of con
versation. However great they miiv
have been, and however weighty the
things they said. they, yet, did not
converse. It was dictatorial mono
logue with one and all of them, and
as opposed to that the monotonous
Ipse dixlts of si Maeaulay there Is
much to be said In favor of plain and
simple chit-chat or gossip. That art
Is not lost. It Is the froth of speech,
perhaps, but it has its value at least,
it doesn't bore you. Philadelphia
