IT'S A FAIR WORLD.

Oh, a great world, a fair world,
a- true world I find it;
A sun that never forgets to
rise,
On the darkest night, a star
in the skies,
And a God of love behind it.
Oh, for a far way, a high way,
a sure life, I take it.

Oh, a far way, a high way, a

seems long,
We must trudge ahead, with a
trustful song,
And know at the end He needs

an end to the accusation that the
new board Is trying to discredit the
old. Both President Selling and Speak
er Rusk are progressives and friend
ly to the new state administration. In
the natural order of things they
would have named legislators friend
ly to the new toard. The fact that
Impartial committees have been ap
pointed Is evidence that the politi
cal features of the case are being cast
aside.
It is now up to local people also to
lay aside all political animosities, to
prepare to show the asylum investi
gators all possible courtesies and to
assist them in doing the work that Is
before them.
What Pendleton wants is the branch
asylum.
THE PARDONING POWER.
'OW DOWN TO BUSINESS.
In the view of the East Oregonian
It is fortunate that the special com
mittees that are to investigate the
branch asylum site will wait a week
before coming to this city. More or
less bitterness has been engendered
by the controversy over the site. But
the strife should now be over. Those
on each side have thoroughly express-
their feelings and made their positions
-clear. It is now time to drop the con
troversy and let the smoke of battle
float away. By next week it should
he possible to get down to business.
By a law enacted by the people of
this state a branch asylum is to be
established in eastern Oregon. The
tale board has officially ordered that
the Institution be located here. That
-decision cannot well be altered. The
poposition now before the officials is
"how to find the most desirable build
ing site in this vicinity. Most of the
land needed for the branch asylum
lias already been secured and inci
dentally It may be remarked that Jay
Bowerman made a good bargain when
lie purchased the Oliver-Carpenter
place. The state bought one of the
best farms in this section at a very
reasonable price. But if a better build
ing site may be secured by purchas
ing land adjoining that tract most
certainly the purchase should be
made.
From the makeup of the commit
tees from the house and senate It
seems plain that the respective pre
siding officers have striven to keep
politics out of the matter. President
Belling named one Bowerman man
and one of his own supporters to rep
resent the senate. Neither senator
named has any concern in the loca
tion of the asylum. Speaker Rusk
likewise has been very fair. Though
himself a representative from Union
county he named Representative Mann
upon the house committee. The
other men named are western Ore
Eon legislators and should have no
special Interest in the matter. The
makeup of the committees should pat
At Salem a law is now before the
legislature which if passed will make
it more difficult for life term prison
ers to be pardoned. In this connec
tion it may be cited that in some of
the eastern states eminent men are
advocating the creation of pardon
commissions- to perform duties that
now fall upon governors.
Xot content with the plan now
curient in most American states of
permitting; the governor to share the
responsibilities of the pardoning pow
er, former Governor Horace White, of
New Tork, would have the right of
executive clemency diverted in toto
from the governor to a deliberative
commission vested with full author
ity.
In a recent public statement, tor
mer Governor White outlined his rea
sons for so sweeping a change as fol
lows: 'In my opinion our governors should
be relieved from the arduous duty of
investigating, considering and decid
ing on applications for pardons, com
mutations, reprieves and restoration
to citizenship. The work and respon
sibility should be vested in tribunals
especially equipped by training and
fitness to undertake this important
laborious work.
"It is physically impossible for any
governor to perform his other con
stitutional and statutory duties, have
opportunity for study and reflection
on great public duties and at the same
time give apt attention to this line
of work.
"Each year the need becomes more
apparent from a moral, economical
and sociological point of view."
There are a great many good points
about ex-Governor White's plan and
some day some such plan as his may
be generally adopted over the entire
country. No doubt most governors
would gladly welcome relief from the
throngs of pardon seekers that now
beset them.
good record there will be further hon
ors for him. Two years from now
eastern Oregon will need a congress
man and Rusk is showing himself to
be well fitted for promotion.
The death of Paul Morton shows
that even "Captains of Industry" must
"show the white flag" like , other
mortals.
When some people observe the ways
of legislatures they become stronger
supporters of the initiative and referendum.
Why not use that surplus money In
the water fund in constructing u
mountain water system?
Now we are getting some eastern
Oregon weather again and local grip
sufferers should recover.
THE PLEASURE OF WEALTH.
FOR A NEW HIGH SCHOOL.
After listening yesterday to state
ments from members of the school
board regarding the inadequacy of
the present high school the Commer
cial association managers voted to en
dorse the action of the board in tak
ing up plans for building a new
structure. As the Commercial asso
ciation represents the business inter
ests of the city this places the ap
proval of local business men and
property owners upon the action of
the board. It is another step towards
securing an Improvement that is un
questionably needed. It is plain that
Pendleton has reached a time when
decisive action must be taken if this
city is to retain its rank as a place
that supports good schools. It is en
ccuraging to note that local senti
ment is generally behind the school
board in Its move. Not a word of pro
test has been raised against the new
high school and there should be no
protest. The board Is not acting has'
tily in this matter. A new building
has been really needed for years but
action has been delayed because lo
cal conditions during the past few
years have been unfavorable for mak
ing costly improvements In any line.
(Indianapolis News.)
From Paris comes word that the
manufacture of "masterpieces" Is a
pretty well establish! industry In
that city. Mr. Henry Pike, a picture
expert says:
"It requires only six months to pro
duce a painting which it is impossible
for any one except a deep studont of
classic art to distinguish from one
that is genuine."
The people who buy such pictures
are American millionaires. And why
not? If the fraud can not be de
tected except by an expert, such a pic
ture is fairly safe in almost any mil
lionaire's gallery, unless he foolishly
calls in an expert, and even then it
may merely be one expert's word
against that of another. It Is all well
enough to avoid substitutes and to
insist on having the origkial In some
things, but why In' pictures when it is
admtted that the imitation will serve
any millionaire's purpose as long as
he does not know the difference? And
if he ever knows the difference It will
be his own fault.
Besides, it Is frankly admitted that
there are not enough genuine master
pieces to go around among our rap
idly accumulating millionaires. Every
one of them who even pretends to
put up the culture front must have
his picture gallery, and Just think
how bare those galleries' walls would
be If nothing but the real goods were
hung in them. To be sure, good mod
ern paintings might be had, but they
lack the charm of the antique even
of the imitation antique.
Furthermore, it Is to be remember
ed that a millionaire's opportunities
for having a good time with his mon
ey are limited. The rest of us,' of
course, have a good time by doing
occasionally the things that we can
not really afford to do at all. But
no such pleasure as this can be the
millionaire's. He can afford to do
anything any time. Thus such privi
leges as the rest of us envy become
with him mere dull, monotonous rou
tine. So if he can break It by buying
bogus masterpieces he should by all
means do so. He may even get some
entertaining thrills out of the discov
ery that he has been bunkoed, and
thus while he may not get his money's
worth in art there Is a chance for
value received in the way of emotion.
Moreover, while there may be a slight
feeling of annoyance at the thought
of the profit made by the French
dealer, it Is to be remembered that the
percentage Is always in favor of the
dealer, and In addition there is the
rather pleasurable feeling that per
haps the purchase of such paintings
is saving some struggling and de
serving artist from starving to death
Indeed, there does not seem to be any
loss from the start to the finish of
the transaction except by the million
aire, who, of course, expects to rise
to the bad when he has sat in at an
other man's game.

It is very unfortunate that any po
litical strife should have been aroused
over the matter of the branch asylum.
It is not a political question. In the
view of the East Oregonian there
would have been no strife had all the
parties concerned fully understood the
intentions of the present state board.
Now that the political features have
been fought out here's hoping for
peace. From this time on the branch
a-oylum should be a business propo
sition not a political Issue.
Pendleton Is In line m to secure two
long needed improvements this sum
mer a gravity water system and a
new high school. Neither Improvement
stands in the way of the other. ,As
pointed out yesterday by Postmaster
Brown who Is a member of the water
commission and also of the school
board, the new high school will in no
way interfere with the Improvement
In the water system. The gravity wa
ter system will pay for Itself.
THE ANTHONY MEMORIAL.
February 15 has been set aside by
the National Woman Suffrage assocl
ation to raise a fund for campaign
purposes, as a Susan B. Anthony me
morial. As this date Is the anniver
sary of the birth of Miss Anthorly, It
has been chosen to receive the con
tribution from the women of Am
erica, In recognition of their im
proved status and In grateful remem
brance of the fact that Miss Anthony
devoted her life to the" cause. Miss
Kate M. Gordon says of the proposed
memorial that no woman of America
can afford to miss this opportunity
to show her respect for the memory
of Miss Anthony. It is a debt of grat
itude, she says, and no American wo
man is exempt. The benefits enjoyed
through such efforts as those of Miss
Anthony, she enumerates as: Eco
nomic independence, education, nod
al liberty, property rights, equal guar
dianshlp of mothers and fathers,
equal pay for equal work. All con
trlbutions will be classified that in this
way It may bo' possible to know
whether a wage earner, a profession
al woman, a college woman and so
on, gave the amount. Every suffrage
club In the United States Is expected
to contribute. Dollar contributions
will be asked from professional wo
men. Including lawyers, ministers,
Journalists, doctors, actresses and col
lege women. A 60 cent contribution
will be asked from nurses, teachers,
stenographers and college students
Ten cents will be asked of store and
factory employes, while or women
generally the request will be to give
as generotiHly as possible.
