Frank L. Stanton.
WHERE DOES HE STAND NOW?
In the move to have the overhead
vires placed underground in the bus-
tress section the progressives have a i
right to expect sincere and active
upport fiom Mayor E. J. Murphy.
.
When Mayor Murphy was elected
'
to his present office a vear and a half
ago he was distinctly the progressive
candidate. He was the man who
atood openly and strongly for the a&-
ancement of Pendleton and the bet
terment of civic conditions. There
were grave doubts as to the other
man's position.
Mayor Murphy's strongest asset in ;
kis campaign was the fact he stood
out as the candidate who was free
from entanglements with the electric
company and the Pyers milling company.-
There were particular reasons
at that time why the people did not
want to elect a mavor who was In
any way under the thumb of those
corporations.
Mayor Murphy stood forth as the
people's candidate and his campaign
was based chiefly upon this fact. Ho
had the earnest support of the East
Oregonian for this reason more than
tor anything else. Scores of people
Toted for him because they believed
him truly independent of corpora
tion influence and he was chosen to
ffke by an overwhelming vote.
Now it so happens that t:.j con
troversy regarding the overhead wiresldieton let it be hoped It has
i: a straight up contest between the
forces of progress in Pendleton and
torponuion selfishness on the other
tide.
The removal of the wires Is a civic
Improvement that has long been
needed and demanded. The wires and
poles should go because they are a
biotch on the face of the city and
for the still greater reason that the
wires are a menace to the lives of
people in times of fire. The expense
of placing the wires underground will
fall upon the two corporations af
fected and those corporations are well
able to stand the expense in view of
the revenues they der've from the
people of this city. Some expense, It
is true, will fall upon patrons but as
the East Oregonlan understands the
matter this will be so light as to be
scarcely worth considering.
The move for the removal of the
aires and poles is now on in full
. blast and within a week or two the
latter wiil be presented to the may
r anj city council for decisive ac-
Hon. When that time comes people i
are going to have their eyes upon '
thMr nffi,.ini r,,i ..in r.f win, !
interest ine auuuae oi eacn inai-
riduai.
There is especial interest in
probable attitude of Mayor Murphy
te-cause people still recall the hot an 1
titter campaign of December, 1909,
which resulted In his election as the
progressive candidate. Will he stand
ow as he stood when a candidate
for office? Will he be with the pro-
tr'fUtu and for the interests of the!
pop!. or will he be found training
with the reactionaries and the cor
porations? HIE WTT.EY CASE.
Attorney General WIckersham
enough to drive the Taft admlnlstra-
.. . ..I
Hon upon the rocks without the aid
tf anyone else. The latest piece of ;
strategy on the lurt of the head oi
the department of Justice was a move
t i oust Dr. Wiley, chemist in the de
partment of agriculture.
Because nr. Wllev paid out a few
undred dollars Jn fees to an expert
who assisted him In fighting theus
ers of bencoate of soda and other In
jurious preservatives his enemies are
alter him and Wlckersham has tried
tv assist them.
Apparently it matters not that
Wickersham himself has paid out fah
lous sums to attorneys who have been
assist'ng in trust prosecutions or in
Muffs along that line.
It is now announced that the presi
dent will not remove Dr. Wiley but
will reprimand him. It will be typi
cal of the president to take such ac
tion. He seems strong on removing
or reprimanded those who take the
jside of the public welfare as opposed
! to private greed.
Once upon a time the president
fired a man named Pinchot and a
nan named Glavis because they held
: the Cunningham claims were illegal
!ni:d an attempt to steal the public
domain. Not long ago the courts de
icided rinchot and Glavis were right
atout the matter. But we have heard
j nothing yet of any apologies being ex
tended oy the president to Messrs
; Pinchot and Glavis.
RESERVATION PATENTS.
Wire it not for the fact the com
petency plan Is in operation the ex
tending of the trust period for the
Umatilla reservation would have a
iiuua iur luiiiiiy. -eopie nave Jong
been loking forward with hope to the
time when the reservation may be
m..re closely peopled and settled. It
is the finest portion of the county and
i virtually without population and
development at present.
The extension of the trust period
tc the year 1924 will have the effect
of delaying the time when all the al
lotments will mature. However,
with the competency plan in oper
ations Indians who show themselves
capable of looking out for their af-
! fairs may get the patents at once.
i So under this nlan the jrantin nf

patents will proceed gradually and

DON'T BLOCK IT.
Should the paving of West Court
and East Alta streets be held up the
proceedings will come as a blow to
the city. Those streets need improv
ing and need it badly.
The blocking of the paving of these
streets will also make It look bad for
the recently enacted street improve
ment amendment. The amendment
was adopted at the Instance of the
city administration and the argu
ment was put forth that the amend
ment would foster improvements.
Should the paving of Court and Al
t,i streets be blocked through the re
monstrance of people living on the
side streets it will look like the am
endment is working oppositely from
v hat was intended.
Eut perhaps the size of the remon
strance, has been over estimated. For
the sake of a more progressive Ptn-
The Sunnyside man who committed
suicide by Jumping Into a cool well

Now we are all in danger from the

Perhaps the conditions have chang

here.
War clouds in Europe are about on
a par with sea serpent stories at sum

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY SKETCH.
Mrs. Matilda Cox Stevenson, who
has achieved fame in the government
service as an expert on Indian lore,
U "considerably over forty" today.
During the greater part of the year
she lives on a ranch about 25 miles
from Santa Fe. Here she studies the
Indian and then systematizes results
in her reports to the bureau of eth
nology. Mrs. Stevenson is a daughter of the
' late Alexander Hamilton Evans, a
brilliant lawyer of Washington in
ante-bellum days, and a first cousin
f Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans.
I KhA HprJimo Intoreatorl In arlant if in

hood, because her father was inter
the ! ested in scientific, subjects, and when
! she married James Stevenson, of Ken
tucky, a scientist then connected with
the Smithsonian Institution, her vo
cation in that honorable career be
came assured. Mrs. Stevenson was
educated at a school in Philadelphia
quite famous in Its day, but now al
most forgotten, Miss Anabel's Acad
emy for young ladles.
After her marriage to the late Mr.
1 Stevenson she began a systematic
! study of all branches that would pre
pare h-r to aid her husband In every
branch of his work. Mrs. Stcsvenson
has devoted nearly 25 years to the
scientific investigation of the Indians,

Swollen glands about the neck, weak eyes, running sores and
abscesses, pale, waxy - complexions and frail, poorly developed
systems, are the most usual ways in which Scrofula is manifested:
In some cases the blood is so filled with the scrofulous germs that
from birth the disease shows its presence. In other cases it is held in
check during young, vigorous life, but when the system begins to
weaken, especially after a spell of sickness, the disease will often
manifest itself in some form. S. S. 5. is Nature's perfect -sure for
Scrofula, made entirely of healthful roots, herbs and barks, a perfectly
safe medicine for young or old. S. 5. S. gees into the circulation, and
drives out all scrofulous matter, and supplies the blood with the
healthful, vigorous qualities it is in need of. In this way it builds up
weak, delicate persons and makes them strong and healthy. S.S.S.
cures Scrofula because it is the most perfect of nil blood purifiers.

SONGS .OF NIGHT.
The moon swings low in the sky above
and the twinkling stars shine
bright,
And a mother sings to her baby those
wonderful songs or night;
Those wonderful songs of sugar plum
trees and fields where the fair
ies play;
Of cockle shell boats on golden seas
that never are seen by day.
It Is by-low time nd she sweetly
hums those wonderful songs of
night;
Of the blare of trumpets and sound
of drums whfn the little tin
soldiers fight.
She sings of the comical candy dog
and the gingerbread man who
stands
By the side of a blinking cooky frog,
without any arms or hands,
And the moonbeams dance on the
parlor floor, and a ship sets
out to sea
And a baby sails for the golden shore
in search of the sugar plum
tree,
She's off to the cave of Tiddy Bear,
and the haunts of the fairies
kind,
Where never an ache or a pain or care
shall trouble her baby mind.
Oh, sweet is the smile on the baby's
fuce as she softly sings to rest.
For where in the world is so fine a
place to sleep as a mother's
breast?
And if ever a song can reach the skies
the angels must find delight
wond-rtul songs of night.
In hearing a mother's lullabies those

that the effects of a celebration bur

probably not worth living after all.
Besides being subjected to the stom
