KEEP THE OLD WOULD
DANCING.
Nothin' about the solemn' ones
That ever la entrancing
Give us the lively music
Which keeps the old world
dancin'.
And we'll dance by night
And dance by day.
Till we dance the dream
Of life away.
The very stars In the heaven
above,
Upon us mortals glancln'
In the kind and Joyous light o
Love
Forever more are dancin'.
This be the chorus -
By night and day.
Till we dance with joy
The world away!

The idea that the government
should operate the Alaska coal fields
and should operate coasting vessels in
connection with the Panama canal
will be classed by some as radical.
Such suggestions will be regarded by
Plutocracy as socialistic and there are
people who will tear their hair and
moan at the very thought of govern
ment operation of anything. Pluto
cracy does not want the public at large
to profit by the gifts of God. They
want the Morgans, the Guggenheims,
the Goulds and others to get the bulk
of the earth's riches and for the rest
of humanity to kiss their toes in or
der to get the necessities of life.
But Plutocracy is not going to man
age the affairs of this country all the
time and the Ideas of Judge Lowell
regarding the development of natural
resources are going to prevail. If
they do not prevail at the coming el
ection they will In time.
Judge Lowell also advocates presi
dential primaries, a banking system
free from Wall street domination, di
rect election of senators, gradual as
sumption of express and telegraph
business and several other reforms in
line with advanced political thought.
Judge Lowell's platform shows that
while he may not be a radical he is
j a very courageous sort of a pro-
gressive. In this respect the platform
j reflects the man. The Judge has al-
j ways had abundant political independ-

ence and courage. Xor are these his
only good qualities. He is one of the
most upright public men in Oregon
and an orator of more than state wide
renown.
Surely these things will count for
much when the republicans of the
state vote upon their senatorial can
didates next spring.
In the declaration of his candidacy
for United States senator Judge Low
ell says he Is a progressive but not a
radical. In other words he Is a pro
gressive with a balance wheels. Oth
ers who hold views very similar to
those of the Judge express themselves j
by saying they favor radical action J
but believe In bringing about such
action through safe and sane methods.
It is quite evident from Judge
Lowell's platform that he is not a
standpatter. He has some very ad
vanced Ideas upon political and econo-
THE CHANGE OF A " CENTl'ItY.
It was just one hundred years ago
that the first white men burst through
almost Impassable barriers into the
section of Oregon now embraced
within the four boundaries of Umatil
la county and what a transformation
has been written since that memor
able time! Tbe century which has
rrlled by has seen the first intrepid
trailbreakers followed by the pioneer
settlers, who with their descendants
ard successors, - have developed the
broad acres which met the eyes of
Wilson Price Hunt and his party from
the top of the Blue Mountains into
the most productive wheat land In the
west; it has seen the old Oregon trail
with its long succession of prairie
the west has been united with the
east by bands of steel; it has seen the
waters of the Umatilla river, which
had for ages run unmolested on their
way to the infinite ocean, diverted
from their natural course and spread
over barren land and it has been this
land transformed thereby from a deso
late expanse into a verdant area of
lurries and small farms; it has wit
nessed the metamorphosis of the In
dian, from the free, untamed savage
from which Hunt bought horses as
food for his starving men, into peace
ful residents of allotted lands who arc
gradually assimilating the ways of the
white men and thereby nearing a
state when they can take their places
as citizens of the nation which con
quered their own; all this has the cen
fury seen and much more that is as
wonderful.
Befitting the centennial of the dis
covery of this country was the meet
ing Saturday at which was organized
a historical society 'for the express
purpose of delving into the past, se
curing all Information obtainable up
on the different stages of this trans
formation of a land from a wilderness
to a garden, and carefully preserving
it for future generations.
Pendleton, like all other sections of
the northwest, is feeling the icy grip
of Jack Frost. Lest citizens in the
discomfort which they now feel wall
overloud, let them be reminded of the
infrequency of such occasions as this
and enjoy the novelty of the cold
weather while it is with them.
A good, modern apartment house,
or several of them, are needed in
Pendleton and should bring good
rentals.

Oregon.

ideas with clearness and courage. to the realm of things primitive as
For the ancient query, "What Is a
democrat " It may soon become fash
ionable to substitute the question.
'What is a party?" The assertion is
given pertinence by the growing ten
dency of the American press, without
regard to affiliation, to concede the
Insecurity of traditional party bound
ary lines, and the inevitable appear
ance of new ones.
The Constitution long ago describ
ed American politics as being in the
melting pot stage. Since then, the
substance of the illustration has been
frequently advanced by papers of
every political complexion.
Now comes the Cleveland (Ohio)
Plain Dealer, independent-democrat,
with an analysis of conditions in the
republican party virtually trailing The
Constitution's diagnosis:
"The whole republican situation is
a confusing welter. There are the
cut-and-out progressives and the out-and-out
'Btand-patters,' though these
latter are rapidly growing less bold
In announcing and labeling them
selves. But the practical politicians,
most -of whom would be 'stand-patters
unless they saw utter rout ahead
for any army that marches under the
'stand-pat' banner, are flitting hith
er and thither, wondering where to
alight, abandoning or getting ready
to abandon the old ship, poignantly
anxious as to the future, ready to ad
opt any means to save their vacation."
The plight of the republican party
is infinitely worse- than that of the
democracy. As a matter of fact,
while there is a line of cleavage
within democratic ranks the party as
a whole Is freer from dissension than
in sixteen years.
But with the republicans, it Is a
case of confusion worse confounded.
Even the stand-patters, as The Plain
Dealer intimates, are getting ready
to 'abandon the old ship." . Presi
dent Taft is holding together the
semblance of his party by sheer force
of possessing the machinery, and all
indications point to his renomina
tlon at the next republican conven
tion. But the organization is itself
in a state of that hopeless demorali
zation that precedes disintegration.
When and where and how the final
break is' to come, is a matter for "con
jecture solely.
. Within a very few years, we shall
see an entirely new political real
ignment in this country, with label
chiming more truly with conviction
than it does today. When that time
comes , the south will be in position
to assert an actual voice in national
councils to which her commercial
and Industrial Importance and Inde
pendence so richly entitle her. Atlan

SPOKANE BUYERS OF HOME
PRODUCTS TO HAVE FEAST
Spokane, Wash. One of the most
unique dinners ever served in Spo
kane will be given January 10 at tho
Spokane hotel, when the annual meet
ing of the Buying-at-Home league of
Spokane will be held. The only edi
bles will' be those grown or made at
or near Spokane. The viands are to
be served on dishes manufactured In
this city and the cigars will be "Flor
de Spokane;" but these things are
trimmings to complete the "piece de
resistance," which consists of foods
produced by the Spokane country.
The dinner will prove a surprise to
many of the guests as it is unlekely
that even the best Informed among
them as to he resources of the inland
empire enjoy full knowledge of its
capacities to spread the table with
home arown dainties all ih
