A number of newspapers here- !b..-jt., of which the Pilot Rock Rec ord Is one of the most di-tingulshed, n i . i , . - iiirituij, jThey seem to have grown tired ot jj.linging mud at the Ka.st Or-gonian. jOr elj-e their readers have grown I tired of it. I Eut if the noted journal of Pilot , Hock really wants to be fair it will jbeg the pardon of its rea lers for one j m intake it has made on numerous i occasions and which aprieared aeain li its last issue. It is an ln.-Inuatlon that Dr. C. J. Smith in some way has some control over the policies of the East Oregonian. Insinuations to that effect are un fair. They are unfair to this paper, to Dr. Smith and to the public. Dr. Smith has not the slightest financial Interest, direct or Indirect in this publication. He owns no stocks or bonds and never has. He Is not giv ing financial backing to anyone con cerned with the paper, and the report t that effect spread about for politi cal purposes only is a gross distor tion of facts. It often occurs that the East Ore fconian and Dr. Smith work alon the same lines. That Is because Dr Smith is a very public spirited citi zen and finds delight as do many other good men and as does this pa per in upholding the public welfare. That should not be an unpardonable r.ffence. But such support as the doctor receives from this paper does not come from the uxe of money. Money u not necessary and beside? the influence of M , '-"."""i oe. naa upon such a baii thai o . , t, u I oasis as thtt a fact to which many I mn fjin toctlf ir i ... . I - uiry uui care to i no so. If there know who I anyone who does not Own the East Oreo-onion they should enquire at the office and find out. There is no secret about it. This paper i owned and published by men who are under no obligations, financial or otherwise, that Impair the usefulne,, or Independence of tho paper. The attitude of the paper up on various questions should furnish thorough proof to thte effect. WHAT AllOLT IJE.V SELLING? (Elgin Recorder.) No man that beileve in Just treat ment of labor and decent hours of work should support Ren Selling, and in proof of thU we present a com plete history, so far as the record shows, of his actions regarding Sen ate Hill No. 60. It is not a question of unionism or non-unionism, but whether Americans shall be worked ten. fourteen and twenty hours dally. Senate Bill No. 60 was a bill for an aet to limit the hours of labor con stituting a day's work. The mill at Oregon City run twenty four hours the men working ten and fourteen hour shifts, in order to change shlfte one gang Is compelled to work twenty-four hours. Senator Dimkk of Clackamas county, havfng full knowl edge fof the facts, Introduced this measure to free the men from some thing worse than African slavery. It provided that mills running twenty four hours mu.-it work three shifts. The following is the history of the bill and .Senator Selling's connection with It, taken from the senate Jour nal: Klrst referred to committee on Industries January 26.

Presi dent Selling voting for the bill. On February 1st Senator Notting ham of Portland moved that the bill be recalled from the house, and this motion prevailed. President Selling voting for the recall, and on the same day a motion to reconsider was ad opted by the narrow- margin of two votea. President Selling voting In the affirmative. By rights the blll'should liave been re-referred to the committee on in dustries and waa In reality so re-referred in open session, but after the close of the session President Selling ordered the clerks to change the ref erence to the committee on commerce thus taking It away from the com mittee which had previously rendered a favorable report and on February 8th that committee reported the bill back without recommendations.

Oregon Journal) Henry Waldo Coe wants to be a delegate to the national republican convention. How would he stand on national reclamation? He Is now fighting extension by the federal government of the west Umatilla re clamation project. Dr. Coe was in the last national republican convention. In that bo"7, along with the other members of the Oregon delegation, he opposed and helped defeat a plank in the plat form for electing United States sena tors by direct vote. Would he again, i elected, use his powers to prevent the convention from going on record for direct election? The rank and file of Oregon re publicanism is cverwelmingiy for peoples election of senators. When Dr. Coe had a great opportunity to strike a heavy blow for people's elec tion, he struck the other way. A XEW GATE KEEPER. Charles M.

THE DOG NEXT DOOR. I find so many pleasant things About a city flat That I can pity czars and kings Who lack my habitat. I like the haliboy's haughty gall, The purse-proud Janitor, The rent man, too but most of all The Little Dog Next ioor.

Hot baths (when they're not cold); A new maid every week succeeds The one we had before; And then for our aesthetic needs The Little Dog Next Door. We could give up our telephone, Our marble entrance hall; Even our neighbor's graphophone We might not miss at all. The Dutch Band In the court, no doubt, We don't need any more, Eut we could NEVER do without The Little I'og Next Door.

He grabs our lacework tablecloth And turns the teacups o'er; A charming little pet, in troth- The Little Dog Next Door!
