jbeg the pardon of its rea lers for one
j m intake it has made

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

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. Reported fa

On February 1st Senator Notting

be recalled from the house, and this
motion prevailed. President Selling

in open session, but after the
close of the session President Selling

thus taking It away from the com

a favorable report and on February
8th that committee reported the bill

That I can pity czars and kings

Eut we could NEVER do without
The Little I'og Next Door.
He comes to visit us some days
(Oh, days of utter bliss!);

And tells how sweet he is.
He grabs our lacework tablecloth
And turns the teacups o'er;
A charming little pet, in troth-
The Little Dog Next Door!
But still, I thlnkre love him best
When he is left. alone,
Locked In, and from his soul-distressed
Emits his tuneful moan.

He squeals, and squeals some more.
If he were ours we'd LOVE (to kill)
