THE tXST MIST DKTF.ItMINE.
An interesting controversy is on
in Portland just now regarding
freight rates to Portland, Astoria and
Puget sound. The progressives led
by the Journal are urging the claim
of the Columbia river points to lower
rates than are awarded Seattle. The
Oregonian takes the old time narrow
view of the question and opposes the
scheme Just as it opposes most other
moves for advancement. It will
Healthful Hospitality
"Elbert Hubbard has denned true hos
pitality as "the gentle art of making
folks feel good," and the shortest road
to a man's heart being through his stom

largely in providing palatable, whole

this end, the shortening medium used
plays no small part Cottolene makes
food that accords with all the principles
of hospitality. It makes things crisp,
short and palatable, and wholesome and
nourishing as welL Food cooked with
Cottolene makes you feel good and
makes you keep on feeling good. .

One year ago opened it's doors in Pendleton and is the busiest store in the city today. Why
shouldn't it be, when the cash buying power of the gigantic Golden Rule Syndicate of 33 big
busy stores enables us to buy better merchandise for less money and in most instances enables us to sell

lint, on the other hand, you will always find a clean, up-to-date stock of seasonable and wanted merchandise awaiting you at the GOLDEN RULE STORE.
Competitors Who Tried to Follow Us Are Now Calling For Help
As we have often stated before, the GOLDEN RULE STORE is past competition in Pendleton and any one store that tries to follow us, price for price and quality for quality, will sooner
or later be owned by its creditors. T , . , . , . , '
All we ask is a comparison. When the questionable hot air sales are on you will be told in glaring headlines of so-called sensational savings. Jiut gentlemen, they are only a bait and should
always Ikj taken with plenty of salt. The people of Pendleton have become tired of those hot-air events. They have learned that our regular prices are lower every day of the year, that we givo them
only honest merchandise and that WE ARE HERE TO STAY.
THE GOLDEN RULE STORE
come Into line after the fight has been
w on.
The argument for lower rates -for
the Columbia river points la bused on
the fact that the cost of service to
the Columbia river Is lower than ti
the sound because the freight hauled
to the sound must ro over a moun
tainous grade. The Journal would
sive Astoria lower rates than are
Siven Seattle and contends that
Portland should then e given an
even .lower rate than Astoria because
of the shorter haul.
It Is a very logical proposition and
the advocates of that plan will ba
vindicated if in fixing freight rates
the interstate commerce commission
allows nature to take its course.
There is only one Just way for the
commission to flic freight rates and
that is on the basis of the cost of ser
vice. That Involves "consideration of
distances, grades and perhaps other
features. Since the, haul to Port
land and Astoria Is along a water
grade it naturally follows that freight
may be hauled to those points cheap
er than to Puget sound and the rates
should be lower accordingly.
Fy the same reasoning It can be
shown that with reference to trans
continental freight towns In eastern
Oregon and Washington are entitled
t: lower rates than are any of the
coast cities. The cost of service
Crom Chicago to Pendleton Is plain
ly less than the cost of hauling
freight to Portland or Seattle. The
policy of allowing railroads to grant
low rates to terminal cities is wrong,
ii: principle. It is nothing but fa
voritism. It is not Just to allow such
rates on the theory of meeting water
competition. When water competiti
on is met in that manner it Is met
at the expense of inland points. It
also subjects steamship lines to un
fair competition. It Is inconceivable
that such a policy will 'be allowed af
ter the regulatory machinery of the
government gets into good working
trim.
AID THE GROWER TOO.
The following editorial from the
Atlanta Constitution deals primarily
with the cotton industry but It is re
produced here because the ideas set
forth apply equally -well to the wheat
business.
The senate committee on agricul
ture the other day ordered reported
favorably a bill the enactment of
which would be a far step In redress
ing an immemorial wrong upon the
cotton grower. Framed by Senator
Smith, of South Carolina, It provides
that the director of the census, in
connection with the ginners" report of
cotton production, shall publish the
foreign and domestic consumption of
cotton of American production,, the
surplus held by cotton manufactur
ers of the United States and the ex
ports. It would have been tetter had the
measure included statistics of con
sumption of cotton wherever pro
duced and foreign as well as domestic
mill stocks. In this way only could
complete Information be gained of
the cotton-status throughout the
world, and the government has suffi
cient International machinery at its
disposal to assure at least approxi
mate accurace In such an undertaking.
re told that a store could not run
t . 1 1 I 1
A beginning has been made, how
ever, and that Is something.' For
years past the census reports and
the agricultural ' department ' have
scrupulously kept the world Informed
as to the volume and quality of the
crop at its every stage, playing Into
the? hands of market manipulators
and to the detriment of the farmer.
The latter has been handed few or
no compensatory features. He . has
not for instance, been given any of
ficial data of the dimensions of
world's consumption, armed with
which he might have kept his acreage
within reasonable bounds and been
encouraged to make sacrifices to hold
his output until prices reached the
level indicated by demand.
In other words, the farmer has
been growing his cotton In complete
light and selling It in absolute dark
ness. The anomaly is so unjust and
Indefensible that the wonder is It
should not long ago have been dis
sipated. With broadening amend
ments, the Smith bill should be made
law with the least possible delay.
WISCONSIN KNOWS.
If the sentiment in Wisconsin Is
any Index to the popular feeling re
garding Governor Woodrow Wilson
the New Jersey man will prove to fce
by great odds the popular choice for
democratic nominee for president. In
Wisconsin the opposition to Wilson
concentrated on Champ Clurk. The
Harmon headquarters, were closed
some time prior to the primary and
no fight at all -was made for Under
wood. But even with the allies con
centrated against him Governor Wil
scn won out in Wisconsin lay more
than a two to one vote. The final
returns from the democratic primary
show that Wilson received a total of
34,000 votes while Champ Clark drew
but 16,000. Wilson is the choice of
Wisconsin people and Wisconsin
knows a progressive when It sees one.

Selling of Portland. A circular let
ter sent by Mr. Selling to the voters of
Oregon contains this sentence:
He (Senator Bourne) Is Identified

This sentence makes Mr. Selling an
easy man to classify. Either he Is
