FEIDAY, DICEMBER 4, 1908 Some are sowing the seed of word and deed, Which the cold know not nor the careless heed, Of the gentle word and the kindly deed That hath blessed the earth In Its sorest need', Sweet will the harvest be. , And some are sowing the seed of pain, . Of dire remorse, and a maddened brain, v And the starB shall fall and the Bun shall wane Ere they root the weedB from the soli again. 4 Dark will the harvest be. Selected. i . . . Former Governor i!. T. Oeer has sold the Pendleton Tribune and retired from the newspaper business. This is good news for the real publishers of the state, men who have chosen the newspaper work as a profession, and are seeking to elevate their calling in every material way. There is no personal ob jection to Mr. Oeer and he has the ability to make a good news paper, should he choose to do so,, but he is above all a politician , who has sought to make the newspaper a means of boosting him into office, and has. not' conscientiously devoted hmiself to the : work of the profession. Naturally he has failed to achieve suc cess and the Tribune is reported to be in a bankrupt condition, due to neglect, as well as to the fact that it was not a real news paper, but a personal organ. Newspaper publishing has come ; to be regarded as a field for business ability of the highest type, ...j.l i i .i j . j j i-: u t e i at r : T wiiu Luu uuucu respuumviiiby vi always pnubiug tuo uowts jaiuy . ana impartially ana commenting upon it eaitonaity nonestiy ana sincerelv. The editorial sanctum is no loncer the asvlum for broken down politicians and failures of cvory other sort; as was once the case. Newspapers are becoming more independent as thev are recnrvnizefl tn Via an Inrlinnpnonhlo nnncssit.v t.n modern 0 r j life. Their duty is primarily to give the news of the day in reada ble form, and to aspire to such standing with their patrons that "the statements of fact they may make will be unquestioned as ito truthfulness. It is a high mission and the man who enters the profession for his life's work feels his responsibility and willingly : gives up his personal ambition for political preference in order to do his full duty to the public . Men like Oeer do not succeed in ' the newspaper business for .obvious reasons. rr. - . ... i , The Berkeley (Oal.) Reporter, a strong Republican, paper, ' says: "There are few honest people in the United States, be they Democratic, Republican or some other sort of political ad. -herent, who. are in sympathy with the movement in Oregon for the members of the legislature pledged to Statement No. 1 under the initiative and referendum law in force in that state! to disre gard their pledge and elect a Republican to the United. States .senate in the place of Governor Geo. E. Chamberlain, who was the choioe of the voters.. A pledge is a pledge, whether made by an individual or a party, and the people who have promised to do certain things in the event of their election should meet the re quirements of their promise to the letter. The Reporter is of the opinion that the people of Oregon would be much better off wi.h a Republican to representthem in the United States senn but they have decided by their votes that they want a Democrat and there's the end to the whole matter. Let them abide by their -own decision." . We have no doubt, as Rockefeller and Archbold say, that the Standard Oil Company is a creature of evolution. . When it began its existence the Standard was a. very insignificant and harmless creature, but as it grew older and stronger, the ooto pus,' SoeUiiit' re'ngth and power',- reabbed' out and took about allHheVe was -in the world' worth having, to itself. Nobody, ob vJooU to the' Standard Oil, even in its present form, but they do Object to tho Standard's poouliar business methods. - ' ' " 1 1 .V Beautiful; also touching, is the imperial rescript issued by the emperor of Japan to his subjects, urging them to follow all the virtues except truth-telling and business honesty. His royal nibs evidently knows their limitation.' Nevertheless and notwithstanding, Senator Cummins, of Iowa, will have to progress some to make good, the advance ad vertising of his progressiveness. Now watch him progress. Stirely something ought to be done to show public apprecia tion of the unselfishness of the iron ore men iO stating that they could stand a cut of 16 or 20 per cent in the tariff rates. "Business women are rapidly displacing men" gloats a mag azine writer. Yes, we have noticed it. A?Q that they are v is .placing mothers and housekeepers q . Q The estate left by the late Joseph Bryan, a Virginia editor, is Valued at $750,000, but it may be well to add that lie did not make it in the newspaper business. .... "n tii. riowa ht;s fit to-irint the vday-it Are we to infer that some news is more fit for publicatoin after it becomes stale? You need not say where you goi it, but between you, us and the gatepost, the spiking of the big gun of the house is one of the advertised shows that will not be pulled off in 1909,O?bat ever may be done two years later. f BUY IT IN EUGENE. ...

OF SCALDING Floyd, the one-year old son of Fred CalHson and wife, who was badly scalded Wednesday by pulling a tub of boiling water over himself, died at the family home at the corner of West Eleventh and Lawrence streets this morning at eight o'clock after In tense suffering. The funeral will be held tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock at the residence, with Interment in the Pleasant Hill cemetery. ' The accident happened while Mrs. CalHson was doing the family wash ing. She had poured a boiler full of clothes and boiling, water into a tub, that was sitting on a chair and went out of the room. Little Floyd, who could not yet walk, but who was very strong for his age, In some manner tipped the tub over, the boiling suds streaming all over his body. , chant, who died In 1904. The young ;er iLeiter was educated at Harvard 1 University, where he graduated in ! 1891. After he left college he acted j as an agent for his father in some i of the latter's commercial enterprises. In the autumn of 1897 he came into public prominence In an endeavor to . "corner" the wheat market., He bought wheat on the Chicago board of trade to Buch an extent as to make him, at the beginning of 1898, the largest Individual holder of wheat in the history of the garin trade. His deal collapsed, however, and the con sequence was that the Lelter fortune was depleted by several millions of dollars. The late Lady Curzon, whose husband was the British vice roy in India, was a sister of Mr. Let ter and another of his sisters is the Countess of Suffolk. 1798- THIS DATE IN HISTORY."
