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.

. 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,

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.

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

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

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.

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.

it becomes stale?
You need not say where you goi it, but between you, us and

this morning at eight o'clock after In
tense suffering. The funeral will be

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

, 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

deal collapsed, however, and the con
sequence was that the Lelter fortune
was depleted by several millions of
dollars. The late Lady Curzon,
