Yoakum, president of the board ot directors of the Chicago, Rook Island & Paoiflo Railway Com pany is one of the few broad minded men at the head of transportation .affairs in this oounty. OVIr. Yoakum deals with the present-day conditions of railroading in a way quite different from Harrimau, Hill et. al. and his pre pared remedy for existing conditions will make the Great Northern and Union Paciflo magnates sit up and take notioe. He says: "I will be frank. The people are not without justification in their belief that the railroads have been system atically robbing them. It is not alto gether fair to put it just that way, but neverthelessjhe putlio has for years been paying out a gieat deal of money for something it did not always get." Those outside of railroad circles who have given utterance to similar expressions have been characterized as demagogues, radicals, extremists and even socialists and anarchists. Bnt Mr. Yoakum goes even further in his "demagogy." "No one," he says "is to blame for the present anti-railroad sentiment, but the railroad managers themselves." Mr. Yoakum says, frankly, that in his belief, the day of reckoning which has come will prove a blessing, not only to the nation, but also to the rail roads ; nor does he consider that any I 1 The Great Sale Will Continue for a Few Days.

Listen to his remedy: "I am not in favor of government ownership of the railroads. I do not believe that under our existing political system it is practicable; but I do be lieve in the ownership of the railroads by the people. ' If every man who held property along a line of railroad held an interest, however email, in that line, and its control was in the hands of the men whom it was built to serve, instead of in the hands of a clique of manipulators, the railroads would be run for benefit of a new kind. Owner ship by the people I would couple, as I have said, with strict federal supervi sion of rates. No railroad honestly operated need fear any federal oontrpl that may be imposed." Here is a dootrine, says the Atlanta Constitution, which a few years ago would have been denominated the very essenoe of populism, and yet it comes today from one of the foremost rail road managers in the United States. Athena was represented at the Pen dleton horse show with only a few head of horses, but the stock ranks among the best in the Inland Empire. Flattering notioes appear in the Pen dleton press calling special attention to Athena stook, one saying: "Though one of Mr. Barrett's horses is but a colt and has only been driven a lew times, the team was very generally voted to be the handsomest span of double drivers in the parade. Athena was well represented at the show and carried off her share of the laurels." The Co-operative Commission Com pany has been stirring up things eo lively in Kansas City that the old com panies have inaugurated a boycott on the Co-operative Company and refuse to sell cattle to any packing house that patronizes the Co-operative Company. It will be recalled that the Co-operative Company was started up by the stockmen who protested against paying the increased charges made by the old commission houses. Th e Co-operative Company is owned by the stocK grow- Rebuilding PENDLETON CRGW1KC BUSINESS Ui EASTE8K OREGON era and it is to them that the packers must look for their supply. It is not thought that the boycott will in any way affect the new company but will serve only to make it stronger. Stock men have realized that they have been paying most of their profits of the middlemen and they have decided to discontinue this method of being held up. Athena will entertain visitors on at least two occasions this year. The seventh annual picmo of the Umatilla County Caledonian Society will be held here May 24 and 25; and the an nual colt show some time in June. No mention of a Fourtli of July cele bration has yet been made. CADDISHNESS OF MR. STEAD. if. . - William T. Stead, the English editor and adjuster in chief of international complications, has orowded into his present visit to this oountry so many insults and nasty flings at the Ameri can people whom he holds in contempt that small regret will be felt when he steps aboard his ship and sails again. Stead is a wonderfully energetio busy body, and has poked his nose into every world happening of auy importance within the past two decades. He is of the same school as Henry James, only that he is even more anti-American and sensational. Fifteen years ago Mr. Stead visited Chicago in search of material for self exploitation and the result -of bis oursory glanoe at the Windy city was a book that was never muoh of a suo cess, for the good and sufficient reason that it was not worth reading. This time he came aoross the Atlantic to regulate the affairs of our peace con ference, and because he was not per mitted to draft the resolutions, or for some other equally trivial reason be played the baby act and turned the vials of his wrath against the Ameri can people. One of the first things Mr. Stead did on his present visit was to assure a company of women that the Amen oan men do not respeoot women, iney treat them like children." He added "Surface courtesy is not true chivalry. And that is what the Amerioan man offers to American wpmen. Suppose a pretty woman approaches a group of men and announces that by adding two and two sidewise she ha9 demon strated that the sum is five. Do they call her an idiot? No. But a person who had real respect for her would tell her that she was making a fool of ner self so that she would discontinue the exhibition. Beautiful reasoning this. Of course under similar ciroumstanoes the ohivalrous Mr. Stead would call the woman an idiot and chuck-beaded fool. Although Mr. Stead has been ao corded the courtesy due an honored guest in this country he has demon strated that he is an ignorant and nar row minded boor, and America will tie well rid of a supercilious cad when he leaves.
