MOI Ell 10 VOTE.

Recently two business men % this
city. both of them Republicans, were
engaged In conversation. when one ask
ed the other which party he pronosed
TO support So the coming campaign.
This was the reply: III there are two
tickets 1 shau sndeavor 90 see which
promises to bou The greatest number
Of votes, and ] shall support that" He
remarked that he knew Of many men
who feel the same way.
Isn't that remarkable admission
for ma4 90 Intelligence 70 make?
And IL 1t is true that there are many
others like him doesn't o show the
need Of missionaries? When man
casts his ballot the presumption Is that
he votes his sentiments. If then he
declares Ia advance that he has no sem
timents but 20 be counted with the
majority he Is not NJ TO be entrusted
with the ballot. II becomes dam
gerous playthng IN his hands.
We have no sympathy with Bryan
ism; we regard the single tax theories
as utterly lmpracticahle and reyolu-
tionary but we have more respect for
the man who believes IN them and who
will stand up to be counted than for
the Republican who supports a party
only because 1t promises success.
A man who lives in a republic has
certain duties. Among the highest of
these is TO employ his judgment and
his conscience IN casting his ballot.
And that is not mere beautiful the
ory either. For when the majority
becomes corrupt and Indifferent. the
government ceases to be something to
prize and becomes burden and a
curse.
An honest man is a Methodist. a
Jew, or a Catholic because he believes
IN a certain system Of religion. He
should be equally honest in bis pollti-
cal faith and conduct II he is not. b,
should have the ballot taken away
from him and he should be governed
by those who understand what IRE,
Institutions mean and what duties the,
impose.

New Castle Man Has Peti-
ton Which Came From
the Philippines
FESTIVAL WAS A SUCCESS
speciai to The Evening journal.

Special to the Evening Journal.
New Castle. June William Deakyne,
Of this city. has an interesting document
bearing on the Philippine war and one
which was regarded with considerable in
terest by five persons at one time.
The paper is a typewriter petition to
an American commander in charge IN the
Philippines in 1899, asking that five native
Fihplnos, who had been taken prisoners
by the Americans, be released. The petit
tion goes on 20 state that the prisoners
were non-combatanfs and the husbands of
the Eve women who We're asking for their
release. The request was signed by the
women vino claimed that the men had
been captured while at work in the fields
and that their absence was causing great
hardships on the part of their families
who depended on them for support.
The petition had been referred through
several departments and finally returned,
with the recommendation that Il be re-
fused. There Is nothing about It to in
dicate the fate of the prisoners or their
families or in anyway give an inkling as
TO what, II any, final disposition was made
of the case.

a decided answer.
The witness then recited the events
leading up to the cab ride the follow

much wrought up and told her he
wished she could go with him, but
knew it could not be. He said: "If
you don't come, it may be. months be-

Then the witness heard a report
and Young fell over in her lap.
To the direct question whether she

The coming to Pendleton OF Frank
James recalls an experience that
happened to A. Kunkel, local hard
ware and implement dealer, in White
Cloud, Kan, "a years ago.
II was working In a general mer-
chandise store at White Cloud, in the

Salem. Dec. 20.-The most import
ant business up for consideration be-
fore the state board of agriculture, is
the discussion and preparation of the
biennial report to the Legislature; the
election of officers. and the matter
of whether or not an attempt will be
made To hold a state fair next year.
The report will contain strong
recommendation to the legislature for
the appropriation of about $4,000 to
wipe out the mortgage which has been
foreclosed upon the fair grounds
property, to satisfy a loan from the
school fund 20 years ago; $500, spec
ial, to pay an obligation to Ladd &
Bush for money advanced to lay the
water mains at the grounds, which
loan was made necessary on account
of the governors veto of the special
appropriation bill passed at the last
session, carrying an appropriation for
that purpose; and an appropriation
of $4,000 to be expended I'm pre-
miums, In case a fair is to be held
next year.
Opinions are divided upon the ques-
tion of state fair in 1905, but the
consensus of opinion seems to be in
favor of the move. Financially, II is
not looked upon as a success, but II is
argued that 1t will be worth more
than what 1t will cost as an advertise
ment of the states resources.
The report of the last board OF ag-
riculture shows that, after all expen-
ses had been paid. there was pal
ance in the treasury TO the credit or
the fair of over $4,000. When the
books and accounts of the year 1sO4
had been opened. however. II was
discovered that since the issuance OF
the report for the year before, war
rants had been drawn TO cover the
whole of the balance shown, and that
there was not cent margin on the
credit side Of the ledger.

polygamous Witnesses Missing.

Washington, Dec. 20.-Apostle
John Henry Smith was recalled at the
opening of the Smoot inquiry this
morning to be asked whether 1t was
possible for Smoot to become an
apostle, or to be married for time and
eternity without having first taken
the endowment obligations, He re-
piled 1t was quite possible, but II was
his belief Smoot had been through
the endowment house.
United States Marshal Sherwood, Of
Utah, testified as to the difficulty or
serving subpoenas for witnesses for
the Smoot investigation. Many Wit
nesses had left the country Others
could not be located, All those whom
he failed to find are reported to be
polygamists and to have entered into
such relations since the manifesto.
The witness said polygamy Is rapid
