CLJMMINS IN. ONE MORE FLING
AT ANTI-REVISIONIS

ton sufficiently In detail to have made
up their minds concerning particular
schedules, but the people have arrived
at the general conclusion that the pres
ent tariff is in many matters oppres-
sfve and unjustifable.
Were there state of competition,
unqualified and unrestricted, within
the tariff walls that competition could
be trusted to reduce the price of many
articles to an American level But com
petition in many productions no longer
exists and the tariff enables the trusts
which control such productions to
keep the price to the consumer level
with the high-water mark of the GUS
toms duty.
Thinks President Favors Revision.
II believe the President himself rec
ognizes the demand for tariff revision
and believes in the Justice Of it. But
he does not believe in going up against
a stone wall. imagine he considers
that the tariff is really a matter for
congressional initiative and that If
congress is not disposed to enter upon
the subject of tariff revision there is
no use of mis- antagonizing congress by
urging what it will not consider.
Il hope that the pressure of public
opinion for tariff revision upon the COM
ing congress will prove SO strong that
the republican leaders will consent to
revisal of schedules. The argument
that the tariff should not be tinkered
with out Of fear of disturbing business
is absurd. since 1t means that the re-
publican party should never touch the
tariff and that the tariff should not be
touched until the republican party is
defeated and the democratic party
comes in.
II believe in the republican party.
I believe the people favor republican
policies. / believe the people through
the republican party will insist upon
tariff revision. wish the tariff re-
vised by it's friends and NOT by it's
enemies. If not now, then soon, tariff
revision must come"

From Fridays Daily.
The following article appears in this
mornings Chicago Chronicle:
II have small hopes of tariff re-
vision by the republican party in the
newly elected congress-" said Gov
ernor Albert B. Cummnis of Iowa at
the Auditorium Annex yesterday after
noon.
"The reason for my skepticism," he
continued, is the fact that the lead
ers, not the majority are committed to
the stand pat policy Speaker Can
non and his lieutenants in the house
of representatives are all pledged to
keep the tariff as it Is. They can not
be expected or be depended upon to
revise anything"
r Governor Cummins got upon his
feet and spoke with great earnestness.
quote me as saying that if the re-
publican congress refuses to revise
the tariff, then republican congress
men in the next election will be com
PEELED to face the issue before their
constituents and to declare whether
they are for or against revision before
being nominated.
Il do not say there will be bolt in
the republican ranks. do not believe
there will be, and 1 will not allow my
self to contemplate such a possibility
But do say that the question will be
fought out in the republican party pri-
maries.
Keep Tariff in Background.
"The railroad interstate commerce

THAT there is popular demand for

he has sent to the board Of inquiry,
which will consider his controversy
with Bishop Talbot In 1t he says he
is willing to waive canonical restric-

to the public. Continuing he says:
Though the amazing spectacle will
manifest itself to you and the world
that there are three men of central
Pennsylvania on the board who are
perhaps committed to the fact of up.

evidence may be, am ready to ap-

Drs. Jones and Israel and James M.

"The Rev. DIR. Jones was a member
of the standing committee of central
Pennsylvania, to whom Bishop Tai

me, concocted by the bishop and Mrs.
Emma D. Elliott, and his vote advised
the bishop to proceed against me.

WHAT PENDLETON Is DOING.

Sixty-five thousand dollars spent by
Pendleton in the past year Ior new
SCHOOL buildings and ca 'irment AMI
$4,000 to be spent in the next year
ments, is not so bad for the education
al and spiritual side of Pendleton, after
all.
One hundred new dwellings in the
past 16 months, and every one of the
six largest mercantile firms occupying
double their former floor space in the
past 16 months, is a record that all
may be proud of.
These are some Of the things that
are being done by Pendleton. We are
proud TO tell the Portland merchants
and business men about it.
And then we are doing other things.
The Commercial association has jump
ed from a handful of members, to
strong, virile. vigorous organization of
over 200. 1t has added 100 per cent
to its floor space and purchased $1,000
worth of equipment for gymnasium
and library.
More wool was baIed. more wheat
ground into flour and more mutton
shipped from Pendleton this year than
during the year before.
More money has been deposited in
Pendleton banks and more farmers
have moved to town to educate their
children than during last year, and so
the movement is forward and upward.
Everything is hopeful. Even with
the Lewis and Clark fair tugging at
the purse strings of the country, Pen
dleton business institutions did an
enormous business this year. More,
in many instances, than ever before
during the summer months.
The tributary territory surrounding
Pendleton is increasing in wealth each
year, and consequently is increasing ir
potency as a business builder for the
city .
More carloads of merchandise have
been unloaded in the city this fall thar
ever before in one fall, and there are
more people ready to buy it than evel
before.
The city is just entering her best era
Irrigation, stockraising. manufacture
ing, and all the arts which form thu
basis of the city's life, are growing

The business barometer Is pointing

THE GUARDS ASLEEP.

The wholesale shipment of Ameri-
can girls into China to become slaves
in the harems of manda1ns, illustrates
the audaeity. power and persistence Of
lawlessness.
With all the police powers of the ma
tons guarding the commerce and in
tercourse of the world. With Chris
tianity and reform crowding into the
fartherest haunt of barbarism. With
teachers and preachers risllng life in
the wilds of savagery. yet this nefari-
Gus traffic assumes gigantic proper
tons under the very nose of all these
powers organized for good.
The guards of civilization are asleep.
But this broader international illus
tration is seen in miniature in every
community. Wrong and lawlessness
and vice are found crowding their way
into the very heart of the community
life. Men who should be above it, em-
brace wrongdoing and give it pass
port into the best society and make it
appear respectable by their indorse-
ment.
So the mandarins who are purchas-
ing American slaves for their harIms
are no worse than men who sell the
virtue of the community for money.

operation necessary. So bringing the
people together is the first step toward
development and betterment,
The hopgrower from Eugene and In

Athena and Helix are interested in
better transportation and marketing
facilities, but being strangers, they can
accomplish but little until they are
brought together and made to UNDER
stand the situation and means neces-
sary to securing the end. SO a good
acquaintance. an intimate. cordial,
reciprocal friendship, is the first step
in their program for betterment.
This is but an illustration, but it il
lustrates fully the situation. Ignor-
ance of conditions and misunderstand-
ing of public questions cause more
friction and delays and misapprehen-
sions and losses than any other agen-
cies that retard and hinder progress.
So good broad acquaintance is
the first thing to get.
Then if things are not all right you
can get something else to help make
them right.
But get acquaintance first.
For this reason, all meeting and con-
ventions and Journeys and talkfests
are good
