UNEXPECTED ASSAULTS.

Because of its fight for better moral
conditions, the suppression of gam
bling, the regulation of saloons and
the removal Of dives from the city,
the East Oregonian has expected to
be abused, boycotted and injured in
every possible way by the saloons and
gamblers. It went into the fight with
this expectation.
The repeated personal assaults on
the office by gamblers who were sent
nv saloons to "clean out" the office
have been constantly expected. The
reD.ated messages sent within the
mast six months that the gamblers
pEould "get' the editor of the paper
have been expected and they, OF
-yurse, are able to carry out their
Gnrsats.
Repeated messages have been sent
10 the office that II the attacks upon
CE1e gambling profession were not
srr2ped that the "edtor would be
nzed," whatever that means. All this
1alE been fully expected. for those are
ylIae only tactics Of the saloon and gam
OITng business and are employed In
e1svy campaign for decency and bet
ter moral conditions everywhere.
Every man who enters fight
sxainst the saloons must expect these
Tactics. They have men in their EN-
vFgy and at their command ready t.
10 their bidding in any emergency
and no man can guard against sucf
E11.Iics at all times. Every man wht
stands for the right against organized
,zgr0ng must take the risk.

FEEDING THE DISEASE.

1t Is reported that the secretary of
agriculture is thinking or raising the
salaries of the crop report officials
in order to remove the temptation to
sell information. The attempt is like
ly to feed the disease rather than cure
1t.
Men are apt to increase their living
expenses as their salaries are in
creased and a man who in office ac-
customs himself to an expenditure
which he cannot afford out of office
is tempted to make money on the side
in order to provide against loss of po-
sition.
Experience shows that dishonesty is
as common (if not more comm on)
among well paid officials as among
the poorly paid. The Equitable graft
ers for instance were we'll paid-so
well paid that they seem to have lost
all sense Of proportion between serv-
ice and compensation.
The secretary of the treasury does
not receive any more than the secre-
tary of state although the former
handles hundreds Of millions while
the latter handles scarcely any money.
Must we raise Secretary Shaw's sal
ary7
What we need is higher standard
of official conscience. not higher sal
aries, and, incidentally, 1t may be re-
marked that it will be hard to make
officials regard office as a public
trust so long as manufacturers, rail-
road magnates and financiers are al
lowed to use the government as g
private asset in business.
II the instrumentalities of govern
ment are used to enrich favored inter
ests we must not be surprised II ad
mlnistrative officials become lax II
dealing with the public. Special priv
ileges granted by legislation breed dis
honesty in the executive departments

in the past, whose business has been
increased by free advertising and
friendly mention from the paper, yet
who are found on the level of the
divekeeper and the tinhorn, when the
genuine test of manhood comes.
The East Oregonian is not in this
fight for better morals and the sup
preston of gambling for profit or
notorlety, but because it is right. The
paper is a fixture in the community,
pays its share of taxes, boosts the city,
county and state, as we'll as the indi-
vidual business of every man in the
city, at different times, and yet when
it stands for the suppression of gam
bling and the purity of municipal
government it finds those whom it has
supported and benefited standing
aloof or openly allied with the saloons
in trying to put it out of business"
BY their tactics the saloons are
making prohibition votes at an enor-
nous rate. Unless the city council
raises the license and regulates them
with an iron hand, Pendleton will be
voted dry, in spite of all the combined
efforts to the contrary, People are
heartily sick of such domination.

men in respectable lines who are now

Hon. VIM. G. Hunter, ex-member
North Carolina Legislature, writes from
the Census Office Building, Washington,

"The greatest family medicine ever
discovered, in my opinion, which comes
from experience As well as observation,
is Peruna. The most common affiiction

I will not doubt, though all my ships
Mt sea
Come drifting home with broken
masts and sails;
1 shall believe the Hand which never
fails
From seeming evil worketh good
for me;
And though 1 weep because those
sails are battered,
Still will 1 cry. while my best hopes
lie shattered.

will not doubt, though all my
prayers return
Unanswered from the still, white
Realm above:
shall believe it is an all-wise Love
Which has refused those things for
which I yearn;
And though at times 1 cannot keep,
from grieving,
Yet the pure ardor of my fixed be-
lieving
Undimmned shall burn.
will not doubt, though sorrows fall
like rain,
And troubles swarm like bees about
a hive;
l shall believe the heights for which
l strive
Are only reached by anguish and
by pain;
And though 1 groan and trembte with
my crosses,
1 yet shall see, through my severest
losses,
The greatest gain.
l will not doubt; we'll anchored in the
faith,
Like some stanch ship. my soul
braves every gale,
SO strong its courage that 1t will not
fail
To breast the mighty unknown sea
OF Death.

Pe-ru-na is a Catarrhal Tonic Espe-
cially Adapted to the Declining
Powers of Old Age.

In old age the mucous membranes boz
come thickened and partly lose their
function.
This leads to partial loss of hearing,
smell and taste, as well as digestive dis
turbances.
Peruna corrects all this by Its specific
operation on all the mucous membranes
of the body.
One bottle will convince anyone. Once
used and Peruna becomes q lifelong
standby with old and young.

"I was for a number Of years a suf-

petite had failed me and my sleep was
not restful. had lost much In weight
and looked like very sick person. MY

say too much for Peruna and for what IL
has done for me."-E. Schoneher.
Pe-ru-na Contains no NarcoticA
One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in SO many homes is that
1t contains no narcotic of any kind. Pc
runais perfectly harmless. It can be
used any lengthof time without acquir-
ing drug habit. Peruna does not pro-
duce temporary results. Itispermanent

NATURE SPARES
The Stricken Rose From Grief.

What fortunate provision of nature
II is, that deprives the rose of mental
suffering; for how poignant would be its
grief to discover. in the height of its
blooming glory. that canker fed at its
heart. and that its beauty and fragrance
were doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering; she is vertabo
store-house of pleasing rewards, for
those who seek her aid. In the years
gone by falling hair and grayness have
cast gloom over the lives of thousands
of young women. but thanks TO the In
vestlgations of scientists the true cause
of hair destruction Is now known to be
a germ or parasite that burrows into
the hair follicles. Newbro's Herpicide
absolutely destroys this germ, thus
permitting the hair to grow as no
ture intended. Sold by leading drug
