PENDLETON CITY HALL.

When Pendleton is ready to build a
city hall on the property just pur
chased for that purpose. modern
building equipped with every con-
venience and comfort should be erect
ed
It should not only be city hall-a
home for the city officials and a stern
hall of justice. but it should be a
home for the people of Pendleton. 1t
should contain large assembly hall,
a library room. committee rooms, a
room for a historical and Industrial
exhibit. and. in short, should be a
spacious. welcome. inviting resort and
public home to which, the people Of
this city might be proud to take their
friends and to which the citizen may
direct the stranger with pride and
pleasure.
This Is the one opportunity i'm Pen

WHEN WOMEN VOTE.

There will be no revolution in home
or family circles when women vote
in Oregon. Colorado and Wyoming
Idaho and Utah have as happy and
contented homes as Oregon and
Washington, and women are not drag
ged out to the polls and forced to
vote. Those who desire TO vote may
do so and those who do not may re-
main at home.
Women are invading every field OF
industry, the total number of women
employed in the different commercial
and Industrial pursuits having in
creased marvelously within the past
10 years. This invasion Of business
circles by women is an additional
reason why women should be allowed

THE ONLY ISSUE.

The only great public question at
issue in this campaign in Oregon is
the question of Statement No. l, or
the popular election of United States
senator's. Men and politics play but
small parts in the campaign. The
people are demanding a reform in the
method of electing United States sem
ators. 1t is a great principle and is
not dependent upon any individual
candidates nor upon any party. but it
is a public question which reaches
outside of Oregon.
Oregon has been disgraced in the
past by senatorial elections and dead
locks. These have been made possi-
BILE because the fundamental law of
the land is wrong. 1t smacks of roy
atty. of house of lords, of titled aris-
tocracy, to take away from the people
the power to select their servants. a
United States senator is just as much
the servant of the people of Oregon
and of Umatilla county as the most
Insignificant justice of the peace in
any country district.
Therefore the people should select
those servants directly and thus elm
mate the corruption of senatorial
elections.
The East Oregonian believes that
the legislature should be bound to re-
spect the wishes of the people. 1t
believes that every man elected to
the legislature this year should be
pledged to statement No. l, which
binds him to vote for the peoples
choice for the United States senate.
Can a public servant do any less
than respect the will of the people
Will the people elect men who will
not so pledge themselves? If the will
of the people is not supreme, what
sort of a monarchical form of govern
ment is this?
Public sentiment is so strongly in
favor of this principle that it seems
that candidates could scarcely dare tc
go before the people oil any other
platform.
In Umatilla county are 10 legisla-
tive candidates. OF this number siN
have signed statement No. L, and foul
have not. Those who have signed are
Walter Pierce and DR.. c. ]. Smith
candidates for the senate, and j. 7
Lieualien, C. A. Barrett, William
d. Chamberlain, and Cecil r
Wade, candidates for representative
Those who have not signed it are T
j. Kirk and DR.. w. G. Cole, candi'
dates for senator and William Slushel
and Claud Steen, candidates for rep
resentative.
1t is a great principle and means
the salvation of the government. The
United States senate as at present
elected and managed is serious
menace to liberty.

EDUCATES THE INDIAN.

Many thousands of Indian children
in Oklahoma and Indian Territory
have been educated by means of the
"Drexel millions" large portion of
which has for years been devoted to
the cause of Indian education by
Mother Katherine, formerly Miss Kate
DreNel. Of Philadelphia, sister of John
H. DreNel, banker and sugar magnate,
and closely related to the others of the
same name who have made it famous
in the world of finance.
1t was Mother Katherine who start
ed the Indian school at Chilocco, which
has now been taken in charge by the
government, and made the principal
Indian training school of the south
west. The two schools at Pawhuska,
in Pottawatomie county, are also
monuments of her bounty.
She keeps in close touch with her
work, and visits the Oklahoma schools
in which she is Interested at least once
year. She is usually accompanied
by her sister, who is also deeply inter-
ested in the work, and who heartily
approves IT, in common with the other
members of the family. All of the
millions she has expended for Indian
! education have been employed under
! direction of the interior department
as her long study of the Indian prob
lem is recognized to have made he.

THE Booster claims that Greeley

pressages reform in republican
politics. How they can hold this

the position by Evans, and may
be expected to obey his every

used to tie Whitford's hands and
in these there are some hopes for

PEELED to crawl on their hands
and knees, so small was that por-
ton of the tunnel in which the
men were found.
After the debris was washed in
upon them the men could have
lived but few moments. Thomp-
son and Mather had undoubtedly
taken refuge from the rain in the
bore, not thinking of the awful
fate which awaited them in the
cloud burst on the mountain above,
and when the great storm bore
the debris into the tunnel there
was no alternative. They were
doomed to death.
The tunnel in which they were
found was worked last summer.
The officers Of the company little
thought that they would be found
there. as it would seem the melt
ing snow would have carried suf-
hcient debris to have closed the
mouth OF it long before Thomp-
son and Mather started out. How

this page we print a rather ex-

give this letter publicity to illus
trate what our great leader does
when he observes just what we
are struggling with in Colorado.
Bryan never plays policy. With
him the question is what is
right" That settled, his course is
marked out. He speaks truly all
the way through these letters and
we hope his example.will be fol-
lowed by Colorado democrats.
Possibly if we do right we may
win. but it matters not. To win
by cultivating unholy alliances is
to lose. Bryan is good leader

MY Dear Judge-If the effort
to induce Mr.. Sullivan to resign
from the national committee fails,

lowing message to the Democrats
of Illinois.
"You live in the largest of the
western states, and must play an
important part in the work which
lies before the Democratic party.
You can do little to advance
Democratic principles so long as
you permit the most fundamental
of these principles. namely, the
right of the majority to rule, to
be violated. Mr.. Sullivan was
selected as national committee
man by delegates who were not
chosen by the convention. AS he
was one of the leaders in the high
crimes and misdemeanors COM
mitted against the Democracy of
Illinois, his refusal to resign can
not be attributed to ignorance OF
the facts, but is proof pos tive of
his unhtness for the place We
are about to enter upon a cam

appeal to the people and ask the
confidence of the nation. | do
not know how you, the Democrats
of Illinois, could better open that
campaign in your state than by
demanding his resignation. Let
it be known that you insist on
honest politics within the party,

CHICAGO, july ol.-JudSe Owe"
P. Thompson. of Jacksonville, ILL.,,
announces this afternoon that in
letter dated July II, William J.
Bryan requested that Judge
Thompson call upon Mr.. Roger
Sullivan with message from Mr..
Bryan, requesting that Mr.. Sulli-
van, in the interest of harmony,
resign as national committeeman
from Illinois. Judge Thompson
says he saw Mr.. Sullivan and de-
livered Mr.. Bryan's message.
Mr.. Sullivan declined to resign,
as requested.
Judge Thompson thereuPon
made public a letter from Mr..
Bryan, declaring that National
Committeeman Sullivan holds the
office by fraud and that it is i'm
possible for honest Democrats to
associate with Mr.. Sullivan as a
member of the national commit
tee.
Mr.. Bryan's letter is as follows:
THE TRossAcHs HOTEL, Loeb
Katrine, Scotland, July II.
JUDGE o. P. THOMPSON, Jackson
vile, Ill.
my Dear JUDGE am going
to intrust you with message to
Roger Sullivan. If | were at home
| would see him myself, but as |
do not arrive until after your
state convention, and as | think
action ought to be taken at once,
| will send the message by you.
please say to Mr.. Sullivan,
that he has expressed desire for
harmony, and that | assume that
he means to help the party to the
extent of his ability, but there is
but one way in which he can pro-
mote the harmony, and that is by
resigning as national committee
man. We are approaching another
national campaign, and our
party's chances all depend upon
its ability to convince the public
of it's good intentions.
"Mr. Sullivan's presence in
committee contradicts all that we
can say in the party's behalf.
His corporate connection would
harm the party far beyond his
power to aid the organization, but
this could be left tor some future
convention to deal with if he
we're actually the choice of the
Democrats of Illinois.
The fact, however, that he
holds his Office by fraud and
against the express wishes of a
majority of the delegates to the
state convention makes it impos-
sible for honest Democrats to as
sociate with him as a member of
the committee. If we do not
maintain the right of the majority
to control party policy and select
the partys' representatives, for
what can we contend? The fact
that Mr.. Sullivan has spoken
kindly of me, enables me TO dis
cuss the matter without risk of
having my actions attributed to
personal malice. but he ought to
see that l would be unworthy of
anyone's confidence if | failed to
protest against his continuance
upon the committee, either to
conciliate him or out of fear of
his hostility.
There is room in the party for
all who honestly favor Democratic
principles, but the leadership
must be in the hands of those
