shows that the rich packing house
barons conduct scientific schools in
their establishments for the purpose
of killing the smell and taste OF rot
ten meat, to make 1t palatable.
Every form OF disease and corruption
is converted into prepared food and
sent broadcast to the innocent fami-
lies of the country.
Is It any wonder consumption, tu-
berculosis, insanity and other terrible
diseases are increasing in the United
States The horrible crimes which
can now be traced directly to the
doors of the rich packers are enough
to cause the people to arise in their
wrath and hang them without cere-
mony. They have planned and car
ried out under the protection of the
laws the most wholesale destruction
Of life. Their plans have not only
killed instantly, but they have in
fected families with slow death, lin
gering disease, terrible suffering
which will last Tor generations.
A set OF aristocratic fools OF New
York raised a howl against the i'm
portation of Egyptian mummies into
this country because tuberculosis
germs have been distributed from the
mummy dust
A shipload Of mummies would moi
scatter such havoc as one criminal
packing house. And yet these fools
who are bowling about the mummieS
take the murderous packers into theil
bosoms and worship them for theil
money and defend their great indus
tries" against the attacks of the news
papers and magazines.
No wonder the health Of the
American is being destroyed. No won
der the tenements are filled with mis-
cradle sufferers lingering in loath,
some disease No wonder asylums are
filled and strong families affected
with destructive diseases supposed tc
be hereditary.
We have licensed murderers living
in wealth and opulence. We allow
professional poisoners to defy this

THE CoNQUERoRs,

Who made it garden will make 1t

Or their sons. who are sprung of the
true bulldog line,
To link each brave year with the
brave Forty-nine.
on the anvil of Earth. with Fate for
the sledge.
The will OF the West got its temper
and edge;
No disaster can turn it. no grief give
1t stay,
For the will of the West must have
its way.
Though palaces crumble in ashes 9Rnd
dust,
The West has its will and its vigor
to trust;
And, quietly facing the future, is
filled
Less with grief over ruin that ar
dor to build.
Thus orchard and vineyard again shall
bestow
Their fruit of the sun on the city
below.
And again to the gate where the long
bay lies curled
Shall argosies fare with the wealth
of the world.
San Francisco again on the hilltops
shall stand,
Desired of the sea and beloved OF
the land,
More splendid, more certain more
true for the test.
Firm-founded forever in the heart
of the West.

SMITH FOR THE SENATE.

One of the most striking examples
of typical American development is
seen in the character of DIR. C. ].
Smith, candidate for the state senate
for Umatilla county.
DIR. Smith came to Pendleton 16
years ago. young man Just out of
college, without means or acquaint-
ances, but endowed with an indomi-
table will and energy. From the very
first day of his arrival IN Umatilla
county he entered into the spirit of
the west, allied himself with the high
est interests of the community and by
constant energy. unwavering integri-
ty, tireless industry and constantly
widening experience, has become one
of the leading figures in the state OF
Oregon today.
There is no other instance of typi-
cal American growth ana spirit in
eastern Oregon which compares to
that of DR.. Smith. Sixteen years is
but the beginning of life career, and
yet DR.. Smith in that time has served
his county, state and city in some Of
the highest offices in the gift of the
people. has won the confidence and
esteem Of his neighbors, regardless of
political lines, and is recognized in the
state as one of its leading public men.
As a member Of the state health
board he has been capaDie, watchful
and practical, and has aided in bring
ing Oregon to the very front rank
among the sanitary, states. As mem
Der of the state senate ne has stood
at the very head of that body, al
though in the minority party. AS
member of the Pendleton school board
he has been one Of the moving spirits
for progress and advancement and as
a citizen he is always found in the
very front rank with his money CON
tribution and his energy for the bet
terment of conditions and the i'm
provement Of the city and county.
Umatilla county will be extremely
fortunate to have the services Of Dr
Smith in the senate again. He hai
had experience, has already mad'
friends there, is in position to do goo'
for the state and county, and will b
elected by a nice margin. 1t is
compliment to the progressive spiri
Of the times to keep such men in pub
lie office

Wade, Lieuallen, Pierce and Smith
will make a strong team in the state
legislature for Umatilla county. Ihey
are all in favor of statement'No. J.
and will vote for the peoples choice
for the United States senate. This
cannot be said Of any other four can
didates in the field. They are all
democrats, but will vote for repuo-
lican senator if the people will 1t So
They are not afraid of the people
They believe in popular government
And they are making votes by 1t every

An independent newspaper receives
little encouragement in oregon. If
it supports a capable. clean, honora-
BILE man like Judge Lowell, his party
turns him down for some scapegoat
like Jonathan Bourne, whom all the
republican papers and republican
bosses read out of the party 10 years
ago on account of his corruption.
The partisan paper, however, is COM
pelled to swallow Bourne, filth and
all. and must declare that it is sweet
dose. or lose It's portion of campaign
loot.

during the night all were awakened
by a violent shock. That there had
been a terrible convulsion Of nature
there could be no doubt, as In the
morning it was found that an artesian
we'll had appeared in the bottom of the
coulee near by and was throwing
water fully 80 feet in the air. The
coulec rapidly filled, as did the ad-
joining depression of land, and a fair
sized lake now exists where there was
no water before. The new lake Is %
miles south of Swift Current.

THE CLIMAX OF CRIMINALITY.

Train robbers, thugs, highwaymen'
cutthroats who rob and murder one
person at a time, are white angels
compared to the packers, who plan
wholesale murder through poisoned
and putrefied fooIs'uffs. which they
send out for the innocent public to
feed upon.
The report Of the Investigations In
the packing houses printed in yester-
DAYS East Oregonian reveals one OF
the most startling conditions that can
be imagined in society. The report

1t will be a nice compliment to the

Roosevelt, one of the best presidents
ever to occupy that place, to send
Jonathan Bourne to the United States
senate. The president would much
rather oregon would go democratic
throughout, than to send a represen-
tative of Jonathan Bourne republi-
canism to congress. This kind of re-
publicanism is what Roosevelt is now
trying to kick out of congress. He is
sending its representatives 10 Jail, inn
posing fines upon them, chasing them
out of public office and otherwise
conducting a campaign against them
as rapidly as the machinery of govern
ment will allow.

KEEP TT Up.

The mass meeting at the Auditorium
last night in the interest Of decency in
Topeka and Shawnee county was a
good beginning. It showed that the
people-some Of the people-are in
earnest about overthrow1ng the Ring
that is ruling in Shawnee county poll
tics That is. they are in earnest about
overthrowing part of the Ring-the
most Objectionable part: The Schlitz
combine.
The general conditions in Topeka are
pretty well known, although the des-
tructive power OF vice Is probably not
realized by many. The State Journal
believes that the large majority of the
people of Topeka are in favor Of decency
and the supremacy Of law But the ma
jority does not always rule. The ma
jority frequently allows the minority to
run things For instance, the majority
allows the law-breaking minority to or
game the primaries, and when the law
breaking element is once in control of
the primaries the repeaters get busy.
Then no matter how many votes the
majority poll, the practical minority
will see that the returns show a. few
more for their side. It has been so be-
fore in Topeka, and it viii be so on
March 10 unless the Iaw-abiding ma
1ority gets down to business and plays
practical politics. Mass meetings and
resolutions can't win if the other gllows
control the primaries. You never hear
Of the Schlitz combine holding mass
meetings and passing resolutions In
stead it counts noses: 1t finds out whom
it can depend on; it has its supporters
on hand to organize the primaries and
take possession Of them when they open
and then the rest is easy
Mass meetings are a good thing as
far as they go. But to get results prac-
teal politics is better. If those in charge
of the movement viii make q list Of the
voters in each precinct, see that the law
and order supporters organize the pri-
maries. and then keep out the repeat
ers, the majority Will rule
