NO PARTISAN SPIRIT.

The East Oregonian is opposed TO
Jonathan Bourne for the United
States senate, not because of his poll
tics, but because of his unsavory rep
utaton. Were he democrat with
the same record, this paper would
hold him up to the public scorn and
advocate his defeat just as earnestly
at it does under present circum-
stances.
The East Oregonian supported
Judge Lowell for the office of United
States senator, not because he was a
republican, but because he was a fit
man for the place. 1t would have
continued to support him until the
polls closed on election day, had he
been nominated.
The East Oregonian flatters itself
that it is broad enough politically to
support a good man, no matter what
his politics. 1t harbors no partisan
spirit. 1t yields to no prejudice. The
best interests of the people it keeps
at its masthead at all times, and
makes this its only guide.
Jonathan Bourne was just as much
an unfit man for United States sena-
tor when he was a populist as he is
now, a republican. His personal rec
ord is his only disqualifying charac-
teristic. His politics is a secondary
matter. We're he democrat and un-
principled, he would be as far from
the East Oregonian's sympathies as
he is today.
The people are urged to look at this
matter in a non-partisan spirit. 1t is
a sacred matter to select man for
this highest law-making body in the
land. Bourne's record as a law-maker
and as a citizen at Salem, disqualifies
him from holding any sacred trust
with the people of Oregon again.

eastern drum.
In most religious ceremonies music
plays an important part. The people
of Cochin, China, reilly upon its sooth-
ing strains almost entirely to placate
their gods whom they suspect OF be-
ing angry.
Upon a propitiatory occasion the
inhabitants of village assemble at
the temple OF the god to be conciliat-
ed, and offer him their choicest tri-
butes of music. Horns, flutes and va
rious other instruments have parts in
this ceremony, until the god is pre-
sumed to be satisfied and removes
from the community the threat OF his
displeasure.

OPPORTUNITIES WAITING.

Andrew Carnegie said this week, in
a burst of optimism, that there are
as good opportunities yet left for
willing and industrious young men as
have ever been seized upon in the
past.
Particularly is this true in the
northwest. The East Oregonian can
reach out and put its hand upon
dozens of young men in Umatilla and
other eastern. Oregon counties who
are face to face with splendid oppor-
tunities for making headway in the
world.
The trouble is that most of us are
looking too high. We overlook some
of the best things in the world. We
expect wealth and honor to come too
soon and with too little effort.
Some of the simplest occupations
are pregnant with the greatest prom
Use. Some of the richest and best men
in Umatilla county began life as sheep
herders and pIowmen. The upward
climb has been slow, but it has been
sure. Opening before these boys of
% years ago was a promise no
brighter than greets the boy of today
In many respects the present day
promise is brighter and more inviting
because there is civilization and or
ganized society'all about the present,
while the past was chaotic and disor-
ganized.
Andrew Carnegie is rich and pow
erful and it is easy to understand how
he is optimistic. But he has had the
experience necessary to carving out d
fortune. His advice is not altogether
hollow and theoretical Young men
who are willing and in earnest can
take hope from his words. There are
truly many waiting opportunities be-
fore you, If you could only grasp
them and hold them. The little things
count. Every great fortune had a be-
ginning. There must be starting
point.
SO here in the virile west, filled
with its strong, rugged men and noble
and inspiring women, thrilling with
its untouched resources and glinting
with its splendid heights of promise
start in life humbly, at the foot of the
ladder, and ere they are aware, be
found at the top of the ladder hon.
ored, contented and famous.

FINED FOR WEARING FLAG.

When she whirIed her pretty fluffy
skirts, the Cornell boys out in the au-
dience caught a glimpse of their be-
loved college banner twined around
her shapeFy leg. and the chorus girl
i'm the Earl and the Girl leaped into
popularity with all save her indignant
stage manager, who was just prosaic
enough to fine her SIS. says New
York dispatch.
She was an automobile girl in the
show. and one of the best looking in
the chorus at that. 1t was in the first
act, and the students out in front
clamored for encores. The chorus
girls entered into the spirit of the
fun and some of them added stunts
that were rot on the regular program.
The flag sure scored a triumph, but
the be-flagged-legged girl was out
her weeks salary.

FEARFUL vOoDOO RITES.

1t is we'll known that the rites Of
voodooism are observed in Jamaica
and other West Indian islands and.
to some extent, among the negroes OF
the southern states. Pure voodoo
worship has the snake as its embodi-
ment of deity or supernatural power.
Many horrible practices, including
cannibalfsm, have been ascribed to
the followers of this faith.
In Jamaica, too, the East Indian
coolie still worships the god of his
native land, represented by queer
image, in front of which, book in

TO DEFEAT THE PEOPLE.

one of the greatest fights of the
coming legislative session, will be
around the initiative laws enacted by
the people OF Oregon.
THE CORPORATIONS ARE DE-
TERMINED TO REPEAL AND
CRIPPLE THOSE LAWS IF POSI-
BILE. STRONG DEFENDERS OF
THE PEOPLES SACRED RIGHTS
WILL BE NEEDED TO OFFSET
CORPORATION INFLUENCE AND
MONEY.
The politicians representing the
corporations will center their fight
against the laws enacted by the COM
mon people. Every effort will be
made to discredit and check the pop
ular movement for initiative laws.
The local option law will be cut to
pieces by saloon representatives If
ture by the people. An effort will be
made to secure a constitutional con-
vention in order to annul the initia-
tive and referendum law.
The politicians don't want popular
government. 1t spoils their jobs.
They want the sole power lodged in
legislatures because they are easier to
handle than all the people. They
want the sole nominating power
lodged in the convention, for it is
easier to handle 100 men than entire
county. For this reason an effort will
be made to repeal the direct nominat-
ing primary law passed by the people
of Oregon.
Able representatives will be needed
to support the people. The corpora
tions will have the best talent on the
ground that it is, possible for money to
hire. The people must depend upon
the plain honesty and patriotism of
their friends for support.

The women's hotel, known as the
Dolly Madison House, which was
started by a company Of ladies in
Washington for the use and occupan-

he a great success, and a number of
women who come to Washington
alone have been trying to secure ac-
commodatlons there. The rules of the
house prohibit the entertainment of
men except in the parlors. Cats and

PASSENGER TRAIN IN PERIL
CROSSING LA CROSSE BRIDGE

hundred passengers miracuiously es-

bridge. which had been improperly
closed after swinging for a passing
steamboat. was not in exact position
when the passenger train ran on 20 the
trestle The front trucks of the engine
struck the gap and the train ran for 100
The fact that the train was running
slowly was all that prevented a disas-
