Here is a pretty bit of optimistic
philosophy, inspired by so ordinary an
occurrence as the daily sunrising:
did, you know the sun rose every
morning? There are many persons
who do not know this important fact
or. IL they DO know. they do not act
accordingly. These persons carry yes
terday's burdens and successes around
with them to-day. They would be
better off if they carried only to-day's
burdens and successes and failures.
The failure Of yesterday should be for
gotten, because they disheartcn us Cor
to-day. The successes OF yesterday
.should not DC remembered, because
they win weigh against the lager pos
sible successes of to-day. TIE burd .
ems of yesterday should have been
buried yesterday. That IS one mean
ing Of the sunrisinG. II shuts of yes
terday. The sun rises as fair AMI
bright and new this morning as though
st had not risen anew every morning
OF these COCO years. II bfings a rev
day wsth new opportunities new dudes
and new possibilities. Yesterday Is
shut OF from to- day by the eurta.n Of
the night and the sun rises in the
morning 10 usher IN the new day. There
are men IN this town who are gray
with the burdens Of yesterday when
they might be buoyant with the bright
ness OF to-day's dawn They hav,
forgotten that the sun has risen"

BENEFITS OF SOCIALISM" "

Only a few months ago the price Of
gas in Seattle was $50 per 1000 feet.
Since the installation of municipal
electric lighting and power plant, the
price Of gas has been reduced to so
cents per 1000 feet.
The result is that the municipal
ownership vote in Seattle is climbing
upward al a rapid rate.
This is a fair illustration of the
benefits Of municipal ownership in a
typical modern city. Seattle is like
other cities. Corporations are as ava
ricious there as elsewhere, and mon
opoly takes every advantage there as
elsewhere.
And it is plain to be seen that pub
lie ownership results in a saving to
the people even where monopoly is
strongly intrenched and where pub
lie officials are tied up to the corpor-
ations in every possible way.
The difference between $3.50 pei
1000 feet and 50 cents per 1000 fee
is the extent Of the excess charges OF
the Seattle gas trust. If the trust car
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-05-24

furnish the public with so cent gas
now, why did it not do so before it
was confronted with the peoples
municipal light plant? Why was it
not satisfied with fair profits then?
Why do corporations of this kind op-
press the people after having been
granted franchises to do business?
This sort of robbery is making votes
for the municipal ownership move
ment. The lesson of Seattle will be
impressed upon the minis of western
people. 1t is an Illustration near
their doors.
When you think of municipal own
ership just remember that it has
saved the citizens and home-owners
of Seattle over so per cent in their
light and fuel bills. This memory
should change hundreds of votes.

three times this week, on Thursday

such a lifelong service can render to
humanity, how many wrecked lives

COST OF BAD MANAGEMENT

1t is a favorite republican campaign
cry TO call attention to the cost of
trials in cases where democratic Of
ficials have been involved remotely.
The Davis trial in this county and
other trials of a similar character in
Oregon are sweet morsels of political
capital for a few thoughtless parti-
sans.
Applying the same argument, let
us look at Oregon for an instant. Both
her seats in congress are vacant, one
of her senators died under sentence
to prinson and a hundred thousand
dollars will not cover the expenses of
the land frauds trials brought about
by corruption of republican officials,
under republican administrations
And yet the republican party in gen.
eral should not be and is not blamed
entirely for the misfortune which ii
has brought upon oregon.
The East Oregonian regrets that II
is necessary to call attention to such
facts, but as an Independent newspa-
per it is at liberty to answer unjust
charges on either side.
It is significant that Governor
Chamberlain. a democratic governor
took the initial steps to rid Oregon o1
her corrupt practices.

Walter Pierce, who is a candidate

at least American born. He is not a
