position. There is no conflict in the
matter. but there is a disposition to
undertake only one big thing at a
time. There is nothing of more i'm
portance from a sanitary standpoint
than the thing of the irrigation
ditches running through the city. 1t
is estimated that the cost of keeping
in repair the numerous bridges and
-culyerts over theseNditches would
in a very short time amount to more
than the portion the city may pay
on the cost of ,tiling.

Their are too many petty. childish
personal fights in the Democratic
party OF. Chaves county, Hinkle is a
good Democrat Richardson is all
right; Gatewood is dyed in the wool,
| Atkinson is all wool and a yard wide,
| Charlie Ballard is loved by the whole
party, Lucius .Dills trots all the gaits.
| Captain Poe is a conservative sensi-
BILE man, Fred Beck is a worker.
| Judge Bateman is the e thing,
| Neighbor Gayle is a true type. Major
| Howell's record is clean from his
youth, Smith Lea is a Missourian,
| so we might go on pointing out good
Democrats in office and out-all good
men. but some of them have a crouch
while others like Smith Lea or Neigh
Dor Gayle, appear to always be in a
good humor with everybody. Let's
all get together and be friends.
| The Arizona Gazette says the eagle
is the national bird, but the ostrich
is the Arizona bird. And another Ar
izona paper arises to remark: "The
ostrich Is the bird which sticks its
head in the sand, elevates its gable
window to the breeze, and thinks it
Is hid; and this is the Gazett's con-
| ception of a bird for Arizona" And
doesn't the attitude of some Of the
Arizona papers toward the cause of
statehood prove c~onclusively that the
| Gazette chose better than it knew in
the selection of the ostrich? Take,
for instance the editorial drivel
which those papers have printed
about their own superiority to the
people of New Mexico, and you will
find that IL there ever was an unmis-
taxable and unclothed gable end ex.
posure, they have made it, and with
their heads in the sand--AIbuquerque

Pushing the Primary Pledge.

> Bryan's Commoner, published at Lincoln Nebraska, mas
for over a year been making a campaign for the organlza-
ton of the democratic party by the rank and file.
According, to the terms of this plan every democrat IS
asked to pledge himself to attend all of the primaries OF
his party to be held between now and the next democratic
national convention, unless unavoidably prevented, and to
secure q clear, honest and straightforward declaration OF
the party's position on every question upon which the yot
aters of the party desire to speak. Those desiring to be en-
rolled can either write to The Record approving the OBJ
iect of The organization and asking to have their names en-
tered on the roll. or they can fill out and mail the blank
pledge, which is printed below.
The Record will, after making a list of the names for use
in forming a Democratic Club mail the pledges to Mr.. Bry-
ans paper.

small farms, network of good roads,
and n place of homes, schools and
country settlements of the highest
standard.
This ideal should be encouraged by
the people of Umatilla county. In
stead OF concentrating the land in a
few hands, 1t should be more widely
distributed. Homeseekers should be
invited here by the opportunity Of
fered for making a home. The coun-
try needs more families. The county
is losing its best blood by the depopu-
lation OF the country districts. Va
cant farm houses, unused roads,
abandoned, school districts and post
offices should give place to a renewed
activity in the country districts
The Umatilla County Development
league should begin campaign to
re-populate and redistribute the i'm
mense farms of the county by urging
the owners to sell to newcomers and
thus build up. instead of depicting
the population of the county.

oREGoN'S PIONEER BISHOP.

Ripe with years and rich in accom-
plishments, Bishop B. Wistar Morris,
who for the past SO years has been
bishop of the Episcopal church of this
state, has gone to his reward.
Like a ripened sheaf, laden with its
golden grain and ready for the har-
vest, this noble man has answered the
call of his Maker. There is nothing
sad in such a death, except the leave
taking. The weary worker has earn
ed his rest. The machinery of right
eousness and good morals which he
started in the western wilderness, is
moving in honor to his name and la
bors. The lessons he taught go on
reverberating through the present
generations better sentiments, and
the great foundations of church life
which he laid deep and strong, are
now grown into temples of exquisite
beauty and sublimity.
Compare the Oregon of ~ years
ago. which greeted this young minis
ter just entering his life work, with
the completed fabric which he leaves
after half a life time of service, and
it will be easier to judge the value of
such a life, to the state us well as to
the church.
Then there was no railroad, no tel
egraph, no telephone, in the eastern
Oregon counties. Settlements were
few and far between, the country was
filled with adventures, wildly driven
by the lust of gold.
Churches and religion were con-
fined to the Willamette valley and
all the great states of Oregon and
Washington, outside of the few coast
colonies, were practically wilder
nesses.
Bishop Morris undertook the task
of Christianizing this great wild ter
ritory. and for SS years his labors tc
this end have been unceasing. Church
after church sprang UP at his COM
mand. as his indefatigable labors pro-
vided the means. Town after town
was made to feel the touch of his elo-
quence and the keen incentive of his
enthusiasm. and with his word as a
magis talisman, the two northwest
states have been dotted with church
organizations, schools, hospitals and
other noble institutions which will
stand as living monuments to the
memory of this good and powerful
man.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-04-09
PLACE THE RESPONSIBILITY.

Really, is it not a travesty on JUS
tice to have it said of oregon that
such men as Jack" Matthews and
Frank c. Baker, as managers Of cam
pains. should be permitted to defeat
the equal suffrage movement
If the party of which these men
have been campaign managers We're
not afraid of the decent votes which
would come from the ranks of the
noble women of the state, why has it
always fought equal suffrage?
Compare the splendid, intelligent
womanhood of oregon to either of
these campaign managers. Compare
the votes which would come from the
ranks of the women. with the votes
controlled in Portland by the man
ayers Of these political campaigns!
Are you proud that you are one of
the organization which mas elevated
the Jack" Matthews and cast down
the noble women of the state?
When future generations look back
upon Oregon with pity that it should
have kept women in the category
with idiots and criminals, there should
be no doubt as to who was RESPONSE
BILE for that condition.

TENACTTY OF LIFE.

The most remarkable instance of
the tenacity of life under desperate
conditions is that of the survival for
many days of a number of the en-
tombed miners at Courrieres France,
The disaster which wrecked the
coal mine occurred on March 10. On
March 80 13 men, looking hardly hu-
man, worked their way out of the
mine, having been entombed all the
intervening time in foul air and dense
darkness, subsisting on the flesh OF
horse. Their appearance was like
that Of the dead arising from a tomb
that had long been closed and sealed
Astonishment gave place to JOY and
joy to anger at the engineers who had
charge of the work of rescue, in that
these wretched, reeling. living skele-
tons were not rescued earlier.
And now comes another and even
greater surprise in the form of an
other man being found and brought
| alive to the light and air after living

SILENCE.

There are some qualities-some incor-
porate things,
That have double life which thus
Is made
A type of that twin eternity which
springs
From matter and light, evinced in
solid and shade.
There is a two-fold silence-sea and
shore
Body and soul. One dwells in lone
ly places,
Newly with grass o'ergrown; some
solemn graCes,
Some human memories and fearful
lore,
Render him terrorless: his names
mo More"
He is the corporate silence; dread
him not!
No power hath he of evil in him
self;
But should some urgent fate (untime-
ly lotD
Bring thee to meet his shadow
(nameless elf
That haunteth the lone regions where
hath trod
No foot of mani. commend thyself to
God!
Edgar Allen Poe.

THE WONDER OF THE WEST.

The wonder of the west, which first
attracts the homeseeker from the
crowded middle states is the immensi-
ty of western farms.
They can scarcely believe that one
man can handle from 1000 TO 1000
acres of land. as is the case in Una
tilla and other eastern oregon coun-
ties. and in many counties in eastern
Washington.
They come from a land of 40, 60,
so ana 1OO-acre farms. In the mid
die states the land king Of the coun-
ty may possibly have 800 acres in one
body. but that is an enormous hold
ing. except in rare cases.
In Umatilla county the ordinary
farm consists of a section. More
than half Of the farms in the wheat
belt consist Of over a section. and a
large part Of them consist Of over
1000 acres.
In the north part of the county one
man is farming" $500 acres. For
three miles you may drive over his
plowed land-all Of it good land. and
see not a house anywhere. He keeps
a tent stretched in a sheltered can
yonAo protect his ranch hands from
the storms. and for 10 months in the
year this great body Of rich wheat
land which should be supporting a
family on every half section. at least,
is desolate as the desert. There are
no improvements. no school houses,
no postofnces. no good roads. no good
farm houses to enliven the view
nothing but the vast fields of wheat
owned - one man who perhaps lives
in town and visits it once a year.
This age Of big farms must pass
before UmatilIa county will enjoy her
best fruiuon. Settlers must swarm in
the country districts. before the coun-
ty comes into its best period.
The population Of the county is de-
creasing year by year as the small
land owners sell out to their neigh
bors and go TO Alberta, Texas and
other places offering Inducements to
settlers.
With proper farming methods the
light land Of Cmatilla county will
produce excellent crops. With rota-
ton Of crops it will produce some
thing every year. With more live
stock. more diversity. more close ap-
plication 10 the side lines of farming
such as poultry, hogs, dairying, fruit.

LET WOMEN VOTE.

We have been frequently asked to
express our opinion as to woman suf-
frage, and while it may have little
weight, we give 1t herewith, gratis:
Let the women vote If they want to.
Not one sound argument can be urg-
ed against equal suffrage. As usual,
the female anti-suffragists haven't a
i limb to stand on. If woman is
so busy with flirtations or other in
nocent amusements that she hasn't
time to cast ballot, all right. No
damage done. Those who want to
vote. however, should not be denied
the privllege.-Prineville Review.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-04-09
TELLER Defends WOMEN.

There is no truth in the report that
equal suffrage has worked much mis-
chief in Colorado and that it has de
graded the women and lowered the
standard of public morals" On the
contrary, it has been entirely satisfac-
tory to all of those who desire to i'm.
prove the present condition in Amer
ican politics. Doubtless there are
some women who have not a high
sense Of responsibility in exercising
the right of franchise, but l believe
that a far larger percentage of wo-
men than of men are actuated by
high motives in this and other duties
and that time will prove the wisdom
of granting women an equal right
with men at the polls.-Senator Tel.
Ter.

OF waking life; the streets We're

With country wagons. and a bird
