Would Brighten.

A fusilade of gun shots in Jack
son on Saturday night was the
cause of great terror. The shots
were fired in the neighborhood of
Judge Hargis, some of the bullets
striking his residence, others en-
tering the store of Hargis Bros.
The object, it is supposed, was to
brighten the Hargises. Hargis'
friends are worked up and say the
repeating of Saturday nights con-
duct, would elicit shooting from
the other side that will hurt.

BANKING INSURANCE.

The Oregon Daily Journal says of
William ]. Bryan's plan Of banking
insurance by which depositors would
be guaranteed:
William ]. Bryan's proposition that
the United States government should
guarantee the safety of all deposits in
national banks, and that the state
should similarly secure the depositors
in state and private banks, and that
the banks should jointly and several
ly reimburse the government for any
possible loss through such surety, is
nothing more or less than bank in
surance.
If insurance is a good thing to have
on a mans house, or his stock of
goods, or his life, then 1t is a first
rate thing to protect his deposit in a
bank. The political know-it-all who
INDUCES habit of sneering at all
suggestions that have any originali-
ty of flavor for the financial question
had better think twice before he
tackles Bryan's line of argument this
time.
The Nebraskans plan is so simple
and thoroughly practical that it is
wonder the original makers of the
national banking law did not incor-
porate it in the bill.
Had they done so, they would
have prevented every subsequent ma
tional bank failure that has been
brought about by loss of confidence
in the unfortunate banks inability
to pay The saying is a true one
that 'ff a bank depositor can't get
his money he wants it; If he can get
it, he don't want it."
Confidence is a purely mental atti-
tude that is impelled by the patients
thought regarding the banks ability
to pay. If he had a government in
surance policy covering his deposit,
he would know the bank would pay
and that in time of financial stress
the bank is the safest place for his
money.

OPPORTUNITY OF THE WEST.

"It is an i'll wind that blows no.
body good" The financial scare from
which the country is just beginning
to emerge has taught the public the
folly Of investments in inflated stocks
that are advanced or lowered in value
at the wish of the kings Of finance,
says Ranch and Range.
The investor in stocks has learned
through dear experience that today
he may be rich and tomorrow pau
per. His securities are non-produc-
tive and unstable as the winds. He
is at the mercy Of capricious gambl-
ers. who have no interest in the well
fare of the small stockholder.
The losses that the investor has
recently suffered has been a lesson
that he will not soon forget; he re-
alizes that he has been up against a
gamble and has lost out. He will be
10th to try it a second time, but Will
look about for a safe investment
where the principal can always be
had and where the increase in in
trinsic values must, from all logical
reasoning, be large.
While the investor Is in this frame
of mind 1t Is opportune for the great
prosperous west to make public her
innumreable opportunities for prof
table investment. We should show
that our lands are paying 100 per
cent on the investment; that we need
factories, mills and a million indus
trious people to assist in the develop
ment Of our latent resources.
Already has capital commenced to
pour into the west and the invest
ment in big tracts of land have been
OF daily occurrence since the finan-
cial furry made the investors suspic-
ious of eastern securities. All indi-
cations point to a far greater busi-
ness in western lands during the next
12 months than has been done In
twice that period of time in former
years.
When we show the investor that
the agricultural products Of Colo
rado will sell for more than one
hundred millions Of dollars this year

HOMES HARD TO GET.

The new law now in effect regard
ing homesteads requires settlers to
spend II months on homesteads.
The new ruling will be strictly en-
forced. 1t comes from the commits
sioner general of the land office at
Washington. Under the old rule six
months consecutive residence was all
that was necessary to prove, with
nine months actual residence.
The new rule was adopted because
so per cent of the homestead filings
have been fraudulent in the past.
The six months rule and construc-
tive residence features made frauds
possible. and the new ruling is ex-
pected to remedy this condition. The
government did not intend at any
time under the old laws that home
steaders could file on land, and after
residence Of several months COM
mute and obtain a good title.
The constructive residence feature
was intended to allow the homestead
er to close out his business or give
up his occupation before he took up
actual residence on the land he filed
on as a homestead.

AFTER ELLIS SCALP.

Although numerous candidates for
congress have announced themselves
and are grooming for the race In this
district, the East oregonian predicts
here and now that W. r. Ellis will
be returned next June by a large
vote.
He has worked hard during the
past summer to learn the wishes OF
the people of this district; he has
Travelled hundreds of miles in the in
terror looking over the needs Of the
state and is now in Washington ready
to do his best possible work for mis-
constituency and for the state.
1t is impossible to accomplish any,
thing for the state in one two-year
term in congress. A man should
have two or three or more terms to
be able to achieve anything. For
this reason the people will return
Congressman Ellis, without doubt, In
1903.

PENDLETON'S PLACE.

Pendleton is not only the banner
school town in oregon, but she is the
banner athletic town. The state
academic football championship
which came to Pendleton school yes
terday afternoon by a score of 13 to
% over Hill Military academy OF
Portland, one Of the strongest teams
in the state, is a victory not to be
underestimated from an athletic
standpoint, and while 1t places Pen
dleton at the head of the list in high
school athletics, it also strengthens
and reyives the school spirit of the
4 city.
1t does not detract from the edu-
cational features to have a reasona-
BILE amount of clean athletics In
school. In fact, it adds to the value
ana vigor of the school. 1t is an
incentive to make progress, it is an
1hvigorating diversion absolutely
necessary to young men hungering for
outdoor life and rivalry.
Pendleton is not going 20 loose
her head over the victory but 1t has
been won. it belongs to her and she
appreciates it. Her boys played a
fair, manly. clean, skillful game and
won and Pendleton is proud of them
and wants more like them from year
to year to hold aloft the banner OF
the high school,

SPOILED IT ALL.

A well-known Portland household
er recently invited an equally we'll
known bachelor. who is slightly deaf
to his home for dinner. When the
family had gathered about the festal
board, the householder, who is some-
what devout, proceeded to ask a
blessing. The deaf man, who sat
next, misunderstanding the proceed
ure and, turning to his host, inquired
blandly: "Beg pardon, did you
speak to me?" The head of the house
answered, politely, in the negative,
and, continued his pre-prandial sup
plication. Again the man with the
defective hearing broke in with the

per cent are absolute illiterates.
In the south of Spain 1t Is impos-
slble to get a servant who can read
and write, and many of the postmen
are unable to tell to whom the letters
they carry are addressed. They
bring a bundle of letters to a house

The Spanish postmen are not paid
by the state; the recipient of the let
ters have to renumerate them ac-
cording to the amount of their cor
respondence, and each letter costs
the addressee at least one cent.
It is a joke among the easy-golng
Spaniards that he who treats the

him or not.

pie and safeguard the public funds at
all hazards.
1t is also perfectly plain that the
republican machine organs are not
advising the state treasurer TO do
anything but hold onto his job.
The governor is peculiarly made
the watchdog OF the treasury and
there is no evidence that machine
politicians watch anything but jobs.
The need of a vigorous independent
executive was never more plainly
seen than right now, when s40O,O 900
of school funds are jeopardized.
The secretary of state shows inde-
pendence in standing with the COVER
nor to the extent of ordering school
funds loaned as If they were in the
custody of the treasurer,
Secretary Of State Benson is not
made responsible for the keeping
track of the state funds, but he could
refuse to loan them at present.
Would machine republican COVER
nor protect the people or the treas
urer? Would he expedite loans from
the state school funds?
Would a machine republican gov
ernor take sides with the American
Surety company of New York as
against the people Of Oregon? We
hope not.

WHAT WOULD MACHINE DoP

The Salem Journal says Of the state
treasurer's trouble with the school

It is an interesting question to ask
what would a machine republican
governor do for the state school

Would he take vigorous steps to
protect the people or would he stand
in with the state treasurer for parti-
San reasons?
II is plainly the duty of a governor

An Advertising Thought.

The cumulative value Of advertising is
a very important consideration with all
experienced users of newspaper space.
The continuance Of advertising day after
day, week after week, is like rolling up a
snow ball-it gathers size and momeri-
tum as it goes along. The value of the
first ad is increased by the second, and is
still further increased by the third, and
so on. So it pays the merchant best to
be persistent in his advertising. II
