Pope's Recent Order to
Cardinals May Interfere

ROME, Oct. I6.-Martin Maloney, the
papal marquis, could not have selected
more inopportune tine to seek annul-
ment OF his daughter. Helen's. reported
marriage to A. II. Osborne, the New
York broker.
That such an application viii be made
is strongly minated. 1t is even more
lnlmated that Maloney's emissaries
have already sounded high dignitaries
about the papal court concerning the
reception Of such request.
Until the facts are fully submitted, II
is, Of course. Impossible to say what
action the Pope will take. 1t is certain,
however that the showing must be
strong TO receive consideration.

THE PENALTY.

For 80 years the corporations Of the
United States have been in search of
Cheap labor" and in their efforts to
get it have asked for and invited the
admission of millions of ignorant Eur
opeans.
These people have come here with
their disregard and hatred Of all gov
ernment, of all society, Of all law.
They have sown broadcast a seed Of
riot and crime, which it will require
years to uproot from American soil.
And who is to blame? The poor,
ignorant immigrants, devoid Of intel
ligence, responsibility and respect for
law?
No. They have been oppressed for
centuries, they had the hatred of law
imprinted in their natures before COM
ing here, but they would not be here,
were it not for the avarice and selfish
ness of Americans.
The rich corporations who have i'm
portuned congress for "cheap labor"
are directly and solely to blame. But
the penalty is being paid by innocent
men, like Frank Steunenberg and
Harvey X. Brown-men whose only
fault was the enforcement of the laws
of the land.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-10-01
PRACTICAL ADVERTISING.


Pendleton has a number of the
most enterprising and practical ad-
vertisers in the northwest. They set
aside a regular advertising fund, and
it yields them larger returns than any
other investment they make.
They change their advertisements
daily. or as often as is necessary, they
give prices on special sales, they make
special announcements, they tell in a
readable and entertaining way what
they have to offer and people look for
these fresh, crisp, readable ads.
The women who do the principal
part of the shopping of every home
make a regular business of sea ching
out bargains, special offers, new an
nouncements, new goods on sale, new
varieties of provisions advertised, new
prices and changes in prices and then
they go where 1T seems profitable to
go to do their trading.
Every business which advertises in
in a practical manner gets
definite returns. 1t has a regular line
of old customers which stay with it
and it attracts every new customer
which comes to the city.

MIR. GEER's oBSEssIoN.

Now the East Oregonian is not go
ing to ask the editor of the Tribune
to make a map of his movements
while in Portland, nor to swear on
the Bible that he did not meet with
the political leaders Of the metropolis,
but the fact remains that there is a
concerted movement among a coterie
OF the old-time politicians in Port
land to kill the movement for state
ment No. 1.
Since Mr.. Geer has been on all sides
of this question within three changes
of the moon, people naturally suspect
that he is getting his evil inspiration
from some outside source, as they
know that he is too intelligent and
too honest to get mixed up so badly
within so short a period, of his own
volition and initiative.
OF course, he can take the blame
upon himself if he desires to shield
the source of the inspiration. A poll
tician who cannot be a martyr is not
fit for the job.
Mr.. Geer's friends sincerely believe
that he has been obsessed by the po-
political hypnotists of Portland. Stay
away from them, brother.
