SAFE CITIZENSHIP.

In a country like eastern Oregon.
where a large element Of the men OF
every community drink more or less,
gamble when they have an opportuni-
ty and carouse to excess at times, 1t
requires sturdy character and a
strong will In young men reared In
these surroundings to resist the urgent
temptation to Join his fellows In
these habits
The East Oregonian believes that
Pendleton. FOR town Of saloons and
drinking habits. contains larger
number Of young men who do not in
dulge IN these habits. in proportion to
population. than any other eastern
oregon town.
These boys are not "goody goody
fellows; they are not long-faced and
ra-sanctlmonious but they enjoy
life 10 the fullest degree; they have

1t would be impossible 10 conceive
OF industrial conditions more directly
opposite than those of 1898 and those
Of 1907.
In 1898 the country was filled with
idle men; Coxey armies marched
across the continent from every Pa
ciflc coast state; wheat was down to
25. 80 and 40 cents per bushel; flour
sold in eastern oregon at so cents per
sack; wool was selling at 8 to 10
cents; sheep were worth but $3.50 to
81 per head; oats we're a drug on the
market: factories were closing down
because Of an actual overproduction;
railroads were reducing their forces,
cutting off trains and retrenching in
operating expenses; there was no traf-
fic to move: farms in Umatilla coun-
ty were plastered over with mortgages
held by eastern capital and interest
and principal were sent east in double
quick time and the money panic was
an actual panic which pinched every
body alike.
In 1907. IA years after the last pre-
vlous financial furry. the northwest
is crying for labor to complete rail-
road grades; wages are higher than
ever known; railroads are blocked
with traffic: new engines and cars
cannot be secured fast enough to
handle the crops; wheat Is over 70
cents: barley Is 81 per 100; wool Is
better than 20 cents; ewes are worth
IS per head; horses are worth $500
per span: flour Is s1.25 per sack;
hank deposits are heavier than ever
In the history Of the country; land
prices are soaring out Of sight; mar
kets are calling for products faster
than trains can deliver them; crops
suffered for lack Of labor to harvest
them; railroad yards and warehouses
are overflowing with exports which
cannot find ships to carry them; every
Industrial condition is exactly oppo-
site to that Of 1893, and yet under
these paradoxical conditions, another
furry and a threatened panic has
come upon the country.
These conditions should cause peo-
pie to study government and industrial
conditions. II there was reason for
a panic IN 1893, should there be rea-
son for It today? II there is no reason
for II today how is 1t brought about?
Who IS responsible?
Gambling in the peoples commodi-
ties by spectators, by non-producers,
is wholly responsible and the quicker
the people eliminate these factors
from the life Of the nation, the better
for the government

THE YOUNG TO THN OLD.

You who are old,
And have fought the fight,
And have won or lost or left th'
field,
Weigh us not down
With fears OF the world as we run!
With the wisdom that is to right,
The warning to which we can not
yield
The shadow that follows the sun
Follows forever
And with all that desire must leave
undone,
Though as a god II endeavor,
Weigh. weigh us not down!
Rut grid our hope TO believe
That all that is done
Is done by dream and daring
Bid us dream onl
That Earth was not born
Or Heaven built of bewaring-
You dreamt your hour-and dared,
but we
Would dream till all you despaired
of be.
Would dare, till the world,
Won to a new wayfaring,
Be thence forever easier upward
drawn!

North Dakota. It is understood that
the board OF construction stands by
the original designs. But the original
designs have already been radically
changed In the matter Of the turrets,
and 1t is not too late to remedy the
equally grave defect OF the waterline
belt. II the secretary is in doubt
whether the present design is, wrong,
we suggest that he order a board,
like the turret board made. up %
seagOing officers not under the domi-
nation Of the bureaus to investigate
and report to him. That such a
board would urge raising the armor
belt is absolutely certain. That the
secretary ought to decide the mat
ter that way is equally certain. 1t
would require strength TO anthgonize
the bureaus, but we believe that Sec
retary Metcalf is not wanting In de-
cision when a matter so vital to the
efficiency of the fleet is at issue.-

Richard X. McGregOr Loses His
Life in the Little Platte.

The sad news has reached here of
the drowning on Tuesday afternoon of
Richard K. McGregOr, son of DR..
Duncan McGregOr of PlatteVille. The
young man in company with his
friend Herbert Gasser was bathing at
Hecker's mill, three miles from Platte
vile. After they had been in the
water for some time Gasser, who had
climbed out on the bank, looked back
and saw young McGregOr sinking in
the deeper part of the pond, but as
Gasser could not swim he was unable
to rescue him. People from Platte
vile soon gathered to the scene and
for four hours worked in an effort to
recover the body, and it was found
about six O'Clock in the evening.
Richard K. McGregor was a young
man of promise. He would have
reached his twentieth birthday next
Saturday, and had planned to enter
the state university in the fall.
