STATEMENT NO. 1 is NOT READ.

While there have been some deser-
tions from the ranks of the Statement
No. politicians, others are coming
out for it.
The Capital Journal believes that
Statement No. 1 candidates for the
Legislature will be stronger with the
people than they were at the last
election.
At least one of the republican can
didates for the nomination has come
out flat-footedly as a Statement No.
l candidate.
Frederick w. Mulkey of Portland
is sending a circular direct to the
voters saying he is Statement No.
candidate and none other.
He furthermore as a republican an
nounces that he will advocate the
election of the choice of the people
by the legislature, whoever that
man may be-"
That is saying that If the popular
choice should be a democrat and II
the legislature should be republican.
Mr.. Mulkey would favor the election
by the republicans of the democratic
choice of the people.-Salem Journal.

DO NOT OVERLOOK OREGON.

Bryan is to announce in December
whether he will become a democratic
candidate for president or not, says
the Salem Journal.
1t is stated that If he cannot secure
the help of the Hearst organization,
he will not run.
The Associated Press also says that
he may decide to favor Mayor Tom L.
Johnson of Cleveland, o.
While the figuring is going on for
man to head the democratic ticket,
do not overlook oregon.
Oregon has a democrat who has
run for office seven times before re-
publican. constituencies and won each
time.
The democrat who is elected presi-
dent will have to be chosen with re-
publican votes.
Governor Chamberlain's prestige in
that line will be strong card in his
favor.
AS a native of Mississippi he could
carry the south and he is strong on
the Pacific coast.
On the ticket with a man like plain
John Johnson of Minnesota he would
run like wildfire.
The democratic party is pretty tired
of the warfare between the two wings
of the party.
1t is ready to turn down its war
horses who are perennially prancing
up to the fodderbox.
If the republicans make the mis-
take and do not put up the real thing
watch oregon.
oregon has an available man and
is besides the first state in the Union
to hold a decisive election in the
presidential contest.

SENATOR TMLMAN.

Senator Tillman, like many other
prominent men, has been misreprc-
sented greatly. In his lecture Sat-
urday night at Nampa, the senator
showed neither the hatred and ami
mostly toward the negro race nor the
uncouthness of expressing that has
been attributed to him.
He made 1t clear that he does not
hate the negro-he only recognizes
the feeling that is so strong in the
south that the white man cannot live
under negro supremacy, and the pur-
pose of his lectures, as he states, is
to inform the north of the facts and
to call clearly to their minds and
conscience this fact. which is a vital
one owing to the greater number of
negroes in the southern states than
whites.
He called attention to the feeling
that has been stirred up on the Pa
cific coast because of the Asiatic race
question, which he concludes is but
an industrial one after all, but he
claims the negro question is indus
trial, social and political.
At no time during his long speech
could it be said that he dealt unfair
ly with the negro, whom he recog-
nizes as a man-but as a man not
far enough removed from the bar
barism of his race to enable him to
rule the white race.-Boise Capital

THE LID" WORKS WONDERS.

1t is rather amusing to hear Oregon
papers which have never helped close
gambling and which have never done
anything else to make the frontier
towns decent, now crow over the good
results of the lid"
They have never braved any of the
fight, they have been in the back
ground, waiting for some one else to
take the lead, but now that the fight
is over and the victory for decency
won, they are brave as coyotes.
Many of these papers are not excus-
able in any way for their failure to
agitate for better morals, for in nine
cases out of 10, the majority of the
community was with them and would
have enforced their demands.
over in the interior the papers
which would not whisper a word
against a tinhorn gambler two months
ago. for fear of losing a subscription,
are now vociferous in their praise of
the lid" since somebody else has
won the fight for decency.
Why don't these papers and these
individual editors have some SEM
biance Of courage and backbone? /?
They have waited for others to do the
work and now they are doing the

POETRY DIDN'T WIN.

A north Missouri farmer whose
hog was killed by train wrote the
company's claim agent for a settle
ment. Being somewhat Of a poet"
he penned his communication thus:
Dear Sir:
Ny razorback strolled down your
track
A week ago today.
Your Twenty-nine came down the
line
And snuffed his light away.
You can't blame me-the hog you
see,
Slipped through a cattle gate.
So kindly pen a check for ten,
This debt to liquldate.
He was rather surprised few
days later to receive the following.
Old Twenty-nine came down the
line
And killed your hog, we know,
But razorbacks on railroad tracks
Quite often meet with woe.
Therefore, my friend, we cannot
send
The check for which you pine.
Just plant the dead; place Ger his
head
Here lies a foolish swine"

What sweet songs are waiting
For singers to sing them.
And glad bells are waiting
For ringers to ring them.
And good deeds are waiting
For doers to do them.
And for laws we are waiting
While judges construe them.
And wee babes are waiting
For mothers to name them:
While hard hearts are waiting
For love to reclaim them.
And people are waiting
For leaders to lead them,
Up freedoms steep highway
With courage to speed them.

Well do what Is nearest,

SKETCH OF LEONARD WOOD.

General Leonard Wood, at present
in command of the forces in the Phil
ippines and who In the course OF
events will rise to the highest COM
mand in the army within the next
few years, was born October g. 1860,
is unique In the history of the Ameri-
can army. inasmuch as It is extreme
ly rare for an officer to rise so high
In the army who might almost be
said to be without military training.
General Wood received a medical
education and his first connection
with the army was I'm 1886 when he
was appointed as assistant surgeon.
In the Geronimo campaign of tho
same year he went with the forces
to the front and afterward received
a medical Of honor for his services.
His opportunity came when war
was declared with Spain. At the be-
ginning of the conflict the young
surgeon, assisted by President Roose-
welt, who had resigned his position
as assistant secretary of the navy, or
ganized his famous regiment of
Rough Riders. Wood was made col
onel of the regiment, Roosevelt be-
ing lieutenant colonel.
Upon the surrender of the Spanish
forces at Santiago in 1898, Wood
was appointed military governor of
that city and after that his rise was
rapid. In December, 1899. he be-
came military governor of Cuba, and
by the fall of 1903 he had been ad-
vanced to the rank of major general
in the regular army.

their difficulties before the days Of

WORK FOR BOOSTERS.

There is work ahead for the boost
ers of Pendleton Commercial associa-
ton. if Pendleton is brought into pos
session of those resources which right
fully belong to her.
The young and middle-aged busi-
ness men. those who have taken up
the burden Of the community, and
who hope to grow up" with Pendle-
ton. (for Pendleton has not yet be-
gun to grow,) have a wonderful work
to perform in developing the resour-
ces of this community.
Their task almost equals in diff
culties, hard work and cost of money,
brain and Drawn, the tasks so willing
ly and gloriously performed by the
pioneers of the Commercial association
who have brought Pendleton to her
present high state of development.
But there are new demands upon
the young men of today. New devel-
opments are taking place, new issues
are up for settlement and they can
take up the work where the veterans
have placed it today.
The division of the large farms, the
settlement of the Umatilla Indian res
ervation by actual farmers, the build
ing Of roads into the irrigated sec
tions. the promotion of electric lines
to different parts of the county and
the advertising Of the city and county
in the east call loudly to the young
men who are just taking up the bur-
dens Of boosting
The new fact has just dawned upon
US that as good apples can be raised
in Tutuilla foothills as can be raised
at Hood River. The development Of
this industry, the actual planting Of
some experimental apple orchards,
and the collection Of an exhibit Of
Umatilla fruit for advertising purposes
are some Of the things that can and
must be done.
Portland pays Tom Richardson
$4,000 per year in salary for boosting
the city in the way Of capital invest
ment, desirable citizens and home
seekers, and Pendleton should take
lesson.
While smaller cities cannot employ
regular publicity men, yet every man
H. the smaller cities should be a pub
licity man. There should be private
ard public boosting, circulars, book
lets. exhibits and every other form Of
promotion work, and upon the young
er class Of men this work is TO fall
in future. for the veterans have serv-
ed long and well and deserve to be
relieved Of the labor and expense of
todays plans. although they are found
yet in the front rank with enthusiasm
and cash whenever occasion de-
mands
The time to develop these resources
and prepare the way for Pendleton's
rich rewards Of the future is now,
while new settlers are looking this
way. The development Of the lrriga-
ton schemes Of western Umatilla
county has not yet begun. Not only
the Insignificant little area Of the
Umatilla project will be reclaimed and
filled with settlers, but half a million
acres in this and Morrow counties will
be brought under water. The Co
lumbia river is not TO escape the bur
den Of reclaiming the arid land along
her borders
An Of this vast tract. overlooking,
in time. with active. yirile homeseek-
ers. will be tributary to Pendleton. II
Pendleton lays the foundation in ad-
