LA TOILETTE So YEARS OLD.

Robert Marion La Toilette, United
States senator from Wisconsin, and
who is receiving some mention as
possible candidate for the presiden-
cy on the republican ticket next year,
was born in Primrose, Wis, June IA.
1855. Senator La Follette's two most
conspicuous qualities are his ability as
an orator and his ability as a politi-
cal organizer.
He received his education at the
University of Wisconsin and after his
graduation in 1879 was admitted to
the bar. From 1885 to 1891 he was
a representative in congress. AS
member of the ways and means COM
mittee he had a prominent part IN
framing the Mckinley tariff bill. In
1901 he was elected governor of Wis
consin and continued in that office
until chosen senator. During his term
as governor he gave special attention
to legislation affecting railroads ana
was most active in securing laws IN
Wisconsin to curb the alleged abuses
of the railroads and other big corpora
tions.
He was one VI lhe liiS' W "''
the control of railroad rates WITHIN
the state by state commission ana
he brought about the adoption of
measure to tax railroad property by
the same system and at the same rate
as other taxable property. He also
led a movement to nominate all con-
| didates by direct vote, which. was en-
| acted into law by the Wisconsin ies-
| islature in 1904.

THE "STORE NEWS"

The Eugene Guard gives a little
scrap of personal experience in the
value of the advertisements to its
readers in a recent issue. 1t says:
Last Saturday a gentleman living
on one of the rural free delivery
routes out of Eugene came in and
subscribed for the Daily Guard.
There was nothing unusual about this
action-it is occurring every day
but this subscriber gave reason for
desiring to take the paper that was of
interest, as illustrating the modern
view of business.
He said that being a stranger and
as yet little interested in local news,
he wanted the paper chiefly for its
advertisements; that his wife espec-
tally wished to keep in touch with the
special sales and inducements offered
by the merchants.
They had always taken daily papers
and found them valuable for this pur-
pose, as we'll as interesting on account
OF the news and general reading mat
ter they contained.
The point is that a daily paper is
taken and read as much now for its
store news as for any other part
OF its contents. Those business mer
who recognize this fact are nearly al
coming their knowledge of present.
day ideas into money at the expense
of those less observing and enterpris'
ing who still rely upon billboards ant
dead walls as a medium of reaching
an intelligent reading public.

nIJND MAN FOR SENATOR.

T. p. Gore, who has been nominat-
ed by the democrats of Oklahoma Tor
United States senator, which is
equivalent to election, as the new
state is strongly democratic, has been
blind since he was IL years old, when
he accidentally shot his right eye out
with an arrow gun.
At that time, he was page In the
Mississippi senate. Three years be-
fore a playmate, while in boyish
passion, had blinded his left eye with
n stone.
Gore, who has a marvellous mem
ory. has won laurels in politics and
law. A page at II, nominee for the
legislature at 19, populist elector-
at-large in Mississippi three years
later, unanimously selected in 1900
for congressional standard bearer by
the same party in Texas while absent
in South Dakota speaking for the fu-
sion ticket. Such is the political his
tory of Thomas Pryor Gore. But al
ways he was defeated. He has never
held office since he was page in the
Mississippi senate.

THE LURE.

I'VE journeyed long and I've Travelled
far
Ger the ways that were to the Lands
that Are,
And over my pathway burned star,
Like gem on the breast OF night.
The moonlight beams on a thousand
streams
In the Land of Love-the Land of
Dreams
And ever before me glows and CLEANS
The lure OF the worlds delight.
I turn from the old worlds grinding
stress,
Its woe and turmoil and WEAKNESS,
For the sake of woman's tenderness,
And loves unconscious might
Just one from out Of the passing
throng,
Whose heart is true as her soul is
strong,
Lures me and leads me the ways
along,
And nerves my arm in the fight.
I do not know what the and may be
Beyond the veil of the Mystery,
But strong heart beareth me COM
pany
And my soul still seeks the light.
When stars grow dim on the ways I've
trod,
And Death, like a master, wields the
rod,
shall take no fear of the wrath OF
God,
If she joins me there in the night!
-Darien Darrell.

Much of this money comes from out
side points and is added to the bus
mess volume.
Pendleton academy brings in many
thousands OF dollars each year from
outside sources which is Immediately
added to the circulation in the city
and which constitutes a good source
of revenue.
Pendleton Business college brings a
large number of young men and wo-
men into the city each year, who
spend from $3.50 to 5000 each while
attending school. Pendleton public
schools not only draw individual stu
dents here in large numbers, but en-
tire families are brought to this city
by these excellent schools every year.
Is 1t not to the interest of every
business man and resident to foster
and encourage every one of these in
stitutions? Should we not take a per-
sonal interest in their welfare?
should we not make a special effort
to widen their scope and broaden
their fields of activity and acquaint-
ance?
Pendleton must build upon her
future business structures upon such
institutions. She must appeal to the
school hungry and the home hungry
of the surrounding country. She must
make the city pleasant and attractive
for people with money to invest in
homes and an education.
Every Pendleton man has friends
and correspondents in distant counties
in Oregon and especially in eastern
Oregon These business men could
help Pendleton by sending out in their
correspondence some form of litera-
ture concerning Pendleton's education
al advantages. In this way every let
ter sent out of Pendleton would carry
message OF PendletOn'S eXcellent
schools and would be the means of at
tracing strangers here to become per-
manent residents.
In this way everybody can con-
tribute to the building up of the city
at a minimum personal expense and
the results will be far-reaching and
profitable.

THE EARLIEST TELEGRAPHS.

The telegraph is only a natural ev-
oIution. Long before Morse was
born the American Indians telegraph
ed messages by means of the smoke
from a fire which was caused to rise
at certain intervals by means Of flap
ping a blanket.
The natives of central Africa like
wise have a telegraph system of their
own design. This consists of num-
Der of large drums which are beaten
with a heavy stick, and can be heard
for surprisingly long distances. These
drum signals are also used by the
Bakubas and in New Guinea. The
inhabitants thump away at their code
of messages on these drums, and the
natives often spend hours convers-
ing with nelghboring tribes through
the drum signals.-Sunday Magazine.

A JUST KICK FROM sToCKMEN.
: s%++++*+++++++*++i

The stockmen Of Umatilla county
almost universally agree with the
range leasing and forest reserve prin-
ciple-but they have a mighty just
kick to make about the administra-
ton of the range leasing in the forest
reserves.
In the first place the reserves, they
claim, are largely turned over to in
experienced men, in either stock
raising or forestry. This makes 1t
impossible for the stock industry to
get justice.
The rules of the forestry depart
ment regulating range leasing are fair
enough and just enough, but the rules
are disobeyed. The principle of the
forest reserve policy is good and
broad. but the administration by the
officials is miserable in many instances
and unless better service is brought
about, these tyrannical small officials

forest reserve principle.
For instance, the rules say positive
" that land owners and resident
stockmen shall be given preference in
the distribution of range. This Is not
done in many instances and rank in
Justice has been done in Umatilla
county to many resident stockmen by
sending them 20 miles from home
10 range which they never occupied
and which is not adjacent to their
decided land.
From the orders OF these petty Of
ficials there seems to be no recourse
and the administration of President
Roosevelt will soon be blamed with
gross incompetency or negligence In
carrying out the rules laid down for
the government OF the reserves.
The East Oregonian believes in the
forest reserve principle. 1t believes
that the president wishes to do the
right thing by the actual settlers and
stockmen of the west, and that II
these petty tyrannies and injustices OF
the men in charge Of the reserves
were brought properly before the
higher officials that they would be
righted.
The stockmen believe in the princi-
pies, but they object to the admins
tration of the forest reserves, and
this sentiment is growing stronger
every month. The administration OF
President Roosevelt cannot afford to
ignore these charges.

PRAISES SENATOR MORGAN.

The death of Senator Morgan of
Alabama. is universally regretted by
the Washington newspaper men. He
was one of the best read and posted
men in Washington and being always
accessible to correspondents when his
health permitted, he was an unfailing
source of information on past as well
as present events.
His single fault, II 1t might be so
termed, in this connection, was his
profundity. Just as in discussing
matter before the senate, he was wont
to explore all the side issues bearing
on the subject, so in being interviewed
or in supplying newspaper men with
data, he would be so voluminous as to
almost overwhelm his interviewer.
There was seemingly no topic on
which he could not discourse lucidly
and exhaustively, marshaling and
presenting his facts with clearness
and amplitude, but sometimes to con-
fusion.
He was not political leader In the
senate but was more on the order OF

OUTSIDE MONEY IN PENDLEToN.

Few people who do not stop to cal
culate occasionally, do not fully ap-
preciate the value Of the institutions
Of this city to the community.
Thousands of dollars Of outside
money is brought into Pendleton in
this way every year. in a constant
and unfailing stream and as these big
institutions increase in efficiency the
income Of Pendleton business interests
will correspondingly Increase.
st. Anthony's hospital alone draws
about $4,000 per year to this city,
most Of this amount being outside
money. Much Of this sum goes direct
ly into the channels Of trade.
st. Joseph's Academy brings sew
eraI thousand dollars in tuitions, ex-
pense accounts and other forms Of ex-
peDditures into the city every year.

A NEWSPAPERS ASSETS.

Henry Allen in wichita, Is hearing
dozen times a day, from outraged
citizens who think they have griev-
ances against the Beacon, his paper.
The first thing the Beacon did after
Allen took hold of 1t was to start
crusade to make Wichita a "dry"
town, and 1t succeeded so admirably
that It won the very first fight. Now
it is fighting to make Wichita a clean
town. People are roaring and threat
ening and writing letters about 1t, but
the Beacon goes right ahead. Every
experienced newspaper man knows
that his paper Is never succeeding so
we'll as when he has lot of people
awfully mad at him for the things the
paper has insisted upon. A paper that
tells the truth is bound to make enc
mics, and a really meritorious papers

The practice of driving heavy trac-
ton engines over the pavement in
Pendleton should be nipped in the bud
now, before it becomes general. Spo-
kane, Portland, Walla Walla, Seattle
and every other city having bitulithic
paving forbid these heavy machines
from using the soft paving and cause
them to use the unpaved streets. If
there is no ordinance against this
practice now, such an ordinance
should be provided tonight There
to permit 1t to be needlessly worn out
and damaged by the heavy engines
which can just as well use other
streets

KING COTTON.

Cotton Is the great crop Of tho
United States and It Is growing in
greatness. It is our contribution Ia
the wealth Of the nation. Cotton has
driven linen from the clothing stores
and few people wear linen under.
clothing. They could not II the,
would for the world does NOT pro.
duce enough linen to clothe human.
iity. even with underwear. Cotton is
the clothing crop.
| Under the strangest of systems the
men who produce the cotton allow
men in New York to fix the price Of
the crop This was at first because
the money came from New York but
the men who furnish the money are
banks that furnish the money to buy
are content with Interest ON the
loans. The men who fix the price
81 cotton are greedy sharks who
have been exposed as men hesitate
at nothing to make money Right
now We are going through tho pro.
cess Of choking them on
4 few years ago Liverpool set the
price Of cotton. That is the men In
England who spun the cotton decided
what they would pay the owners
for g. The New yore gang did put
a stop TO that and forced the Eng
lish spinners to pay the New York
price for cotton. That is the only
thing that the sharks ever did that
was good. and they did not do that
to help the planter.
Now the planters have become
slive TO the fact that they have not
had their share Of the proceeds Of
their crop They are going to get
1t in the future. II Is possible to
hold this crop and force the men who
manufacture cotton to deal with the
planters or their agents ana to cut
out New York altogether That will
mean millions Of dollars for tne
South.
The association Of cotton planters
can FIX the price and the mills VIII
pay it, That puts the planter and the
mill man face to face and the planter
will be benefited.
It will be several years before the
planters can regulate the size OF the
cfop There will be need however.
for larger crops and always larger. II
is tolerably certain that the price will
have 10 cents ~ It's minimum and
10 cents ms its maximum for some
years.
The mill men will pay the price and
the consumer will pay the price, but
they can AFFORD II II the planter has
the money to spend.
