East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-10-18

The inactivity of the voters and
candidates preceding a city election is
good evidence that conditions in
Pendleton are highly satisfactory.
The past two years have been the best
in the history of the city. More ac-
tual progress, more genuine develop
ment. greater advances in education
al matters have been made during the
present city administration than n
any preceding administration. And
while Pendleton has been making
this genuine progress, business has
improved, bank deposits have largely
increased. stocks have been enlarged,
store buildings and other industries
have added space and facilities for
handling the constantly increasing
business volume and taken from
every view point it has been the gol-
den period in Pendletons municipal
life.

the creation of these new morbid apitudes, this hereditary predis- position, which dominates almost all pathology, alcoholism stands preeminent, doing more harm and counting more victims than tuberculosis. Alcoholism, in fact, not only affects the indi- vidual, but it's effects are con tinued to his descendants. One cannot be, with impunity, the son of an alcoholic. Alcoholism begins with the father and strikes down his children; and generally it's action continues, until, in the fourth or fifth generation, it has destroyed the family. But be- fore this final result is reached, the alcoholics and their descend- ants are, according to circum- stances, hurled into disease, madness or crime, filling our hospitals, asylums or jails, as l have already said.
 Blind, indeed, are those who, ignorant of the dangers of alco- hol, see in it only a source of reVenuen'-The Literary Digest.

Former Residents Now Living in This State Are
 Invited to Attend Her Old Home Week
 Maryland is sending invitations to her sons and daughters scat tered everywhere to come to the grand reunion, and is making extensive preparations to give them a week of right royal enter tainment when they come. Old Home Week covers the dates October 13 to 19, and there will not be a moment of that time that will not thrill with the spirit of hospitality for which the Old Line State is famous.
 The celebration will include a number of spectacular features in this city, such as an electrical pageant, a grand military and naval display, a gathering of patriotic societies, a parade and ball by the fraternal orders, a big concert, a night carnival, etc. There will also be a special pilgrimage to Annapolis on Peggy Stewart Day, which falls in Old Home Week.
 The visitors to the capital will have an opportunity to inspect the magnificent new buildings of l the United States Naval Academy and the remodeled state house of historic associations.
 The New Baltimore, which has sprung from the ashes of the disasterous fire of 1904, will not be the least of the features that will afford delight and will sur prise the returning sons and daughters of the state.
 The homecomers will have the benefit of special transportation rates granted by railroads and steamboat companies, and ar engagements are on foot to secure for the visitors the privilege of side trip to Jamestown without extra charge.
 Every former Marylander of whom the Maryland Home Com ing Association secures informa- ton will receive a special invita- tion to attend the homecoming. These invitations are being sent out by Governor Edwin Warfield in the name of the state. All persons who have information of the whereabouts of forme" Mary landers are urged to promptly forward such names and ad- dresses as are in their possession, to the secretary of the associa- tion, COP Fidelity Building, Balti- more, Md.

Unto the Third and Fourth Gener-

"One cannot be, with impun- ity the son of a drunkard"-so says Dr. A. Joffroy, a French physician, who writes on Alcohol and Alcoholism, in the Revue Scientifique Paris, July 13). Dr. Joffroy's article reads in places like an old-fashioned temperance tract, but it is in reality a pit;less scientific state ment of facts Diseases, the author points out, are of two kinds, those that attack persons in normal health, and those that touch only those who are predis- posed to them. To create such morbid predispositions, alcohol is emnently suited, and in this way it strikes down, not only those who abuse it, but their descend ants, often ceasing it's ravages only when 1t has obliterated a whole family. We can quote here only a snail part of what Dr. Jetfroy says. First comes his division of diseases into the two categories mentioned above. We read:
 In the case of some dis ases (scarlet fever, smallpox, plague, etc. the pathogenic agent pro- duces the specific malady in every one exposed to contagion, what ever may have been his previous condition of health. But, on the other hand, there is a whole class of diseases that attack only such as are predisposed. Of one hun- dred infants fed in the same way, one or two will become abnor- mally fat, because, for example, the father had gout or the mother diabetes.

But hereditary predisposition exists also with nervous diseases, and alcoholism is one of the most effective means of creating such predisposition, as well as of de- veloping it where it exists. A man may be seized with shaking palsy, following some violent emotion, =. -. =. but hered- ity must be present to facilitate the action, and alcoholism is generally found to be at the bot tom of this heredity."
 In mental diseases, Dr. Joffory goes on to say, the role of hered- ity is greater still. We may al most say that predisposition is absolutely necessary for these. The author rejects the classified tion made by some authors who divide mental diseases into those of the normal and abnormal brain. The former, he thinks, do not eX- ist, a diseased brain being always abnormal. Even poisons that act on the brain select those who are predisposed, and this is eminently true of alcohol itself. Predispo- sitions generally alcoholic) de- termine the special form of drunkenness and explain why wine makes one man gay, another sad, another quarrelsome. Like wise hereditary predispositions explains why alcoholism results, with one man, in an ulcer of the stomach, with another in cirrhosis of the liver, with others in par alySis of one or another set of nerves. The writer continues:
 "On epilepsy the action of alcohol is quite clearly manifest; sometimes a subject plainly cpl leptic from infancy takes to drink at about twenty, with the result that his attacks increase in violence at each excess; some times a man of thirty or forty years who had had only slight seizures in childhood begins to have the characteristic attacks, which disappear or lesson when he becomes abstinent. =. =.
 In order that may be clearly understood 1 will repeat the def :. nieion that l have given else where of incipent dsgeneracy: The totality of organic defects. of hereditary or acquired origin, which, by lessening organic re- sistance, create new morbid apti- tudes and make causes patho- genie when of themselves they would be powerless to injure a normal organism

HAUGEN FOR SENATOR.

Coupled with the announcement of
Gov. Cummins' candidacy for United
States Senator before the republican
primaries next year, comes the sugges-
tion OF several other possible aspirants
for Senator Allison s seat in the u. S.
senate, among them Congressman
Walter /. Smith of Council Bluffs,
Ex- Congressman John F. Lacey of
Oskaloosa, Congressman Robert G.
Cousins of Upton, Judge Smith Nc.
Pherson, and Judge Towner.
+ While we doubt that the citizens of
Iowa are as yet prepared to lose the
distinguished and efficient services OF
Senator William B. Allison, yet if
|ssuch should become necessary through
i'll health or otherwise, why not Con-
gresham Gilbert N. Haugen of this
district for U. S. Senator? Mr.
Haugen is man who has followed in
the footsteps of Allison. He has often
been referred to in Washington and
in his home state as a man similar to
Allison in many ways. Quiet, unas.
suming, Industrious, conservative, a
constant and untiring laborer for the
interests of his constituency, he has
developed those peculiar inherent
traits which make his efforts most
effective. He has never been side
stopper. There has never been any
speculation as to where he has stood
upon questions Of public interest.
Ten years OF congressional service,
preceded by Legislative experience in
the Iowa house of representatives, has
broadened his intellect, widened his
Judgment and ripened his experience
until he is fully prepared for the more
advanced position Of U. S. Senator.
He has thousands of admirers through
ou- Iowa and especially the northern
part of the state who would welcome
the opportunity to cast their votes for
him at the primaries next June.
Why not Haugen for Senator?
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1907-06-05

True to the suspicions OF many Of
the people Of the state when he be-
came candidate for governor Of Iowa
for the third term last year, Gov. A.
b. Cummins has announced his candi-
dacy for u. 8. Senator to succeed
Senator William B. Allison, the
famous nestor Of the United States
Senate, lowa's grand old man. whose
remarkable record as statesman has
placed him at the forefront among the
great men Of the nation and the
world. Iowa can i'll afford to lose the
distinguished services of Senator AL.
lison. whose long experience. conser.
vative Judgment and powerful infiu.
ence in the halls Of legislation has
had as much to do with shaping the
policies OF the nation a. any person
who has ever served in similar capac,
ity. SO long Is his health permits,
we would be loath to see him retire
from the high position he has filled
with such distinguished credit to him,
self and the state he represents.

MEMORIAL DAY EXERCISES.
Citizens Generally Unite in Honorins the
Patriot Dead by Appropriate Exercises.

One of the most impressive Memoir
ial Day services held in Years took
place last Thursday morning 1t was
beautiful day. and everything con-
spired to make the occasion an i'm.
pressive one.
At ten O'Clock the procession formed
ON Main street in front of the court
house square. 1t comprised the Luther
College Concert Band. Decorah Fire
Department., Decorah Merchants
Band, Decorah Boys Drum Corps,
the longest line of veterans marching
in several years, Women's Relief
Corps, disabled veterans. flower girls.
Mayor and city council and citizens
in carriages. They marched east and
north to Water street and thence west
to the bridge, where the Memorial
service to the dead sailors was carried
out, after which the line counter
marched and returned to the Grand
opera house.
BY the time they arrived the opera
house had been filled with citizens,
seats being reserved on eithe. side in
front for the old soldiers and members
of the Woman's Relief Corps. On the
stage sat the Methodist church choir,
which furnished the music, Comman-
der L. l.. Caldwell, the speaker, Mr..
F. E. Howard, of the Elma New Era,
and the city clergy. After beautiful
selection by the choir and invocation
by Rev. DR.. Willett of the Congrega.
tional church, the impressive cere-
mony of reading the roll of the veter-
ans who have died during the last
year, the comrades standing, while
little girls decorated their vacant
chairs with flags and wreaths was
carried out. Following this Com
mander L. L. Caldwell read LincOln's
Gettysburg speech, and after another
selection by the choir, Mr. Howard was
introduced and delivered the address
of the day, which the people of the
city had previously had the pleasure
of reading in print. 1t was care
fully prepared address, and he de.
livered it in an excellent manner. He
has good voice and presence, and
his discourse was listened to with
much pleasure by those who We're
present. The services closed with the
singing Of America by the audi
ence.
At noon the ladies of the Women s
Relief Corps served dinner to the old
soldiers and their families at the Post
Rooms, after which the Sons of Vet
Grams visited the different cemeteries
and decorated the graves of the sold
iers.
