East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-12-10

The statement of Oregon banks
rendered in response to the call of
the comptroller Of the currency Is
flattering in the extreme. Practical
ly every bank in the state had on
hand more than the required amount
of cash reserve and practically every
one shows an excellent condition Of
deposits and resources. This Is some
thing of which Oregon may be justly
proud. 1t is testimonial from the
United States government that Ore
gon Is all right. There is no higher
commercial authority than Uncle
Sam, so the question of Oregon's
condition Is settled.

PUBLIC SCHOOL FAIRS.

The East Oregonian believes that
the subject of industrial fairs. or
crop growing contests could be pro-
fitably Introduced into the public
schools in the rural districts of Ore
gon. These contests have added
largely to the interest of the schools
and to the education of the pupils
in other states and where they have
been tried in several Oregon counties
they have been found to contain ex-
cellent educational features.

DUBOIS IN JOURNALISM.

Ex-senator Fred T. Dubois of
Idaho. one of the brightest men in
the Gem state, but in the minority
party, politically, has started a week
ly political paper called the Idaho
Scimitar, at Boise.
The Scimitar has the motto Death
to Mormonism," written in every line
of its editorial, not in letters, but in
spirit. Dubois has chosen a happy
name for his paper, for the scimitar
has been used by the faithful in all
ages as a terrible instrumentality
against the disbelief of the infidel
and the apostate.
The Idaho Scimitar has a keen po-
litical edge. 1t cuts both ways, up
and down, backward and forward,
and has stinging point to its sar-
casm on the Mormon church.
Dubois has engaged upon a war
fare of determination against polyg-
amy and Mormonism and If he keeps
I'D the tone and tenor of his editori-
al onslaughts, for a number of years
he will have made much headway
toward this goal.
Dubois was defeated for reelection
to the United States senate by the
Mormons who occasionally enter pol
itics with telling effect. So perhaps
Mormonism appears blacker and more
Objectionable to Dubois than it does
to Senator Borah, who was elected
by the votes of the church.

REPUBLICANS SET THE PACE.

The national republican commit
tee has set a pace in the selection of
delegates to the next convention
which other parties will be forced to
follow if they hold, equally, the es-
TEEN of the ranks of the voters.
The national committee settled the
question of the manner of electing
delegates by saying that the direct
primary laws must be rigidly OBJ
served in states having the primary
law, and where no primary law is in
effect, delegates shall be elected by
convention as formerly.
1t has been a puzzling question
among voters and local political
leaders as to how delegates to the
national convention should be elect
ed. but the committee clears up the
entire question in one sentences:
"Observe the state laws"
Thus much of the political twaddle
regarding the overriding of the pri-
mary law by the republican national
committee has been upset in the early
and unqualified announcement of the
committee that all laws must be rig
idly observed in the selection of del
egates. This is a long step on the
road to republican victory in 1908.
When we begin at the very ground
to give the people full political lib
erty, we do much to clean up the
corruption and fraud which has
crept into politics and government
through one-man conventions, one
man legislatures, one-man govern
ments.
The republican nationaI committee
has started right in the campaign OF
1908.

raj journals entered the contest. There
was keen competition for the prizes,
and the result showed most crafty
ing progress on the part of the boys
and girls in the development of pure
bred corn.
Mr.. Capper had the corn placed on
exhibition on November 80 in the
largest hall in Topeka and the public
was invited to the big corn show,
Nearly 5000 people came out to see
the work of the boys and girls.
Prof. A. NJ. Ten Eyck of the Kan
sas state Agricultural college, the
leading corn specialist of Kansas,
was in charge of the contest and
awarded the prizes. He said it was
one of the finest exhibits of corn that
had ever been made in any state. In
his address he cOmplimented the
young folks for their splendid work,
and he also commended Mr.. Capper
for his enterprise in promoting so
successful a contest.
Archie Rebel a young lad living
near Arbela, Mo-, won the first prize.

LITTLE BABY

A SPEEDY AND
PERMANENT CURE

"we express to you herewith our best
thanks for the cure OF our baby from
eczema. The eczema appeared when
the child was three months old. We
applied to several doctors and hospitals,
each Of which gave US something differ
ent every time, but nothing brought re-
Lief. A physician recommended salve
which we threw into the fire after two
days' use as the eczema became worse

last, one Of our friends recommended to
u Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
rnent. A few days afterwards improve
ment could be noted. Since then we
have used nothing but Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment, and now the
baby is six months old and is quite cured.
AL that we used was one cake Of Cuti-
cura Soap and two boxes Cuticura Oint-
ment, costing in all slips. Even the
poorest man can pay that instead OF
throwing it into the doctors lap. /
myself only make twelve dollars week
as teamster, but / recommend the
Cuticura Remedies strongly to all moth
ers whose children suffer from such dis
eases. They are cheap, harmless and
good. c. F. Kara and Wife, 343 East

THE WORK IN CONGRESS.

The Oregon delegation in congress
is busy early in the session and be-
cause Of the united and harmonious
delegation which represents Oregon
at this time, it looks as though some
excellent results would be obtained.
The bills introduced by Congress
man Ellis Of this city and also by
Senator Fulton, for the erection Of
public buildings at Portland, La
Grande and Pendleton, are especially
pleasing to eastern Oregon. This
great section Of the state, so rich, so
vast, so resourceful, lacks only few
Of the common public conveniences
to become the most attractive part
of the west.
1t looks hopeful for the public
building bills this session. Baker
City has had one under way for
number of years, having started work

of the government in reclalming va

Ii can hardly be contended that if to-

licenses had heretofore been granted
that Immediately after the vote being
taken the licenses would be revoked.
Licenses having been granted for year
from July LIST, it undoubtedly would be
contended, and with good reason, that
the licenses continue in force and the
sale of LIQUOR permitted until July LIST
following. So, on the other hand,
where the voters of mnnicip ality have
voted that there shall be no license
granted for the ensuing year, which be-
gins July lst following, then, if at the
succeeding election they vote in favor of
license, this expression would take
effect and permit the issuance of licenses
after July lst following.

Charged With Adultery

John Gleason and Mrs. Roderio nc
Cyr were arrested at an early hour
Monday morning in room together In
the Oxford hotel. Sioux City. They
were released On temporary bond
but the next day definite charge OF
adultery was lodged against them by
Mr.. Cyr. Examination was waived
and they we're bound over for examina
tiOn before the grand jury in the sum
OF $500 each.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cyr have been mar,
ried nearly two years and one child, q
daughter nearly ten months of age,
has been born to lhem. Report mas ii,
however, that their married life has
not been altogether congenial and
very recently, just before the Ricards
went to Pennington county to com.
mence residence on their homesteads.
there was trouble over the farm which
Mr.. Ricard owns. Then at the dance
last Friday night at Richland matters
we're still further aggravated. Sunday
afternoon Mr.. Cyr drove in from the
farm with his wife, who wished ostensi-
bly, TO go to Sioux City to visit her
brother. Mrs. Cyr claims, we believe,
that they had quarrelled and that she
was left with no money and the re.
mark that her husband did not care
whether she returned or not. AL any
rate she did not take the train, the
baby was left with Mrs. Schumacher to
care for and Mrs. Cyr in company with
Gleason was driven to Sioux City.

around town looking Tor Mrs. Cyr at.
tractsd attention. After their de-
parture Sheriff Sherman was notified
and few hours later the sheriff and
the husband followed them to Sioux
City. The night was spent In making
the trip and securing around the city
looking for the fugitives. The name

else probably adding ''and wife. .'rhey
