LET THE TRIALS PROCEED.

The Oregon land fraud cases have
been prosecuted in such seemingly
good faith by the Roosevelt admin
istration, that it would really be dis
appointing to the friends of the presi-
dent to have the cases stopped now,
on the eve of presidential election.
The cases were started in sincerity,
prosecuted with vigor and have been
the means of restoring oregon in the
esteem of the nation. Now, no mat
ter who Is enmeshed in the ramifica-
tions of the frauds, let US proceed.
To stop now would seem cowardly.
To call off the prosecutor on the eve
of a campaign would neutralize all
the good effect of the prosecutions
that have gone by.

BRYAN's UNIQUE RECORD.

No other modern American has
kept up such a wonderful campaign
of speech-making, such a remarkable
mental warfare as has William Jen-
nings Bryan.
For the past II years, since he first
became a candidate for the presi-
dency, he has been continuously be-
fore the public. Scarcely a week has
passed in which he has not addressed
a meeting of his fellow citizens, and
with every speech his hold upon the
public mind has been strengthened
and intensified.
He does not repeat. He has a new
message for every succeeding speech.
His keen mind is so remarkably fer
tile that it is a never-failing source

WHAT HE WOULD DO WITH
MONEY.

A young man formerly of this city,
hut now residing in Portland, said to
the East Oregonian yesterday:
when l make a stake l am COM
ing back to Pendleton and build me
a home, and if 1 can spare $1,000
from my accumulations, / am going
to use 1t in beautifying Pendleton's
cemetery. 1t is shame to have such
a desolate cemetery in connection
with such a prosperous town"
That is one young mans idea of
what money is really for.
While there was no attempt at
grandiloqueDce in his speech, yet it
was delivered in such a heartfelt
manner, that it was really brilliant,
inspiring, magnificent.
If every man held a similar view
on the use of money, what a lovely
place Pendleton could be made!
What superb improvements could be
made. IL every man with good bank
account in Pendleton would contrib
ute but a mite to such splendid mis-
sions.
How useless seems pile Of Idle
coin, when just at the city limits is a
desolate burial ground, pointing It's
silent fingers in rebuke at those who
could IL they would, improve 1t.

HOW TO MAKE A TOWN GROW.

Every person living in Pendleton,
and especially every home owner in
Pendleton, is interested in making
the town grow, in seeing property
values increase, in witnessing an in
creasing volume of business.
Then Pendleton institutions should
be considered first, Pendleton pro-
ducts should be given preference, for
il we increase Pendleton manufac-
lures, it will make more business, in
crease payrolls, stimulate interest in
local institutions.
When you go to buy a roll of but
ter. call for Pendleton butter; when
you buy cigar, call for Pendleton
cigar: when you want ice, insist on
having Pendleton ice; if you buy a
blanket, be sure it is a Pendleton
blanket; If you need flour, order Pen
dleton flour; when you buy any other
article manufactured in this city, in
sist on having the home product.
1t is not profitable to Pendleton
home owners to build up Walla Walla,
Portland, Spokane, Seattle institu-
tions. Remember home institutions
are spending their money here. They
are building up Pendleton, furnish
ing employment for Pendleton and
are adding value to Pendleton proper
ty.
BE loyal. Don't tear down the
home town. This is our illihee.

OPTIMISM.

Yesterday evening rainbow
stretched its beauteous arch across
the western sky, so near that it
seemed one could almost touch its
radiant form.
Everybody loves a rainbow be-
cause from time immemorial it has
been the universal symbol of hope, of
promise. No matter how dark the
storm, how forbidding the heavens,
the sight of the rainbow dispels the
gloom and hope lifts UP its radiant
face.
There are many people in the world
who are continually gloomy. For
them there is no rainbow. They are
gloomy from habit rather than from
any other cause. Cheerfulness to
them is a foreign element. They are
out of joint, out of harmony. Every
body about them absorbs something
OF their unpleasant disposition and
they make life miserable for them
selves and their associates.
Optimism is just as cheap. 1t does
not cost a cent more to smile. The
rainbow is free to them. They could
enjoy life and let others enjoy, by
looking hopeful into the future. They
would live longer IL they would take
an occasional deep breath of real op-
timistic, cheerful good noture.
Many physical diseases are born of
the mental pictures we draw.

New York. June 15.-R- G. Dun 6
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Despite some improvement weather
conditions have continued adverse for
retail trade at most points, and bust
ness is only stimulated by bargain
sales. Prospects for fall distribution
are brighter. because of the better crop
reports, and manufacturers receive lib
eral orders for next season. Current
conditions, however, are not satisfac-
tory, and mercantile collections are be
low normal, except in sections where
country store keepers have been ena-
bled TO make prompt settlements be-
cause high prices attracted much mar
keting of last years grain.
Record-breaking production of pig
iron without causing accumulation is
ample evidence of unprecedented ac-
tivity in the steel industry. Implement
makers buy bars regardless of reports
that crops are smaller, and the con-
gestion at pipe and sheet mills is not
relieved. New business in structural
shapes comes forward steadily.
