A TRUST PRESIDENT.

Politicians and big corporations are
determined to stop the Roosevelt
crusade against their depredations if
possible, and for this reason every
corporation attorney who speaks of
the next candidate for the presidency,
mentions Knox, Fairbanks or some
other trust candidate.
Roosevelt is not in their list. He
must be eliminated. His methods
may be good for the common peo-
pie, but they are not good for the
corporations.
Senator Hepburn voiced this quiet
agitation for Knox while in this city,
and it is noticed everywhere among
the ultra conservative politicians and
corporation politicians.
1t is the belief of the East Oregon
ian that Roosevelt delegates to the
next national republican convention
that the president will simply be fore
ed to take the office again, in order
to complete the good work he has in
hand. His mission in the presidential
chair is not yet half ended.
The people don't want Knox or a
Fairbanks.

HELPING COUNTRY TOWNS.

The East Oregonian is the only pa

a regular travelling correspondent
which visits the different parts of its
territory regularly in quest of news.
Every country settlement and town
in Umatilla county is directly bene-

town in the county is represented in

A PRAYER IN THE HILLS.

1 stand upon these earthly heights
And mark with vision clear the way
My feet must tread, I see the road
That shall take till close of day.
Dear Lord, 1 do not ask Of Thee
That Thou shouldst lift the veil and
show
Unto my longing, hungry eyes
The devious path my life must go.
[ do not ask as travellers here,
To know where foaming torrents
lie;
Or where the desert sands glare back
Hot fury to the cruel sky.
My Lord, I ask n greater boon,
Whether in sunshine or in storm
Life's path must lie, ask always
The tender shelter Of Thy arm.
I pray, Lord, wheresoe'er I pass
In smiling vale or dreary place,
That I may know unto the end
The boundless wonder of Thy grace
-Aline II. Triplette.

PENDLEToN is REASONABLE.

Pendeton is willing to trust the i'm
provement of the train service on the
o. r. & y. to the railroad commits
sion and the officials of the road.
The people of this city are not un-
reasonable and believe that the COM
mission is doing everything in its
power to improve conditions without
imposing downright hardships on the
roads.
All the people want is reasonable
service, trains on time, clean coaches
and room to sit down. If these can
be furnished without the extension of
the Biggs local train to this city, all
right. Pendleton will accept it cheer
fully.
There is a general sentiment that
Q clean coach on westbound trains for
use of local travel would be better, if
it could be added at once, than the
promise of full local train to Port
land with the prospect of years S
contest in the courts before the train
could be installed, if even.
In addition to this the Walla Walla
passenger train should be put in serv-
ice again to furnish the people of the
east end Of Umatilla county better
service during harvest.
The railroad commission is secur.
ing good results and Pendleton is will.
ing to credit it with every improve.
ment made.

The pipe me father used to smoke
Is hangin' on the wall,

At all, at all, at all;
The cowhide boots he used to wear
Stand in the corner near,
Beneath the go-to-meetin' coat
He wore for twenty year.

AS still as still can be,
An not a voice from anywhere

that the service is. appreciated.
This service will be continued and
increased as these settlements grow
and the field of the East Oregonian
extends. 1t will be made a special
feature to give the country news and
furnish a daily review of Umatila
county happenings.
There are drawbacks to the mail
service throughout the county, but
every effort will be made to reach
every community on the first train
leaving Pendleton after the hour of
issue and If patrons fail to receive
their paper promptly they are re-
quested to notify this office.

sIPES' FAITH WAS REWARDED.

A congregation in a hilly district
in Ohio bought small tract of land
and erected a church building upon it,.
Then the question of insurance came
up. Mr. Sipes, the wealthiest mem-
ber, who had contributed more than
half the money needed for the new
structure. declared that he did not
believe in insurance. This is the
Lords building. He'll take care of
it," he said.
His view prevailed and there was no
insurance. In few weeks the build
ing was struck by lightning and almost
was erected. Mr.. Sipes contributing
the greater portion of the fund as be-
fore. This time the demand was al
most unanimous that it be insured,
but Mr. Sipes again objected on the
same ground.
"If it burns down again. brethren
he said, "In agree to built it my
self"
Again he carried his point. In less
than month tho new church was
struck by lightning again, and al
though strenuous efforts were made
to save it, the loss was almost total.
"There must be some reason fol
this. brethren" said Brother Sipes
81 am going to find out what it is"
Thereupon he employed a force Of
men to sink shaft on the site of tht
twice destroyed church. Within a few
days a rich vein of iron ore was founC
and the church property sold fol
many times the amount needed to bu!
land in another locality and builC
again.
81 tell YOU, brethren" said Brothe
Sipes, at pays to trust the Lord. He
a great deal better business manage
than anybody in this congregation.

Seven railroads are now being built
in Idaho, about the same number in

three in Montana and Wyoming. 1t
does not look as though the railroads
had any serious fears that the Roose-

their business.

1t is strange that the big fraternal,
religious and other conventions of the
United states are practically all held
during the summer season in the far
east where the sweltering heat kills
and prostrates people in their parades
and convention halls. 1t would seem
that common business judgment
would bring these big meetings to the
Pacific coast in the summer season,
where heat prostrations are unknown
and where delegates could enjoy a
genuine outing in the delightful coast
weather.

Evidence Not Sufficient.

Tony Williams, a blonde-haired
Italian about twenty-five years of age,
was arrested Monday by Officer
Westenberg on a warrant sworn out
by Mrs. Ida May Miller. who charged
that Williams had mistreated her IA
year-old daughter. Pearl McNutt. Last
evening the girl told story TO Chief
Bailey which implicated Williams.
Yesterday the girl appeared at
police headquarters with her mother
and told Prosecutor Jessup a story
that was entirely different from the
one she had told Chief Bailey. After
hearing this the prosecutor decided
that the evidence against the young
Italian was conspicuous by it's abb
sence, so he ordered the man released.
