East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-02-19

Salem. Feb. 19.-(Special. 1.-The
first Oregon railroad commission un-
der the law just passed was born in
Salem last night when the state board,
consisting of the governor, secretary
of state and the state treasurer named
Oswald West of Salem, T. K. Campbell
of Cottage Grove. and Clyde r. Aitch-
isor of Portland as such commission.
Oswald West, who is the present
state land agent, was the choice of
Governor Chamberlain. Treasurer
Steel named Aitchison, who is collec-
tor for the Portland Guarantee &
Trust company and former secretary
of the oregon tax commission, and
Secretary of State Benson named
Campbell, who is a lumberman of
Cottage Grove and an active worker
In the Willamette Valley Development
league.
While the appointment of Aitchison
and Campbell were surprises, yet there
is no opposition and to western Ore
gon and Portland, at least, the COM
mission seems to be satisfactory, al
though a number of eastern Oregon
citizens have bitterly criticized the ac-
ton of the board in ignoring eastern
| Oregon on the commission.
Normal School MIDDLE Deepens.
Although II had been agreed that
no further bills be introduced, yet
after the veto of the normal school
measure by Governor Chamberlain
yesterday bills were introduced for
the appropriation of funds for the
maintenance of Weston and Ashland
| in the house and for the maintenance
| of Monmouth in the senate. A bill
for the support of Drain was defeated
| in the house.
The introduction of these bills only
deepens the normal school muddle
and It Is not known how 1t will end
! before the session closes. The bills
introduced last night in the house
provide for $4,000 for the Ashland
school. and $4,000 for Weston. The
senate bill carries $4,000 for the sup
port of Monmouth.

rRAMPs WHO DO o o
Apple Tree Johnny Has Successor In
Nut Planting Hobo.

The story is told of a Pennsylvania
tramp who in his wanderings up and
down on the earth carries his pockets
full of nuts, which he plants as he
goes. For three years he has followed
this practice, says the Virginia Pilot,
and during that time is said to have
planted thousands and thousands of
nuts, always seeking the out-of-the-way
spots-rocky n. sides and abandoned
lands at the edges of creeks and
streams-so that the chances of the
trees being d" royed before they
grow up and mature will be minimiz-
ed. This old tramp is doing something
more than guaranteeing the future
youth of Pennsylvania against the
loss of the JOY of nutting. He is set
ting an example in tree planting which
the farmers throughout the land may
well follow with profit to themselves
and to the country. This nut-planting
tramp recalls another member of the
wandering tribes. He was known
throughout the country as Apple Tree
Johnny from his habit of planting APP
pie seeds in fence orner and other
hooks. Many a wayside fruit tree il
said to owe its existence to Apple Tree
Johnny.

Los Angeles Prohibitionists Name Well
Known Leader for Head of the Ticket
in 1908

Los ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, December 12.-(Spe-
cial correspondence MIR. FRED F. WHEELER of
this city on Monday night reported to the Central
Prohibition Club, in an address entitled "The
Outlook for 9s" the work of the national com
mittee at its recent session in Chicago. AS would
naturally be expected, Los Angeles is somewhat
disappointed at its failure to get the convention,
but it has determined that, if it cannot serve as
host of the convention, it will at least present an
acceptable candidate, and this week the California
Voice will nominate Mr.. F. F. WHEELER, the
motion being supported by number of leading
Prohibition workers, including c.. J. HALL, REY-.
MOLD E. BLIGHT, and M. w. ATWOOD.
It is understood that Mr.. HALL, who does the
field secretary work in Los Angeles county, is
about to take similar position with the state
committee of Texas.
The state convention, for the election of dele
gates to the National Convention, and for the
election of a new State Committee, will be held
at Modesto during the last week in May

DALLAS, TEXAS, December 14-(Specia cor
respondence. lin spite of bad weather and
unfavorable season of the year, Prohibition work
in Texas goes cheeringy. Organizer SPUR
CEoN in two weeks in and about Hutchns has
added more than sixty signers to the voters
pledge. Organizer HICKMAN in this city reports
fair success Early in January the Prohibitionists
of Dallas will hold an organized meeting and
made preparation for good compaign.
State Treasurer PAGE announces that in spite
of the financial handicap the full amount of the
state debt has been subscribed, and as
the pledges are paid the committee will be on
cash basis In two days recent work in Coke
vile, Willie and Farmersville Mr.. PAGE secured
twenty FIVE straight enrolment pledges and SOB

Literature work is encouraging, requests for
supplies coming to headquarters constantly
c. J. HALL of Los Angeles, California, is
pecting to enter work in Texas in February,
accepting the position of state organizer for the
Prohibition party. Mr.. HALL is we'll known to

produce good results. The Rev. GEORGE c.
ULMER of Indiana has also been employed as
state organizer His field will probably be in
eastern Texas. O. W. OUTLANDER is to begin
work in southern Texas at the close of December.
He has already done much efficient work for the
committee in the past. Mrs M. A. CULBERsoN
of Hisboro has offered to organize Hill county
for the party and will probably take UP the work
soon The state committee has a fine line of
new tracts ready for free distributions they
be had by applying to Secretary P. F. PAGE of

that prohibition don't prohibit" and that there
is lot more splitting done where it is pro-
hbited than where splitting is unrestricted. They
ought to understand better that popularity Of
human nature which irresistibly prompts a man
to do what he is forbidden to do.
The Reading Railroad Company recently dis
charged thirty men because they drunk beer, when
off of duty, and other railroads are doing the
same. DO these railroads suppose that they can
coerce or make them moral by discharging
them
Is not the example of Mr.. Roosevelt noble
one? At St. Louis he drank his glass empty
What a beautiful example he set to the soldiers
and sailors of manly independence, so unlike
these railroad and express and life insurance
presidents who attempt to make moral by
law. What an inspiration is the President of
this great republic to the youth of land to
defy these exacting employers and drink what
they please and when they please. And what
rebuke he administered to meddlesome ministers
when, IN writing to Mrs Storer, he takes occa-
sion to rebuke ''those fool Methodist preachers
who wish to abolish the army canteen"
You cranks think you are going to mop up the
earth with the liquor men, but you must remem-
Der that they can raise millions to your tens
with which to buy legislators and judges and
mayors. They raised five thousand dollars in
columns of Philadelphia paper to show UP one
of your cranks in the gubernatorial fight
year ago, and hired man to make an oath to
statement they wrote. And they control the
courts Ii worse comes to worst they know how
to firearms and dynamite bombs Remember
the fate of Haddock and take timely warning.
Don't imagine that "the holier than thou
crowd is invunerable to the Establishments of
liquor sellers gold Did they not, in connection
with the state thieves, fully six years ago buv
of your number, preacher, Methodist
preacher, Prohibition preacher, to turn his
batteries the Prohibitionists, and bring charges
against one of your number and has he not been
employed on Capitol Hill ever since at eighteen
hundred dollars year So you see that Pro-
hbitionists can be bought, and your forces can
be divided.
Absolute Prohibition benefit? Who will it
benefit? WE'LL you haven't got it yet You may
get local option as compromise measure, posi-
bly,, and then get beaten at the polls. Some of
you cranks will get hurt, if you don't let up on
this crusade. You preachers won't get all your
vote, but if you let up you will get both the
liquor and the church vote, for church men stick
to their party always.

skeleton keys from him, if you caught him, and
thus deprive him of the tools with which he
makes his living And if Prohibition prevails,
what is to become of the three hundred judges
and their eight million dollars of salaries? Half
their time is spent in granting licenses and try
ing cases growing out of it. 1t would require
only half the number of judges. Would you de-

altermen constabes and policemen who spend
most of their time in and get most of their
salaries for, catching and Furnishing common
DRINKS. Do you want to impoversh them?
Have you no feeling of sympathy for the sherifs
who imprison and hang these DRINKS when they
commit crime? Do you propose to take their
jobs from them? And the undertaken and grave
diggers and tombstone makers who furnish the
collins and shrouds, and dig the graves and cut
that you say die annually, have they no rights
that Prohibitionists bound to respect?
And what right has the government to inter-
fere with mans personal liberty? If he chooses
to sell or drink milk, which the milk man has
watered milk taken from the udder of tuber-

whose business is it? What right has the govern
