BE Up TO Date or Fail.

y physician tells me that he goes
through his medical library every
year and throws out lot of books
which have become useless to him be-
cause the new, the up-to-date. the
more progressive, are pushing out the
old.
We all know that some of the sci
entific books published are useless a
year after they appear in print. There
never was a time in the history of the
world when the new in every line of
endeavor crowded out the old as it
does today.
If you examine your business thor
oughly you will probably find old
fcgy methods, obsolete ideas, and
cumbersome ways of doing things;
lot of red tape in your methods.
Remember that nothing else is i'm
proving faster than business methods.
If you are keeping books as they
were kept a quarter of a century ago,
If you are using the same business
system, you will find that you are
way behind the times.

IMPORTANCE OF THE MOVE.

Already the East oregonian has
said many things in behalf of the
Pendleton wooden mill. 1t has
brought out many reasons why the
mill should be retained. With all its
power it has worked for the retention
of the industry.
But there are two more very forcf-
bic points in connection with the
movement and it may be we'll to men,
ton them. now that time for final
action has arrived.
The woolen mill means a payroll
for the city If the mill is retained
and built up to the possibilities of the
business it means that a brigade of
we'll paid workers will have their
homes here This will mean more
business for merchants, more ten
ants for property owners and an in
creased population for the city. Pay
rolls are what transform a town into
a city. If Pendleton wishes to be
something more than a good country
town it must have payrolls. 1t must
build up from within as well as from
without.
The second argument this paper
wishes to make in behalf of the WOOL
en- mill movement is this:
Pendleton is now on the eve of
new period-a period of development,
There are many things in store for
the town, if the people but reach out
and get them. The advancement of
the city is going to depend largely up
on the efforts put forth by those who
are here.
The movement to retain the woolen
mill marks the opening of this cam
paign, which is one for the industrial
ard commercial advancement of the
town and county.
II the mill can be saved it will mean
that the opening fight has been won.
Encouraged by their success local
people will then take hold Of the
propositions. They will make them
&c also. Within a few years we will
see a larger and better Pendleton.
UmatiIla county will become great
er county.
Should the woolen mill movement
fail it will be discouraging to these
people There will be little use for
further work towards making Pendle-
ton a manufacturing town. If a wool
en- mill cannot be operated here, what
sort Of an industry can? This is a
wool town.
In view Of these things the wooden
mill should be saved. It should be
held here even if the cost were much
greater than it will be-

The Unemployed in Great Britain.

The number of unemployed in
Great Britain is exceedingly large, ac-
cording to various reports, and the
government is much perplexed over
relief measures The Manchester
Guardian says:
How many men and women are un-
employed is not known. Mr.. Keir
Hardie estimates the number at g.,
100000; his colleague and chief, Mr..
Shackleton. at 100000. The gov
ernment offers no estimate; but that
the figure is exceptionally high is be-
yond question; and even if we accept
Mr.. Burns view that the labor mar
ket in the winter of 1906 was worse,
T. remains a fact that all the efforts
Of the local government board to
equate labor demand and labor sup
ply have produced no very material
effect

THE GREAT ISSUE.

In the following editorial the Ore
gon Daily Journal sets forth the one
great proposition involved in the sem
atorial controversy:
The real issue in the senatorial con-
troversy is not who Is to be the man
that Is to be senator. It is not a
question Of what is his name. It is
not a question Of what is his party
The real issue is bigger than the man.
II is bigger than any party. II IS a
principle. Men die and parties de-
cay, but a principle is eternal 1t
never changes. IT IS the same yes
torday and tomorrow. A principle Of
this character is at stake in Oregon.
II is one that has been controverted
and warred over since the beginning.
/; is one over which rivers Of blood
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-12-03

have been shed and multitudes OF
men slain, 1t is the time worn ques,
tiUn OF whether the many shall rule
themselves, or whether they shall
be ruled by few, II is the question
of whether the many shall be mas,
ters, or whether they shall be serv-
ants.
As. presented in oregon, It is in
changed form, but is still the same
old controversy issue. In Oregon 1t
takes the form of whether the choice
Of a senator shall be dictated by un-
scrupulous bosses, or whether he shall
be named by all the people. The
bosses assert that it should be done
by the few; the people insist that it
should be made by the many. This is
the issue, and it is all there is of the
issue 1t is squarely presented, and
the question is whether the bosses are
to have their way, or whether the
people are to have their way There
IS no other Interpretation that can be
placed upon the present discussion.
side issues may be raised, but they
are not germane. Those who faver
popular selection of senator's are
,n one side, and those who favor
selection by bosses are on the other. |
There is absolutely no chance of
misunderstanding. "The OK know |
'th his owner, and the ass his masters |

WHY He Did Not Get On.

He did not keep his stock fresh
and up to date, or work off the sur
plus stock.
He was not reliable on styles.
He overpurchased or underpurchas-
ed without ascertaining what he had
on hand.
He did not know that customers
lose confidence in the splendid, sys
temless store.
He could not work to a plan or
program.
He was always hurrying and hustl-
ing, but to no purpose.

Portland papers are now urging a
sure and speedy enforcement of the
law against murder They ask that in
the trial Of Finch, the cowardly slay-
er Of Ralph Fisher, the usual techni-
cal objections and delays be barred.
They should be barred. Finch was
caught in redhanded brutal MUIR
der. His punishment should fit his
crime and If in his case justice acts
with speed the example will be the
more effective.

You might as well try TO thaw out
frozen pipe with an ice cake as to

If your heart is in your work your
enthusiasm will often cause a would

trying to make a sale.

HAIR TELLS CHARACTER.
Color of Hair Said to Indicate . Per-

Many people believe that blonde, Of
light hair denotes affection and dark

is not devoid Of character; far from 1t.

Financial credit is not based upon
property or capital, cleverness or
ability so much as upon character.
Reliability is at the base of all sta
bility. If young man has character
combined with ability, he can get
credit and backing anywhere. Robert
c. ogden, John Wanamaker's former
partner, says that almost any young
man who possesses the ability can get
credit to start in business for himself
IL he has character, If he is absolute
ly reliable.

KLOCK'S BETTING CASE
THROWN OUT OF COURT

The story of how Benny" Klock,
the well-known saloonkeeper, lost an
election wager came out in Judge Don
ovan's court Thursday morning. when
Benny brought suit against Mossie
Brown, a salesman employed by Nc
Williams & Moore. the Cadillac-sq.
grocers.
Klock alleges that during the last
election campaign he placed $500 with
Brown to bet on Sheriff Burns. He.
claims that Brown bet only 5000 and
put the rest in his pocket, and he
brought suit to recover
Brown tells a different story. He
admits getting the $500. and says his
instructions were to place It on Geo.
F. Codd, which he did, and lost AZ
ter the election Klock came TO him
and wanted his 81 900. and appeared
to be very much surprised when told
that 1t had been bet on Codd. Kloch
declared then that Browns instruc-
tons We're to bet on Burns.
AS soon as Judge Donovan learned
the nature OF the case, ne took 1t from
the jury. holding that bets on cleo
tons are Illegal and criminal, and
that the courts cannot be held to en-
force such contracts

FEDERAL ofFlcfHoLpERs PLAN

VENTION-MANY DELEGATES
INSTRUCTED FOR president.

CHICAGO, June 4.-There is in the
Auditorium Annex today. $4,000 TO
be used by federal officehoIders as
campaign fund for the convention 10
stampede the delegates for President
Roosevelt. despite his many times re
peated refusal Of the honors.
This story, one OF the most surpr.s
ing which has yet sprung out OF the
allies or anti-Taft camp. was widely
circulated in convention circles, to
day. II revived the undercurrent OF
expression that the convention
would get into row over the cand.'
dates now after the nomination. some
one would start something and then Il
silvertongued person would arise
upon his chair and tell what a world
beaten Mr.. Roosevelt Is and would be
again. The seven aspiring candidates
would then be heard to slide into the
discards.
Many OF the delegates who will be
in Chicago this and next week are in
structed for Roosevelt first and Taft
next Mr. Taft has done considerable
talking and made numerous promises.
Many OF the most influential Office
holders. so the story goes. find that,
| If the promises are held good, they
will be minus their pay checks. That
all depends upon the election OF Mr..
Taft. The natural logic OF this situa-
tion is that these men should not want
him nominated or elected and so turn
To Mr.. Roosevelt, whose continuance
In the job means safety for them.
This situation makes II plain how
$4,000 as campaign fun might be
raised and how the power OF the fed
erai officeholders might be felt when
the convention begins.
