MITTEE HELD MEETING
Call for Meeting of All Precinot COM
mittecmen OH May 2, Is Issued
Mr.. Peterson Sends His Greeting 10
the Democrats of the County and
Urges Action.

Attorney Will NJ. Peterson of this
| city, who was yesterday elected chair
man of the Umatilla county demo-
cratic central committee, has issued
the following letter to the democratic
voters of the county and call for a
meeting Of the central committee for

this city. Mr. Peterson says:
Pendleton, ore, April %, 1908.
To the democratic precinct commit
teemen of the various precincts OF
Umatilla county and to democrats
in general of the County, greeting:
Unsought. unsolicited, and over my
urgent protest, 1 was elected chair
man of the democratic central COM
mittee yesterday by the precinct
committeeman present from several
different sections of the county. This
was done at a meeting pursuant to
a call by William Moore, then chair
man, for the purpose of electing
chairman for the ensuing two years
and for other business.
The meeting was quite enthusiastic
and harmonious and it is to be re-
GREETED that no more Of the precinct
committeeman were present. 1t was
agreed, among other things, that on
Saturday, May 2, 1908, at l p. m, in
the court house in this city another
meeting of the various precinct COM
mitteemen would be held for the pur-
pose of selecting delegates to the
state convention and for transacting
such other and further business as
might be expedient. 1t was further
agreed that a general invitation be
given to all democrats of the county
to be present at that time.
The salutary principles of our pri-
mary election law are meeting with
the hearty approval of all parties, es-
pecially the great mass of the COM
mon people, and the "boss," the JOB
ber," the political trickster" In Ore
gon politics is noticeably getting 10
be a thing of the past.
An era of good clean, wholesome
government in which all of the peo-
pie are at liberty to take an active
part Is now at our service. But po-
liticaf parties are very essential, un-
der our system of government, and
democracy must continue to play It's
part; this is why, at this time, in this
county, we are seeking to have gen.
eral meeting of the various commit
teemen and democrats in general on
the aforesaid date.
We must understand each other;
must know where we are, and as Ions
as | am chairman of the central COM
mittee no "jobs shall be put up; no
"bosses" shall rule, but the people
who compose the democratic party
in Umatilla county shall be heard,
and it shall be my purpose to keep
in touch with the demands of the
party as nearly as l can and l earn
estly solicit the hearty cooperation
Of every member Of the party.

BAD BILLS CIRCULATING.
Counterfeiters Busy in Different Parts
of the Country-Appear in Oregon.

Counterfeiters in several parts OF
the country have been busy during
the winter and recently efforts Of their
work have just appeared in the mar
ket. Notification of three new spuri-
GUS notes have been received by the
treasury department officials in Port
land.
one Of them is a $50 gold certifi-
cate and while It is a good represen-
tation of the original issue by Uncle
Sam, the color is little off, the
counterfeiter not being particular re-
garding the ink, the result being that
his new bill is the shade OF a nice
ripe lemon instead of the orange
shade in the genuine bills.
This new bill turned up in New
York. 1t is remarkably we'll done,
the counterfeter having paid partic-
ular attention to nearly all the minor
details except the color. The bill was
done by means Of photo etched plates,
afterward given impressions on two
sheets of paper with silk threads be-
tween.
Another of the recent bills first was
discovered in southeastern Missouri
and was evidently the work of farmer
boys who tired of following the plow
and doing chores about the old home
stead had decided to get rich quick
and live with ease without working.
Uncle Sam viii attend to the question
IF meals and beds for the Young men
II they are caught.
This note is a particularly crude
affair of the national bank note Of the
$40 denomination. It is also the re-
suit of photo etched plates and the
nix being rough and carelessly ham
iled It is a poor imitation. An
other note which has recently appear
I'd is that of a silver certificate of the |
indian head variety,

In HONOR OF LEE.

The statue of Robert Z. Lee, for
which the State of Virginia will
ask a place in the Memorial Hall
of the Capitol at Washington, has
Just been completed. In the near
future Congress will be asked to
accept the gift, and the strong
hope and belief is that no individual
or organization in the whole length
or breadth of the North will so
much as murmur against the inten-
ton to honor the memory of the
great Confederate soldier.
If it had been said in the days
Immediately following the Civil
War that in time a memorial to
Lee would have a place of honor
in the nations Capitol there would
have been few to admit such a
thing was possible. Time has
brought its changes. Robest E.
Lee is honored in the North only
to degree less than he is honored
in the South. He was an American
who fought as he thought, and he
was one of the greatest soldiers
who ever went to battle.
In no other country on earth
than this is it likely the govern
ment would consent to admit into
the halls of its Capitol memorial
of man who had fought against
It's unity as nation. The fact
that it is possible here is a tribute
to the American spirit. Lee will
have place beside Washington,
another son of Virginia, in the
country's hall OF fame, and Amer
leans are glad of it.-Chicago Post.
