Enlightened Hays City.

It is q pleasure to see our neigh |
boring newspaper exchanges give
the Bispham Concert nice MOTTO
es. They got free tickets and it
was to be expected and they will
likely get them next year.
Hays City is noted for having
the most enlightened and liter
airy and musical people in the
state Eastern visitors always
remark it. Coming from the
best eastern cities, our people
have been educated that way and
keep it up here, so we have some
elegant musical talent, some en-
pertaining literary people among
us. And the coming of the Nor
nal has much improved it, both
in our society, social gatherings
and churches to which they are
sll gladly welcome.
A con1n,pnity of intelligent peo-
pie we are pleased to live among
and to invite others to come.
Our people showed their know
ledge OF ? good thing when they
fought hard for the Fl. Hays
! Reservation to be for a Normal
School, an educational institu-
ton, rather than a Government
Fort like Fort Riley. Less mon
ey but more enlightenment! PEG
pie buy and build lovely homes
here to stay and make this their
home and are proud of our little
city. They gladly pay the price
to attend anything good always
ready to encourage.
This week EVERY household Of
these people are loud in praise
of the Normal concert, the Jubi-
lee Singers. Last week NEARLY
every home of these people felt
sore over the Bispham concert
and were ready and open in say
ing so. There is no hypocracy-
no make believe you like a thing
when you don with our en-
lightened citizens.
Mr.. Bispham has a great repu-
tation, but he is like some noted
: SOap-Cnefe is no SUES TO make
bubbles, He had a fine voice but
his concert was jumbled togeth-
err; you hardly knew when one
piece ended and another begun
he had no exits or entire; didn't
even know enough to sit down
occasionally, and but for the
printed words the audience would
not have known what he was
singing. From here he went tC
Kansas City and there the pa
pers roasted him to finish.
Here the Jubilee Singers would
draw a crowd again while he
wouldn't have twenty-five in an
audience.
No one blames the Normal PEG
pie, for they also were disap-
pointed, Only it was there med
s"ine and had to be taken. But

BETTER HOUSES NEEDED.

During the past year or two some
Pendleton people have been COM
planning because of a few vacant
dwelling houses. Because a few old
shacks were empty they have tried
to argue that the town was not pro-
crossing.
But the East Oregonian knows of
man who recently hunted for two or
three months to find a suitable house
in which to live. Then the house he
finally rented, though acceptable in
itself, is located at one edge of the
city and is so far from his work that
he cannot go home to lunch.
OF the dwelling houses that are
now vacant, most of them deserve to
go unoccupied. Many of them ara
unfit for people to live in. Some OF
them do not have running water in
the houses. Often there are no sewe
connections.
It is to the credit of Pendleton that
some of these houses are vacant If
the owners wish to rent them they
should fix them up for habitation
Pendleton is not town of paupers
The people here, day laborers as well
a. others. wish decent homes in which
to live.
A few years ago the growth Of
Fendleton was retarded because peo-
PIE who wished to come here could
/ not secure desirable houses at rea-
sonable rents. Any kind of an old
shack could be rented for good
price. But many new homes have
been built and the shortage has been
relieved to an extent. The poorly
built houses are now empty But
there is a scramble for good houses.
If the little tumble-down shacks were
replaced by good, convenient cottages
they could be easily rented.

Too long you've had them at your

You pay no bills with last years

Your hopes may get it in the neck,
Your rainbow's end rest in a
slough,
Let others celebrate Hopes wreck,

THE BRANCH ASYLUM.

Elsewhere in this paper is a story
setting forth the possibility of a
branch asylum for this city This ia
a subject that is worth serious atten-
ton from the people of this city.
From appearances a branch asylum
is going to be absolutely necessary in
Oregon within a few years. 1t is con.
ceded that for climatic reasons it
should be located in eastern Oregon.
Furthermore. its location in this part
OF the state would save transporting
eastern Oregon's insane to Salem.
There may be some who would
nave a prejudice against the location
Of a branch asylum here. But those
who have Investigated the subject de-
clare that no annoyances would result
to the people Of the city and sur
rounding country.
On the other hand the benefits from
a business standpoint would be enor-
n.ous. The branch institution would
have from IS to 100 employees, max
,ag a splendid payroll. Then the local
merchants would have an opportuni'
ty to compete in furnishing thousands
NJ dollars worth Of supplies for the
asylum. Hundreds Of relatives and
friends Of inmates would visit the city
annually.
From hard-headed business
standpoint the branch asylum would
be OF inestimable benefit to the com.
-7erciaI life Of Pendleton. 1t IS from
4 business standpoint that it should
be considered.

THE POOL OF DISHONOR.

1t is amusing, though disgusting, to
observe the quibbling of the local
morning paper upon the subject of
the senatorship.
Time and again that paper has de-
clared that the compulsory statement
law passed by the people of Oregon
last June is no law. 1t holds the law
to be unconstitutional, which it may
be.
This morning the following addi-
tional statement was put forth for the
benefit of the gullible:
There is no statement No. l any
more, even in the direct primary law
OF Oregon. The purpose Of the COM
pulsory statement law enacted last
June by the people was TO supercede
that very feature of statement No.
which makes It discretionary with the
candidate whether he takes it,"
Seemingly the morning advocate Of
pledge breaking is going to rule both
the direct primary law and the COM
pulsory statement law off the statute
books How can it do that? If the
law passed last June is unconstitu-
tional how can it supercede the state
ment feature of the direct primary
law?
One Of the two laws is bound to
stand II the compulsory statemen.
law is upheld the statement l provis-
ion Of the direct primary law is no
longer needed. But If the compul-
scry statement law Is overruled by
the courts the law It would super
cede" still remains.
Then regardless Of all this the SOL
emn pledges taken by the legislators
eject still hold. They would still be
binding no matter If all the laws in
the universe were overruled. An oath
is an oath.
There is simply nothing to it. The
quibblers are caught whichever way
they may turn. They should have let
the subject alone and acquiesced in
Governor Chamberlain's election.
As matters stand the local morning

Pendleton's move TO retain the

presumed, on account OF the fine
reputation its Indian robes and some
o. its other products gained, but it
is to be hoped that without injuring
the Gordon Falls project, the PEN
dleton mill can be retained in that
city, and that the Union mill will be
reopened. Those cities need the in
dustry and Oregon people need the
products they can turn out.
Just why these mills did not sue
oeed we do not know, but it seems
certain that they ought to succeed,
especially if there is ample water
power. Eastern Oregon produces an
enormous surplus of wool and inn
ports an enormous amount of woolen
goods; why not put in operation "a
chain of mills" and save the freight
both ways across the continent, be-
sides one middleman's profit, and
employ a large number of people in
this industry? The Journal has never
doubted that woolen mills could be
made to pay in Oregon. and it is
stronger in that opinion than ever.
Pendleton's reputation as a progress
sive town is at stake in the move to
retain the mill The local busines,
