ROOSEVELT STANDS PAT.
President Again Urges the Enactment
Of Necessary Legislation.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. The or.
ganized efforts by certain wealthy
men to discredit the administr alton
and the duty to carry on the crusade
against the unlawful methods of the
trusts is made by President Roose.
velt the subject of q special message
to congress today. The president
says the purpose of these men Is the
cause of the reaction of sentiment and
their efforts are directed to prevent
legislation needed to carry out the
reforms sought.
Replying to the cry that his policies
hurt business the president says:
1.-THE business hurt by the movement
for honesty is the kind of business 1t
pays the country to have hurt
He says the common law is not
enough to remedy corporation abuses
so national and state governments
must work together. In the next para
graph the president urges the neces-
sity for the government to provide in
some manner for employees killed or
injured in the government service, and
especially in the work on the Panama
canal.
He points out in strong language
the need of some action in connection
with the abuses of inJunctions in labor
cases, declaring that the rights and
wrongs of labor and capital, from
blacklisting to boycotting, are ad.
mirably covered in the report of the
anthracite coal strike commission,
which would serve as a chart for leg
islative and executive officers.
He takes up the subject of federal
supervision Of railroads, saying tn at
| in no other way can justice be done
| between private owners of property
and the public which pays the charges.
In reference to the Sherman anti -trus st
law he repeats the same recommend "a
tion made in his previous messages.
He takes up and quotes in full the
CORES spondence with Francis }. Heney
of San Francisco in connection with
the Santa Fe rebate cases, showing
tn at President Ripley of the road who
severely criticised the administration
had a part in the making of rates and
rebates which led to the cons lclion ol
the road for rebating.
The message was handed to congress
after a discussion of federal supervi
sion, the recommend a,ions about whicI
the president repeats from former me.
sages. He urges that some methoC
should be adopted To control the rail
roads, if only in a caut,o ous way. The
president also includes in his message
a report from the chief of the burea,
of corporations on statements ISSUED
by and on behalf of the Standard OF
company, also an answer by the at
torney genera! to statements made b,
President Ripley Of the Santa Fee roat

SENATORIAL SMOKE.

Every tenderfoot who goes to con-
gress awaits a favorable opportunity
to make a hit," as it were, to "elec-
trify" his hearers with some new and
startling facts. Senator Taylor of
Tennessee, is the last of these flam-
boyant orators to jump up on a desk
and yell and he selected President
Roosevelt as the subject for an i'm
passioned and red fire speech yester-
day.
Railing at concentrated wealth has
come TO be a fad with those members
OF congress who have no real work to
do. Senator Taylor thinks he is "call-
ed" to this task and his attack on
the president for his alleged failure
to suppress the trusts is a true index
to Taylor's calibre.
No thoughtful man in the United
States will deny that Theodore Roos-
evelt has made an earnest and con-
scientlous effort to check the en-
croachments of predatory wealth.
No honest man will deny that the
president has done all that any other
man in the United States could do to
restore to the people their right and
preserve the sacred liberties of the
masses from absorption by the classes.
Roosevelt has not given the rein to
the trusts, but has used every law at
his command to check them. He has
not given capital the rein, but has
used every means at hand to curb and
control Its greed.
Senator Taylor filled the senate
chamber with smoke; he made
wordy "smudge" which attracted
transit attention, but when 1t cleared
away, Senator Taylor appeared small
er and more Insignificant than be-
fore.
He had "barked up the wrong tree"
The president which he had so bitter
" abused, had done the very things
which Senator Taylor wished done.
He has used every effort to check
wealth and to protect
he liberties Of the masses.

TREND OF THE HIGH SCHOOL.

There is a wholesome tendency to-
ward the practical things of life and
government in Pendleton high school.
The best index to this excellent trend
is seen in the subjects of the gradua-
tion orations. Two OF those oratlons
are to be given upon the subjects OF
Statement No. /" and THE Initia-
tive and Referendum" dry subjects
for a high school graduate, who is
filled with his dreams and fancles,
but yet they are subjects of supreme
interest to the thoughtful student.
The East Oregonian is delighted to
note this practical trend of high
school sentiment. The making OF
good citizens is a part OF the work OF
the high school and the good citizen
is the one who seeks to understand
his government first and then who
conscientiously obeys its behests.
Life is not a dream and education
is not all frills and furbelows. Grad
uation from the high school course is
just a beginning The real struggle
starts when the textbook is closed at
the end of the course.
The activities of the industrial and
commercial world are keen and try
ing and 1t is we'll that the graduate
ends his school work with the practi-
cal side of life foremost in his mind.
You will need every iota of practical
knowledge you can gain and then
you will feel that you are sadly lack
ing at times, when you rub against
the practical world.
Making a living, assisting in the
betterment Of social and moral condi-
tions, the carrying forward of the
highest ideals of government and the
fearless discharge of the duties of
citizenship are some of the more
practical duties which fall to the lot
of the citizen and these have no frills
upon them. They are hard, clean
cut duties which often carry many !
unpleasant features and all education
should fit one to meet these fearless
ly.
The trend Of Pendleton high school
is toward this practical side Of citi-
zenship and life. 1t is a wholesome
and vigorous tendency and will at
tract hundreds of young people to the
school.

CAKE ANSWERS DETRACTOR.

The repeated false and unfair state
ments Of Governor Chamberlain's
mouthpiece, the Oregon Daily Jour-
nal, concerning H. NJ. Cake and his
alleged abandonment OF those politi-
cal principles which he advocated be-
fore the primaries and upon which he
was elected candidate for senator by
a handsome majority, have brought
out from Mr. Cake an emphatic denial
of the Journals charges and a refu-
tation Of all its campaign charges
against him.
Republicans need not fear. H. NJ.
Cake will be found standing pat on
statement No. l and every other pro-
gressive principle which he has es-
poused. He made a fight for that
principle in his own party and won
out and is now the republican candi-
date for the United States senate, the
highest office within the gift of the
people Of a state and he will fill that
office with ability and dignity
In answering the Journals charges,
Mr Cake says:
--'T stand as always have stood,
. firmly for statement No. 1, and the
