Important Notice to
Certain Subscribers.

Those Subscribers to The
News who have not yet paid
their subscriptions are remind
ed of the fact that in two weeks
the new postal regulation in re-
lation to newspaper subscribers
in arrears aoiLI become efective,
the time having been extended
by the postoffice depart
ment from January 1st,
to April 1st, in order to
give publishers and their pa
irons ample time in which to
prepare for the new law.
AS previously explained, a
publisher violating the regula-
ton or rule referred to will
forfeit his second-class mail
privileges, and forfeiture, of
course, would mean death to his
publication. Having no choice
in the matter, therefore, we
announce that we shall comply
with the regulation by dropping
from our books on April l all
subscriptions not paid up to
January lst, 1908.
"Send paper on; I'll pay for
it soon," is a message often re-
ceived at this office, and we
should like to further indulge
those asking us to wait On them,
but it is not IN o,tr pOa0er to do so.
After April l our books are Ii
able to be inspected at any
time by a postoffice inspector.
Moreover, we will be required
to make affidavit that we are
complying with the new regu-
lation.
We earnestly appeal to all
subscribers in arrears to "get
straight" on our books before
April /.

Bryan and tho Democratic
Nomination--In Letter to
Editor Gonzales "The Peer
less Leader" Says a Few
Editors Should not Decide
for the People.
Columbia, March 1S. VIM.
j. Bryan, in letter TO w. <.
Gonzales, editor of The State,
says that it is not for HIM to dis.
cuss the question of availability
of candidates. His availability
as candidate, he says, is not
question upon which his judg-
ment should be ventured or ac-
cepted. ~ have simply stated
that it is a question for the voters
of the party to determine.
As q Democrat l have resented
the claim that a few editors
should decide for the people. l
am believer in free speech and
free press and | recognize the
right of an editor, whe'her his
circulation be large or small, to
state his opinion and his reason
for it +; but those who read his
opinion have right to give it
such weight as they think it de-
serves. / have insisted that the
readers ought to know what Pc
cuniary interest the editor has in
the questions under discussion.
For instance, l asked the World
to state editorially what financial
interest its owner, Mr.. Pulitzer,
has in the stock and bonds of
railroads and in the stock and
bonds of corporations commonly
known as trusts. The World
has not seen fit to answer the
question.
I do not deny the right Of Har-
riman or Morgan or Rockefeller
or Pulitzer to own a paper and
present their views to the pub
lie, but contend that in the in
terest of honesty and fair dealing
the owner of the paper should be
known and the interest of the
owner frankly stated"
Continuing Mr.. Bryan says ::
cit is deliberately unfair in ig-
noring this question and charg-
ing the defeats of 1896 and 1900
to me, just as it is unfair in ig-
noring the still worse defeat OF
1904, when the World was again
the party's adviser.
/ especially appreciate the
generous support that has come
to me from the Southern States.
If the Democratic voters believe
that / can assist the party by
being a candidate why should |
refuse? And should | take the
advice of a few editors who have
been friendly rather than the adj
vice of millions of Democrats
who have been co-laborers with
me for more than a decade?'

JUST a SQUARE DEAL.

The Pendleton Tribune is much
agitated over the fact that the edi-
tor of the East Oregonian is a new
republican" II this were so, the
editor of the East Oregonian would
be proud of the fact that his first
service for the republican party in
eastern Oregon is to ask for a square
deal for the pioneer, permanent resi-
dents of the second or eastern Ore
gon congressional district.
It is not square deal to have
Frank Davey come over from Salem
and copper" the best job in Har-
ney county within year and a half;
neither is it square deal for the
pioneer residents and aspirants of
the second congressional district to
have T. T. Geer come over from Sa-
lem and claim the congressional nom
nation in a district in which he has
not lived for over a third Of CEN
tury.
II it remains for the new recruits
in the republican party to ask for
and demand a square deal for the
veteran members OF that party, the
editor of the East Oregonian Is
pleased to be reckoned with the new
recruits. A square deal is all any
man can ask, but that much is due
every man.

The other county officials were
well distributed over the county as
follows: District Attorney G. W

County Judge Giuliand, Pilot Rock,
Commissioner Walker, Helix; Com
missioner Lee, Milton; Representa-
tive Barrett. Athena; Representative
Steen. Milton; Representative Slush-
er. Nolln; Treasurer Bradley Athe-

The East Oregonian is glad to make
note of this fact and to call the
NtleUllOn OF the AdAHdNNlo anu NoNNi9 .
OF the county to the matter. Pendle-
ton is anxious to see the different
parts of the county represented. She
wants to see development, settlement,
good public improvements and good
service and she is willing to forego
all the prestige which Pendleton men
in office might give her, in order to
see the county at large we'll repre-
sented and enjoying the most rapid
development and best public conven-
fences.
In the county election this year 1t
is not believed that Pendleton will
claim a solitary county office not
now held by Penaleton man. She
wants to see Umatilla county satis-
fled and well taken care of. Her
pleasure and success depends upon

REFORM EVERYWHERE.

Not only in Pendleton, but in every
northwest city, and in fact, all over
the United States, a broadening of
religious sentiment and a more prac-
teal and utilitarian plan of preach
ing is noticed.
The East Oregonian makes a note
Of this superb progress frequently
and it is delighted to see that other
newspapers are taking note of this
growth. The Spokane Chronicle
says of the changing sentiment in
that city:
Within the last few years there has
been a great change in the policy of
many churches. The orthodox min
isters of today try to keep abreast of
the times.
They are preaching from the pull
pits on subjects of popular interest.
Questions of state, of municipal poll
tics and of civic reforms give the
basis for eloquent discourses that in
terest large congregations. 1t is like
popular songs succeeding the classics.
Take, for example, the sermons
preached in the city of Spokane last
Sunday. Many dealt with the recent
Sunday closing movement. There
were sermons dealing with the sa-
loonkeepers, the variety actresses and
the man in the street, while some
we're of the old-fashioned sort.
Whether this change is for the bet
ter is a question that is being argued.
One thing is certain, it is drawing
attention to the work of the churches
and bringing these organizations
nearer to the world. Is the church
losing in earnestness? Is it replac-
ing its best line Of work by search
for popularity?
Or is it simply entering a new era
of broad-minded enterprise and
practical work for the good Of man
kind?

THE TAX REFORM LAW.

The Tax Reform league of Port
land has sent out a large number Of
initiative petitions asking for sigma
lures on the new tax reform law
which will be submitted to the voters
this year.
The proposed Law makes a most
radical change in the manner of as
sessment and would revolutionize
values and upset the entire assess
ment system of Oregon if adopted as
a whole, at one time. 1t is a single
tax measure. pure and simple and
places all the burden Of taxation on
land. While this is a good system
and system that will be adopted
some day throughout the United
States perhaps, oregon cannot af-
ford to take the entire dose at one
time
Let US have an educational process,
a close study of taxation, a few mild
experiments along the single tax line
before adopting the entire system.
Let US assess idle land high and adopt
a graduated tax to prevent land mo-
nopoly. but let US not sweep out Of
existence all livestock and manufac-
turing values at one stroke. This
would throw an enormous burden
upon the land. all at one time, when
we must climb up to the single land
tax, step by step.
The proposed tax law changes Sec
tion /. Article TX, Of the constitution
Of Oregon to read az follows:
"The legislative assembly shall pro-
vide by law for uniform and equal
rate Of assessment and taxation; and
shall prescribe such regulations as
shall secure a just valuation of all
property. both real and personal, ex-
cepting that all dwelling houses
barns. sheds. outhouses and all otner
appurtenances thereto. all machinery
and buildings used exclusively for
manufacturing purposes, and the ap-
purtenances thereto all fences and
farm machinery and appliances used
as such, all fruit trees vines, shrub
berry and all other farm improve
ments, all livestock, all household
furniture in use, all tools used by
Workmen and in use, shall be exempt
from taxation; excepting also such
property for municipal. educational,
literary. scientific, religious, charita-
Die purposes. as may be specially ex-
empted by law

LIES BRIGHT SIDE,

There is many rest in the road of
life
II we only would stop to take 1t.
And many a tone from the better
land.
If the Querulous heart would wake
It!
To the sunny soul that is full of
hope.
And whose beautiful trust ne'er
faileth,
The grass is green and the flowers
are bright,
Though the wintry storm prevail
eth.
Better to hope, though the clouds
low,
And to keep the eyes still lifted;
For the sweet blue sky will soon peep
through
When the omlnous clouds are rift
ed
There was never a night without a
day,
Or an evening without a morning,
And the darkest hours, as the pro-
verb goes.
Is the hour before the dawning.
There is many a gem in the path of
life.
Which we pass in our idle pleas
ure,
That is richer far than the jeweled
crown,
Or the miser's boarded treasure;
It may be the love of little child,
Or a mothers prayer to Heaven;
or only a beggar's grateful thanks
For a cup of water given.
Better to weave i'm the web of life
A bright and golden filling,
And to do Gods will with a ready
heart,
And hands that are swift and will
ing.
Than to snap the delicate. slender
threads
OF our curious lives asunder.
And then blame Heaven for the tam
ged ends
And sit and grieve and wonder.

The silent spl1ndor of her eyes alight
Kisses my forehead still with

AS ever mortal longing breathed
In prayer

Where all the dewy odors drift and
steal
Upon her muslng peace and she
must feel
That for such joy her heart has

"TTIEY SAY"

A petty falsehood, started by a gos-
sip-loving tongue,
Grew into dire proportions, and upon
its blackness hung
A woman's reputation (pure, unsul-
lied as the day.
And her whole life was darkened by
the fatal words-"They say"
A man of worth, with honest work
earned both success and gold,
Then envy pointed at him with a nod
and whispered bold;
He fills a suicides lone grave, yet
doubt 1t ye who may),
His death was but the poisoned fruit
OF these two words-"They
say"
Oh, you who list to SANDERS tongue,
I charge you in Gods name.
Have carei lest at the harvest time
you reap a double shame:
And dare not, for your own souls
sake, invite the dreadful day
When Justice must hand forth to you,
the fruit of the words "They
say"
