Miss Eaan Married.

Through the New Century of Wash
ington, D. c., we learn of the marriage
of Hiss Patrice Egan, daughter OF the
Hon. Maurice Francis Egan, LII. d.,
United States minister plenipotentiary
to Denmark. and Elmer Murphy, of the
legation. The wedding took place In
Copenhagen. Miss Egan is the eldest
daughter of DR.. and Mrs. Egan, and al
ways enjoyed prominence in the best
circles of Washington society. Her ia
Their became a very close personal
friend of the president. and Miss Egan
was a frequent and welcome guest at
the White House. She accompanied
her father to Denmark and has had
the entree to the most exclusive social
circles of the Danish capital.
The marriage is the elimination of
friendship which began almost with the
childhood Of the parties. for Mr.. Muir
ply was student at Notre Dame uni
versity, where he was graduated, at the
time that Egan was professor of Eng
lish literature there. Mr.. Murphy aimed
to be a master in literature and had
also strong leanings toward journal
ism. After DR.. Egan went to the Cath
Ole university at Washington to be
professor of English literature and
while Bishop Conaty was rector of the
university. Mr.. Murphy entered as a
postgraduate student. DR.. ESan al
ways had a very warm attachment for
his pupil in whom he saw possibilities
of a successful career in literature. Aft
er Mr.. Murphy won his masters degree
by q very noteworthy thesis on ORA
matte Literature, he obtained position
as literary critic on a leading journal
of Chicago. From that position he was
invited by Bishop COnaty to take
charge of The Tidings of Los Angeles,
the official organ of the diocese of Mon
terey and Los Angeles, and he occupied
the position of editor and general man
ager from October. 1904, to February.
1906. His health was not of the best
and he resigned in order to engage in
outside work for a time. and returned
to Washington where he was soon
called again into the field of journalism
and occupied the position of correspon-
dent for a syndicate of newspapers. In
the meantime DR.. Egan was appointed
in 1907 by President Roosevelt to his
present position as minister to Denmark
and Mr.. Murphy was offered the posi-
ton of secretary of legation.
DR.: Egan has long been prominent
figure in literary circles and is a. rec
ognized authority on sonnets. He has
written a number of novels and also
several purely literary works. He has
been identified with the teaching of lit
erature in several prominent Catholic
colleges and is regarded as one of the
leaders of Catholic society. Both he
and his son-in-law are members of the
knights of Columbus.

ever is desired in that space, as long
as it is decent and not prohibited by
the United States postoffice regula-
tions. At the same time the state
ments in the advertisements have
nothing to do with the papers opinion
or policy.
Because the liquor interests have
bought and paid for space in the East
Oregonian is no evidence that they
have any claim on the editorial poll
cy of the paper. Pecause the anti
suffrage women have bought space in
the East Oregonian is no sign that
this paper has changed its belief on
the equal suffrage question. Be
cause socialists buy space in its col
umns is no sign that it is a socialist
paper and because democrats or re-
prblicans buy and pay for advertising
space is no sign that their advertise
ments will influence the editorial
opinion of the paper.
SO many people misunderstand the
management of a newspaper They
think the paid advertisements are a
part of the policy of the paper. They
think that the stuff contained in the
paid advertising matter is original
with the paper, when such is not the
case.
The East Oregonian pays out $500
every Saturday night to its employees
and in addition pays out enormous
sums during each month for paper,
repairs and other necessaries and in
order to meet these expenses and pay
its employees and keep its business go
ing it sells its advertising space and
receives pay from it.
That is what it has to sell and in
this enlightened age everybody knows
that the advertising matter is not a
part of any papers individual opinion
or policy.

The growth Of the country is no
more plainly shown than in the in
crease Of the appropriations for pos
tai extension and postoffice improve
ments, The present session of con-
gress has appropriated over $1,000
eco, 900 or 500, 900, 900 more than the
preceding congress, A large part of
this increased expenditure is devoted
to postoffice service and improve
ment and goes directly into the rural
communities. towns and cities of the
country where the people get specific
results. This shows the internal
growth, the development Of the home
needs of the country, the evolution
OF modern conveniences. The people
cannot complain at appropriations for
this service. The people are the di-
rect benefciaries.

Nay, dear, not blind am I, but verify
Aflame with the true vision. What

Is the dark thunder cloud that
terrifies
The hearts of children, when the
open skies
The other side are lighted glorlously ?
Today a friend betrayed me, o re-
fined
Last gift of painl You know the
words she said,
You cannot know the mystery behind,
You do not see her poor soul, pas

Blindfolded by the dark veil Of her
mind
That weeps and never may be COM

THE o. II, & y. CAMPAIGN.

In pursuance of its highly commen-
dable policy of advocating better
farming methods in the inland en-
pire, the o. R. & y. company has
announced that it will conduct a 10
years campaign for increased yields,
diversified farming and rotation of
crops in this section.
This means a campaign of educa-
ton, publicity, demonstration and ac-
tual results. 1t means that the pro-
gressive officials Of this company are
simply going to force prosperity on
the farming sections of eastern Ore
gon and Washington.
The o. R. & n company is right
in its assumption that eastern Ore
gon counties should produce double
the amount Of traffic and consequent
ly double the amount of profits which
they now produce. The company is
right in saying that dozens of profit
able crops will grow as we'll as wheat
on the rich lands of Union, Baker,
Umatilla and Morrow counties and
the company seems determined to
prove the assertion by actual demon
stration.
The East Oregonian is delighted TO
see the railroad company engage in
this work. It means millions Of dol
lars in increased profits for the farm
ers and stockmen Of this section. 1t
means thousands Of tons Of new traf-
fic originating in this territory and it
means labor for idle men, investment
for idle capital, work for idle streams
ard idle power now running to waste
and general prosperity for everybody
in the inland empire.
II this diversified farming plan is
carried out it means that eastern Or
egon will be the feeding ground Of
the northwest and will furnish meats,
fruit, vegetables and other food stuffs
for the entire Pacific coast, Alaska
and the orient
This is the greatest industrial and
economic undertaking ever planned in
the northwest and will be watched
with interest by those who have the
welfare Of the country truly at heart.

city has been laid out near Charles

it is expected that within year it
will contain a population Of several
thousand.
No white person will be permitted
to reside within the limits or to own
property therein. In the midst OF
this little Africa is situated the state
colored high school.
Educational facilities will be am
pie and there will be electric lights,
sewers and a park. The city Will be
governed of course, by the negro In

watch with interest the experiment as
testing the capacity Of the negro for
self-government. - Augusta, Ga.

LAST WEEK OF CAMPAIGN.

The last week of the campaign is
nuw here and everything looks favor
able for the republican party in Ore
Gtn. The signal will be sent out on
June /, that oregon is still in the list
of republican states, that she has con-
fidence in the integrity of republican
principles and is satisfied with the
past history and achievement and fu-
ture promise Of the party.
The outlook for the election Of H.
NJ. Cake to the senate is especially
bright, despite the vigorous campaign
of Governor Chamberlain and his ad-
miring friends.
The issues in the senatorial cam
paign are national and not local. A
senator helps make the policy of the
rarty a governor does not. A sena-
tor is called upon to sustain and ad-
vance the principles Of his party every
day while a governor does not have
that opportunity once year, except
in appointments which are the least
and most insignificant of party
achievements.
Governor Chamberlain stepped in
to the arena Of Oregon politics at an
opportune time, and being an oppor-
tunist and a smooth campaigner, he
was carried to victory on the popular
wave. But now times have changed.
This is a national election. A senator
is called upon to sustain the sacred
principles OF his party and help make
party policies and as a democrat Geo.
z. Chamberlain will not be sent to the
senate by the republican state Of Or
egon.
H. NJ. Cake, the regular republican
nominee for the senate, has made a
clean, honest fight. He has received
the vote Of his party at the primaries
and is entitled to the office by every
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-05-25

means. His party cannot afford to
vote against him. He Is the party
choice and il the republicans and Or
ganizatlon of the party amount to
anything every republican should vote
for Mr.. Cake
If oregon is to change into the dem
ocratic ranks, If republicans care
nothing more for the principles and
history of the party, why of course
,Ley will vote for democrat for the
senate. A dozen active democrats in
the senate can maneuver to block any
legislation while they could secure
nothing.

WHAT A PAPER HAS TO SELL.

A newspaper sells its space to busi-
ness interests for a profit, just as a
farmer sells his wheat crop. mer-
chant his goods, a minister his serv-
Ices or a butcher his meats. Advertis-
ing space is papers took in trade.
That is the source Of its income.
II paper did not sell its advertis-
ing space it could not get out an issue
and pay expenses, and at the same
time what people say in their adver-
tisements, which they have paid for, Ia
not any part Of the editorial policy Of
the paper.
Any man or business firm or soci-
.ety or organization may buy adver'
,tlsing space in a paper and say what

HERNIISTON.

So much has been said and written
about Hermiston, so many stories of
the government irrigation project have
been sent out and so many pictures
have been printed that people are now
really anxious to see Hermiston and
the government irrigation project near
there.
On wednesday, May 81, when water
will be turned from the big reservoir
for the first time, the people of this
county will have an opportunity to see
Hermiston and the project at their
best. The little town which has
sprung up in the desert within three
years, is now thriving and prosper
Gus and has every appearance of a
miniature city.
Crops are growing on many por-
tions of the project and water is run
ming everywhere through the canals
and laterals The big dam, the larg-
est and costliest in the state, is now
about complete and its mechanism is
wonderful to behold. Over $1,000
900 has been expended there and it is
a perfect irrigation system, offering
homes for thousands when once it is
placed under actual irrigation.
The property values in that section
OF the county will increase 1O-fold in
the next few years and the East Ore
,sonian feels sale in predicting that
within an incredibly short time the
name Of Hermlston will be heralded
far and wide as the garden spot. vine
yard and orchard of the northwest.
Join the excursion next Wednesday
and see Hermiston and the govern
ment irrigation project.
