East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-04-20

r. w. Deal, one Of the oldest pio-
neers Of Union county and for 40
years a prominent horseman Of the
inland empire, is on trial in the cir
cult court in this city today for the
theft of a horse, the case having
come here on a change Of venue from
Union county.
About 20 witnesses, many of them
among the most prominent pioneers
of Grande Ronde valley, are attending
the trial and it is of more than usual
importance owing to the prominence
of the accused. Deal is a white hair
ed man of perhaps so years of age
is on trial for the second offence in
the past few years in Union county.
In this case he is accused of hav-
ing stolen a horse from E. L. HALEY,
a young farmer residing near Island
City. 1t is alleged that Deal took the
horse from the range near La Grande,
shipped it with others to Portland
and drove 1t from there to Salem,
where he sold it.
District Attorney F. S. Ivanhoe Of
the Union-Wallowa county district, Is
prosecuting the case, while j. D.
Slater of La Grande, a brother of At
torney R. ]. Slater of this city, is de-
Tending Mr.. Deal. The case was
called by Judge Bean at o'clock
this morning and the forenoon was
spent in securing jury.
Among those who are here from
Union county as witnesses are the
following we'll known citizens D. A.
and ]. w, McAllister, George Chill
ders, Sheriff Frank Childers, D. D.
Grandy, Dexter Eaton, Charles Teal,
Fred D. Gaskell, E. L. HALEY and
several others.
This is the second offence of this
kind for Mr.. Deal in the past few
years. In 1902 he was sentenced to
the penitentiary from Union county
for the theft of a horse, but owing to
his advanced age and good behavior
while in prison he was pardoned
within a few months after going to
Salem.

Public Opinion Throughout the Union

has denounced as insidious enemies Of
the republic, as conspirators against
the common welfare, as wretched
mammon seekers who, in defiance Of
the laws Of both God and man, prey
upon the public.
Is the stock exchange objection
able? Is it the greatest gambling
house in the world? Bless you, no,
said Mr. Bryan last night. ''We are
not even opposed to the exchange or
to the Market he said-only to it's
abuses. These abuses, he continued,
could be remedied without doing in
jury to any legitimate association.
The raw-meat followers Of Bryan,
those who cheered him as he shouted
"Smash 'em!" may we'll ask if this is
Bryan that is talking or Grover
Cleveland.
Yesterday at his hotel Mr.. Bryan
effusively welcomed Patrick Fl. Nc
Carren, and was delighted when that
distinguished enemy of the sugar trust
and the Standard Oil Company said
that he hoped to carry Brooklyn for
him. Tomorrow Mr.. Bryan will di

order to get them to vote the Demo
cratic ticket this fall. The negroes
have been given to understand that
they shall have office and shall be
given recognition if they will only
vote for Bryan. It would seem that
the northern negroes would see that
they are only being used as cats
paw to pull the chestnuts out of the
fire for Mr.. Bryan and his camp fol-
lowers The surprising part Of 1t IS
that the Southern Democrats who
have always cursed the negro are now
in the north cheek by jowl with the
negro, telling him they are his friends
and insisting that he vote the Demo
cratic ticket this fall.-The Caucasian

sons meetings, and the democratic
press Of the state, formerly very hos
tile to Mr.. Watson, are not fighting
him, and some Of them are predicting
that he will carry the state. DR.. De-
Barr, who is home from trip through
the Carolinas and Tennessee, says
that he was surprised to find so
many men in those states predicting
that Mr.. Watson would carry Geor-
gia.
1t does not surprise us, for the At
lanta Constitution some time ago pre-
dicted that Mr.. Watson would poll
this year the biggest vote ever polled
by the Peoples Party. Mr.. Watson s
biggest vote will be in the southern
states,-The Peoples Voice, Norwood,

DEMOCRATS STILL PLAYING FOR

The Associated Press sent ont the
following dispatch from New York
Sunday night:
"Henry Watterson, of Kentucky,

National headquarters in This city an
advance copy Of an address vhl:h is

The dispatch further states that
the address attacks President Roose-

SAFETY ON RAILROADS.

The monetary interest is sending
out cards claiming that they are not
making money enough to justify
putting roads in condition for
safety.
We have a proposition that we
think will settle that trouble. 1t is
to make the management at the top
responsible for every one killed by
the roads unless they can prove it
was not caused by their neglect to
have proper and sufficient road and
equipment.
Then they can have their option to
turn the roads over to the people
(that means the government or pay
the penalty. In the same mail that
came our card about safety and more
money came the announcement of the
death Of a railroad man who had
accumulated six million dollars.
While the managers and manipu-
lators are becoming millionaries is
poor time to claim they cannot keep
the roads up to the safety mark. But
the simple truth is that no people
ought to allow their roads to be
owned by private persons any more
than the air or water.-Looking Glass,
Monroe, Platte Co. (Neb.).

We picked up the Commoner, and
an advertisement from an Oklahoma
bank, asking the readers Of the Com
moner to deposit their money in their
institutions, when the "deposits with
lis are as safe as United States bonds,
and you can draw your money on de-
mand. F." They offer 4 per cent on all
deposits. Now, what do you think of
that?> Do you really, down deep in
your heart, think that banking is on
a safe basis, where they can offer 4
per cent on call deposits? We don't.

bars to speculation Of all kinds. It's
one of those "get rich quick"

bound to accrue through the reckless
handling of the people s money by
bankers who are INSCRIPTIONS. And

GLORY OF THE PoPULIsT.

The triumph Of the Populist planks
draws near. At this hour it is merely
question between the people and the
stand-patters; between the yeomen
and the marauders as to which shall
hold the point of vantage.
The Populist doctrine has been ac-
cepted. Shall we now put the truth
discovered into practice, is the point
of issue. It is for this that the Popu-
lists remain organized. It is for this
they are closing up the lines, and this
is the explanation for larger Pop
ulist vote and the greater general in
terest in the welfare Of the Populists
and their cause.
The principles have won. Every
plank is now ingrafted into the plat
forms Of three political parties, and in
some instances into six. What better
evidence is there that the Populist
principles are desirable-that they are
true and lasting? Any man popular
with the people in any party is popu-
lar because he advocates the Popu-
list principles and popular only be-
cause of this-not for intellect,
brilliancy or eloquence, but for his
steadfastness in Populism and for
Populism alone. The greater his Pop
ulism the greater his popularity The
people believe as we believe and it is
now a rush Of all parties to perform
some one or more great Populist per-
Torrance that should be done
Of all these parties the Peoples
Party is the only party that leaves
nothing out. While other parties take
one principle of the platform and
another party takes another princi-
pie, the Populists take all-leave
nothing out and persist in pushing all
measures for the public benefit
The Populist speeches made this
year go further and accomplish more
for the money expended by many
fold over any other efforts made by
the campaign orators. The Populist
party this year will accomplish the
greatest results. The vote will be in
creased over 1904 They will elect
legislators and congressman and Sc
cure electoral votes this time for their
candidates.
We predict that the Populists will
go down in history in the catalogue
of those who have been of the great
est service to the nation. They will
have more honor than the Abolition
lists who destroyed black slavery. They
have been the noblest men Of our
time. No others in church or other
wise have been more devoted to the
common man and the common wealth.
Only within the past year have they
been understood. Every day they are
better understood. Every day gives
them greater esteem.-Daily News,
Joliet, Ill

FOR ASSEMBLYMAN.

While not disposed to champion
the cause of any one aspirant as
against another for any one of the
county offices, this idea will not be
observed in Assembly District
affairs. We therefore take pleasure
in presenting to the Republican
voters of the Journals constituency,
John F. Shaw of the Ellsworth
Record, as a man in every way
worthy to receive your support for
the Republican nomination for Mem
Der of Assembly in this Assembly
District and one who is abundantly
qualified to efficiently discharge the
duties devolving upon member of
the popular branch of our State
Legislature.
Mr.. Shaw grew to manhood in
Pierce county, and has ever labored
zealously in the public interest, first
as an efficient teacher in the public
schools, then as County Superin-
tendent of Schools, and finally as
the successful publisher of the Els
worth Record, a local newspaper
which reflects credit upon its man
agement as we'll as upon the COM
munity that supports it. Having
been reared on farm he can view
subjects for legislation from the
standpoint of the farmer as we'll as
from that of the business man.
Actuated by strict integrity of
purpose, conscientious in the per-
Torrance of duty, and fitted for
passing intelligently upon matters
of legislation, Mr.. Shaw possesses
a combination of attributes that
make his services in the Assembly
desirable, and we believe that the
people of this Assembly District
will best serve their own interests
by choosing him as their next repre-
sentative in the lower house of the
State Legislature.

The United States Senator
ship.

There are now before the people
of Wisconsin four avowed candi-
dates for the Republican nomination
for the office of United States Sen
ator for the full term of six years
commencing March 4, 1909. These
are-Francis E. McGovern of Mil
waukee, William H. Hatton of New
London, Isaac Stephenson of Mari
nette and Samuel A. Cook of Nee
nah.
While not questioning the ability
or worthiness of any one of the
other three, we unhesitatingly COM
mend to the Republican voters of
the Journals constituency, Hon.
Samuel A. Cook as the man who in
our judgment should be rendered
the nomination. His legislative ex-
perience in the House of Represent
atives has given him comprehen-
sive idea of National Legislative
work which will serve him well as a
Senator, his efficiency is unques-
toned, his integrity unimpeachable,
and his personal character beyond
reproach. He is a gentleman OF
commanding presence and pleasing
address as becomes the occupant of
distinguished position.
When marking your ballot, do
not overlook the name of Samuel A.
Cook.

One serious objection that our
Democratic friends have to the Re-

is the result of a wise purpose not
only to preserve party harmony, but
to carry the pivotal State of New
York. The ticket was not designed
to meet the approval of the Demo
cratic campaign managers.
