VEHEMENTLY DENIES TOPICS
UNDER DEBATE ARE TRIVIAL

PASADENA, Dec. 14.-[Editor Her
aldl: w. Scott Lewis complains that
the Letter Box discusses trivial topics
and ignores vital ones. He instances
the fact that thousands of men are
facing the winter penniless, and con-
siders your correspondents regard this
as unimportant.
The Letter Box should, for it's own
good, always be submitted to the sharp
est criticisms, but in this instance the
criticism appears to me not we'll taken,
for your correspondents have been dis.
cussing the remedy for the very condi-
tions Mr.. Lewis cites.
Poverty exists solely because of one
thing: the fact that people do not
know how to get out of it. Whines ars
waste of breath 1t is the way out that
is wanted.
Two ways are uggested--addition of
laws and abolition of laws. Until the
people can be brought to make up their
minds as to which of these is correct
no escape is possible.
To me it is clear that abolition of
laws is the plan, and L believe this has
the support of all the best writer's,
But others do not think so, and which
Is right must be determined before any
thing can be done.
Either you must abolish or minimize
laws which in the form of tariff, land
monopoly, etc, appear to be answer
able for, or you must multiply laws in
the endeavor to ameliorate the present
position, giving the government in
creased power to help those whom
monopoly has rendered incapable OF
helping themselves.
! myself think this last an idiotiC
idea, but it is unquestionably the one
in fashion. Which does not mean that
1t is right.
Unhinching discussion of these two
positions seems to me worth all the
hoWls that ever were uttered, for until
full understanding is reached re-
specting them no phase of the social
question can be settled.

GEORGE JUNIORS
NEED MORE LAND
CRAMPED FOR ROOM AT SAN
FERNANDO
TWO HUNDRED ACRES WANTED
FOR GARDENS
Commissioners Would Rather Have a
Number of Small Buildings fer
Young Republic Than
Large House

Removal Of the George Junior Re-
public from its present location near
San Fernando to some more favorable
spot is being seriously considered by
members of the commission of the
Republic. President w. S. McCay and
Vice President d. e. Luther of the
commission are spending considerable
time looking at new locations. The
present place has many advantages,
the house being large and roomy and
the people in the neighborhood of San
Fernando extending every help, but
more land is needed.
I'VE have been shown every cour-
tesy by the people of San Fernando,
said Miss Evelyn Stoddard, secretary
of the commission, last night. But
we need at least 200 acres of land for
farming purposes. We only have two
We would like to get some location on
the trolley line if the price of land
would not be prohibitiVe.
Then we feel that the members of
the Republic would do better If housed
in numerous small buildings rather
than one large house. The present
home of the Republic is in a large
building of seventy-five rooms.
To Raise Truck
I'VE want enough land so that the
boys can carry on extensive truck
gardening. At present they have a
small garden, raise some chickens and
take care of several cows and horses.
There Is also a furniture shop where
many of the members find employ
ment. All the laundry work OF the
place is done at home by the citizens.
Part of them also do housework.'
The George Junior Republic started
by Daddy George to be run along the
lines OF his original New York institu-
ton is represented here by a very
strong commission, composed OF some
of the leading citizens of California.
w. S. McCay of Pasadena is the presi
dent, D. L. Luther and Judge klam-
roth, the former of Los Angeles and
tho latter of Pasadena, are the vice
presidents. Miss Evelyn Stoddard of
Los Angeles is the secretary and John
T. Burke of Los Angeles is the treas
urer. The other members of the COM
mission are Louis f. Cole, DR.. H. w.
Brodbeck, Mrs. Margaret Fowler and
her daughter of Pasadena, Mrs 7. w.
Heineman and Miss Bessie Stoddard.
In addition to the above Judge Curtis
D. Wilbur, n. II. Newmark and Leon
ard Merrill have constituted a strong
advisory committee and have rendered
invaluable assistance
The next meeting of the commission
will be held December 29. when the
matter of change of location will be
taken up the report of the committee
investigating new sites will be heard
and some definite action will probably
be taken with reference to the pro-
posed change of location.

FLAMES RAGE UNCHECKED
IN CANADIAN COAL DOCKS
Railroad Company EndeaVors Vanly
to Extineuish BIaze-Thousands
of Tons of Fuel Are
Consumed

FORT WILLIAM, Ont, Dec. 1S.-The
most destructive coal fire that ever
visited the head of the lakes, has been
in progress for several weeks at the
Canadian Pacific coal docks.
To combat the conf1agration and save
tens of thousands of tons of coal that
is threatened, the railroad company is
resorting to every known means OF
extinguishing the blaze.
The fight so far has been without
result. Hundreds of tons have already
been reduced to ashes.
Famed by gusts of wind. clouds ol
smoke and flame burst forth at night,
giving the appearance of miniature
volcano.
In an extreme effort to extinguish
the blaze the company is preparing to
put a steam shovel in operation.
It will be weeks, however, before the
seat of the blaze is reached If this
method is successful.

THE RAILROAD THREAT.

Intensely significant 70 the Ameri-
can public Is that notice served by
the railroad companies that all the big
transcontinental systems will aban-
don the export business after No
vember l, 1908.
This is a part Of the railroad plan
to thwart the interstate commerce
commission and humlllate the Ameri-
can people.
It is to thwart the interstate COM
merce commission because the sys-
TENS say they will abandon the ex-
port business rather than make pub
lie their overland rates to foreign
ports as required by the commission.
And It is to humlliate the American
public which is strongly demanding
railroad regulation. because II Is
highly probable that all the steam
ship lines Of the railroad systems will
be sold to Japanese companies, there,
by making the little brown rival OF
the United States, the commercial
master Of the Pacific ocean.

road companies is a two-edged sword,
one edge defylng the regulating pow
er Of the government, the other de-
livering the Pacific coast carrying
trade into the hands of the enemy!
And it all resolves itself into this
conclusion, to-wit: The quicker the
United States government becomes
the owner and operator of its entire
railroad industry, the better it will be
for the people.
As long as there is private owner

petual clash over the question Of
government regulation. As long as
there is private ownership there win

r.valries and injustice.
Government ownership will do away

system, like the postoffice system, the
absolute servant Of the people.

great problem and settle 1t on its

THE SPIRIT OF CITIES.

Pendleton. compared to other east
ern oregon cities, is a matchless ex-
ample Of human activity and industry.
While older and more favored
cities and towns, not a thousand miles
distant, have simply died Of senile de-
cay and dry rot, Pendleton's splendid
type Of business men has kept the
warm life blood flowing constantly
through every vein and artery Of the
city and community.
1t is possible for one or two nom
progressive men to crush the COM
mercial and Industrial life out Of an
entire community by their selfish and
tyrannical methods Of business. and
while It is a shame to send such men
20 worry the devil, it is much better
for a community that they pass away
quickly and peaceably. There is no
place on top Of the earth for such
men.
But fortunately, when the census Of
Pendleton is taken, there is not one
man to spare-not one who does not
fill place and perform valuable
labor for the city. The spirit Of the
city Is superb. The business atmos-
phere is clean and pure. The CO.
operation and unity Of the various
diversified interests. are perfect.
To this excellent spirit Pendleton
owes her place at the head Of the list,
and her grasp on this high place
among the cities Of the inland en-
pire viii be strengthened by this
spirit
It is charged against several dead"
towns Of eastern oregon that one or
two or half a dozen selfish men are
wholly responsible for the low ebb Of
the industrial Ufe Of these towns.
Their rule or ruin" policy has assas-
sinated the public spirit and left all
It's veins empty Of the rich. red blood
Of municipal pride and activity.
Not so with Pendleton. Every
Pendletonian is needed at his post.
Every one is bending to the oar. That
IS the secret Of Pendleton's fame and
wealth and popularity!

TUBERCULOSIS 4 MENACE TO
THE DAIRY.

A clipping in this issue from a
Pendleton paper says that pure milk
is the recently adopted slogan OF that
town. II is a very appropriate slo-
gan and one that Is being adopted by
several towns and cities in the north
west and that bids fair to be general
ly taken up in the near future, says
the Rural Spirit. Milk consumers
and those familiar with dairy condi-
tions in the average dairies around
our towns and cities as well as
throughout the country must admit
that there IS room for much improve
ment.
An awakening populace demands
more attention to sanitation in handl-
ing the dairy and It's products to the
end that the health Of the public may
be more carefully safeguarded.
The difficulty with that as with all
such reform movements is that an
aroused public is apt to go from one
extreme to the other, II people get
the idea into their heads that bovine
tuberculosis is readily transmissible
from the COW to the human through
the medium Of the cows milk and
that the only remedy is the total ex-
termination OF every COW that reacts
to the tuberculosis test, much trouble
and unnecessary loss to the industry
