OREGON, POOR OREGON!

Since Edward Hartman now
classes himself as an Oregonian the
Portland papers seem to consider
themselves justified in talking plain
ly to him. In a pointed editorial last
evening one of them said:

dining car becomes a delusion and a
snare to ultimately degenerate into a
buffet.
What nobody seems able to under
stand is why this slight should be put
upon Oregon, which so literally pat
ronizes the Hartman system AMI
pours so many millions into the cof-
fers. Why should wet blanket be
thus thrown over visitors coming
here, many perhaps intending to set

good impression with this slight put

\ LESSON FROM THE DEAD.

one Of the strongest virtues ac-
credited to ex-President Cleveland
was a courageous independence Of
mmd-a trait that enabled him to
follow consistently in a course he
considered right even though it
meant deep censure for him at the
time. since his death the eX-presi-
dent has been spoken Of as a man
who believed that a ship should be
stcered according to chart and COM
pass and not by the scenery.
Whatever may be thought o.
Cleveland this is a rule that could be
followed with wisdom by lesser men
than presidents. In democracy
where the people are supreme there
are too many men who seek to sail
with popular breezes rather than in
accordance with any fixed principles
of their own. There are people, both
men and women and of all classes,
who give careful attention to their
reputations-what others think Of
them-but seldom give a thought to
the really important subject Of char
acter.
Though a Difference to public opin-
ion is but right and to be expected,
vet the man who shapes his course
with the sole aim of pleasing the pop,
ular fancy is liable to meet with ship
wreck. Public sentiment is some
thing that is often hard to fathom,
and besides it is subject to change.
\ better and a safer guide may be
found in a mans own judgment and
conscience Every man, whether his
station be high or low, is possessed
OF an instinct which points like
compass needle to the north star of
Righteousness. It is a good thing to
follow. whether one be a prominent
public man or a humble voter; a
merchant prince or a laborer; scholar
or student; society matron or school
girl.

THE SPIRIT OF THE FAIR.

When the district fair commits
sioners started upon the work of ar
ranging for the fair that will open
next Monday. they said:
we will make this fair the best
that we have ever had. If some peo-
pie leave town because of prohibi-
tion that is only an additional reason
for making the fair better"
This is the spirit in which the ar
rangements for the fair have been
made. Though Pendleton itself
voted against prohibition her busl-
ness men are not grouchy because
the movement carried. Instead, they
accepted the verdict of the county
with good grace and at once set to
work to adapt themselves to the
changed conditions
In preparing for the fair this fall
the commissioners made their plans
on broader and better lines than in
the past. The pavilion has been
greatly enlarged and beautified. More
exhibits are being secured and the
best possible program has been ar
ranged. If the fair does not make a
hit this year it will not be because
the management has left anything
undone.
In view of the excellent spirit
SHOWN by the commissioners the dis
tr'ct fair is entitled to the hearty |
support Of the people of Umatilla and |
Morrow counties. The East Oregon
ian hopes that next week the fair
pavilion will be crowded as it has
never been before. It believes it will /

HIS TRIBE.

at Milwaukee, spied a small enameled
pin lying on the floor He picked it
up, looked it over in cereless way,
and pinned it on the lapel of his coat
The same tramp. few months later,
was hit and knocked into unconscious
ness by a switch engine in the freight
yards, just outside the depot. The
trainmen picked him up and telephon-

bulance.
What did you say his name was?"
came over the telephone from the
desk sergeant.
Don't know. The man is uncon-
scious," replied the switchman.
, ANY papers on him by which you
can identify him.? asked the sergeant.
"Not a thing" 'phoned back the
switchman.
Does he belong to any lodge or
union?" inquired the sergeant.

replied the swltchman, and in mo-
ment the desk sergeant was greatly
surprised to receive this information:
Yes; he is a Lady Maccabee. -.

\ PROGRESSIVE STEP.

If the statements of eminent ply
sicians and bacteriologisrs are cor
rect. then the Pendleton city author
tiles are right in taking up the sub
ject Of protecting the city's milk sup
ply.
In an able article before the East
ern Oregon Medical society at its re-
cent meeting. DR.. Ralph c. Matson,
bacteriologist of the state board Of
health. made the following state
ment:
There can be no doubt that in a
certain number Of cases the tubercu-
losis occurring in the human subject
especially Of children, is the result
Of the introduction into the human
body Of the bacillus Of bovine tu-
berculosis; and there also can be no
doubt that in the majority, at least,
Of these cases, the bacillus is intro
duced through cows milk containing
bovine tubercle bacilli, is clearly a
cause Of tuberculosis and Of fatal tu-
berculosis in man.
"Of so cases Of human cuberculo-
Sin Investigated, II were pure bovine.
II instead Of taking all these 60 cases
they confined themselves to cases Of
tuberculosis in which the bacilli were
apparently introduced by way Of all
mentary canal, the proportion be-
comes very much larger, being 28.
OF nine cases Of tuberculosis Of the
cervical glands that were studied,
three were bovine These facts indi-
cate very large proportion Of tu-
berculosis is due to bacilli Of bovine

fort should be made 10 lessen the

EARNINGS IN FRANCE.

Consul c. p. II. Mason, of Grenoble,
submits some statistics concerning the
earnings and incomes of certain
classes of the French people in Paris
as recently published by NJ. Andre
Lefever the president of the Paris
municipal council. The consul writes:
The annual income of the average
Paris household is placed at about
$3.50. In the fashionable quarter of
the Champs Elysees, the annual aver
age household revenue is said to be
about $4,000: in the near by Farbourg
saint Honore. $1,000: while in the Ma
define district it falls to $35O0
As to the incomes of certain pro-
fessional men in France, 1t was ascer-
tained that out of the 1000 advocates
practicing at the Paris bar only about
200 earn over $1,000 a year and only
about so receive above 10000.
The number of physicians practicing
in Paris is placed at $25OO, but only
about one-half Q2O0) of these make
more than $500 a year. Dentists do
somewhat better; a fashionable one
can easily earn $4,000. while in some
cases this figure is greatly exceeded.
In French families of the humber
class the living expenses in many in
stances are met only by the wife con-
tributing to the common fund out Of
her marriage portion. Oftentimes

is used in part to establish the hus-

We should love each other better,
