A WORD FOR THE WORKERS.

The present postoffice regulations
by which the postoffices are opened
at s o'clock in the morning and clos
ed at in the evening, work
hardship on laboring men who get
their mail at the general delivery and
the government should change the
hours to accommodate these people.
The laborer must go to work In
the morning before the office opens
and he cannot reach the office in the
evening before 1t closes and so is de-
MED one Of the commonest privileges
and enjoyments given to American
citizens.
1t seems that two shifts should be
worked at postoffices. The govern
ment aims to accommodate the peo-
pie. The postiffice is not private
business and It's regulations should
not prevent one humble citizen his
fullest rights and privileges.
The government is paying out an
enormous sum annually for the sup
port Of the postoffices of the country,
and 1t seems that every effort should
be made to secure the better results
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-05-30

Everybody will be glad when 1t Is
Over
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-05-30
WILL UMATILLA GO DRY"

Both sides of the liquor question
have been thoroughly threshed out in
Umatilla county during the past
month. Every phase of the issue has
been brought out and every merit and
demerit has been given great public
ity.
To many it would seem an impossi-
tility that Umatilla county a county
which has had saloons since it was
first organized, should go dry" but
to those who have observed the ten
dency closely, it seems quite probable
that the county will be as dry as a
bone after election.
The East Oregonian has given the
matter some thought and investiga-
ton and during the past week has
been in touch with conservative men
in every part of the county, and from
the observations made, it is safe to
predict that the county will be car
ried by the prohibitionists by a ma
jority of from 25O to 400. This is
only guess, but 1t is made after con-
siderable personal investigation.
OF course, men do not always vote
as they say they will. but the prohi-
bition sentiment is wide spread, de-
termined and pronounced and is not
confined to the regular temperance
agitators. It is most noticeable among
the substantial class of farmers and
stockmen who are usually either nom
ccmmittal or against any interference
with the alleged personal liberty of
drinkers.
1t is almost certain that Pilot Rock
precinct will go dry. Birch creek
farmers are for prohibition almost to
man. Hermiston and a large part
of the Echo precinct will be for pro-
hibition although that precinct may
not carry as a whole. Helix will be
dry by large majority, 1t is predict
ed, and Adams is now conceded to be
prohibitionist by saloonmen, them
selves.
Athena and Weston are strongly
arrayed against the liquor business
and every country precinct in the
county Is agitated on the question.
Pendleton is the stronghold of the
saloon in the county and every effort
is being made in this city to save the
county, but 1t is freely predicted by
conservative men that the outside
precincts will overYhelm Pendleton's
wet vote.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-05-30
THE REASON WHY.

The sentiment in favor of local
option law in this state Is not due so
much to the fact that the people have
1t in for whiskey as TO the fact that
the retail liquor business has not been
conducted with proper regard for the
law.
The public is long suffering and
slow to act. 1t witnesses and permits
violation of some Of the laws without
protest, and many people assume that
1t isn't in favor of law enforcement.
That almost always proves to be
mistake. The indulgent public Is
never satisfied with disregard OF the
law In the west things are allowed
to go wide open" because it's too
much trouble to close them; but In
due course Of time the trouble will be
taken, and probably few extra licks
will be struck in order to get even.
In all probability had the laws Of
the state always been obeyed to the
letter by saloon men there would not
now be any demand for local option
law.-Yakima Republic.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-05-30

The law making power delegated to
the people of Oregon through the ini-
tiative and referendum amendment to
the constitution is not new and the
people have made no mistakes through
its use as yet, and the East Oregonian
is willing to trust the people at all
times. They will vote right and do
right. So whatever the result Of the
election next Monday. this paper will
be satisfied. The result will be an
expression of the will of the people
and the people are the genuine law
making power of the state.
If you have any doubt as to the
merit of bill, be on the safe side
and vote mo" Better err on the
side Of safety Better kill a good law
than enact a bad one, every time.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-05-30

In the selfish warefare between the
rival fishermen Of the upper and low
el Columbia river, in which both fac
tons are seeking to control the sal
mon industry of the state, voters are
urged to vote mo" on No. S19 and
SSS.
On the law proposed by the liquor
interests by which they may secure
control of city governments and set
aside the criminal laws of the state,
taxpayers are urged to vote mo"
This law is a most vicious attempt to
wrest city governments from the pro-
lection OF the state laws and voters
are urgently requested to vote mo"
en- No. S21.
Keep your hands off the question of
the division of wasco county and the
creation of Hood River county. Let
each county settle its own difficult
ties and local issues and vote mo" on
No. sS7.

LAWS TO VOTE FOR.

The East Oregonian is pleased to
see the bar association of Umatilla
county go on record in favor of two
meritorious measures which are to be
voted upon by the people next Mon
day, to-wit: the bill adding two MEM
bers to the supreme court and revising
the county court system of the state,
and the bill appropriating money for
the support and enlargement of the
University of Oregon.
These two measures are especially
meritorious and should be passed by
a large vote, but there are many
other important measures on the Of
ficial ballot and the voters are urged
to use every care in exercising their
legislative power.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-05-30

There are 10 measures on the bal
lot and many voters will not go half
way down the list Many Of the pro-
posed laws will receive but few votes,
simply because the voters are not in
terested and do not understand the
merits Of the laws.
Beginning at the head Of the list
of laws on the ballot, voters are urg-
ed to vote yes" for the following:
Permitting state institutions to be
located away from the state capital,
vote "yes" No. SO2.
For equal suffrage, No. 316, "yes."
For the enactment Of statement No.
/, No. 326, yes"
To add two supreme judges, and re-
wise county and probate court system,
No SO4, yes"
To change date Of state elections to
correspond with presidential elec-
tions, No. 3O6, "yes."
In support Of the national guard
and for the erection of armories
throughout the state, No. 312, "yes."
To appropriate money for University
of Oregon. No. 314, "yes."
To limit and make public all cleo
ton expenses Of candidates, No. 800,
yes"
Restricting the power Of indict-
ments to grand jurles and taking that
power from district attorneys, No.
334, yes"
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-05-30

H. NJ. Cake will carry Umatilla
county and he will be elected senator
Of Oregon by a handsome majority.
Oregon is a republican state and is
not going to switch" into the demo-
cratic rank now. Mr.. Cake is entitled
to every republican vote in the state
ard Governor Chamberlain is entitled
to every democratic vote and that Is
what the result will be, it is hoped.

There are a number Of laws which
should receive the disapproval Of the
voters and especially the taxpayers Of
the state and to these laws the East
Oregonian also desires to call special
attention.

and should be voted down:

NEW SYSTEM
IS EFFECTIVE
The Mississippi Supervisors
Adopt Novel Scheme to
Collect Taxes.
Special to The Journal.

Hattiesburg, Miss, Aug. 14.-An
amusing story comes from New Au-
gusta, where the Perry county board
of supervisors has just concluded a
nine days session canvassing the
tax roll prepared by the assessor A
feature OF the meeting which will go
down into history as one OF the most
original and effective TuSes ever work
ed in any law making body was the
announcement early in the session
that a dozen mineral rods had been
purchased and that these would be
turned over to the deputy sherins to
be used in locating hard cash which
mad not been given in to the assessor.
or course, the mineral rod" is fake.
1t Is claimed by the makers, however,
that when properly balanced it will
invariably point the way to buried
treasure. Years ago. it is said that
James Copeland, a notorious highway
man, buried thousands of dollars near
New Augusta, and it was first Tu-
mored that the mineral rod" would
be used to locate this treasure. But
the farmers who had gold and silver
buried in the backyards or hid away
In their houses decided that if the
mineral rod would locate the Cope
land thousands it would also point the
way to their private horde, and afore
said farmers Immediately proceeded
to deposit their savings in the neigh
boring banks, where it was later dis
covered by the assessor. In this way
1t Is estimated that many thousands
of dollars have been added TO the tax
able wealth of Perry county, and il
is probable that boards of supervisors
in other counties will be qUfck to
realize the effectiveness of the plan.

FREE IF OUT OF
NEW YORK STATE
Harry K. Thaw Will Be Free
Man if He is Permitted
to Leave.
Special to The Journal.

New York, Aug. Hilary K.
Tnaw will become a free man if he
is permitted toaeaEe the state of New
York to appear in the bankruptcy
proceedings at Pittsburg Aug. 81, &C.
cordinS to Daniel O'ReilIy, who twice
defended the slayer OF Stanford
White, and who is now pressing a
dollars But Thaw must become an
exile from Broadway and New York
forever. AlthOUg h extradition laws
cannot reach him, he would be sub
ject to reincareeration in a home for
the criminal insane under the com
mitment of Supreme Court Justice
Bowling should he ever set foot in
side the state line
Mr.. O'ReilIy confirmed this new
phase of the amazing tangle which
has been woven about Thaw today in
an interview which has laid bare
some interesting features of the cele-
bTated case. The attorney denied in
dignantly that he intended to join
hands with District Attorney Jerome
in any sense Of the word to deprive
Thaw of his liberty, but he insisted
that he would act through the sta. e
supreme court, and If necessary
through the federal courts. to block
the pending Bankruptcy proceedings
and TO recover the thousands of dol
lars which he :ys remain unpaid for
fees and expenses in the murder
trial.
No EXtradition Laws.
IF Harry Thaw ever gets into an
other state rs is as free as anybody"
declared O'Reilly. No extradition
laws can reach him; he is only held
here on a commitment order from
the supreme court which fixes his
domicile"
Does this apply if his removal from
the state is made upon an order from
the United States circuit court?" was
asked
Surely" Mr.. O'ReiIIy replied, be
cause the federal courts rank above
the supreme court of the state. And
It would be within the rights of the
courts to bring him there on such an
order. but | don't think you can find
any judge who will enforce that right
in the face of the facts as they will
be laid before him.
When he was asked to comment
upon a statement talt Thaw had is
sued to the public concerning the
claims of the lawyers, Mr.. O'ReiIIy
talked very freely about the case
He said
Will Ask Commission.
