UnhcsltatinsIy Recommends Pe-ru-na'

Tribune that the East Oregonian has
changed front on the liquor and moral
issues, it is only necessary to revert
back a few months to the fight which
this paper conducted, single handed
and alone. against gambling and n
wide-open town.
The East Oregonian sowed the seed
of whatever reform may now come.
IL plowed the new sod. bore the brunt
of the battle, met the scorn and deri.
sion of such sexIess things as the
Tribune has always been on moral is
sues, and made good fight. That is
sufficient. The people will now take
care of themselves.
1t may be pertinent to ask what.
the Tribune ever did to help improve
moral or civic conditions in Pendle-
ton?
Less than nothing; it has been the
secret supporter of the gambler, the
cowardly apologist for the immoral
element, a shrinking parasite sitting
astrde the fence. ready to fall on the
side which promised greatest finan-
cial returns.

THOUGHT FORCE--IN PENDLETON

A little illustration of actual
thought force and influence right here
at home in Pendleton has reached
the East Oregonian.
You know so many people scout the
idea that mind can be made to control
events, circumstances, conditions, peo-
pie, opportunities. So many people
think that the mind is just an Incl
dent; that it is not an initiative pow
er in human events, that it is refresh
ing to hear the reverse sentiment stat
ed and see it practiced.
A young girl music student was to
sing at an entertainment and being
naturally timid, she had misgivings as
tc the outcome of her effort and ex-
pressed fear that she would fail
But the teacher, thanks to her ad-
vanced thought and high, mental
plane, made the event a success for
her pupil by giving her good sugges-
tions, by fixing the childs mind on
success.
Just remember and think that you
are going to sing WELL" she said to
the girl Don't think of failure; be
hopeful; keep success in your mind;
imagine yourself doing well; con-
stantly think think, think of singing
sweetly and you will sing sweetly."
And turning to the girls compan-
ion, she said: And you can help her
by thinking of her as being success
full; look forward to her number and
think that it will be the best; send
her good thoughts when she gets up
to sing; give her courage; give her
assurance of triumph, and she will
sing we'll and make no blunders."
And the girls number was beauti-
fully rendered. Will anyone question
the fact that the kind thoughts and
hopeful suggestions which she re-
ceived from her friends, helped herr
This is a little, every day illustra-
ton, but 1t shows the far-reaching
possibility of thought force If prac-
ticed inteIllgently, on very occasion
in life.

BEST ADVERTISING MEDIUM.

For several years in Pendleton few
cf the better class of saloonmen have
been buncoed into the belief that the
morning paper was the best advertis-
ing medium, but at last they have
come to their senses since they get but
few returns from ads in the morning
paper and now have determined to
advertise in the evening paper by
which they can reach the public.
That is the reason their ads are now
found in the East Oregonian, in
stead of in the Tribune as formerly.
They have paid dearly for their ex-
rerience with a morning paper, as an
alleged advertising medium.
The last and most convincing fact
which was needed to make them see
their mistake was when the morning
paper was forced to the desperate
straits of engaging in lottery to in
duce people to take or read the paper
under any circumstances.
II is not necessary to hire people
to read an evening paper and 1t Is
not necessary to cut rates to secure
advertising for an evening paper that
is a paper. That is the reason for
the Increased advertising patronage of
the East Oregonian.

soPnISTRY ON SENAToRsHIP.

In an appeal to the political preju-
dice of voters on the popular election
of United States senators the Oregon
ian purposely mlsstates the situation.
In discussing the senatorial question
it persistently says that republicans
will be forced to vote for democratic
senator in the legislature.
If republicans vote for the republi-
can candidate at the polls on June /,
there is no possible emergency by
which a democratic senator could be
elected through the working of state
ment No. l.
At the election of 1905, 55,554 re-
publican votes were cast for Frank
Benson, the republican candidate for
secretary of state. There are that
many republicans in Oregon as shown
by the official records.
Only 25.SO1 votes were cast for
Sroat, the democratic candidate in the
same election.
If these republicans vote for their
republican candidate at the June
election, Oregon will have a republi-
can senator, If republicans insist on
republican candidates for the legisla-
ture subscribing to statement No. /.
or the peoples choice.
However, If the legislature is un-
pledged, and the members take the
senatorial election in their own
hands, as the oregonian desires them
to do, by bribery, fillbustering. boodl-
ing and corruption as practiced of old,
q democrat may be elected. This is
the desire of those machine polite
ians who are opposing statement No.
l.
Let republicans vote for republican
legislators and for the republican can
iidate for senator. That is the way
to insure the integrity and power of
the republican party in Oregon. Trust
the people. Abide by their choice.
Quit lodging. Let clean politics take
It's course. Place principles above

WORDS, WORDS, WORDS!

The agility of T. T. Geer in using
scathing epithets. vulgar names and
low slang. in attempting to answer
cold facts, is remarkable. Voters vii
not be won over by his answer to the
Relden Grant affidavit. There i:
nothing in his answer but attempts al
eloquent Indignation, apologetic
phrases, self-praise and bids for SYM
pathy.
AS the East Oregonian has said be-
fore, had the editor of this paper
known personally of the inside facts
OF the Geer-P -Plummer matter it would
not have indorsed Mr.. Geer for sena-
tor and would not have supported him
for any office. In investigating that
political deal it found the facts which
it gave to the public. Mr. Geer can
do the explaining.
The public is entitled to know the
record of office seekers and office
seekers must meet cold facts with sat-
isfactory explanations. Words will not
take place of facts; abuse will not an
swer a cold blooded, black and white
affidavit.
T. T. Geer is a candidate for the
highest office in the gift of the people
OF this congressional district; he came
into the district purposely to run for
the office; he sets himself up as a
more fit person for the office than its
present incumbent; he is making a
persistent campaign before the voters
and he must meet fairly and squarely
the written records of his political
deeds.
The people are entitled to know his
qualifications, his record his political
calibre and character and if there
are things in his record which he can
not explain, the East Oregonian is not
to blame for it and should not be
held responsible.
Mr.. Geer has made the fatal mis-
take of playing dirty politics and now
the reward is at hand. Instead of
standing for something, instead Of
bayip, a baoLbopa apd noIffioa1 tn
tegrity, he has followed along with
the current of corrupt politics and has
naturally been engaged with other
machine men In some Of the dirtiest
deals in the history Of the state of
Oregon.
Take his newspaper work here in
Pendleton as an example. He has
never come out boldly and fearlessly
for anything; he never commits him
self; he never takes any decisive
ground; he always deals in gllttering
generalities; you never know where
to find him; he always leaves a loop
hole open by which he may back out
of any situation; he lodges, shirks,
slides around issues; he answers ar
gument with ridicule; he pats every
body on the back, but says nothing
that could be construed into a decl-
sive, well grounded sentiment on any
. subject or issue.
WHAT would he be as congressman?

Biz Contract for Granite COMPANY

The Woodbury. Granite Co., Hardwick,
has just secured quarter million dollar
contract to fun nish granite for the Ma
honing county court house which will be
erected at Youngstown, Ohio. Manage +
George Fl. Bickford of the Hardwck
company has just returned from Ohio.
where he has been staying for three
weeks to land this contract, one of the
biggest single jobs to come to Vermont
concerns for some time. Concord, N. H.,
was trying hard for the contract, but the
Woodbury. company got it finally by the
unanimous vote of the commission hav-
ing the matter in charge. The fight be-
tween the two places has been on for
three months. This means a boom for
Hardwick, where the granite business
has been rather dull for year or more.
The work will not be begun for month,
probably, as the plans will have to be
completed before actual cutting can be
done. Manager Bickford says that all
the work will be cut there. This will
meal that the company will later add a
large number of cutters, probably two
hundred, to the one hundred that are
already employed.
