Must Keep Up Fight.

The opponents of the measures we
champion single out now one and now
another measure for especial attac.i and
speak as if the movement i'm which we
are engaged was purely economic. 1t
has a large economic side. bHt it is fund
amentally an ethical movement. 1t is
not movement to be completed in one
year, or two or three years; it is a move
ment which must be persevered in until
the spirit which lies behind it sinks
deep into the heart and the conscieLc.
of the whole people. 1t is always i'm
portant to choose the right means to
achieve our purpose, but ii is&ven more
important to keep this purpose clearly
before us and this purpose is to secure
national honesty in business and in
politics. We do not subscribe to the
cynical belief that dishonesty and un-
fair dealing are essential to business
success. and are to be condoned when
the success is moderate and applauded
when the success is great. The meth
DDS by which the Standard Oil people
and those engaged in the other combina-
tions of which l have spoken above
have achieved great fortunes can only
be justified by the advocacy of sys-
TEN of morality which would also just
ify every form of criminality on the
part of a labor union, and every form
of violence, corruption and fraud, from
murder to bribery and ballot-box stuff
ing, in politics.
We are trying to secure equality OF
opportunity for all; and the struggle of
honesty is the same whether it is made
on behalf of one set of men or of an
other In the interest of the small set
tiers and landowners, and against the
embittered opposition of wealthy own
ers of huge wandering focks of sheep
or of corporations desiring to rob the
people of coal and timber, we strive to
put an end to the theft of public LAND
in the west. When we do this and pro
test against the action of all men
whether in public life of private life
who either take part in or refuse tC
try to stop such theft, we are really en-
gagged in the same policy as when we en-
deavor to put stop to rebates or t.
prevent the upgrowth of uncontrolled
monopolies. Our effort is simply to en-
force the principles of common honest.
and common sense. 1t would indeed b
ill for the country should there be an.
halt in orr work.

Not Above Criticism.

The judge who does his full duty well
stands higher and renders better serv-
ice to the people than any other public
servant; he is entitled to greater respect
and if he is a true servant of the people,
if he is upright. wise and fearless, he
will unhesitatingly disregard even the
wishes of the people if they conflict
with the eternal principles of right as
against wrong. He must serve the peo-
Pile; but he must serve his own con
science first. All honor to such a Judge;
and all honor cannot be rendered him if
it is rendered equally to his brethren
who fall immeasureably below the high
ideals for which he stands.
Untruthful criticism is wicked at all
times. and whoever may be the object;
but it is a peculiarly fragrant iniquity
when Judge is the object. No man
should lightly criticise a Judge; no man
should. even in his own mind. condemn
a Judge unless he is sure of the facts.
If a Judge is assailed for standing
against popular folly and above all foi
standing against mob violence. all hon
orable men should rally instantly to his
support. Nevertheless if he clearly fails
TO do his duty by the public in dealing
with lawbreaking corporations, law
breaking men of wealth. he must expect
to feel the weight of public opinlo.
and this is but right, for except in ex-
IRENE cases this is the only way in
which he can be reached ut all. No
servant of the people has right to ex
pect to be free from Just and honest
criticism

BREWERY STOPS GERMAN
CAR ON WAY TO ELY
Indefinitely Hung Up at Ogden. Is the
Latest Word From the Hers
May Get Here Tomorrow.

The German ear entered in the
around the world automobile con-
test was solemnly declared yesterday
by Train Dispatcher Morgan of the
Northern to he hung up indefinitely
at the Becker brewery in Ogden. Mr..
Morgan has been keeping close track
of the racing cars and has heretofore
handed out pure brand of dope on
their movements. His lineup on the
German car, therefore, must be ac-
cepted as accurate, at least until
something more definite comes to
hand. According to a wireless last
night. Morgan was correct. The
wireless depicted the situation so
clearly that suds could fairly be seen
skidding over the top of generous
stein.
If the brewery had not happened
to be on the road traversed by the
German car ii might have been in
town yesterday. As matters stand
there are none sure enough about 1t
to venture a guess as to just when
IL will be here. The car left Ogden
Sunday night but had not gone far
when it encountered the brewery

was to have been at Cobre yesterday
morning and in Ely last evening. 1t
| Is now looked for possibly tomorrow.
1t should get in during the evening
if Ogden and the brewery are left
safely behind today.

My heart belongs unto another
I'm sorry you've proposed to me.
But | can only be your brother.
If YOU should ever want a friend,

ELLIS HOME DISTRICT.

In the declaration of his candidacy
for the congressional nomination filed
at Salem Saturday. Congressman Ell
is gives his residence as 1915 Lewis
street, Pendleton, Oregon"
While there is little significance in
this street address, ordinarily, yet
under the circumstances. it has a deep
significance for the voters of the Sec
ond congressional district.
1t means that Congressman Ellis is
i bona fide resident Of this district,
that he has a home in the district,
and a permanent home address where
his household and headquarters will
always be found. He has lived in
this district, at Heppner and Pepdle-
ton for the past 25 years and has no
other home.
II defeated in the congressional
campaign, Pendleton and the second
district will continue to. be his home.
He is a fixture in this district and
has not come here temporarily to
run for office and if defeated to
move away to some other more prom
ising field.
Let the voters of this district re-
member these facts. Congressman
Ellis is bona fide resident Of Pen
-dleton and the second congressional
district He can always be found
here. He has a home address, per-
manent residence and is one of US in
this section of the state. not for po-
iitical purposes, but because he has
chosen to live here and make 1t his
home, permanently.

RIGHTS FOR THE WOMEN.

There are a large number of wo-
men who do not wish to vote. Very
well, it is not compulsory. Should
this number prevent those who do
wish to vote and help better condi-
tions, from voting? Is it not right
and just and fair that every woman
who wishes to vote should have the
privilege to do so. Those who do not
wish to vote will not be forced to do
so. They can stay at home, like the
democrats.
But it seems that if even one
tenth part of the good women of Or
egon desire to cast a ballot they
should be granted that right; they
could vote, others need not. There
is nothing more compulsory in wo-
men voting than in men and many
good men stay away from the polls
for years at a stretch, to their coun-
try's detriment.
There are thousands of progress
sive, intelligent, thoughtful, pure
minded women in Oregon who would
vote and vote right for Oregon.
Should not these women have a right
to vote if they desire. If those who
do not think, who do not take an
interest in public affairs, in laws
under which their sons must live, do
not wish to vote, let them stay at
home. Is it not better that these
pure women vote thar that drunken,
ignorant and immoral men vote at
every election? Is it fair to class
good women beneath bad men? Let
us give Oregon's mothers the right
to vote this year, and those who do
not wish to vote may continue to act
just as they act now. There will be
nothing compulsory in the new right.
The East Oregonian believes that
one good woman, one pure-minded,
noble mother is a better citizen and
more entitled to vote to protect her
sons than a thousand loafing, drum
ken vagabonds who usually control
election results.

WATCH YOURsELF GO BY.

Just stand aside and watch yourself
go by;
Think of yourself as she" instead of
az"
Note, closely as in other men you
note,
The bag-kneed trousers and the seedy
coat.
Pick flaws; find fault forget the man
is you.
And strive to make your estimate ring
true.
Confront yourself and look you in the
eye
Just stand aside and watch yourself
go by.
Interpret all your motives just as
though
You looked on one whose aims you
did not know.
Let undisguised contempt surge
through you when
You see you shirk, o commonest of
men!
Despise your cowardice; condemn
whate'er
You note of falseness in you any
where.
Defend not one defect that shames
, your eye
Just stand aside and watch yourself
go by,
And then, with eyes unveiled to what
you loathe-
To sins that with sweet charity you "a
clothe-
Back to your self-willed tenements
you'll go
With tolerance for all who dwell be-
low.
The faults of others then will dwarf
and shrink,
Loves chain grow stronger by one
mighty link
When you, with che" as substitute for

Have stood aside and watched your-
self go by.

BY RAIL TO KEY WEST

A speck of reef far out in a tropi-
cal sea, much nearer to the coast OF
Cuba than to any port of its own
country. Key West has long been the
most remote and incongruous city
claimed by an American state. In
days gone by its spongers, wreckers
and Spanish-speaking cigar-makers
no more dreamed of being linked with
the mainland by rail than do the peo-
pie of Honolulu.
Until 10 years ago their nearest
home port was Tampa, $50 miles up
the Gulf of Mexico. Then the Flag
Ter railroad, which had been advanc-
ing down the strip of wilderness along
the Atlantic seaboard. brought Key
West within reach of Miami 1871
miles away, by steamers which skirt
ed the far-flung chain of the Florida
keys.

with stupendous difficulties and at
an expense of $15,000,000, through
the Atlantic to a remote reef-what
