FOR STATEMENT NO. 1.

Are you in favor of the election OF
U. S. senator by popular voter II
so, you cannot consistently be against
Statement No. l in principle, but you
may for policy sake. Be a man!
Stand up for principle!
We are told that according to the
primary low statement No. need not
be subscribed to by the candidates.
We are well aware of the fact But
remember also that the voter needn't
support any candidate for the legis-
lature who does not pledge himself
to vote for the man who receives the
the popular vote at election.-Prairie

KEEP MONEY AT HOME.

The people of Pendleton cheerfully
voted the bonds for the city hall and
now the city council should see that
every cent of that money that can be,
should be expended in Pendleton, for
Pendleton labor, Pendleton skill, Pen
dleton material.
For the past year there has been
but little building and many carpen-
ters. brickmasons and contractors
have been forced to seek work else
where. while the dull times lasted.
Now that the building Of the city hall
is assured, let us give this work to
Pendleton people. Let US buy ma
terial of Pendleton people, as far as
possible, and put the money voted
by the citizens of Pendleton, back
INTO circulation in the channels of
trade.
This may be considered selfish by
outsiders. But this is the way other
towns and cities support local trades
men, and. business enterprises. It is
by patronizing home labor and home
industry that cities are made strong
and substantial and hold their own in
the struggle of the commercial world
Let us always think first OF Pendle-
tor

THE VAMPIRE CITY.

Come with me into Babylon! Here to
my woodland seat
over the miles he lures and smiles
the smile Of the bitter-sweet
| hear the distant cadence, the siren
song she sings;
| smell the incense burning where her
great red censer wings.
II.
out of the night she calls me, the
night that is her day;
| see the gleam of her million lights
a thousand miles away;
AS the roar of a mighty army l hear
her pulses beat
With the tramp of the restless van
dals, the rush of the wearied
feet.
Ever and ever onward a white pro-
cession goes:
Youths with the strength of lions,
maids with the breath of the
rose
Toward her, but never from her,
throned on her armored isles;
They give her their lives for homage,
hut the CITY only smiles,
".
And half revealed is the death con-
cealed in the pools of her oc-
cult eyes;
They know that her breasts are poi
son; they know that her lips
are lies,
Yet still she is calling ever, and echo
is never dumb:
Follow us into Babylon! Mistress of
Life, we come!

away from the newspapers and given
to the state printer.
The newspapers could reach the
voters in way which would be of
some benefit to them; the initiative
measures published in the leading
papers of the state would have been
read and studied, but issued in this
prosaic pamphlet as they are, not one
voter in 20 will even read the titles
to the measures.

AMAZED AT I. T.

Had we found the following in any
other newspaper in the state. says the
Harney News, we should not have
been so amazed as We were to meet
it in the editorial columns of ex-Gov-
ernor Geer's paper, the Pendlet0n
Tribune:
"Of course, all of these democratic
and so-called independent newspa-
pers do not realize that with two or
three republican senatorial candidates
in the field upon which to split the
republican vote, the democrats of the
state, voting solidly for their own can
didate, would be able to possibly roll
up a plurality which would be called
majority"
OF course, the explanation of its
appearance lies in the fact that Mr..
Geer is away from home these days
making his campaign for congress.
But we have seen the same stuff in
several papers already, ard we have
heard it from a good many repdtC;!!ii-
cans who pose as well Informed on
politics and other things. Such talk
only breeds ridicule and contempt
Every man who pretends to any pow
er Of reasoning should know that after
the primary election there can be
only one republican candidate and one
democratic candidate for senator or
any other single office, and that all
other candidates must go upon the
ticket under some other designation
and that the voter has his party nom
nation to support for senator, the
same as for any other office. For
heavens sake, let us as republicans
display common sense at least in the
discussion of such questions.

UP "a senseless clamor for spectacular
effect" That the president has made
a number of mistakes In policy can
not be disputed, but that he is an
earnest, sincere man, actuated by firm
convictions most Of the people Of the
country, whether they differ with his
political beliefs or not. are certain.
The American people, as a whole, are
not so narrow as to believe that the
president is a fraud merely because
they may not agree with all of his
ideas.-Spokane Chronicle.

PLATINUM IN UNITED STATES.

The production of platinum in the
United States in 1904 was 200 ounces
valued at $4160; in 1905 the produc.
tlon was 31S ounces, valued at s5,-
800; in 1906 the platinum production
of the country amounted to 1439
ounces, valued at $45,1S9, a four fold
increase in quantity and more than
eight fold increase In value over the
figures for 1905.

POLITICAL LITERATURE.

The state Of Oregon has just issued
100000 copies OF booklet contain
ing 126 pages and giving in detail all
Of the initiative measures which will
be before before the people at the
coming election.
In addition to the measures upon
which the people will vote next June,
there are arguments for and against
the proposed measures and taken al
together the booklet forms an inter-
estlng political lexicon of Oregon!
Each voter in the state will be sup
piled with copy of this booklet and
1t is supposed that each voter will
acquaint himself with the laws upon
which he Is to vote. Vain hope Of
the reformers! Out of the 1000
copies, at least $4,000 will be cast
away unopened and the sweetness OF
the initiative measure contained in
them will be wasted upon the desert
air Of listIess citizenship.
Since the expense of publishing this
100. .OOO-copy edition of the initiative
measures will be considerable, every
voter should read the measures. The
people will pay the bill any way. and
some good SHOULD come OF 1t.
A grave mistake was made by the
',-.Isiature when shs prbiication otl
,nitiasiye measures was taken

WHY NOT?

The verse you write
You say is written;
All rules despite,
But not despitten.
The gas you light
Is never lltten.
The things you drank
Were doubtless drunk;
The boy you spank
Is never spunk.
A friend you thank
But never thunk.
Suppose you speak,
Then you have spoken;
But If you sneak,
You have not snoken.
The shoes that Squeak
Have never squoken.
A dog will bite.
Likewise has bitten
With all his might,
But not his mitten.
You fly your kite.
But not your kitten.

IMPROVING CONDITIONS.

The announcement OF a reduction
Of 35 per cent in the freight rate on
Grain sacks from Portland and sound
points to the inland empire is a well
come bit Of news to the farmers.
Both the o. r. & n. company and
the Northern Pacific have Joined in
this reduction that it will mean saw
ing of thousands Of dollars to the pro-
ducers. Now If the sack combine
will furnish sacks at reasonable
prices the former may begin to reap
a Just return from his labor and in
yestment in the wheat business.
Slowly conditions are improving in
the inland empire. Railroad rates
and railroad facilities are better than
ever before; the comforts and con-
veniepces of life are within reach Of
more people than ever; the cost of
living is being gradually reduced and
markets for our products are widen
ing.
So with each year come many
marked steps in the progress Of the
west. It is easier and pleasanter to
live here than ever before. 1t is
easier and cheaper to educate chill
dren. maintain homes and enjoy the
necessities and luxuries OF life.
But there is work for everybody to
DO yet before the settlement and
civilization Of the west is complete.
Homeseekers are coming daily; new
towns and settlements are springing
up everywhere; new people are COM
ing into the state, adding their
nNtlment to the multiple
ngtate. and all these
