CONFINEMENT OR MONEY.

How many people whom you know
are really contented and happy? How
many are satisfied and are taking life
as they should? How many are free
from the terrible tension of money
making?
Comparatively few people place con-
tentment above money-making. Per-
haps nine-tenths of the people of the
world are money-mad, they feel that
making money comes before every
thing else. This is broad assertion,
but take an accounting of your friends
and see if it is not absolutely true.
Christian, infidel, Jew, gentle. pa
gan or whatever the religion the one
consuming passion and one central
thought is money-making. 1t is the
ruling. passion, the craze of the world.
Lives are shortened and embittered
by it: friends are estranged; happiness
is destroyed; men are reduced to the
level Of the hog. While contentment
is such a common commodity, while 1t
encourages long life and health and
strength, men scorn it and choose
the dellrium Of money-making q. by
which they burn out their lives,
smother their better sentiments, invite
early decay, illness and suffering.
When the world gets away from the
money idol, when it quits its mad
stampede for wealth, the historian will
have a different tale to tell. This
craze has shortened the span of hu-
man life by one-third. 1t has cut off
useful men. brilliant intellects in their
prime. It has smothered and Destroy
ed the finer sensibilities, elevated the
brute passions and filled courts with
litigation, asylums with lunatics and
prisons with felons.
The cure for it all Is to accept con-
tentment and sane sensible moderate
living for the delirium Of money
making. the craving for wealth.

HE is MY FRIEND.

Who hath himself the Llfe-test fifty
borne;
Who Loss hath met and bravely SPELL
ed it Gain;
Who joyed in service. yet must needs
be served;
Who-mute-hath heard the cruel
speech of Pain;
Who this, all this.-ah, more!-hath
deeply known,
And still, begin, hath dropped tear
for me-
He Is my friend Why, then. may
repine?
Though lessoned in the self-same
school of Loss;
Though still for me the unattained
becks;
Though NO one knows!" be still my
moan by night;
Though double deep the ills of life up
roll,
Though this, all this,-ah, more!-I
deeply know,
And inly marvel what the days may
bring
May I replne? He is my Friend
Enough.

There is no reason in the world why
Pendleton should not manufacture all
the brooms needed for the entire in-
land empire section. The soil will pro-
duce an excellent grade of broom corn,
this city is centrally located and could
supply all of the northwest at reason
able cost and with a small capital a
thriving industry could be establish
ed here. Payrolls are what Pendle-
ton needs, Such a factory would en-
ploy from Is to 20 people. A combin-
ed harvester factory here could en-
ploy 40 men, an enlarged wooden mill
would employ from $50 to 200. There
are scores of opportunities if Pende-
ton will grasp them.

REMEMBER TILE FAIR.

Umatllla county farmers should
prepare for the coming district fair by
shaking off the apples where they
are too thick on the trees in order to
have some fine specimens for display.
They should gather some choice sam
pies Of wheat, barley, oats and other
crops for the exhibit and should cultl-
vate some Of the choicest vegetables
of the garden for the agricultural
display.
The coming fair is to be the best yet
held. The commission is planning ex-
tensive improvements, the pavilion
will be enlarged, more room for the
livestock show will be provided and
everything will be done to make 1t
pleasant and convenient for exhibitors
and visitors.
There is no reason why the third
district fair should not grow into a
great big, permanent institution with
monster permanent pavilion, per-
manent sheds and stables and track

GOOD MEN SHOULD GOVERN.

believe that a board of five select
men would be safer, more intelligent
and in the end more democratic than
an automatic mayor or our present
system.
We need men as agents of the peo-
pie who are competent business men
and have proved themselves to be
such. Municipal business has become
very complicated and needs expert
service.
We can only get expert men into our
city business as great business corpo-
rations get them. These corporations
are governed by small body of direc-
tors, whose chief function is to select
experts. These directors have to be
men capable of directing the grand
policies of the corporation.
We want in our cities men who have
proved their competence in their pri-
vate business. The commonest OBJ
lection is all in the word "un-Amer-
ican." So many good things nowadays
are un-American. So many / have
heard called that when first proposed
have later proved their worth and been
adopted. Undemocratic is another
such word. Whatever policy will get
the work of the people we'll done
ought to be democratic If it isn't now.
Those are the very conditions of the
life of democracy.
But no form of government will be
good government unless there be be-
hind It the voting population which
desires good President

THE NEW PENDLEToN.

1t will seem strange TO have no sa-
looms in Pendleton where for 40 years
the saloon has been the only open door
for the stranger, the only rest room,
the only lounging place the only open
resort with an inviting chair and a
place to sit and rest for a few mo-
ments.
Pendleton has sacrificed everything
t. the saloon. She has discouraged
every other form of resort, because
the saloons wanted to monopolize the
time and rake in the money of the
idle man. The saloon has wanted to
corner the rest room proposition and
has outbid every other institution in
rents until Pendleton became top
heavy with saloons and top heavy with
excessive rents.
Now we will get down to sane
level. The new Pendleton will offer
lease Of life to small industries,
which can afford to pay rent with the
saloon competition eliminated.
Grocery stores which have been
crowded off Main street by saloons
will now be re-established. 1t will now
be possible for the city to rent a large
rest room for the country people to
enjoy after their shopping is done and
the new Pendleton will have much to
attract customers to the city.
Pendleton has been soaked, satur-
ated, glutted with the idea that the
saloon is the ONLY THING. This
sentiment has been thought. talked,
discussed, agreed to and emphasized
by the city until a large proportion
of the people have come to actually
believe it. But nothing is farther
from the truth, when men come to
their senses.
The new Pendleton will be better
than the old. With the new city hall
erected in the heart of the city, with
its library and inviting assembly hall;
with the new federal building as a
home for the postoffice and other gov
ernment departments, and with in
creasing country settlement, the new
Pendleton will forget the saloon and
will rejoice that she got rid of them
with as little expense as she did.
Let us discourage the croaker. Let
US meet the new condition like men.
Pendleton is here and is going to stay
and grow. New faces are seen in
business every day. Let us greet the
stranger and inyite him to join with
us in the task of holding Pendleton
in first place among the cities of the
inland empire.

THE SWEETEST LIVES.

The sweetest lives are those to duty
wed,
Whose deeds, both great and small,
Are those knit strands Of an unbroken
thread
Where love ennobles all.
The world may sound no trumpets,
ring no bells
The book Of life the shining record
tells.
Thy love shall chant its own beatltudes
After its own life workings. A child's
Eet on thy singing lips shall make thee
glad.
A poor man served by thee shall make
thee rich.
A sick man helped by thee shall make
thee strong.
Thou shalt be served thyself by every
sense
OF service which thou renderest.

PRIEST 100 YEARS.

The Rev. ]. C. MOynihan, Catho-
lie priest of Chicago celebrated the
Tooth anniversary Of his birth last
week. To reporters who sought his
views and advice on how to go the
scripture span Of life 80 years better,
the venerable clergyman gave these
three simple rules: Eat and sleep
regularly; don't worry; don't smoke
or indulge in liquors" The centenar-
ian priest is still hale and hearty,
with the exception of his hearing,
which has been affected for a number
of years. His eyesight is excellent and
he spends most Of his time reading
newspapers and magazines.

POLITICAL LIBEL.

If the passage of the Huntley bill
or corrupt practices act, by the people
of Oregon will have the effect of hush
ing up the mouths of political liars,
that will be sufficient justification for
the initiative and referendum amend
ment.
Under the corrupt practices act just
passed, it will hereafter be a crime
for one politician or his friends to lie
on rival candidates or their friends.
Political slander will hereafter be a
serious crime and everybody is glad
Of it.
The disgraceful lies which gain cir
culation during campaign times are
really degrading to citizenship. APP
parently respectable men will hatch
up and circulate political lies which
should put them to shame. The same
men would not think of cheating or
lying in business affairs, but they feel
that political lies are justifiable.
If the Huntley bill stops this shame
full practice and places the political
campaign on a high, pure, clean, hon
orable level, that will repay the people
for all the mistakes made under the
initiative and referendum amendment.
It will keep politicians busy to dodge
all the political crimes.
