LIFE NOT EXTINCT.

The present is considered quiet
stage in Pendletons career. But at
the same time buildings aggregating
nearly 100000 in cost are under way.
In the near future handsome fed
eral building is to be erected; a new
Christian church will rise from the
ruins of the old and it is understood
the Alta House will also be rebuilt.
Then the town is in line for an in
terurban road that promises to double
its population within a few years;
great good will also come to it from
the settlement of the irrigated lands
Of the west end and before many
ears the reservation will be under
white ownership. The last will mean
"a dense farming settlement between
here and the mountains.
Pendleton is lively now for dull"
town, but when certain things come
to pass its growth will be something
wonderful.

SCHOOL FRATERNTTIES.

Just at present much criticism is
being made of school fraternities and
especially of those in high schools.
Whethor or not a fraternity is good
or bad depends upon its members. II
Is to he hoped that the local fraterni-
ty is under the former head and will
always remain'there.
But it must be admitted that in
many instances fraternities are per-
uicious. Membership in a fraternity
is pleasant for a student because 1t
furnishes sociability that is hard
to duplicate But the fraternity life
also tends to dwarf individuality and
foster snobbery.
If there was no other reason for the
abolishment of the fraternities than
their subversion of the spirit of de-
mocracy. whichtshould prevail in the
rubic schools of this country. that
reason should be all-sufficient, says
q Portland paper. The value of Amer
lean public school education lies not
alone in what is learned from books.
Added to this there is certain
American character-b building to be
kept in mind; character building
that condemns snobbery and discour-
ages class prejudice The fraternities
stand for and develop snobbery; they
create class distinction in school life,
which never should exist. Their aim
Is shabbily to emulate aristocracy,
Trough in the misguided student
judgment 1t is presumed to engender
aristocracy of the three-ply variety.
The influence of the frat" upon the
general school atmosphere is bad
very bad.
But this fault of non-democracy is
rot the only fault of the fraternities
They engender foolish conceit that
brings about insubordination; they
undertake to create a student author
ity that, upon occasion, will pit itself
against school authority. And, be-
yond these faults, the fraternities are
responsible for the cultivation q So
called social thought and conduct that
are little short of vicious. 1t would
be the part of foolishness for the
public school authorities not to pro.
nounce the doom of the fraternities.
School authorities generally have ar
rived at this conclusion. The need
l. to eliminate the influence of the
frat" and the need is as great in
Portland as in any other city.

\ DANGEROUS JOKE.

In another portion Of this paper ap-
pears an exhaustive article by Charles
J Ferguson in opposition to the
franchise recently granted the oregon
& Washington Traction company. It
is published in a spirit Of fairness
and not because it is approved by the
East Oregonian.
When the franchise was granted by
the city council the action was heart
lily endorsed by this paper. This was
because the paper believed that the
building Of an interurban line will
will mean untold good to the city;
because 1t believed and still believes
the councilmen acted honestly and
wisely in granting the franchise, al
though it was not just as they desr-
ed.
What Mr. Ferguson's interest in the
matter may be the East Oregonian
does not know. But in preference to
his judgment it would rather take the
combined judgments Of the men who
went over the proposition thoroughly
and intelligently with the traction
people while they were here. Upon
Mayor Murphy ouncilmen Strain,
Knight. Mccormack and the others
of the council was the responsibility,
Why not let their decision stand?
For the present at least this paper
Is unwilling to take Mr., Ferguson
suggestions seriously. If he is super
ior in intellect to the present council
men it is too bad he is not a member
o. that honorable body.
But the communication as it stands
IS a joke. In view Of the threat that
it contains it might become serious
one II carried too far and the refer
endum really invoked. But the East
Oregonian does not believe such will
come to pass, and it hopes that Mr..
Ferguson will tell US when to laugh.

THE INDEPENDENT PRESS.

schoolboy has heard, for it was one

within recent years have Independent
papers become dominant. In the past
It was the custom Of papers to follow
b!indly in the paths of their respec-

paper that is not Independent, or at
least seml-lndependent, is not consid-

told Of an occurrence in England. A
poor woman was suing for the loss
of an ass, and a dispute arose as to
Just how the animal had been killed
Finally, the judge told her to tell the
court in her own way exactly how il
happened

"the ass was crushed between the
wagon and the wall, and it happened
this way. Now, my lawyer is the

The woman shifted her position,

laughter was so great that the judge
