The Fourth of July Celebration
passed of quietly at Waldport. A
National Salute was fired at Sunrise.
Promply at $3.50 a. m. the parade
started from the water front and
marched to the grove. DR.. M. V.
Leeper was Grand Marshal and Miss
Lizzie Ronkosky Goddess of Liberty.
An excellent Literary program had
been arranged. The feature of the
day was the excellent Grafton de-
hvered by Will Guyn who certainly
upheld his well earned reputation
as a speaker. Promply at one
O'Clock the good people of the town
were surprised at the arrival of a
number of hoboes carrying band
instruments who seemed to come
in from all directions. They fin
tally succeeded in collecting at one
place and rendering some excellent
music. They then paraded the
streets and afterwards furnished
music for the sports consisting of
a ball game, tug of war, etc. Fire
works were begun at nine O'Clock
but unfortunately only a few pieces
had been set off when a spark fell
into box of roman candles, sky
rockets, bombs, ETC., and things
were made lively for those on the
scow for few minutes. The en-
tire outfit was destroyed and the
exhibition brought to an abrupt
close but all were satisfied when it
was found that nobody had been
hurt. The grand ball given by the
band closed the day and as usual
was drawing card. A noticeable
thing was the entire absence Of lie
quor on the grounds during the
celebration. Our people are cer-
tainly living up to their vote.

A DOUBLED-BARREL TOWN.

In a far western country there was
a little country village with two fac
tions two sides of the railroad track
two barrels, as it were, and whatever
was done by one side was opposed by
the other not always because there
was any merit in the opposition, but
simply because it was the duty Of
each side to oppose the other.
The entire town needed water, but
because one side started a movement
to get water. the other opposed; the
town needed good roads and streets,
but every movement by one side to
secure such was opposed by the other;
the town needed school house, but
the two sides couldn't gree and so the
school house hung fire"
When one side of the town prayed
the other cursed: when one side slept
the other sat up and watched when
one side laughed the other frowned;
when one side said thumbs up" the
other said thumbs down." and when
one side ate the other tasted, just to
keep alive difference Of opinion.
The only thing that both sides did
in unison was to pay attorneys fees.
But no such locality as this is to
be found in Umatilla county; her
great big. progressive people could
not, for a moment, tolerate such a
condition. Her people are all work.
ing together for common interest and
mutual advancement. So no one need
smile at Umatilla county when they
read this little fable Of the double
barreled town.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

If you will sift half of the litiga-
ton Of the world down to its genuine
foundation you will find that it origi-
mated in a misunderstanding. The
East Oregonian does not believe that
all the trouble and unpleasantness OF
the world are the results of premed-
itated wrong doing but rather they
are the results of misunderstanding
of the motives and viewpoints of peo-
pie who have dealings.
Half of the divorce cases which are
dragged through courts are unneces-
sary if only the parties fully under
stand each other. Half of the cruel
suspicious in domestic circles are un-
founded and are created by morbid
state of mind. If people would get
up on higher mental ground, look at
life in its broad expanse and not at
their own little narrow pool or chan
mel. many Of the unfortunate miseries
of the world would be avoided.
Fully half of the suits at law in
modern courts are the results of mis-
interpretated actions or motives. II
men would investigate each other
more closely before dealing and then
deal openly and above board, the
courts would be idle most Of the time.
AS it is men enter hurriedly into busi-
ness dealings, trusting to the law to
protect them when they could much
better protect themselves by having
a full understanding in advance, with
their fellow men.
It is unfortunate that misunder-
standings are so costly; that they de-
mand so much mental anguish and
hatred as their price when it could
all be. avoided by just little fore
sight, just a little fairmindedness.
just a little horse sense and manly
investigation.
1t is unfortunate that men who
possess splendid mental capacities by
which to guide their actions should
be compelled to grovel like worms in
the dust and ask somebody else to
settle their problems for them. The
greatest mediator, the highest court,
the wisest judge is clear conscience
and an honest motive. Nothing more
should be needed to direct the public
or private affairs of the world
Just be square; that's the whole
law and gospel.

sconding clerk of the school land
board. The day before the indict-
ments and trials of a senator and
congressman. Today 1t is Steel.
And there are Mays and Meldrum,
and here is Hall. former district at
torney, scheduled for a trial in the
courts. There is Jack Matthews,
dismissed from the marshalship for
alleged irregularities in the land
fraud cases. And there are others.
1t has gone on and on until every
body has that tired feeling 1t has
been nightmare of incompetency
and irregularity. We want to forget
II by being given the means of forget
fulness. We want officials who will
no longer be reminders of this era of
nastiness.
We want no more little politicians
for big places, We want men, men
whose character and reputation will
dispel all doubt. We want men who
can pass muster under the old Thur
man test, Has he been tried; is he
capable; is he honest?" We want a
prosecutor who can and will prose-
cute.
There are plenty of them in Ore
gon, plenty of them OF grand. good
mold. 1t is shocking that the word
had to go out four years ago that
prosecutors for oregon must come
from other states. Yet, such was the
crowd Of ringsters on our earthworks
and filling our offices, that public
prosecutor was actually imported, In
the midst of the humiliation our Of
ficials have brought on us, is It not
clear to the Oregon delegation that
it is time to have a new deal? Let
the man for district attorney be
clean, proven and uncompromised.
Is Mr., Schuebel all this?

FIRST MARKET DAY.

Tomorrow Pendleton will inaugu-
rate her first market day, the first
event OF the kind ever to be held in
eastern Oregon and the success OF the
day will depend upon how the people
take hold Of it.
BY establishing this series of mar
ket days Pendleton lays the founda-
tion for far reaching benefits to be
reaped by her farmers and stockmen.
These sales will bring buyers here
from all sections Of the country and
will place her producers in touch
with those who have the money and
who are in the market for stuff.
Let us make Pendleton the horse
market Of the northwest. Let us CEN
tralize on this thought, on this aim.
on this purpose and keep it ever in
mind: that Pendleton is the horse
market, the center of the best horse
raising district in the west.
No other country in the world can
excel the horses raised in this sec
ton. So IL we organize our market
days and raise good stock, all that is
needed to get the best returns is to
encourage buyers to come to the
public sales at which times they will

PENDLETON'S GREETING.

AS a new year greeting to her
friends in Umatilla and adjoining
counties. Pendleton again declares her
allegiance to the principles of morali-
ty and progress. The declaration of
Mayor E. J. Murphy that gambling
would still be suppressed, saloons reg
ulated and laws enforced just as Wig
orously during his administration as
in the past, is the best greeting that
Pendleton can give to her friends.
The East Oregonian takes a pard-
enable pride in the continuation of
this program of decency. since it bore
much of the brunt of the battle which
won the victory and has lived and
prospered despite the dire threats of
its opponents.
Pendleton is going to be the home
and school town of the inland empire
and such men as ex-Mayor Fee and
Mayor Murphy and their supporters
in the council are doing much to
make it such within a short time.
Good, substantial people in all parts
OF eastern Oregon are looking for a
good school town and a place where
children may be educated in the
midst of good moral conditions and
Pendleton appeals to them honestly
and emphatically as such a place.

THE FAITHFUL ONE.

In the storm and the strife, when
lightnings of life
Had blasted my deepest endeavor'
She crept to my side when the last
hope had died,
And whispered: II love you for
everl"
And the bitter unrest of griefstrick-
en- breast>
Saw a star through the black shad-
ows living,
Knew joy from above in the strength
of that love
That is wounded, and yet is forgiv-
ing!
And Sorrow now seems but a phan-
tom of dreams,
And Peace shall depart from me
never;
Der Life's Valley of Sighs, see! The
light in the skies!-
For she whispers: 81 love you for
ever!"

WHO BUY THE MATCHES.

At one of the leading clubs, the
other day. a number of bachelors
were discussing the question as to
whom furnishes all the matches that
are used. All of the men explained
that they had not bought a box of
matches in years, and yet they always
had matches in their pockets. The
discussion led to an investigation of
the matter. and 1t was found that in
New York city alone there were con-
sumed 26,OOO,O 900 matches every day,
and of this number about 1900, 900
are given away by dealers in tobacco.

TO PREVENT BAD SALOONS.

A decidedly effective move against
the cause of prohibition is reported
from Salem, where the better element
in the liquor business has united in a
protest against licensing a saloon that
has acquired a reputation for viola
ton of the law and for disorderly
conduct. The liquor dealers have al
so signed an agreement not to sell
liquor to minors or intoxicated indi-
viduals.

kind a dozen years ago would have

BRYAN SPEAKS IN DETROIT
Large Audience Listens to "The
Point of View" as Presented
by the Nebraskan.

Detroit. April 16.-Wlliam J. Bryan
tonight concluded tWo-days' speaking
trip through Michigan with an address
before a large audience in the Light
Guard armOry on The Point of View 20
Mr. Bryan arrived in this city at G
o'clock from Jackson, Mich, where he
had made an address this afternoon
He again declared this evening that he
could not discuss the Democratic state
convention in New York saying that
ne did not know enough about it 10 do
so. Mr- Bryan was given an enthusi-
astic reception by the crowd which
filed Light Guard armory when he was
escorted to the platform.
In discussing Imperialism. Mr.. Bryan
referred to the demand for four new
battleShips. and cOngra tulated congress
for cutting il down to two. He used it
to illustrate the evils of imperialism,
and said that the Democrats had for
several years been calling attention to
the fact that the colonial policy, if per-
sisted in, will not only weaken our at
tachment to the doctrine of seif-gOV-
eminent. but increase our army and
navy and involve US in all the perils Of
a land-gTabbing policy"
He continued:
There is danger of war in the culti-
walton of the military spirit: the best
guaranty of peace is TO be found in the
establishment of a reputation for fair
dealing and in the consideration of the
rights of others"

OPINION OF Mr.. BRYAN.
Labor Proposition Should Be Consid
cred on Its Merits.

Jackson. Mich. April l6.-William J.
Bryan, after reading the dispatch from
Washington relative to the probable ac-
tiOH by congress on number of meas
ures which the president has particular
ly urged. said:
Il think the president and congress are
right on some of these questions. and
wrong on others. For instance. | think
that congress was wrong in not relieving
the labOTing men from the operation of
government by injunction and the anti
trust law. | think the president was
wrong in tying the labor proposition to
the proposition in regard to the trusts.
His plan relating to the trusts was;
think. in favor of the trusts rather than
against them. The two propositions ought
to be considered separately and each upon
its own merits. / thing congress is wrong
in opposing the measure to prevent the
watering of stock and that the president
is right in endeavOring to prevent child la
Dor in the District OfCOlumba. | am glad
that congress and the president agreed
about the improvement of the inland wa
terways and the quantity of compensa-
ton to employees injured in public service
This does not cover the whole ground but
it is what / mean when I say congress and
the president are right in some things and
wrong in others.
