Reports are coming in daily con-

in the East. While the thermometer
seldom records above 90 Fahrenheit,
there is an intense degree OF humid

degrees is often experienced, but the

GENERAL SHERIDAN.

They did a proper thing when they
erected a monument in Washington
tn General Phillip II. Sheridan. 1t is
more strange his memory was not so
honored before.
Of all the gallant men, federal and
confederate, who came to the front
during the days of the civil war, Gen.
cral Sheridan was one of the most
striking. He was the typical battle
leader Of the war. Though not in
class with Grant and Lee, his record
vas none the less dazzling.
In warfare two classes Of generals
are needed-strategest and fighters.
Sheridan IS said to have been both.
But it was as a fighting leader that
he became noted. He played his
great part at Cedar Creek when he
rallied his broken army corps and
took them back to victory. There he
was the elementary soldier, not the
tacticlan, and his deed made him de-
serving Of the honor that was bestow-
ed upon him.
And It is a good thing to honor the
memory Of men who like Sheridan
were strong upon the field Of battle
This lg an age Of business and Of in
dustry, not Of militarism. For many
years America has been free from
the alarms Of war, with the excep-
tion Of the brief fight with Spain.
But the day Of universal peace has
rot yet arrived Much Of the world
Is still barbaric. Few countries are
az enlightened as America. The
other big nations Of the earth are
armed to the teeth. Some day the
call to arms may again sound for the
people OF the United States and the
flower Of American manhood may
have to go forth to fight greater
war than any in this country's his
tory New Sheridans will then be
needed and they will come forward
more readily because Of the honor
just shown the memory Of Fighting

FOR FAvORs BESTOWED.

This is a day when kindness rules
in the hearts of the American people
and gratitude is shown for the bless
ings of life. liberty and the pursuit of
happiness as they obtain in this God
favored nation
And there is much to be grateful
for. There always is and always win
Ii. The world is good and the best
part Of it, so we think at least, is that
land above which flies the starry flag
Of freedom-the land where every
honest man ranks as a nobleman and
virtuous women are ladies.
If any of the people of the earth
should return thanks to a higher pow
C for the blessings of life the people
O: the United States should do so.
Here life is at its best and to the ma
jcrity of people it is very satisfactory.
Nor should our thanks be less sin
cere because there are things that do
not please. Life is pattern of many
hues. Into the marvellous fabric are
woven bright threads of hope and
triumph and it has SOLDERING shades
wrought by defeat and sorrow Were
K not for all these it would not be
50 beautiful.
In business, in industry and in pub
lie life there are many things that
are not right. But they are over
balanced by things that are. And the
process is steadily upward. Public
life in America is now better and
cleaner than it was year ago. In
congress and elsewhere honest men
are replacing "undesirables" and the
dangers Of special privilege, the
greatest foe Of free government, are
being gradually lessened.
Commercial life is also upon
higher, better plane than it has ever
been before. Business is not a matter
Of deceiying and cheating as it was in
the days Of old. Good business now
follows plainly marked lines Of fair
ness and honor.
The same is true in everything
else. The world Is growing better and
life daily becomes more worth living.
Times are prosperous throughout the
United states and the nation is a;
peace.
In Umatllla county and in Oregon
there is much room for rejoicing on
this brisk November day. The peo-
RE Of this county and state are hap
py and contented. They are making
money and future prospects are good.
This county has wonderful resources
that have not yet been utilized and it
+, now upon an era Of settlement and
development.
For these things and for the count
less other fayors bestowed by the
hand Of the Almighty. thanks may
weil be given.

Consul John T.. Hamilton Of Corn
wall, Ontario, reports that the in
crease in the production of tobacco
in Canada is extraordinary. The pro-
duction in the counties Of Essex and
Kent, in Ontario, has risen from 600,-
900 pounds In 1897 to 100000 in
1906. This tobacco has been recog-
nized as especially suitable for con-
version into plug for chewing and
smoking. The production Is all be-
ing consumed in Canada, and has ma
terially lessened the demand for for
elgn tobacco. Parliament, as claimed,
has made some important changes in
the tariff that will operate in extend
ing and enlarging the production Of
tobacco, not only for home consump-
tion but for export.

Weekly the situation OF this state was
summed up as follows;

senators. 1t was the first state to do
so, and It has now been initiated by
more than 10 others. Oregon's new
law, the first time in operation. re-
suited In the naming of a democrat,
Governor George f. Chamberlain. Six
months later, at the recent November
election, oregon went strongly repub,

been a favorite slogan on the part Of
those who want the coming Oregon
legislature to evade or defy the man.

rect primary law:

BILE design of paving the way for a
popular approval of future court de-
eisions which are expected to undo the
work of the people. These newspa-
pers overlook the fact that in the last
campaign many states whose elector-
al votes will be cast for Mr. Taft, and
which likewise elected republican leg
islatures, declared in favor of demo-
cratic governors. The people of Ore
gon evidently appreciate the fact that
one upright democratic senator is
worth to them any two or a dozen

senators. They are leaders in the uni

The Oregon legislature can now elect
the peoples choice and go about its
legislative work and adjourn. The
Cregonians have made long and
hard fight for political justice and
fair dealing. Either the present law
or some equally effective mode of
popular expression they are determin-
ed to have. If Oregon does not like
its presnt method of choosing United
States senators, Oregon can change
its statute. But to evade tn plain
effect of the law, while it remains on
the books. would be, on the part of
commonwealth an unusually sadden-
ing spectacle of moral deterioration.
The choice of the people of Oregon
can be undone at the coming session
of the legislature only by the acts of
six men. These six must come from
