East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-02-08

The Portland Oregonian prints the
following interesting and pertinent
review of the congressional nomina-
tion and election in the second or
eastern oregon district:
Will there be a cleanup in the next
Republican primaries and general
election that will make Senator
Bourne the big IT in Washington, in
J Oregon affairs? says the Oregonian.
This question is of high interest to
the friends of Senator Fulton and
Representative Ellis, for they feel
that Senator Bourne is working for
the defeat of both.
They say Bourne's influence was
one of the things that brought forth
T. T. Geer to fight Ellis for the re-
publican nomination for congress
in the second congressional district;
also that Bourne would like to bring
out a rival against Representative
Hawley in the first district, but sees
that Hawley has too tight hold on
the office; also that Bourne has en-
VI,
Cake against Fulton, willing either
for Cake or Governor Chamberlain
to win the peoples choice" title,
thereby to make himself Oregon's Sc
nior republican senator or Oregon's
only republican senator.
Fighting Against Ellis.
1t is told that last summer Bourne
was trying to bring out a rival
against Ellis, in the person of Frank |
Davey, now receiver of the Burns
land office, but that Davey wanted
the receivership, refused to run for
congress, and finally got what he
wanted. Whether true or not. this |
report came to the ears of Ellis and
was one of the causes of Ellis setting |
himself against Bourne in the Schue-
bel appointment
Some Ellis men go so far as to say |
that Geer would not have become
candidate but for Bourne's persua-
sion. They cite that two years ago.
when Bourne was running for the
primary nomination for senator. and
Geer for governor, the two were
working together, They predict that
if Geer should be elected he will ally
himself with Bourne. 1t seems evil
dent that Bourne does not want FL
lis reelected, Ellis alliance with
Fulton has cost Bourne victory in the
Schuebel appointment.
Undoubtedly this report will be de-
MED by the Geer men, but 1t is hay
ing effect in political circles, for 1t
seems to bear the marks of credibil-
ity' Geer's political leaning, unques-
tonably opposite to Fulton's would
naturally be in the direction of
Bourne.
Has Moody Backing.
Geer will have the backing of the
Moody element in wasco county and
eastern Oregon, but Ellis will have
that of the Furnish and old William
son and anti-Moody element. There
promises to be a renewal of old fac
ional lines to some extent. Geer ex- t
poets to run especially well in Union 4
county, Wasco, Multnomah Clatsop L
md Columbia. Ellis friends are +
counting on Shepherd to pull away v
rom Geer a large number of Multi +
lomah votes, since Multnomah is c
Shepherds county.

4 LITTLE FANCY NEEDED.

The Passaic { N. J.) educator who wants fairy tales and fables barred out of the public schools because so many of the children have to go to work at the age of 14, and have lit- tie enough time to acquire practical knowledge, is on the wrong track. Such children, above all others, need to have the faculty of imagina- tion developed to the highest degree. For many of them there is not much left of the joys of childhood after leaving school save what they arc able to wrest from the daily grind of life by the flights of fancy.-Phila- delphia Record.

 BE SINGER

Nothing adds so much to ones personal power as the knowledge that one is absolutely genuine and sincere.
 If your life is a perpetual lie, if you know that you are not what you pretend to be, you cannot be strong. There is continuous struggle with the truth going on inside you which saps your energy and warps character
 If there is a mote in your eve, re- move 1t at once. Otherwise, you cannot look the world straight in the face. Further there will be a cloudiness, a haze, about your char acter which will be noticeable to those about you.
 Strength lies in character. Deceit is weakness; sham and pretense are enfeebling. Only the genuine and the sincere are worth while.

Chancellor J. G. Wallace this morning, upon the application of ]. R. Giddens, made an order of chancery court restraining Boyd- ston & Adams from slaughtering cattle on land adjoining the com plainant just west of Conway, giving the defendants until Nov. 5 to remove the slaughter house. Evidence was introduced by the defendants to show that the grounds were kept ill sanitary condition, Doctors c. D. Dickerson and w. R.

FROM THE

suit, an extra tuxedo and a silk vest, pair of dress shoes, three suits of clothing, and on down the list winding up with a steamer trunk. All of these things has Robert L. Rogers, former attorney general of Arkansas and one of the leading attorneys of the state, lost.
 He lost them when on journey to New York in July, and now a suit he has filed in the circuit court, to make the Iron Mountain pay S254.5o for the lost articles of wearing apparel, but nothing is in- cluded in the suit for the embar- rassment of the former state off, cial for being in New York with out his dress suit and extra tuxedo and silk vest.
 Chancellor Martineau took a running start yesterday afternoon and tried to wipe the negro divorce suits from the record of his court granting five divorces in which negroes were the litigants and in each case desertion was the cause given for the application.
 All counties have now reported ill the state election, with the ex- ception of Pike, the diamond field of America. Pike county is long on diamonds but extremely slow on electi.n returns, and until some one comes in from that section and brings the returns, s,-for Secretary of State Ludwig thinks they are shy in that section on postage stamps-the actual amount of Don- aghey's majority will not be known. The Donaghey majority is about 65 ,ooo in the "A counties of the state which have reported, and the Pike county vote can change this very little.
 Some strange ma!ady has struck the cattle of several dairymen in the Lonoke district, and veterinary surgeons of Little Rock were sum- moned there in haste yesterday, there being many indications that several herds were suffering from hydrophobia. Dr. H. c. Rice, one of the oldest veterinaries in Little Rock, went to Lonoke and found cattle chasing chickens and goats, and, when he went into the lot, they chased him. Dr. Rice thought at first the cattle might be suffering from Texas fever, and se- cured some ticks from off them. These were brought to Little Rock yesterday afternoon and examined, but the bacteriologist pronounced the parasites to be healthy and bearing no fever germs. Dr. Rice telegraphed his son to return from Heber, and to bring with him Dr. Huffman, the Pasteur expert in Arkansas, who is attending to busi- ness in Heber also. They arrived this morning and the three physi- clans have gone to Lonoke this morning to make further investiga- tionS.

CLEAR. CRISP AND CLEAN
MORAL LESSONS

TN passing it is well to note the pitt
able condition of Louis Glass, who
IL was convicted of bribe giving and
sentenced to the penitentiary therefor
Stripped of the hard-earned honors Of
a lifetime of jealous effort, physically
ailing from causes superinduced by his
miserable environment and the object
Of sympathy or fierce satisfaction, as
the onlooker may stand near or far to
him personally. his case is powerful in
it's moral effect on the community.
The fact that Schmitz, Ruef and
Glass are caught in the legal net, and
that many others will surely be caught,
will have deterrent effect on business
dishonesty and financial crookedness
such as no other earthly power can
have.
In the economy of judicial proceed
ings delay is prominent and inevitable,
but the laws terrors are still vital
things, and it is a grateful fact to the
people as a whole that the day of the
supremacy of scheming dollars to writ
ten law is passed in California.
Recent local convictions and sem
tences strengthen this belief, and though
1t calls for the sacrifice of lifelong asso-
Citations to win victory for law and
order the masses of the people hail the
result with satisfaction. Many a REG
reant boodler and briber is just now
trembling at possible exposure, and the
ways os moneyed men are singularly
straight and open in consequence,
where, before this proof of the power
of law to punish, such men had it's in
terference in disdain.
Los Angeles and California at large
need many things t. fill out the measure
of their destined greatness, but before
all honesty in high places is impera-
tive and the graft trials and the just
punishments springing from them are
rapidly bringing this most desirable
order of things. sympathy with those
who fall in the working of nefarious
schemes can hardly be classed as a
virtue, while the courage that inflicts
the penalty of outraged law on the
culprit must ever claim and hold the
respect and admiration of good men.

A RUSSIAN SCAREMONGER

II ERHAPS Californians will not
rest by night any the more cas-
II lily when they learn that the
source OF the japanese war rumors has
been traced, because they have not
been seriously disturbed by the calam-
ity-boders; but they may be strength
ened in imperturbability when they
learn that Mr.. Dmitroff of Russia is
responsible for the stories about spies,
etc. In an interview he acknowledged
responsibility and claimed that he had
been doing his best to warn America
against the wiles of the Jap. He in
sisted-and insists-that Japan is
seeking war with the United States,
and that her protestations of peace
are intended to disguise her prepara-
tions for invasion. He upbraided our
government for its folly in permitting
Japanese to take photographs and
make drawings of railroads, water
works, harbors. telegraphic systems,
rivers, canals and other pieces that
are Of strategic value in the great
war game. He says that Japanese
veterans of the Russian war are roost-
ing in Hawaii, preening their wings
for armored fight to our shores; that
100000 Japanese are stationed in our
Pacific possessions and that each one
Of them is a fighting machine; that
the 100000 can be landed on the Pa
cifc coast and that we cannot cope
with them.
We might take some stock il the
ululations of Dmitroff did we not re-
call the fact that Japan once whipped
the fur off Russia, and that misery
loves company. But Russia will have
to wait for long, long time before
she finds herself in position to shed
over the United States the unwelcome,
unconsoling tear and bawl, Il told

NATIONAL MINES BUREAU

1T is presumed that the movement
for the establishment of national
bureau of mines has been orig
mated, not in the interests of the pro-
moters, but of the public at large. The
Los Angeles chamber of mines started
its career with the expressed deter
mination to winnow the wheat from
the chaff, or perhaps it might be more
in keeping to say, separate the gold
from the dross. In spite of all uplift-
ing attempts the mining industry, es-
pecially in the east, is still regarded
with timidity. One would rather use
the word timidity than Suspicion"
We believe it is really timidity. A
New Yorker will invest his cash in
new lacemaking plant on the banks
of the Irrawaddy. He will cheerfully
equip expedition after expedition to
discover the north pole and will de-
fray the cost of the recovery and burial
of the remains. He is an easy mark
for every get .rich-quick scheme that
is plotted. But when it comes 10 the
mining industry he is too wise. He
will tell you that when a western mine
is not Barmecide affair." a creature
of the imagination, it is salted; that
the g9id, or whatever it may be, is
carefully distributed among the dirt
piles IN generous handfuls in order
that the bespectacled visiting commit
tee from Boston may see it at a glance.
Mining is the standard joke of the
eastern editor. When he is all out of
quips with which to fill the odd hooks
and crannies of his paper he devotes
himself to libeling the mining industry
Regulation of this important source
of American wealth and prosperity is
Of course essential, but not as much
for the protection of the man who
roars with rage because he does not
get something for nothing and be-
cause his certificates of stock in the
Rainbow Bonanza of Arizona turn out
to be merely samples of highly orna-
mental typography-no as much for
this greedy brother. who is always the
loudest complainer, but for the mining
expert owner who is legitimately and
rightfulIy interested in the development
of bona fide properties. He will vel
come the establishment Of national
bureau of mines.
