Pike


Missouri in March 1853, locat-
ing in Indian Creek township,
Monroe County, where he re-
sided until 1896 when he moved
to Monroe City, the chosen
home Of his declining years.
He was married to Elizabeth
M. Yager 10 October 1858. To
them were born ten children,
niue of whom together with the
devoted wife, 65 grandchildren,
nine great-grandchildren and a
host of friends are left to mourn
the loss of a true and faithful
husband. father and friend.
He was laid to rest in the
Catholic cemetery on March %.
1908, after funeral services at
holy Rosary church conducted
by Rev. FIR. Thos. Mullen. His
pail bearers were six grand
sons. one from each family of
the six older children.
Great indeed seems the loss
to our community and to our
country, when the angel of
death comes forth and leads for
ever from our midst such a
sterling, upright and truly
christian character as that rep.
resented in the long and we'll
spent life of William J. Pike.
1t has been my pleasure to know
him as a neighbor and as
friend for many years, and I am
pleased to note that to know
him we'll was to behold in him
those splendid traits of human
character that enter into the
intellectual and moral makeup
of the uoblest and best of men.
Never in all the. history of a
long acquaintance with him,
have I heard him speak other
than kindly of his fellowmen.
In every detail of his business
life he was honest and upright
with those with whom he dealt
In his home, he was in the
highest sense true aud devot
ed husband and a kind hearted
and loving father, making any
and every sacrifice for the high
er education and moral training
of his children and having him
Iself served some years as teach.
er in the public schools.
AS a citizen, he was intelli-
gent, broad. minded and patri-
otic in all that pertained to the
welfare and advancement of his
country.
He was a practical and de-
voted member of the Catholic
church and as such his life was
a life of high example rather
than precept.
The wonderful patience and
christian fortitude with which
he bore his sufferiugs, was sim
ply in harmony with the faith
and confidence he had always
had in the complete fulfillment
of the divine promise of his God.
Even in the closing moments of
the evening OF his life, when
the dark cold shadows were
creeping slowly and silently
onward from the west, and the
angel of Death was reaching
forth the hand that was to
"lead him gently home" he
said in the fullness of his faith
full christian spirit: "Oh God!
Thy will be done! Thy will be
done!

THE ONLY COURSE.

In an editorial yesterday the Port
land Oregonian dealt sarcastically
with Judge stephen \. Lowell because
he wrote that he did not wish to go
to the United States senate over a
pathway Of broken pledges and disre-
garded laws.
But there are hundreds Of people
IL this county. Of all political faiths
who are proud Of Judge Lowell be-
cause Of the high stand ne has taken.
His action may be displeasing TO the
dresonian and TO the machine ele-
ment Of the republican party in Ore
gon. But it is applauded by the re-
mainder Of the state.
Last spring an open race was ar
ranged between Governor Chamberlain
and II. ". Cake with the senatorshlp
as the prize. The race was won by
the former. 4 majority Of the legisia-
tors-elect are pledged TO see that he
receives the toga. Nothing can re-
seve these men Of the pledges they
took. why should they wish to be
released. They are merely the rep
resentatlyes Of the people and last
June the people Of this state said they
wished Governor Chamberlain to rep
resent them 30 the senate.
To 40 effort to befuddle the minds
Of legislators and Of the people in
general the Oregonian has been print
ing columns upon the subject. It has
dwelt much upon the North Dakota
decision. But the Dakota decision
pertains to the law the people Of ore
gon passed last June and not to the
l.e.t primary law under the proyis-
ir. w-1 ..c scElto-zh.p was
decided
Il matters not how much is said
upon the subject; how many heavy

Every progressive, loyal-hearted
business man of this city should be
out tonight to assist in the reorgan-
ization Of the Commercisi club. It
is a movement for the success of
which the enthusiastic support of all
is needed. Not a man should stay
away because of personal pique or
anything of that sort
For many months there has been
practically a universal cry for the re-
1uvenation of the present club. The
time IS now at hand for action. After
much investigation the committee
appointed has reported in favor of a
plan to remodel the rooms, furnish
them up in an up-to-date manner and
put the association upon a better
working basis. This evening the re-
port will be up for adoption.
II the association rooms are remod-
eled and the organization placed upon
a hard working. business basis it is
going to mean much for Pendleton
The Commercial association furnishes
a place where the business men, pro-
fessional men, property owners and
others interested in the growth of this
city may get together and work fol
the common good.
Just at this time Pendleton is vital
l. in need of live, up-to-date Com
mercial club to take charge OF prop
osisions that come before it; I
needs club that has quarters in keep
ing with the importance of the town
The Commercial club is the town
sitting room. But business men ar
ashamed to take visitors to the pres
ent quarters.
If you love Pendleton and wish t
see this city grow and prosper, com
out tonight and help the good worl
along.

THE PROFIT OF CHEER.

Praise a little when you can,
Cheer a little when you may
Let your halting fellow man,
Who is but an "also ram"
Bless you as you go your way.
Be to faults a little blind;
Danish envy from your breast;
Deign TO be a little kind
To the ones who lag behind,
Though they try to do their best.
Help a little where the aid rs
Which you give will not be vain;
Though you never are repaid,
Through each tear that you have
stayed
You have had a little gain.
Praise a little where you may,
Cheer a little where you can;
His the profit you can say
That which helps to smooth the way
For his weary fellow man.
