SATISFIED, AS USUAL.

John Sharpe Williams, democratic
congressional leader and senator
elect from Mississippi, in answer to
the question as to how the demo-
cratic ticket and platform suited him,
said: "The democratic candidates
and platform are perfectly satisfac-
tory to me- as usual"
But there was no enthusiasm in
this lsconic interview. Mr.. Williams
didn't smile when he said It, The
wholesale swallowing process by the
Bryan forces at the Denver conven-
tion, in which not even the feet Of
any other interests were left sticking
out OF the NAV Of the Bryan machine,
did not "set we'll" with Mr.. Williams
nor with thousands Of other strong
democrats throughout the country
No consideration was given the
ideals OF such men as Henry Waiter
son, Judge Gray, Alton B. Parker,
John Sharpe Williams and others who
could be named. These men helped
to make the democratic party and
are now turned down.

PENDLETON'S PLACE.

In the list OF cities doing building
and having prospective building work
in view, published in the Pacific
Builder and Engineer Of Seattle,
Pendleton comes in for four good
items, as follows: City hall, now un-
der way costing $4,000; levee re-
pairs now under way, costing $4,000;
federal building in near future. cost
ing $4,000.
These four items bring Pendleton
well to the head Of the list of north
west cities doing building this season.
It is an advertisement of which the
city is proud and will keep the eyes
of the northwest on Pendleton, in fu-
ture as in the past.
Contractors, builders, architects,
material men and laborers all over
the country read the Builder and En-
gineer and Pendleton's activity will
reach thousands of people who read
and think.

WHAT WILL PORTLAND DO?

The Portland Oregonian in COM
menting on recent editorial in the
East Oregonian giving some of the
happy results of prohibition, says:
"A big town will never be a dry town
and dry town will never be a big
town. And in the meantime note
the difference in growth Of Pendle-
ton and Walla Walla, Pendleton be-
ing dry and walla walla wet"
The Oregonian's argument is that
big city must have saloons as a part
Of its resources, then. And that un-
less a city has saloons it will never
be big city, regardless of its vital
resources.
The Oregonian does not believe
such argument as this. 1t is making
talk" to prevent prohibition in
Portland. 1t is not so blind to the
true economic foundations Of society
as to make such statements for in
telligent readers to accept.
What will Portland, Spokane, Sc
attic and Tacoma do when the states
Of Oregon and Washington go dry,
within a few years, as they are GER
tain to do. Then we are to have no
big towns and no good towns in
these two dry states, regardless of
their matchless resources?
1t is conceded by many conserva-
tive liquor men that oregon would
have adopted prohibition this year,
had there been a state vote on the
subject. What will Portland do when
this awful catastrophe comes? Will
she be no longer a good town nor
big town? Will she dwindle because
of the loss OF her 400 saloons?
And what will Walla Walla do in
a year or so, when the local option
law goes into effect in Washington.
The people will vote Walla Walla
county dry as they did Umatllla
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-07-13
TOO NEAR BEER"

1t is evident from the actions of a
number of the drinkers of the stuff
in this city on Saturday that the al
legged near beer being sold by a
number of former saloon men at their
old stands, is too near beer" to pass
the test of the prohibition law and
there will be a wholesale cleaning
out of these soft drink places if the
law is not observed.
The people cannot and will not be
fooled. They know as much as the
saloon men and they have voted pro-
hibition on Umatilla county and it
is safe to say If the law is violated
that somebody will suffer for it.
Judging from the heavy prohibition
vote in this county the people mean
business. 1t is safe to say that if the
issue were to be voted upon today it
would carry by majority of at least
1900 instead of 700.
If the law enforcement league re-
Gently organized to help the officials
enforce the law, mean business, it
will have chemical tests Of the alleg-
ed near beer" made to satisfy
number of people who will have to
be shown" before they can believe
that 1t is only NEAR beer"
A law is law and in the East Or
egonian's old-fashioned way, a law
means what it says. The prohibition
law prohibits the sale of intoxicating
liquors and this means all intoxicat-
ing liquors.
Let US give this matter fair test
The people have decreed it. And if
the people mean business 1t will be
easy to apprehend the culprits. The
people are not vindctive and do not
want to force the saloon men entire
ly out of the county and state, but
there must be law observance.

EVERY VOTE FOR BRYAN.

The most astonishing news from
Lincoln. Neb., is this, sent along by
a correspondent of the New York
World: There is a scheme on foot
to give to Mr. Bryan the unanimous
vote of the city of Lincoln if he is
nominated. If this is attempted it will
be carried out.
The Lincolnites have high city pride
and if it is decided proper to give Mr..
Bryan all the votes in this campaign.
1t will be done. 1t would fare badly
for any man who opposes. This seems
to the townspeople just thing to do.
Mr.. Bryan is the best asset of the
city. 1t thrives on his name. 1t has
grown great under his patronage" A
tremendous change must have come
over Lincoln if this is true. It 1896
and 1900 Lincoln took pride in the
fact that Mr.. Bryan's city, Mr.. Bryan's
ward and Mr.. Bryan's precinct went
heavily republican. But perhaps Lin
coin, after all these years, has be-
come grateful to "the commoner" for
the way he had advertised It,
