HER MESSAGE.

One afternoon a young woman step
ped up to the telegraph counter in
local department store, and in
trembling voice asked for supply OF
blanks. She wrote message on one
blank, which she Immediately tore in
halves; then a second message was
written out that was treated in the
same way; finally a third was finished
and this she handed to the operator
with feverish request that it be
rushed" When the message had
gone on the wire and the sender had
departed the operator read the other
two for her own amusement. The
first ran: "All at an end. Have no
wish to see you again" do not
write or try to see me any more"
was the tenor Of the second message.
The third was to this effect: Come
at once Take next train II possible.

LEAVE THE PHILIPPINES.

Should the democratic party be
placed in power the United states will
withdraw from the Philippine islands
ag quickly as conditions will permit.
Regarding the attitude Of democrats
upon this subject, w ]. Bryan said:
"The democratic policy does not
contemplate immediate withdrawal
from the Philippine Islands, but it
contemplates an immediate an
nouncement Of the nations policy.
When that policy is announced, all
suspicion will be removed, all hostil-

NO LYING DOWN.

If Pendleton is to grow as it should;
il it is to advance from the good live
~ town that it is to the position Of
real city, it must have payrolls. With
cut manufacturing plants Pendleton
can never be more than a good farm

ughtfully belong here Pendleton can

This is why the East Oregonian has
urged so strongly that the wooden mill
be retained. This is why this paper
has worked with all its strength to
keep the mill from going away.
At present everything looks good
for the retention Of the mill. The
mill is for sale. The money with
which to purchase the plant and op-
crate it is practically in sight One

With conditions as they are there
can be no excuse for failure. The
men behind the woolen mill move
ment should not lie down unless the
world comes to an end It is up to
them to drive the proposition through
to a successful finish regardless OF
any petty obstacles that may arise.
The Bible says that the man who
putteth his hand to the plow and

CITIZENSHIP.

At time like this when the presi-
dency of the United States is being
decided 1t is the duty of every citizen,
young. old and middle-aged. to give
careful thought to the questions at
issue and to the character of the men
before the people.
Citizenship in a republic means
something. The individual citizen is
the integral unit in the government.
This involves a responsibility that
should be met not in an indolent,
careless manner, but with earnestness
and courage.
The voter who is too indolent or
too indifferent to reasonably inform
himself upon political subjects is
recreant in his duty; the voter who
has not the courage to vote as he
thinks, is not worthy of the ballot.
NltlLtlHHll - q SaNltu li-iN' NN'u'
patriotic men place it above personal
interests and above their allegiance
to party.
There is now a young mems politi-
cal club in this city, a republican
club. The idea is good one. But
the boys who belong to the same
should not confine their activity to
campaign songs and torchlight pro-
cessions. They should study the poll
cies of the various parties and study
them thoroughly.
It matters not whether these boys
become republicans or democrats. If
they decide the questions intelligently
and honestly all is well.
The curse of a free government
lies in the Indifference and moral
cowardice of a portion of its people;
the hope of this country, and of all
other republics. lies in those who are
honest. intelligent and have the cour-
age of their convictions.

THE WEST ENDS GROWTH.


Times are supposed TO be quiet in
the west end of this county. Yet in
that section, as in Pendleton, splen-
did progress Is being made almost un-
noticed.
Gradually the land under the east
Umatilla project is being converted
into hundreds of little homes. Land
T. steadily going upward in price.
Hermiston and Echo are both thriv-
irg, All over the west end a sound,
steady growth is noticeable.
Through the bitches of the east
Umatilla project and the various pr-
vate projects of that section the
breath of life was waited to the west
end. The land is now just awaken
ing from its long sleep. The activity
now on in Hermiston and vicinity Is
merely the beginning of what is to
come
As sure as the sun shines and water
runs down hill the west end of this
county is going to be converted into
thousands OF small farm homes
There is no irrigation project in the
world more favored than the east
Umatilla. It has the soil. the water,
the elevation and the transportation.
All that 1t now needs is the people.
They are coming.

SUNDAY SPORT
Ball Playing will be Per.

WASHINGTON. MAY 25-with the
approval of the President, the War
and Navy Departments have an
nounced a definite policy as to the Sun
day ball playing at the military posts
and navy yards throughout the coun-
try.
Soldiers, sailors and marines will be
permitted TO indulge IN the national
pastime at will On Sundays on the gov
ernment reservations, so long as 1t
does not interfere with their regular
duties. Whenever there is a pronounced
sentiment in the civil community al
jacent to the post or yard against such
ball playing, the reservation will he
closed to the public on that day.
Information to this eject is being
sent out in response to all complaints
received by the department from minis
terial and other organizations which
object to Sunday BAH playing by the
enlisted men of the army and navy
II is believed this policy will obviatc
the objections of the civilians and at
the same time permit the men to in

how badly he wanted him TO win. Last

that he and Forneciari will have a
