NO GLOVES FOR GAMBLING.

The city council of Pendleton is
going to handle the question of gam
bling without gloves. The council is
going TO take gambling by the throat
with the steel claws of law enforce
ment
The announcement at the council
meeting last evening that the Pen
dleton saloon man who permitted
gambling in his place recently. must
appear and show cause why his IL
cense should not be revoked, is a
proper and business-like manner in
which to deal with law breaking.
The people mean business in trying
to suppress gambling in Oregon, and
the city council and mayor of PEN
dleton have taken a most commenda-
bic step toward the suppression of the
evil in this city by giving notice that
licenses of saloons which permit
gambling are in jeopardy.
The way to suppress gambling is
to suppress it, If it becomes neces-
sary to tear out partitic balconies
private rooms and even saloon win
dow curtains and screens. to pre-
vent it, the council will be justified
in doing this and'th East oregonian
believes that the present council and
mayor will do this very thing If secret
games cannot be suppressed in any
other wav.

be the guides in the formation Of the
district and the selection OF the head
quarters. On the actual merits Of
the case Pendleton has already won
the headquarters. She is nearest the
geographical center OF the district;
the bulk OF the business Of the dis
trict would originate In Umatilla
county and enormous expenses in
mileage and travel would be saved
by locating the court here. If con-
gress would serve the best interests Of
the largest number of people, Pen
dleton will be selected.

The value to the small town of the
local creamery does not lie in the In
creased population incident to the en-
ployment of a factory force for only
two or three men are required; never
theless it is indirectly promotive of
prosperity wherever located, as in COM
munities Where dairy products are
shipped to distance the different
points along railway line are about
equally patronized as shipping stations
and the merchants of the different
towns usually divide the trade of the
Shippers. On the other hand town
that possesses good creamery is nee
essarily the one that the dairy farmer
ly receives the greater part of his
trade.
The value to the farmer Of the local
concern rests in the fact before noted,
that where competition exists prices
are always highest. Where local inde-
pendent creameries are in operation
their rivalry assures the necessary
competition but observers have noticed
that when competition between CEN
tralized and local concern results in
driving the latter out of business, the
decline Of the dairy industry in that
locality begins at once. When compe-
tition ceases, prices drop and the dairy
man turns his attention to more profit
able lines. The centralizing of the
creamery business results in mon
opoly for each creamery within a GER
tain district. hence the farmers and re-
tail merchants Of Iowa will watch the
over rates with a great deal
of interest.

JOHN MITCHELL IN POLITICS.

JUHN MlICheIl IN SUlsttVS.
That John. Mitchell should permit the
use of his name as a candidate for the
democratic nomination for governor OF
the state of Illinois seems rather I'M
portant. He's a remarkable man with
notable record in the realm OF LABOR
where he has been for so many years
engaged, and if, he should by any
course of events become the governor
Of his state it will be highly interest
ing to observe whether he proves able
to promote harmony among the OPP
posing lends" Of the state. In state
matters Illinois is normally republican
as we'll as in national elections She
has given a majority vote to every
republican presidential candidate since
1872 but in her home administration
she has been more tickle.
Governor Charles S. Deneen, the
present republican governor was
elected four years ago by plurality
over Sturger, democrat, of 26,993 votes.
This is not an overwhelming majority
in a state which generally rolls up over
million, and with the fight which
Governor Deneen may have on his
hands this fall as a result Of state
asylum exposures Illinois looks more
like debatable political ground than
she has for long time.
Politicians like Governor Deneen'
who was formerly states attorney,
know full well how to pull the political
wires, which are generally very i'm
portant to success. But against the
personality of rare figure like that
of John Mitchell, machine politics has
often gone down to dire defeat
Mitchelrs career as president OF the
United Mine Workers was SO eminent
" successful that he might have held
the position Unfortunately had he not
preferred to retire, which he did
against the pressing wish Of the mem-
bership. He was not only the credit
able representative of the miners in all
their troubles, but he was highly re-
garded by the capitalistic side OF all
those controversies. He seemed to be
able to keep from the shoals with rare
ability and he has become probably
the most universally respected and ma
tionally notable figure which organ
lied labor has producedsin many years.
He was member of the conservation

thruout the state he would almost
surely make desirable campaigner,

In Illinois, the issue is usually the

would be given an advantage. Incl

ed, so the issue was squarely before
the conference and there can be no
naggling over the decision. This is
a great step in advance for our Meth
olist friends and one that cannot fail
to contribute to the growth OF their
organization. They are recognizing at
last that suppression OF the liquor
traffic depends upon public sentiment,
not upon arbitrary DAVIS; that educa-
ton is the remedy for its evils, and
that communities should be left free
to regulate, control or suppress liquor
selling as the situation demands, in
order to accomplish the best results.
