ALL TOGETHER.

Pendleton Is now at the open door
Of new era. She enters new phase
of municipal life, a phase not alto
gether untried not altogether expert
mental, for states and cities have met
the same conditions before and have
survived and flourished Under these
conditions. Pendleton will do like
wise.
We have lost the saloons and what
ever business they may have brought
tc the city. We will lose some small
part of the population which depend
ed upon that industry for liveli-
hood. But there will be compensat-
ing movements toward the city to Off
set this outward movement of popu-
lation.
While we have lost the saloons we
sull have Pendleton's excellent school
system. We have Pendleton high
school, the best school of its kind east
Of the Cascade mountains and this
school under its present highly eff
clent management and hearty support
from the people and school board
should bring more people to the city
than 40 saloons would have kept
here.
And the population which the high
school and two academies will bring
to the city will be a much more per-
manent and substantial class than
that which followed the saloons. The
new settlers will be home builders,
school hungry people who will locate
permanently and rear families here,
spend their incomes here and make
Pendleton still the best town in the
inland empire.
There is no use for Pendleton to
"lay down" and say that there is no
hope now, that the 2S saloons have
been closed. II these 2S saloons vera
the only resources of Pendleton it is
time we were finding it out. If the
business from these 2s saloons consti-
tuted the bulk of Pendleton's CONNER
clal and banking business, let US
know the terrible truth and have done
with the suspense.
But such is not the case. Pendle-
ton merchants will find business bet
ter in many lines. Such has been the
case in Wallowa county. Bills were
paid more promptly there. with prohi-
bition than before. Many men with
large families who formerly spent
their money for liquor now buy shoes.
clothing and school books for their
pay cash.
So let us meet the new condition
with a stiff upper lip Pendleton
has resources which cannot be eff
fected by the disappearance of the Ii
censed liquor traffic. She has re-
sources which will be constantly de-
yeloped from year to year and which
will add to her population and wealth /
n spite of the pessimistic wall of the |
saloon men.
Let US pull all together, every day
week and month for Pendleton. Hun
lreds of homeseekers are coming to
he west and Of these many are look
ng for dry towns in which to live and
ducate their children. That Pendle-
on is now dry is the best advertise
nent ever sent out from the city. 1t

CHRISTIAN MISSIONS
AND CIVILIZATION
Boxer War Not Caused by Inter-
ference of Missionaries.
Mr.. Taft Speaks on Subject of
Missions from Personal
Experience.

William II. Taft belieres in the ex-
tension of Christian missions, aud that
the work of Christian Missionaries is
advancing civilization.
In an address delivered by him at
Carnegie Hall, New York City. April,
1908, among other things Mr., Taft
said:
Until l went to the Orient, until
there were thrown on me the response
bilitles with reference to the extension
of civilization in those far distant
lands, did not realize the immense
Importance of foreign missions. Tile
truth is we have got to wake up in
this country. We are not all there is
in the world. There are lots beside us,
and there are lots of people besides us
money and our sacrifice to help them
on in the world. No man can study
the movement of modern civilization
from an utterly impartial standpoint
and not realize that Christianity and
the spirit of Christianity Is the only
basis for the hope of modern civiliza-
tion and the growth of popular self
government. The spirit of Christianity
is pure democracy. 1t is the equality
of man before God. the equality of man
before the law, which is. as | under
stand it, the most God-like manifesto
ton that man has been able to make
Religion and Political Government.
II am talking practical facts about
the effect of religion on the political
government, and / know what / am
talking about. Connected with every
successful foreign mission is school.
ordinarily an industrial school. Also
they teach the native that cleanliness
is next TO Goodness and that one bust
ness of his is TO keep himself healthy,
and so in connection with every good
foreign mission they have hospitals
and doctors And, therefore, the mis-
sion makes a nucleus of modern civili-
cation, with schools. teachers and physi-
clans and the church. In that way.
having educated the native, having
taught him how TO live, then they are
able to be sure that they have made
him a consistent Christian.

A striking proof Of the recovery OF
the business interests OF the country
from the effects of the financial panic
Of 1907 is the simple statement recent
ly sent out as a news item from New
York City concerning The Trust Com.
pany of America The item states that
the trust company upon which a sen
sational run was precipitated during
the financial panic of 1907. has man
aged its business so successfully as to
be able to pay off the loan of S2J,-
100000 which it then effected, in Its
entirety. The company in point Of as
sets and liabilities was the second
largest in the COUNTRY, and the run
which 1t successfully sustained exceed.
ed any ever known in the history OF

What a lot Of fog there is surround
ing the subject of n tariff reduction as
an issue in the pending Presidential
campaign!
A very wide and general feeling fa-
yors revision OF the schedules which
have grown obsolete since the enact
ment Of the Dingley law. No rate can
be made that will be the best forever,
as trade conditions change. The Ding
ley schedules have remained unaltered
longer than those OF any other tariff
since the foundation of the govern
ment No wonder that the opinion ex-
lists among Protectionists as well as
old-time Free Traders that the law
should be readjusted to the times The
practical question arises and confronts
the voter. What Is the short road to
this desired result? In other words,
what is the practical course for the
citizen who regards revision of the
tariff as the import mt Issue OF the
hour-shall he vote for Bryan, or shall
he vote for Taft?
The answer Is that the electors who
want tariff revision must vote for Taft
and Republican members of Congress,
for tariff revision at an early day is
possible only through the agency OF
the Republican party
The Senate will be Republican no
matter which way the people vote next
November. 1t is against all human
probability that a Democratic tariff
measure could get through "A Republic
can Senate. II is unlikely that Repub-
Leans could frame a tariff measure to
which Bryan as President would af-
fix his signature.
To elect Bryan to the Presidency
would be to block the legislative ma
chinery OF the nation so far as the
tariff IL concerned.
To elect Taft and Republican ma
jority IN the House Of Representatives
