rendering moneys to the receivers at the
land Offices will in the future be given a

\ SOCIAL OCCASION.

The fair makes people feel good
anyway" said a well known local
man last night as he looked upon the
lively scene within the pavilion. It
was a casual remark. but the man
could not have paid the fair a higher
compliment if ne had tried.
1t is a very important matter how
the people Of a community feel and
by contributing to their enjoyment
the district fair does good.
Man is a social animal and he likes
to meet and mingle with others OF
his kind. In doing so he finds pleas
ure and profit Culture and advance
ment comes from association with
others. Isolation is deadly to pro-
gress.
During the summer months the
people Of Umatilla and Morrow coun-
ties worked hard upon the farms. on
the ranges ana in the business houses.
Because they have toiled and while
doing so have had little time for
thoughts Of pleasure their enjoyment
is now the keener

PIONEERS. THE VANGUARD.

This day at the district fair has
been dedicated to the pioneers and
the hardy men and women who come
under that class are richly entitled
to any honor that may be shown
them.
Through years Of hard work. pri-
vation and danger on their part in
the early days eastern Oregon was
reclaimed from savagery and made
into a white mans country. There

nrent and thorough than that of the
past.
But the pioneers are the men who
have made modern development pos
sible. 1t was they who broke the sod
and bore the brunt of the frontier
tell and danger. They the men who
really lead in the march of progress.
Across the world the ceaseless march

FORAKER. THE LEPER.

BY a cartoon in the st. Louis Post
Dispatch the plight in which John B.
Foraker now finds himself is strik-
ingly pictured. The title of the
sketch is Make way for the leper,"
and the Ohio senator is portrayed as
ar old man stricken with the incur
able disease and stunned by his for
mer political associates. 1t is a harsh
picture, but it is true to life.
So odious has become the name Of
standard Oil in the United States that
q public man who bears the taint of
association with the giant monopoly
becomes political outcast. \ few
weeks ago Foraker was a mighty
sheik in the republican party. Today
hc is a stricken man.
Until a few days ago Governor Has
kell Of oklahoma was a powerful fig
ure within the ranks of democracy,
hut branded by the president as q
friend Of Standard oil he has been
forced to resign as treasurer of the
democratic national committee and

life Unless he can prove conclusive
" that he has been wrongfully ac-
cused he is a dead one. His party
associates will not and cannot stand
for one upon whom the fatal stencil
has been discovered.
Because of the hatred the public
feels towards the standard oil COM
pany. there is room. quite naturally,
for grave injustice to be done-to the
corporation itself ana to those who
have dealings with it. Standard oil,
Ike other trusts, is both good and
tad. II has honorable men as well
as scoundrels upon its list OF friends.
But the course Of Rockefeller's
company has been such that through
out the nation its reputation now is
that Of a grasping, vicious monster
that knows neither honor nor justice
and grapples with its deadly clutch
