WHERE ARE THEY GOING.

Since gambling has been closed in
every larger town in Oregon, where
are the tinhorns to go? Who is 60
ing to welcome them? Who is going
to give them the privilege of conduct
ing their nefarious business?
They cannot roost in Baker City,
La Grande. Pendleton, Astoria Eu-
gene or any other good town in Ore
gon. So they will drift out to places
like Pilot Rock, Echo. Umatilla,
Athena, Weston. Helix and other ex-
cellent smaller towns Of Oregon.
There they will operate all the va
rious phases of their trade. Because
there will be but one or two or per-
haps not more than a half dozen in
place. people will say that they can
do but little harm. But wait
The boys Of the little towns VIII be
brought into direct touch with them.
They hear the fairy tales of fabulous
winnings They will 70 gambling
and carousing and their lives will
have been started on the downward
path
SO are you going to tolerate them.
PILOT Rock. Echo Helix. Athena,
Weston or Umatilla? Are you going
to have it said that this parasite can
stay with you when he can stay no
where else?
Let US have a spring house clean
ing under the local option law in
Umatilla county this spring. Let the
small towns of Umatllla county get
together and put the tinhorn out. 1t
requires but small grain of cour-
age to oust them. ANY illegitimate
business is a cowardly business and.
anybody with a little backbone can
put whole army Of tinhorns on the
run.

THE CATHOLIC VIEW.

The Catholic Sentinel Of Portland
one Of the leading Catholic papers In
the northwest, takes a most advanc-
ed ground on the popular election OF
United States senators and the East
Oregonian takes pleasure in publish
ing the following excellent editorial
upon the subject from the last issue
OF that progressive paper:
It is difficult to understand how
anyone having the best interests OF
Oregon at heart could desire to go
back to the old method Of choosing
United States senators.
The election OF Senators Mulkey
and Bourne was accomplished with
little delay, with no attempt at brib-
cry, or even a thought OF such a
thing. The legislature was able to
devote it's attention to matters of lh-
terest TO the state.
From every point Of view the
nomination of senators by the peo-
pie has proved successful. The
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-02-14

people have no reason to change the
practice inaugurated two years ago
II they are wise they will not listen
tc interested politicians who find
their occupation gone because there
is no sack to be looted.
The talk about the unconstltutlon-
ality Of the law need disturb no one
The validity of senatorial elections
under the Oregon method cannot be
questioned, because the electoral ma
chinery provided by the constitution
is continued in force.
Honest reformers have been trying
for years to secure direct election by
the people of United States senator's.
The old system is known to be the
occasion of great and widespread cor
ruption. The people of Oregon have
found a way to obviate the evils
Of the old system.
Let us make use of our discovery
and vote only for those legislative
candidates who will support the
choice of the people.

BAKER CITY ENTERPRISE.

We can overlook the yawning
prospect holes, the tell-tale mining
ventures which have left the tender
foot stranded in Baker City, in her
excellent advertising enterprise which
has just been started.
Baker City has raised $500 with
which to print and distribute a large
amount Of literature concerning that
locality. She is going to place this
literature in the hands Of actual
homeseekers in the eastern and CEN
trail states. and she will get results.
This enterprise is especially COM
mendable following SO closely upon
the closing Of gambling. The town
will now take on new life. New peo-
pie will come in. The incubus OF the
tnhorn will disappear The old fogy
idea that gambling is necessary to
the business life Of the town will
vanish and a purer. more healthy,
more elevated civic spirit will take
hold OF Baker City.
Her advertising enterprise should
stimulate other towns to a like ac-
tivity. II IT will pay Baker City to
advertise with the little she has to
offer the homeseeker. 1t will certain
ly pay towns having vast idle areas
Of land waiting for settlers to adver-
tise i'm a like manner.

and Umatilla county, This morning
II was letter to the editor asking
for an Illustrated article for maga-
zine on Pendleton and her Indians.
Yesterday It was from a homeseeker
asking for land prices and opportu-
nitles for making a living for fam
lily and SO on every day throughout
the weeks, somebody writes to this
office for Information.
Today Major Lee Moorhouse receiv-
ed long letter from young lady
who became infatuated with one of
his Indian pictures and who express
ed a most fervent desire to see real
Indian on his native heath. Dozens
of letters of this sort reach Major
Moorhouse and others who have TAX
en- a large part In advertising PEN
dleton to the world and all these
little particles of fact make up the
widespread popularity and promi-
nence of the city.
When you can give out anything
which will fling Pendleton's name to
the breeze, do it. When you can say
a good word or give kind thought
which will make a friend for the city
and county do 1t. 1t is in this way
that we get back most excellent re-
turns.

CUTTING sALARIEs-AT THE TOP

The big railway companies do well
in beginning at the top to cut down
salaries, rather than at the bottom
to reduce wages. A reduction of 10
per cent in the pay of persons receiv-
ing $l66 month will be much less
perceptible in the purchasing power
of the people concerned than sim
liar reduction In persons whose
wages amount to one-thrd of that.
The Baltimore & Ohio and the South
ern Railway have both cut salaries 10
per cent, above a certain minimum,
leaving undisturbed all below this
minimum. This will affect the va
rlous business interests directly re-
lated to transportation mucn less Sc
verely than II the cut had begun at

FORBIDDEN MESSAGES.

1t seems strange that even now
there are many restrictions on the
use of as ordinary a thing as a cable
or telegraph wire. Yet 1t is true that
nobody is permitted to send to or
through Portugal anything having to
do with the deeds or thoughts of an
archists and that code messages OF
any kind are forbidden In Tripoli,
Bosnia, Ronmelia, Roumania, Herze-
govina, Bulgaria and other Balkan
states.
After that it seems unnecessary to
mention that Turkey forbids code
messages, but it is little surprising
to find that you can send a message
to most parts of Persia In only one
language-that is French and If
you address most places in the land
of the shah your message will be
translated into the tongue of Gaul
and diplomacy when It reaches Tehe-
ran.

THE WOMEN WHO WORK.

Pendleton employs more women as
teachers. clerks, solicitors, collectors
and in other professional and COM
mercial lines than any other city in
the inland empire and she is proud of
them.
Every store in the city has its
large quota of women clerks. book
keepers, cashiers and seamstresses.
Every office has its office girl and
stenographer and in perhaps. 80 per
cent of the business houses Of the
city are to be found women or girls
regularly employed.
It gives a fine tone, high stand
ard to the business atmosphere to
have so many women engaged in ac-
tive work. There is an incentive to
refinement, good order and cheerful
ness in the presence Of women and
in no other place on earth has this
incentive been so far-reaching and
effective as in the business world.
Pendleton is proud of her girls
who work. 1t is an elevating, noble
thought to think, that in this advanc-
ed day and age there is a place for
woman in the active business and
professional circles of the world, after
so many centuries of bigotry and
prejudice and it is also good to know
that there are fine, superb women to
fill this place.

THE HALL OF FAME.

Wait not for Luck to draw the boil
Nor Chance give up her key
The door that opened for the great
Is open yet for thee.
Luck is a sleepy sentinel
And Chance a tickle light,
Many a man hath passed them both
And entered in the night.
Have little care if neither heed
Thy clamor, call or din.
Take up the magic torch and key
And let thine own self in,
-Aloysius Coll.

WHAT THE GAR COULD NOT DO,

The czar of Russia was visiting the
king of Denmark, and upon one OF
their drives around Copenhagen, the
king pointed out to the czar a certain
high tower.
"Now," said the czar, chow much
power have you over your subjects,
Could you command one of your
poorest subjects to climb to the top
of that tower and jump Off"
mo" said the king; but l coulo
go and sleep in that poor subjects
hut and be welcome guest" And
the czar was silent.-Pick- -Me-Up.

GRATING is UNPOPULAR.

Time was, not so very long ago,
when the people of the west sympa-
thlzed with land sharks who were
prosecuted by the government. and
one might hear people say; I'm so
sorry. He is such a nice man, and
1t seems too bad to make an example
of him when nearly everyone does the
same thing"
The public conscience however, is
awakening, and instead of the cul-
prits receiving sympathy men like
Heney are admired.-Spokane Chron-
icle.

ReDroacll,

Just look OF swift surprise.
Down in depths OF childish eyes,
But my soul to judgment came,
Covered, as before a flame.
Hid itself in dust OF shame;
Not a word, lisp Of blame,
Just look of swift surprise
In the quiet, uplifted eyes.

pomaaer Empress Dying.

Pekin, November 13.-10:30 p. MI
1t is reported that the Dowager En-
press is also dying.
This rumor, II true, would explain
the two edicts issued late this after
noon regarding a regency of the en-
pire.
The foreign residents of Pekin are
confused by the sudden developments of
today and the various reports and ru-
mors emanating from the palace. 1t is
absolutely impossible to obtain any
confirmation officially of the reported
death of the Emperor and the condi-
tion of the Dowager Empress. There
is a certain amount of suspicion In re-
gard to what is actually TRANSPORTING. 1t
is believed the government will untilize
the dying condition Of the Emperor If
he is not already dead to screen the
condition of the Dowager Empress.
The edcts of today bear the name OF
the Emperor Kuang Hsu, which indi-
Gates that he was still alive at the
