The third party" is laughed. Its
object is TO take the liquor fight out
of the hands of liquor men and pro-
cannot be devised under which law
and order will be maintained, the
moral welfare of the city protected
and the city given some revenue from
the liquor business that is carried on.
In hopes OF bringing about such a
condition an ordinance and a charter
amendment win be drafted under the
initiative and submitted to the peo-
pie at the coming city election. These
measures will provide for the close
regulation of the liquor business in
the event the business is ever legal
lied again by the votes of the people
of the county.
At the mass meeting held Saturday
evening II was decided by motion that
the chairman, Mayor Murphy, name
a committee OF five to draft such an
ordinance and such a charter amend
ment and to provide for placing the
measures before the people at the
coming election. This afternoon
Mayor Murphy designated as his
committee those men whose names
appear at the head of this column.
Meeting Web Attended.
The mass meeting was well attend
ed. the circuit court room being well
filled. Had the meeting been held
,f h.,
the attendance would doubtless have
been greater for the reason that many
business houses were open and the
store people could not attend.
At the outset of the meeting Mayor
Murphy, who had the chair announc-
ed that City Attorney ]. r. Raley
would outline the object of the gath
ering. This Mr. Raley did in a brief
manner. stating the well-known rea-
sons for the meeting.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Raley's
talk Judge James A. Fee asked If per-
mission would be given him to ask
questions and when assent was given !
made numerous inquiries as to the fl
nancial affairs of the city at the pres
cnt time and in the past Answers to /
his queries were given by Mayor Muir
ply.
Following Judge Fees interroga-
tons those in the audience were in
vited to express their opinions upon
the subject that was uppermost Am
ong those who spoke were Will M.
Peterson Jack Huston, C. j. Fergu
son, Col. j. II. Raley, e. b. Aldrich
and others Almost without exception
the speakers favored the policy of
q few rigidly regulated saloons, pay
ing high licenses, in preference to the
present blind pig" system. II was
the general trend OF the talk that the
number Of saloons should be limited
to about one per thousand population,
that great care should be exercised
Ia the granting of licenses and that
the strictest care should be taken to

Ordinance q Pledge.
The proposed ordinance was advo-
Gated as a pledge to the county that
in the event the liquor business Is
again legalized 1t will be conducted,
as far as Pendleton is concerned, up
on a proper basis. Judge Fee raised
the point that such an, ordinance
might be repealed following an cleo
tion. However the other speakers
held that after passing such an or
dinance expressly as a pledge the peo-
pie Of the city would never violate the
same in the event the county should
vote "wet" upon the strength of the
promise made.
The motion that a committee Of five
be named to draft the proposed meas
use was made by f. b. Aldrich. How
ever Mayor Murphy did not appoint
the committee at that time, taking
the matter under consideration until
this afternoon.
Some DisscnsiOn.
That the third party movement Is
not entirely satisfactory to prohibit
onists or to old time saloonmen was
made apparent during the evening.
Judge James A. Fee. who said how
ever that he had not voted for pro-
hibition because he was strict alb
stainer, declared his belief that up to
this time the prohibition law mas not
had a fair trial. Tom Means, who was
formerly in the saloon business in this
county protested against the attempt
to limit the number Of saloons in a
town.

A WORTHY PRIDE.

Are you proud?
You should be.
But you should be proud in the prop.
er way and of the proper things.
What is finer, for instance. than the
pride that scorns to do a mean act, the
pride thar will not stoop to conquer, or
the pride that will not crook the
pregnant hinges Of the knee that thrift
may follow fawning." or the pride
that will not permit kind act to go
unaccompanied by gratitude?
But there is also false pride.
There is the pride that fills the fool
ish with the desire to keep an estab-
lishment beyond his means. the pride
that leads 10 extravaganza in order to
keep up with his neighbors. the pride
that leads him to the enjoyment of
luXuries he cannot afford.
That sort OF pride "goeth before a
fall"
And there is the pride that makes
the unwiSe person ashamed of the hon.
est labor by which he makes his bread.
Such one is ashamed of the very
thing In which he ought to take the
greatest pride.
To work for ones living, to pay ones
debts. to live within ones income
what more worthy!
Did you ever know a man who was
truly self made who was ashamed Of
the fact: 1t is the last thing be cares
to conceal.
True pride is self respect-plus.
II you are rightly proud you will
live In a shack and subsist on beans
rather than be supported by charity.
IL you are justly proud you will pre-
fer the humhiest place rather than to
make II show at the expense Of your
creditors whom 1t would be necessary
for you To dudge.
If you are righteously proud you will
wear old garments many times cleaned
rather than affect rich raiment bought
with other peoples money.
What If some one does scorn your
plain clothing or humble home:
Scorn to be scorned by one whom scorn-

Is that a matter to cause regret?

He has his kingdom. besides prince

He bewai!s the tendency Of the
