Lee county are acquainted with the
facts in this city 1t will be remem-
bered that when the Commercial bank
closed, John Menu as county treasurer,
had $9,943S9 on deposit, the same be-
ing county money. For years previous
to that all county treasurers had been
accustomed to deposit money in this
bank.
After the bank failure, the board of
supervisors held Mr.. Menu responsible
for this money, for from a legal stand
point they had no right or reason for
doing any other way.
Honest John Menu, undoubtedly
grieved himself to death over this
matter. 1t is well known fact that
Mr.. Menu began to fail rapidly in
health from that time on and his death
can unquestionably be traced to this
unfortunate affair, the matter Worry

Some excellent work was done by
friends OF the Menu family in getting

through the turmoil of the last day of

Cut To On. Dollar

The Lincoln Daily state journal
wants a few thousand new trial sub.
seribers and has cut its prices from
now to JAM. 1910 to only 81, or daily
and Sunday both. S1.25. This is a
specially low price for such a news
paper and will result in a big bus
mess. The Journal stops when the
time is out so that people need not
be afraid TO take one of these spec
ial offers. Its not n trick to get you
started. The Journal has greatly en-
larged and improved each veal and
has been having a wonderful growth
in its readers. Being the paper of
our state capital it is especially the
paper for Nebraskans to read, and
it has an especially clean lot of read
ers because the paper itself Is clean,
having cut out all liquor and object
ionable medical advertising. The
Journal is thoroughly independent, and
has been making a determined fight
to have our representatives at Wash
ington do something to lower the
cost of living.
II you want to read not only all of
the news of the world, but a practi-
cal, helpful newspaper, working in
the interests of the masses of Nebras-
kans try The Lincoln Journal until
January 1, 1910 at this cut price.

YOUNG MEMS CLUB.

1t is now assured that Pendletor
will have a young mems club, ope-
rated to an extent under the wing OF
the Commercial association, yet fl
nancially self sustaining. Such a
club has long been desired by many
people of the city, and when estab-
l!shed it should be able to accom-
plish much good.
Students and other young men
who have not yet taken up the active
work Of life, deserve looking after.
To a large extent they are to be the
future citizens of the town and the
class of citizens they will make de-
pends much upon their present en-
vironments.
Being human beings, students like
to meet and mingle during their leis-
ure hours. In the past the local ci-
gar stores have been used for this
purpose. But it is charged on ap-
parently good grounds that some of
the cigar stores at least are not prop
er places for students to congregate.
So the young mems club is being
formed for the purpose of providing
a more suitable place for them to
gather.
In view of the auspices under
which the young mems association is
being formed, the success of the
movement is certain. The club will
be beneficial to the young men. 1t
will be a credit to the city and will
still further strengthen Pendleton's
position as an educational town.

FINE WORK.

Last nights meeting Of the Com,
mercial association was most salts
factory one. The long drawn out is
sue regarding changing quarters was
settled and settled according to the
will Of the majority. The association
stays where it is and it will encourage
the maintenance of the gymnasium
and the organization of a junior as
sociation for students.
Now that the question of location
has been definitely decided the plans
for rejuvenating the quarters may be
carried out. A substantial sum for
this purpose has already been raised.
But much more is needed if the rooms
are to be put in proper condition
They should be completely remodeled
and well furnished, so as to be in
keeping with the general importance
of this city. The Commercial club
Is the towns Sitting room.
Another gratifying feature of last
nights meeting was the report of Col.
McNaught regarding the campaign
for money for the publicity bureau
His report shows that Hermiston is
preparing to do its full share towards
supporting the bureau. other towns
will doubtless do the same and the
publicity work may be carried on
upon a greater scale than in the past
If all goes we'll and the work that
has been we'll started is completed
Pendleton will soon have fine COM
mercial club with a strong county
publicity bureau in connection. The
combined organizations will be able
to do powerful work for the advance
ment Of Umatilla county, of Pendle-
ton and of every other town within
the county.

BURBANK'S WISE STAND.

Luther Burbank, the great horti-
cultura! genius, has declined to give
to a corporation a monopoly Of his
past and future discoveries in the
world of science. In speaking upon
the subject the San Francisco Star
praises his stand and suggests that
the United States government should
lend him assistance in his expert
ments.
Such man is worth presidents s
salary, and in addition to that he
should have, at public expense, all the
assistants supplies and material that
he may need, says the Star. Doubt
less there are some young but un-
known Burbanks somewhere in this
country, and they should be discov-
cred and given every opportunity to
develop. To permit waste or arrest
ed development Of that kind Of brain
and energy is a waste Of natural re-
sources.
Some day when we become civil
lied, we will have an educational
system under which the people,
through their Government, will search
for genius with the same care that
genius searches for truth, and will
see to It that the discovered genius
has free play in its own direction.
And when We do that, we will be
putting into operation the plan sug-
gested by Thomas Jefferson more
than century ago. when he outlined
a system Of public education for vir-
ginia.

The Eorelopers.

The gull shall whistle In his wake, the
the blind wave break in fire,
He shall fulfill Gods utmost will, un-
knowing His desire:
And he shall see old planets pass, and
alien stars arise,
And give the gale his reckless sail in
shadow of new skies,
Strong lust of gear shall drive rim out
end hunger arm his hand
To wiring his food from a desert nude,
his foothold from the sand
His neighbors' smoke shall vex his
eyes, their voices break his
rest,
He shall go forth till South and North
sullen and dispossessed;
And he shall desire lonliness, and his
desire shall bring
Hard on his heels a thousand wheels,
a people and a king;
And he shall come back in his own
track, and by his scarce cool
camp,
There shall he meet the roaring street
the derrick, and the stamp;
For he must blaze a nations way with
hatchet and with brand,
Till on his last won wilderness an EN-
pide's bulwark stand.

II. Bingham. The complete munich
pal ownership ticket was elected by a
heavy majority and water. board
was created. The result means that
the city viii proceed with the con-
struction of power plant of its own,
the same to cost $4,000.
The fight at Eugene was an inter-
esting one for many reasons, 1t waA
straight out fight between the mu-
nicipal ownership forces on one side
and conservatives on the other,
with the Willamette valley company
as the chief backer for the last nam
ed faction. Politics was laid aside en-
tirely. Senator Bingham. the defeat
ed candidate, is a prominent and
popular republican leader, while May
or Matlock is a democrat. During the
campaign the Eugene Guard. one of
the strongest papers of western Ore
gon, fought ably for the municipal
ownership ticket, while the Register,
the morning paper upheld the other
side.
The result of the Eugene election
shows that the people of that pro
gressive city want good water and
electrical service and that they be-
lieve the city can provide those things
better than can any corporation. For
years the Willamette valley company
had controlled both the water sys-
TEN and the electrical system. The
arrangement was not satisfactory. So
the city has broken away from the
company and has taken matters into
its own hands. 1t is an advanced
step, yet one that should be entirely
safe. The principle of municipal
ownership of utilities is sound.

KIpLING's LOST POEM.

THE Foreloper" is one of Kip
ling's poems that has appeared In no
edition OF his works. 1t was first
printed in a paper in India, on which
ne worked before he achieved any
fame. Several months ago Kiplins
was asked about "The Foreloper" by
an American who had heard part of
the poem quoted in a speech. He re-
piled that he had written such a
poem; that 1t had been printed some
place, but that he had no copy of ii.
This set the inquirer on search for
It. and it was finally found in the
scrap book Of an American admirer
of Kipling. The complete poem fol-
