NOT \ PARTISAN FIGHT.

In their desperation the forces back
of DR.. Swinburnes candidacy for may
or have resorted to the perilous ex-
pedient of swapping horses while in
midstream." They started out by as
serting that the campaign was to be
waged upon a moral issue" But
the utter hypocrisy of their position
was pointed out by the East Ore
gonian and so another horse, Parti-
sanship, has been brought into use.
But Partisanship is jaded old nag.
He has been ridden TO death. He has
been doped so much and used in so
many crooked races that his reputa-
ton is gone and he now has neither
spirit nor speed. The gas and cleo
tric company and the milling company
back of DR.. Swinburne's candidacy
can feed him and they can dope him
to their hearts desire and yet they
cannot win the race with such d
skate. 1t is not his race and he
won't run for the men who are now
currying him.
The mayorality contest is not a
partisan fight and it cannot be made
such. When the Swinburne hackers
appeal to republicans to support their
candidate because he is a republican
they offer an insult to the intelligence
of the republicans of this city.
Besides who are these men who
have taken it upon themselves to use
the name of the republican party in
this matter? Why did not the Trib-
une disclose their names so that the
people Of the city may. know who
they are and therefore know the mo-
tives back Of their scheme?
If the republicans Of this city do
right they will rise as one man and
tell these men, IL they can learn who
they are, that they have used the
name of the republican party in an
improper manner and without au-
thority. Honest men of all parties
should resent and resent hotly tht
attempt to drag partisan politics into
a municipal election. Especially is
this true when both mayorality can
didates are running as independents
and not as partisan candidates ant
when partisan issues have absolutely
no relation whatever to the issues in.

BJORNSON'S VIEW.

Biornson. the grand old man of
Norway, who. approaching his eigh-
tieth year, is making a gallant fight
for lie, gave out a noble sentiment
when he said to Paris reporter that
Il IS every mans duty 70 live as long
as possible, since his most useful
moment may be his last"
How infinitely superior such phi
losophy to the cynical jest attributed
to Dr. Osler, that man should be
chloroformed at so, or to the general
impression that a mans powers and
usefulness decline when he is barely
at middle age.
The noble view Of life Is the eX-
pectation of good that may be accom-
plished in life. And as no man may
truthfully say when his power for
good is at an end, so he is not justl-
fled in wishing away his life or los
ing interest in the affairs of life.
Bjornson's fourscore years have
been devoted to zeal for his country
and active interest in his country's s
welfare and the betterment of man
kind. And even now, waiting For the
PHYSICIANS 70 pIOllouIlSS SSi'1Sii~S 'P
on him, he has lost nothing of that
zeal and interest and desires to live
that he may see his hopes realized
and his labors crowned.
This is the sort of philosophy to
supersede the so-called Oslerism and
the theory of make way for youth

to be realized-San Francisco Evan

BLOCK THEIR MOVE.

At Walla Walla the city council
granted a franchise to the Washington
Oregon company. 1t was a sensible
thing to do for the people back Of the
new company are wealthy and re-
sponsible men and they are back of a
meritorious enterprise. But the may
or of Walla Walla, Influenced, so it
is charged by the forces of the North
western gas & electric company, We
toed the franchise and thereby drove
the rival company from its home city.
Do the people Of Pendleton want to
risk having that performance repeated
here. If they do not then they should
vote against the mayorality candidate
that was brought into the field and
is now supported by men who are
fighting this new electric company.

A CLEANCUT FIGHT.

In the present mayorality fight this
paper has taken a decided stand. Yet
IL has confined its utterances to the
legitimate issues of the campaign. 1t
has commented upon points that it
believed the people of the city should
be informed upon so that they may
vote with proper understanding of the
issues involved. The East Oregonian
has refrained from scurrility and from
mudslinging True this paper called
one fellow by a name that seemed to
fit him and his subsequent yelpings
indicate that he was correctly classi-
fled. It could call other people names
If II desired to do so and there are
many things that could be disclosed
that would not be pleasing to those
on the other side of the mayorality
fight. But we will not do so. We will
leave the gutter and the swill barrel
for those who like that sort of stuff.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-12-02
THEY WON'T BE DECEIVED.

In one breath the semi-weekly
pessimist, inspired by forces that may
be easily located, declares that the
matter of a rival electric company
and of a traction company Is not at
issue in the mayorality fight and in
the very next breath it gives the lie
to its previous utterances by attack
ing the washington-Oregon company
which is soeking entrance into Pen
dleton.
II this subject is not at issue here
why do the attorneys" and work
ers" that are promoting Swlnburne's
candidacy also knock this rival cleo
tric company at every opportunity.
WHY do they lie about that company,
misrepresent its objects and by every
conceivable means at their disposal
seek TO create a sentiment against it?
The proposition regarding a rival
electrical company is at issue in the
mayorality campaign in this way.
Upon one hand Mayor Murphy stands
for reelection as a. a.candidate who is
allied with no interests that will keep
him from doing his duty to the city.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-12-02

He is free to aid in bringing a rival
electric company to this city and he
has already used his position to that
end.
on the other hand Mayor Murphy's
opponent was brought into the race
by men who both openly and secretly
have been fighting the Washington
Oregon company and are doing it yet.
In league with these men in bringing
Or. Swinburne into the race and in
urging his candidacy are men who
represent a milling company with
which this city must fight if it secures
q better water supply.
1t is entirely natural that the men
representing the Northwestern gas &
electric company and the Byers mill
ing company should deny they are in
terested in the election. But it win
do them no good to deny the charges,
Their interest in the mayorality fight
is too apparent and the work that has
been done by those men and their
henchmen has been too plain. People
are not going to be deceivd in this
matter.

ENGLAND'S CRISIS.

Some English history was made
Tuesday when the house of lords re-
iected the budget for the first time in
500 years. What the full effect Of
that action will be the future must
tell. 1t is anticipated though that
the action will lead to increased hos
tility to the lords. 1t may result
in the abolition of the lords.
To a student of history it seems
plain the lords have blundered. The
house of lords has been tolerated in
England because its power has been
nominal not real Had the king or the
house of lords really tried to govern
England there would have been a rev.
olution years ago.
Now that the lords, in spite of ad-
vice to the contrary from their best
leaders, have rejected the budget it
seems they have entered upon a course
that will mean their own undoing.
The budget provides for reforms for
which England is now ripe and must
have. These reforms are in the in
terest of the common people of Eng
land. They look to more equitable
distribution of wealth. BY opposing
these measures the lords are trying

progress of England and the conse-
quence promises to 5e serious TO the

stipulation is that the winner shall

The idea is very popular with the cit

to sc an exhibition of Alkalis skill
with a six shooter.
The fight. if held ahere, must be
pulled off by daylight as the spec
