lost foch of sheep. And naturally needing
some one else to put the blame on, he falls
afoul of roller chair invalid and assaults
him,-with all the courage of Mr.. Wrinkle at
lacking the small boy.
Suppose that Clark Howell had not begun
to nag Governor Smith about port rates, In
February of this year! Suppose the Consti-
tuition had just gone along, laying low and
saying nothing,-would the Governor ever
have remembered his campaign pledges con-
corning port rates! Apparently not. For
nearly two years, he had had every opportu-
nifty to stir that port rate matter For nearly
two years, he had been silent about it.
There was never a work-day, after August,
1907, that he could not have begun to redeem
his pledge for the immediate reduction" OF
port rates
Why did he do nothing, and say nothing in
August September October, November and
December, 1907? His platform pledged him
to Immediate" action. The Railroad Com
mission was to Immediately" go to work on
the investigation and reduction of seaport
rates Why did it not do SO? Wig did the
Governor faI and refuse to ask 1t TO do so?
The whole of 1908 passed, without single
word or a single effort on the subject of that
platform pledge. Why?
Then in February, 1909, the Governor
writes to the Commission about it. Why!
Because Clark Howell was jabbing at him
about it, every day, in the Constitution.
The letter was written, and was referred to
the Governors two friends on the Commits
sion, Gambler and Hillyer and these gentle
men apparently pigeon-holed the letter, for
they made no report on the subject Why!
Seemingly, because the letter called for gen.
era1 reduction of rates.
Thus, in April, comes the hearing in behalf
of the Atlanta jobbers, and the decision
against their request for special f0v0rS,-
which decision was similar to those made by
former Commissions.
Then the Governor picks out one of the
three Commissioners who had decided against
the Atlanta jobbers, and suspends him from
office because Of that decision.
Then the Ex-Governor takes charge of the
prosecution of McLendon, pursues him with
relentless virulence In his newspaper, and has
him dismissed by the Senate for negotiating
the sale Of the Atben8 Street Raiza0ay 6onds
The indictment against McLendon charged
him with a violation of the platform pledge
2oh5cb Governor Smith himself had been viO-
Jati1g every a00rhday Of the period 6eta0ee1o
Augtst, 1907 and February, 19O9-for the
platform which he prepared pledged him to
immediate action.
The verdict against McLendon does not fol-
low the Indictment at all. It is based upon a
different matter altogether, to-wit: the sale of
the bonds.
Does anyone pretend that the transaction
in bonds had the remotest connection with the
decision against the Atlanta jobbers? No.
Is it claimed that there is any law against the
negotiation of the sale of the bonds? No.
Does anybody believe that Guyt. McLendon
is not as honest a gentleman as we have in
this State, and that a reprimand, "a censure
because the improperly of dabbling in bond

FARMER OWNS AND
OPERATES LINOTYPE

Otto Didion, well-known in Pen
dleton, has received the following no
tice from the Walla Walla Union:
The average city man is alway
surprised to see how progressive tn,
! farmers of the west are and express
great surprise when they see then
whisk their families probably IS mile.

tainment but most any old person
would receive a severe jolt, IL upon
! riding past a little house on the road
side, possibly mile to the next house
they were to hear the click of a limo
type machine.
Otto Didion, who farms ten acres
of ground a few miles this side of
Milton on the interurban is probably
the only farmer in the United States
that owns and operates type-setting
machine. Although he purchased the
$4,000 machine to while away his idle
hours, he has turned them to highly
profitable ones and now sets all the
matter for the various papers in his
neck of the woods.
Mr.. Didion is the owner of ten
acres of choice land in Umatilla
county but has for a hobby the ma
nipulating of a linotype machine. In
spare hours he sets type for both the
Milton Eagle and the Freewa1er
Times, and also does job work for
some of the Pendleton papers. Though
the owner of nice tract of land with
all of the modern improvements. he
has chosen to while away slack hours
in this manner and in little building
constructed for the purpose he can
be seen at all hours, hammering away
at the keys of the typesetter. A $4,-
90 machine is an oddity in the section
where he lives and neighbors have
yet to get accustomed to the clicking
slugs mingling with the morning call
of the speckled dominicker. The ma
chinery is operated by electricity fur
nished by the Northwestern Gas G.
Electric company and the residence
of Mr.. Didion is lighted by this same
means. The house is a modern con-
crete affair and is thoroughly up-to-
date.
Because it appears on the surface
that the operator does not need to
run the machine in order to make
daily bread, residents of that neigh
borhood are hard people to convince
that something is not amiss, but
though still dubious, it is expected
that it will be but matter of time
until they accept both the machine
and the owner as a matter of course.
In the meantime, the news that Mil
tonites and Freewaterites read week
ly continues to come from the limo
type of Otto Didion.
