THE IMPERIAL CITY.

At this time Pendleton is being
badly knocked" Some people who
have left here, often to the city's good,
declare the place is dead. In Idaho
both side of the prohibition fight have
misrepresented conditions in this place
to Pendleton's discredit. But in spite
OF all this Pendleton is still the live
liest. most bustling town of its size
in the northwest. In spite of two sue
cessive dry seasons, in spite of "bonan-
"a farming and in spite of prohibi-
tion Pendleton is still the Imperial
City of Eastern Oregon and such it is
going TO remain. Daily the streets of
the city are crowded with busy towns
men and with prosperous farmers who
are only too wealthy. The resources
of Pendleton are varied and they are
far greater than those of any other
eastern Oregon town. In geograph-
ical sense Pendleton is the most favor
ably located town in the state save
Portland. 1t has more branch rail-
way lines and more trains daily than
any town in the state except Port
land. Pendleton is the center OF a
mighty territory that is just starting
upon an area of development When
water has been placed on all the arid
and semi-arid land tributary to Pen
dleton and when the other resources
have been developed Pendleton will
go forward with swifter strides than
it has ever shown in the past.
Let the knockers" have their day.
This is their time to talk, for it must
be admitted that Pendleton is in the
valley of Tribulation. But it is go
ing straight on in spite of its diff
culties and 1t will never quit. Pen
dleton will be out upon the broad
plain of prosperity and progress when
some of it's rivals are just entering the
canyon. Wait and see.

DIRECT NOMINATIONS.
(seattle Post-Intelllgencer.) }

(Seattle POSt-lntelllgencer)
AssembIymah Robert j. Conklin, of
New York city, rises to remark that
direct party nominations of candi-
dates for public office is the great
est gold brick that was ever handed
to a confiding people" 1t is the voice
of Flambeau at Wagram, where the
old guard must make his last stand.
But the shrek is Unavaling.
When Mr.. Conklin says direct NOM
nations have resulted in a condition
Of political anarchy" in certain mid
die western states, and that party
lines have been wiped out, he makes
statement which will not square
with the facts. The states referred
to by him, notably Kansas and Wis
consin are Overwhelmingly republi-
can, and there has been nothing to
suggest the existence of political an
archy" in either state.
Enemies of the direct primary prin-
ciple will not convince the American
people that it destroys party organ
ization. 1t does no such thing. 1t
destroys corrupt party machines, and
it ought to destroy them. Primary
laws really legalize parties. They
give parties clearly defined legal
status. They make them responsible
and answerable to the law, and, by
so much, parties are made cleaner
and stronger The primary is puri-
fier of politics. 1t eliminates the
trickster and the trimmer, puts an
end to corrupt political trading, and
renders impossible the combinations
and cabals which for SD many years
disgraced American politics and out
ragged the American people.
Instead of following Mr.. Conklin,
the people Of New York should fol-
low Governor Hughes in this matter,
for he has outlined one of the most
progressive systems of direct party
nomination yet devised.

formed regarding a.violation of the
liquor law and refuses to arrest and
prosecute the offender and the fact is
proven the official loses office. Sc
the law is enforced very rlgidly and
Iowa is at peace.
Now why not initiate bill provid-
ing such law as this and submit IT
to the voters of oregon next fall. If
such a bill is drafted in good faith
and the people Of the state can be
persuaded that it will be inforced
honestly and vigorously they will ad-
opt K.
At this time tho East oregonian de-
s.res to proclaim Itself member of
the third party" 1t does not belong
to either of the present parties to The
liquor fight. 1t is not saloon pa
per" for it dislikes the saloon busl-
ness as it is conducted and it does not
nor never has cared for the friendship
or support of saloonmen. 1t is not a
prohibitionist for while it sympathizes
with the prohibitionists in their de-
sire to improve conditions it thinks
their plan unwise and impractical
II believes that safer and more prac-
tical plan for the attainment of the
desired end is to be found in the ad-
option of a law similar to the one now
in use in Iowa.
If the people are not allowed to vote
upon a bill embodying the features of
the Iowa law or other features equally
as drastic Oregon will probably go
dry" The liquor business will then
be carried on illegally and surrepti-
tiously through "blind pigs" by
"bootleggers" and by outside liquor
houses who will sell liquor direct to
Oregon homes, as is now being done
in this county. Under such a situ-
alton the towns of the state will suffer
the evils that result from the use of
liquor but they will not have the hold
upon the business that they may OBJ
tain under a rigid regulation" law,
nor will they obtain any revenue in
the form of licenses.
