UNJUST TO PENDLETON.

Saloonmen are going too far in this
matter of libelling Pendleton in hopes
OF making some votes in behalf of the
dives of walla Walla. Listen to this
81 have felt the pulse, listened to the
heart beats and taken the tempera-
ture of its people (of Pendleton). Her
streets that once were scenes of me-
tropolitan activity today are seemingly
deserted. In fact words are inadequate
to describe conditions in Pendle-
lton. -" No wonder the Com
mercial club has taken drastic action
to prevent conditions from reaching
the outside world"
This is a sample of the foul and
slandrous dope that is being handed
out by the saloon forces at Walla
walla- These statements appeared in
a full page advertisement published
in the Bulletin Sunday morning. They
were in a communication from an
alleged correspondent in this city.
Whoever the fellow is he is a cow
ard or he would sign his name. He
is a slanderer for many of the things
he said are grossly untrue and they
injure Pendleton unjustly.
Pendleton's streets are not desert
Ell. Right now Pendleton has as many
or more people to the business block
than has Walla Walla despite the 81
dives of that town. The bank de-
capita than those of Walla Walla
The business of the local post office
shows no loss in population since the
town went dry. Nor does the school
attendance. Business in Pendleton is
good regardless of prohibition and re-
gardless Of the fact that this county
has just gone through two years of
drouth. The Pendleton Commercial
club has taken no steps to prevent
the truth being made known regarding
Pendleton. That association wants
the outside world to know the full
truth about this city.
This is not intended as an argu-
ment upon the liquor question. 1t is
a refutation of the unjust statements
that saloonmen and divekeepers are
circulating about this city. The East
Oregonian has discussed the liquor
question in the past and discussed 1t
with fearlessness and candor. 1t will
do so again IL the occasion demands.
Right here it will say for the benefit
O. walla wallans who have been
treated to many quotations from this
paper during the past two weeks, that
while the East Oregonian does not
like either wide open saloons or pro-
hibition, II regards prohibition as in
finitely better than the former. The
editor of the East Oregonian voted
for prohibition in order to help rid
this city Of It's old time dives.
walla Walla can do as IT pleases re-
garding the saloon question. But the
good people of that town should moi
be deceived by the falsehoods that sa'
loonmen have perpetrated with re-
spects 10 Pendleton.

HEAVEN.
>clination.-

what do you think that heaven may
be?"
The hearer answered with n smile:
"A place where folks like you and
me
May hear sweet music all the
while,
Where roses bloom and birds will
sing
And silver streams plssn in the
shade,
With naught but joy in everything
OF these. | know, is heaven made
What do you think that heaven may
be?"
The mother answered.: otis a land
Where all mine own may be with me
And there, too, l may understand
The longings of the little hearts
And find my happiness complete
In soothing with a mothers arts
The weary little hands and feet"
What do you think that heaven may
be?"
The old man answered with sigh:
"a cot beneath a spreading tree
That towers ever green and high,
And never weariness nor strife
But Just a comfort calm and blest
Such as we may not have in life
\ folding of the hands in rest
What. do you think that heaven may
be?
Why, it would be of little worth
Were It not given to us to see
Some promise of it here on earth
Ii through the moments and the year.
We could not bring its radiant glow
To light our smiles and dry the tears
OF the weary folks we know.

THE LAND OF LONG AGO.

There's a country, sweet with summer,
where the deathless lilies blow
The beautiful glad country where you
loved me, long ago.
The cloudless sky above it--what sor-
row could ! know
In that beautiful, glad country where
you loved me. long ago?
The song of birds-the echo of Love-
enchanted streams;
The thornless pathways leading to
valley sweet with dreams;
Life set to heavens music-the angels
willed it so.
In that beautiful, glad country where
you loved me, long ago!
Have the years brought ears, my
darling? Do you see the far
. off skies
But dimly through the shadow of the
rain around the eyes?
Do you listen for lost voice--for a
step You used to know,
In that beautiful glad country where
you loved me, long ago?
Come close-the shadows gather; fast
falls the binding night,
And the mists have hidden heaven
and the stars have lost then
light
Come close. and Love shall lead u:
to the only home we know,
1T that beautiful, glad country where
you loved me, long ago!
