HUXURIES IN COLLEGE,,

: AT this very time, when the drift
of American life toward luxury is
harmful-and when the college is
precisely the one typical institution
that should insist upon bringing high
minded boys together upon common
grounds of wholesome simplicity and
democratic brotherhood. the colleges
are allowing themselves to be invad-
ed by aggregations of social clubs and
luxurious cliques which make the
youth of twenty an experienced club
man, accustomed to touch the bell for
the lackey who brushes his coat or
brings him his cocktail. All academ-
ic leaders who are not hopelessly
blinded, understand how life in a Sc
ries of fraternity houses or social
clubs fringing a college campus may
initiate against the best purposes for
which American boys are supposed
to be sent to college.
And these college leaders would be
glad if reform could be made. But
the lack of the power to face and de-
stroy these abuses that to so great
an extent are harming college life.
1t is ridiculous that great univer-
sity should be dominated not by its
authoritative officers and those who
make is scholarly and intellectual
fame but by undergraduate sentiment
in harmful and even vicious phases.
The abuses of fraternity and society
systems at some institutions are so
glaring that they are evident to all
observers. The exclusive groups.
while sometimes harmful to their
own members are often cruel in the
pain they inflict upon those who feel
themselves shut out. In some OF our
colleges so keen is the feeling in un-
dergraduate circles that to be left out
Of certain privileged organizations is
to have the whole college period pois-
oned in its memories.-From college

Shaw, in the American Review of Re

tried to steal the name of the repub-
hcan party and use it in behalf OF
their candidate. In the private office
of a shyster attorney who. has been
conspicuous as a tool for the local
electric company the meeting was
held. 1t was not a republican meet
ing at all. Representative republ-
cans like Judge Fee and host of
others who are openly for Mayor
Murphy, were not invited and did not
know of the meeting,
1t was an Anti-Improvement caucus.
The bunch that was in control was
composed of the same men who a
year ago took sides with the North,
western gas K electric company IN
trying to keep rival company from
getting a franchise in Pendleton and
who are now working against the pro
posed traction company. Those men
are not trying to forward the inter-
cSts of any political party. They have
another axe to grind.
The republican party in Pendleton
does not stand for pessimism and for
driving away the forces that seek 10
build up this city. The attempt to
place the party in such a position was
a fraud and an outrage. It was piece
OF chicanery which decent republicans
uay very properly denounce in the
strongest of terms. Scores of honest
broadminded republicans are already
doing this and they are doing right.
Ii they want to uphold the good name
of the republican party in Pendleton
and insure for it the respect of honest
and progressive men they will squelch
this attempt to place the party label
upon a package where it does not be-
long

WHERE DANGER LIES.

How does the mayOrality fight af-
feet the proposition of a traction COM
tpany for this city?" is a question that
lis occasionally asked by men who
have not followed the progress of
events closely.
The question Of the mayorality is of
vast Importance from traction COM
pany standpoint. The Washington
Oregon company says it is going to
comply with its franchise by building
three miles of track here within the
next four months. 1t will 40 far
more than that if Pendleton people
give them some support.
Now supposing this company should
be at work in good faith building q
traction line. yet through some un-
fOreseen delay II should be impossible
for them to comply with the letter of
their contract Suppose for instance
that the cars they had ordered should
/ ne delayed ut lut ldCloIN ana SIlOult
iarrive in Pendleton month behind
time. Would the people of Pendle-
ton want to see the Washington-Ore-
gon company kicked out of Pendle-
ton? Certainly they would not. Then
they should be careful who they place
in the mayors chair. If they elect a
mayor who is surrounded by and
Influenced by men who are hostile to
the new electric company and to the
traction line they will be taking
lchances. Walla Walla suffered through
having just such a mayor as that and
Pendleton should profit by Walla
Walla's experience.
What this city needs is a mayor
who is allied with no particular in
lterest but who is free to do his dut!
by the people of Pendletvn. Mayor
Murphy is such a man.

UNSAFE ADVISERS.

Judge Lowell and DR.. w. G. Cole
have Joined in a letter advocating DR..
Swinburne's election. The East Ore
gonian published their letter but it de-
clines to accept the advice of either
Of these men. For some reason Judge
Lowell has been an opponent of the
proposed traction company since 1t
first appeared. Why he has taken
such a stand this paper does not know
and it wont try to say. But it does
know that he is assisting in blocking
the progress of this city and that he
has many friends who do not like to
see him in his present role.
AS for DR.. Cole it might be timely
II recall that the chief act of that gen.
tleman while a member of the state
senate was to betray the Eastern Ore
gon normal school, an institution To-
Gated in his own county and which ne
was in duty and in honor bound to
support If the people of Pendleton
want to follow the lead of such men
as he, very well. The East Oregonian
will have none Of it. This paper pre-
fers to travel with the men who are
out to. develop and to build up this
city and this county. 1t does not want
advice from men who scuttle our in
stitutions of learning and seek to
drive new capital from our borders.

in Great Britain has increased the
pay of those employed in that seryce
for about 40 per cent of the working
hour.
The Consul-General says in his re-
port that the British government has
under consideration a bill which would
give to the Board of Trade power to
establish minimum, rate of wages in
certain employments.
The Introduction into English law
of the principle of the minimum wage
Is perhaps a more farreaching and
revolutionary proposition than any
thing contained in the much-debated
budget which has just passed the
House of Commons.
But it is principle that stands in
the natural line of promotion.-San

WAGES IN GREAT BRITAIN.

Our Corsu'-General at London, Mr.
Griffeths, reports that there is ten
dency in Great Britain toward a gen
eral decline in wages.
His figures show, in particular, for
the latter part of last year and the
beginning of this, that more than hall
million workers lost ground. while
something more than hundred thous-
ana had their pay increased.
The fact that half those who have
made a gain in wages are public en-
pioyees, in the service of the general
government or the municipalities
should have an important bearing on
the question OF public ownership.

FOR PENDLEToN's PROGRESS.

Pendleton men are divided into two
classes In one class we have the
men who are progressive and optimis-
tic and who are out to do what they
can for the town. In the other class
are to be found the pessimists, the
knockers-the men who don't want
the town to grow because # it grows
they won't be able to control it and
there will then be competition in their
lines of business.
1t is no accident either that in the
mayorality fight the lines are drawn
very accurately as outlined above.
Behind the candidacy of Mayor Muir
phy stand most of the active. aggres-
sive, enthusiastic men of the city.
They are the men who rebuilt the
Pendleton wooden mill, they are the
men who caused the streets of this
city to be paved, they are the men
who want a better water system, they
are the men who are now active in
supporting the new electrical company
that promises to establish a traction
system with this city as the base OF
operation.
On the other hand look at the men
who are chief hackers Of Mayor Muir
phys opponent. What have they done
in recent years for the material ad-
vancement of this city? What did
they do for the wooden mill? The
Byers company is the richest concern
in the city. How much did it give
to the woolen mill fund? Not red
cent. All that concern did for the
wooden mill was to charge Bishop
brothers a high price for the woolen
mill site and forbid them to take wat
er from the mill race.
What did the Northwestern gas &
electric company do to promote the
-woolen mill? Its manager argued the
futility of the move and threw cold
water on the enthusiasts. For time
the chief obstacle in the path Of the
wcolen mill was the fear the company
could not secure a power rate that
would permit Of the mills re-estab-
lishment.
other men who are now strong In
backing DR.. Swinburne were likewise
in the Knockers club when the woolen
mill movement was underway. This
paper knows because it worked and
fought for the wooden mill from start
to finish. The East Oregonian re-
members the scoffers and the pessim-
lists who were either openly against
the movement or else refused to do
a thing or to give cent. 1t did not
like them then and It does not like
them now-because they are scoffers
and pessimists. The East Oregonian
prefers to train with the other crowd
with the active, vigorous and en-
thusiastic men who want to make a
CITY out Of Pendleton. The East Ore
gcnian stands above everything else
for the advancement Of this city and
in the mayorality race It is supporting
Mayor Murphy because It knows that
he stands for the progress Of PEN
dleton.
