WHICH is PREFERABLE?

General Frederick Dent Grant, son
Of the illustrious civil war leader, has
been criticised because he served as
grand marshal at a temperance parade
IN Chicago 1t is said he should not
have appeared in uniform on such an
occasion for the reason that prohibi-
ton is a question that is at issue in
many sections of the country.
But If by his presence in the parade
General Grant desired to show his ad-
vocacy Of temperance and incidentally
to set an example for the men Of the
army he did well. Temperance is
a splendid thing and cannot be en-
couraged too strongly Drunkenness is
wrong. It often brings terrible re-
suits and It should be tabooed az
closely as possible. There should be
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-10-02
IT SHOULD BE BUILT.

There are so many reasons why an
up to date factory should be estab-
lished here for the manufacture of the
Reynolds side hill combine that it is
difficult to understand how the move
ment can fail for lack of financial
backing.
1t is pointed out by Messrs May
and Jack, of the present iron works
company, that farmers would have
much TO gain by the existence here of
the factory and of a plant that would
be able to do "all kinds of iron work" r"
With such a plant in this city farmers
would be saved many vexing delays
during the threshing season and like
wise considerable expense.
But the farmers would gain most
through the fact that they would be
able to buy their combine threshers
right at home and made to their or
der. They would be able to get a
thresher with all the most improved
devices. made to stand the work and
wear involved in threshing the rolling
hills Of eastern Oregon. They would
be Independent of the harvester trust
a gigantic monopoly that shows its
friendship for the American farmer
by charging him more for machinery
than it does the farmers of South Am
erica, Europe, Asia and Africa.
From a Pendleton standpoint the
thresher factory would be beneficial
too. The factory would give employ
ment to many skilled men and so
would aid every property owner and
every business house within the city.
It would be fine thing for Pendleton
to have the present iron works con-
verted into a good up-to-date plant,
with concrete buildings and so located
as to provide ample room for turning
out a large number Of machines each
year.
In backing the Reynolds thresher
factory the farmers of this county and
the people Of Pendleton should join
hands. It is a common cause and to
win out united action will be neces-
sary

no drunkenness in the army because
the United States wants men who will
be prepared to fight in time of need.
1, does not want an army of inebri-
ates.
But right here 1t is interesting to
note that army officers, men who
have had practical experience in the
handling of enlisted men for years,
are almost unanimous in favor of the
canteen system. Under this system
beer is sold at army posts and the pro-
fits from the business go to the men.
The beer is sold under certain regu>
lations that prevent drunkenness or
debauchery.
\ Needless to say when the canteen
system is in use the men stay at the
posts better, they squander less mon
ey and their physical welfare is pro-
NOTED. When they do not have cam
teens at posts the men patronize the
numerous dives that always spring up
in the vicinity o., ,garrisons. The OPP
orators of these joints go on the theory
that the sooner they get the soldiers
drunk and separate them from their
money the better
Now the canteen system stands for
the close regulation of the liquor bus
mess, as far as soldiers are concerned
and tends to promote temperance. The
men who advocate the canteen system
do so because they know that soldiers
are men. rough and hardy fellows,
who often have to undergo hardships,
and that at times they are going to in
dulge themselves. 1t is a question as
to whether they will drink in civil
lized manner, under the eyes of their
officers, or will chase off and become
moral savages.
To an extent the same problem is
presented in this county. Umatilla
county has many transient men, sheep
herders "cowpunchers" and harvest
hands. These men do hard, rough
work, in the heat of summer and the
cold of winter. When they take a
holiday they follow the dictates of hu-
man nature and to an extent at least
let off their pent up spirits.
The question here is this; would it
be better to have these men drink in
licensed closely regulated saloons
where everything is open and above
board and where the owner is in dan
ger of losing thousands of dollars if
he does anything wrong, or is it bet
ter to let him patronize blind pigs"
and "bootlegging" haunts that are be-
yond the law, or else go to Walla Wal
Ii and patronize the dives of that
town?
"It is a condition and not a theory
that confronts us"

MIGNONETTE.

The sweetest flower that in the gar
den grows
Is not the rose;
Nor yet the lily. throned upon the
green
Like some proud queen.
The tulip gray has scarce scent at
all,
Nor do l call
The morning glory climbing in the
bower
A fragrant flower.
But 1 can find a plant you'd scarcely
So modestly
Il clings to earth; because of its per-
fume rare,
Sweetens the air
And guides me to the place its blooms
have found
Close to the ground.
It's small and plain and bears no shin
ing head
Above it's bed,
Humblest of blossoms, full of frag-
rance yet,
'Tis mignonette!
A lesson from the little plant, I find,
Comes to my mind,
'Tis better far to be to those I meet
Just good and sweet
Than loud and bold and gray Don't
you agree
To this, with me?

In the state campaign now on in
Maryland, the amendment to the
constitution to disfranchise colored
voters is the issue that is attracting
most notice. The outcome of the
content is regarded as important not
alone for the effect on the political
situation in Maryland. but for its
bearing on the general question Of
disfranchisement of the colored voter.
If Maryland fails to adopt the dis
franchisement plan, it will be taken
as an encouraging sign by colored
voters in states farther south.

WILL SAVE FRUITS
FROM THE FROSTS

The steady rains and the ther-
mometer between 80 and 40 above
zero, 1t Is claimed, is ideal weather
for fruit, as it holds the buds back
and keeps them in condition to resist
late frosts. If these conditions In
sure a large fruit yield, then this
part of the Rogue River Valley can
be depended upon for a bumper
crop this season. 1t has been very
cold right along for this section
though the mercury has at no time
indicated more than % above. The
drenching rains have also been OF
great service to the fuit trees as IL
has helped to clean the scale and
other diseases from them. The big
rains will also be of great service to
this seasons planting OF fruit trees;
so taken altogether what has been
hard for us to bear this winter will
bring us handsome compensation In
the way of large fruit yield, In the
valley as well as on the higher lands.
