Grecian officials. John had a bunch
that perhaps he was to be commission,

folio in the government of Greece.
But he was destined to receive n
severe bump. The government official
who had summoned him took about one
minute to tell him thats he owed his
fatherland fourteen months army SER

John protested, claimed that he was
citizen of the United States and as
such owed nobody any military ser.

John Detor went about TWO months ago
for a vacation and visit to his old
home. John is now carrying on his
shoulder a big, heavy musket, while
about his knees flap the skirts that
form part of the uniform of the
Grecian army.
John is soldier not from choice but
from stern necessity and the force of
circumstances over which he has no
control. He doesn It want to be a sol
der; he would rather be manager of
the Union Grill. But he can't help
himself, and unless the government Of
the United States goes to his assist

teen months to stand at attention,
shoulder arms when commanded, and
salute the officers of the Grecian army
when they stride by.
As matter of fact, John Detor is
soldier because the officials of the
government of King George laughed
defiance at the United States and
snapped their fingers in the face of
Uncle Sam. They made John soldier
in spite of international laws and Gus
toms and the numerous decisions of
courts. John is in the position of the
man in Jail whose lawyer told him he
couldn t be arrested. The government
of Greece can't make John become a
soldier-but it has.
John Detor left Honolulu about two
months ago to visit Greece, his native

he has been naturalized and is now n

AN ELECTRIC PLANT.

Assessor Strains proposal that the
city establish an electric plant in con-
nectlon with a gravity water supply
is timely and is worthy of very seri-
Gus consideration. A complete, un-
biased investigation of the proposition
should be made for it may be Mr..
Strain has found the key that will
unlock the door and free Pendleton
from the financial difficulties with
which it is now beset.
There are many arguments in favor
of municipal electric plant in con-
nection with a mountain water sup
ply. It seems that from an engineer
ing standpoint the proposition should
be entirely feasible. Should water be
secured from the north fork of the
Umatilla river there would be suffi-
cient fall that the water could be
used to generate electrical power and
then be brought on to the city for
use for domestic purposes.
1t is Mr. Strains belief that the city
could make money from an electric
plant and thereby lessen the city tax
rate. 1t sounds very reasonable. 1t
is surely fair to assume that there is
a profit in running electric plants. If
not why are corporations in the busi-
ness and why are they so anxious to
continue in the business.
Of course there are some who will
say that municipalities should not go
into the lighting business. They will
claim that there are so many intri-
cate problems connected with the busi-
ness that the work can be successfully
done only by private corporations. But
such talk is bosh. Cities can employ
Just as capable electricians, engineers
and managers as can corporations.
They can conduct the business and
make money at it just as well as can
corporations. This has been proven
many times. Milton operates an cleo
trlc plant with good success. So does
the city Of Seattle.
During the past year the water COM
missioners considered to some extent
at least the proposition of providing
an electric system in connection with
a mountain water system. But moth
ing was accomplished. The water
board at present has no power to en-
gage in anything but the water busi-
ness.
Would It not be good sound busi-
ness policy to authorize the city coun-
ell or the water board to investigate
the proposition Of combined water
and electric system and to float bonds
to secure money for such plant in
case the undertaking is found prac-
ticable?

are made and administered, not for tn,
benefit of the people, but in order tC
crafty corporate greed. The story /:
one that makes American blood boi
with indignation.
A direct primary law. If such could
be had, would free Colorado from the
grip of this beast of the jungle. But
Colorado cannot get direct prlm-

the use of the initiative as in Oregon
and the Legislature is dominated by
the bosses to such an extent that it
will never pass a primary law. So the
tramway company, the Guggenheims
and others have their way and the
public suffers.
In oregon we have a direct prim-
ary system and through this system
the people have direct control of af-
fairs. Men do not secure nominations
by kissing the feet of party bosses as
in the days of old. They run for
office and win or lose according to
their strength. They know that if
they are to remain strong with the
people they must serve the people. Our
state officials and our judges do not
owe allegiance to corporations or to
machine leaders. They are respon-
sible only to their people. It is a splen-
did system.
Yet a well organized movement is
now underway to overthrow this sys-

republican party will hold assem-

control of affairs. They want nomi-
nations made by an inner circle of
politicians who will get instructions
from those who constitute Oregon's
"beast of the jungle" Next year they
are going to make desperate effort
to regain control so that they may
dominate affairs as they did of old and
as they do in Colorado now.

ABLE MEN NEEDED.

Because there is hard work to do
there is a reluctance on the part of
able men to run for municipal offices.
The city is in financial difficulties and
there will be a rocky path for the next
mayor and the next city council to
travel. The water commission will al
so have hard work to do, providing the
people vote to install gravity water
system.
But the fact that there will be heavy
work to be do is urgent reason why
good men should be made to run for
office. The times demand that the
best possible men be elected to office
in December. If incompetent men
are allowed to go into office by de-
fault Pendleton may suffer sadly. II
through their incapacity they are un-
able to handle the problems that viii

AS TO CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.
Portland, october Z, 1909.

fortlanu, OCTOBER Z, 1yOy.
Editor East Oregonian:-
Your paper published recently
some statements alleged to have beer
made by Mrs. Gilbert of New York
and Brooklyn regarding Christian
Science, and in this connection we de-
sire to submit herewith a refutatior
of this matter by Mr.. Alfred Farlow
central committee on publication for
the First Church Of Christ, Scientist
Boston, which, owing to the public
ity given the former statement OF
Mrs Gilbert, we would like to have
you give place in your columns:
''If the public has not wearled with
reading a periodical reiteration of
flippant tittle-tattle about Christian
Science, perhaps it has not weared
of our corrections.
Mrs. Gilbert may be "reader and
practitioner of something, but GER
tainly not Sin the Christian Science
| church" As to her charge of graf" "
all of the financial affairs of the
church are known to its 10000 or
$4,000 members, and such a thing
would be impossible if it were desir-
able Nearly all of the men who are
connected with the movement at
headquarters" are serving the
church at monetary sacrifice.
Mrs. Gilbert asserts that the prin-
cipal graft of the movement lies in
the sale of Mrs. Eddys books. This
is evidently new version of what
constitutes graft. No one is obliged
to purchase the book, and if he does
he gets the worth of his money.
Christian Scientists are no more eX-
pected to purchase a revised book
than are mechanics expected to pur-
chase newly improved machinery. The
Christian Scientist as well as the me-
chanic may discard to his advantage
if he pleases Most women buy a
new. revised hat at least once each
year. Without casting any reflections
upon the new hat, may say that
revised "Science and Health costs
much less and is worth much more
to the spiritual understanding of
student Of Christian Science than a
fashionable hat to one who owns hat
out of fashion.
As a church. the Christian Science
denomination is not anti-marriage.
As in other denominations, this ques-
ton is left to the individual discre-
ton of its members,
Since Ms. Gilbert repudiates Chris
tian Science. to be consistent, she
should call her "new religion by some
other name. Her allegation that Mrs,
Eddy is no longer the head of the
Christian Science church is made in
the face of public evidence to the
ontrarv-evidenc which could not
be mistaken by any Christian Sci
enlist.
Mrs. Gilbert has evidently become
badly twisted in her Christian Science
if indeed, she ever understood it.
Christian Science does not teach that
zone can harm another person by
thought power" but on the contrary
teaches that God is the only real
power. Mrs. Eddy is aware that GER
tain persons believe that evil can be I
produced by mental process and she [
has taught her students how TO de-
fend themselves against such decep- [
ton by knowing the simple truth.

To Pay All Depositors

After passing through the con-
ditions resulting from the failure
of the Columbia Trust company of
Oklahoma City, State Bank Com
missioner Young of Oklahoma
writes the following letter regard
ing the Oklahoma guaranty law to
State Bank Commissioner ]. N.
Dolly of Kansas:
81 am at loss to see how the
national banks can get any COM
fort out of the Columbia Bank and
Trust company failure. l am
pleased to tell you that nov have
a sufficient amount of cash on hand
to pay every individual depositor,
and hope to realize enough out of
the assets in the next ten days to
pay all the bank deposits. In my
judgment this has never been
equaled in a bank failure holding
virtually three million dollars de-
posits.
81 appreciate your offering me
your help, but l have the matter
well in hand and assure you the
victory is won and the guaranty
law is stronger with our people
than ever before. If am not mis-
taken in the temper of the Ameri-
can people, this will be an object
lesson to the plain, common peo.
pie that the BANKERS and others
who are fighting the guaranty law

this writing they are still grinding.
The defendants are charged with

ling Robert Warwick and Clay
Wheat, the specific charge being
disturbing the peace. The defend.
ants were4deputy marshals on this
occasion and their defense is that
they had orders to arrest the boys
that they were notified to get off
the streets and go home which
they refused to do. Mr.. Spawr,
who is the complaining witness,
claims that the boys were in his
restaurant and were waiting to be
served, that they were quiet and
orderly, and that the marshals not
only handled the boys roughly but
used rude language in the restau-
rant. He says he keeps an orderly
place where both ladies and gentle
men are invited and he allows
neither rough language nor rough
actions.

Mrs. Guthrie Very Sick

Mrs. G. F. Guthrie, whose Sick
ness was noted last week, is still
in very critical condition. Dur
ing the latter part of last week her
life was suspended on a slender
thread but there was noticeable
improvement the first of this week.
On Sunday slight operation
was performed by Drs. Donovan
and Gilbert of this city and DR..
Johnson of Oklahoma, nephew of
Mrs. Guthrie's. She is resting bet
ter now than she has since taking
sick and Mr.. Guthrie and the ply
sicians feel greatly encouraged.
Mrs. Guthrie has suffered untold
agony during this ordeal. Her
friends are much distressed to know
of her misfortune and earnestly
hope for her recovery.
