WE ARE AFTER "FEED."

To make a town grow you must
feed it-you must reach out and ac-
uuire new business for it and develop
the business it already has. To ex-
pect town to grow when it has
nothing to grow upon is useless. One
might as we'll expect to fatten a beef
steer without giving him something to
eat.
If Pendleton is to advance we must
first take steps to make its advance
ment possible Arrangements must
be made to get new business for the
city. Distant territory must be an
nexed, the local farming country must
be more closely developed and peo-
pled and the manufacturing indus
tries Of the city strengthened.
1t is a fortunate situation that the
enterprise of the Washington-o Oregon
company promises to accomplishg all
three Of these objects. Interurban
lines extending from this city out into
Pendleton's tributary territory will
annex that territory in a commercial
sense. At the same time the electric
lires viii work for the division of the
big farms in this vicinity and tend &c
bring about higher state of aEri'
culture and a greater rural popula'
tion. The additional electric power
the Washington Oregon company will
bring into the city should serve
nightly to stimulate manufacturing
within the city.
Through obtaining a traction sys
tenn and additional electric power WI
may secure feed" for Pendleton an'
50 make it possible for this place t
grow until it becomes a real city.

JUSTICE BREWERS VIEW.

A great Judge with a spotless rec
ord of thirty-five years has told the
public through this newspaper how to
make the courts of the country ctrong-
er in character and prompter in de-
cisions.
David Josiah Brewer. Associate JUS
tice of the United States Supreme
Court, goes on record for the prin-
ciple that not more than one appeal
should be allowed, after the trial
Judge-save in a case involving a dis
rnct constitutional principle.
Judge Brewers proposal to cut
down appeals is made with full ac-
ceptance of its necessary implications,
to wit. the elimination of technicalities
and the expansion of the discretion OF
judges.
His opinion seems to be that the
fundamental cause of the tagging of
legal processes and perversion of jus
tice is the attempt that has been made
in this country to avoid resting any
great weight upon the personal char
acter and intelligence of judges. In
some states, as Judge Brewer says
the refinement of technical restric-
tions upon every motion of judicial
common sense has reduced a judge to
status that is little more than thai
of moderator"
Judge Brewer advises us to cut on,
the technicalities that are supposed t'
protect us from the wrath of man
but do not-and to throw more
weight upon the character of the
! judge.
He implies that the attempt to rur
a human society by rules and withou
| the intervention of human beings Il
naturally failure.
He says we must get judges 'whos'
lcharacted and learning measure up u
the highest standard"-and then W.
should trust them to act reasonably
Doubtless he would allow that W.
should have some easy-running po
litical expedient-like the recall -
to get rid of judges that looked wise
but turned out foolish.-San Francls

SHARE THE BURDEN EQUITABLY

The educational work in connection
with the traction movement is now
finished. By this paper and by others
the various features of the PROPOSE
ton have been explained so fully that
people should be we'll informed con-
cerning the essential points. Those
who are not informed may easily Sc
cure all the information they want.
This is time for action. The cam
paign for stock subscriptions is on in
earnest. The traction workers are
getting results. Already $4,000 has
been secured and there is much more
money in sight. There is now no
reason on earth why Pendleton should
not raise sufficient money to meet
the request of the washington-ore-
gon company and by so doing secure
for Pendleton the most valuable I'M
provement ever offered the city.
A glance at the subscription list
though shows that the burden OF IL
nancing the local end of the traction
enterprise is not being equitably borne.
over one fourth the sum subscribed
up to Saturday evening was given oy
members of the original traction COM
mittee. The remainder has been Sc
cured from local business men and
from property owners of small or
moderate holdings. The big property
owners. especially those owning bus
ines property, have thus far remained
aloof. They have done this despite
the fast that they are to be the chief
benenciaries from the traction sys-
TEN.
II is incredible though that the
heavy property owners will continue
to stand in the way Of the traction
movement. 1t is only right that they
come in and bear their share Of the
expense. Most of the big property
owners are in position to give liber-
ally to the fund and 1t is plainly thei'
duty to do so. They have no righ'
10 sit back and allow the burden to
fall entirely upon the shoulders o.
others less able to give than they.
It is UP to you Mr.. Property Ownel
tn get into the game. Please come oI
and do your part.

is THE PRESIDENT LEARNING

IF the enforcement of the law is
not consistent with the present meth
Cd of carrying on business, then it
does not speak well for the present
methods of conducting business and
they must be changed to conform to
the law" said President Taft in his
Lincoln day speech at New York.
These words have the proper ring. If
the administration will but follow up
this declaration with a vigorous and
effective curbing of illegal cornbina-
tions all will be well. That would be
following out the Roosevelt policy.
The American people will endorse
President Taft and reelect him If he
will but act in this respect with the
force and courage shown by his pre-
decessor.
The objection to the present admin
istration is that thus far it has been
a conservative rather than a liberal
administration. In proceeding against
the predatory interests the administra-
ton has moved slowly and lamely
There has been too much of a tend
ency to let the trusts themselves say
how they shall be punished for theii
misdeeds and how their powers shall
be curbed. This will not do. Crimi'
nails must not be allowed to pass up
on their own offences. The horse
must not say with what sort Of a bi
he shall be bridled. Perhaps PreA
dent Taft is finding this out

kane is the greatest railroad center
west of the Missouri river" says the
Review. But, notwithstanding this
fact, 1t is the fifth city, as measured
bv population, on the Pacific slope.
San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland
and Seattle are larger, chiefly, If not
wholly. by reason of preferential
freight rates"
"The Pacific coast cities have
fluurished on low and discriminating
freight rates. The growth of the in
terror has been retarded by high and
unjust freight rates, and this disad-
vantage must continue so long as the
transcontinental lines are permitted
to exact higher rates for the short
haul than they voluntarily give the
Coast cities for the long haul
In asserting that terminal rates
alone have given the coast cities their
present superiority Spokane people
doubtless go too far. other influ-
ences too have combined to give the
coast points the lead. Yet it is cer>
tain that the favoritism shown the
coast cities has worked greatly to the
advantage of those points and to the
disadvantage of inland cities. 1t is
likewise plain, to the people of the
interior at least, that the entire ter
minal rate system as it now exists is
unjust and should go.

COLLEGE HOCKEY TEAMS ARE
IN NEED OF GOOD COACHES

New York, Dee TN the past the
fact that our college hockey has been
below the par maintained i'm the AM
crican Amateur Hockey league has
largely been due. not only to the mex
perience of the players, but TO lack of
competent coaching.
This has been noticeable at Column
hia and Dartmouth. During several
seasons the blue and white of Colum-
bia has been trailed in the rear be-
cause some mediocre material was nm
developed owing to the lack of a coach
who could make the candidates do
things. An then. too, il was said that
there was a tendency to clique on the
team and that fraternal feeling has a
good deal to do with the choosing of
the varsity players.
Ever since Tom Howard has been
coaching Yale. the blue has turned out
strong sevens. Gus Hornfeck's taking
charge Of Princeton was just what the
Tigers needed. These two expert pucl,
chasers were able to teach their can
didates things about the game They
cOulu not only ten tlcm now tnlngS
should be done, but they could get on
the ice and show them, and that's what
Is needed.
Ralph Windsor has been successful
with Harvard teams. c. Hunters work
with Cornell sevens has been handi-
capped by lack of proper practice.
Last year at Ithaca the ice was late in
forming on Cayuga lake, and when
il did II was accompanied by severe
snowstorms and when the snow clear
ed away sufficiently To permit of work,
the ice began to crack up.
The Cornell team appears TO be al
most intact for this reason. 1t was n
strong seven last year and should
have finished better that it did, but
il lacked coaching i'm the finer points
of the game and at times it's work
WaXed very crude.
Columbia has at last startled itself
into activity and has taken the first
step toward molding what may devel-
op into something more than a pre-
tense for hockey seven by securing
Percy lie Suer the famous Canadian
goalkeep, for a coach.

CHOICE BETWEEN
EAST And WEST
STUDENT BODY AND ALUMNI OF
MICHIGAN WILL BE ASKED
TO EXPRESS THEIR PREF
ERENCE.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Dec. AS a re-
suit of the action taken by the West
ern Conference. the Conference issue
has been cleared and within fort
night an attempt will be made by the
wolverine authorities to determine
the undergraduate and alumni SEN
tlment relative to a return to the Con-
ference. The issue has been present
ed separately by the Conference Ia
the Wolverine authorities and Michi-
gan must choose. Either the Wolver-
ines will return to the Conference
which means the termination of rela-
tions with the east i'm football after the
expiration of existing contracts, or
they will retain their present posi-
ton of isolation, which means an even
more intimate alliance with the east in
all branches of athletics.
Whatever the outcome of the strug-
gle now impending. the recent legisla-
ton has called for decisive action
Nacillation no longer is possible. Mich
igan is the institution most interested
and logically enough Michigan is the
one that will be called upon to make
the decision. one of the strongest OBJ
jections to a return to the Conference
has been that Michigan now is i'm a
position where she can play both east
ern and western games, and that re-
turn to the Conference would confer
no additional advantages. Now, how
ever, the Conference authorities have
tactfully narrowed the issue and Mich
igan must choose between east and
west Moreover the decision probably
will be final. At any rate, If Michigan
passes up the chance now presented
of making peace with the western al
lance, there is little chance that an
other opportunity will be offered with

LYNCH DENIES THAT SLAVERY

that the club owners were a bunch Of

Il do not suppose that the writer of

ted by a spirit Of malice in making
his deductions" said the man whom
the two Charleys Murphy and Eb-
bets-wll like 10 see in New Britain,
Conn. instead of i'm New York. but
he wasn't familiar with his facts or
with his subject

IF slavery exists in baseball. it is
rather strange that so many bright
