issue now before the people is the do
ing away with special privilege in all

of the big corporation to control leg

eyes to which il is not entitled But
l regard the essential factor in this
campaign as being aroused civic con-
science which will unsparingly con-
denim dishonesty in every form, and

ton only when it shows itself in the

wrong as the rich man whose low

get Justice from the corporations only

rigidly exact it from them. Unless
they do justice to rich men, they put
a premium upon injustice and dishon-
esty anmong rich men. Let US hold
them to the strictest accountability
for any wrong doing; but let us in
sist upon honesty in our own ranks,

crookedness of every sort in the man
of small means as we'll as the man
of large means. Let us judge each
man by his conduct and not by his

My Dear Miss Boyd:

The East Oregonian is in receipt of

have died some years later, and she
then married Frank Moulton, also in
some part of Oregon.
We are now very anxious to get
some definite information concerning
the heirs of this family to aid in set
tling large estate.
The heirs of Mable Warren or any
one having information concerning
her or them are requested to COM

CARNIVAL SECURED FOR
WALIIA WALLA FAIR

Walla Walla, Wash--Another splen-
did attraction has been obtained for
the county fair in the shape of tho
Miller Carnival company which will
provide some of the most pleasant en-
tertainment ever given at even the
biggest expositions. 1t need only be
mentioned that some of the more i'm
portant attractions presented are
''The Slide for Life" and The Lashell
Aerial Act" which have appeared at
many of the country's greatest fairs
and have never failed to be spoken of
for many months afterward. The ar
rangements for the presence of the
remarkable entertainers on the Mid
way is an assured fact.
The attraction was secured at a
large expense but the members of the
fair association consider nothing too
good for the big. event of the present
year.

At the Pastime.


Fridays new program includes
three big feature films.
The House With Closed Shutters.
Biograph, drama. A thrilling COM
mentary upon the difference between
cowardice and bravery. A dramatic
recital of circumstances which seem
to make direct appeal. 1t is natur-
al to loathe a coward. 1t Is quite as
natural to love bravery, and the two
are forcibly contrasted in this picture.
The actions of the cowardly son, the
heroism Of the young girl and the
consistency of her lover all combined
with careful acting makes this the
biggest feature film Of the week.
THE Wooing OFT" Vitagraph,
comedy. Another fascinating light
comedy. How a pair Of old lovers
learned to court from the example Of
the boys and girls.
"Caglistro." Pathe, drama. A dra-
matte adaptation from Alex Dumas
well known work, THE Memoirs of a
Physician"

Fire in Grass Frightens.

back Of the Sturgis residence caused
some excitement for a little while
yesterday afternoon. The alarm was
turned in and two hose companies
were called out from the central sta

flames having been extinguished be-
fore they reached any buildings or
fences. A high wind was blowing at
the time and had the fire spread to
the Sturgis property it would have
been extinguished with difficulty.
