Already they are getting injunctions to
prevent the deal going through, and there
will soon be an investigation by the courts.
The farmers might have known when Nor
gan's agents commenced to buy up their
property that they were not doing it for fun,
and they should have been on their guard.
Now it appears that Morgan bought these
lines for the simple reason that they were
active competitors of his Bell Telephone and
Telegraph Company, and he wants to merge
them with the Bell and control the whole
thing
He is buying up independent lines in other
sections of the country Just as he did In the
West, and in few years he will own every
telephone line worth owning.
In every section the Bell Telephone Com
pany will have monopoly just as it now has
In some sections.
The Chicago Tribune has recently polled
the Republican and Independent editors of
the West, the Northwest and the Southwest
as to their attitude toward Speaker Cannon
and the Payne Aldrich Tariff law
The editors were asked the following ques-
tons:
''Is the Hon. Joseph G. Cannon, of Illinois,
your choice for Speaker of the next Congress?
do you 1ndOrSe the Aldrlch-CannOn tar1H law
or the Aldrich-Cannon organization of the Senate
and the House?'
From Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana,
Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Okla
homa, Utah, Wyoming, Minnesota, Norh Da-
kota, South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Wash
ington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Mis-
souri,, Kentucky and Tennessee have come an
swers from more than four thousand editors
practically every Republican and Indepen-
dent editor IN the above-named States, and
the majority against Cannon and the present
tariff law is overwhelming.
To the first question 546 Republican edi-
tors answered in favor of Cannon, while 1858
answered that they were against him. Thirty
one Independent editors also favored Can
non, while al opposed him.
To the second question 612 Republican
editors favored the present tariff law, while
1886 were opposed to it. The vote of the In
dependent editors shows 81 for and 81
against it.
These figures are surprising when you
think of it, for it means that every one of
these editors who oppose Cannon and the
Cannon-Aldrich, or Payne-Aldrich tariff law
are dissatisfied with the present administra-
ton, for Mr. Taft has endorsed every bit of
Legislation that this pair of rascals has put
through the present Congress.

ing his dissatisfaction to his readers, who in
turn are beginning to think and study the
present situation. So when you multiply the
number of editors by the number of followers
each editor has, you will have pretty good
sized army of votors who are dissatisfied.
No doubt if President Taft were to make
another tour Of the country proclalming the
Payne-Aldrich the best tariff measure we
have ever had the perpetual smile would
freeze on his face before he travelled many
wiles west of Washington City.
This is the section of the country that fur
nishes the insurgent members of Congress,
and this poll is sure indication that the IN
surgents are making rapid gains.
The next Congress will have more insur-
gent members than the present one, and it
will be more than apt to put end to Can
non rule, even if it happens to be Repub-
hcan
The people are waking up to the fact that
they must get rid of such rascals as Cannon
and Aldrich in order to get anything like
square deal
The Berlin correspondent of the London
Standard quotes DR.. Rohrbach, the we'll
known authority on Asiatic affairs, as assert
ing that China promised to repay the United
States for its diplomatic support by granting
concessions to the Steel Trust, and further
states that DR.. Rohrbach has IN his possession
a copy of a secret circular issued by our Gov
eminent to all of our consuls and consular
agents in China notifying them that their
claims for promotion would be Judged by the
measure of increased trade between their dis
tricts and the United States.
If this statement is true, and we have no
reason to doubt that it is, isn't it pretty fix
in which we find ourselves?
Instead of attending to our own affairs at
home, we find our Government dabbllng IN
China's diplomatic business, and all because
China promises to grant concessions to the
Steel Trust
Here we are paying tremendous taxes to
run the Government, good part OF said taxes
going to pay the good salaries OF these con
suls and consular agents, and we find that
they are acting as private agents for the
Trusts with their promotion dependent upon
how much they increase the Trusts business
in their territories
IF this Government is not a Government
run By the Trusts and for the Trusts, there
never will be one.
Let the Trust magnates pull the string, and
evrey one, from Taft doa0n to the little funk
5eS, begin to carry out the Trusts orders just
as slave obeys his master.
And all the time this is going on, the com
mon people are paying the fat salaries of
these Trust TOOLS

FLY AIRsHIP At PENDLET0N
Plan Craft to Rise Perpendicularly
From Ground.

As soon as an engine can Ee install
ed in the airship now being built at
Pendleton a trial flight of the inven-
tion will be made, says special.
There has been nc secrecy about the
work at any time, but the builders
prefer to have visitors wait until
something definite can be shown.
The machine is being built at the
home Of John Fl. Bahr few miles
outside the city limits. 1t is an at
tempt TO huild machine that will
be able to rise directly from the earth
without having to resort to the pre-
liminary slide or run which all aero
planes now find necessary.
The present aeroplane is like some
large hirds, which it is said may be
confined in cage with the top re-
moved and yot be unable to fly out
unless the cage is sufficiently wide or
long. These birds. such as wild tur-
keys. and the present aeroplanes all
need running start to be able to fiy.
Some of them have special piece OF
apparatus for this and at one time
the Wright machines started only
from monorail. down which the
machine slid to get start As it
will not Ee possible to have special
starting rail wherever an aeronaut
may happen to land. this type of aero
plane has drawbacks.
For this reason the Pendleton In
vestigators intend first Of all to make
machine which can rise perpen-
dioularly from the ground. The first
flights will supposedly demonstrate
whether this has been accomplished.
II tho lifting arrangement is found
satisfactory then propellers to drive
the machine will be added.

FINE POULTRY EXHIBITION
viii Be Held at PendIeton BY Una
tilla-Morrow County Association.


With prizes amounting il value to
approximately $500. the first annual
exhibit of the recently formed Una
tilla- Morrow county Poultry Associa-
tion will be held in Pendleton. Jan
nary, 25. 26, and ~. 1t is to be a
score card show and will be the lar
gest score card show In Oregon this
year.
The announced purpose Of the or
ganization is 10 develop the poultry
industry in the two counties named
and for that reason it was decided to
make score card show. The exhibit
will therefore be Of great value to all
breeders In the two counties, both old
and new. 1t gives the beginner a
chance to find out exactly the quality
of the chickens he possesses for every
bird will be given card, showing its
good and bad points.
For the old breeder the show will
prove to DO an exceptional opportunity,
for the chicken industry Is just get
ting good start in this section OF
Oregon and from all sides, are com
ing in inquiries concerning eggs and
stock. There will probably Ee more
intending purchasers at this show
than at any other held in the North
west this wiDter. The dates. too,
arc the very best possible for the sell
ing of stock and the taking of orders
for eggs.
In addition to these facts the list OF
cash prizes, the special and the
beautiful cups offered makes it by far
the most attractive show ever held
in eastern Oregon.
The association feels that it is
exceedingly fortunate in having secur-
ed the services OF Elmer Dixon for
Judge. He is a man of national rep
utatioD, is member Of the American
Poultry association and is licensed ty
that organization to judge all classes
Of poultry included in the standard OF
perfection. He is classed Ky many as
the leading judge of poultry on the
coast.
