GET TOGETHER.

1t is now but a short time until cam
didates must have their petitions filed.
II the direct primary republicans are
to defeat the assembly clique and their
candidate. Bowerman, it is high time
they were getting together. The di-
rect primary men should center upon
one candidate-it will be foolish for
them to divide their strength among
several aspirants for the nomination
for governor. At this time Judge
Grant B. Dimick is the leading direct
primary candidate. The anti-assembly
strength should be massed for him or
else some other man, such as Judge
Webster of Portland should be
brought into the field and the other
candidates induced to
withdraw.

AS TO THE ACADEMY.

In another column today the East
Oregonian publishes a letter from Mrs.
Mary B. Clopton in which she protests
vehemently against the reported re-
moval of the Pendleton academy to
La Grande.
For the benefit of Mrs. Clopton and
others who may have read the story
telling of the possible removal Of the
academy it may be stated there Is
little likelihood of any such action be-
ing taken. If the academy cannot be
maintained here it would be folly to
move it to any other eastern Oregon
town. This city is the center of the
greatest county in eastern Oregon,
and it has a population of 10000
which is larger than that of any other
county. Then the academy has it's
local buildings and grounds which
could not be moved. 1t also has the
prestige of a long and useful exist
ence which would be largely lost
should the school be moved. So there
Il no need for any one to worry over
the prospective removal Of the school.
What the Pendleton academy does
need and what 1t must have il 1t is
to be maintained here or at any other
place, is an endowment. In these days
no school of that character can con-
tnue permanently without an endow.
ment For long time the head Of
the academy and other friends of that
institution have been talking of Sc
curing an endowment. But IL they
have ever made any consistent SUBJ
stantial, businesslike effort towards
securing such an endowment the East
Oregonian has never heard Of that
effort. 1t is true one of two staggers
toward securing an endowment have
been made, but they were futile and
such attempts will always be futile. To
raise an endowment of 100000 is a
task that must be undertaken proper
ly if it is to be carried out successful
Iy. One might as well try to catch a
whale by shouting at him from the
shore as to raise an endowment by
the methods that have been tried up
TO this time.
The East oregonian wants see
the Pendleton academy maintained
and maintained in this city. This pa
per believes there is a great field for
that school and it is also firm in the
belief that a suitable endowment may
be had II the proper efforts are but
put forth. May the school people
stop talking of transplaning theil
school and get together in big and
determined effort to raise such an en-.
dowment as will make the school safe
for all times to come.

violently. This process OF quiet ad-
justment of new conditions is now
progressing very satisfactorily, and II
few additional weeks of rest can be
endured by the impatient commercial
spirit of the country 1t will be to the
advantage of all concerned.
while the general situation is not
without drawbacks and uncertainties,
the tendency is certainly towards inn
provement. The rest cure is at last
producing positively beneficial results,
especially in the money market. Not
long ago there was we'll founded ap-
prehension. both at home and abroad.
that serious money squeeze would
develop this fall. Fortunately, how
ever, such apprehensions have al
ready undergone considerable modifi-
cation. Extensive liquidation in
stocks. contraction of loans, conserva-
tism of bankers. liquidation of COM
modities. slackness in trade, liberal
importations of gold and continued
rising of bank reserves have all con-
tributed TO afford real and perfectly
natural relief to the monetary situ-
alton. 1t was feared that, owing to
the large land and grain speculation
in the West, the interior banks would
not be able to finance the crops this
season without unusual assistance
from Eastern bankers; but for the
reasons just stated these fears have
considerably diminished. Some strin-
gency is of course to be expected, and
better rates for money will probably
rule during the crop-moving season.
yet there is now no reason to antici-
pate serious consequences. In all
probability the assistance of the pro-
posed Currency Associations will not
be required. Their formation for the
purpose of dealing with emergencies
was. as intended. reassuring and
proved a useful influence upon senti-
ment. AS business requirements are
Stacking, and money appears to be
accommodating in all principal money
markets of the world, unnecessary
uneasiness regarding the monetary
article should be dismissed at once;
for at the worst nothing more than
temporary stringency or merely local
difficulties are to be expected"

Editor East Oregonian:
1t surely is not true-it cannot be
possible-that Pendleton is to lose
to La Grande its best asset, the PEN
dleton academy? A recent newspaper
announcement is to that effect but
.t is unbelievablei All recent reports
from Pendleton have been decidedly
to the effect that in spite of the clos
ing Of it's saloons the prosperity Of the
town is steadily enhancing, a larger
and better trade for all legitimate
business greater comfort for the fa-
mlIiar ordinary workers, and more
comfort, happiness and true prosper
ity among all classes Of citizens, save
perhaps only among few landlords.
Lo. 1t was with amazed incredul-
ity, this announcement of the pos
sible impending loss Of that invaluable
adjunct to Pendleton's continued well
fare--its efficient academy-is re-
ceived. II cannot be, that men able
and willing to raise thousands Of dol
lars for a wild west snow, should be-
srudge a similar amount to retain
what II lost, will mean incalculable
