So far they have not provided any
such demonstration. The sole
ground on which they are to be
admitted is that there was 4 plank

way in which great questions in

are to be settled! Policies of
great moment which have been
under discussion for years and
years. and have the hearty sup
port of the American people, yet
remain unembodicd in law even
though they have been made sub

a little plank, inserted during the

an exhausting session without ade-

as the one part of the platform
which no one can afford to violate.

Congressman Martin Announces
Himself For Reelection

Representative Martin of South
Dakota today formal V announced
his intention to he a candidate
for reelection to congress. Under
date of Feb. 10th. several promi-
nent republicans in western South
Dakota, headed by James G. Stan
ley. state committeeman from Law
renee county. asked Mr.. Martin
to enter the race. In reply there
to Mr.. Martin says:

proval of my work in congress and

turn the state over to the democrats
as it ought to.
The Fundamental principles OF
republicanism are as potential to-
day as they have ever been. They
have formed the basis of the party S
usefulness from Lincoln to Taft.
South Dakota republicans are in
agreement on these principles.
They agree also on the essential
new policies that ma lie for pro
gress and good government.
"Thcre are honest differences OF

The Statehood Bill

Apparently two new states are
about to ioin the Federal Union
without any adequate consldcra-
ton of their fitness for their re
sponslbiIitics. According to the
Twelfth Census. New Mexico had
ten years ago population OF
.l95, 80 and Arizona population
of l22.93l. 1t is estimated that
by this time New Mexico has III
creased its population to about
$50, 900 and Arizona TO about l51,
coo. This means that New MeNi-
co has less than half the popula-
tior of Baltimore. which is but a
single city III one Of the smallest
of the Eastern States. and several
thousand less than the city of
Newark. New Jersey: and that
Arizona ha, a population many
thousands less than Rochester,
New York. and many more thou
sands less than Providence, Rhode
Island, which is a city in the very
smallest Of the eastern states The
fact that these two states will
bring four new senators INTO the
United States Senate. having a
combined vote equivalent to the
vote of senator's representing SIN
teen millions of people, is not to
be contemplated inditlcrently. The
fact that small communities can
now veto legislation demanded by
an overwhelming prepondcrance
Of the American people affords nc
argument for making such minori-
/ ty veto still more impreynablc.
1t has been SAID with incredible
gravity that because there are such
states in the Union u, yOmlng
with little more than hundred
thousand population. and Nevada,
with less than fifty thousand,
therefore Arizona and New MeXi-
co are ''entitlcd TO statehood.
No territory. however populous.
is entitled to statehood. The only
powers entitled to deter m n {
whether a territory shall enter the
Union as sovereign state are

the rest of US, the burden Of proc

NEW KIND OF REVOLUTION

Senorita Amanda Azar, beautiful
Syrian girl, has been playing the role
of modern Helen of Troy for the
Santo DOMINICAN republic. Despite
that she was of foreign birth, the
fetching senorita was nominated for
queen of the national carnival. The
know-nothing element protested Wig
orously, and reports declare that the
national cabinet, the army and the
police force of the capital became
hopelessly divided on the issue. The
minister of foreign affairs and the
minister of finance endorsed the lib
eral movement to the extent Of offer
ing to marry Miss Azar. Santo Do
mingo is not unaccustomed to cabinet
crises, but this was a strictly new
kind and President Caceres had a
hard time maintaining his neutrality
and preserving the peace. A string of
duels of the inocuous Partisan kind
was instant to the crisis. On the pop
ular vote, Miss Azar's dark, pensive
eyes and dainty olive complexion won

NO SERIOUS DANGER.

Some of the stories that are going
the rounds indicate that the Umatilla
Indians are almost ready to take the
war path on account of the census
enumeration. \ story in Mondays 5
Inland Herald, Of Spokane, says run
ners have been dispatched to the diff
ferent settlements upon the reserva-
ton notifying the tribesmen not to be
enumerated" 1t also states that a
battle council" has been called by
the Indians and that apprehension"
is felt by the people of Pendleton.
All this is very interesting to be
sure and it proves the old rule that
people must go away from home to
learn the news. The East Oregonian
did not know of the impending danger
to this fair city. It has always found
the Umatilla Indians as friendly and
peacable as a new boy on the first day
Of school. 1t IS true that George
Strand, census enumerator on the res
ervation, has had some trouble enum-
Grating the Indians. But that has been
due to natural skepticism on the part
OF the Indians. not to any feeling of
hostility. So. the world need not be
alarmed. The Umatillas wont go up
on the war path. They charge for
such performances these days and in
sist on being paid in advance. If
Spokane wants to secure a "war party
for use as an attraction at the national
apple show or upon some other oc-
casion they can be had for about SO

GOING TOO FAR.

The oregon Journal very properly
gle Foundation for attempting ito die
tate regarding the course of instruc-
ton in the colleges and universities

The purpose is not to serve a mar
rowed few. but to be broad and reach
as far as possible out into the whole
mass says the Journal. The more
broadly utilitarian education is dis
tributed. the sounder will be society
and the safer the republic. The whole
influence of the Foundation with its
money for pension rolls is to lift prac-
teal education above the heads of
! the masses. This it does by insisting
as in the Wisconsin Agricultural COL
lege and the Ohio State university
and other institutions on raising the
entrance requirements. Confessing
as all must the Importance of a rea-
( scnable number of extremely ad-

/ that it would be suicidal to raise al

already been advanced too swiftly in

pupils in the elementary schools o

that more than 80 per cent of thos

PEACE Is PREFERABLE.

Seemingly some good is going to re-
suit from the complaints local peo-
pie have made against poor phone
service at increased rates. Already
the district manager for the Pacific
telephone & telegraph company has
promised to see that a more satisfac-
tory service is rendered Pendleton
patrons. There is plenty Of room for
improvement and here's hoping we
will get It.
Whether or not the old rate on four
party phones will be restored is still
In doubt. The Officials assert that
the rate Of $50 for a four party
phone is only just. It was admitted
yesterday that the valuation placed
on their local plant when a statement
was made for assessment purpose was
tco low. II was an interesting ad-
mission. The district manager be-
lieves he can secure data that will
show that the earnings Of the COM
pany in Pendleton are not excessive
II he can do this, very well.
Pendleton people are not .antago-
nistic to the telephone company and
have no desire to harass its officials
unduly. What the people Of Pen
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1910-04-27

dleton want of the telephone company
is good service at reasonable prices.
They are entitled to good service be-
cause they pay the Pacific telephone
& telegraph company many thousands
Of dollars annually. They are entitled
to this service at reasonable cost for
the reason that the city is in partner
ship with the company. The company
could not do business here at all did
il not have the use of the streets ana
have permit from the city to carry
on its business
Because the phone company has A
monopoly which it recently strength
ened by the purchase of the Western
Union is no reason why charges should
be advanced and the service allowed
to deteriorate. The greater the COM
pany's monopoly the better the service
II should render and the more reas-
cradle its charges should be.
1t is never good policy for any pub
lie utility corporation to take a policy
Of arrogance towards its patrons for
they always have ways of obtaining
redress.
The fact that District Manager Var
Houtte promises to speed up" the 10,
cal service indicates he is anxious tC
do the right thing by the people o.
the city as we'll as by his company
Here's hoping he will be able to pro
vide better service and that the pres
ent controversy between the city AM
the company may be settled satisfac
torilly. Peace should be better thai

game.
