BY all means shold an initiative
measure be prepared in behalf of the
Eastern Oregon normal school a
bill providing adequate maintenance
for the school should be drafted and
submitted to the people in November.
The people can then say whether or
not they wish to maintain a normal
school in eastern Oregon. That they
dc favor an eastern Oregon normal
and will support the Weston insti-
tuition this paper firmly believes.
1t was to the shame and disgrace
Of the state Of Oregon that the nor
NAL schools were left without funds
last winter Though it took but
trifling sum to operate the Eastern
Oregon normal yet the school was
left without a cent. Through the
work of a little clique of senators the
school was even denied money with
which to complete the school year
Only through public donations Sc
cured from the people of Weston,
Pendleton and from the normal school
faculty and the students themselves
was enough money gathered to exc
out the term.
Since the Eastern oregon normal
was forced to close for lack of funds
the young people Of eastern Oregon
desiring normal training have gone to
the Washington normals and to the
normal school at Lewiston, Idaho.
They are being educated at the ex-
pense Of our sister states. However
under the laws Of Washington stu
dent from Oregon must pledge him
self or herself to teach for three years
within that state after graduation or
else pay a high entrance fee. Nearly
all Of them agree to teach in Wash
ington and so become lost to this
state.
So 1t is plain that If the present
situation is allowed to continue It will
be but few years until this state will
be in a sorry plight with respect to
teachers. with no provision for
training teachers within the state and
with many young people going away
for instruction and to teach the edu-
cational work in this state cannot but
retrograde. II the standard Of the
public schools Of eastern Oregon is to
sary that the Eastern Oregon normal
be supported and so permitted to dc
the work for which It was establish.

ards getting support for this insti
tuition.

NOW FOR THE $4,000.

The Washingtcn-O Oregon company
agrees to commence operations upon
the raising Of $4,000 by local peo-
pie. The company still wants $4,000
but will undertake to raise the re-
mainder of the fund themselves.
Very well.
The fact that the company will be-
gin its construction work and agree
tc carry out the provisions of its con-
tract after $4,000 has been raised is
decidedly encouraging. 1t is the best
news the traction workers have had
in many weeks. It means that the
long hard fight for a traction system
may be won. 1t is all but won now.
With another day or two of good Wig
orous canvassing the sum may be
brought up to the desired $4,000
mark. Then the traction system will
be assured and bright days shall be
at hand for Pendleton and for the
people of this city.

The former political leaders" want

Simon or some other remnant of the
rotten ring that once dominated this
state. He should not look to the

view of the assemblyites.
However the people of oregon ad-
opted the direct primary law. They
did so for a purpose. They did so in

pointed political managers to name

of this state. 1t is a pretty safe guess
that the people have no desire to re-

clans may be weary of the direct pri-
mary. But the rank and file of the
people are entirely satisfied with It.

THE FARMER Is INNOCENT.

1t is now evident that desperate ef-
forts will be made to fasten the guilt
for the high cost of living upon the
farmer-the one man who is not
guilty. One by one the various trusts
come forth with elaborate statements
from their attorneys and agents show
ing how they have had nothing what
ever to do with the increased cost Of
existence. The railroads declare they
have had nothing to do with it. The
administration stiu insists that the
tariff is innocent and that the reduc-
tion made last summer was downward.
So there is only one man left to blame,
the original producer-he is the
goat" Few people though are go
ing to be deceived by this. 1t is Well
known that the farmers are about
the only people who have not organ
ized and who still do business upon
a competitive basis. Besides the fin
ger of suspicion points too strongly AZ
the trusts Despite the insistent de-
5nials of the trust representatives peo-
pie are going to believe they are re-
sponsible for the high cost of livinw.
The trusts have the goods" upon
them. They cannot expect to keep on
rolling up enormous profits and then
ask people to believe them when they
point to the farmer and say he is the
william in the plot.

Mr. Garretson has been active In

he called the attention OF the police
chief to the fact that on one OF the

demanded that the chief have the de-

1T was a desecration of the flag. and
that It was also illegal. inasmuch as
II was operated for gam bling purposes.
Chief Crowley ordered the flag re-
moved. but, according to Mr.. Garrett
son. did not stop the operation OF the
wheel. Warm words were exchanged
between Messrs. Crowley and Garrett
son, and. 1t is alleged, the chief placed
his shoulder against Mr.. Garretson
and pushed him out of the way. This
push is said to be the ground for the
charge of dangerous assault"

ing that the Mayors condition was as

he thought the Mayor had not yet

Reports from the hospital that the

Immediately fatal results.
Secretary Adamson arrested all
these statements, which had found their
way into print, with a fiat denial. None

even discuss them.
There remains the fact that there
has arisen a consciousness among those
in touch both with the public and the
sick room that the official bulletins are
vigorously confined to the stated symp-
