DIR. WILEY

DR.. Wiley is exactly the kind of a
public official the American. people
instinctively and heartily believe in.
1t is possible that DR.. Wiley may
have erred in his food chemistry now
and then. But if so, he has never
erred on the side of a special inter-
est, but always on the side of the
public safety.
The attempt to discredit and dis
place this distinguished and invalu-
able public servant on trifling tech
nicality reveals an animus by some of
his accusers. We think Attorney
General Wickershams "condign
punishment note a blunder
Anything to get Wiley" is the war
cry of his enemies. And it has been
so for some years.
Mr.. Wickersham will have his
hands full attending to the much
graver charges made against the De-
pGrtment of Justice.--Examiner

MOUNTAINS.

Miss Henrietta was not a sylph by
any means, but she prided herself
upon the neatness of her well-round-
ed figure. and when she appeared on
the hotel veranda one summer day
with cluster of white ox-eye daisies
pinned against the crisp freshness OF
her green linen frock, gallant old
Colonel Floyd was moved to make
her a pretty speech.

with which Miss Henrdietta received

DIFFERENT HERE.

The consular report for September
21. gives some information about the
municipal gas plant of Manchester,
England. During the past year the
city made a net profit of s226,292
from its gas business. Yet it sells
gas at low rates and a still further
reduction has been ordered. After
September so the price of gas. as
measured by automatic meters, is to
be reduced to two cents for SS cubic
feet or approximately 60 cents per
1000 feet. The users of gas engines
are to obtain gas for 40 cents per
1000 feet.
In Pendleton. where the Pacific
Power & Light company enjoys a
monopol; granted by an indulgent
city council, the people pay $3.50 per
1000 feet for illuminating gas and
$500 per 1000 feet for gas for cook
ing purposes.
Some difference isn't there.

JUDGE FEES ADVICE.

Judge James A. Fee is not new
recruit to the forces that are fighting
for the removal of the overhead wires
and the ousting of the unsightly
poles on Main and Court streets. He
Is the original leader Of the move.
While sarvirg e- mayor he urged the
companies to take their poles and
wires away before any street paving
was done. In his efforts he had the
endorsement of the East Oregonian.
But time for action was limited,
the electric company was stubborn
and the mayor had little if any sup
port from his council. SO nothing was
accomplished. However the former
mayor has not forgotten the circum-
Ftances surrounding the matter and
his experience makes his advice es-
pecially worthy of attention at this
time.
Judge Fees suggestion is fine one
and it is timely. If the council will
not order the overhead wires re-
moved on Main and Court streets
then let the people do so themselves.
They have that power under the in
itiative
1t was for just such purposes as
this that the initiative was provided.
The object of the initiative is to fur
nish a way through which the people
may act directly when their public
servants fail to do their duty.
In the present instance the council
is being given ample opportunity to
get busy. The subject has been under
consideration for a long time and it
has been well discussed. 1t is a clean
cut fight between public welfare and
corporation greed and the council is
inclined TO stand with the corpor-
ations.
Il the council continues its present
course the people will be justified in
taking matters into their own hands
and in relegating the council to the
rear. There are many local people
who are sorry the people did not act
when the gas franchise was granted.
Ii the people had acted then we would
now be getting cheaper gas.
But our officials will do well to
think seriously before they force the
people TO act for themselves. The
corporations should also think seri-
ously before they bring on such ac-
ton. II an initiative measure is
drafted it will probably be rigid in
its requirements and it will not be
open 10 compromise or amendment.
There is no quibbling or haggling
when the people legislate.
As for the officials it would not be
pleasing for them to suffer repudi-
alton by the people. Nor is it likely
the people would stop by merely pass
ing an ordinance abolishing the over
head wires. IF they take matters in
to their own hands it is probable they
will make clean sweep by voting
the council out Of existence and by
supplanting it with the commission
form II government.
We have had corporation domina-
ton Of city affairs long enough II
l. time for a change even IL It takes
q whirlwind to do the work.

BEST HAIR TONIC

Freezing cold as a hair grower Is
recommended by Sir Ernest Shacgle-

Antarctic as proving his assertions
His men found that as they approach
ed the antipodes their hair became
longer and thicker. Moreover it was
observed that the inhabitants Of those
chilly regions were strangers to bald

corroborated by travellers in the Arc

There is a very good chance for

A New Disease Appears.

Poultrymen have been good deal
concerned the past few months over
the rather widespread appearance OF a
disease among poultry which has thus
far defied successful diagnosis. in
GLIDING cause and cure. 1t seems
to take both young ard old. and works
with suddenness.
Instances have been noted where
hens have been taken with the disease
and died within a few minutes after
laying. An examination of the dead
fowls seems to show a diseased condi-
ton of the liver. but what is RESPONSE
BILE TO: this Is not known.
