FISH AND GAME.

Life is not all work. There must
be some play ana to the average man
fine recreation may be had in whip
ping trout stream or in hiking over
hills and canyons after game. To
fish or hunt is good sport and it
adds to the health and happiness Of
mankind.
But if fishing and hunting are to be
continued as a permanent thing in
Cmatilla county and in other Sec
tions then the proper steps must be
taken for restocking the streams and
for protecting the game at the pro-
Per seasons. Local sportsmen, led By
their member of the fish and game
commission, are seeking to have a
hatchery installed at Gibbon. 1t is a
good move and should succeed. In
the course Of time this county will
have far greater population than
ia. present. Those people viii need
recreation just as people do now
Look to the future by installing the
hatchery and by such an enforcement
OF the game laws as will prevent the
determination Of the game.

A HEROIC FIRE CHIEF.

When Fire Chief Dave Campbell
was killed in the Portland fire yes-
terday morning there was enacted a
tragedy that shocked the entire north
west. Campbell had been so long at
the head Of the Portland department
and had such a splendid record for
efficiency that his fame had spread
far beyond the borders Of the city Of
Portland There are many local peo-
pie who knew the chief and who feel
genuine regret over his death.
But death is a fate that IS liable

WHILE WE ARE AT IT.

Now that people are considering
the subject of the Pacific Power &
Light company and the prices given
its patrons it will be timely to con-
sider one or two other features in
connection with the service rendered
by the light company.
There mas long been complaint and
just complaint because street lights
do not burn continuously. Scarcely
night goes by but some Of the arc
lights fail TO burn and frequently the
smaller street lights fail to shine. At
times several lights in a row on one
street will be out of business and
the street left in inky darkness.
Does the city receive a rebate on
its monthly bill to make up for this
lack Of illumination? If so the East
oregonian is in ignorance of the fact
What is the rule in other places with
reference to this subject and what
prices do other cities pay for street
lighting? 1t is a subject that should
be investigated, not with a view to
hazing the electric company need
iessly but with a view to obtaining
for Pendleton the very best service
possible and the lowest obtainable
rates.

long been desired by local people and
one that should be insisted upon now
that further street paving is to be
done is the removal of the electric
and telephone poles from Main street
Those poles are unsightly, they spoil
the appearance Of the street and the
effect Of the cluster lights. Further
more the overhead wires are danger
Gus. Every time a fire occurs on
Main street the lives Of firemen and
Of bystalders are menaced through
the existence Of the overhead electric
wires
At Walla Walla and in many other
towns there are no electric or tele-
phone poles on the business streets.
They should be ousted in Pendleton.
The telephone trust and the electric
trust are owned by eastern multi
miHionaires who have so much mon
ey they will never be able to count
By requiring these companies to place
their wires underground or on the
back streets.
Get the poles and overhead wires
off Main street and install cluster
lights at regular intervals along the
street. Then Pendleton viii look its
part as the Biggest town Of its size

THE WRITTEN WORD.

II is assented to by the authorities
OF the world that the written word
has come to be of vastly greater i'm
portance than oratory. A mans
emotions may be aroused through
oratory. The orator can make him
feel the extreme injustice OF the pres
ent system. He may picture the ad-
vantages and beauties OF the Cooper
ative Commonwealth. But all that is
not sufficient II takes more than
. rebeiiious individualist or an i'm
practical enthusiast to make an eff
cient Socialist.
To become an efficient Socialist one
needs a change throughout his entire
system-a change OF heart and OF
head.
Such a change means a revolution
OF the mind. Such a change cannot
be brought about over night. II can
be accomplished only through con-
stant effort. II can be effected only
through literature literature Of the
highest quality.

Taft's action is the result of Berger's

Calls It Kidnapping.

The Senate Committee on the Ad-
ministration Of Criminal Law by Fed.
eral Officials characterizes extradition
methods such as had been used in the
Mcnamara case as ordinary kidnap-
ping.
In a report to the Senate this COM
mittee says:
IF the court. before whom the per
son charged with crime is brought.
In reality has no jurisdiction and the
person is deprived of any opportunity
to test that question by reason OF his
hasty transportation to and custody in
a remote part Of the Unites States. he
has to all intents and purpose been
kidnapped. and such person would
seem to have been deprived OF his
liberty without due process OF law"
The committee further says:
I'VE recommend to the considera-
ton of Congress whether Congress can
not constitutionally provide some REM
edy against the possibility of injust-
Ice in the execution of extradition un-
der Section OF Article Nv OF the Con.
stitution of the United States. either

with a crime shall not be removed
from the State in which he Is found
within a certain number of days. thus
sffording him an opportunity TO test

diction in habeas corpus proceedings.
or in some other manner II authority
for any such exists
The foregoing was signed by all the
members Of the committee. Borah,
who was the prosecutor in the famous
Haywood case. wrote that part OF the
report which relates to extradition
matters.
There is no doubt that the Senate
committeee's report and recommend
ations will have great influence on the
House Committee on Judiciary which
has charge OF Berger's anti-kidnap-
ping bill. 1t is generally believed that
Congress will pass a law against Of
fical kidnapping in the near future.
