AN IMPORTANT SUBJECT.


At the Commercial club rooms a
meeting will be held this evening for
the purpose of considering the propo-
sition of having the people vote this
winter upon the commission form of
government for Pendleton.
1t is a live question and one that
is now being discussed in almost every
city. large or small, in the country
Scores of municipalities have already
adopted the plan and it is found to
work well in every town where it has
been adopted.
This IS but natural because the
commission plan is a real improve
ment over the old system. The COM
mission plan of government places
city government upon a businesslike
basis. It concentrates responsibility,
it eliminates ward politics and it pro-
vides for paying public servants reas-
enable salaries for the work they do.
1t looks to bringing more capable men
out for office and in general way is
a move for efficiency.
How the commission plan of gov
ernment will appeal to Pendleton re-
mains TO be seen. It is apparent how
ever that there is a strong sentiment
among prominent men in favor of the
commission idea. This sentiment is
especially prevalent among those who
have had opportunity to observe the
shortcomings and the weaknesses OF
the plan now in use.
It is the prediction of this paper
that if a commission charter is ad-
opted with proper care and with a
view to meeting local conditions as
they actually exist that the plan will
be adopted by the people
Pendleton is a progressive little city
ard the people are not afraid to take
a forward step when they see tha
the way is clear and safe.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY SKETCH.

George Woodward Wickersham, Of
New York City, Attorney General Of
the United states, is fifty-three years
old today. He was born September
10, 1858, and graduated from the law
department of the University of Pen
nsylvania in 1850, receiving the de-
gree of LII. B. In 1901 that university
conferred upon him the honorary de-
gree of master of arts. Previous to
graduation he had been admitted to
the Philadelphia bar and practised
there until 1882, when he moved to
New York City, and in 1888, entered
the old-established law firm of
Strong & Cadwalader. He was ad-
mitted four years later to a partner
ship in the firm. which connection he
terminated upon becoming Attorney
General, to which position he was ap-
pointed, March 5. 1909.
Mr.. Wickersham has had extensive
dealings with corporations and some
criticism was made of his appoint
ment at the time because of that fact,
but some of the governments most
| important cases against the so-called
trusts have been won since he became
head of the Department of Justice.

WOULD BE GOOD RADIANCE.

To grant independence to the Phil
igpines is the object Of a resolution
fathered by Judge Cyrus Cline of In
diana and which Speaker Champ
Clark says will very likely pass the
house this winter.
Under the plan proposed by the
resolution the Filippinos will be
allowed to elect the upper branch of
their legislature in 1915 and to adopt
a constitution in 1917-the same to
be approved by the United States. BY
ia Iy 1920 the United States will for
maly withdraw sovereignty over the
islands and permit the people to es-
tablish an independent representative
government.
Whether or not the Cline resolution
will succeed in passing the senate re-
mains TO be seen. 1t seems doubtful
Of passage as long as there is a re.
publican majority in the senate. MOI
is it likely President Taft would ap
prove Of bill granting independence
10 the PHILIPPINES. But in the event o
the election Of a democratic presi
dent It would not be surprising should
such action be taken.
Beyond question there Is power
full sentiment throughout the countr,
in favor OF Philippine independence
Many favor granting independence =
the islands-not because American
sovereignty is unjust to the Filipino
but because # is expensive and dan
gerous from an American standpoint

MY BROTHER ED.

My brother Ed is deaf and dumb;
but goodness! he is bright
Why, he can figure any sum when he
is feeling right.
And quick of thought. Why, honest
ly, ne thinks before ne speaks,
And oftentimes he thinks ahead for
half dozen weeks.
One day while it was raining Edward
ambled down the street;
Each man he saw had turned his
trousers up above his feet.
Now Edwards pants were much
too short-h,s pants were num-
Der threes-
And should he turn 'em up why, they
would "ome above his knees
And so, while he could not contrive
to double Up his clothes
He laughted at his predicament, and
then turned up his nose.
One ---S... "A-ic rua."!as ,drod7. 49,,
woods a grizzley bear
What could he do. He couldn't shout
and scare the bear away,
And as the night was early, well. he
couldn't wait for day.
"A noise, a shout" he softly thought.
My kingdom ror a shout"
But that was all the good it did; he
couldn't get it out.
And then thought occurred to him
that knocked him off his pins,
| and over logs and rocks he fell and
loudly barked his shins
/ OF course the barking scared the bear
which turned his tail and fled.
Which also helps to turn this tale
which helped my brother Ed.

WE'LL SUPPLIED.

A young woman of Baltimore who
recently entered upon the happy state
knows so little about housekeeping
that she shudders lest the butcher and
baker and the rest of the tradesmen
discover her ignorance. She orders
only articles with which she has some
acquaintance. and ends her business
interviews as quickly as possible.
On one occasion this young wife
was feeling rather puffed up by rea-
son of some newly acquired knowledge
of things domestic, when the ashman
came through the street, uttering his
usual cry:
"Ash-eesl Ash-ees!'
AS the man neared her window she
grew more and more perplexed. "What
or earth is he saying?" she asked her

a cartoon in the Journal of Septem'
ber is illustrates a condition that ex-
lists in Oregon but which should not
exist 1t represents the people of
Oregon handing $6,0OO,OOO each year
to the farmers of Nebraska for hogs
while the oregon hog growing indus
try languishes from lack of proper
attention.
There are good possibilities open to
the farmers of eastern Oregon along
this line. 1t is not necessary for far
iners to sell their wheat as a cereal
ami cften sell it at unsatisfactory
prices Wheat may be fed to hogs at
Il profit. 1t is also declared by men
who should know that field peas may
be raised on the summer fallow lands
in Umatilla county and the crop hog
ged off early in the summer in suf-
ficient time to permit of summer fall
lowing the land. In other words a
crop of field peas may be raised and
fed to hogs without diminishing the
chances for a successful wheat crop
tie following summer.
Why not raise more hogs in this
state? Why spend 100000 annual
IL with Nebraska farmers for hogs

door. and there she confronted him.
"Ash-ees?" came in husky guttur-
al voice.
For a moment she looked at him
hesitatingly. Then, drawing herself
up with great dignity. she replied;
mo, do not care for any today"

Donald Fitz Gerald is in trouble in
Spokane and this brings certain fell
lows to again misrepresent his connec-
ticn with the Washington-Orego
traction company and with local peo-
pie who tried to assist that company
to bring a new power supply to Pen
dleton and to build interurban lines
out of this city. Samuel Drumheller
and associates were the parties back
Of the Westinghouse company
and they are still busy with their en-
terprise. Apparently some people
here are yet fearful they will succeed
with their scheme. How terrible it
would be should the electric trust
have a rival in the local field! 1t
might then have to reduce lighting
rates downwards instead of upwards.

The game laws seem to be for

away on. This is the latest.
One of the game bills which is
attracting a good deal Of atten-
ton is a measure providing that
it shall be unlawful for any boy
under lineage Of IS years to hunt
without the companionship of
an older person. 1t provides
that no license to hunt game
shall be issued to a boy under Is
years, except it contains a pro-
viso requiring person OF ma
ture years to be with the boy
when hunting.
