.LoRIMER REGULARITY,"

In the following editorial the Chi
cago Record Herald draws the cloak
OFF "Lorimorism" and shows the peo-
pie what they may expect from those
who pirate so loudly with their mouths
of party patriotism and party regu-
lcriU:
William Lorimer has been stump
ing the states as the most regular
and stalwart republican. He has
been appealing to genuine" 100 per
cent republicans in behalf of the party
that is threatened by insurgent or in
dependent republicans. He is playing
the role of an inspirer and organizer
of pure" party victory.
According to Thomas Tippit, demo-
cratic leader and head of a faction,
-'sMr. Lorimer met with she state ex-
cutive committee" in 1905 after the
defeat of Yates at the primaries and
entered into an agreement to elect
Adlai Stevenson
Here is Lorimerism in its quintes-
sence Here is political treachery
and hypocrisy distilled and strikingly
exemplified Lorimer was not an
open bolter; he was too regular" or
needed regularity as a label in his
business too much, To declare frankly
that he preferred Stevenson to De-
neen. He remained regular" to all
appearances, but he held secret meet
ings with the democratic committee
and agreed to knife Deneen.
The right to vote as an independ-
ent. or to bolt particular ticket, is
recognized by all sane and honest men
but there is no such thing as the right
to deceive, betray, plot against ones
party while posing as the most i'm
movable of regulars.
"Lorimerism" is nothing but bi'
partisan organization for pelf. ~
policy is addition, division and con
spiraey.

WHY SUCR APATHY

In the fight he is making to es-
tablish the right to use water from
the Umatilla river for irrigating res
ervation lands william Caldweli
should not be alone. 1t is a fight
not only for his own rights but for
the rights Of the Indians and fight
for the development and settlement
of the reservation. The United
States government should be wagins
that fight Plainly it is the duty of
the government to prove the rights
OF the Indians. Why has it not done
so? Why are the governments at
torneys not acting with more vigor
row? Is the government going to
continue its policy of apathy? These
questions will have to be answered
very shortly and the answers are go
ing to be awaited with interest. When
they come they will disclose whether
or not all the rottenness of the world
has been confined to Denmark.

"BAKER AT THE BAT.

with sincere regards to the immortal
Casey.)
The outlook sure was dismal for
Macks great nine that day,
With the score at one to nothing and
just one more round to play;
And then when Collins died at first
and walked back with a frown,
There was gloom in every gesture of
the fans from Quakertown.
The Gotham bugs were leaving for
they thought the game was won;
Didn't Matty, peerless Matty. have
'em stopped without run?
Then a silent youth named Baker
came to bat and toed the plate,
His eagle eye was cleaning and his
batting poise was great.
But Matty. peerless Matty. had pre-
dicted what he'd do
To this same Baker fellow, for his
weakness sure he knew.
There'd be no repetition of ball
knocked from the yard,
For twas Matty who was pitchin,
not the rattle-brained Marquard.
SO Matty, peerless Matty. signaled
Meyers and touched his hat,
While he wound up for the fade
away" with Baker at the bat.
The bali tore straight across the plate
and Matty's grin was wide,
For the "fade-away" was workin',
"Srike one" the Umpire cried.
"In sneak a fast one over now and
make it number two
Thought Matty, as the horsehide to-
ward the waiting Baker flew.
The rest is better left unsaid, tits sad
when we recall
That over near the Polo grounds they
still hunt for that ball
For Baker. mighty Baker, with a sure
and deadly aim,
Has knocked another homer and the
crowd has gone insane
His teammates fall on Matty in an
other round or two,
And the game comes back to Philly
by a score of three two two.
Oh! somewhere they still sell gold
bricks to simple country folk,

And somewhere little "glooms" abide,
while busy spielers hawk,
But they never mention Bakers name

oh. Casey, famous Casey, man who
brought to Mudville fame,
Creature taught to us since childhood
but without an authors name,-

HOW TO CURE
POISON

Contagious Blood Poison is a
Uirulent germ, and like most other
bacterial organisms, is very difficult
to hill or destroy within the system.
1t would therefore be useless to en-
deaDor TO cure the disease with some
strong medicine intended to destroy
the disease blood cells and uirus.
The proper wqy-the only way-is
to REMOVE the germs and poisons
from the blood by purifying the cir
culation. Thousands have cured
themselves of this powerful disease
by the use of S. S. S., the greatest
of all vegetable blood purifiers.
This is a medicine of unquestioned
ability in the treatment of Conta-
gious Blood Poison. For more than
forty years it has been prepared
and sold as a cure for this trouble,
and not only its efficacy, but the
fact that it does NOT contain a par
ticle of mineral, or other harmful
drug, should be an inducement to
any Contagious Blood Poison suffer-
er to begin its use. S. S. S. goes
right down into the circulation, and
removes every trace of the destructive
virus. 1t heals all sores, stops falling
hair, and by cleansing and enriching
the blood, soon clears the body of
every symptom. Home Treatment
book and any medical advice free.
S. S. S. is sold at drug stores.

THEY ARE LEARNING.

The Pilot Rock Record apd the
Portland oregonian are becoming
agitated because they do not know
whom this paper will support for
president The Record wants to know
if the East Oregonian will support La
Toilette if ne is nominated by the re-
publicans and the Oregonian, cuckoo
like, takes sd the song.
OF course the question is hypo-
thetical one and no answer is neces-
sary. Nor is one expected. The
Record and the Oregonian think they
have placed this paper lin a hole
But they haven't.
When the proper time comes the
East Oregonian will decide on whom
it favors for president. Obviously
that time will not arrive until it is
known who are to be the candidates
and until their platforms are an
nounced. The Record smirkingly an
nCunces now whom it Will support
and apparently thinks it is entitled
10 a head mark for its action. But
Intelligent people will only sigh at
such obtuseness.
The point the Oregonian and the
Record both try to make is that this
paper should not advise republicans
whom to support for president un
less it is willing to take oath to sup
port the party nominee. If the Ore
gonian and the Record would use
their brains instead of their skulls
when they try to think they would
not make such mistakes.
The East Oregonian wants to see
Il Toilette nominated by the repub-
licans because he is a progressive and
is a strong champion of the common
good. For similar reasons this pa
per would like TO see Woodrow Will
sen or some other progressive named
for president by the democrats. II.
both parties name good men the
country viii be safe no matter who
IS chosen and it will matter but lit
tlr who is elected.
Those who support special privilege
work upon this same theory only they
seek the opposite end. They try and
are trying now to have reactionaries
named by both big parties. They
want Taft named by the republicans
and Harmon by the democrats. II
such nominations are made "Big Bus
iness" won't worry much over who is
chosen by the people. 1t will be for
them a case of heads 1 win and tails
you lose"
The great trouble with people in |
beth parties is that they allow them
selves TO be so worked very frequent
j. They are prone TO neglect the |
primary elections and at the general |
elections 10 place partisanship above 1
real principles. To the extent they
do so they are foolish.
In their efforts to place this pa
per "in hole" the Oregonian and the
Pilot Rock Record are going on the |
assumption that the majority Of peo- |
pie are stlll jack asses. They may be |
but there are strong indications TO the !
contrary. 1t is a hopeful feature Of
the present political outlook that the
people are actually taking notice Of
affairs and doing some real thinking.
If they will but keep the process go-
ing long enough they will work out
their salvation very nicely and Incl

vicinity of the court house will no
longer be annoyed by the cries of
Carl Weems, the self-confessed muir
derer of Lee Cantril. Left in the
custody of the sheriff the prisoner
was a nuisance in the Jail and had
annoyed everyone within sound Of
his voice. Sheriff Carter took the
matter up with the state board of
control and was granted permission
to remove Weems to the state peni-
tentiary where he will be detained
in the insane ward at the expense of
Whitman county. He is still under
the jurisdiction of the Whitman
county superior court and may be re-
turned at any time.
Deputy Sheriff ]. B. Eastep made
the trip TO Walla Walla with Weems
Monday and had no trouble in turn
ing the prisoner over to the warden
who had been instructed to receive
him. Should Weems regain his men

will be kept in the insane ward al

Whitman County's sixteenth an
nual fair Will open next Monday
morning and continue all week.
Messrs. Bloom and Lippitt, the COM
mittee delegated to provide funds,
have been successful in raising a lib
eral amount. Many open air free at
fractions have been secured Liberal
purses have induced a large number
OF racing men to enter their horses.
Farmers and others are planning to
bring large exhibits. Carnival and
concession men, realizing that large
crowds will be in attendance, have
engaged space. The prospect is good
for the largest and best fair ever
held at Colfax. Apparently nothing
but adverse weather conditions can
interfere with the success of the an
nual event-and we are hoping for
a smile from the weather man.
A round trip rate of one and one
third fare has been secured from all
points in the county on both the o.
w. r. & \. and Inland roads. Special
train service on the Inland will carry
people to the grounds every 20 min
utes. Hotels and roOming houses
are planning for a rush of business
into town specially for the increased
business of fair week.
Music by the Tekoa band will en-
liven the town every morning and
evening beginning with Tuesday The
band will be on the fair ground every
day.
Many outside attractions and a
long racing program have more than
filled the afternoons and it will be
necessary for the crowds to go to
the grounds as early as II o'clock to
avoid missing any of the perform
anc0s.
Manager Bloom has been success
full in securing the Parker Carnival
company, who will be here with
eight carloads of attractions. Other
attractions viii be the Plantation
COeur d Alene Indians, Dare Devil
Kohl in his balloon ascension and
parachute drop and his sensational
slide for life, Ruben Bowers with his
flying machine, Buffalo" Vernon

the corral in the center Of the
grounds, saddle the horse and lead
it TO the starting line and on signal
of the bell, mount and ride around
the track. The first horse around

brought to Colfax Friday afternoon
in an automobile by gang of fresh
men while the class fight was in
progress on the college campus.
Peterson broke away from his cap
tors at Cornelius garage and fed
down Mai nstreet eluding his pur-
suers. He succeeded in hiring an
automobile and returning to Pull
man in time to witness most of the
fight. The freshmen class president
was taken into the country seven
miles from Pullman by a gang of
sophomores and "ditched." He
walked back to Pullman, arriving af-

new COUNTY FARM soon
READY FOR OCCUPANCY
COMPLETION OF SEWER AND
BARN ALL THAT REMAINS UN-
DONE

By the end of this month the new
county farm on the Almota road near
the city of COlfaX will be ready for
occupancy by the poor who are now
on the old county farm at Elberton.
Wright 4 Tierney are under contract
TO complete the sewer connecting the
main building on the new farm with
the city sewer system by Oct. 20 or
forfeit $5 for every day beyond that
time required to complete the work
A. II. Martin has the new basement
barn well under way and will doubt
less have the building completed be-
fore the expiration of the time limit
on his contract, which is November l.
Since last November T. H. McKin-
ney, the county nurse, has been liv-
ing on the new farm and spending
his spare time in putting the finish
ing touches on the new building. This
week he completed the task of finish
ing the woodwork in hard oil. He
does not profess to be painter, but
he has done a good job with the
brush, and the whole building shows
good care
The interior of the building is fin
ished in Oregon fir and pure white
plaster which, with the large win
dOWS, give the interior a cheerful ap-
pearance. The second floor will be
devoted entirely to the inmates and
contains several large sleeping and
! lOunging rooms, a hospital room, sun
parlOr, bath room and a padded cell
for the detention of insane inmates.
On the first floor is the well-eQuipped
kitchen and large dining room, as
well as the living rooms for the su-
perintendent and his family. A mod
ern steam heating plant is installed
in the basement for heating the
whole building. The basement al
SO contains separate rooms for vege
tables, meat, milk, and fuel as
well as a large laundry and shower
bath. Electric lights are install
led all over the house and are
controlled from the superintend-
ent's office. 1t is estimated that
the building will comfortably house
% inmates.
The new basement barn SO by As
feet is a model for a diversified farm.
1t contains stalls for three horses
besides a large box stall, stalls for
four COWS and plenty of room for
wagons, tools, feed and loose hay.
Near the house field Of less than
four acres produced 81 sacks of fine
clean oats this season. A 20-acre
field of alfalfa will be in fine condi-
tiOn next year.
From A large spring walled up
with brick, fine stream of water is
piped into a reservoir IA feet deep
and 16 feet in diameter at the lower
corner of the farm. Here pump
has been erected over the reservoir
and two-horse gasoline engine
forces the water to another reser-
voir with a capacity of $50 gallons,
on the hill above the house and barn.
A gravity system from this reservoir
carries the water to all parts Of the
main building and line will soon
be laid to the new barn. The pump
house is wired for electric connec-
ton and the engine will probably be
used for running feed mill and
cutter
