"NuSTOOKEN:"

The Irishman who appeared be-
fore Judge Phelps seeking naturan-
zation papers and declared George
Washington to be the president of the
United states was no worse mistaken
than a good American citizen who
was being examined for jury duty in
q murder trial and was asked if he
believed in capital punishment. ''No
! do NOT believe in capital punish
ment," he replied. "If a man is to be
hanged then hang him at the county
seat. Don't take him to the capi-
tai"
Nor was Judge Phelps Irishman
any less informed than was a gentle
man from Cold Springs who was try
ing to qualify as a juror in a murder
trial during the time Judge W. R.
Ellis was on the bench. The gentle
man from the northwest part of the
county had been on a trip to Tacoma
and when Col. Raley asked him if he
considered that the state should have
t. prove the defendant guilty or that
the defendant should be required to
prove his innocence replied, "I don't
know, 1 just got back from Tacoma
and don't know anything about this

AFTER \ FAIR DEAL.

In taking up campaign for
cheaper lights and power the Com
mercial club is doing work that should
result in tangible good to the city. If
the move is successful we will obtain
a reduction that will mean the saw
ing Of part of the many thousands
of dollars now paid the Pacific Power
& Light company every month.
1t is a matter of common report
and has been for a long time that
Pendleton patrons of the gas and ell
ectric company have not been treated
with the same liberality as have the
people of Walla Walla and other
towns in Washington. This is said to
b. true with reference to electricity
for lighting and power purposes and
Also with reference to gas.
Why is this? Is it right for the
company to give cheap rates to Wash
ington towns and then make its divi-
dends by charging high prices in
Pendleton? Certainly it is not. Pen
dleton does not wish to be the goat"
and will not be if local people can
help themselves.
And there are ways of helping our
selves if we have to use them. The
Iast legislature passed the Malarkey
public service commission bill and
when that law becomes operative the
railroad commission will have the
power to regulate the service and the
rates Of light, power and gas COM
panies. In all proba bility the COM
mission would rule that Pendleton is
entitled to the same rates as the
Washington towns.
Then there is another recourse open
TO the people of Pendleton. If pow
er and lights cannot be had at just
rates from the present company a
municipal electric plant may be in
stalled. BY going to the north fork
Of the Umatilla river ample power
may be obtained. Many good busi-
nessmen feel Pendleton should OBJ
tain and develop that power when it
constructs its mountain water sys-
tenn Fred Walters, the milling man,
has also suggested at times he might
develop additional power and sup
ply Pendleton with electricity.
But It is more than probable that
when fun attention IS called to the
inequality in the comparative rates
a reduction will be made for the
benefit Of the Pendleton patrons by
the Pacific power q Light company,
The managers Of that company are
capable and reasonable businessmen.
They know the people of this city
are but showing common business
sense in asking for lower rates and
that the PATRONS Of any public service
corporation are entitled to be heard
with reference to the rates charged
by such a corporation. II they have
d proper conception Of their own du-
ties in the matter they will feel no re-
sentiment that this subject has been
raised. On the contrary they will
meet our people frankly and openly
and grant such reductions as will be
Just and equitable.

the technicalities in connection with
the disposal of the high school bonds
should ,eriously block proceedings.
The people OF this city voted four to
one for new high school and only
the taxpayers were allowed to vote.
80 It is rretty conclusive that Pen
dIeton people desire a new high
school
That the bonds are good as a finan-
cial investment was readily proven
by the easy with which they were sold.
The Pendleton school bond issue was
disposed of on more favorable terms
than any other similar bond issue
sold in the northwest this year
The questions raised seem to per-
tain merely to the technical validity
Of the bonds. It seems about as hard
for bond issue to set through the
jungles of the law as for a camel to
get through the eye of the scriptural
needle.
If there is anything wrong with the
bond issue doubtless it can be reme-
died. Only it may mean the loss of
valuable time.

The Chicago Inter Ocean contained
very thoughtful and well-written
sermon on the History, Stasas and
Possible Destiny of the American Ne
gro" The sermon was very unique
In many respects. In the first place
It took the view that perhaps slavery
was not as bad an institution as we
have been taught to believe. But that
it might have been providentiai
plan to Introduce the African to west

through slavery and finally through
freedom to partake and enjoy the

After disposing Of the possible In

and having named Toussaint Lover
ture, Alexander Dumas. Fred Doug
lass and DR.. Booker T. Washington,
he urges the negro race to be proud
OF its members and to endeayor indi-
vidually to achieve and actualize the
high and worthy example OF the
| worlds famous leaders. Rev. j. M.

ton of the present status OF the col

In education and letters. going so far
as to name the number Of colleges
and other graduates, the number OF

ton that they had acquired since
freedom something over 5000, DOC, 600
in personal and real property; and
these facts show that no negro should
be discouraged because Of prejudice
and discrimination by many Of the
American people.
Perhaps the most significant feature
OF this distinguished sermon was the
! possible disclosure OF what might be
termed the International Mission sug
4 gested by the presence of the negro
In the midst Of the American people
The author Of the sermon was In
clined to the view that 1t was the pos
