Roosevelt is running as a progress

he advocates is not progressive at
all; in its essential planks it is re-

Golfers Weekly, perhaps the most
pronounced progressive magazine in
America is supporting Woodrow Will
son in this campaign and opposes the
bull moose plan for handling the
trusts. In the last issue Golfers
said:
Without Industrial liberty the Am
erican ideals of social and
industria! justice are unattain-
able. We fear the new party
plan of legalizing industrial mono
poles would unwittingly become the
instrument Of industrial servitude.
America seeks for its workingmen
shorter hours, higher wages and bet

Of industrial democracy; but the new
party offers them as a substitute for
Industrial democracy. It asks us to
abandon the America ideal of in
dustrial liberty and to establish the
German practice Of benevolent in
dustrial despotism-to enthrone mo-
nopoly made good by law"

1t may be very presumptious for
anyone to criticise the actions of a
grand jury, but it is
Do They Want the opinion of the
To Make East Oregonian that
Grating Easy? the people of Una
/ tilla county will not
for one moment stand for the position
that appears to have been taken by
the grand jury that Investigated the
Umatilla bridge.
The whole bridge question as this
paper understands the matter hinges
on whether the old county court had
right under the law to completely
change the plans for the Umatilla
bridge and then let a new contract
without advertising for bids. Here is
an extract from the grand jury's re-
port upon this point:
"The law was construed to mean
that If both parties to the contract
agreed the contract should be an
nulled and the work done by the
county buying the material and build
ing a bridge under the direction of
a superintendent.
Accordingly contract, or an
agreement for material and labor
was entered into or written order
was given to the man who still held
the contract for building the first
proposed bridge, provided he would
release the court from the first con-
tract, and the present bridge at UNA
tilla was constructed under this pro-
vision Of the law at a cost of $13,-
O7O,OO."
To the East Oregonian that reads
like a plain recital of violation Of
the law and If so it is amazing the
grand jury did not return indictments
against those responsible.
Since the grand jury did not return
indictments it seems fair to assume
they consider the transaction o. k.
In other words when the county court
wants to let a big contract sub rosa
all the court has to do is to claim
IL is doing the work itself and to let
a contract to someone for the ina

The worst feature about the Una

to the effect that the bridge that was

sUPERFLUOUS WEALTH.

formed people that regardless of what
contributed to the third party upris-
ing the bull moose program as ad-
opted had its origin not with the peo-
lie but with the great industries
themselves. AS it is being conducted
the bull moose move is not an ad-
vance by the people against the in
justice of capital. 1t is Plutocracy's
own line of defence. 1t is called pro-
gressive but the people will not be
acting progressively if they adopt the
bull moose plan They will be re-
treating and laying down" before
the masters of capital and industry
who themselves should be brought
to time. The trusts wont mind be-
ing regulated by commissions named
by themselves and particularly so as
long as their tariff privileges are not
curtailed and their inflated capitali-
cations are allowed to stand.
Instead of legalizing the great
trusts as they stand and thus fasten-
ing system of industrial feudalism
more securely upon the country the
people should vote to remove
the tariff privileges under which
trust magnates have grown fabulously
and unjustly rich and then see that
criminal proceedings are taken to
stop those who would monopolize in
dustries and restrain trade to the in
jury of the public
That is the program advocated by
Woodrow Wilson. The election of
Wilson will mean a sincere attempt at
government by the people and for the
PEOPLE a bull moose triumph will
mean the election of a president who
stands for government by big busi-
ress with the chief aim not to equal
izc conditions by the abolition of
special privilege but to see that those
who sit at the top of the pile are not
disturbed though asked to give an oc-
casional handout to the struggling
mass below.

Jackson street is one of the most
used thoroughfares in the city and it
is sadly in need of paving. From a
standpoint of use Jackson street
needs improving worse than did West

completed the need of Improvement
on Jackson street will be greatly en-
phasized. Pendleton will come in for
some severe criticism if that street is

the bridge.
If such exceedingly raw evasions of
the law are TO be approved by a
grand jury it is easy to see what a
magnificent chance the county court
will have to do al sorts of first class
grating
If we are going To have such laxity
as that why not go little farther
and just open the county money bags
and tell the bridge sellers to take what
they want.
There is need of more light on the
Umatilla bridge case and the atti-
tude taken towards that case by the
grand jury.

TAKES ISSUE
 WITH DR. FOSTER
Local Physician With Years of Experience Contradicts
 the Report

Editor Valdez Daily ProspcctoT.
 Dear Sir: In your issue of yes terday (Jan. 3lJ you published a news communication from Seat llc giving Dr. Fosters opinion up- on the general health of the pop ulatiOn of Alaska tO the effect that one-half of the entire population, whit" and native. are now suf- fcring from 'tubcI Gulosis and that he believes this disease is caused by the intense cold in the far north and the quick changes of temperature on the coast section, etc. I suppose it is Dr. Foster who is with the bureau of cdu- cation for natives of Alaska.
 As an Alaskan who has been here over i2 years practicing medicine, visiting nearly every section of the country, cannot, with due justice tO the white pop ulation, refrain from expressing my opinions as to Dr. Fosters sweeping statement. If the re- port is true that hc said 'half the population are stricken with the white plague" he could not have based his opinion upon facts, nor could hc verify it either by actual statistics, nor the opinions of any physicians who practice medicine in this vicinity from Xctchikan lO Seward peninsula.
 conccde that his statement might hold true of the natives, who arc stricken with various chronic and regcncratinR dis eases, but there are no healthier communities and more sturdy people, who could resist tho ray ages of any disease, than the white population of this territory. In my eight years of large prac- tice on this coast have yet to see one tubercular case in which this disease was begun or caused by any climatic conditions. The

Shanghai, China, Feb. 1.--It is claimed that the Standard Oil company of America is respOn- :Sible for the overthrow of the i'm perial government.

The claim of the imperialists that the rebels have pledged the oil resources to the foreign concern is given credcnce by Europeans.
