East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1912-08-31

Neither the East Oregonian nor
anyone in Pendleton wants to sup
press information relating to the
branch hospital location. We do
object, however, and have a good
right to object to the utterly unfair
and biased reports that have been
published and which plainly owe their
origin not to any desire to give peo-
pie the truth about the branch hos
pital but rather to prejudice them
against it and against Pendleton. =
The Oregonian did not stop with
publication of DIR. Halls criticisms.
1t followed up with numerous stories
from Salem all of an unfavorable
tenor and all tending to unjustly al
ign people against the Eastern Ore
gon hospital Last Sunday the Port
land paper published story that was
particularly unfair 1t set up alleged
immense difficulties in connection
with the management of the new in
sane hospital. 1t said the state had
little or no agricultural land and to
estimate the probable price of needed
land took as a basis the price paid
for a little tract directly adjoining the
city and which had to be condemned
On that basis it estimated it would
cost the state something like 100000
to secure needed land. That story
was not a statement of the facts. 1t
was plain perversion by someone. If
the Oregonian is not prompted by
animosity towards the branch hospital
it should not allow its Salem cores
pondent to run so wild and loose.
There is nothing in newspaper ethics
that requires a paper to use every
thing that comes to its mill regardless
of how unfair it may be or what mo-
tive there may be back of an attack
that is made On the contrary it IS
the editorial function to detect and
guard against stories inspired by peo-
pie having lakes to grind" as is
surely true Of those who are making
such continuous assaults on the
branch hospital.
If the Portland morning paper
wants information relating to the
branch hospital location it can get it
more accurately from Pendleton than
from Salem or La Grande. If it will
send a representative here he will
find that there is an abundance Of
agricultural land available II the state
wants it. He will also find that our
present water supply, now much criti-
,ised, IS not so terrible after all, that |
he city has been engaged for some |
line in preliminary work towards |
mountain water to the city |
and to the branch hospital and that |
bonds for the work were voted by !
he people many months ago. !

manifest that the jury could not well
have acted otherwise. As a general
rule an accused man who has means
at his command can defeat the gal
lows or the electric chair. 1t is a
weakness in our judicial system that
we allow men to take their worldly
goods with them when they go into
court. 1t is not the way to secure
justice.
The fact the death penalty has
come to be so unfairly imposed no
doubt has much to do with the fast

NEW YORK, May 1S-Weak cables
and reports of weather improvement over
the Southern belt caused a decline of from
to points at the opening of the cotton
market today There was considerable
liquidation in the near months. After
the call, Southern buying caused a slight
rally. Futures and spot were easier in
Liverpool.
On the opening trade was light and
selling rather general. After the call
some very good buying came from com
mission and spot houses but the ring
operators being against the market at
the moment, 1t is sold freely on all rail-
lies. The map indicates more favorable
weather and there is not much support for
that reason.
There was little support in the late
