A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.

What the county is trying to do at
the poor farm towards pumping irrr-
cation water by means Of electricity
could be done on hundreds of farms
in the better portions of Umatilla
county. on nearly all the farms in
this section wells may be dug and
used to provide water for irrigation
purposes. The line of the electric
company runs directly through the
richest portion of the county and so
the electricity is available. If the
electric company wont sell the cur
rent at sufficiently low rates then the
farmers can become boosters for
Pendletons contemplated municipal
plant Regardless of whether the
electric business remains privately
controlled or is taken over by the
city it is certainly a fact that vast de-
velopment may be brought about
through use of more electricity on
Umatilla county farms.

THE LARGEST WATERFALL.

At one time waterfalls in large
rivers were interesting only because
Of their scenic beauty and their very
existence was deplored because they
obstructed navigation. But man has
found a way to harness these mighty
power producers and today they are
OF the greatest value to the CONNER
cial world because the millions of wa
ter horse power can be changed into
electricity and transmitted for hun
dreds of miles to be used as a reli-
able substitute for our vanishing coal
supply.
When it is remembered that two
cubic feet of water, weighing one
hundred and twenty-five pounds, by
falling a distance of only six feet,
will produce one horse power of en-
ergy, it is easy to comprehend that
millions and millions of horse power
are wasted every minute by the tor
rents of water tumblng over Niagara,
the Victoria Falls and the Igussu river
and many lesser falls throughout the
world. This falling water is guided
by steel and concrete penstocks to
powerful water turbines which whirl
great electric generators. The current
produced in this way is easily trans
mitted for hundreds of miles over
small copper wires to the cities and
towns where it Is used to haul the
railroad trains, to drive the great
manufacturing plants and to give us
light and heat.

BEACH is \ POOR PICKER.

Rex Beach, the author admits that
as a judge of human nature he is a
polar frost When he was in Alaska
as young man, he needed a partner
to go in on an eligible wood chopping
speculation with him. He picked one
wide browed, pure-eyed, candid, clean
minded fellow, and they worked to-
gether in peace and good fellowship
for months One day the vigilantes
called on them. I'VE amt got moth
in against you, Beach," said they.
But we feel that this here partner
of yourn, having been run out of
every other camp in Alaska for crimes
running from s,uice robbing to MUIR
der, had better move on
Beach got over this shock and got
another partner. He told Beach an
affecting story of the little wife he
had left back in the states, and for
whom he was desperately striving to
win a stake. They used to mingle
their sobs over the campfire at night
as they fought mosquitoes and swap
ped "reminiscences. BY and by Beach
began to observe that, while the story
of the little wife was always tear
compelling the little wife was rarely
the same. Sometimes she was blonde
and. sometimes burnnette, and some
times of one religion and sometimes
of another, and she had been left at
every postoffice between Seattle and
Chicago. How many little wives
did you leave behind, anyhow"
he asked his partner one night.
We'll" said the partner I've
been indicted seven times for bigamy
and there's two others they amt got
onto."-Cincinnat Times Star.

THE TIRED BUSINESS MAN.

Now, let us consider this bugaboO
of the Tired Business Man. The
theatrical managers yelp about him
continually.
why do you produce nothing but
musical comedy?" we ask.
"Oh, we must cater to the tired
business man.
why must the libretto be in words
OF one syllable %
You see, we cater to the tired bus
iness man"
NO doubt that accounts for these
feeble plots
Yes; we cater to the tired busi-
ress man."
But does the tired business man
get all this consideration when he
goes to the ball park? No; he sits
on the hard benches and roots like
the rest of us. The Tired Business
Man is a myth.

VOTES FOR WOMEN

There seems to be some confusion
in the minds of many people as to
"who are interested" in equal suffrage
and women like Charlotte Cartlett
Crane, Julia Lathrop and Jane Ad-
dams are quoted by our anti and in
different friends as having accom-
plished great good without the help
of the ballot.
But Jane Adams Says that "the
ballot alone can secure for women
the safeguards and consideration
which she needs in every walk of life.'
Is there any one who knows better the
needs OF women? And is it of no sig
nificance to the Indifferent that the
glorious procession of women who
stood for progress and who did pio-
neer work in educational, social and
philanthropic reform, and those who
are now carrying on these various ac-
tivities so fitted to women's abilities,
have been and are, all committed to
the idea OF political equality"
To mention only a few of them,
dating back to the civil war, Elizabeth
Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, DR..
Elizabeth Blackwell, Julia Ward
Howe, Clara Barton, Lucretia Mott,
Mary Livermore, Florence Kelly, JUL
ia Lathrop, Ella Flagg Young, Mrs.
Grenfell and Jane Adams. We all
thrill with pride and enthusiasm
when we consider the ideals for
which these fine, splendid women
stand.
They are all suffragists and it is
the confidence of their belief that
lends hope and courage to us, stin
to go on, in spite of the seeming i'm
difference of many, for with them
we see the visition of what, ere long,
must come.

FAVORABLE TO WILSON.

With the naming of delegates to
the democratic national convention
closed with the exception of the single
state of Vermont it is possible to get
a line on the comparative strength
of the democratic candidates. Wood
row Wilson headquarters claim a to-
tai of S66 votes for the New Jersey
man and concede 349 votes to Champ
Clark. Just how accurate in this es-
innate is a matter for conjecture. 1t
appears to be a fair statement yet is
disputed by the Clark adherents, of
course.
1t seems apparent however, that the
fight between Wilson and Clark is so
close that the balance of power will
rest with the uninstructed delegates of
of which there are 90 from New
York. If this is the case and if the
democratic nomination is to go to one
of the other of these two men the
prospects are bright for Governor
Wilson to win.
It is more than likely the New
York leaders will look with more fa-
vor upon a man from New Jersey than
on one from Missouri. However, much
will depend upon what the republi-
cans do.

"THE FLAG OF FREEDOM"

Flag day is of more significance
than usual this year because during
recent months certain element has
mere and there been treating the flag
with disrespect. They are rabid men
who, smarting under injustices some
real and some fancied, want to take
the white and blue from out Old
Glory and make it one flaming rag
of red in protest against the existing
order.
There is some excuse of course for
the attitude of the 1. w. W.. Under
the administration of our laws speci-
al privileges have been acquired by
some and the exercise of such privi-
leges has worked injustice on others
When Andrew Carnegie netted a
profit of $160,O00,OOO at the time the
steel trust was formed he did not ac-
duire that wealth out of the air. 1t
came from the people. The same
thing is true with reference to other
trusts. The men in control have
made fabulous profits when that
wealth should have gone to the peo-
pie in the form of more reasonable
prices. The growth of monopolies in
the United States without the deter
ring influence of thoroughgoing gov
ernmental regulation has been bad
thing for sure.
But it has not been the fault of
the stars and stripes. 1t has been the
fault of the people themselves. They
have had the remedy in their own
hands all the time and have never
used it. William ]. Bryan ran for.
president three different times as the
foe of trusts and as the foe of trust
control of the government. He was
earnest in his view and has had the
courage Of his convictions. But the
people have never elected him to Of
lice. lHSltdu llltg nave t4tNNSu tiiN
candidate put forth by and supported
by the forces of great wealth. SO the
people have nobody but themselves to
blame If they have kept the govern
ment too long under the control Of
the wrong forces.
The red flag is certainly no rem
edy for the situation. The red flag is
the emblem Of selfishness just as is
the dollar mark. 1t merely repre-
sents the other extreme of the eco
nomic scale. The red flag is the ban
ner Of ignorance and disorder and not
Of patriotism. What its triumph
would mean no one can tell. 1t might
lead TO abuses and to injustices far
more frightful than those we now en-
dure. The I. w. w dislike the So
cial building and they would tear 1t
down no matter who may be injured.
Better TO use the old building, even
II IL has faults of architecture until
a new one can be constructed and
thoroughly tested.
The stars and stripes do well as the
banner Of free, enlightened people.
The red stands for protest against
