col. KNOX SHARPENS
KNIFE FOR MAHEl0NA

Col. Knox of the fighting ninth of
the fifth district. is sharpening his po-
litical knife nowadays with a view to
fighting Solomon Mahelona who has
been prominent in precinct politics for
many years.
Knox, attired in white, was at the
fishmarket this morning advising his
friends to vote against Mahelona,
who he said is losing his political in
fluence. in his own precinct.
"Mahelona thinks he can control the
situation in his precinct now," said
Knox, but let me tell you" he added,
that MaheIona is no longer consid-

the way in which he has controlled
everything at Waiakea up to he pres
ent time.
Supervisor Austin states that if he
is elected he will take the job again
but that he is not going to fight for
it, His name will be one of those
which will go before the county con-
vention, however, and it is generally
thought that Austin will fight in spite
OF the denals he makes to the con-
trary.
NJ S. Pacheco is the Portuguese
candidate for supervisor and there is
strong fight and has every chance of
being elected He missed by a few
votes last election and it is understood
this year that he has the labor union
behind him as we'll as the Portuguese
vote. If this is so, then it is very
hard to see where David Ewaliko gets
off. AS usual, David is trying for
election as supervisor and will natur-
ally enough want the votes of the Ia
Dor union behind him. This puts the
union in rather a tight corner. as there
will be kealoha, Ewaliko and Pacheco
to choose from. At the present time
il looks as though Kealoha and Pa
eheco are standing the best chances,
although it is impossible 10 say any
thing definite, as all the work is be-
ing done underground, and it is only
now and then that an occasional
glimpse can be obtained.

Mr.. Fern made the suggestion,

There is $4,000 appropriated for the

Because OF the statements credited
to prominent members of the anti

themselves as members OF the Repub-

success himself, a movement is on
foot in the various precinct clubs
where the Jarrett forces are in con-

cratic party before the conventions.
The plans for the wholesale ousting
are being considered secretly, it is
said but there is every indication that
they will be carried out. Jarrett is
strong in the majority of the precinct
clubs, and so wide is the chasm be-
tween the two factions, and so bitter
the feeling, that it is believed the
proposal to cast the Anti's into outer
darkness will receive hearty ap-

MAKING SOME HEADWAY.

In the south the problem of large
land holdings is as serious or more
serious than it is in Umatilla county.
But some headway is being made
against the system as will be seen by
the following extract from the Allan
ia Constitution:
Not every landowner in Georgia
believes in holding his acres in cold
storage The example set by John
D. Walker, president of the Walker
chain of banks, furnishes an exception
that may well challenge the attention
OF other Georgians with approximate
holdings. Mr.. Walkers program,
and its far-reaching effect, is thus
described in a recent issue of the
Wesleyan Christian Advocate:
"'Mr. Walker is selling his land in
small lots to desirable citizens, and
on terms that even poor men can af-
ford. In the last few years twenty
two families have moved on the place
and only two of the twenty have
gone from other portions of Han
cock county; the twenty families from
the outside are a clear gain in the
population of the country of desir'
able, law-abiding citizens. who con
tribute their portion to the revenue!

WORTH THINKING ABOUT.

In his talk before the city council
the other evening, C. p. Strain said
some very good things and they have
an important bearing upon the cleo
trical proposition now before the
council.
Electric power endures forever.
Coal and wool are daily growing
scarcer andS rising in price-even
horse power grows more expensive
with high cost of feed All kinds Of
fuel and heat now in use except cleo
trio fluid is sure to grow more costly.
But water gravitates toward the sea
as cheaply at one time as another,
while human ingenuity cheapens cleo
trio production from year to year."
Those things are worth thinking
about. We are not building for to-
day only but for the future. The
world will continue to whirl along for
many years yet and Pendleton toe
will be here for long time unless
something very unexpected happens

DIGNIFYING THE INDUSTRIES.


Whoever coined the above phrase
and applied it to the work that is done |
at the Oregon Agricultural College
cid well. The instruction given at !
o. A. C. and at similar schools of the |
country looks to dignifying and max
ing more effective the industrial and
commercial work of the country. 1t
is a splendid line to work upon.
The workers are the important
people of the world. This does not
mean merely the man with the over
alls and the pick or shovel. There
are other workers more important
than he There is the superintend-
ent or engineer who bosses the man
with the shovel. He is a worker, too.
So is the man who operates farm;
conducts a dairy, a newspaper or
bank; who runs a manufacturing
plant, supervises an orchard or
railroad, or is an integral part, large
or small, of a mercantile establish
ment. SO is the housewife.
It is to train men and women in
the useful arts and to fit them for
places such as these that the agri-
cultural college exists. The agricul-
tural college idea is to educate peo-
pie for the essential duties of life
and to prepare them for the world
of the present-not for a world that
is dead and gone nor for a mystic
realm that exists in the mind of the
classic scholar but cannot be found
in this busy, practical age.
There was a time when it was con-
sidered a disgrace to work. That
was when royalty held sway and when
the sons and daughters of the upper
strata were educated with a view to
leading lives of culture and of ease.
But when Cornwallis gave his sword
to washington at yorktown that deed
marked the beginning of something
more than political freedom. 1t
marked also the surrender Of the old
school to the new-the beginning Of
an age wherein labor is exalted and
not looked down upon.
It IS natural that revolution in
the educational world should have
followed sooner or later upon the birth
% our democracy. The old classic
~idea Of education is not fitted to our
needs. It was intended for the old
time aristocracy. not for republic
II looked only to turning out men Of
refinement and culture-not usefu
citizens. That old idea still prevails tc
some extent. At oxford a man whC
works or who does not have person
al servant is still regarded as in dis
repute. There are schools in Ameri
ca even where this same idea pre-
walls to a greater or less extent.
But time is going to eliminate tha
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1912-02-23

sort of thing AS the world grows
better and more wise it will come to
look more and more with disfavor
upon loafers-be they rich or poor.
The agricultural colleges express this
sentiment. They look to dignifying
industry not to discrediting it. That
they also promote music and art was
evidenced here last evening when the
o. A. c. glee club gave its entertain
ment.
Already the idea of technical train
ing is sweeping the country. The
agricultural colleges are popular and
they are fast growing in popularity.
This tendency is going to continue
and the agricultural college idea is
going to spread until the educational
work of the entire country is placed
upon that basis. 1t is a big and sig
nificant movement-not small af-
fair. 1t is part of the upward march
Of humanity and it is destined to con-
tinue until the world arrives at the
Golden Age-which is of the future
and not the past-when all men will

ity's activities. In the WalkeC in

itself in an access of zeal for edu-
cation and religion, not to mention
the material gain of larger voldme in

Newport won the first ball game of
the season, defeating Priest River by
the old time free silver ratio of Is to l.
The up-river boys were not in the game
at any stage of the proceedings and
narrowly avoided shut-off, getting
their lone run in the ninth inning.
Navarro, Viewpoints new pitcher,
showed up in good form and scored 10
strike-outs, though he was not required
to work hard, and was at some disad-
vantage on account of the frequent
showers during the game, which kept
the ball wet and hard to control. The
fans are we'll pleased with his work,
and the general expectation is that
Newport will have a team that will
make good.
Next Sunday the boys go to Priest

will be in better shape to meet them.
