4 Failure of Duty.

When the gas we'll was developed
at the Fair Grounds the Caucasian
suggested that the Council should
provide an ordinance prohibiting
the drilling of wells for gas or oil
in the corporate limits without au-
thoriy from the city. We argued
that if the city could fix its fire linn
its and regulate the buildings that
may be constructed in such district,
it should. exercise the right to pro
hibit the indisCriminatc drilling OF
wells in the corporate limits.
Possibly such an ordinance has
been provided, but it is not of our
knowledge.
If the drilling of wells is permit
ted, every citizen may drill we'll III
his back yard.
This drilling of gas wells may be
come a menace to the community
Besides, too many wells may operate
against the supply of gas to the peo
pie at nominal price.

One Thousand Mile Ticket for Olt'S
One OOIlar.

There is a law to prohibit the
members of the legislature from rid
ing on free passes, but the prartic"
of accepting a 1000 mile ticket for
the nominal sum Of 800 is as bad
as the free pass 1t is in fact a viola
ton of the spirit of the laW.--IIomrr
Guardian Journal.
The legislator who would be free
and independent and be manly
man unrestrained in his duty will
never place himself under obligation
to a railroad, corporation or any
individual The legislator who will
accept a 1,O0O-mile ticket from a
railroad for $i00 can not escape the
censure of having received bribe,
indirectly. How can legislator be
true to his constituency and to him
self when he is under obligations to
railroad, or perhaps some other
corporation or agency, for 200
mile ticket sold to him for only
one dollar?
Every legislator should be free
and clean. Could Bryan have flaunt
cd his defiance into the very teeth
of Tammany and the interests con
grceated at the Baltimore COnVrn-
| ton if he were unclcan or had ac
quired a i,OO0-mile ticket for only
one dollar?

The statement Of the journal IS &

it has been charged on the streets
that some of these committee would

faction to report to you two plans
we now have under consideration.
I'VE would recommend that the
valve on the we'll be 50 arranged
that it can be shut off at dlstanC"
of fifty feet as the we'll is liable to
be set on fire at any time by the
electrical storms we ar ehaVlng.
This report and the statement by
Mr.. McCue and Mr.. Kean were re-
ceived and adopted unanimously.
There was then submitted by At
torney Lichtenstein the resolution
reading:
THAT the entire matter be re
ferred back to the committee and
that the committee confer with the
City Council TO the end that some
means of utilizing the we'll shall be
reached, or if it is found necessary,
to kill it. Should the committee and
council be unable to reach an agree
ment on the matter, then the ques-
ton shall be submitted to the peO-
pie in a referendum election
There was no discussion, although
several of the committee were i'll
clincd to speak but remained silent
as had been agreed 10 before the
opening of the meeting, provided
they were not discredited by any
one at the meeting.
On call, those in favor were re
quested to stand, and those opposed
rose to their feet.
The committee remained seated,
and it was in Difference to them that
the citizens who voted no, were in
the minority.
There was reference to the
Mayors letter to the committee, in
which he said, words quoted: "YOu
have taken upon yourselves the au-
thority to open the well, therefore,
as Mayor, | shall now confer upon
you the authority to close it,
This was ruled out Of order as be-
ing a personality provocative of an
unnecessary flow of words.
When Chairman Querbes an
nOunced that the resolution by At
tOrney Lichtenstein had been adopt
ed, the Mayor aCquiesced as report
ed in the Times, but if he had not
acquiesced, what then?
The Mayor announced that the OBJ
ject of the resolution was eminently
satisfactory to him, and the Council
will take pleasure in meeting with
the committee at 9 o'clock this
morning, or any other hour they
may desire, and he felt sure that
from this time on the affairs of the
| gas we'll will move rapidly to hap
py solution and that before many
| months have passed the city will be
| enjoying the benefits of a munich
| pally owned light and fuel pro
ducer.
The meeting was declared ad-
journed.

Are These Men Sneaks?

Editorial Shreveport Times, July
lS: A sneak is defined as "a mean
fellow; one who is not honorable;
also, petty thief"
If we are to believe the Journal,
the gentlemen who compose the Git
izens Committee appointed to deal
with the gas we'll at the State Fair
Grounds are all sneaks, or near
sneaks at least. ....-
Mr.. w. X. Henderson Sr., is a
sneak.
Mr.. G. E. Gilmer is sneak.
Mr.. John A. Keel is a sneak
Mr. Andrew Queries is sneak.
Mr.. Gardner Blades is sneak.
Mr.. Russell P. Moore is a sneak.
Mr.. J. e. Johnston Jr., is a sneak.
Mr.. e. N. Florsheim is sneak.
Mr.. V. Grosjean is a sneak.
Because, says the Journal, these
gentlemen took advantage of a
psychological moment" TO go out to
the Fair Grounds and open the gas

thought, for the Journal says they

FOR ADULTS ALSO.

Progressive and loyal residents of
Pendleton were proud yesterday of
the splendid new high school that is
being erected here. 1t will be a mag
nificent building and if the school is
conducted along the broad. liberal
lines contemplated by the board of
education the erection of the school
will really mark a new epoch not
merely in the educational life of Pen
dleton but in general civic affairs.
The new school is going to be closer
to the people and serve them better
tkan the old. The new courses will
make the school of more direct value
to students and the institution can
be made of great use to adults also.
III his address yesterday state Super
Alderman pointed out the
necessity for adult training and edu-
cation as well as the necessity for in
structing the young. 1t is a fact that

BARBEE DOESN'T LIKE 1T.

In letter to the Portland Journal
James T. Barbee, Champ Clark man.
ager for Oregon, takes a few filings
at the suggestion that the people
themselves through an appropriation
finance the presidential election and
bar Wall street magnates from
handling that end of the affair. This
particular politician differs from the
East Oregonian and Judge King as
tc the merits of the plan.
1t is amusing though to read Mr.
Barbee's reasons. He says the thing
would be wrong in principle and So
cialistic. The first is a startling OBJ
lection to be sure. Though the pres
idency is a public office and the peo-
pie are supposed to control that high
position it Is wrong in principle for
them to meet the expenses of the
race and thereby keep the president
free from obligations other than to
the people at large. In other words
ii is wrong for the people to really
elect the president. They should keep
or being bamboozled. The presi-
dency should be knocked down to the
highest bidding trust which can then
place its own official in the white
house.
OF what school is this man who says
the people should not finance the
presidential race but should allow
George w. Perkins and fellow million
aires to do so? He poses as a demo-
crat. If there are very many demo-
Gratis like him then we have the ex-
PLANTATION Of what is wrong with the
democratic party. 1T is the demo-
Gratis.
The charge that the plan is social
istic is not worth considering. That
IS not the reason for Mr.. Barbees
opposition. The real reason seems
to be found in this paragraph:
"The whole scheme is wrong from
the standpoint of policy. In this year
of our lord when democracy through
out the country is practically united
on a platform and will be united on
o candidate after the Baltimore con-
vention where comes the wisdom of
tie policy of trying to load the plat
form down with new promotion deals
OF doubtful propriety or purpose"
Interpreted that paragraph seems
to read as follows: 1T is the wrong

THE POOR MANS COLLEGE"

at is pleasant and significant fact
that there is now decided rivalry
among even the biggest universities
to be known as "the poor mans COZ
lege," says the New York World. And
there are plenty of facts and figures
to sustain such claims in regard to
most of them. Harvard leads off with
the statement by the Harvard Bulle-
tin that from one-third to one-half
of its undergraduates earn money
either during term time or in vaca-
tion, and thereby pay wholly or in
part for their university course.
recent statement as to student en-
rloyment in Harvard shows that in
round numbers between so and l.
100 men are working their way
through college, and that instead of
being in a caste by themselves on this
account, they are honored according
to their respective merits.
Yale has more than 5VO students
who are helping themselves through
it's courses, and from Princeton comes
word that ten acres of land have been
made into truck gardens where un-
dergraduates are earning money for
themselves and also helping to re-
duce the cost of living of other stu
dents by raising vegetables for the
college eating-clubs and college COM
mons.
On the whole, this is the most sat
isfactory piece of information that
has recently come from our leading
universities. 1t shows the democrat
l. spirit is not dead but is flourishing
vigorously. The fact that hundreds
of students of Columbia and New
York University and the other col
leges of New York annually pay in
whole or in part the expenses of their
college course is we'll known.
