The past campaign was attended
vito more tragic events than anyknown
to history. Attempted assassination
and death have interfered with the
plans and one party went before the
voters with only . single candidate,
the vice-president having been re-
moved by death.
The two big tragic events have been
the attempted murder Of Col. Rcose-
velt progressive candidate. and the
SeAth of Vice President Sherman.

soprano. She reaches high F with
ease. While as yet very young she
has appeared in opera oratorio, con-
cert and recital, and has made a tour
with the Damrosch Symphony orches-
ira, achieving everywhere a great
triumph. "Her voice is a golden one
and she fairly enchants the audience
with the exquisite beauty of her
numbers"
The Knickerbocker Press of Albany
says of Miss Showalter:
In her second song, an aria from
the second act of MADAME Butterfly, Z"
she proved herself at once a rival of
Geraldine Farrar. 1t was a natural
comparison for one to make who had
heard the Metropolitan singer on
Tuesday evening, but Miss Showalter
lost no applause by the comparison.
Her final note-that haunting, per-
sistent upper tone, dying though it
does in the surge of the orchestras as
the melody is carried on-was crystal
clear. For her encore she departed
from the rigid conventions of the
concert stage and played her own ac-
compartment to dainty little song.
1t would not be fulsome praise to say
that the American musical world has
yet to hear from Edna Blanche Sho-
walter, and Albanians might well
keep her in mind, for she will come
again, we believe, with greater honors
and added reputation. She was a
great assistance to Mr.. Damrosch.

FARMERS THOUGHTFUL.

We are informed by automobile
drivers that after the July floods had
carried away a large number of
bridges in the several townships west
of the Wisconsin river, leaving as the
only way of getting through on these
roads, the fording of the creeks,
which in many cases was not practi-
cal for automobiles, the town author
tiles took pains to indicate in some
way which roads would not be safe to
use by automobile owners.
This was very considerate act on
their part and saved much delay, and
may be the means of avoiding serious
accidents.
If there was more thoughtfulness
on the part of the drivers of teams
and automobiles and the public in
general, the result would be better
Dads, fewer accidents and better
feeling.

LOOKING FORWARD.

Living just for today, Oh for what
is past and gone, will never bring you
success.
The men and women who are achiev-
ing success; who are getting ahead,
are looking forward; they have a goal
they are striving to reach. They
have an ambition, and it is this am
bition thatis helping them TO get
what they are after.
Try this: Make up your mind that
in five years from today you will have
enough money to buy forty of.land
or desirable city lot, or to build a
coy little home. You VIII be sur
prised how it will help you hang on
to the dollars. If you need any help
taking care of the money come and
see the First National bank about
that. advertisement

TIE Result.

The campaign just closed has been
carried on with dignity and with very
little vituperation, on either side.
The most bitter fight was waged by
the two factions in the republican
party. The result seems to be very
gratifying to the people of the coun-
try. The landslide to democracy was
much of surprise to many, but poll
ticians on both sides could not figure
out how there could be any show for
the republicans winning with Taft
and Roosevelt splitting up its vote.
AS a last resort the cry of hard
times, soup houses, etc., was raised by
the republican press. This is the most
dangerous style of electioneering, be-
cause it causes unrest aud if carried
on long enough previous to election,
creates disturbances in business affairs.
This, Of course is disreputable but it
is fair to say, was only carried on by
the papers backed by large corpora
lions throughout the country, which
would rather bring on a panic than
to see any other party but the repub-
lican in power. The sentiment is
growing to place such papers in the
bum and anarchistic class OF politics.
That is where they belong.
Wilson and Marshall would have
won out this year even if the republi-
can party had been united, for no
other reason than the party was false
to the trust imposed in it by the
people; because of its propagation of
the trusts; in its every move to raise
the tariff in the interests of trusts
rather than the people; in it's peculiar
ideas on finance-to legislate for the
interests of Wall street. This in
nutshell, accounts for the overwhelm-
Ing defeat and final wrecking of the
once great republican party.
In the state of Wisconsin it is to be
regretted that Judge Karel and his
associates were defeated. They made
asplendid run, only being beaten by
a small margin. The cause of this
no doubt was the strenuous fight
made by LaFollette to keep his
followers in line. Judge Karel carried
Milwaukee county by over 10000,
showing his great home popularity.
Another serious regret to his many
friends, was the defeat, by small
vote, of Arthur j. Plowman for con-
greSs.
Take it all in all there is cause for
great rejoicing by the democrats of
the country.

THE only thing that puts damper
ON the enthusiasm of the PILOT is
the defeat of the state ticket. To
think that the republicans only pulled
McGovern through by few thousand
and that Judge Karel might have
been elected by just little more of
an effort on the part of the democrats
Is enough to make one say cuss words.
No candidate ever made a better can
yass than did Judge Karel.

Street paving operations here in
Pendleton received a temporary set
back this morning when the team
sters employed by the Warren Con-

boards on their wagons in order that

fused to grant the raise and declared
this afternoon that If they are un-
able to secure loca+ men and teams
they will send to Portland Immediately
for auto trucks to complete the

AS explained by Engineer Loner-
gan of the company this morning.
the teamsters have been securing five
dollars a day for themselves and

Mississippi Flood is Worst
in History; Damage
Staggering
Toll Exacted by Flood.


Memphis, April S.-With more
breaks threatened at half a dozen
places along the levee, Memphis to-
day faces the most serious flood of its
history.
The suffering of flood victims in
the low lying districts is intense.
Thousands are homeless and refugees
have crowded the government and
municipal buildings here. Business
is virtually at standstill Every
available male resident is being en-
gagged in the work of strengthening
the levee in and about the city. Thou
sands of acres of the best agricultur-
al land in Tennessee are under water
and the flooded districts will produce
no crops this year
This means the loss of hundreds of
thousands of dollars to farmers. Even
when the water recedes, government
experts say it will be years before the
soil can be titled.
Water is pouring in torrents into
Arkansas. due to three breaks on the
levee on the Arkansas side of the riv-
err.
Golden Lake, Arkansas, is in danger
of immediate destruction and one
one-thousand men are working fever
ishly in an effort to strengthen the
levee there.
Railroad traffic in this section is in
a state of paralysis and telegraph lines
are badly crippled by the flood which
extends as far south as Vicksburg,
Miss.
