The committee announces that the

could not arrange their dates so as not
to conflict with other attractions here.
But through the influence of Prof. Phelps

and to wish them good luck and God
speed. The Commercial club man
ayers luncheon yesterday gave good
evidence to that effect.
That luncheon was significant in
many ways. 1t gave fitting tribute to
two men who have been strong lead
ers and workers for Pendleton and
Umatilla county. Both have repre-
sented this county in the state senate
and made distinguished records. Both
have been workers all the time for the
city and county and their going will
take big men from the ranks Of the
Commercial club. Both men have
made personal fortunes and they
earned their money in the old time
way by ability and hard consistent
work. They are entitled to go If they
wish to do so.
Perhaps the most significant thing
about the farewell luncheon was the
fact that called together in their hon.
or were men who have not always
agreed in politics or other affairs
with those who are going. But such
petty differences are but rubbish
after all. There is bigger brother
hood than that of party or Of faction
and it held session yesterday. 1t is
the loyal brotherhood of those who
have lived and worked for Pendleton.
The ritual is in the hearts of true
men and citizens and the teachings
are such as were enunciated by those
who spoke yesterday.
It is a good thing for this little city
that it's people can get together when
the occasion calls and join hands re-
gardless Of petty differences. That
spirit has done much for Pendleton
in the past and will do much in the
future. 1t is exactly the spirit that
should prevail in the biggest city of
It's size in the world.

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1912-10-26

It is difficult to understand why the
Taft managers in Oregon and else
where want TO play the
II VIII be ostrich. But that is ex-
Wilson or actly what they are do
Roosevelt. ing. They are hiding
their heads in the sand
ignoring the Roosevelt revolt and pre-
tending to think the fight is between
Taft and Wilson. On the contrary
the fight is between Wilson and
Roosevelt and every shot at Wilson is
in aid Of the bull moose candidacy.
How can the Taft forces reason
ably expect success when in the pri-
mary elections throughout the union
the president did not carry a single
state? He was badE beaten in his
own state of Ohio and in most Of the
states the vote against him was over
whelming. In Oregon he drew but
1900 out Of $1,000 republican votes
cast. He was distanced by both
Roosevelt and La Toilette. The situ-
alton from a Taft standpoint has not
improved much If at all since June.
The fact that Taft is the regular
nominee will avail but little. The peo-
pie are not caring about regularity
these days. Oregon will 90 for Will
son or else for Roosevelt. 1t will not
90 to Taft. There are abundant signs
&c this effect. Scores of straw votes
have been taken in this state ani in
nearly every instance Taft has been
the low man. The same has been true
in other states and the estimates come
not from democratic sources but from
republican sources as we'll
Republicans who resent the actions
OF Roosevelt in trying to wreck their
party; who object to being called such
pet terms as thieves" "brigands."

try to find some effective way Of de-

him with Taft. They must do it with

PINE BLUFF, ARKANSAS, RSDAY MORNING. AUGUST o1,

sebastian County is virtually two counties as Iae revenue from the Fort Smith, or Upper Township District. is ~eparate and used separ- ately from hat of what is known as the GreenW cd District In other words, all of the revenue in Fort Smith is used for Fort Smith i'm Erovements. This is the principal reason why the ether part of Sebas- ion County was not inctuded in the Fort Smith-CraWford District.
 As an evidence of the popularity of the Free Bridge and the sat sfaction il has created, I will refer to the re- equalization of the Free Bridge tax books for 1911, which show ,at only S9 in taxes remained delinquent for the entire district, including that sted for collection in the City of For Smith and all of Crawford County. There are numbers of tax payers in this county, owning town lets and small farms, who are listed on the tax books and whose annual bridge tax is as' low as 10 and 15 cents. One taxpayer is shown to own 4o acres of improved land, valu- ed at $1G an acre, and the tax books show that he pays an annual tax of 70 cents on his entire holding.
 The records in the Circuit Clerk s office show that since the Free Bridge has been opened for traffic, there has been more real estate sold beth country and city. in Crawford County, than for all of the five years preceding Ard in every instance. without cne e ,ception, the lands and city lots have sold at fancy prices. Real estate in Crawford county has already increased from ten to more than 100 per cent.

 GRACE TRIAL
  Considers Admission of Ali bi Letters g Victory for Prosecution.
STRONG EVIDENC
Bedside Conversation Also Admitted Mrs. Grace Will Go On the
 Stand Today.

Atlanta, Ga., July 31-After SCOT ing two important victories in the trial of Mrs. Daisy Grace on the charge of shooting her husband, the state this afternoon rested it's case. Mrs. Grace is expected to take the stand at the opening of the court to- morrow and tell her story. The two victories were:
 First, the admission of the now famous cal 'bi letters" which the state expects the jury to believe that Mrs. Grace wrote to herself; second, the admission of the bedside conver- sation between MT. and Mrs. Grace when Mrs. Grace stood by the bed side of her stricken husband and asked what the accusation was he was making against her, when, the state claims, no one had told her of the accusation and it was her guilty conscience impelling her.
 George B. Pullard, city detective was the witness who was permitted to tell of the meeting at the hospital. ''Who spoke first?" asked Solicitor Dorsey. Mrs. Grace "What did she say?" "She said, 'how did this happen, Gene?. What have you been telling these people? They tell me you say l shot you ''Did she kiss her husband?" No. she stood straight up beside the bed" Judge Roan would not permit the witness to relate to the jury the subsequent conversation between husband and wife. He admitted her first state ment because the prosecution claim ed that it had proven by witnesses, who were with Mrs. Grace from the time she heard the news to the meet inE at the hospital, that no one had ttld her she has been accused f Although the prosecution attached great weight to the "alibi letters and con tends that they show that the shooting of Grace was planned by his wife. the defense claims that Mrs. Grace had not been connected
