so fortunate as Pendleton in having
a fine park owned by the municipal
ity and located so convenient for every
one. 1t is improbable there is an
other place in the United States, the
size of Pendleton, that has such un-
usual facilities for handling affairs
such as will be here Saturday. 1t is
a fine advertisement for Pendleton
and one we should make the most of.
Since the meet comes on Saturday
it will be out of the question to sus-
pend business for the occasion. Still
that need not keep Pendleton from
taking official notice of the affair and
from giving it cordial recognition, to-
gether with a good attendance.
1t will be the first big meet of this
sort to be held here since we secured
Roundup Park. 1t will be a student
affair, not a private money maker and
there will be good, clean exciting
sport Why not turn out and make it
a feature the visiting students will al
ways remember and will make them
want to come back to Pendleton.
It is up to Pendleton to do this.

Following is an extract from a dis
cussion in the May American Maga-
zine:
Policemen and Why is it that no.
Ffremen. body ever has a good
word for policemen?
Wherever you go, good policemen are
always in the next town. New York
praises Cleveland's police, and you be-
lieve it till you read the Cleveland
papers. Cincinnati people tell you
what a splendid force they have in
Detroit, Detroit tells you about st.
Louis, st. Louis about Toledo But
go from one city to another and the
citizens all say that the local force
is no good; and so it goes.
On the other hand, they generally
try to tell you that their fire depart
ment is better than others. They are
proud of their firemen. You never
hear specific charges like graft or in
efficiency brought against firemen,
The general current estimate of the
two branches of the service seem to
rank firemen and policemen on two
entirely different grades of character
or levels of manhood 1t is something
like a light case of race prejudice.
Everybody believes in firemen, AMI no
one believes much in policemen. Fire
men are taken for granted as brave
and manly, and policemen are always
supposed to bear watching. Yet the
two branches are recruited from ex-
actly the same stock or grade or class
or whatever you have mind to call
It; and they are picked for about the
same run of qualifications.

Justice won yesterday when Judge
Wolverton decided the famous Oregon
and California land
A just and case against the rail-
FUR DeClS1OH. ROAD company. Inc
railroad had secured
100000 acres of land from the gov
eminent on the express stipulation that
1t should sell the land to settlers at
$3.50 per acre. 1t did not comply
with its agreement and Is therefore
deserving of having its title to the
land cancelled. Judge Wolverton's de-
cision simply means that the govern
ment shall secure from the Southern
Pacific the same elementary justice
one individual would seek and expect
of another in case of a wilful and
glaring breach of contract.

ENEMIES ARE
GIVEN ROAST

Political enemies for several
weeks have been trying to make
an issue around Commissioner
Freeland for his failure to file
with the city an itemnized account
OF how he spent the $500 on his
last trip to the east to deliver the
100000 bonds. Mayor Sey-
mour Wednesday said no COM
missioner had ever made any such
itemized report and while he
thought it well that such reports
should be made he saw no reason
for demanding that Freeland
make one now. especially in view
of the fact that Freeland did the
best work for the city on this trip
of any commissioner that ever
went away. He made a deal with
a New York bank by which the
city gets interest on its balances
held there which pays the whole
expenses OF the trip several times
over.
