East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1914-11-12

Anti-administraton papers try 10
class the New York and Illinois cleo
tons as registering a protest against
the administration. Nothing could be
farther from the truth. 1t was largely
because Wilson never approved OF
Murphy and Of Sullivan that those
men lost out
At the Baltimore convention the
Tammany contingent was treated with
utter scorn by the Wilson men and no
political boss ever received such
drubbing as Murphy had to take from
Bryan. In the presidential campaign
two years ago the Tammany boss was
publicly repudiated by Wilson. In
his senatorial fight this year Sullivan
Of Illinois had direct opposition from
Secretary Bryan.
Under such conditions the defeat Of
Tammany in New York and Of sui
livan in Illinois may properly be re-
garded as administration triumphs
rather than as defeats.
The administration leaders seem to
be acting on the theory it is better TO
elect republicans than to sanction the
election OF democrats Of such stripe
they become stool pigeons for preda-
tory interests when placed in office.
In this course they are right II
the democratic party is to hold power
and serve the people the Murphys and
sulliyans must be ditched.
There are signs indicating the wool
growers OF eastern Oregon will fare
even better next
Fright Outlook spring than they did
For Wool. last spring regarding
high prices for wool
An effort was made at one time this
fall to contract for wool at Heppner
on a 20 cent basis. thus showing a
strengthening market.
Now comes the English government
with an order that no Australian wool
shall be shipped to this country this
winter unless for use in manufactur-
ing goods already contracted for by
Great Britain. That means our west
ern woods will be free from Australi-
an competition and the buyers viii be
unable to bear prices with the old
boyle Of foreign importations. AS
there is a clearly defined and gener-
ally admitted shortage Of wool in this
country it therefore becomes evident
that soaring prices may be looked for.
The war is a great catastrophe but
It is working no hardship on our wheat
farmers or upon our woolmen.

They are the years that mean
most TO me now" once said Mark
Twain in talking
In LIES Harvest. Of days when life
had little pleasure
for him. There
are countless numbers who have had
the same experience. Hardships and
sorrow bring out manliness and wom-
anliness. Those who have never
toiled hard cannot know the bles-
sings OF rest and comfort Those
who have never grieved cannot know
the meaning Of Joy. People get from
life pretty much what they put into
it and those who plow deep in their
earlier years are the most apt to reap
happiness when the autumn days
draw nigh.
The news that Turkey is dissatisfied
with being dragged into war has
familiar sound; the Turk has been
licked so many times in late years he
has no stomach for powder.
