News of Our Growing City

Observation-Disclosures
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1915-07-09

There is a message and there
is an example for many who
accept the paralysis of despair
either under burdens of per-
sonal affliction or at a purely
fanciful age dead-line of use
full endeavor.
sS-S~sSss~
The city cOuncilmen and
mayor are absolutely right
about their speeding instruc-
tions. 1t is not at all necessary
for autoists, young or old, men
or women, to rush through the
streets at lightning speed and
run over somebody once or
twice a week. Speeding
should be stopped no matter by
whom it is done. If a few
speeders would be heavily fin
ed or put in Jail there would be
fewer victims in the hospital
and the cemetery.
S-s-Sss~~~~
The Chautauqua will thrive
best if its local organization is
big enough to include all ele-
ments of the community. 1t will
not do well as a one man affair
or if managed by any particu-
lar group. All the people are
asked to patronize the meet
ings; they should have part in
the management.
S-S-~~s~S-S-~
If the council can secure
that block by the Catholic
church at a fair price it should
be purchased; the time will
come when people, young and
old will praise them for their
foresight.
The Roundup occurs this
year Sept. %, "a and 25. Keep
the dates in mind.

THE TRUTH is BEST

m HE letter from Mr.. Shum-
VI way today shows the
awakening of the modern
farmer to the fact that when
he lies about his heavy yield
when he does not have one he
is playing straight into the
hands of the buying interests.
1t is a fact that regularly
the pre-harvest estimates about
crop conditions have been ex-
aggerated. The government
reports will indicate a 900,-
100000 bushel yield for the
country when the grain that
gets into sack will amount to
about 700,000,000 bushels.
This is partly the fault of the
farmer, partly the newspapers
and no doubt the buying inter-
ests have something to do with
the matter.
The best way is to tell the
truth. That is what the East
Oregonian has endeavored to
do regarding the damage this
year. The Portland papers
have not had the truth. The
stories have indicated bumper
crops when there is no chance
for a bumper crop. The dam
age inflicted has been the most
severe in many years if not in
history. We will still get a
crop and there is no necessity
for weeping, but there is moth
ing to be gained by overesti-
mating the situation and de-
pressing the price just when
the new market is about to
open.

INSPIRED AT FoURsCoRE

HROM a New York publish
ing house comes the story
~ of an unsolicited manu-
script life of Nathan Hale
which, on investigation, proved
to be the work of a woman
eighty-one years of age, totally
blind and partly deaf. This
venerable author was as CHEEKY
a person as one could desire to
meet, and she set about the
suggested revision OF her book
with the spirit and energy of
a beginner at letters.
In a way, this is an instance
without literary or artistic par
allel, comments a New York
paper.
Milton, it is true, wrote po-
etry in his blindness. Beet
hoven composed music which
he could not hear for himself.
But in this later case we have
one who, with the Affections
of these two combined upon
her, defies both her ills and
her great burden of years.
Under discouragements which
would deaden a lesser soul and
might cause a stronger body to
perish, she lives intensely and
finds her JOY in fine activities
of the mind.
"Her glowing portrait of
Hale" say the old lady's pub
fishers, lis nothing less than an
inspiration" So we have Age
in the twentieth century gath
ering its vision of Youth in the
eighteenth century and pre-
senting it in a word-picture fit
for the illumination of history.
There is more than the work
of a gifted biographer here,

The foregoing is from a let

While the woolbuyers, aided
by reactionary newspapers,
were depressing the raw wool
market with the free trade ar

houses and taking war orders

The woolgrowers of Oregon
were betrayed by the very
forces that claim to serve them

cal reasons the facts about the
wool market were distorted by

FROM THE PEOPLE
WANTS THE TRUTH TOLD.
Milton. OREGON. Inn 3 1a1k

Milton. Oregon, July s, 1915.
AS a farmer, / wish to thank you
for the articles in your paper in re-
gard to the prospects for harvest.
| believe you have stated the truth
about the damage done our crops. and
l believe 1t is the first time / have
ever seen the truth stated in a news
paper Of Oregon about Oregon crops
In adverse circumstances.
The fault is not with our newspa-
pers but with the farmer himself.
Each Of us desires to be thought a
better farmer. a better manager than
our neighbors. Even when our grain
is In the sack, and the yield per acre
is reduced to a mathematical certain
ty, we win not tell the truth about it,
and our report is taken by the news
papers and the government.
Every year a fictitious surplus is
created in government reports, which
materially reduces the price of our
gain. the profit of which is reaped
later by the speculator.
Yours respectfully
