NEWS AND ADVERTISING

0T times there are people
"a who fail to understand the
distinction between news
matter and advertising. Ere
quently people will offer to pay
for the publication of news
matter in the East Oregonian
or for the suppression of news.
Such offers are always declin-
ed for the reason it is an abso-
lutte rule of the paper that pay
ment will never be accepted for
such services. That rule is in
compliance with the principles
of good journalism and the
laws of the United States. 1t
is a rule that is never broken
by the East Oregonian or any
one connected Herewith, as
owner or employe.
News matter for publication
free of cost is always solicited
and suggestions or contribu-
tions of this class are appreci-
ated. Advertising is also So
licited and appreciated, but a
distinct line is maintained be-
tween news or editorial matter
and advertising.
These explanations are made
because there are good people
who do not understand the
ways of legitimate journalism.
Some newspapers have loose
morals upon this subject. The
East Oregonian has strict rules
relating to these matters and
those rules are faithfully OBJ
served.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1916-04-26

that in his view the republican
policy should be to champion
firmness if they believe Wilson
is not going to be firm and to
oppose firmneSS if the presi-
dent maintains such a position,
In other words his idea is to be
against the administration,
whether the president be right
or wrong.
Needless to say such shift
ing will not be tolerated by the
rank and file of republicans
who are sane minded Ameri-
cans even if some of their lead
ers are not. They will stand
for AmericaniSm first and poll
ties afterwards. Furthermore
it is not hard to see that the re-
publicans cannot make head
way by charging the president
with being vaccilating and
changeable if their own con-
gressional leader is to appear
in the role of political Jockey,
The hopeful part of the situ-
alton is that various big repub-
lican leaders, among them Sen,
ator Lodge, and many regula-
ton republican newspapers no
doubt a majority endorse the
Wilson Germany policy. 1t
shows there is a line where
partisanship must stop. If
this were not true the position
of this republic when facing a
foreign nation in diploMatic
controversy or in war, would
indeed be perilous.

TOWN OF RIETH RECALLS
INCIDENT OF THE PAST
7. b. WELLS TELLS OF CELEBRA-
TION AT COMPLETION OF
NEW HOME.

Pendleton, Ore, April 2s.
Editor East Oregonian:
With the revival of the name Rieth
selected by the O-W r. & N. Com
pany for the new depot at the juno
tion (by the way, a most appropriate g
selection), am reminded OF an in
cident. evidently overlooked or for.
gotten by Uncle John Bentley, in con.
nection with his history of the build
ing of the Rieth house in 1872.
For a number Of years prior to the
building of the house referred to by
Mr.. Bentley, the Rieths lived at the
mouth of the creek in a little log cab
in, but had extensive stock interests
at that point. Bentley completed the
house referred to by him in the fall
or early winter of 1872, and the
Rieths, in celebration Of the event of
the completion of the house under
took to give general neighborhood
dance and supper, everybody Of
course, being expected to attend, In.
vitations were unknown.
The only music on such occasions
was a fiddle and on this occasion the
veteran Happy Canyon fiddler, Jack
Morton, was engaged to come and
bring his fiddle. Jack left home
early in the afternoon on horseback,
in order to be in proper tune by the
time the guests arrived. He having
gone on horseback, entrusted his
partner, Alex Birchfield, who contem-
plated coming later in a buggy, to
bring his violin.
Birchfield had special reason for
going in buggy. For some months
prior he had been most attentive to
a lady, who is yet living and whose
name I will leave 1t to her to dis
close if she sees fit to do so.
On the night in question Birchfield
left the home of the young lady with
the violin under the seat, and the lady
by his side, the road leading to the
mouth of Birch Creek then across
Mckay creek above the mouth and
over the Hill down to the point to
Birch Creek
Somewhere between Mckay Creek
and Birch Creek the momentous ques-
tion was propounded by Birchfield
and his suit was rejected. Birchfield
became angry refused to go further
returned the young lady to her home
and forgot all about the fiddle and
the music for the dance.
A large and hilarious crowd among
whom | was one. spent the night at
the house, had a most enjoyable sup
per, but no music and no dance.
Birchfield was never popular either

THE BEHAVIOR OF Mr.
MANN

A. HE attitude of Minority
VI Leader Mann, official
head of the republican
party in congress, in trying to
delay the army bill, one of our
important preparedness meas
ures, and in criticising Presi-
dent Wilson for his firm note to
Germany raises a question as
to what is the republican atti-
tude towards the Wilson for
eign policy.
There have been reasons for
believing certain big republi-
can leaders wished to base the
presidential campaign on the
charge that the president has
not been sufficiently belliger.
ent. They have tried to accuse
him of being spineless and not
sufficiently forceful in protect
ing American interests abroad.
But with the issue squarely
before congress and the cards
upon the table the titular re.
publican leader comes forward
as an obstructionist. Given an
opportunity to show his colors
on the subject of American
rights he does not measure up
to requirements. He considers
the president is too belligerent
and not spineless enough.
The Mann behavior indicates

THEY MAY co TOO FAR

~ HE disclosures regarding
VI the working of the Ger
man spy system in this
country are discomforting and
they will not promote good
feeling between the two coun-
tries. Particularly will this be
true if, as reported, there is
evidence of German efforts to
provoke trouble for us in Mexi-
co and with Japan. The Uni
ted States has been striving
hard to hold a neutral course.
1t is what the people want. The
American public does not want
to go to war with any nation in
volved in the European strug-
gle. 1t is not our affair. But
if German secret agents go too

far toward interfering with le-
gitimate industry in this coun.
try, and munition plants are le-
gitimate, and are caught trying
to get us into war with Japan
or Mexico they will do much to
align us with the allies. There
is a limit to a country's patti
ence even with a peaceful old
fellow like Uncle Sam.

RIETH

HROM numerous commu-
T nications from pioneer
residents it is obvious
that the name Rieth is very
appropriate for Pilot Rock
Junction. 1t is also a short
name and so will appeal to
those who have to write it.
What is more important to PEN
dleton it is a short distance
from Pendleton to Rieth. The
terminal station is so close as
to be virtual suburb of this
city. Yet the road to the sta.
ton is so bad that it is diff.
cult to travel. We need a good
road to the junction and PEN
dleton should in various other
ways take steps to get in bet
ter touch with the new commu-
nifty. There has not been suf-
ficient study of the question by
local people. The situation
leaves room for misunderstand-
ings and complaint. It will be
mutually advantageous for
PendletOn and Rieth to get well
acquainted.

1t Is an interesting fact that about
the time the Junius letters ceased, he
succeeded in gaining a promotion. al
though 1t was only on half-pay. Three
handwriting experts reported that they
had proved to their satisfaction that
Lees and Junius' chirography were
identical; but about a dozen experts
were quite as emphatic in their support
of other theories.
Authorities who have devoted deep
study to the identity of Junius now at
tach very little Importance to the the
DRY that Lee was the author Of that
genius mysterious letters.
One theory accepted for a time by
some authorities was that the nom de
plume "Junius' was used by COM
mittee OF writers inimical to the min
istry, and one of whose members in
variably inscribed the communications
drafted by the whole body.

The favorlte theory has been that
Junius was Philip Francis a distin-
guished British politician. When con-
fronted with the evidence of his
authorship. he uttered denials so veil
ed that they were thought to be eva

promised that he would publish the
facts. But his death INTERVIEWED be-

had championed in his writings, also
claimed that he knew absolutely who
the hidden writer was, but would go
no further than to say that 1t was not
Sir Philip Francis. whose son was at
the time striving to prove his fathers
authorship.
Several persons actually confessed
themselves to be Junius, but all of
these were soon discredited.
Who this man of mystery was will
