"PLAY SQUARE" JUDGE
TWO HUNDRED BOYS OE
Appealing to his hearers to "play
square," Judgo Willis Brown, who
lectured In the Methodist church last
night, talked to 200 ' or more Bchool
boys shortly before noon today In the
aasombly room of the city hall and
there was probably not one of his
young hearers but was Influenced by
the words of the great juvenile work
er. Judge Brown proved his ' under
standing of boy nature by the man
ner in which he presented his mes
sage to his audience of this morning.
Interesting and entertaining them with
personal anecdotes couched In the
phraseology of "kldland," he would
forcefully Interject his counsel and
advice, as a physician puts his pill In
a sugar coating, and thus he succeed
ed In implanting In the youthful
minds Ideas which otherwise would
have been jvasted In the air.
'Don't Bo a Sneak.
"Don't be a sneak," was the key
note of the judge's talk. "It Is the
sneak among the boys that becomes
the criminal among the men," he
said. "The boy who will allow his
mother and teacher to think him a
perfect little angel when In reality he
Is a perfect little devil, who swears,
and smokes and cheats behind their
back Is the boy who will break into
the penitentiary when he Is a man. It
Is the fellow who can play square tn
his work as well as in his play who
will make the good citizen."

Washington, Jan. 17. The bitter

throughout the south by the three
branches of the republican party, ac
cording to reports received here. Or
ganized campaigns are llng conduct
ed by Taft and La Follette boomers
and more recently by proponents of

Politicians were much surprised
when thejr Tieard that Ormsby Mc
Harg, who was 'dismissed as assistant
secretary of commerce and labor, be
cause he Issued an Interview charac
terizing Colonel Roosevelt as "a lit
tle yellow dog under the republican
bandwagon," was leading the Roose

ed that Colonel Roosevelt will deny
that McHarg is working for him, in
characteristic Roosevelt language.

looking after the Taft Interest.
TAFT URGES ECONOMY IN
GOVERNMENT'S AFFAIRS
In Special Message Urges Many
Changes Including Old Age Pen
sions and Annual Budget.
Washington D. C, Jan. 17. Presi
dent Taft today sent to congress his
message on "Economy and Efficiency

ernment business can be carried on

bringing about reforms, including:
pensions for superannuated employ
es; changes in handling and filing
cutting down of transportation ex
penses of employes; belter methods
for accounting, reporting and pur
chasing, and the inauguration of an
annual budget.
The president asks congress to con
tinue tho commission on economy and
efficiency and another appropriation
of $200,000 t0 carry on the work of
investigation and an additional 150
000 for the publication of the results

fant's continual crying. Mrs.
Maud Gilbert, aged twenty-five

crushing It to death. Remorse
ful today, she confessed and
was arrested.
WILLIS ADVISES
Brown told of tho famous town of
Boyvllle, within the city of Gary, In
diana, of which he Is the father. There
he said, every boy in the city becomes
a citizen of Boyvllle unon- his prom
ise to "play square" and becomes a
part In the administration of the af
fairs of the town. They have a gov
ernment of their own and when any
boy becomes refraretory. he is sent
to tne neighboring town of Boy Town
instead of the reform school, and In
this town he goes to Bchool, learns a
trade and casts aside his bad habits.
He Is privileged to run away if he
wants to, for the boy Is placed upon
his honor, but every runaway, accord
lng to the Judgo, returns in due time
and resumes his work.
As outlined by Judge Brown, his
plan In dealing with boys is an
"honor plan," a trust being placed In
each boy supposed to be incorrigible,
and he declares the plan is meeting
with great results in the reclamation
of boyhood
Both In his talk to the schoolboys
and in his lecture last night. Judge
Brown related many of his own ex
perlences with so called bad boys, each
one in the end justifying the methods
used in his redemption. The man
who has made a name for himself In
his work to save boys Is full of llfo
and vigor and a wholesome enthusiasm

JUDGE ELLIS U--SI10I MAY ENTER
RACE EOR NEW CONGRESSIONAL POST
Judge William R. Ellis of this city,
tor many years a member of the
house of representatives from Oregon
and who was defeated for re-election
by A. W. Lafferty, refuses either to
deny or confirm the persistent rumors
to the effect that he aspires once
again to sit in the congressional halls
by becoming a candidate for the re
publican nomination from the new dis
trict at the April primaries. When
Interviewed this morning by a repre
sentative of the East Oregonian, he
declared he had absolutely no state
ment whatever to make regarding the
rumors connecting his name with a
candidacy for the office of congress
man.
Will Sinnott Run?
Judge Ellis is not the only con
gressional aspirant still in the doubt
ful class. Senator N. J. Sinnott of
The Dalles has not yet made his in
tentions known. The Portland Ore
gonian published a story yesterday
morning to the effect that Sinnott
will be a candidate, though no formal
announcement has yet been made.
On the other hand the Journal con

friends of The Dalles man denied he

Fl BUILDING
HOW ASSURED
City Will Buy Site if Associ
ation Will Erect the Pa
vilion. ADJOINS ROUNDUP PARK
Everything Is Apparently Agreed Up
on Except Matter of Who la to
Make Move structure of Concrete
Blocks Considered.
It now looks probable that a per
manent fair building will be con
structed on the plot of land just east
of Round-Up Park, following a meet
ing of, members of the Umatilla-Morrow
county fair board last evening
with Pendleton citizens. If the city
will purchase the block owned by
Miss Ida Boyd and Miss Sybil Clop
ton, the concensus of opinion last
night was that a building should be
erected on it and Councilman John
Dyer made it plain that the council
would probably make the purchase If
given assurance that the building
would be put up. So it now seems
that action by either body Is interde
pendent. President Hurd was not able to
come up from Stanfield yesterday on
account of illne-s and Secretary Bick
ers presided over the meeting, which
was hel 1 in the city hall. A number
of other fair workers as well as pat
riotic citizens were present and joined
In the discussion.
It was the unanimous .sentiment
that the 'time has arrived when the
association should put up a substan
tial and permanent structure instead
of paying out a large sum each year
for preparing the present pavilion.
When the site adjoining Round-Up
Park was suggested. It met an enthu
siastic reception for the reason that
the fair wmld be greatly benefited
from the standpoint of attendance
through Its contiguity to the frontier
show.
Land Is For Sale.
The ladies who own the land have
already offered it for sale to the city
for park purposes and the council
has been considering the offer for the
past few weeks, ; Some opposition was
raised but Councilman Dyer who was
present at the meeting and who has
been one of the opponents to the pur
chase, declared his be'.lef that the city
Would readily buy the ' property If
given assurance that a fair building
would be constructed upon it. .
The land being outside the fire lim-.
its, It would bo possible for tho as
soclat'on to put up a frame building,
but there Is-a strong sentiment in fa
vor of cement blocks.
In connection with the proposal to
put up a building near Round-Up Park
it was pointed out that with the best
athletic stadium in the inland empire
already nnd with the completion of a
huge auditorium adjoining. Pendle
ton would soon become known as the
amusement center of this section of
the west.

'the race for the republican nomina
tion.
In local political circles thero is a
belief that Sinnott will get into the
campaign and those who hold this
view point to the fact that at present
there are no congressional candidates
west of Pendleton. ,
Thrco Candidates Now.
As matters now stand in tho second
district, by which title the newly cre
ated eastern Oregon district will bo
known, the avowed candidates are
John P. (Jerry) Rusk of La Grande,
S. Fred Wilson of Athena, and Georga
C. Cochran of La Grande.
Walter Ptereo May Run.
With the prospects of a lively raca
and possibly a serious split in the re
publican ranks more or less Interest
is being taken In the possible demo
cratic candidate for congress. Will
M. Peterson, local lawyer who somo
months ago was prominently mention
ed in this connection, has decided not
to get Into the game. At present the
name of Walter M. Pierce, former
joint senator from Umatilla and Un
ion counties and the owner of Hot
Lake sanitarium. Is most frequently
mentioned by those who discuss the
congressional race from a democratic
standpoint.
