Praise pours in for the Pendleton Round-up noting lack of rowdyism, women walking midnight streets safely, and police protection. Locals credit buckaroos and Umatilla Indians for orderly behavior while criminals faced sheriff’s attention. Public trust in newspapers and ownership is highlighted as essential to truth.
The East Oregonian argues for full disclosure of newspaper ownership and advertising, criticizing federal publicity laws as a postal matter control issue. Governor Wilton supports labor rights and critiques both organized labor and capital, while contrasting Roosevelt and Wilson on labor ties. Pendleton’s Round-Up and The Ettor trial are touched, ending with a Pittsburg Post anecdote.
A Pittsburgh worker travels to Harrisburg seeking a door tender position. The boss grants a curious task to find a door without a doortender. After days of searching the worker reports no such door exists, and the plan collapses as the boss mutters a final remark.
A Denver Republican poem recounts the last long horn steers driven to a final stand on the mesa. It evokes cowboys, the Chisholm trail, and memory of the old west as foreman Texas Bill signals retreat after the kill, hoping the shots mark the end of an era.
A humorous exchange features a Reverend and a tailors son discussing causes. The Reverend claims many cancers stem from smoking black clay pipes while the Son quips that many black eyes result from people minding their own business. The dialogue reflects playful observations rather than scientific certainty.
The Pendleton Round-Up is celebrated as a cultural snapshot of early western life. It emphasizes skill and daring in showcasing mastery over animals, a spectacle likely to endure while human nature remains unchanged, preserving a link to a fading era of buffalo, cowboy, wild horse, and wild steer until such entertainments fade.
The passage argues the Pendleton Airplay and the cowboy figure will endure in memory as dramatic, historical icons. It suggests fascination with old Western life persists beyond actual people, turning past deeds into enduring public interest and heroic, complex characterizations.
