I couldn't reproduce the problem with the standard graphics, but you
graphics shows it. 

You are using the wrong graphicx driver: dvipdf in winedt calls
dvipdfmx but by default graphicx loads the driver for dvips. 

So try 

\usepackage[dvipdfmx]{graphicx}

You can use 

\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{epstopdf}

and then run pdflatex. This will convert your eps on-the-fly.
