It is, a fact now well recognized that much crime may be traced to physical degeneracy due to the Im proper living conditions that obtain in the slums of large cities. "Last spring it was my fortune to It on the bench with several police magistrates, and judges of the higher criminal courts," says Charles Edward Russell in "Success Magazine." "I watched the long line . of arrested persons coming up for examination, the other lines of convicted persons coming up for sentence. I had no reed of the assurance of the magis trates and the Judges that eigthy-flve ' per ' cent of the cases came from the slums and from slum conditions; no need because the fact was apparent in the faces before me. To him who ;ls at all familiar with the tenement ; house and Its products, there comes 'to be a certain mark or brand by which the products can always be recognized; the brand of pasty face and livid skin, lusterless eyes and sul Jen brows, narrow chests and shamb ling gait, things that come of life at normally1 led In bad air, dark rooms and evil surroundings. On all of these occasions it seemed to me perfectly clear, as for years It has seemed to me clear whenever my work took me Into the slums, that we are pro ducing here .In enormous numbers, a peculiar and alarming type of the hu man creature, Ill-fed, scantily blood ed, lll-fleveloped In mind as In body, deprived of the- blrthrightVf air, sun light, joy and sufficiency, and with strange twists and turns in its stunt ed brain. ; "I noticed on all these occasions, as I had often noticed before, that the voices (Sure Index of the mental state) of these young men were Strang'? and hardly human; that they had a language of their .own. made Up of animal-like sounds; that their facial angles, and ears very , often showed the' Indices of degeneracy. As a rule there appeared among them only a rudimentary senpe of right and wrong; very often they were cruel, manifesting a kind of pleasure In giv ing or viewing pain; If they laughed ilt was In a brief, evil guffaw at some thing either brutal or filthy. Even the youngest showed a savage hatred of siuthorlty; the policeman on the beat was his mortal foe." f , Man's moral condition Is Intimately linked with his physical welfare. Some day the world will learn this more fully than. the truth Is realized at present. When that time comes the efforts of those who would abolish crime will be directed at the cause of the evil. They will stop preaching so much and will seek to improve the ' physical Invlronments of that class from which most of the criminals . come. . A FALSE PRETENSION. Advocates of the assembly plan are striving hard to create the impression that -their scheme Is entirely in har mony with the direct primary. It Is a lie aa big- as ML McKlnley. If the assembly plan wore In harmony with the" spirit, of the direct primary such men as Ralph - Williams, and some others netive in the assembly cump would have nothing' to do with ll. They want to 'nullify the direct nrlinury law so they cun elect United States senators by the tactics they used unsuccessfully lust winter when the odorous Ormsby" McHa'rg was Kloiinht west to gty legislators to break their pledges.. The Oregon Journal aptly expresses the situation when -It says tha declarations of the nssemblyltes recall the remarks of the coon that returned from a neighbor ing poultry yard nn,d found in his hole a- skunk that claimed 'also to be a coon. ou say you re a coon, you talk like a coon, you look like a coon and you feel like a coon, but I'll be durned If you smell like one) ' ' THEY DOX'T LIKE IT EITHER. ' The people -of Walla Walla have been forced to'-drink" muddy water and the situation has caused a de mand for a reservoir. ,r , .- , "Experience 'of .the last few days with' the muddy wpter coming 'out of the hydrants when only pure water was expected, is an unanswerable ar gument -In favor tif a water reservoir. says the Evening Bulletin. The trou ble lasted 'about three or four days anfl a reservoir holding aj supply : of water sufficient for five days would tide us over any freshet. As a result we would have good, clear water all the time." - Commenting upon the Mine subject the Walla Walla tTnioh had the fol lowing: "The present high waters in fthls section bringing with it from the hills mud and debris of every description, aside from the damage caused has wroughtmuch invoivenience to resi dents of Walla Walla because of the muddy condition It has rendered the drinking water. For the past two days and more the city drinking wa ter surfply has been unfit to drink. Ordinarily clear, the condition Just now is something calling for action on the part of city authorities. , Be sides being unhealthful water in the present muddy state is unfit for use contaminating everything with which It comes In contact." It is very true. The ,"dark brown" variety of water Is not the best., Pen dleton had some of that sort once -aqua a la Wild ' Horse. We don't want nny more of it and can sympa thize with the Garden' City folks In their trouble. - .. IT IS VALVABLE WORK. t ( The artesian well that Is being dug by some of the enterprising men of Athena is now down to a depth of 1000 feet and has a flow of 1000 gal lons per hour. The flow at present Is not entirely satisfactory to those be hind the enterprise, yet the quality of water Is of 'the best. Perhaps the flow 'will become stronger after lower depth has been reached. The fact that they have struck an artesian flow should be encouraging to the Athena company and urge theni to go ahead with the work. It is work of value not only to Athena and vicinity but to this entire county and to east ern Oregon. It Is time this country was finding the possibilities of, irri gation from artesian wells. . How the work at Athena Is being financed the East Oregonlan has not Inquired, but as a pure matter of self Interest every farmer In that section could afford to aid In carrying out 'this project. " Oregon has much to hope from the rivalry between the Hill and the Har riman railroads. Competition In transportation Is something that was sadly lacking In this state for years, Here's hoping the rivalry will con tinue. Tf the weather man Is a gentleman he will not order any "blustering winds" for a time at least - . 1 Just at present Pendleton Is On the main line of the Southern Pacific as well as the O. R. & N. The next big event Is the school teachers convention, March 22. It will soon be here. SrCCESS IX LIFE. :. The Hero Of this Rimple ,rnle -was born of parents beastly poor; fhey tolled and wrought without avail, to scrape n living from the moor. Our hero early made resolve that' .he would strive for greater heights; "let others In these ruts revolve, and car ry on their puny fights;, to gath wealth, to live In state, Is all that makes this life worth while; and when I'm grown I'll pull my frelgnt, and try to raise a mighty pile." His dreams came true, In every way; as visions .came, In days of old; he took no time for rest or play.- hut gather ed In fat. yellow gold. By steady stifs our hero rose, to heights of use fulness and fame; he put the kibosh on his frtes and held the ace In every game. He laughed at flgtrees and at vines, and- all domestic, trifling things; he owned some railways and some mines, and was among the copper kings. But why detail his glories so? Why should we try to count his dimes? It la enough for us to know he's been r. Indicted 20 ti 's; Walt Mason in Portland Jour- nal. SIORTIXG BREVITIES.

Pomdlaton, Or. Are Drugs Necessary?' , Do Drugs Cure Disease? Can Nature be Assisted? If people were born right and after-1 wards Jived right, there would bo no nse for medicine. Every doctor knows this. So do other well-informed people. One tiling more. When a person lives wrongly, or acquires 'bodily weakness by heredity, medicine can do only vory little. Medicine cannot euro him. Only charlatans claim that medicines will Oure disease. Medicines may palliate, symptoms. Medicines may urge the powers of Naturo to resist disease. Med icines sometimes arouse the efforts of the human body to right itself against de rangements. This is the-most that med icine can do. A man accidentally puts his linger in the fire. Instinctively he wets bis finger in his mouth, then blows on il for the cooling effect. This la no cure, He knows it very well. But it makes it feel better for the time being. People eat unwisely. This produces dyspepsia or indigestion. The only rational euro is to eat correctly. 1 Yet if a palliative is at hand tho pains of indi gestion can be mitigated, the throes of dyspepsia assuaged. The medicine can not be said to have cured. It simply palliates disagreeable symptoms. The oure must comehrough right living, - Take Peruna, for instance. No one claims Feruna is a core for dyspepsia. But Peruna will stimulate the stomach to perform its function properly. Peru na Will Increase the flow of digestive fluids, without which digestion cannot be carried on at all. It will increase the relish of food, the appetite. It la admitted that all this can be accomplished by right living, bnt there are so many people ho either will not or do not know how to cat correctly that a tremendous amount of good caa be done by the wise use of Peruna. " A stomach that has been frequently abused performs tho function of diges tion very lazily. Buch a stomach allows the food to remain-undigested for some time after it is swallowed. This leads to fermentation of the food. Sour stom ach ia the result.! This goos on week after week, nntil tho blood is poisoned with the products of fermentation. This condition is very apt to produce rheum atism. It is not claimed that Pernna will cure rheumatism. Nothing will cure rheum atism bnt correct living. But it is Claimed that Peruna will assist a badly abused stomach to jovlorra iu work. SYNOPSIS OF miE AXXl'AL STATEMENT OF THE Michigan Commercial Insurance Co. Of Lansing.

If a person wonld correct his habits, persist in right eating and temperate ways, undoubtedly the stomach wonld right itself, the blood wonld rid itself of the poison, and everything would be right. But as satd before there are a multltudo of people who will notorcan not adopt right methods of living. To such people Peruna is a' boon. A dose before meals will assist the stomach to do its work. This prevents fermenta tion of the food, brings about normal digestion, and all the train of ills fliat follow indigestion disappear.'-' 2 In other words, Peruna is helpful to those who 'live - badJyil or . those who have acquired some chronio weakness, Peruna docs not cure, but it assists the powers of Natuw to bring about a cum. The whip does nut increase the power of the horse to pull a load, but judi ciously used it stimulates the horso to use his powers at the right time, with out whicb.be could not have pulled tha load. i This Illustrates the effect of Peruna, or any other good remedy upon the sys tem. Taken at the right time, it calls forth the powers of the human system to meet the en. roachments of disease, and thus cuts short, if not entirely ends, the diseased action. No one should ever attempt to substi tute medicine in the place of right liv ing. In the end such an attempt will prove a disaster. But an occasional use of. the right medicine at the right time is a godsend, and no reasonable person will undertake to deny it. - ' Those who know how to nse Peruna And it of untold value.. By and by the world will get wise enough so that through correct living nd medicine at all will be needed. But that time has not arrived." Ia the meantime, while the world Is approaching that perfec tion in which all medicine will be elim inated, Peruna is a bsndy remedy to have la the house. Slight derangements of tho stomach slight catarrhal attacks of the liver, the throat, bronchial tubes, lungs or bow els; these attacks ere euro to lead to grave diseases, and can be averted by tho judicious use of Peruna.
