It is Mid tbst the authorities at
Washington are disposed to ignore
the "round robin" of tbe Manila
correspondents, tut it cannot be
doubted that tbey were considerably
shaken up by it. There is reason to
believe that ibe statement made by
tbe newspaper men was true in some
respects, but il b not likely that a
jreat deal of importance will be
fciUubed to their complaints.
Tbe traveling correspondent, es
pecially if Le is attacbed to a journal
ot the yellow or sensational variet) , j
b.is licUeu the notion into bis bead !
that te is about the most important
individual on tbe face of tbe earth,
What he doe-n't know isn't worth

lates to military affairs, lie is under
the impression that be is paid to
furnish his paper with sloric3 that
will carry "scare" bead and it
doesn't much matter whether tbey
are based on facts or on fiction.

A sood deal of criticism of officers
during
the hte war
grew
out of tbe
spite of correspondents to whom
i'
those tflieers did not accord the
privilege tbe correspondents thought
they weic entitled to. Censorship
is a military necessity, and if it has
been exercised at Mauila it has
probably been with the best inten
tious. Some fcts msy have been
suppressed which should have been
made public, but after all it is prob
able that the people here will prefer
to trust the Philippine campaign to
Otis, McArtbur, Liwton and Wheaton
rather than to tbe newspaper cor
respondents. Spokesman-Re view.
PROSPERITY IX THE WEST.
One of tbe facts which has a dis
couraging effect on tbe leaders of tbe
Democratic party is the great in
crease in industrial activity in tbe
West, says the Globe-Democrat
Everybody, Democrat as well as
Republican, who tells anything now
adays about the social conditions in
the western states mentions the pros
perity which is diffused through all
of them. Business is more active in
" f them than was ever known
before. The ' reports of the bank
clearances from all quarters of the
Weot show an immense iicrease in
transat-tious since lust year at this
time. The earnings of the Western
railroads are at the highest figures
ever touched.
Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury Vanderlip, who has just returned
from a tour through several states in
the Mississippi Valley, is eloquent
about tbe evidences of industrial
activity and prosperity which he saw
on every Land. He remarks that
this is killing the silver issue as a
Democratic dogma. Democratic
ieadprs in the West ore saying the
. same thing. There is a 6trong dis
position among the shrewder Dem
ocratic magnates of tbe Western
states to take up some other issue,
and let silver diop out altogether, r
put it so far in the background that
it will not figure with any promi-
jjence in tbe canvass. Tbe Stones,
.3ryar,r, Joneses and Altgelds are
-apparently t till anxious to stick to it,
aud they ere likely to carry the con
vention whb Ibetu, but the wiser
men of their party, both politicians
and rditors, ere urging their side to
give up that issue and take up some
thing rise.
Tbe defection of the West is a
8 rious th;rg for the democracy. It
was on the West that the Democratic
bosses looked for a grer.t pari of
their electoral voles next year. They
knew that tbe number of states which
they can carry in the South will r.ot
furnish them with more than lia'f the
number ot votes which their party
will need to givo it the victory.
Tbe South baj long since ceased to
be solid for the Democracy. Many
votes will Lave to come from the
West to that party if it is to have
any chance to win. The Democratic
leaders know that tbey can get very
few votes from lle VTct under
present conditions. It was the busi
ness depression resulting from the
Democratic panic cf 1893 which
created the conditions in the West
which Rave the Democracy several
states in the Mississippi Valley and
on the Pacific slope iu 18DG. Re
publican prosperity has ensued since
then, and tbe entire situation is
changed. This is why tbe reports of
business activity and general pros
perity throughout tbe West, which
come from Democrats and Rejub
licans alike, have a disheartening
effect on tbe Democratic leaders. It
means a sweeping victory for tbe
Republican party in 1900.
Tbe women of tbe land have taken
up another fad, says the East Orc
gonian. Everywhere, at home and
at the summer resorts, in the mount
ains aud at tbe seaside, they are
going bareheaded. The young girls
. are not alono in adopting this "latest
wrinkle," tbe youug women os well,
'and even the old women are t'is-
playing their bare beads to an admir
ing public, to the admiration of their
bread winners, because it means a
j less expense for bead gear which Is
j always outrageously high priced,
The fashion originated some months
ago at Bar Harbor, among a set of
young women who were in tbe habit
jof taking off their bats to play tennis.
From this her?inninz tbey took to
riding bicycles horses and hobbies,
nit flrivintT nnil fivnn luditlino

canoes without their bats, and ther ..
practice spread to others, until now, j
girls every where are imitating their j
more origiual sisters In far off Maine.
There is hea'th in the sunshine; in
some cases with nothing but luxuri
ous hair, and in others with only the
canopy of heaven for head gear.
And a brown face, with its hue of
health and vigorousness. with the
charm of femininity behind it, is a
much more pleasing sight than the
bleached and pallid cheeks of those
who avoid the sun or open air, or
than the rouged and powdered faces
of the '"foolish virgins" who "make
up their complexions" for purposes
of their own. Thero are some old
fashioned people, who look upon
woman as a plaything and a to-, that
will see in the bareheaded woman
proof of that "loss of charm" and
lapse from feminine sensibility and
reserve which is attributed to the
"craze for athleticism." There are
man' who will carry the fad so far
as to destroy their fair skin and
beautiful complexion, which are
nature's gilts, and these should re
member that a long continued sun
beam is one of the things that does
not wear out, as can be proven bj i

Secretary Wilson, who is visiting
O.egon, is a member of tbe presi
dent's cabinet who is especially well
qualifled for tbe position he holds.
He is a practical agriculturist, a man
of keen observation, and active in
advancing the agricultural interests
of the whole country. Mr. Wilson
tells us some things that we knew
before that we import too many
things that wo can raise here almost
to perfection but this cannot be
told too many times, nor by too
many influential voices, nnd if Mr.
Wilson's chiding docs no good, it!
can elo no harm. Oregon is in
several localities one of the best
agricultural states of the Union, and
it welcomes Secretary Wilson and
cordially invites his close inspection.
Telegram.
It is gratifying to note that the
use of American flour abroad Los
reached Stl bloh.tr mnrlr In ft,
a.. .u " i
fiscal year Just closed with nn ex
portation of 18,000,000 barrels. The
average price per bushel of wheat
exported during the year was 7 1.77c.
and the average price per bushel for
ih wheat exDorted in the form of
flour was 87.67c, calculating that
4 bushels of wheat are utilized in
the production of a bairel of flour.
This adds 12.9c. to the amount of
money received for each bushel of
wheat sent abroad in this form, thus
making over 10,000,000 during the
year as a condensation to the Amer
ican labor which transformed the
80,000,000 bushels of grain into tbe
18,000,000 barrels of fljur exporUid
during the year.
AX EXGLISIf VICTORY.
Oxford and Csmbiidge athletes
were victorious by a narrow margin
over the representatives of Yale
and Harvard in the events at Queen's
Deld In a most sportsmanlike contest,
but tbe victory can not be called a
sweeping one. Tbe visitors were
handicapped by the charge cf
climate and water, the strange field
and the introduction of the three
mile run, for which tbey were un
prepared, yet they made an excellent
showing against the flower of college
athletes in Great Britain. Yale and
Harvard athletes are not the fastest
collegians in America this year. In
fact, of the four great colleges which
make pretensions to representative
championships, tbey are weaker
combined than Pennsylvania. It is
highly probable that Pennsylvania
alone could defeat tbe Englishmen
with little trouble. Kraenzlin, the
famous athlete of Pcnnsj Ivania,
could be depended upwn to win the
hurdles, the high jump and broad
his
college who could more than hold
their own in other events. In the
recent intercollegiate games between
American college athletes Pennsyl
vania scored more points than tbe
second and third colleges combined,
her neatest competitor having less
than one-half the points of Pennsyl
vania. Ko true sportsman desires to take
from the glory of the English
athletes. They were most gentle
manly in their treatment of Ameri
can cousins before tbe struggle,
during the progress of the games and
after their conclusion, but they did
not defeat All-America by any man
ner of means. The contests were
between virtually All England col
legiates and only two American
colleges. The entire affair, however,
has been productive of the best of
feeling ami probably will lead to
international amateur athletics of
more general character.
Mr. James Creelman is a mysteri
ous sort of person. A few weeks ago
be was performing alleged wonders
" " ""l"'"' " ni, using
rncr pigeons, and anticipating the
"eWS of thc turrent (U for ,l,c
American - breakfast table. Now
Mr- Creelman is out in a statement
thnt 4ifpn. Ori' ronrlilinns fnr nrmu
aispaicues were so outrageously un
fair that I and other correspondents,
too, refused - to send anything, pre
ferring not to send a lot of lies."
The papers that printed so-called
Creelman dispatches seem to have
filled the vacuum with devices of
'uC'r wn singing Lis name to them,
though he was sending nothing, as he
states himself. Mr. Creelman thinks
Otis should have attacked Aguinaldo
instead of trying to avoid hostilities;
that Otis is incompetent and a mili
tary blunderer, and as a censor of
newspaper sensation simply unendur
able. In a word, tbo United States
has missed a gieat opportunity by
not putting Creelman in command
instead of Otis.

We learn from the
Riculinz Bros.' circus.
Teieffraru that
tiich exhibited
here last month, and which is the beat
show ever seen in Tbe Dalles, bad a
tussle with a wind storm at Crookelon,
Minn., which was most exciting while
it lasted, but by miraculous good luck
nobody was killed, though there were
broken libs nJ other bones, cnt beads
and many minor bruises before the
people were rescued from the tangled
mass of canvas, poles and ropes.
Tbe magnificent animal tect was
lowered, close hauled, at the beginning
of the storm and saved a ranic and
stampedo among tbe beasts.
The main circus tent, however, was
truck at tbe first blast of tbe storm.
The wind and rain came together, tbe
canvas being lifted on the side where
the reserved seats wpre placed and
carried clear over tbe beads of that
portion ot the audience, falling la a
tanuled mass of rx!es and canvas upon
the spectators opposite. In a moment
the wildest confusion reigned. The
groans of the injured, tbe thrieks of
frightened women and the shouts of
men separated in the darkness from
their w ives and families arose above the
fury of the storm, making a veritable
bedlam. Cooler hads warned people
to remain quiet and in doin eo averted
a stampede which, had it fcccurred,
would doubtless have resulted in many
being tramped to death.
As fast as possible those who were
able extricated themselves from the
mass of struggling humanity, and sought
temporary refoge from the angry ele
ments in surrounding houses and barns.
The proprietors and their force of men
worked heroically to rescue the people
from tLe storm-wrecked tent before pay
ing any attention to tbe circus property
further than to make the wild beasts in
the menagerie safe.
About -00 people were more or less
injured, none seriously, and the circus
people, after working all night, pulled
out for Farjo next morning soon after
daylight.
EVERYONE NEEDS A VACATION
The Men aa WMI the Women,
Ihfy Should Take It.
and
A matron of Pendleton, reading an
editorial in the East Ore;;onian the
other day relating to summer vacations
and wives who go away with the
children, leaving the poor "hnbby"
sweltering In the hot, hot winds and
awfully high temperature of this part of
the earth, said vigorously as follows and
to the coint:
"Now, I want to siy something for
tbe women. I believe in vacations. I
believe in them for the women, and
I believe in them for the men. Time
taken from business by the men, and
from household cures by the women, is
time well spent. That is, a reasonably
long vacation time. Yon return re
freshed, and the better able to take up
the work of life, and accomplish good
results.
"Thd American man needs education
along this line. He is a slave. He is a
slave to his business. He thinks that
he must remain at bis desk or in his
office or behind the counter the entire
twelve months, and that his business
will go to rack and ruin if be leave it
for a month to seek rest and recreation
at some summer resort.
"I will venture the assertion that, if
the average business man will follow my
advice, he will be astonished at the
outcome. Here is my advice:
"Let him say to his chief assistant
'I am going away for a month, and waut
yon to handle tho business while I am
gone. Attend to it the best you can,
and, upon my return, yon may go for a
month on full pay, and have your rest.'
That assistant will work faithfully
during the absence of his employer, and,
besides the natural and certain desire to
be commended upon tbe employer's ro
torn for good management and attention
to duty, be will have the extra Incentive
before him of a vacation with no loss of
lie will, ten to one, do all of his own
work, and the employer's too, and thines
win go on in that establishment almost
as smoothly as though the proprietor
were there.
'My husband has been tied down for
I he past fifteen years, in this city, and
has scarcely taken one vacation duriiu
all that time. What does life mean to
such a men? If he is not a slave, then
i would like to learn in what slavery
consists.
"If husbands would go away for the
summer with their wives, and both rest
and eujy themselves at some resort
agreeable to both, thev would return
worth just about two wives and two
husband for tbe remainder of the year.
the men of Pendlelf.n need reform
ing in this particular. Th.y need it
very badly. I wish some influence
could cflott that reform. It would bring
good results, and everyone would be
happier for the cbango."

the .Second Oregon volunteers.
Th article, referred to is a jumble of
unkind iniiniialiona afniiiHt the intelli
gence and patriotism of tho men of the
regiment, and is unj.it and unpatriotic.
The president bad a riht to say
where the muster-out should occur, and
be nleo bad the good seneo to allow the
boys to decide where it should be. No
one has yet learned that it is "against
army regulations to muster-out at Van

are a lot of timplctons instead of pat

thing more substantial than iuiprei

paid to each enlUted man on the train,
between San Francisco and Portland,
will no doubt mostly bo in their pockets
after they reach the latter place; besides
it belongs to them, and it is none of
our business how they use it.
We are all gieatly disappointed at the
decision to muster-out at San Francisco"
yet the boys judged that it was financial
ly to their interests to do as they have,
and they are the sole judges as to that.
The insinuation that the boys should
be told to go to San Francisco for their

such a thing.
