Mexican BuerrllUa Border warfare continues bloodily among the contending factions of the 'neighbors across the Rrio Grande, Continued trouble like that will soon Impoverish the country to such extent that they, like Turkey, will be under such heavy obligations to the Shy locks for loans that the taxes will be unbearable. 0 0 0 0 Prof. Wilson ts. Judge TaXt That's the way the people are to look at things this fall unless tire less Theodore bunts the whole pro session from the street by a new side show. Or. Wilson knows how to run a college and bow to teach the young mind how to shoot, but whether he understands the working of the helm of the ship of state Is the momentuous question before a lot of the American voters. Judge Taft has not disgraced the presidential gavel, but possibly he might have made a fine Justice of the supreme court oooo Vight Hare Been Who but the wearer of the neck lace of sorrow knows what it means In the heart of a disappointed girl when she sees the one she loves go to be the husband of another!

Now that he Is 'protected from himself, the mortuary record on the fifth of the month is less lurid than formerly. We stand for the perpetuating of a "sane Fourth." o o o o i'V - a "yanlman, the Aviator There la no permanent progress without much temporal loss. It is seen thus to be in the case of the loss of the lives of Mr. Vanlman and his -companions who were dashed to death ;at Atlantlb City this week. Man may not ibe so willing to die as it would :eem, fcut ho Is willing to take the risk aud wager h'-j life against chano ee; and he knows be cannot always expect to win. , oooo Clarence Durrow The trial at Los Sngeles Is not yet completed, but the noted attorney ap pears to be hard hit to say the least, oooo (.uuutuuq.ua Barring the two rainy days, Chau tauqua weather has been ideal. The gathered hosts of the white city In the cottonwoods is a most social Dunch of Americans, the most congenial of all the earth's peoples. The rch pro gram has been carried out to the let ter and the patrons are pleased. It looks as if It has become already a fixture In things worth while In East ern Oregon. The fine feature of the Institution Is the great outing It af fords the children. The swings, slides and everything attractive is making good future Chautauquans of the youngsters.
