WO BID GLIMPSE.
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.

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

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! Who
sadly says: "It might have been!'
Tfet when the fault has not been her
own, she can rest In the assurance of
a good conscience. Champ Clark will
never be president, nor will W. J.
Bryan. Both are out.
oooo
.. William Jennings Bryan
llrfl BMFWYetaolnCMFWYPSHRD
Mr. Bryan Is out but not down. For
itaese many years he has been a fa
miliar figure in all the cartoons but
never has anyone hinted at a lapse of
this man from the straight and strait
fray of absolute righteousness. Mr.
Bryan yet has a character to lose.
oooo
Fourth of July
More and more in the public eye is
the Idea of a sane Fourth. The day
means the heart Judication of the
American people, but it never meant
murder of the child. 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."

"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.

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.

A Mob. i I
A mob is usually a creature of very 1
mysterious existence, particularly In a l
large city. Where It comes from or d
wbltber it goes few men can tell. As- j
sembllng and dispersing with equal ; p
suddenness. It Is as difficult to follow , jp
to Its various sources ns tbe sea Itself, ?.
nor does tbe parallel stop bore, for tbe I g
ocean is not more fickle and uncertain, 1
more terrible when aroused, more un- ,' f.
reasonable or more cruel. Dickens.
