A WHITE HOPE.
Mobs are seeking novelties. Old
fashioned hanging bees are growing
monotonous. Even the fiery stake is
losing its charm through too frequent
exhibition. It is not long since it was
reported that a Georgia mob had tied
a negro to a railway track to be run
over by a train. A Florida mob on
Thursday, took Proech Nellis, a negro
into an open space He was told to
run, and when he ran, more than a
hundred men opened nre on him. The
Ocala dispatch naively says: "He was
shot to pieces."
This, however, was not new, any
" more than burning at the stage is
new. Burning was done by the In
dians when in the savage state, but
in the burning of the negro at Purcell,
Ok., the Chickasaw Indians, who are
numerous thereabouts, refused to par
ticipate. A finer proof of the Indians'
advancing civilization could" not be
offered than this evidence that he is
now so far advanced that he refuses
to revert, under strong temptation,
to the barbarism of his forefathers.
This leads not only to the hope, but
to the confident belief, that the Indian
would be equally strong to resist
- temptation to revert to that form of
barbarism, popular with his ancestors,
of releasing a prisoner, with a com
mand to run, and then filling his body
with arrows. It is many years since
Indians were guilty of such barbari
ties. They would still be barbarous, as
to methods of execution, even after
conviction of the most heinous crime.
In the case -of Preech Nelis, he had
not been given so much as a prelim
inary examination. Charged with a
double murder in the perpetration of
an unspeakable crime, there can be
no doubt that, even on nothing more
than prima facie evidence, he would
have been convicted and made to
suffer the penalty of the Florida law.

P day. Is it to be. wondered at that there is discontent at one
end of the seesaw of human society and ignorant light
heartedness at the other ? The church of God is no longer a
lighthouse in the world. Its pulpit is no longer filled with men who
find their inspiration in the Master's teachings. It has become a

In that impressive way t& inspire both
respect and terror in the- criminally
minded. But for the purpose of mak
ing a savage holiday, he was denied
a trial, and made a victim of such in
humanity as always arouses hate, re
sentment and new crimes, instead of
respect and dread. We trust that, in
time, all of the whites of this country
will be as well civilized as all of the
Indians are now. No white man need
despair of attaining civilization while
he has the high example of t"he In
dian before him.
TO DRIVE
"GOLDEN SPIKE"
(Continued from page 1)
Every effort wijl be made to bring
a large crowd to Oregon City. Adver
tising and soliciting committees have
been appointed, and a definite pro
gramme will be prepared and announ
ced within a few days. The driving
of the first spike in the Clackamas
Southern marks an era in the prog
ress of Clackamas County, as the
road is strictly a "made in Clacka
mas" product and will tap a riah
country that is now without adequate
transportation facilities to bring its
timber', lime and farm products to
the markets.
COLLEGE BOY'S DAD
WONT PAYCOAT BILL
NEW YORK. Dec 3 Sixty-five dol
lars is too much for a college boy to
pay for an overcoat when his father
is wearing a, $20 one, and the New
York Supreme Court has just declined
to enforce payment by the father of
a tailor's bill of this character.
The suit was- brought by a tailor in
Middletown, Conn., against M. A. Bail
ey, of New York, whose son is a stu
dent at Wesleyan University. When
the tailor sent his bill to Bailey, the
father replied:
"I acknowledge no responsibility for
this' account. My son needed an over
coat and I expected to purchase it for
him at $20. The clothes I expected to
purchase were of the grade that I pur
chase for myself, the grade is in har
mony with his station in life."
DEFENDS LYNCHING
RICHMOND, Va., Dec. 3. In the
name of the State of South Carolina,
Governor Blease served notice to the
Governor's conference here today that
lynchers of negro assailants of white
women in his state would go unpunish
ed. Governor Blease warmly defended
his use of. pardoning power as well as
declaring that in 22 months he had
pardoned or paroled approximately
400 persons and that he hoped, the
number at the end of the second term
would be 800.
"I have said all over South Caro
lina and I say it again now," he de
clared, "that I will never order out
the militia to shoot down their neigh
bors and protect a black brute who
commits the nameless crime against
a white woman.-'
EASTERN EGG SHIPMENT
Portland commission men report as
a general rule that the egg market
is slow and that 40c is about all fresh
Oregon stock will bring at this time
Some regard 42 l-2c the top, but oth
ers say that it is hard, to move stock
in any material quantity at better
than 40c. Eastern eggs in the mar
ket are having considerable effect on
the market, and the charge is made
that some interests are boosting the
price on Oregon eggs to create a
market for the eastern product.
The cheese and butter markets re
main steady with no intlication of an
immediate change.
The poultry market continues
steady. Receipts were light Tuesday
and the market was pretty well clean
ed up. Prices remain unchanged,
however.' It is said that ducks move
quite freely, Indian runners bringing
11c to 12c and Pekins 13c to 14c.
Quite a number of live turkeys were
in the market and it is expected
they will continue coming in till 1
the holidays. A tew dressed tur
keys are still to be had, holdover
stock from Thanksgiving and in good
condition.

Sweetheart of "Robin Adair."
"Robin Adair" was written by Lady
Caroline Keppel. the daughter of the
Earl of Albemarle. Robin was a real
character, a young Irish doctor who
had been forced by a scandalous ad
venture to lwve Ireland and seek his
fortune in England. Chance threw a j
rich patient in his way. a lady of qual- 1
lty. and at her house he met Lady Car
oline, and the result was a case of love
at first sight on both sides. Her par
ents objected and sent her away, and
during her absence she produced the
song.

WAR THREATENING
WHOLE OF EUROPE
LONDON, Dec. 3 While Turkey
and the Balkan allies hesitate on the
brink of an armistice today with a
growing probability that no agreement 1
will be reached, London is far more i
gravely concerned over the increas-1
ing danger that Europe is to be in-1
volved in war over a division of the
spoils to be taken from the sultan. 1
Sharp upon Chancellor von Beth- i
mann-Hollweg's jingo speech in the j
German reichtag, Austria, the kais-'
er's ally, is quoted as threatening
that a division of her forces mobilized
at Semlin, Hungary, will move at once i
into Servia if, as is expected, Consul j
Edl reports that Servian troops mal-'
treated or insulted Austrians after I
the fall of Prisrend. This would mean '
war, and it is believed certain that
Russia, which is reported to have j
500,000 men ready in Poland, would 1
attack Austria the moment an Aus- i
trian soldier crossed the Servian bord- j
er.
The injection of Roumania into the !
situation is also causing the gravest
anxiety. The visit today of the crown
prince of Roumania to Berlin and his
expected interview tomorrow with the
German foreign minister, are consid
ered as a certain indication that the
kaiser and his allies Italy and Aus
tria have made plans to cover ail
eventualities. It is .suspected that
Roumania, if an European war seem3
unavoidable, will be cast in the role
of aggressor against Bulgaria. Then,
if Russia comes to the aid of her ally,
Austria and Germany might take a
hand in the struggle without openly
incurring the onus of starting hostil
ities. Greece's refusal to sign the peace
protocol, which came today on definite
instructions from Athens to the Greek
envoy, Is believed to have made the
situation more serious.
The refusal of the other Balkan
states to act without Greece and the
evident determination that they stand
together, is admitted to have greatly
strengthened Servia's hand. It prac
tically disposes or reports that fric
tion existed between the little king
doms which have broken Turkey's
power in Europe, and makes it more
probable that in a general convulsion
Russia and Servia could depend on
their active support as aginst Ger
many, Austria, Italy and Roumania.
Adding to the serious aspect of the
situation are reports of the gravely
hostile attitude toward Servia which
prevails in Austria. The Buda Pest
Dirlar, a newspaper, demands that
the king of Servia be compelled to ap
pear in full regalia before the Aus
trian legation at Belgrade and there
publicly express regret for the alleged
insults to. Consul Prochaska at Pris
rend, and make promises to punish
the guilty.
' Bits About the Baby.
Nervousness may not be catalogued
as a disease, but If It 1s not it certainly
should be.
The mother who Is nervous will al
ways have a nervous baby, and unless
that baby Is treated In the proper man
ner the nerves will develop most trou
blesome habits, to say the least.
Take, for Instance, the case of a
young mother who cannot sleep well.
Her child will not sleep well either He
will not grow as much as be should
nor in the way he should. His food
will not aprree with him, in the first
place, and unless this trouble is cor
rected early tu his life chronic Indiges
tion will certainly be his Inheritance.
The lack of sleep and poor assimila
tion of the food he takes will produce
all sorts of ailments, undermine the
health and iirrest the natural develop
ment.
If the mother does not nurse the
baby and it is better for the nervous,
annemic mother not to attempt it
then the selection of a proper food Is a
great problem: -Cow's milk modified
with bar'ey water is the best substitute
for healthy breast milk, but sometime
the little stranger cannot take the
cow's milk. - Then the best thing to do
is to consult the doctor and let him
suggest whatever he may think is wise
to us instead .
Seems So.
