NATIONAL EXTINCTION The dark history ot Poland Is to be repeated in Finland. The people of that nation are a sober, Industrious and libeity-lovins people. The cxar of Russia seems determined to crush ' out their national life, and to Russlan hte them. A dispatch from Helslngfors, Finland announce? that a decree has just been published which provides that the governor-general Is empowered, when he deems It necersary, to close schools, shops and factories, to pro hibit private meetings, dissolve pri vate associations and expel from Fin land all persons a ho ara considered un desirable. Expulsions, however, ex cept in cases which do not permit of delay, must receive imeprlal sanction Person expelled may be ordered to re side in certain places within the era pire. The decree becomes operative In three years. To a people who love their home as do the Finns and also love their liberty this leaves the hard cljoice of staying and enduring oppression or leaving the home of their childhood, abandon ing the land of their birth, breaking home ties and casting their lot with strangers. Russia Is without conscience In her territorial ambitions. PLENTY OF MONET. It la some consolation to know that richest in the world even if we do have difficulty In getting hold of money our selves. Of the four hundred billions of wealth In the world we have almost one-fourth or an average of $1235 for each man, woman and child. Our per centage of debt to wealth is lower than that of any other nation. There are now eight gold dollars In the na tional treasury for every person In the United States. These facts could not exist were conditions not favorable for the accumulation of riches. Then we must decide that failure to acquire a portion of the spoils reflects only on the individual. Accorlng to the estimates of the de partment of agriculture, the American wheat crop of 190 J will be greatest that the country has ever produced. The acreage of winter wheat is 34 millions this year and It is predicted that this vast area will yield more than 500 mil lions of bushels of grain. The winter and spring conditions have been per fect, the experts say, for the growing crop and there is no probability of fail ure later In the year. We are accus tomed to large figures In this country, but this estimated crop is far ahead of anything that has ever been record ed. It means a prosperous year for the fanners and an unprecedented amount of business for the railroads, and in cidentally Increased activity in all oth er branches of business.

Says the Record: "Or. tgon City one day to the great sur prise of her quiet ;wpultkm, will forge ahead and take her place among the cities of the west." Success to the ef fort, but that it will ever b really nec essary to dig a ship channel to Oregon City may be considered doubtful. That such prosperity shouM ever come as a surprise ' is still more Incredible Btams do not come by night any more. General Lew Wallace has been ask ed to appear In a new role that of rule maker and Judge In a genuine classic Roman chariot race, the chariots to be built as they were In the time of the Caesars, and drawn by four matched and mettled horses, harnessed abreast. The Indiana State fair Is to witness the event and the managers want to "re produce some of the features of the Ben Hur race." Surely not that feat ure where the young Hebrew deliber ately, but apparently by accident, ran into and upset the chariot ot the haugh ty Roman who had once been his friend. That was the chief feature of the race, but It is a bit too strenuous and ultra-realistic for reproduction. It Is said that more men have died and are burled on the Isthmus of Pan ama along (he line ot the proposed canal than on any equal amount of territory in the world. Our authori ties expect to be able, by better sani tary arrangements, to reduce the mor tality in future operations, but who shall say how msyiy thousands of our own citizens may be sacrificed before the waterway Is completed? , v A recent lecturer on wireless teleg raphy says communication can be car ried on between points 3000 miles apart Messages that go 704 miles when the sun isb shining will travel 2000 miles at night with the same expenditure of en ergy. Opinions are reserved as to whether the wireless system can be worked half way round the globe. If reports from the Philippines are true baldness should be placed upon the list of disabilities which entitle a soldier to a pension. It Is said that owing to the warmth and moisture the hair is almost continually wet. thereby producing baldness. ? TO CURB A COLD IN ONB DAT Taka Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.
