The campaign In the First Congressional District has ended and the election Is In progress today. The result cannot be known until the ballots are counted and It Is Idle to attempt to forecast it at this time. One thing seems apparent, and that Is that the '.vote is light throughout the district, an unusual proportion of the voters showing an . i- apathy which, is inexcusable, in view. of the real issue' involved. FOR THE VITAL QUESTION THAT IS TO BE DETERMINED AT THE POLLS TODAY'IS WHETHER THE VOTERS OF THE FIRST DISTRICT SHALL BE REP . RESENTED IN' CONGRESS BY A DISCREDITED POLITICIAN, WHOSE LONG RECORD O.F .OFFICE SEEKING AND OFFICE HOLDING HAS UPON IT THE DARK BLOT OF 'MALFEASANCE, AND WHO HAS BEEN REPEATEDLY CHARGED BY THE PRESS OF HIS OWN PARTY WITH CORRUPTION AND DISHONESTY, OR J WHETHER THEY SHALL 8END AS THEIR REPRESENTATIVE A MAN OF - - KNOWN AND PROVED INTEGRITY, OF STAINLESS LIFE AND OF UN QUESTIONED ABILITY. This Is more than a party issue. It is the Issue between decency and Indecency In publto- lifer and ne-citlzen- of the district, who appreciates the obligations of the fran-- . chise and who -would cherish the good name of his state should hesitate between the two candidates. . . - e ..Jwperats). Appeahi have, heen. .nmde ..to the party, loyalty of. the ..Republicans of the. 't district and frantic efforts have been made to create the belief that the defeat ofBlngef Hermann will be a rebuff to President Roosevelt and the national, administration.' 'Every " , possible artifice has been resorted to in the attempt to mislead the public and to befog he rt-al question which the campaign hs' to determine. A glaring "Instance of the false - - hoods--by-which- the Hermann pr?ss has sought- t secure the election of the Re publican candidate is found In an editorial paragraph which appears in this morning's Oregonian, and which asserts that "the'only effect a Democratic victory in the First District today would have on the national mind would be to encourage the opinion that Oregon has repudiated President Roosevelt, and that on the heels of his recent visit. A vote for . Reames is a vote for the trusts." UNLESS PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT IS TO BE REGARDED AS THE FRIEND AND APOLOGIST OF OFFICIAL DISHONESTY THIS STATEMENT IS ABSOLUTELY UNTRUE. , , It was during President Roosevelt's administration that Blnger Hermann was dls- y missed in disgrace from the land office, and had the President then bejleved him to be an .J honest and capable official he could have retained him, by a. word, in his office. 'r The assertion that "a vote for Reames Is a vote for the trusts" is a malicious and a - willful falsehood. No man has been more outspoken than Mr. Reames In his declara tions in favor of restraining the power of the trusts, and no man,' on the other hand, has A teen more notoriously their subservient tool than Binger Hermann. ? During ail his long career In office Hermann has been the willing Instrument of the corporations. Their interests have been his Interests. Their will has been his guide. ', The huge timber grabbing syndicates have found In him an unscrupulous and an ever j ready; agent. This fact is notorious and Indisputable. Jealous of the good name of the state, The Journal has done Its utmost' to avert the disgrace of Having In Washington a" man so utterly unfit to represent the people .' as Binger Hermann. If he shall be defeated It will be 'one of the most signal victories for decency and good government that the state has ever known. ....IF; HE SHALL BE ELECTED, THE RESPONSIBILITY MUST REST UPON THE VOTERS OF THE DISTRICT, AND MOST OF ALL UPON THOSE WHO, BY FAILING TO GO TO THE POLLS, HAVE RENDERED HIS ELECTION . POSSIBLE '-' The. Journal trusts that honest men will be In sufficient number to elect Reames v. and believes that they will be. But The Journal will nevfr give one lota, of support to Hermann In or out of Congress. The , good name of Oregon win be redeemed, no matter whether, it takes months or four years to rescue It". (Copyright WW. by W. R, Hearst.) Traveling for two or three months through the great Wast teaches one accustomed to New Tork and New England, many things. I have visited New Orleans, Los Angeles, Pasedena, San Diego, San Francisco, Port land, or Bait Lake City, Denver. Kansas City and St. Louis. In the South, perhaps a little more marked than elsewhere, art to. be found the warmth and cordiality of manner which are features of the entire great West, and which are noticeably lacking In the manner of Eastern people toward strangers.. Human beings are greatly the result of climate when we come to manners and morals, and the climate of the South la reflected in the manner of the people-one meets there In society or in business. , "In New Orleans," I heard an Eastern man say, "the business men make you feel that you have conferred a favor upon them by calling In the Interest of your own affairs. In New Tork and New England they not Infrequently give you the Impression that you are unwelcome, even when you are calling in their own Interest. The Southern man never makes you realise that he Is in a hurry the Eastern man always does." In the great West a similar spirit exists, especially In the towns composed largely of native-born Westerners. , San Francisco Is an essentially Western city. Next to New Tork It seemed to me the most metropolitan and cosmopolitan of all our towns. Its citizens are widely travelled, widely read and are full of. the energy and electricity to be found In Its climate, They are demoted to their town with a loyalty that Is delightful, and while they are all engrossed in affairs of Interest to themselves, their hearts, purses and homes are open to the stranger sojourning in their midst. They love to visit the East, but one rarely encounters a native of San Francisco that would be willing to live In New Tork. , ... Even greater than the state pride of the Callfornlan is that of the Oregonian. At the Pan-American Exposition I observed the extreme enthusiasm of that com paratlvely young state, and I found It still more noticeable during my visit in Portland. The face of the native Oregonian is illuminated when speaking of the present and. the future of his state, and it is difficult for him to understand the Ignorance of the Eastern mind regarding Its wonderful history and growth. The native Westerner knows all about the East, but he knows all about the West, too, while the Eastern man rarely knows anything not connected with the East or Europe. I have heard much all my life of "Sunny California," and I found Indeed much sun shine there, yet for real, continuous, glowing, golden, reliable sunshine Denver, Colo., Is far ahead of California, i wonder we do not hear more of that fact. It Is an intoxicating climate at best In the Springtime. I am a sun worshipper, and it appealed directly to my heart and mind and senses that continual, glorious glow. And .yet there Is a sting and a tingle to the air that stirs people to do things and la a spur to business and social life. I saw no dull, ennuld or pessimistic face while in Denver. Kansas City, Mo:, with a less admirable or reliable climate, has all the spirit, push and life that are observable throughout the whole great West, and It has what cities further west lack a magnificently fertile farming country surrounding it. The slxe of the city and the beauty and magnificence of Its homes were a surprise to my mind cramped somewhat by 19 years of Eastern life, where I have not kept myself Informed of what strides the great West was making. All hall to the new South and the great West. Yet, personally, I feel I could never be wholly happy to live in summer out of sight of the Atlantic or in winter without three months of ugly, noisy, uncomfortable, bad-mannered New Tork such Is the result of habit and the growth of affection for what is one's own. But what New York and New England need to do Is to learn of the progress, the wealth, the culture, the growth of places and people not In their own close envlronmnt, and to try and emulate the kindlier and more agreeable qualities to be found In the South and West, both in the social and business world. In the 16 counties of Eastern Oregon are 1,000,000 acres of arid land, '90 per cent of which Is tillable under irrigation. , There are now 225,000 acres in the state under Irrigation, and it Is estimated that 30,000 acres more can be covered by local ditch companies aid private enterprises. The remainder of the 8,000,000 acres presents too many difficulties for private ' capital and must be. reclaimed by the government or state. J The government hydrographer, F. H. New ell, in his report to Congress, shows that all the arid land of Eastern Oregon Is suscept lblc to irrigation by the storage reservlor system. The water-gathering area of the high mountains of Eastern Oregon la sufficient to reclaim double the amount of land now susceptible to irrigation If stored and ap plied scientifically. The contour of the country and, the gradually sloping foothill regions, which form natural highways for canals from the water sources to the arid plains, make EasternV Oregon the most per fect Irrigation site on the Coast. Another favorable feature of the arid dis tricts of Oregon is that the land susceptible to Irrigation lies in large bodies, and contin uous tracts, so that one main system of canals and reserviors can be made to cover the greatest possible area. It does away with the cost of labor of building so many central sites for distribution. The main body of Umatilla and Morrow! MCto county ana land can be covered with on main canal, beginning at Yoakum, and ex tending around the , brow t of the -range of ' hills for 80 miles to the west. The Harney , and Malheur County deserts lie in large bodies.' and Waaco. Crook and Baker enjoy the same advantage. There is no region on earth where the fa- S vorable features of reclamation are. so hap- puy comomea as in iastern Oregon. Cll ate, soil, water and land all 'Invite the hoi seeker. The conditions are all favorab poor men, who are compelled to work for wages. The old settlements furnish an abundance , of labor. The proliflo soil and abundant crops bring the cost of living down below the average on the Pacific Coast, and the open public domain which can he home steaded by the poor man and Improved at leisure, while he is working near, makes this an inviting field for settlement. . The' arid land issue should not die because people are too busy - to attend conventions called for its discussion. The reclamation of Oregon depends not so much upon reports of expets as upon the activity of the prac tical, working, irrlgatlonlsts who have crops growing under ditch systems, and whose homes are living object lessons in conquer ing the wilderness. . Too many Irrigation meetings cannot be held. The subject cannot be discussed too frequently, for the government never listening for good results In any of partments. Pendleton East Oregonla ' THE NATIONAL GAME. The baseball fever is no respecter of persons. The broker with the high hat nnd the bank account and the barefooted boy stand side by side and eagerly await the next inning. But there Is some little interest when it comes out that the fever that comes with the first game reaches the dignified, ecclesiastic. But it does, and It sometimes goes very high. One day last Summer, when the leading teams were running close, a reporter called on Cardinal Gibbons to ask him some questions regarding the. pope's encyclical which "had recently been published. The cardinal granted' the Interview and the reporter left the room. He was going down the steps when his eminence, leaning over the land ing, called out: "Have -yu -heard today's score?" - - "Yes," said the surprised reporter, "it was 2 to 3 and in our favor." "Good," said the cardinal, with a smile; "that puts' us two points ahead, doesn't it?" The reporter didn't know, but he realized that the cardinal knew a great many things that he didn't know. " '' ' '. '" SNUB FOR THE" RECTOR. - The Rev. W. 8. Ralnsford, rector of St. Oedrge's, the noted New York church, told In Philadelphia on the day he preached the Bermon that caused him te be charged with heresy of a snub an old lady once gave him. "I had the habit in my youth," said Dr. Ralnsford, "oT conditioning ail mTlproposed actions with the phrase, 'Deo volente,' or 'God willing,' or something of that sort, An aged woman, the head of an aristocratic family, invited me one morning to dine with her the following night. " 'I shall be delighted to dine with you madam,' I said, if I am spared.' "The terminal phrase seemed to displease her. Perhaps she thought she sniffed can't In it. She frowned and said: " 'Ob, if you're dead, I'll not expect you.' " Kansas City Journal. "HOT HEADS OF UNIONISM." Charles S. Darrow, who was appointed attorney for the coal miners by President Rovtevelt. in a recent address on "Unionism," in Chicago, said that the union fever had become so strong that many of the most worthy labor organizations had been suddenly filled up without discrimination, with men who do not understand the principles of or ganliatlon, and who are willing to hide behind the union, while satisfying a narrow personal spite against worthy business institutions which are absolutely just in their dealings. He Bald the greatest danger confronting the unions is the "hot heads," who will not reason, who refuse to think. This class of men do not seek peace, they only seek revenge. They are willing to wreck their organization in order to declare boycott or force-a strike. They are surely and certainly bringing the public to look in distrust on all unions and will sooner or later destroy the entire power, of tho unions for good.

' A HUNGARIAN VIEW. Dr. Emll Reich, the famous Hungarian historian, has been studying conditions in America and gives vent to his enthusiasm in the following terms: "The American com monwealth differs from Europe in two most essential points. These two points are The- practical immunity of the states from any serious attack on the part of a powerful hostile army or navy, and the constant exposure of all the social and most of the economical and political Institutions of the states to the invasion, raids and warfares waged against the American male by that greatest surprise of the nineteenth century. june American woman. ipe iearnea doctor promises to become a fit successor of Max O'Rell, in the role of lover nnd Journalistic knight to the women of America.

When a thunder cloud which is highly charged with positive electricity Tiangs oyer a certain place, the earth beneath It becomes abnormally charged with the negative electric current,, and a man, animal or other object standing or lying directly beneath comes ajpo under this. Influence. If, while the fnan, animal or other object is in this con dition a discharge takes place from the cloud above the restoration of the equilibrium' will be sudden and violent, or, in other words, the negative current from the earth will rush up to Join the positive cloud current, and in passing through the object which separates the two currents, if it be an animate thing, will do so With such force as to produce almost invariably instant death.

" - WHAT MAKES THINGS GROWf According to Maurl Springer, a French writer on the subject,, the energy of growth is closely related to electric energy and may be identical with it. At any rate, growth energy is closely connected with the phenomenon called osmosis that is, molecular pressure due to difference of density in adjacent liquid masses. - Such molecular pressure in the cells of the body he believes to be the phenomenon tAat underlies the multiplication of these .cells in growth, and osompsis has" been shown by experiment to be closely connected with electricity. The writer referred to believes that we shall soon be able to measure growth energy as we now do heat o electricity, and perhaps control it so as to produce tall or short families of races at our pleasure.

With the launching in England of the new channel steamer Queen last week the passengers en rute to France were prom ised immunity from seasickness.- - The Queen is a turbine vessel fitted with the Parsons engines, and the builders have undertaken that she shall have an average sea speed of 21 knots. By the Introduction of the turbine principle it Is claimed that all vibration is done away with. The oscillation caused by the paddle wheels and the throb of the screw are absent. Clear of the pier or wharf, a turbine steamer runs Into a nice, laxy swing, and tha side screws, which greatly add to her speed, impart general steadiness. Very rarely Is there any pitching. The machinery works quite noiselessly. The vessel moves forward as if she were a fish, rather than a complicated mechanical structure. There are three screws to a turbine steamer. The two side shafts take the place of the ordinary twin screws, and the center shaft runs free. The maneuvering power Is as great as In an ordinary steamer, while In going astern there is none of that most un pleasant grinding motion so familiar to the traveler. So many steamers have from time to time been built for the cross-channel passage which have been promised to overcome all risk of sea-sickness that a certain amount of skepticism . Is sufe. to exist, regarding Ahe merits of the new boat. But the public will not have very long to wait. It i hoped that within six weeks the Queen will be running on the regular service. Those-who are best acquainted with the turbine principle are most confident ef he success. - There is no doubt that steamers fitted with .engines working on Parsons' principle can develop a speed far beyond that jgf the ordi nary screw. This lias been proved In the case of the torpedo-destroyers, and there Is no reason why this high speed cannot be equally utilized on ail cross-cnannei routes. Many predictions have it that turbine en gines are, sooner or later, to optn out a new era in ocean traveling. If ever the principle be adopted on the big Atlantic liners the transatlantic voyage will be considerably shortened. ised too I tlreiff I its aW I 80LD A NEGRO TO SERVITUDE. MOBILE, Ala., May 24. The grand jury of the United States Court at Montgomery has found an indictment against Robert N Franklin, a white citizen of Good water. Ala., charging him with having sold one Joe Pat terson, a negro, to J. W. Pace, a land owner of Tallapoosa County, In a condition of peon age or involuntary service. The negro borrowed $1 .from Franklin, promising to pay it back the next day. He failed' to do so. He was arrested, convicted and fined for obtaining money under false pretences before a Magistrate. He was sold for $25 to a Mr. Hardy, who worked him tor a year. Then he was sold for $40 to Mr. Pace, who has been working him since for a year,r.This Is only one oiL many such .cases. Secret service men are working up the cases. It is said that many more negroes are still in bondage in three of four counties of this state. The magistrates fine negroes, have tomf one pay their fine, and work them all the time, having a guard over them all day and lock them up at night. They are sometimes brutally whipped.

Chaplain Edward Vattman, United States army, recently returned to Washington from the Philippines and relates with considerable humor his-experience -with an elderly Irish woman whose son is numbered among the missing. The young man, Patrick by name, a private by rank and a Washingtonlan, was captured some time ago by ladrones and when last seen was being taken into the mountains strapped' to a fierce looking Fili pino. Father Vattman learned the particu lars and when he returned to Washington, called upon the bereaved motheit to break the news. Her intuition assisted him, for she said immediately: "You've come to tell me of Patrick, father." ' "Yes," said the priest, "and my good woman, you must remember -that 'Whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth:' 'In the midst of life we are in death, but the Lord comforts the afflicted'" "Yes, yes, father," interrupted Patrick's mother; "but tell me the news, father, dear." "Weil, my poor woman," said the priest, sorrowfully, "the last we heard, of poor Pat rick, he was strapped to a Filipino and be ing taken into the mountains." "My! my!" exclaimed the sorrowful mother; "God have, mercy. .upon... .the poor. FiUyplny that's sthrapped to my Pathrick!" ANDREWS RETRACT8. LINCOLN, Neb. May-24. Chancellor E, Benjnmln Andrews of the University of Ne braska, whose retirement from Brown Uni- verslty on account of his leaning, toward free silver at the ratio of 16-to 1 attracted at tention throughout the country In 1896, de livered an address tanta class on practical" ethics which indicates . that he has changed his views. "I confess the error I held for a number of years regarding the production of gold," he said. "The output , of gold ' has increased enormously since 1890. By 1897 It had com pletely checked the fall which prices had been updergoing since J87JS, and since 1897 has caused a considerable rise In prices. From the advice of the greatest geologists, both In this country and In Europe, and from the opinion of practical miners of Colorado whom I saw when I visited Colorado In 189 believe tho greatest output of gold "was passed. I have to admit that it was an as tounding mistake, and that I was in great and inexcusable error. I now believe that the heavy output of gold will continue."- New York Sun. 9 I . 8. n POET FRENEAU AND THE WORLD'S A FAIR. v But even more interesting than his orig inality as a forerunner of romanticism is the remarkable foretaste In his work of. striking and distinctive qualities of later American literature.
