OX WITH THK HI NT. 8TW.Ii FIGHTING THK I'KOPl.K. T HE Pendleton Tribune Is one of the few Republican papers of the state that are following the Oregonlan in its systematic at tempts to bulld-o.se or otherwise In duce Statement No. 1 Republican members of the legislature to break their pledge to the people and refuse to vole for Governor Chamberlain for senator. Any flinisey excuse will do for these organs to hang an argu ment on, and though they know it Is utterly disingenuous, they Bet: in to think it may serve the purpose In view, which Is to defeat the ex pressed will of the people and throw senatorial elections back into the (Id methods. The pitifully small and palpably Insincere excuse jf the Pendleton pa per is that Chamberlain sent a tele gram of congratulation to Hryan, from which it argues that lie is a Democrat, and having; gratuitously assumed that he represented himself during the campaign as a non-partisan, it says the Statement No. 1 members have been deceived and are therefore released from their nhlica tiiwi. We do not remember of" ever read ing or hearing a more contemptibly purile and deceptive idea in a bad cause. In the first place, it assumes untruths. Chamberlain ran as n Democrat, and made no disguise of that fact, nor was a single voter in the state of Oregon deceived in the least in regard to his political atti tude or representations. He said he was in favor of the Roosevelt pol icies, and would support them, and would support any president, Re publican or Democrat, who stood for those policies. Tie did not and need not put aside his Democracy to do this, for those policies are mainly those of the Democratic parly. Hut this Is immaterial; the Important thing is that they are the policies that the people approve. in the second place, it makes no difference what Chamberlain's pol ities are, since the people, knowing all about him. un derstanding him fully, pave him a plurality of their votes and chose him for senator. if the people prefer Chamberlain to Cake. or Fulton, or (leer or Scott, or any body else, the people have a right to have him for their senator, and their choice is no business of any of the old political riiigsiers, who are still determined if it bo possible, to defeat the people's will. It is only they who object to Chamberlain's politics. The rank and file of the Republican party, about LMi.Oim) of whom voted for him, are making no complaint, nor will do so. These organs sei m determined ut terly to disrupt the Kepubli'-an party, in this state, sure enough. If they succeed in their attempts to override the people's will and revert to old methods of electing senators, it is safe to predict that Republicans will be scarce in the legislature for years to come. The people are not going to be driven back into the mire from which they have escaped. 0 N WITH the hunt. Jerome Renne, an esteemed citizen, was shot and killed for a deer near Creuwcll Sat unlaw Coo county has had iis victim, nnd tin hunt Is but begun. Other healthy men will move a bush or crush twig in the woods to be promptly perforated-with lead,- as deer. The accident will have mention In the newspapers, but the readers will pay little heed. A certain number of able-bodied people seem fated to he killed this way each deer shooting season, and there is no help for it Each new accident is a warning to hunters, but it does no good. Ad vice is offered, and caution be slowed, but it is effectless. The cor oner sits while the hunter hunts. The undertaker orders more caskets while the careless sportsman sallies forth with an abundant supply of thoughtlessness and a high-power gun. On with the hunt. The armed tyro hears the crash in the brush or sees a brush move, and pulls the trigger. The scream of the victim, if he lives long enough to utter a death shriek is the serine. Kven the careful hunter tuny be the vic tim. He is as much in danger from the fonl vvltli a gun as though h wa re not himself after big game. II can protect himself from his own weapon and save others from it, but high heaven cannot shield him or others from the man who shoots by guess. On with the hunt. It Is deer that the reckless hunter is after, but oc casionally he gets a man. It is dis tressing to the family to have th husband and father shot in the woods for a deer, a wildcat or a (oon. but such, is the price of hunt ing, and the prospective fate of the hunter. If the open season lasted long enouirh It. is easily believable that (hero would be more mortality among: the hunters than among the deer. As the hunt goes on doubt grows as to whether or not the game is worth the candle. The Increas ing list of fatalities must occasional ly suggest to the thinking sportsman that, while the deer shooting season Is on, it is a good time to stay at home, and keep alive.

( llri 1 I en tlm hunt, less uncul- n, I Ills Is H great need of II THERE Is promise that the coun try Is nearing a civic plane where colossal corruption funds are to be eliminated from presidential campaigns. Con gress refused to pass a publicity law, but congress never leads in reforms. That body Is a camp follower in the forward march of national purifica tion. Even men like congressman Hawley, who go there with known .convictions on moral and civic Ideals, fail to break away from ser vility to the oligarchy that is in con trol, and with the rest, becomes a follower rather Than leader tut higlu er civic conditions. It is outside of congress and among the people that the move- ment for eliminated election cor ruption is erystalizing into force ful effectiveness. Mr. ftryan leads, and Mr. Taft joins in the plan. Per- haps, if the Democratic party in. eteatl, of the Republican party had In late campaigns been the benef ic lary of enormous syndicated contri butions, Mr. Taft would lead and Mr. Bryan bo the follower in the movement. But Mr. Bryan and his party have for 12 years been out of tune with the interests of which Standard Oil Is typical. In any event what we have is ab- eolute assurance that the contribu tions to the Democratic campaign will be made public two weeks be fore the election. Mr. Bryan lias promised it. The Denver Convention declared for It. The .Democratic committee has pledged it, and that it will be faithfully and conscien tiously done is certatin. Mr. Taft has advised it. The Re publican national committee has de clared for it, although the Chicngo convention refused to do so. But for the present, unfortunately, the plan of the Republican committee is not to make the con tribut ions pub lic until after the election. This feature la ill advised, and will, if not changed, cost Mr. Taft many votes of independents who are for clean j politics, and believe the purity of the country is more important than the question of what party shall con fSfil. That the Republican commit tee may, by pressure of public senti ment, yet change its plan and give publicity to contributions before election, is possible. It will be in finitely better, for it would be a means of forcing the unwilling con press to crystallize the movement Into an effective law. The country has been shocked by the revelations concerning use of boodle corruption funds In late cam paigns.

May we not appeal to these courageous and independent citizens to again give us their sup port in this campaign, becaiiee the reasons for their breaking the bonds of party are stronger today than ever." He probably had in view such exceedingly 'patriotic" Demo crats as Thomas F. Ryan. J. Pier pont Morgan, Patrick II. McCarren, .lames M. Guffey and others of their sort.

Hut alas, the sickness of the criminal the slckneHS that makes him criminal has been un studied. He has ben caught and caged. when possible. Generally, he has gone unpunished.

Tho theojoglans have touched the out ijrt.i of the question only. They have occasionally assisted In the good work of curing a man sick with crime, and have turned Ills energies Into useful channels. They have worked a kind of mental or spiritual cure on him. Hut no scientific efforts have been put forth that we have ever heard- of, looking to an exhaustive treatise on tho subject. The .criminal usually does not want to be cured of his criminality. Hul Instead of permitting him to go at large to commit more crime, as Is done wita the penitentiary Inmate, when his term Is over, he should be cured of his criminality if possible. Tho vouth of the land wdio are af flicted with criminal tendencies, should be treated for their mental disease bo foro they aro given a chance to go forth and commit murder, burglary, and the other crimes that a certain mental state seems to Induce.

From the Milton Eagle. A gentleman called at the Kagle of fice and stated that he had heard of Milton as a desirable place to locate; that he was a man of family recently from the cast and had come to Oregon with a view to purchasing properly and making a homo. He wished to rent a house for the winter to schmy his chil dren and In the meantime selec a locu- lon here. He spent somo tlmo trying to find a shelter for himself and familyany thing that would keep out the wind and colli but his errorts were in vain, i Many property-owners who hold empty.' unfenceel and unimproved lots for sale, are waiting for strangers to buy and I build and boom the town.

Itepuhllcans are getting an excess of satisfaction out of the trick of tho John H. McLean men by w'hlch Mayor John son of Cleveland was defeated for mem bership in the national committee. They Imagine that therefore Johnson will he lukewarm in t lie Bryan campaign. They don't know Tom L. Johnson yet. His activity in politics is for the promotion of public purposes, not for the gratifi cation of personal ambitions. While his personal 1 rlendship for Brvan Is cordial, i his support of Hryan's candidacy has j not b, i'm from motives of friendship. ! lie has supported Hryan because he roe ognhecs in iiim the most emphatic per hoii.i1 expression nationally of the pop I ular Impulse toward genuine demnc racv. hn ver know s the man Know s. therefore, that even if Hryan himself had stood in t.e way of his election to the national committee, as he cer tainly did not, and even If personal re lations between tie two men were rup tured, as they certainly are not. Johnson would tie as desirous and as energetic Ins ever for the election of Hryan. 1 1 o is fighting for what Hrynn Is mnrch- thein, and they cannot deny that If this 's continued it will soon he everlasting ly too late to remedy the evil. An Im mense Immigration Is now pouring Into (iregon uinl Washington. Walla Walla Is receiving an overplus and cannot ac commodate all. liesliles, many people desire to live in a smaller town, where the cost of living is less. Milton is now very well advertised, and many conio hern, only to bo turned away. It Is a shame. Let some of the idle landed property be sold, if necessary, and with the proceeds erect a lew decent dwell ings. It will enhance iho value of the remaining; lots two-fold, and admit new conwrs who will trario In our stores find patronize other home Industries. Tho short-sighted policy of trying to sell bare lots at a high figure without preparing the way for strangers to come I among us and learn of our advantages Is a serious drawback to the growth of the town. 'Whom will the faintly live who will want to move to town this full to send their children to the public schools nnd to Columbia college? rrooaniy zen people w bo turned away from Milton between now and the beginning- of the school term, unless some means is devised to supply them Willi dwellings. This is a serious condition, and It Is up to the property-owners and business men Interested in tho growth of tho city uevise a remedy.

Much less. then, when the facts are understood, can Johnson be expected, and much less likely may those of bin sup porters who appreciate the disinterested ness of his motives in politics he re garded ns likely, to throw a chill upon the Hryan campaign in Ohio. Johnson's defeat for membership of the national committee from Ohio was accomplished by a trick of the group of men who are Hryan's enemies in polities ns well as Johnson's by a group who are ene mies of what both of thiMu represent in the Homoeratlc party. John K. McLean, whose only public Interests aro in his private privileges. Hernard his Demo-crtillc-niachlne factotum, "Hoss" (.'ox his Republican coadjutor these are the men win), aided by ttie spoils-hunting Jackals that infest political parties, nnd favored by the storms that delayed rail road trains and kept more than half of Johnson's delegation away from Its or ganization meeting, prevented Johnson's election. It was really the best tribute that such persons could pnv him. it was the kind of tribute that Guffey paid to iirvnn. Lverv such personal deloat from such sources is an additional guar antee to the genuine Iiomoerats of the Democratic party, of Tom L. Johnson's good faith. Hut ns to the campaign for president, if Rryan falls to get the electoral vote of Ohio it will lie the fault, not of Tom L. Johnson and his supporters, but of John It. McLean and the Democratic spoils-hunting cang. Among the normal and well noised poopin there Is the tendency to seek the sun. At sunrise, which Is the proper time for mnkinu the test, the we 1 h:il- aneeii will turn toward too sun; those who shrink from It will turn away. Experiments of u tentative nut tiro were carried out In the orisons nf l.'nf Flanders, In Holgium, with a view to deeming- what ertect rigid incarceration and open-air toll hud upon persona of different temperaments to records. It was found that the open-air treatment had the effect of rendering the Incor rigible really hopeless in management,! but that on the contrary, when Incar cerated they performed their allotted innors conscientiously enough. On those who had taken to criminal careers rather by tha suggestion of others than of their own natural tendency, work In the sun bad an excellent effect In im proving their characters. It was found in the correctional establishments for the young at (Jhent that in youths the moral horoscope of any given boy cruil l when in his normal health hu'almest siathematicully cast, according to hl.i disposition to seek the sunshine nr to shun It. The essentially bad were im pervious to sun rays, while the hope ful cases showed distinct signs of ame lioration when exposed to their warmth. Without making a large number of tests,' the truth or falsity of such i theory would bo difficult or impossible lo prove. Vet there Is a grain of prai - Ileal truth which all mnllicis of chil dren muy take for their own. If :i child is of a morbid leniency and hot little interest in tin- out door world, there Is a danger of his growing mine confirmed in this tendency unh ss he is coaxed into the sunshine, and is helped to at preciate the out of deoi s Natural, healthy-mil iled children, ef course, love It, and ne.-t no coaxing: but thef" Is often a nervous, depressed or uueer child in the family who is al lowed to shrink within himself and to hunt corners with a hook rather than (o deceinp himself into a normal hun: i:i being bv exercise in the open air.

It is very probable that a publication like Collb r's Weekly, which often sponks plainly upon social Iniquities, and some times probes more deeply and analyzes more keenly than Its patent medicine exposures alone would Imply It Is prob able, we say. that such a publication must, for counting room reasons, main tain a balance with occasional articles cf a soothing nature. For that It may be, forgiven. Hut its recent article on "Opportunity" Is aristocratically cruel. Its theme is the opportunities which are open everywhere In the country to the poor of our cities; and its sugges tion for restoring the economic bal ance, Is not the square deal, but an ex odug of the poor from the cities to the country. This "would insure. It says, "fte.nerations of clean bodies and sound minds, just as surely as keeping them In the city, coddling them there and putting premiums on the absence rather than the presence of Initiative and self reliance will breed a poor race." Oh, the curse, the awful curse, of the sliver spoon' How few who are born with It are able, even with the best intentions, to realize the most important of so cial truths, the truth that It is not tho incapacity of the poor that makes them poor, nor any inherent Incapacity that makes the incapable among them in capable, but that It Is the burdens of legalized privilege under which they stnirger, and In consequence of which there are silver spoons for others to be born with. The reference In Collier's article to J. Sterling Morton and his big house as a Nebraska pioneer. Is an example of the blindness of the silver spoon variety of social student. It im plies that Mr. Morton's career, culmin ating In a seat in a president's cabi net, was a product of his own log-house Industry, initiative, self-reliance and thrift. Hut the fact is that Mr. Mor ton's political career was nothing to be proud of Living in Nebraska, a state hopelessly Republican, he formed a Iemo,oratic clique which thrived upon federal patronage In Nebraska when there wns federal patronage for Demo crats to give, and upon hopes fr It be tween times And as to hs wealth. It came, not from the toil of his own hands, but from Increase In value of the Nebraska lands he monopolized, due to the initiative nnd self-reliance and Industry of other men. Collier's article would have been quite as intelligent and no less cruel if it had attributed the poverty of southern slaves, not to the sluve laws of our country which robbed the slaves of their earnings, but to the Incapacity and lack of initiative and self-reliance of the persons whom those laws enslaved. It Ik often a sense of loneliness that drives a youngster from the out doors, which Is so blir, to his mother's corner of the house, and mothers find this a hard thinjr to overconi,'. It sometimes takes n long find imtient training to g- t the child interested In nature study so that he l willing to be alone out of doors. Companions of his own age, even if tliey have to be procured at some trouble, will help. So will a falth lul dog. And still another point to be consid ered, is that tho chill's eyes may h affected. If the bright sun hurts lilt eyes ami gives him a headache it Is only natural for him to seek shelter. If his eyes ere not keen enough to discern nuts and bees It is no wonder he Is not Interested In their doings. And if he In color blind, and cannot tell a lady bug from a clover leaf, ho will havo no Joy In the small creatures. So If h mm her doesn't know what cr.n be tbe matter with Willie, win won't stay out of doors and who seems to bo so queer, it would be well to con sult an oculist. If bis eyes are nil right, tho tendency must be corrected bv patient care. loving companionship, and n more direct contact with the things of nature than an imperative order to "go nnd play" which is so often only another way of saying, "keep out of my way." It Is not bocniiso we do not know bet ter nnd have rot been properly trained. Our grandmothers taught us nil tlm correct and right things to do. We once) were, a nation of polished manners. Hut It Is the great desire to do big things, which the American is so anx ious to do at the sacrifice of taking time to be courteous and polite, that makes our women nnd men nod hurried ly, half speak and smile absently. The odd part of It is th.it wo deeply appreciate the gracious manner. "What h charming way that woman has of speaking to even nn acquaint ance." Is the ungrudging praise of those who feel Its radiance. Yet these critics wouldn't bother to do more than duck the head when It comes their time to speak to a passerby. Wt Women as Gnrdcncr.
