AN OLD PROVERB OUT OF JOINT
t ' ,
From times immemorial the idea
has been cultivated that old men for
consul and young men for war is the
proper arrangement for human
activity. Whatever may have been
past experience, the recent war with
Spain leaves the venerable maxium
in a tops3r turvy condition. . Men on
the far side of the prime of life have
directed the battles as well as formed
the plans, and with remarkable suc
cess. Perhaps some, like Shafter at
Santiago, were a little impetuous,
but that merely strengthens the case
against the proverb. Most of the
leaders are nearing the age of retire
ment. Dewe3' is 61, and entered the
naval academy fotty-four years ago.
It is something of a commentary on
fame that bis name is particularly
hard to find in the biographical
works. Six months ago the the com
piler had not made his acquaintance.
He is not in the Century "Dictioimry
of Names," published in 1894. Dewey
proved equally good for war and
consul, in fact incomparably better
than any j'oung man could have
been. He is a vetern of the civil
war, and in that grim school learned
all about running batteries, disre
garding mines and opening fire be
fore breakfast. Dewey at 61 is
3Tonng enough to carry through any
task that could be set for the United
States navy, belligerent or diplomatic.
There is Gen. Joseph Wheeler, who
on the 10th of next month will reach
the age of 62. His presence at the
front at the battles around Santiago
was an important circumstance. He
was sick but refused to go to the
rear. A younger man might not
have been ill, but his advice would
not have had the same value, and if
sick he would not have known how
to husband his impaired strength.
Shafter also was indisposed, but
managed to pull through. . Lawton
and Merritt are veterans. Gen.
Miles, commanding the army, who
is past 50, frisked around Santiago
in a gum coat, where he was in the
heaviest showers he ever saw. Later
he u perintended the campaign in
Porto Rico, which, though called a
picnic, nevertheless, involved the
landing of an army on foreign soil
and capturing a populous island.
Sampson, is 58 and Schley nearly 59.
Fitzhugh Lee, the senior of this list,
will be 63 in November. He has
jocularlj' remarked to the war depart
ment that be has "ceased firing" as a
reminder that he would prefer not to
snuff the battle from afar.
On the Spanish side Admiral Cer
vera, a gray-haired yeteran, is de
cidedly the hero. In dutiful
obedience to orders which he knew
were fatal he led his fleet into battle,
and lost it after doing all that a brave
man eould under the plans prepared
for him. He went through the tem
pest, of shot and shell and narrowly
escaped drowning. He showed
heroic stuff by his manty treatment
of Hobson. But Hobson i& a young
man, it is interposed. So he is, and
as gallant a one as ever lived. But
his feat, planned by older heads, was
not effective. The channel was not
closed as designed. The noble self
sacrifice of the deed is what entitles
it to universal honor. Old men, at
least men near the sixty mark, are
the safe warriors if any lesson touch
ing this point is to be extracted from
the conflict of 1898. But, of course,
the tremendous experience of the
civil war is an element in the case.
And on that word "experience" the
subject may be submitted.
In one of the outlying towns of
Eastern Cuba the Spanish garrison
the other day was fonnd to be cele
brating the victory of the Spanish
-fleet over Dewey at Manila. It
seems hard that such, an idyllic state
of existence must be interrupted.
Republican Missouri this year will
fall into line with Republican Mary
land, West Virgmia and Kentucky.
These sister states are a little ahead
because their Republicans have
avoided factionalism. Missouri Re
publicans will have no more of it.
.Notice to Delinquent Taxpayers.
The tielinqent taxes of Wasco county,
as shown on th6 rolls now in the hands
of the sheriff are $60,000, an amount al
most equal to the indebtedness of the
county. Every citizen will donbtless
admit that this state of affairs should
not exist, and that all taxes should be
collected. On account of hard times
in the past the county court' Las shown
leniency to taxpayers, but that leniency
has reached the limit, and the court
cannot wait longer on delinquents to
make settlements. For this reason a
warrant has been attached to each ' de
linquent roll commanding the sheriff to
collect all taxes by seizure and sale of
property. With a bountiful crop now
in sight, there can no longer be any rea
sonable excuse for the non-payment of
taxes. The sheriff is bound by oath to
comply with the terms of the warrants
attached to the tax rolls for the collec
tion thereof, and has no option in the
matter. Delinquent taxpayers can save
the cost of seizure and sale of property
by settling their taxes at once.
Robert Keli-y,
Sheriff and Tax Collector for Wasco
County.

Fereons troubled with diarboea will
be interested in the experience of W. M.
Bush, clerk of the hotel Dorrance, Prov
iJenc, R. I. He says : "For eeveral
years I have been almost a constant suf
ferer from diarrhoea, the frequent at
tacks completely prostrating me and
rendering me unfit for my duty at this
hotel. About two years ago a traveling
salesman kindly gave me a small bottle
of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarhoea Remedy. Much to my sur
prise aDd delight its effects were imme
diate Whenever I felt symptoms of the
disease I would fortify myself against
the attack with a few doses of this val
ueabla remedy. The result lias been
very satisfactory and almost Complete
relief from the affliction." For sale by
Blakeley & Honehton.
" About one month ago my child, which
id fifteen months old, bad an attack of
diarrhoea accompanied by vomiting. 1
gave it such remedies as are usually
given in such cases, but as nothing gave
relief, we sent for a physician and it was
under his care for a week. At this time
the child had been sick for about tea
days arid was having about twenty-five
operations of the bowels every twelve
hours, "and we were convinced that un
less it soon obtained relief it would not
live. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Rernidy was recommended,
and I decided. to try it. I soon noticed a
change for the better; by its continued
use a complete cure was brought about
and it is now perfectly healthy. C. L.
