Will Maupin. The Atbena Prose pertinently re marks that the nest great strike will not be for an increase la wages, but j to prevent a reduction of wages. The limit has been reached and tho employes- will now have to strike, in or der to keep the great Industrie mov ing, i Hitchcock need not be ashamed of; the appointment of Deris, to be reg-j ister of the La Grand land oface. i and try to lay it on the president. Davis is a good man and wiu be an honor to the oSce and to the man who is responsible for his appoint ment. Russia is determined to prevent popster education among the masses. A Polish priest who had in charge six young girls bound for America, where the children w.?re to be placed in school, has been arrested on the frontier of Poland, and held on charge of. kidnaping. The object of the Rus sian government Is to enforce the doctrine "once a Russian, always a Russian." There is cause for Pendleton to 1 happy and in the mood to celebrate Labor Day. Four excellent brick buildings, and about 20 handsome dwellings have been completed this season, and foundations for one of the finest lodging houses in Eastern Oregon are now being laid. If pros perity and abundance of work are causes for celebration, Pendleton has a yell coming. Justice is swift in Oregon. A negro who sandbagged a Portland merchant this week, was located, arrested, tried, convicted, sentenced and lodged in the penitentiary for six years, in less than -IS hours after committing the crime. This is a serious check o 1 the hold-up business in Portland. A lit tle more of this swift brand or Jus tice will stop robberies, on Front street, in daylight at least. The Clark silver cup. offered for the best, fruit exhibit at the Ogden lrri- i gatlon Congress, belongs by right of merit, to Umatilla county. Will it be brought home, or will Utah cap-i ture It? The effort required to get it Is so Insignificant, that It should not be a barrier. Where are those en thusiastic Milton irrlgatlonlsts who are so proud or the fruit records of their locality? Here is an opportuni ty to score a point against all the West. Send for that cup. Harvest being over und the seaem'-i hauling practically done, the periodi cal Good Roads agitation 1b again af flicting the Oregon farmer. It the government would build some good roads in some of the Western Mates, as a nucleus for a general good road movement, it would be much more ap propriate, than to pay out so much money for agents, whose only service consists in traveling over the countT using space in me pin: -no practical work. If the government will put some of these "experts" to work, on selections of bad roads, for the purpose of demonstrating their Antmn will nrfimlfi to fur nlsh the road for the experiment. One mile of good road on the ground, is worth a hundred miles on paper. The socialists of Anaconda, Mon tana, carried the city election last spring, and took the offices occupied formerly hr their employers. There were contests over some of the offices and the employes or tho smelters tsero arrayed apalnst their employers and won the cases against them, and are now running the eiiy government. Thcre have been some radical changes in the mode of conducting municipal affairs, and the smelter and mining men are dissatisfied wltt the rule of the worklngmen, and now in order to bring about a change, have declared that active socialists will not be employed in the works, hoping by this means to drive them out'of the city. The country has reached a great crisis in industrial progress, if a man must pass a satis factory political examination before he can get a job. No wonder socialism is arrowing. The way to make it suc cessful. Is to employ just Euch meth ods, wherever a socialist ts found in office. There is a growing sentiment in 'he West in favor of the repeal of all the land laws, except the straight home stead law. The abuse of the timber and stone act. and the vast tracts ac quired by corporations, under the va rious tews that have aided in dimin ishing the public domain, have forc ed the people to demand protection for the remaining area of public land. The actual homesteader has dmWI of the remaiains land, and it ?oems that title should be confined to the one law, in order to insure a settler for every future filing. It Is quite important that the coming ir rigation congress take action on this subject, and petition the national congress to repeal the timber and stone, and the desert land acts. The speculative period has almost strip ped the country of good land, and now the remnant of the once magnifi cent domain should be reserved tor actual settlement. It Is as necessary to save the desert to the people -K it is to save the forests and streams for them. Since Oregon passed the law ac cepting the provisions of the Carey Act, there have been five reclamation contracts entered into, aggregating 267.CM acres of arid land. Appli cations have !een made for -17,01)0 acres, in addition to these contracts, and several surveys are now pending " " - - - " 1 for further applications. The largest J I contracts mado are with tne Pilot Butte Development Company, in Crook county, for 87,707 acres, the Oregon Development Company. In Crook and Klamath counties for .!. ""91 acres, and the Harney Va'Icy Im provement Company, for 0S.K34 acres The average cost of rec'iamafon iu these three contracts iu J9.30 er t acre, and the average cost o. main talning the works after construi sen, ' is 73 cents per acre. Thus it is seen 1 that this Idle land which Is now prac-1 tically worthless, can be reclaimed j at a cost of less than $10 per acre, and as ioon is it is reclaimed. It 1k coroes worth from JS0 to $100 per acre, capable of supitorting a ramlly on each 10 acres. There is no greater question now before the West, than this transformation of the desert .nto gardens and orchaids. The organization or the Independ ent Packing Company, at Kansas City on September 1, is hailed as the fore runner of the final destruction of the Beet Trust. The Independent com pany is composed of bona fide stock men, who are now In the clutches pt the trust, and who will begin the con struction of a line of packing houses to reach from Chicago to San Fran cisco, to comjiete with the meat trust, for the livestock and meat trade of the West The new company Is to be dominated br actual ztotkinen, to prevent the trust from obtaining con trol, through tho purchase or stock, and all the stock shipments from the West are to be bandied by the mem bers of tho new organization, who are to reap a double profit from their stock one from the range article and one from the finished, or manufac tured article in the packing bouses. This is the only logical manner in which to oppose the trusL If the Western stockman will back the new concern and make it a success, it will be the salvation or the livestock in dustry of the country, for it has now reached the point where it is impos sible for the grower to receive a rea sonable return on his Investment, on account of the nrbltrary dealings of tne trust, which controls both ends of the road tho live animal and the meat on the block.

It is a weird thing that the chief magistrate of the most nearly free country that ever existed must be guarded with extreme care from as sassins. But It Is a necessity we can't escape from, nnd the explana tion Is simply that the greater tne civilization, ' the more elaborate the freedom, tho more general the educa tion, the most numerous will be what we call "cranks." The crank Is a man irrespons.-ie by having some one element, or part of an element of greatness. Geniuses are cranks of exalted force. The very greatest men In history were cranks. But. If the combination isnt right: that is. If a man has no logic but burning resolve, or he Is possessed by the unrest of genius without knowing what he wants, tben he may be a dan gerous crank, whose uselessly seeth ing thoughts produce insanity. In the olden time such unfortunates were trodden down now we go to enormous pains to preserve and pro tect them. And so the life of the president of the United States has to be carefully guarded and we are spared another martyr to civilization. Denver Post.
