The city has failed to regulate the social ovll ami so thoy are roKiilatliiK the social ovll uml the city nlso. Thoy should have the. support of the community. While their plan may be wrong, their mo tives aro right. Instead of scatter ing the ovll to the resldonco dis tricts, the city should set aside an Inclosed area, large enough to ac commodate all the immoral classes, and should drive them into this In closure and keep them there under police guard, whore the public can avoid them. i The school children of Cleveland may now be treated to cheap car fares since Mr. Ilanna, the strongest opponent of cheap fares Is no more. The street car trust of that city Is capitalized at $23,000,000, and pays 9 per cent net. O, ye who are sae gutd your sel, Sae pious and sae holy.

"Profit" Dowle has found mankind much the same the world over. The people of Sydney, Australia, chased him out of town for blasphemy. Even the sinner Is disgusted at the coarse and foul arrogance of this religious buzzard. The national woman's suffrage convention has heaped coals of fire on the head of Oregon. Within a week after the woman suffragists oj this state failed to secure enough signatures to get the suffrage amendment on the official ballot, the national convention of woman', sut fiaglsts voted to bring their next convention to Portland and heartily indorsed the Lewis and Clark fair. TLIf Is the most graceful and touch ing stroke ever made by any body of workers. Oregon has kept suf frage away from her mothers and has turned a deaf car to their np peals times and times again. In re turn for this treatment, the largo souied agitators in this cause bring their convention to this stato, ad vertise the city of Portland by mak ing It their next convention city, and cheerfully Indorse Oregon's dearest Interest, the Iwis and Clark fair, Experts who havo studied the war situation In the Orient, says the tac tics of tin" Japanese could not he improved upon. Their plans to land troops and march on unprotected Vladivostok from tho rear, cut oft communication by blowing up tho railroads and bottle up Dalny and Port Arthur, are brilliant and toll ing. Their every movement counts. They don't waste a shot nor a pound of steam In useless maneuvers, Port Arthur Is now at their mercy, Vlad ivostok harbor Is ice-bound and the Japanese land forces are marching Inland to head off Russian relief by land. With this stroke accomplish ed, with tho Russian troops perish ing in the frozen steppes around Lake Ualka, with Port Arthur and Dalny left to the mercy or the Jnp aneso fleets, It seems the end of tho war is near and that Russia Is los ing ground every day. The Japan ese havo conducted their campaign with a spirited dash that has been the admiration and wonder of tho world. Each staggering blow has been followed in such Quick succes sion by another, that Russia has had no time for recovery between fights. The Japanese should win. Their cause Is just. Had Russia kept her avaricious hands off the Japanese trophies of tho Japan-Chinese war, this war would havo been unneces sary. The world Is with the chrysanthemum. FORESEES CHICAGO'S DOOM. Prof. William R. Davis of tho geological department of Hnrvnrd has been studying tho geology of the great lake region, especially about Niagara Falls and has reached the conclusion thnt if the! present tendencies continue the tlmo will come when most of Chlcigo will ho suhmerged. UnlesB, he mlilR ns a proviso, tho people of Chicago con tinue rapidly enough to raise tho city above tho l.nko Michigan level, Ho began a lecture In tho (Har vard) university musouiu with a de scription of the gorge hewed out by the Nlngara cataract, and then gavo an account of the early character of the groat lakes region, of successive ndvnncos and retreats of tho l.iuit ontlne Ico sheets, and of the grad ual evolution of tho great lakes In their present form and with the present system of drainage. Origi nally the lakes drained Into tho .Mis sissippi through what is now the Illinois river, but with tho gradual progress of physiographic cluing & the northern outlet beenmo lower than that at Chicago and tho water llowed out Orst through ono chnnnel and then through nuothor, finally nnding Its way over tho retreating escarpment between Erie and On tario, through which It has cut the Niagara gorge. Estimating that the cataract has taken about 10,000 years to ut back to Its present location, al though this estimate Is uncertain owing to tho varying volume of the river with certain changes In tho drainage system, we might conclude that within a relatively short time the falls will mnko their way to Uike Erie, when thnt body of water will be drained out and the falls will disappear. .About this, how ever, there are serious doubts. Ob servations within the last 00 years have shown thnt the country north of the great Inkes Is slowly rising. Ileforo Niagara has cut hack lo Lake Erlo this rise may have pro gressed so that the St. Lawrence outlet will again become hlghejr than at Chicago. Then the Immense vol ume of water now pouring over Ni agara Palls. will he turned back up on Chicago, and, tho speaker added, St. Louis may then get some conso lation for the unexpected nscend nncy of the Illinois metropolis.

The Sunday Examiner strikes a fierce blow at the nasty, clinging cobwebs of aristocracy which ham per otherwise bright and useful minds In this country. In every community are found little groups of antiquated beings who believe yet in the exploded and ridiculous fal lacy that "high birth" amounts to something regardless of the brains or ability that accompany it: they look on wealth as a special pass port to social distinction and frown in a way that makes the gods smllo in pity on their Ignorance, at the poor man who achieves something and builds up a name and a char acter despite humble beginnings. Here Is a sermon In a dozen lines, from tho Sunday Examiner, on tho emptiness of the claims of arlstoc racy: "In this country tho only kind of a gentleman that Is worth the name Is a man that thinks gen tle thoughts, does gentle things. Is kindly, honest, clean-minded and clean spoken and does his wholo duty as he sees It, Whether ho is rich or poor, obscure or famous, this Is the only kind of a gentleman that can be recognized In a republic. AUo In a republic tho only man that is worth honoring Is tho man that does something useful. The greater tho use he is to his times and his fol lownien tho more deserving In lion or. It doesn't make any difference, therefore, what your ancestors wero; tho only important thing Is what you are and what you do. No man can desplso another man whon ho thinks of his own failures, weak' nesses, shortcomings and follies." "Oh, rats," says .Mayor Boyd, of Spokane, to tho threat of tho Min isterial Association to oust him from office for refusing and falling to obey tho law in suppressing tho Im moral haunts of that city. That Is tho mayor's only argument, perhaps. Tho law Is plain. Ho has no othor answer Tho ministers havo chased him up tho highest treo and tho mayor in wondorlng what he shall This Ishuo of tho East Orcgonian may be called n Christian Endeavor Edition, as It contains very mucli concerning tho convention, which opens In tills city tomorrow ovon Ing. Hut nowspapor space was nover devoted to a bettor cause and tho only wish of this paper Is that Its readers take advantago of tho convention to hear tho eloquent speakers and listen to tho programs, Intended lo help humanity, EXTRA EDITION SHOT TO PIECES Here in Pendleton At the Corner of Main and Webb Streets Not an officer to bo found who would interfere. Will the citizens of Pendleton stand idly by and see this go on without taking a hand in it? Surely not. What does this all mean anyhow' Well, here is how the trouble began. This may seem to Bome as cruel and uncalled for, and while there is much we dare not reveal, yet we have this to say: Tho cause of thisterriblo slaughter is plain. In the first place ourBtore is to be remodeled and we are overstocked; tho front of our store will soon bo "shot to pieces" by the carpenters who will need more room for their work, so we must reduce stock.
