Capi- tal is determined that the head oflic ' ials ot the unions shall not dictate jthe terms of employment Id Colora do and the unions are sworn to keep a inviolate the oaths and constitution that oinds them together. It Is sim- ! ply a matter of how far the laws of j the land can be prostituted by the . ; corporations in oppressing the miners It is just a mere question as to what extent the people will , permit the powerful mining com pa . 'nles to override the laws and deprive the people of their commonest rights of cltiaenship. The storm is at the j exploding point now. The governor . , of the state has been burned in ef- j figy by the irate citizens, lndlgna- i tion Is at the boiling pilch and an uncontrollable insurrection against i corporate oppression may be expect- ' ed any day. PAY YOUR POLL TAX. The street poll tax in Pendleton does not disfranchise a solitary man who is interested in supportive the city government. Citiaens of Pendleton are exempted from the county road tax. in order that the street poll tax may be ap plied, in its stead, to the improve ment and maintenance of the streets. If public pride and the boasted American citizenship are not strong enough incentive to men to pay a it street poll tax. before voting at municipal elections, then this pride and citiaenship Is running at a low ebb. j The test case on the collection of the poll tax should carry for the city, and every man eligible should bej compelled to pay this tax. j It falls on all alike. Every man within the age limit pays this tax. Poor and rich alike use the streets and owe this to the city. Men with won-" object to paying this tax. because thy pay a proper ty tax. Do they not enjoy the income from their property, in keeping with its value? Because they are fortu nate enough to own property should they be exempted from street Im provement and street maintenance? their property, in keeping with its value? Because they are fortunate enough to own property should they be exempted from Htreet Improve ment and street maintenance? Poor men object to paying It be cause they have no property and feel that they should not be called upon to maintain streets abutting the property of others. Should they be exempted from the duties of citizen ship because of their poverty? Such a policy would demoralize all government, because very many men would be poor at tax paying time. This tax is not opposed so strongly by poor men as by the more fortu nate. ' The last registration shows 10 workingmen to one business man registered. Out of 20 lawyers, about five registered. The same propor tion of physicians and merchants registered and voted. Out of i00 workingmen, alout 200 registered. What will you do? Let the grass grow in the streets? Will you relieve Pendleton voters from the task of keeping up the city government, while the voter In the country still pays his road tax or works on the road to help maintain county gov ernment? Pay the pol. tax You owe it to your city, your home and your own yibllc spirit to pay it cheerfully As It is unfortunate that the scath ing words which District Attorney T. G Hailey. directed aeainst the two disreputable libertines who were before him yesterday on a charge of seducing and making drunk a I-t-year-old girl from Athena, cannot be pl&cr-d in the hands of every father and mother in Cmatilla county. The deserved roasting which these beasts received and the myclless ar raignment of the lives they lead and the awoclatfnne they maintain, was harsh enough and stinging enough to kindle in their debased natures a desire to do better, if any spart: of the human yet struggles above the animal in their bosoms. Mr. Hailey pictured the poisonous trails left through society by such brutish In stincts and natures as theirs. He pointed out the homes secretly In vaded by them and their lecherous associates, the lives blighted and blackened and the crimes commit ted He recounted the vile institu tions supported by their ilk and crowded Into the very heart of the business districts traps waiting for the lives of young girls. There arc too many of these disgusting cases before the district attorney Pa rents must awaken to the peril that faces their families. Courts must sentence such vlllians as these al most as heavily as they would sen tence murderers, for their crimes are as black as murder Here's the glad band to Idaho to whose glory the government will Im mediately spend J2.600.000 in an Ir rigation project on Snake river. This I Is another step nearer to Oregon. ' Qlnvlv rh rich hnnntv of eovern- ment Irrigation Is swinging round the circle. The Idle land and the Idle water will meet to form a new order of civilization In the West Slowly the new Industrial doctrine will creep over the land and the des erts will melt before Intelligent Ir rigation. BATHTUBS OF GLASS. No longer can the cleanly, hygien ic porcelain bathtub be reckoned the leader In bathtubs, for th.s essential household requisite has now a rival an imiortatlon from Germany This latest development In bathtubs Is of glass, thick plate glass, and moulded in one piece. Of course. "Id the homes of the very wealthy there are bathtubs of much more costly material than plate glass, but thin newest comer Is designed for ordi nary use, the same as the porcelain type. There are not very many glass tubs obtainable as yet, but those that have arrived are attract ing attention, particularly from feminine observers, for the glass looks so bright and clean and fresh. j Brooklyn Eagle Vvar. A tent that Is hitched at the base: A wagon that comes from the night. A stretcher and on It a case; A surgeon, who's holding a light. The Infantry's bearing the brunt. Oh. hark to the wind carried cheer: A mutter of guns at the front. A whimper of sobs at the rear. And It's War: Orderly, hold the light; You can lay him down on the ta ble; so. Easily, gently! Thanks yon may go. And It's War but the part that te not for show. A tent with a table athwart. A table that' laid out for one; A waterproof cover and nought But the limp, mangled work of a gun. A bottle that's stuck by the pole. A guttering dip In its neck; The flickering light of a soul On the wondering eyes of the wreck. And It's War! Orderly, hold his hand: I'm not going tn hurt you. s-o don't be afraid. A richochet; God. what a mess it has made: And it's War! and a very unhealthy trade. The clink of a stopper and class; A sigh as the chloroform drips; A trickle of what? on the grass. And bluer and bluer the lips. The lashes have hidden the stare A rent, and the clothes fall away A touch, and the wound is laid bare A cut. and the face has turned gray. I And It's War! Orderly, take it out. i It's hard for his child and it's, rough on his wife. i There micht have been sooner a chance for his life; But it's War! and. "Orderly clean this knife." Edgar Wallace, j ... , Nearly all photographs of the late ' Thomas B Reed show a smooth shaven face, but he once wore a mustache, and the reason of its sa- rifiee is thus disclosed by a con gressional friend of the. speaker. He went mio the house barber shop one day and went to sleep in the chair, while one of the negroes w-as shav ing him and the barber waxed the i mustache into points. When Reed woke up and looked in the glass, he shouted: "Cut that darned mustache off. You've made me look like a cat-1 fish."

Mr and Mrs. Disraeli were present, and also Bernal Osborne, a person aee more remarkable for cleverness and aggressiveness in the things of statesmanship than for political loy alty or for a sense of his obligations to his associates.

Let tlx bird be sickly, and the plumage droop and grows dull. There is no exception in na ture to the rule that beauty depends on health. , . , Women who see their beauty waning rarely associate the external change with failure of the womanly health. They do not understand the close rela tion of the general physical health to the health of the delicate womanly or ganism, until after being cured of wom anly diseases bv the use of Dr. Pierce' Favorite Prescription they find the color returning to the cheek and the flesh to the body. .
