Tako the -libertine to your breast and for give him, but lock the door against his paramour and send her to lower depths. Hazel Beaumont, whoso real name Is withheld out of mercy for her aged mother In Portland, was sentenced to pay a fine for vagrancy and gross immorality, In Scattlo yes tortlay. She was raised In Portland and was a favorite In the highest social circles four years ago. She was bright, vivacious, Intelligent educated, refined and had friends by mo score, auo vas without a peer as an ontortalner at tho little social functions of tho best circles. Final ly a "nice" man won her confltlouco and betrayed her. From her highest position she fell to the lowest. The wretch who was the cause of her downfall nover suffered a single loss of prestige, but she went out of her little circle disgraced and besmirch ed, never to return. He went about his business unashamed, she went to tho gutter and to vagrancy. He now has a respectable family and a "good" namo, she Is an outcast. His mock charity and benevolence Is tho tall: of the town. Her namo Is a hiss and a byword. Isn't It time to stop this unjust practice? Isn't It time to make tho outcast In malo attire wear his brand of Cain, as well as the trusting girl ho started downward? POLITICS VERSUS BUSINESS. Tax-payers and voters of TJmatil la county will bo Interested In know ing that two republican members o the county court, Horace Walker and T. P. -Qllllland, yesterday ten dered the Jlornlng Tribune $400 In full payment of a $G16 printing bill thus admitting that the contract made with the Trlutine by those same members of the court was about 35 per cent graft on the tax payers. Judge Hartman, a member of tho county court, objected to the con tract at the time the two commis sioners gave u to tne Tribune, over the exceptionally low hid of the East Oregonlan, and he has today filed bill of exceptions to the action of the commissioners, and offers the Trib tine but ?300 In full payment for Its 9G16 bill. How the commissioners are to Jus "tlfy their action before tho people Temalns one of the problems of tho campaign. The Tribune bid $2.60 per Inch for printing the delinquent tax list, and the East Oregonlan bid CO cents per inch. Judge Hartman favored giving the contract to the lowest bidder, but the two commis sioners decided against him and gave It to the Tribune. The result Is a graft of $400 on the taxpayers in this little Item alone. Two hundred inches of delinquent tax list would have cost the taxpay ers but $120, If published in the East Oregonlan at 60 cents per Inch; In the Tribune, the same amount is costing tho county $520, at $2.60 per inch, besido tho Increase In the cost by the padding of the type by the Tribune, to make one-fifth more matter than there was in the tax list. Aside from the graft attempted on the people, tho additional cost and trouble of a suit against the county to collect tho full price, Is threaten ed by the Tribune. The East Oregonlan Is not posing as a martyr nor a. moralist. It pre sents these facts to tho people as part of tho business record of Uma tilla county. The business of tho county should bo conducted on tho same lines of honesty that mark any private business. This paper mado a fair and square bid for bus inoss, at a price that would mean a fair return for tho service, from the county. It promised nothing, threatened nothing, made no demands, used no nndiio Influence, proffered no divis ion of spoils, truckled to no party nor part of a party, but went after business with a fair, business bid, which entitled It to tho county print ing. It expected tho county commis sioners to oxorclso common business honesty and Judgment at least, In spite of politics, but was deceived. Instead of giving tho contract to an Indopendont paper at tho cost of $120 per year to tho taxpayers, tho commissioners rowarded tho parti- The voters of Umatilla county are Invited to picture to themselves, tho vast Idle tracts of arid land lying In tho northern and western portions of the county nt this time. It Is Impos sible for Individuals to Irrigate these large tracts, and the government will decline to take up tho work until Oregon has passed some Intelligent legislation. On tho coming legisla ture and Its, practical common sense, depends the future of this county. The state has appointed an Irrigation commission to frame a law. It Is doing extraordinary work. The next step must be to elect practical men, enthusiastic irrigators, pronounced agitators for irrigation development, to pass upon and urge that law In I the legislature. This land must all be reclaimed and made habitable. It cannot be under tho present status of the irrigation law. Voters can hurry along the settlement and re clamation of that land, or they can retard It, Just as they will. Irriga tion must bo the campaign Issue in Eastern Oregon, until this waste Is brought Into fertility. DRIFTWOOD. It is Impossible to say to what ox tent American arts and education are figuring In the Jnpaneso victories In the Orient. Her best progress Ja pan has modeled after this country. Her best education she has obtained here. Her highest arts she has plucked from Amerlcnn soil. Her scholarship and generalship bear the American stamp. Her warships, ar mament, gunners, tactics, all bear the brand of tho Yankee. To the other American tactics which havo been winners for tho Japs, that na tion will now add the lleet-footed broncho of the Northwest states, which, In the Japanese cavalry, will prove to ho the same winning forco that the American gunner has been on the Japanese warship. THE HIGHER PRICE OF BEEF. Tho pretext on which tho whole sale meat dealers add a quarter of a cent a pound to the price of beef Is the familiar one that the stock on hand Is insufficient to meet tho In creased demand. Yet tho complaint from the ranges Is that tho price of cattle has been steadily falling for two years. Hoof cattle now bring $5.50 a hundred pounds, as against $G.50 In 1901. Ac cording to Secrotary Martin, of the National Association, stockmen havo lost $750,000,000 within less than two years through this shrinkage of values. Tho loss has been duo not to tho operation of the law of supply and demand, but In splto of It, nnd directly to tho action of tho packers' combination In artificially depressing the prlco of livestock whllo forcing up that of dressed boef. Having taken their ton irom me caiuumuu thoy are now again taking It from tho householder. What nro anti-trust and anti-mon- opoly bills for if thoy cannot prevent this kind of robbery?

Tho Now York Times relates the following experience of ono ot the princes of tho church In that stnto. Bishop Potter was preaching ono Sunday evening In a smnll town In tho Adlrondacks, whore ho had a summer camp. When tho services were over a tall, 'gaunt man, with tho nlr of n backwoodsman, come up to the bishop with outstretched "hand. "I'vo herd ye preach twlco nforo this," ho sold, "an' I llko yor preach- In'. I alltiB learn somethln' new from ye. I rid ten miles tonight to hpar yo, on' I'd rid ten more, for as usual, I hoord somethln' tonight that never knowed nforo." "Well, I nm glad of that," said the bishop, shak ing tho outstretched hand; "nnd what was It you learned tonight?" "Why. bishop. I found out for tho first time In my life that Sodom and Gomorrnh wuzn't twins." Marshnl Oyama, chief of tho Jap nneso general staff, was, during his service as Judge advocate at Toklo, at a ball ono night. He was standing near a doorway at this ball, when n beautiful European woman swept by, and so greatly dlu her charm 1m press Judgo Oyama, that ho oxclnlm ed Involuntarily: "What a lovely wo man." She overheard him. With n little smile sho looked back over her whlto Bhoulder and, recognizing him, sho said; "What an excellent Judge. n When Esther Cleveland was a lit- tlo girl, her father onco telephoned to the Whlto House from Chicago and asked Mrs. Cleveland to bring tho child to the 'phone. Lifting the little one up to tho instrument, Mrs. Cleveland watched her expression change from bewilderment to won der, and then to fear. It was sure ly her father's voice, yet Esther look ed at the telephone Incredulously. fter examining the tiny opening lu the receiver, tho little girl suddenly burst Into tears. "Oh, mamma," sho sobbed, "how can wo ever get papa out of that little hole?" Imaginings. Through tho sum and sweep of tho countless year, Humbly at many a countless shrine, Men and women have wopt their tears. Or quaffed to the lees communion wine. But nover a gleam of glory fell In splendor athwart tho altar stono And nover a sound, but tho passing bell, Smiting tho nlr with Its awful tone. Thoy havo stormed the stars with their passion cry, For hope, or mercy, or Justice here, Plead that their dear ones would not die- Plead with many a sol) and tear. Folly! for nover nn answer came, And never an arrow was turned away; It sped to its work tho same, Whether thoy prayed or scorned to pray. From cradlo to coffin we struggle and seek, Till the fugitive years ot our lives are passed, And whether our lot be blessed or bleak, We aro tossed, llko dogs, to tho worms at last. What Is the use of It all, I say, Why aro wo brought from tho dark unknown, To laugh and weop through a llttlo day. That drifts us under a burial stono. Tutnllla, April 21.
