SOLIDARITY.
ml... n
m.uv uiiuuk oi too urogoninn on Dr.
Edgar P. Hill of Portland, for his se
voro arraignment of tho morals of
Portland, Is partly Justified by local
pride. While Portland may bo ox
tronioly immoral, and extremely cor
rupt, yot thore are millions of dollars
invested there by people who are not
responsible for this Immorality and
corruption, and to condemn tho city
publicly, In such bitter terms, will in
jure business and injure' Innocent
people, and cannot reduce tho ovlls
condemned. To advertise l'ortlnud as
tho rottenest city In tho country Is to
divert legitimate business away from
the city and away from Oregon; It is
to bring Into unfavorable prominence
tho entire city, when only n small por
tion of the population ' Is responsi
ble and culpable; It will throw a dam
aging cloud of suspicion over tho me
tropolis of tho state, which will not
, , miiiice cican nomoseoKcrs to come
' here, and It seems that while Dr.
Hill's bitter arraignment mnj: bo need-
i ed and was Justified largely by condi
tions, yet It has not helped his cause,
and it has hurt Portland, which he, as
i a resident of Portland. slmnM nnt wloh
to do. An Ideal of tho mind will not
nlways do duty In the harness.
I marvel often that men arc so slow
To honor heartllv. In act and speech
Tho truth with which creation Is
aglow,
The good of all Is In the good of
each,
How shall they doubt It who them
solves are 'made
Of many members woven Into ono
Nor know an aching finger unafraid.
Hut by a single nervo are all mi-
done?
How Bhall they doubt It who have
kenned the stars?
Or caught tho messages of lenves
and grass?
Since never discord yonder music
mars,
And every atom nnswors to tho
mass.
How shall thoy doubt It who havo
sipped of love?
Or tasted of tho Joy of doing good?
Tho wlno of service from the feast
above,
The finest portion of the angels
food.
Within, without, above us or below,
The word is everywhere from self
to sun.
Only the loving may Its meaning
know.
Hut who so blind he feels not wo
are one?

STRAIN DID HIS DUTY.
Tho avorage cost of assessing Uma
tilla county for seven years from 1895
to 1902. was ?5,0C3.75 per year, whllo
the cost of assessing the county In
1303, by C. P. Strain, was but $4,142,
or $021.7f less than tho average.
Docs this look like W. P. Temple's
attack upon Mr. Strain could be sup
ported by facts? Does this Justify
the untrue assertion that the assess
ment under Strain cost more than
formerly?
The trouble with Mr. Templo Is
that he has perhaps escaped a largo
share of tho Just burden of taxation
in former assessments and when call
ed upon to pay on something near
the worth of his land, he files at the
assessor who is trying to do his duty.
Had. Mr. Temple not been one of tho
ery, very few republicans who havo
kicked on Mr. Strain's assessment for
political capital, his weak attempt to
Injure Strain would have hud more
weight with considerate voters.
Strain was elected on tho promise
that fie would raise railroad assess
ments and equalize other property
values and he has done so, as far as
is. possible, in one assessment. Uma
tilla Ur a large county with varied In
terests and It Is impossible for any
ono official to adjust and perfect the
details of u JS.000,000 property valu
ation In ono short year, after many
years of heedlessness, or Incompe
tency had disorganized and demoraliz
ed tho assessment of the county.
Even though Mr. Strain's assess
ment may lack many minor features
that will be adjusted and perfected,
later, It was such nn Improvement
over former assessments, in which
these loudest kickers escaped taxa
tion, that the taxpayers will heartily
indorse It at tho polls next Monday.
The common people, the homeown
ers and middle classes upon whom
the burden of taxation falls hoavlcat,
are heartily In favor of Strain's poli
cy, because he has raised tho values
sn the property of the railroads to
make them pay a Just sharo and ho
has also raised values on the great
tracts of wheat lands owned by the
wealthy who are holding and farming
tills land for speculative purposes,
while living In tho towns.
This, class of land, not occupied as
tomes, but owned in large bodies by
non-resldouts and largo holders living
Id tho cities before Strain's assess
ment, did not pay an equal share with
the llttlo homo on which tho family
Hvos and on which tho earnings aro
spent In Improvements. It Is tho
targe holder who Is kicking, and tho
reason Is upparont at a glance.
You peoplo who elected Mr. Strain
in 1902 by such a handsome majority
can compliment yourselves that ho
lias carried out tho policy you choso
at that tlmo. Ho took tho office in a
demoralized condition and made tho
rat assessment 321 cheaper than it
and been dono for sovon years boforo.

Asa B. Thompson has donled tho
statements of F. B. Holbrook'u frlonda
that ho is interested In an irrigation
colonization schemo with Mr, Hoi
brook, as stated by Holbrook's sup
purtors. Mr, Thompson Is interested
It looks now as If either McClellan
of New York, or Folk of St. Louis
will be nominated for president by the
democratic convention, and In either
Instance, the country would witness
ono of tho best races in tho history
of tho two parties., Folk has a nation
al reputation, and McClellan has an
ancestry that would make him espe
cially popular In nil sections. Either
of them will make n warm race for
the "only Teddy," and whllo there
seems to be every indication that
Itoosovelt will bo tho next president,
yet ho will bo given a race that he
will remember. Even with his great
popularity, there will be much of the
race that will not bo smooth sailing
for him. Ho cannot reconcile the
South to his negro policy. The Hook
er T. Washington luncheon will al
ways be a ghost in tho closet of south
ern republicanism as long as Roose
velt Is In office.
The whole foundation for the Tri
bune's attack on Judge Hnrtman was
swept away by Horace Walker's frank
admission that he and T. P. Ollllland,
and not Judge Hartmnn, were respon
sible for the poor furm purchase.
These two republican county commis
sioners agreed to purchase tho Chap
man farm, satisfied themselves as to
the title and tho price and authorized
Us purchase and If there was any
thing crooked In the deal, which there
was not, thoy, and not Judge- Hart
man, are responsible. All the other
groundless assaults vmado by the Tri
bune upon Judge Hnrtman were Just
as weak and unsupported as this une,
and It has made friends for htm by
exhibiting Its purely malicious- motives.
DESERT MADNESS.
"It Is not generally understood that
tho silence of tho desert has a mad
dentng effect upon the human brain,"
says n traveler in tho Illrmlnghnm
News, whose experiences are not or
ten paralleled. ".Monotony la more
severe than anything else deriving Its
entire pain from mental effect. Tho
mouotony of sllenco is worse than
any other kind.
"Take a man away from tho hum
of the work of men and send him out
on the alkali deserts of Arizona, and
the deep silence becomes awful and Is
sometimes .unbearable. All at once,
without any previous symptoms, some
member of the party may stop sud
donly with a dazed look In his faco
and a wild expression In his eye. Ho
is dangerous. His reason Is torn In
wild confusion. Anything or anybody
tnmiiinr lufurlntcs mm.
"He must be disarmed and bound
at once or he will deal death to tho
whole party. Ho Is possessed of 'des
ert madness,' brought on by. tho mon
ofony of silence. Ho- suffers excruci
ating mental anguish. He needs to
be relloved by being brought back to
his accustomed surroundings.
"On this account men used to tho
desert refuse to go out with thoso
with whom thoy are well acquainted.
Tho mad man Is not likely to attack
a stranger. If there Is no friend in
the party his madness Is likely to as
sert itself In running rather than in
fighting. It Is a fearful dlscaso not
yet understood."
THE GAMBLERS' ALLY.
BUMPER HOBO CROP.
With a 0ne wheat harvest in pros
pect there Is reason to look for a
bumper hobo crop. Tho signs already
oolnt to an unusually largo lnpourlng
of the weary visitors who are seeking
all they may devour. Times aro easy
and the fnt of tho land Is to bo had
almost for the asking. What brighter
or more bountiful fields could these
improvident wanderers find for a sum
mer of Idleness and contentment?
Hut tho hobo has worn out his wel
come in tho wheat belt. There has
been too much of him. For soveral
seasons ho has browsed on the best ot
pasturage and a porlod of tmlnterrupt
"d leisure has made him "chesty," as
tho expression goes. Satisfied with
his sovereignty, ho has been Intol
erant of tho rights of others. Ho has
not troubled himself with laws gov
cmlng the ownership of property; ho
hns been Insolent to the orderly citi
zen; ho has been tho torror of tho
housowlfe, and ho has-frightened tho
children. Plainly put, ho has becomo
nn Incubus, a non-producer, a para
site, a nuisance. Ho tolls not, neither
does ho spin, and yot ho lives com
fortably at the oxpense of those who
labor In tho hent of tho day. Mani
festly, ho Is not a forco In tho com
munity that Is wanted.
Holding theso viows, tho authorities
of tho affected districts havo decided
that tho hobo must bo forced to move
on. Ho Is not a useful factoc when
tho tlmo comes for garnorlng tho
grain, preferring, as he does, to bunco
tho wngo earner, rlflo the back porch
larder and despoil tho hen house, llo
is part of a vicious eloment, with no
redeeming traits, and Ills room la
mora desired than Ills company. No
community that has heon afflicted
with him can bo blamed tor demand-,
fog "hat ho bo driven forth.-Spokos-mnn-llovlew,
A railroad company could not, it Is
true, be expected to uso extraordinary
vigilance to seo that burglars- never
purchased tickets or rode on passen
ger trains from ono city to another.
Hut a railroad company that should
go into the business of organizing a
service of special night trains to ena
ble bank robbers to escape, with tho
understanding that it should receive
a very large part of tho average- pro
fits of safeblowlng, would bo engaged
in a distinct departure from the
function of a common carrier. Then?
is no Haw in tho analogy.
The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, well knowing that tho carrying
on of the pool room business is a
crime In New York, ns It Is In most
states of the Union, had nevertheless
acquired a monopoly of tho collection
and sale of the commodity which
alone makes pool rooms possible, and
had then gone deliberately Into tho
business of helping tho mio1 rooms- to
evade the officers of tho law, on con
dition of sharing largely in their Ill
gotten gains. From "Tho Progress of
tho World." In tho American oMnthly

Every woman covott
shapely, pretty figure, and
ninny of them deplore the
loss ot their girlish forms
after marriage. The bearing
of children is often destructive
to the mother's shapeliness.
All of this can be avoided.
'however, by tho uso of Mother's Friend before baby comes, as this
great liniment always prepares the body for the strain upon it, and
S reserves the symmetry of her form. Mother's Friend overcomes all the
anger of child-birth, nnd carries tho expectant mother safely through
this critical period without an. It is woman's greatest blessing.
