A picture of hell wouldn't be com plete without a race track and a bet ting shed, says the Seattle Star. That Is a severe Indictment. No doubt It will be resented by book makers, who are of the opinion that they are honest, and who assert that the public doesn't have to spend money with them. They do not com pel clerks to rob thrflr employers for money to play the races. But these defalcations do occur In an alarming number. In fact, they are so common that the amount stolen must be large or the theft made in some peculiar manner to even attract the Interest of the public. The West has its story of a young man who robbed, forged, plunged and was found out, to the extent of half a million. The East ha3 the case of Frank O'Donnell, a beardless lad of IS, who, nt the race track, was told that a large forgery had been placed against him, and calmly asked ' the arresting officer to let him play the next race, as he was "doing well." It Is said that he raised checks for pay ment on his weekly salary of $7 to J700, and in one instance to $7,000, and cashed them while his employer was in Europe. "Oh," says one man, "these fellows that steal are a bad lot. If they did not go to hell by the race track route they would by some other. Why stop good sport for men who can stand It because a few mealy-mouthed kids cannot stand temptation?" Why? Because humanity is weak. Iook over the list of men whom you know, who have gone wrong, and you wilt be shocked. You could have sworn that most of them had the moral stamina to stand any test. They didn't. They were weaker than they realized themselves. They saw bigger men and richer men accumulating coin by the sudden rriethodfi of gam bling; their necessities bore heavily upon them, and so they yielded. All men have 'not the moral courage that you have, and so It Is the duty of gov ernments and individuals to make it as easy to do right, by constant war against wrong as possible. Gambling In any form is an explos ive. It is dangerous to handle. It is dangerous to have about. It wilt ex plode and it will injure those who might otherwise have lived honest Ive. It is not a necessity. The best way and the easiest way to make men good Is to minimize the chances for evil doing. If racing can not exist without a gambling attachment, then humanity Is best off without racing. The automobile promises the great est results for the common people of any modern means of travel. It will even surpass the railroad In furnish ing enjoyment, education and wide intercourse among the people of dif ferent states. With the powerful auto, touring parties can safely strike into the interior districts, where rail road tourists are forbidden by the limitations of railway construction to go. The tourist in the auto can leis urely study the beauties and the peo ple of every remote corner. They can stop and visit, exchange thoughts, learn the peculiarities and. surround Ings of every community and thus breed and cultivate a more specific knowledge of every locnllty visited. A remarkable example of this wldo and varied scope of knowledge of the people and country, attained by nuto moblllng Is seen in the established auto route between Chicago and New York city. Hundreds of people are now making this trip, enjoying the rural districts ami studying the ham lets, farming districts, cities and peo ple of the three great states of In diana, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Such education, attained at first hand must be benetlainl. It leads td closer un derstanding of the conditions sur rounding people In various circum stances. It wilt remove prejudice and narrowness, makp the American people one community of neighbors, respecting nnd loving each other, be cause of actual acquaintance, Instead of a nation of commercial vampires, preying on each other. Scarcely a day passes that does not bring some veteran subscriber to this office, who says: "I have never miss ed reading a number of the East Ore goulan for 30 years;" or "I was among the first subscribers to the pa per when It was founded, and have read it every week since then." There Is something more than a cold busi ness relation existing between a newspaper nnd subscribers who have been thus loyal. There Is a deeper and a more genuine spirit of frater nity existing between the paper and the reader thus bound together, than could ever be engendered by a mere matter of getting so many papers for so much money. It Is truly a matter of conscious pride to hear such ex pressions. Thirty years of loyalty to the home newspaper, means more than can be expressed In words. It means that the very Imprint of the spirit of the paper can be found on the community. In such an extend ed association the reader must take on something of the thought, some thing of the disposition, something of the conscience and color of the paper so zealously read, and If In the for mation of the sturdy citizenship and fearless, honest characters that make up the settlements of Umatilla coun ty, the past fearless and outspoken policy of the East Oregonlan can claim nny part, that is sufficient re ward for its work. It pledges to the sons of these veteran subscribers the same unfaltering faith and watchful ness in future that has linked It to the homes and hearts of the fathers. In the past. In reading today's lC-page East Oregonlan, you are invited to study the advertisements. They are not curled for fun. Every line means something. You will find what you want there and can save money by making a systematic practice of looking over every ad in the paper every day. If you don't find a firm's name among the advertisers, Just make up your mind that such firm has nothing new to offer. The Inner spirit of Russia is exhib ited in her furious repudiation of the universal peace Idea advanced by the Peace congress which Just adjourned In Boston. When the czar called the first Hague conference the flower of the Russian army was not being plucked away by Japanese guns.

We are building 13 battleships to England's 10, Germany's seven nnd France's six, nnd 13 great armored cruisers, practically battleships, to England's 16, France's six and Ger many's two. We ure Just finishing half a dozen smaller cruisers. We have more first-class battleships al ready built than nny other country In the world except England, and the English editor of Brassey's Naval Annual says that In ten years at tho present rate we shall displace Great Britain as the first naval power of the globe. New York World. New York Loan Sharks When the victim, generally a clerk on a smnll salary, enters the office a young woman behind n railed desk questions him as to his age, his em ployment, his liability to sudden death, his associates and his habits, says the New York Globe. Then he Is ushered into the presence of tho "manager," who Inquires what he wnnts. "A loan," says the victim. "You must have made a mlstnke," replies the manager blandly. "We make no loans here. Sometimes, though, we buy salaries. If you have one to sell we will pay you cash for It. Not Its full value, of course, but the discount Is small." The victim then announces that he has two weeks' salary, face value $38, to sell. "Well," says the shnrk, "we will give you J2S.G0 for It. You can de liver the salary In eight weekly In stallments of J4.7B." In this way the borrower pays $9.50 Interest on $28.50 for eight weeks. For the loan of $100 about $2G Is charged for two months. Another system Is used by a shark who poses as a "private banker," and whose main place of business Is out of the state. He has several branch offices in this city, all of which are In charge of young women, and the game Is rnrried on through tho malls. The borrower first lias to pay a fee of $1, which, he Is told. Is the cost of making out an application. This ap plication Is sent to the our-of-the-state office. In a few days the bor- rower receives a check for the amount of the loan, with a typewritten en closure saying that if he does not wish to retain the check he may send It back and tho deal will be declared off. The following printed notice is nlso enclosed: "AH payments must be made nt said address on the date when notes are due. 'If not they will be protested and put into the hands of a collec tion ngency or attorney for collection, and the maker will have to pay pro test nnd collection charges besides the Interest from maturity. Checks of private individuals not accepted. Checks, drafts or orders sent by mall will be sent at sender's risk. Remit tances from out of town should be mnlled at least one day before note Is due." If the borrower applied for a loan of $20, the check he receives Is for $16.25, he agreeing to pay the money back in five weekly Installments of $4 each. Payments are mnde to the young woman in charge of the branch office where the loan was negotiat ed, and she gives the victim a "check" to mall to the "banker." This check In reality Is merely her receipt for payment and Is not nego tiable. If the borrower neglects to mail the check on time or If any nccl dent occurs to delay Its delivery, he receives forthwith a notice from the private banker" which reads: "A note dated and payable and signed by you, the payment thereof having been by me demanded, nnd having been noted by me this day for non-payment, I hereby notify you that the holder looks to you for pay ment. Interest, cost nnd damages. "Done nt the request of the hold er." There Is Inserted the name of the "private banker," and the document Is signed by a woman in his employ and sworn to before a notary public. The charge for this "protest" Is $1.3". No grace Is allowed to the bor rower, and If he Is tardy on all five payments it will cost him $0.85 for protest fees, which. Including $3.75 Interest, will make the cost of a loan of $16.25 for five weeks $10.60, or at the rate of $110.24 a year. If the borrower doesn't come to time with the payments of interest and protest fees he Is harrassed by mall and In person until he gives up. PRESIDENT COMMERCIAL CLUB. OF LOUISIANA.

What Is 'home when you're dress ing In a, hurry and can't find any Plnt Hon. William Watson Washburn, President of tho Louisiana Commercial Club, and a vory well known man of Now Orleans, La., writes from 037 Canal strcot: " 1 am satisfied that thoro Is not n finer medlclno placed before tho public to-day than Peruna. I have beou troubled for nearly twolvo years with kidney niut liver trouble, and at times I have been a pretty sick man,unablo to attend to my duties. I had about made up my mind thai no medicine could help me, when one of your booklet was brought to my ofllco which I read in a lel.-mro hour. I then decided to glvo l'cruna a trial and fouud that I had at laxt secured the right medlclno for mo. For two months I used It faithfully and then felt so well 1 was liko a young man onco more. This was ovor a year ago nnd I liavo not had any trouble since. Although I am in the seventies I feol botto'r nnd more nctlvo than I did thirty years ago." W. W. Washburn. Most derangements of tho kidneys are due to catarrh of tho kidneys, Puruna is a catarrh remedy.

What Is home without any Ice on a hot night when you have u two und a half yard thirst? Many a man would bet. ter go without lunch at all than eat the hurried lunch which forms the noon-day meal of many a business man. Hasty eating, foods hard to digest, and no time allowed for digestion are the cause of many a .case of stomach "trouble." Disease of the stomach seriously threatens the health of the whole body and should be promptly cured. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutri tion. It enables the perfect assimilation of food and the proper nutrition of the body ou which physical strength depends. "Nine or ten years ago my health became wry poor, anil In 189a was so tar gone that good doctor prououuetd my cite the worst they hid ever treated, write Mr. Harvey Phlpps. of Florence, Ala. "I had acute stomach trouble, liver complaint, catarrh and was nervous to such an extent X could not sleep. 1 finally got three bottle of Or. 1'ierce' Golden Medical OlKovcry and some 'Pellet.' Took them according; to directions on tbe bottle, and In a few days noticed a decided Improvement. 1 commenced to get more rest at night and could cat with plcuure, where formerly food wa like chip to me.
