Whenever any one is releas
ed from a Jail or penitentiary
after a long sentence, we lead
that while he was in poor or
downright bad health when he
entered he comes out as hearty
as a brick. Yet almost without
exception Jails and penitentiar
ies are unsanitary, sunless
places, with no facilities for
precautions usually taken by
those who wish to get or keep
healthy. The mystery lies In
two words regularity and
diet. The first is perhaps the
more important. . Clock-like
regularity; everything done on
the same second every day; a
recognition of the Tact that the
body is a machine.' Then, as
a supplement to this, a simple
diet plain, not ' too varied
enough to eat, but not too
much. Saturday Evening Post
WHY ARE WE J1QST1I.K?
The tenor of a most friendly letter
received by the East Oregonian from
a good friend of Eastern Oregon re
siding in Portland, is this: "Why is
Eastern Oregon hostile to Portland?"
Simply because Portland wills it
so.
Portland could wipe away the last
barrier between he-self and Eastern
Oregon If she would. The policies
which have been most ruinous to
Eastern Oregon for the past 31) years
have been dictated by Portland. The
refusal of rMilrniuly to grant termi
nal rates to Eastern Oregon points,
has been made at he solicitation of
Portland jobbers who desired to mo
nopolize the trade of the interior and
Isolated counties and enlisted the
railroads in their plans.
Since the first train of cars was
run over the- Blue mountains. East
ern Oregon consumers have paid the
freight on their goods from the East
to Portland and the local rate back
from Portland to the destination, in
stead of securing a terminal rate from
the East to the destination of the
goods in the interior points. It is
out of the bounds of possibility to
compute the unjust tribute thus ley
ied upon the helpless consumers of
the interior.
Portland lias dictated this policy
because she did not wish to lose the
trade of the Eastern Oregon counties.-
and to "'prevent Eastern Oregon
merchants from ordering from the
same Eastern houses that Portland
jobbers ordered frcvm, they adopted
this ruinous freight rate policy. One
protest from Portland In the past
would . have abolished this unjust
rate.
And now, after thus bleeding this
helpless district, Portland asks: "Why
are you hostile?"
Another further reason why East
ern Oregon Is Justly hostile at Port
land cupital, is this: Instead of car
rying out the profuse promises to de
velop the interior of Oregon by
branch lines of railroad, made by
Portland Commercial clubs. Boards
of Trade and Chambers of Commerce,
Portland leaves the rich districts of
Oregon to their own fate and builds
a branch railroad Into Klickitat coun
ty. Washington, a district already
supplied with roads leading to Puget
Sound and affording ample trans
portation facilities for the country.
Another reason Is that Portland de
sires to manipulate the legislatures
of Oregon for her own private ends.
If she cannot use Eastern Oregon
deb-gates to her own purposes, she
does not recognize their demands.
She dictated the ruinous Gerryman
der In creating the second congres
sional district, to include Eastern Or
egon In a district with Portland, while
the Interests of the two sections are as
widely separated as Is the east from
the west and Portland having the
majority of the votes selects the can
didates and directs their policy.
In fact. Eastern Oregon is regular
ly shorn by Portland, but Is allowed
to browse on any refuse forage which
she may be able to find.
Eastern Oregon rgrets the neces
sity of showing hostility to the me
tropolis of the great state of Oregon.
Hut Eastern Oregon must defend her
interests. Promises from Portland
are empty. For 30 years Eastern
Oregon has been clamoring for an
open river to Lewiston. Portland
has held the key to this situation, yet
the barrier still stands in the Co
lumbia, Portland politicians have
manipulated this matter to carry
water on both shoulders, promising
the people to act and in the same
breath assuring the railroads that
they need not be alarmed. Portland
boasts of one man from that city
having served in the United States
senate for over 20 years yet what
has he done for Eastern Oregon?
Periodically Portland calls a great
mass meeting of the people of Ore
gon for the ostensible purpose of Qre
moting a good feeling and discussing
plans for mutual advancement.
Elaborate resolutions are passed,
promises are made, hurrahs are
shouted and the Eastern Oregon del
egates are sent home with a dazzle
of gorgeous optimism bewildering
their minds, only to find when the
day of performance arrives, jt was
all a show so many railroad tickets
sold and so many visitors in Portland
for a day nothing more. I
This condition is regrettable but
true. And It Is a further reason why
Eastern Oregon is coming to her sen
ses and feels hostile
Eastern Oregon is willing to go
more than half way to remedy these
evils, if Portland will only "stand
pat." and keep her promises when
the day of performance comes. She
has idle capital, has political and
commercial power and can regulate
legislation and freight rates in the
interest of Eastern Oregon. If she
will do it, then the cause for hostili
ties will have been swept away.
Cattlemen organize.
The call for a state organization of
cattlemen, cominir fnim Crook coun
ty, should be heeded. It is the only
logical way in which to get results tn
these days of organization. All in
dustries handling range products are
organized, from the offal men In the
packing bouses to the railroads that
handle the livestock. So If the pro
ducers of the livestock do mil com
bine they stand between the cross
fires of their enemies.
Woolgrowers have found unions
profitable. From one to two cents
I per pound have been added to 1 ma-
tilla county wool prices by the union
of woolgrowers. Cannot such bene
fits be brought to the cattlemen by
a union? Cannot better prices, cehap
er railroad rates and more just treat
ment from the representatives of the
beef trust be secured by a union of all
the producers of cattle?
As it Is each individual cattleman
stands alone against the organized in
terest opposed to him. He alone Is
unorganized. All those with whom
he must deal in marketing his pro
duct are united for mutual protection.
MAY USE INDIAN TRADE.
The little sermon from Spokane
Jim, In today's East OreBonlan, on
the evils of whiskey peddling
among the Indians, may give Pendle
ton business men a tip as to what
the liquor traffic in this city is
about to bring upon them.
If Commissioner Leupp, of the de
partment of Indian affairs, finds that
Pendleton will not suppress whiskey
peddling, he will certainly place a
post trader on the reservation and
forbid the Indians from visiting the
city.
He is a practical man, caring noh
ing for the partisan lash and Is go
ing to Improve the Indians, regard
less of what the politicians say. If
he finds that Pendleton cannot and
will not make an effort to suppress
the whiskey traffic among the Indi
ans, he will institute a program that
will cost Pendleton $150,000 per
year In the loss of the Indian trade.
And this Is madr possible by the
presence of about five or six Joints
which make a business of selling
whiskey to Indians. If Pendleton
cannot regulate the joints, Leupp will
regulate the Indians.

OYKK 70,000 UNDERFED.
Inspired by a statement attributed
to Robert Hunter, of the New York
Child Labor committee, that 70.000
school children In New York city went
to school underfed, says the New
York World. Inspector H. M. Lech
trecker, of the state charities depart
ment, made an Investigation of the 32
industrial schools in the borough of
Manhattan and the Bronx, under the
supervision of the department, and
submitted his report today. In It he
says:
"In presenting the accompanying
statistics, which I believe will be of
general Interest, I would call particu
lar attention to the fact that the 32
industrial schools canvassed are all
located In very poor districts, wherein
the alleged 70,000 would be likely to
be found, and are by reason of their
special organization, closely In touch
with the real poor of the neighbor
hood." The report states that there are 10,
707 pupils In the 32 schools, which are
classified as follows:
Number who occasionally come
without breakfast, through poverty,
43i).
Number whose anaemic condition
suggests insufficient food coffee or a
piece of bread 998.
Number of children whose breakfast
Is bread and ooffee or tea and bread
only, 7,415.
Only 1.855 children out of the 10,
000 enjoy breakfasts more substan
tial than bread or coffee.
Robert Hunter, when seen at his
home. No. 88 Grove street, last night,
said that his report was a remarka
ble verification of his estimate that
70,000 school children of New York
city are underfed.
"I never made the statement that
"0,000 children go to school breakfast
less. What I did say was that over
"0.000 school children In Greater New
York are underfed. My estimate.
which Includes the school children of
the entire city, I consider to be under
the mark, and this report would seem
to bear me out. I really believe that
there are many more than 70.000 un
derfed school children in this city."

long time with sores on my face and

but they all took my money. My

WAR POEM MY MIKADO.
The emperor of Japan from his
early youth has always been enthusi
astically devoted to that art so high
ly esteemed in Japan the art of
writing poetry. His majesty has the
faculty of improvisation, and the
number of short odes and stanzas
composed by him are said to number
thousands. Recently one of the lead
ing Tokio dallies published his majes
ty's latest composition., which has to
do with the war. This translation Is
taken from the Japan Gazette:
The flower of youth sail bravely
forth
And, fighting still, they will not yield,
While women wait from south to
north
And feeble age must till the field.
Our people's prayers (.with hopeful
heart
In full sincerity expressed)
Must answer find, in whole or part,
Our cause above be surely blessed.
This troublous state on sea and land
We must deplore and fall to see
The reason why, nor understand,
But crave with all fraternity.

Some years ago while at work, I fell
ver a truck and severely injured both
it my shins. My blood became poisoned
as a result, and the doctor told me I
would have running sores for life, and
that if they were healed up the result
would be fatal. Under this discouraging
report I left off their treatment and re
torted to the use of S. S. S. Its effect!

only a short while for the medicine to en
tirely cure up the sores, and I am not
