A STATE HIGHWAY.
Coxey's dream was a national boule
Tard stretching across mountain
stream and desert from the Pacific to
tho Atlantic coast, 100 feet wide,
smooth and level, bordered by forest
trees and marked by wayside wells
and watering places at convenient
distances. This was to be built by
the government, for the purpose of
employing Idle labor of the country,
thus abolishing the tramp evil.
It was to be made a national high
way for .wairon nurnmnhilo hn,u r .1
foot travel, thus bringing the two
coasts within easy reach of each
other and making travel a pleasure.
It was to be maintained by the gov
ernment, the wages to be paid to he
enough to support laborers in dull
times, and all states through which It
passed were expected to assist In forc ing
tramps to work by passing strin
gent vagrancy laws.
The idea of a state highway from
Portland south to the California line
Is an Imitation of the dream of Coxey,
but It is on a smaller scale and is
practical because It can be built by
convict labor within reasonable cist
and would place the two states In a
stone's throw of each other.
It would be the beginning of a net
work of great boulevards uniting the
settlements of the Northwest in one
common neighborhood. It would be
much more profitable to the people
of Oregon to have the convicts en
gaged In some public improvement of
this kind, rather than to have them
"farmed" out at a nominal rental to
the rich corporations which have
reaped a harvest from Oregon convict
labor for years past.
Automobile and bicycle travel,
travel by team and horseback, would
thus be stimulated In the country dis
tricts, and such a boulevard stretching
from Portland to San Francisco would
be one of the most delightful posses
sions of the states of Oregon and
California.
Since It would pass through the
fertile and raln-blcssed Willamette
valley It could be made beautiful by
borders of shrubs, forests and flow
ers and it would be a national attrac
tion. It Is a subject worthy of the con
sideration of the legislature and It Is
hoped that the governor's commis
sion gives It the thought It deserves.
COD AND YELLOW JACK.
Certain good old brothers of the
South are yet firm In the belief that
the yellow fever Is a curse sent upon
communities by divine wrath.
If the dear old Ignoramuses only
knew It, their dirty back yards and
not their religion or moral conduct
re responsible. If they would sweep
out their gutters and fumigate their
cesspools and lay pipes to carry away
their sewage, Instead of praying so
long and loud while the fever mi
crobes were hatching, tho results
ould be much happier.
ocnerai uorgas, in cnarge or me
itatlon of Panama, and formerly In
btfrge of the cleanlng-up of Havana
hasproved to the satisfaction of the
tjrfliklng world that God has nothing
whatever to do with the spread or
propagation of yellow fever.
The only thing ho over did do to
perpetuate or spread It, perhaps, was
to design the pesky mosquito which
carries an infinitesimal speck of the
Infection In tho blood ho sucks from
a victim and Injects again into a woll
person. All other phases of It are
man's doing and including tho exter
mination of the mosquito, man can
put the whole scourge under his heel
In time, by scientific and prompt
measures.
WILLIAMSON'S CHANCE.
Political prejudice is like the Afrl
can turtle. After it once closes Its
Jaws upon an object which It desires
to attack, the only way to loose the
j jaws Is to cut the head off.
This is Williamson's chance of es
cape. As long as there Is life in the tur
tle of political prejudice In Oregon,
juries will hang on and on, and until
the very head of this prejudice is cut
off. there will be life and tenacity in
the closed jaws.
Williamson Is already convicted In
the mind of the public, which has
read the testimony and paid heed to
the two trials. No matter if a hun
dred Juries hang In trying succeeding
case, it will never replace him upon
his political pedestal.
But the more trials that occur the
deeper will political sentiment be
stirred and the more difficult will It
be to secure a Jury free from William
son favoritism. He has staunch
friends in every county and no amount
of sifting and quibbling over qualifi
cations will bar out the secret senti
ment that would close Its laws for
Williamson until doomsday before it
would let loose. Legally, he Is not
convicted and pehraps will noil be.
Morally he is thrice convicted and
needs no further sentence to be put
down and out forever In the eves of
the people.
It is unfortunate. The East Ore
gonlan does not gloat over such
things, but It cannot avoid pointing
to the lesson it bears, for the benefit
of others who are to serve the great
state In future.
THREE SUMMERS, NO WINTER.
This round, rolling, swinging thing
called the earth, is a miracle of sur
prises and delights, if one is In the
right mood to enjoy it and is fortu
nate enough to have the means. -
A Umatilla county family which
left Pendleton last August for New
Zealand Is now returning to Pendle
ton, having enjoyed three successive
summers and no winter in one year.
They spent the summer of 1904 in
Pendleton and left here in time to
reach New Zealand Just at the begin
ning of her summer in September.
They spent the months from Septem
ber, 1904, to June, 19o, in that
southern clime, and left it in June
just as the winter season came on
there.
Coming north across the equator
to the northern hemisphere, they
spent the summer of 1905 in Oregon,
making three successive summers
with not a touch of winter to mar the
enjoyable experience.
Thus, one may outrun the seasons
around the globe and put winter be
hind them by travel. Suppose gov
ernments owned all the transportation
lines and travel was within reach of
the poor, how many lives would be
spared and how many minds en
riched by such a variety of experi
ences. A club which owners of property
in wide open saloon towns hold over
the heads of renters, when they raise
rents constantly, is this: "Well, If you
don't want to pay, you will have to
get out. I can rent it to a saloon
tomorrow for an advance In price."
This Is what makes the cost of living
high in many places where everything
under the sun Is raised In abundance
and where freight rates are moderate
because of competition. It Is because
there is no regulation of saloons, li
censes are low and any dive can pay
high rent because it expects to make
money some way If not honestly,
then the other way. Let people look
Into these facts for the cause of high
living, and not blame merchants for
putting up prices.
PREFERS AN OPTLMIST.
"An optimist," said Uncle Jerry, "is
a man that thinks it will when it
won't, an' a pessimist is a feller that
thinks It won't when It will. The chap
that slides 'round 'tween the two an'
never knows whether It will or It
won't, he's a mlddlln' ac'rate Imita
tion of a plain, ord'nary dum fool.
Still, 'tween the three, give me the
optimist, for he's ruther consolln'
yes, he's ruther consolln'."
THE WORLD'S NEED.
So many gods, so many creeds.
So many paths that wind and wind,
While just the act of being kind
Is all the sad world needs.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
The Nes Perce Indians number 21
fewer than a year ago. There are
now 1562 members of the tribe. A
severe form of measles caused nearly

Unpleasant Traveling in
Far-off Siam
The Laos News Is a quarterly mag
azine, published at Chleng Mai, a city
600 miles north of Bangkok. Slam, on
the Me Ping river. Copies seldom
reacn America, but the current Issue
has Just come to the office of the
Presbyterian Tioard of foreign mis
sions in this city. In It Is told the
story of a 2ii0-mll Journey of Dr.
and Mrs. C. H. Denman, which offers
a marked contrast to travel condit
ions in America, where the distance
named is often covered in a few
hours.
The Journey from Chleng Mai to
Nan, the latter a town on the Me Nan
river, occupied Dr. mul Mrs. Denman
2u days. Travel was not constant,
but was as fast oh Is practicable lily
Kios. Mrs. Denman tells the story
and begins It with an incident of nn
ex-patlent of the doctor, who heard
that they were to go nwny and came
with u gift. She said: "I have caus
ed the doctor much trouble. Now f
have alreudy paid my bill, but I want
you to take this money and eat It on
the road." "I told her." writes Mrs.
Denman. "that the amount would
"end an evangelist out teaching nearly
a month. May I take the money and
use it thus in Nan? I am sure the
nourishing father (doctor) will be
pleased to use It so." She replied:
"Follow your own heart, but I have
much sympathy for you and think
you ought to eat it on the way."
Others came with farewell gifts, most
of them with several coppers "to eat
on the way," and still others had
eggs, sugar-cane, molasses, bananas,
etc.
"In making a journey of this kind,"
Mrs. Denman continues, "It is neces
sary to take one's hotel along. Tent,
bedding and camping outfit must be
transported. When we left Lampun
we had two ciders and 40 carriers,
and a Christian woman as my helper.
With 40 carriers there Is always trou
ble, and four men dropped out at
Lampun. Each man carries about 50
pounds In baskets at the end of a
pole, balanced across the shoulders.
The roads nre rough, frequent moun
tain streams must be crossed and the
men suffer much from sore feet
Every night the doctor got out a row
of salve bottles and touched up the
Inflamed spots. One poor fellow de
veloped a carbuncle on his shoulder,
where the carrying stick pressed. The
doctor treated him and he Insisted on
going the full Journey. We decided
he must have different nerves than
we are used to.
"Our journey was varied as to
means of locomotion. Starting out
with the pony cart we used it part
way. Then we rode by pony, then by
chair, carried by four men. Part of
the time we walked. The fourth day
we started out gaily by bicycle. We
hoped to reach Lakawn by noon, but
the doctor's handle bar got loose and
could not be tightened. Every little
while we had to stop and tinker it.
Finally, by putting in slivers of the
ever useful bamboo, we made the las
stages of the day's journey. The last
six days of the trip were most pleas
ant. We started parly each morning
and usually camped before noon. One
day, part of the company having gone
off the road, we did not get our tiffin
till long after the usual time. An
other time the distance to the stop
ping place proved much longer than
we expected and It was a hungry
weary crowd which sat down to the
mid-day meal at 3 in the afternoon.
As we had had nothing but a slice of
bread since 5 o'clock, we found that
hunger Is an excellent sauce. The last
day Dr. Denman and I rode on ahead.
It was amusing to see some of the
country people returning from mar
ket run for the woods as they saw
the queer looking animal, the bicycle
and its rider, approaching. Shortly
after 9 o'clock we reached Nan and
thus ended our 250-mile Journey by
Laotian express."
COMPLIMENTS WESTON.
The citizens of Weston, Or., are to
be congratulated upon the splendid
effort they have made to raise the
(10,000 required for the maintenance
of the eastern Oregon normal school,
located in their town. State aid
having been cut off, It devolved upon
the people themselves to provide the
necessary amount or see the school
closed.
According to a report Just received
from Weston they have subscribed
J7000 and have secured $2000 more
from Pendleton. It Is expected that
little trouble will be experienced In
raising the additional J 1000.
It would have been most unfortu
nate, not only for Weston, but for the
cause of education, had circumstan
ces compelled the closing of the
schools on account of a technicality
which deprived that Institution from
participation this year n the state
fund.
It is expected that the next legis
lature In Oregon will make a suffic
ient appropriation to reimburse those
who are now giving money for the
support of the school, besides allowing
funds for continuing ;he institution
Indefinitely. Spokesman-Review.
THE EXTRA SESSION.
There is no evidence that members
of congress, either senators or repre
sentatives, are particularly pleased
that an extra session will be called for
November 11. They are pleased that
the date Is In November Instead of In
October, as first reported, but they
would prefer to stay away until the
constitutional date. Congressmen do
not like the Idea of a president regu
larly subtracting from the time they
have to devote to their private busi
ness. It is likely that the convening
of congress before the regular time
Is to become more and more a matter
of course. With our system of com
mittee rather than ministerial prepar
ation of legislation, with Inevitable
slowness, and with a senate which
considers the lapse of time necessary
to the enactment of good laws, there
Is not time for congress to do Its
business In regular session unless ad
journment is delayed to such time as
Washington becomes very hot and
almost
intolerable. Presidents, as 1
I they contemplate, the country's needs,
are more and more apt, as President
Roosevelt has done once and is about
to do again, to believe an extra ses
sion necessary. New York Globe.
THE DYING GLADIATOR.
I see before me now the Gladiator He;
He leans upon his hand his manly
brow
Consents to death, but
agony;
conquers
And his drooped head sinks gradu
ally low,
And through his side tho last drops,
ebbing slow
From the red gash, fall heavy, one
by one,
Like the first of a thunder shower;
and now
The arena swims around him he
Is gone.
Eve leased the Inhuman shout
which halld the wretch who
won.
He heard it, but he heeded not his
eyes
Were with his heart, and that was
far away;
He recked not of the life he lost, nor
prize,
But where his rude hut by the Dan
ube lay
There were his young barbarians all
nt play;
There was their Harlan mother
he their sire,
Butchered td make a Roman holiday:
All this rushed with his blood
Shall he expire
And unavenged? Arise! ye Goths,
and glut your Ire!
. Lord Byron.
LESSON FROM NEW ZEALAND.
Innocent men in this and other
countries sometimes suffer imprison
ment, disgrace and loss of money and
time for which they get no redress
with freedom. New Zealand Is the
only land on earth where the Iniqui
ty has a remedy. A citizen of New
Zealand, a country whose advanced
methods are being watched with In
terest by enlightened governments,
who may be arrested charged with
a crime against the state, and on trla)
found Innocent, has his case taken by
court of equity. Tho defendant's
earning power is considered nnd he is
reimbursed for tho time lost as well
an the outlay he may have been sub-
Jected to in defending himself.
In choosing between a good name
and great riches, would the average
man hesitate long?
