tor George Friable Hoar, in
Concord. Just finished. bears
this Inscription, written by
Senator Hoar himself:
T have no faith In fatalism. 4
in destiny, hi blind force. I 4
believe la God. the living God.
I believe in the American peo-
pie. a brave and free people,
who do not bow the neck or
bend the knee to anyone, tind
who desire no other to bow the
Beck or bead the knee to them.
I believe that a rnpublla la

lieve. finally, whatever clouds
may darken the horizon, the
world la growing better, that to-
day is better than yesterday
and that tomorrow will be bet-
ter than today."
DAMAGING 1X1 PARMKHR.
Dozens of country people In the vl
eimty of Pendleton briny fresh meat
to. this- city, especially Just preceding
the. holiday season, for tho purpose
t raising money with which to buy
Christmas pr.-se.nts for tie family.
Hairy of these, .families depend al
anost entirely upon thl-i method of
raisins money for (heir Christmas
cheer. The farm always supports a
mail, herd of young' cattle. Just
healthful. Just as fat, just aa. clean
and wholesome as any to be found in
the, world.
Because this beat is peddled out
at a cheaper price than prevails In
the butcher shops the butchers are
very much opposed to It and as a re
sult of this opposition to meat ped
aling many Btorlca arc told.
One of the favorite stories is that
the meat coming from the country
aeople Is diseased, ordinarily as pal
pable a falsehood as ever was hatch
ed by business rivalry.
The Morning Tribune published a
statement that such meat was dis
eased. It thereby injured every poor
man in the county who owns a small
herd of cattle and who butchers a z
r 3-yar-old steer or fattens a dry
aow to butcher before the holidays,
as is the immemorial custom In this
country.
. The Tribune . did not specify. It
made a sweeping accusation. It said
a p-ornrnent butcher, without men
tioning names, dates, incidents or
circumstances, thereby creating; a
wholesale prejudice against every
poor family which butchers an anl
aoal and peddles It to residents of the
city as they have a perfect right to
do.
The statement of the Tribune this
morning adds but little light to the
matter. The statement Is still gen
era! anl sweeping and emphasis Is
toil upon the thought "that It was not
a farmer." In hopes of removing the
wholesale stigma It paired upon the
reputation of farmers and country
people who bring farm produce to
the city.
Does any one believe that a
butcher would allow a peddler to Hell
diseased beef unmolested. If the
butrher thought the meat was ac
tually diseased and would prove to
be such on a test? Does any one be
Here that the name of the party ped
dling su-h beef would be allowed to
escape the butchers of the city?
The butchers are familiar with the
laws. They know what officer to
make complaint to In cases of viola
tion.
This la a big, broad, free country.
Every man has u. right to conduct
legitimate business as long as he
deals honorably and Is within the
law. Cut it la the height of Injua
Bee to create an unfair and unfound
ed prejudice against a large class of
tfeaervlng people as the Tribune has
done by this attack.
TIUIEATENH TI1K WEST.
The eastern representatives in con
gress answer the demand of the Call
fornla representatives who are tie
mantling the exclusion of the Japan
ese by saying: "Don't farce us to
open the doom to the Chinese; you
must not bar the Japs, and if you
make this an issue we will he (breed
to remove the Chinese exclusion law.'
Thus the west is threatened with a
flood of Chinese, in return for tut de
mand for protection to the white la
bor of the Pacific coast. While the
Ude of Japanese labor to the United
States is now checkod temporarily by
the new openings made in eastern
Asia by the llusso-Japaneae war, yet
it Is a signVicunt fact that this lull in
the tide will bo but temporary.
The west should have soma assur
ance of protection against the Ori
entals, when the overflow starts to
this country, as it surely will. The
Chinese boycott Is a chimera. China
must have goods and sm must tako
them from this country, since it is
nearer than Kurope and Kuropean
mills are employed from othor mar
kets. The east is using the boycott
as an excuse for removing the ox
elusion act and instead of favoring a
check to Japanese labor to this coun
try, threatens to open the door to the
Chinese.
NO JOINT ST ATI-STOOD.
The Han Francisco Star says of
the attempt to force joint statehood
for Arixona and New Mexico:
Whether we insist on calling "the
United States" a plural or a singular
noun, every American distinctly
claims ono state as his own.
Migratory as most aro, married or
divorced, dead or alive, rich or poor,
blonde or brunette, the genuine
American has his home and fixes his
pride in Kansas or Maine or Loulsl
ana, or, if he bo very fortunate, in
California.
Consequently, the effort to have
congress pass a bill offering statehood
to Arizona and Now Mexico as ono
state grossly affronts the crUnens of
both territories. Arixona has a his
tory of her own. Her people have
made, to a great extent, their own
laws sifter their own peculiar needs;
they have their prido; they hare their
ambitions and their affections. Why
should they be forced to transfer it
all to New Mexico, lose their name
and the memorials of their history?
Were New Mexico and Arizona both
willing, the plan of Joint statehood
would be a good one. When both
are unwilling, and Arixona Injured
besides, there is little profit in a con
trrcss trying to make a aew state with
legislative glue. Stairs are not made
that way.

The Philippine Islands offer the
greatest opportunity for rare educa
tion ever presented to the young peo
ple of America.
Thousands of teachers, physicians,
nurses, surveyors, government clerks
and people In other occupations will
be needed for the Islands perpetually
us long as the United Slates retain
them.
The education received from asso
ciation with the Islands and the peo
ple, the opportunities for travel en
route both ways and tho wide experl-
cnx gained in the government serv-
c.e must certainly be attractive to the
imhltious young man or woman.
It is a new world of adventure and
learning. It Is a new life for the
American and a term of service there
must broaden the scope of mental
vision as scarcely any other training
would do.
Aside from the pay offered In gov
ernment positions In the Islands, the
natural attractiveness of the country
Is a strong Incentive for teachers to
prepare for service there.

SUFntAtJK IX NKW KMALANi).
In Mark Twain's "Following the
Kquutor" are a couplo of : pages de
voted to woman suffrage . In New
Zealand In which he gives tho offi
cial figures showing that women vote
In that country In as great a propor
tion as do the men. In the official
report ho also found this statement:
"A feature of the election was the
orderliness and sobriety of tho peo
ple. Women were in no way molest
ed." In commenting upon this he
says:
"At home a standing argument
against woman suffraKi has always
been that women could not go to tho
polls without being Insulted. Tho
prophets have been prophesying ever
since the woman's rights movement
began in 1848 and in 47 years they
have never scored a hit..
"Men ought to begin to feel a sort
of resnect for their mothers and
wives anil sisters by this time. The
women deserve a change of attitude
like that, for they have wrought well.
In 4 7 yours they have swept an Un
poslngly large number uf unfair laws
from the statute books of America.
In that brief time these serfs have
set themselves free essentially. Men
could not have done so much for
themselves In that time without
bloodshed at least they never have.
The women have accomplished a
peaceful revolution, and a very betio
flclent one; and yet that has not con
vinced tho average man that they
are Intelligent and have courage and
energy and perseverance and forti
tude. "It takes much to convince the
average man of anything: and per
haps nothing can ever make him
realize that he is the average woman's
inferior yet in several Important
details the evidences seem to Bhow
that that is what he Is. Man has
ruled the human race from the be
ginning but he should remember
that up to the middle of the present
century It was a dull world, and ig
norant and stupid. This Is woman's
opportunity she has had none be
fore. I wonder where man will be
In another 4.7 years."
