HEADY TO DEFY THE LAW. .me people of Umatilla county have a right under the direct nomin--ating law to nominate candidates for all cour.ry offices, and they should ln- Mui on the observance and execution of this law. whatever the political I ootote.s iay. Thr gang should not nominate. This is the people's prerogative. The Morning Tribune In discussing ' ih tfaestlon of the legislative ticket from this county says: ine republi cans must not take chances on the direct primaries." WKat doe this statement mean ? Tmat the will of the people amounts t nothing In the estimation of the -Tribune? That the people, at the direct-nominating primaries, cannot and will not be trusted? Why should the republicans or the democrats, the socialists or the prohi bitionists be afraid to trust the peo ple. If those parties intend to nomin ate and elect clean men to omceT Wfcf Is the Tribune advocating viola tion and non-observance of the law, If Its Intentions and principles are s "Jran and honest? ' .A nor the Tribune Is afraid to trust i si people, and says "It must not take V. A I .art nrimirtM" vkai. is the natural conclusion? That it would select uen whom the people would not stand for? That It ' is ot in politics for principle, taking te will of the people as the supreme law. but that It Is a republican paper fsr mercenary ends and Is engaged in promoting personal Interest rather ihan the common good?

T(K) MANY SEMI-CITIZENS. The San Francisco Argonaut makes a "ten-strike" in commenting on the lax naturalization lavs and the enor mous number of bogus citizens or semi-citizens found In the United States today. Especially is this condition alarm ing in the large cities where foreign ers swarm like rats. Many of these are totally Ignorant of tie form of government: many of them carry the most vicious Ideals and principles In their breasts, only awaiting the touch of the match to the revolutionary Un der In their minds, to break forth In rebellion to the laws and organized authorities. Something should be done to check the Inflow. Something should be done to elevate the tone and charac ter of citizenship. The responsibili ties of that position were never greater than now and the tendency should be upward and not downward, as It seems to be. when the great un tutored hordes which are coming to this country are considered. The Ar gonaut says: Chicago has 80,000 residents who hold citizenship papers Illegally grant ed by the criminal courts. As a con sequence of the discovery of these frauds on the spirit of our laws, Sen ator Cullom and Congressman Bou telle of Illinois, have filed a petition by the civic federation of Chicago, asking for a remodeling of American naturalization laws. The facts which are the basis of the argument are uncontroverted. In happy-go-lucky style our courts have bestowed the benefits of citizenship on every man who has had two sponsors. Federal Investigation In San Francisco has shown that the sponsors have sometimes made a business of per jury. The reform prayed for should come. The naturalization of aliens should be restricted within rigid limits. But with better laws should come better execution. Formalities are not enough. The testimony of sponsors should be circumspectly considered; the fitness of the would-be American carefully Judged. Of course, a great Injury has already been done. There are many voters In San Fran cisco who never heard of Abraham Lincoln or the thirteenth amendment. These cases should be examined, and, if wrong has been done, their citizen ship papers should be canceled. Every year makes American citizen ship of greater value. It should not be sold cheap. If given to the tin worthy, It should1 be taken away. Secretary Taft to the champion long-dlstaace traveler of modern times. Since he became- governor of the Philippines In May, lO0, Secre tary Taft has traveled at least 100,000 miles In pursuance of his official du ties. Of the time required for his Journeylngs, 380 days were spent at sea and six full weeks In railway trains. In the course of his frist trip to the Philippines Secretary Tan made a Journey of S600 miles around the Is lands, establishing provincial govern ments. H's original trip out by way of Shanghai and Hong Kong covered nearly 12,000 miles. He came back to the Unltod States In poor health, and traveled stveral thousand miles on the mainland here. He returned to the Philippines by way of Home. Then he came from Manila to this country to become secretary of war. He next went to Panama, and recently he escorted a congressional delegation across the Pacific and around the Philippines. He then made another official trip to Panama. So far as purely official traveling noes, he has established a record that is likely to stand for many years. KEEP THE HALL A-HOLI.ING! Keep the ball a-rolllng. boys! Keep 'cr on the flit!

P1!'"'I.ETAI.IAT Instead of calllr.s" tht-mi-clves workmen, the Russian la borers refer to themselves as the pro-letari-.t. BLACK HUNDRED are the loyal; lsts among the workmen. They want reforms, but at the same time they have not lost their Inborn respect for the czar and for religion. They re gard as enemies all thoe who attack the czar and religion. REACTIONARIES are those who oppose the granting of liberal govern ment. .They are the large class of su perlor office holders and nobles who realize that when Russia Is free they mill lose their Jobs. INTELLECTUALS. A general term applied to the Russian people apart from the proletariat and reactionaries. They are educated Russians who are trying to liberate the government and are split up Into Innumerable parties who have great difficulty in working together. CONSTITUTIONALISTS are a small body who are opposed to violent means for securing freedom for Rus sia. They want all reforms to come from the duma, the new Russian par liament. CHRISTIAN DEMOCRATS are fol lowers of Tolstoy, who oppose all re sistance to the bureaucracy and who want the establishment of a co-operative community through the abolition of private ownership of land. BUND. The Jewish revolutionary organization, which Is working for the establishment of full local govern ment for Poland. It Is the best or ganized revolutionary force In Russia and Its work In Warsaw has com pletely terrorized the local authori ties there. ZEMSTOVISTS are the members of the various municipal governments of Russia who were the first.to begin a systematic agitation this year for the granting of a constitution: SOUTH AMERICAN" MUSIC. In the remains of the vast Indian nation shattered by Plzarro, the em pire of the Incas, every man and boy almost from the age when he can walk. Is an adept on their simple reed flutes and Pandean pipes. They are a musical race; there ara songs and airs for each season, fo; the planting, for the harvest, for the valorous deeds of the vanquished ca ciques, for their gods of old to whom a new significance has been Imposed by a pious church, and the long drawn chants by means of which, at their yearly gatherings, they pass down the history of their race. As there Is no written music: it la handed down from generation to generation by the eai alone. Their national Intsruments are but three In number: the flute a reed bout 18 Inches In length, with six holes, and a square slit at the end for a mouthpiece, played after the manner of a clarinet; the Pandean plpes a series of seven reed tubes that. In the large ones, are four feet In length, and In the smaller ones scarcely as many Inches, and the drum. Th last is the universal instrument of all peoples'; there are few races so low In the male of human society as not to posse It. The Predean pipes are In a double row. and, t the time of preparation by the Indians for the Intertribal wars the outer series Is filled with canassa. the native liquor, and the player re ceives the benefit of the Intoxicating fumes without the delay Incident to drinking frm the bottle. Harper's Weekly. cxitiorsr piiACE names. There has recently been published a report on trie place names of the United States, from which a few In teresting Instances are- given below. Chicago Is an Tndlar- word meaning wild onion or sRunk weed; Chesa peake Is also Indian", and Is variously Interpreted as highly salted water, great waters or country on great river. Chautauqua fs also an Indian word and has had several Interpre tations as a foggy place, a bag tied In the middle (referring to the shape of the lake), a place where a child was washed away, where Ihe fish are taken out, place of easy death, or, finally, place where one was lost. Des Moines is usually supposed to refer only to the Trapplst monks, and It Is also connected with an Indian word meaning the read. Niagara Is an Indian word signifying across the strait, or at the neck. Shenandoah Is Indian, and means the sprucy stream. or a river flowing along sldo of high hills. Massachusetts means near the great hills, or the hill shaped like an arrowhead; or, again, the blue hills. Mississippi means great water, or gathering In of all the waters, or nn almost endless river spread out. Les lie's Weekly. A $S DILI. NOW WORTH S2rflO. L. C.
