lay Its head, but It goes Ha way re
joicing; Just the same, and Is ever on
the alert for a needy sufferer whom It
may relieve.
Chauncey Depew Is a typical
parasite. All his days he has
fared sumptuously on the fruit
of other men's Industry, but he
never has done a useful act or
originated a useful Idea. His
ability Is somewhat above medi
ocrity, his voice and person
were pleasing In their prime and
he had a way of uttering vapid
platitudes which was singularly
adapted to tickle the ears of
rich diners whose wits were be
fuddled with champagne. Mas
ter of all the arts of the cour
tier, he exercised them with
consummate skill upon the
reigning millionaires In New
York and became the star fa
vorite In their carnival of cor
ruption. Portland Oregonian.
CANNERY X)R FREEWATER.
The East Oregonian hopes to see a
fruit cannery established at Freewa
ter. An effort Is now being made In
this direction and the Umatilla Coun
ty Development league, Pendleton
Commercial association and all other
agencies Interested In the development
f the oounty should lend their aid
In Interesting capital In this project.
Hundreds of thousands of pounds
of fruit are now produced annually
In the Freewater district and that
which is not hurried Into the market
at the highest tide must be sold at re
duced prices and often "goes beg
ging" toward the latter end of the
season,
A cannery at Freewater would af
ford a ready borne market at all times
for all grade of fruit grown In that
tcinity and would encourage the ex
tension of the fruit growing industry
In that excellent district. Walla
Walla has leaned long enough upon
the Freewater and Milton districts.
These towns should get credit for
thier fine fruits, and the East Ore
gonian hopes to see an Independent
market established In which all
grades of fruit will command the best
price at all times. This paper Invites
capital to Investigate the subject.
AFRAID OF THE LIGHT.
Mayor Lane of Portland, has adopt
ed Mayor Tom Johnson's method of
"raiding" objectionable houses. In
stead of rushing into those places
and seizing those discovered there,
he has stationed a policeman at the
entrance. This policeman Is on duty
at all times and takes notes of those
who patronize the places.
Dives cannot bear publicity, and
patrons of such places are afraid of
the light, and so the objectionable
Joint is thus put out of business
through lack of patronage. The hab
itues slink away and refuse to pass
mr.J:r f.-.; ;u:v:"r.;r.:e of t'.ic police
man, and "prominent" citizens who
were formerly frequenters ' of the
places are found skipping in and out
of dark alleys in thai jocality no
more.
Light will raid Joints more success
fully than policemen. Place them
under surveillance and make a rec
ord of the habitues and they will soon
.go out of business. They cannot stand
psblicity. They cannot thrive in day
light nor under the eye of the watch
ful police.
HELPING THE NEEDY,
Within the past four months in
this city 125 men, women and chll
dren have been converted from their
ways of wickedness to lives of sane
Christianity through the work of the
Salvation Army under Captain J,
Holder.
People say Salvation Army con
verts "don't Btick." No matter if all
do not stick, they are better for that
moment of conversion. They are bet
ter for having experienced the thrill
of the human touch which told them
that they were members of the family
of humanity.
No matter If they slipped back to
their old ways next day, they can
never be as bad as before, for they
have tasted of the spiritual, felt the
touch of a kindly hand and hold sa
credly In their memories the imprint
of the wide fraternity of the world
The Salvation Army gets down
among the needy. Its religion is as
much a religion of secret deedB of
charity as of creeds. The organiza
tion Is scoffed at, abused, condemned
by the thoughtless world, but its rec
ords and secret annals will show
more genuine charity, more succor
for those in actual need, more touches
of sympathy than perhaps any other
like organization In the world.
It often has no place whereon to
. 1.EAHX TO GROW.
Do you grow In mind and soul
Aa the changing seasons roll?
Do you reach, In master might,
As a tree, toward the light?
Are you one responsive string
In God's minstrels)- of spring?
Are'nt you better, don't you grow,
Don't the war mblood warmer glow,
As a kinship most divine
Links you to earth's royal line?
Lives, like wheels, must move or
rust
Souls must grow or be as dust;
inds must strive to higher planes.
Or be slaves In servile chains!
Nature never rests nor shirks,
Every wheel and spindle works
Every throbbing thing of life
Stands, a fighter in the strife.
Looking up into God's eyes
Beaming softly from the skies
Do you feel no thrill of power
Flash through brain and hand that
hour?
As you feel his pulses beat n.
n the clods beneath your feet,
Leaps no daring to your heart?
Know you not your kingly part?
Bert Huffman.
INDORSE ROOSEVELT.
The East Oregonian believes that
the democrats of Oregon assembled
In Portland today will do the most
graceful and commendable thing that
could mark their proceedings if they
heartily commend President Roose
velt In his fight on official graft and
against the trusts.
Is not the program being carried
out by this fearless president demo
cratic to the backbone? Is not his
fight on the trusts one of the princi
pal demands of the democratic party?
Is not his fearless campaign on pub
lic grafting one of the cardinal doc
trines of democracy?
Then why not publicly and cordial
ly Indorse Roosevelt? If right is ac
complished, no matter through whom,
Is not the aim of pure politics con
summated? 'And does not President
Roosevelt deserve the commendation
of democrats more keenly since he
nltlated his reforms while his own
party was In the heyday of Its power,
with no probability of being unseated
or hindered in its course, in the Im
mediate future?
Roosevelt Is an American, not a re
publican, except so far as republican'
ism goes with Americanism. All par
ties who love cleanliness and fearless
ness can and should publicly Indorse
him and thus encourage him and his
successors in cleansing the govern'
ment of grafters.
Mexico hns 59 lakes and great la
goons.
Mexico has a coast line of over 6n00
miles.
Mexico has vast deposits of onyx
and marble.
Slavery was fully abolished In Mex
ico In 1837.
Coahulla conl Is exported ' to the
nlted States.
The army of Mexico comprises
about 40,000 men.
The area of Mexico Is about 760,-
000 n.uare miles.
The "valley" of Mexico Is 7500 feet
nbove the sea level.
Mexico Is about 10 times larger
than Great Britain.
There are only 463 square miles in
the federal district.
Cotton factories in Mexico employ
over 25,000 people.
The rainy season generally lasts
from May to September.
The traveler in Mexico Is seldom
out of sight of mountains.
There are probably 300.000 men
employed In the mines of Mexico.
Mexico Is the richest mineral coun
try in the world, not excepting Peru.
The largest state Is Chihuahua,
Ith an area of nearly 90.000 square

plant life as Mexl"0. Modern Mexi

The Pacific Monthly for March is
even better than the February num
ber, which was one of the best maga
zlnes ever issued on the Pacific coast.
The East Oregonian rejoices to see
the western magazine grow. It is the
mirror of western thought and senti
ment and offers a field for the ex
ploitation of western romance and
fiction. The west Is rich in lore,
versatile in genius and abounding In
subjects of fascinating interest, all of
which will gradually find expression
through the western magazine, If it is
Justly patronized by western people
and kept on the upward march.
Tha liquor Influence In Oregon is
directing the fight against the equa
suffrage movement. The saloon fears
the mother. It has wronged her lm
measurably, undone her work, wreck
ed her hopes and prostituted her sons
and may well tremble to think of the
consequences when she is given the
political power which is Justly hers.
The Jingle of corruption funds fur
nlshed by the liquor Interests will in
spire many an anti-suffrage editorial
In the partisan press this season,
Just keep your ears open and listen,
Tou can locate whiskey money by the
sound, every time.
An Accusing Epitaph.
The following record of family his
tory Is found on a tombstone in
Merringten, England, church yard:
" 'Mrs. Jane Wlnsmore, born 1794
died 1851.
Poisoned by the doctor, neglected by
the nurse.
The brother robbed the widow, which
made the matter worse.' "

that the superiority of our blank
books, stationery and office essentials
makes itself manifest, as they will to
every practical bookkeeper. The
quality of our goods Is of the highest,
and as they cost no more than In

why It will pay you to patronize us.

condition was locked In another cell.
The cell containing his clothes was
also locked. The apartment In which
he was left was the one which had
been occupied 10 months by Oulteau,
the assassin.
The warden makes the following
official statement: "Mr. Houdlnl
about two minutes managed to es
cape from that cell, and then broke
Into the cell in which his clothing
was locked up. He then proceeded to
release from their cells all the pris

was positively no chance for any col

accomplished all of the above men

all his clothing, in 21 minutes."
How was It done? That is pre

know, for the condition of the test
was that the expert should be left
