Baltimore News, YOUNG MEN AND PARTIES. The Portland Oregonlan. desperate at the growth of the independent po litical spirit in Oregon, makes a pas sionate plea to young voters to stand pat for a party, to be a stayer, no matter what program is put up for your Indorsement. In other words, the Oregonlan com mands young Americans to stand up and be counted by the bosses; It wants to. know that you can be relied upon for whatever program Mle oosses fix; you are so many sheep in a pasture, counted, tagged and branded and can be counted out to this or that candi date with a fixed certainty, if you are "needed." . That la what partisan enthusiasm leads to. That Is why ward heelers and precinct bosses are maintained. They count you as though you were cattle; they send in your names to "headquarters" marked as so many purchased animals, ready for any service. Every ward and precinct is polled and the young republicans and dem ocrats are tagged with the partisan tag; you are registered according to your enthusiasm, not according to Jjour Intelligence. You are simply a part of somebody's machine. Any Independence on your part Is treach ery. Young men of Oregon are urged to break away from these partisan bonds, to be American citizens, think for yourselves, be men and not count ed cattle wearing an owner's brand. Independence is your choicest bless ing, your richest heritage In a free government, and all the "undesira ble citizens" which the Oregonlan cries out against in high and low life, In American politics, have been creat ed, fattened, glutted and made crim inals by the unquestioned support of young men who wore, the party tag, who swallowed any program with out a thought as to their own intel ligence or rights. "Undesirable citizens" in politics have been made such by the fact' that they could, and did, count out voters like cattle, in precincts, counties, state and nation. ": Get away from the party corral. Refuse to wear the party tag. Be a member of a party as long as the party recognizes your individual worth and intelligence. When the party questions your liberty and In telligence, it wants to use you for some selfish a'm. Don't wear the tag, unless you can throw It off at will. ANTI-TRUST LAW IN OREGON. The proposition of the Oregon Fed eration of Labor to enact an anti trust law through the initiative, will meet with the most hearty approval of the masses of the people of the state. It is too slow and unsatisfactory to prosecute local trusts through the federal courts. There should be a state law by which every unlawful organization could be hustled into the nearest circuit court and tried out be fore a Jury of people familiar with Its actions. There are unlawful organizations in the state, and their members are found operating In every community in the state. It Is Just as unlawful and wrong to organize and operate a little neighborhood trust as It is to conduct a criminal national organiza tion. There should be a law which wlU reach and punish severely every or ganization, whether among butchers, hardware men, grocers, furniture dealers,' undertakers, fuel dealers, newspapers, draymen or other com mon line of Industry, where that or ganization Is maintained to restrict trade, raise prices, stifle opposition or unlawfully oppress patrons. The cost of living Is high enough at best, without unlawful combinations among business men to advance prices without Just and sufficient cause, as has been done by the saw mill firms of the northwest and other trusts which deserve a taste of the federal courts. The people of Oregon should initi ate a strong, practical, rigid anti trust law, with teeth In It and claws long enough to be felt by guilty parties. And It should not be so full of technicalities and loopholes as to give every member of a criminal com bination an opportunity to escape, se cure Immunity or otherwise shirk his responsibility. People in the country districts of Oregon are oppressed beyond endur ance by the Illegal combinations which graft them unjustly. Nothing goes Into their homes that has not paid tribute to a criminal trust and the time has come when forbearance cannot be worn as a shining virtue. When the anti-trust law petition is circulated, sign' it and make your candidate for the legislature promise to keep the law Inviolate. A GENTLE CORRECTION. The East Oregonlan Is not concern ed in the self-praise of other papers, If no misstatements are made, but the Tribune of this city makes such a bold and extravagant statement about Itself-that It cannot go uncor rected. The Sunday Morning Tribune said that it presented its "thousands" of readers with the "first two-color pa per ever printed in Oregon, outside of Portland." Why, dear fellow, the North Pow der News, the Haines Record, the Union Scout, the Joseph Herald, and every country paper In eastern Ore gon has been using the same colored supplement for years, that the Tri bune used Sunday morning. The same old eagle, same old arrows, same old sunrise, same old flag, same old "Uncle Sam." Any paper can buy these Fourth of July pages. They are printed in St. Louis, for the trade, Just as rag dolls are made for Christ mas. It is a St. Louis product. The people should not be so wickedly de ceived. And as to local ads printed in two colors, why, the Baker City Democrat, the La Grande Observer, the Salem Statesman and Jburnal and the East Oregonlan have printed these Fourth of July two-color pages for ' years, some of us before the Tribune started its daily. The Tribune makes a misstatement when It says "the first In Oregon out side of Portland." It may be the first for the Tribune, but it should have said so. This is an old, old field being work ed over by a new man on the Tribune, He perhaps thinks that something new happened when he came to Pen dleton, but Pendleton readers have been accustomed to metropolitan ways for many, many years. Editor Qeer Is not responsible for the statement made. He has lived in Oregon all his life and knows better. The Tribune Is moving along, but It must play fair or be called down when it is necessary. It Is one of the bitter rewards of the newspaper business, to have peo ple complain when anything Is pub lished which reflects upon them or their business, although it may not refer to them, while the same people will go on reading complimentary and helpful things about themselves or their business for months and years without giving any sign of their ap preciation. They are able to dis cover two lines If lt Is harmful, but they never see a column if it helps them. About" the only way In which a newspaper can learn If Its columns are read, at times, so ungrateful Is the public, Is by firing a broadside shot to see who will make the first' objection. If It strikes somebody's schemes or plans, you will always hear from it, while the same people may have been reading complimen tary things for a year without giving any sign of their appreciation.

Thoy are neither white nor small, And you, I knew, would scarcely think That they were fair at all. I've looked on hands whose form and hue A sculptor's dream might be; Yet are these uged, wrinkled hands More beautiful to me. Such beautiful, beautiful hands! Though heart were weary and sad, Those patient hands kept tolling on, That children might be glad. I almost weep, as looking back ' To childhood's distant day, I think how these hands rested not While mine were at their play. . Such beautiful, beautiful hands! They're growing feeble now, For time and pain have left their work On hand and heart and brow. Alas! alas! the wearing time. And the sad, sad day to me When 'neath the daisies, out of sight, Those folded hands will be. Dut oh, beyond this shadowy damp, Where all Is bright and fair, I know full well these dear old hands Will palms of victory bear. Where crystal stretms thro' endless years Flow over golden sands, ni when the old grow young again I'll clasp my mother's hands. Anonymous. THE LANDS OF EVENING. Down to the lands of evening, where the little shadows fall. Down tothe lands of evening where the bells of sunset call. Down to the lands of evening from the workhouse of the day, Oh. Lovely arc the roses scattered along the way! . i Down to the lands of evening, all so sweet, so still. The dew upon the meadows and the blue upon the hill;, Down to lands of evening with a love song In the breast, And little rosy songsters waiting In the sweet home nest! Down to the lands of evening from the roaring traffic loom. Dreaming through the buttercups and dancing through the gloom: Down to lands of evening from the half forgotten strife, To the little sweetheart-mother and the bloom of baby life! Baltimore Sun. REPORTERS "HAVE A CILVNCE." General Booth, the venerable head of the Salvation Army, was talking to a New York reporter. "Are you saved?" he asked sudden ly. The young man flushed, stammer ed and hesitated. "Well," said the general, "do not despair. There Is a chance even for New York reporters." Then, discussing prayer. General Booth told a story, a story with a moral. "There was a young clergyman, ap pointed to a small country town," he began, "and a short time after his ar rival a horsey-looking man In leggings stopped him on the street one day, bowed respectfully, and said In a tremulous voice: " 'If you please, sir, would you mind, next Sabbath, offering up a bit of a prayer for Mllly Dean?" "The minister, of course, assented. The man, whose look was worried and haggard, took leave gratefully. And on the next and two following Sun days Mllly Dean was prayed for from the pulpit. "Then, one afternoon, the man In lcBirlnes met the minister again. 'Thank you for them prayers, sir,' he said, 'but you needn't pray no more for Mllly Dean.' " 'Why,' said the other, shocked, 'Is she dead?" " 'Dad,' said the man in leggings. 'No. She's Just won the Blue Ribbon handicap by a length and a half." " THE OPENING OF THIBET. Now that trade, although on a small scale, is passing freely between Calcutta and Lhasa, the but recently mysterious city of Thibet, It is re ported that the people of Thibet ex hlhlt nacrprness to know more of the outside world. The outside world was long curious about them, and now tho reverse occurs. But the TMhotnna will not encounter the ob stacles that we did to the gratifica tion of their curiosity, a pass enn tact hlch must he traversed In reaching Thibet from India, but the route is open all the year around, and the trip can be made without much difficulty by those who are ac customed to high altitudes. Thibet contains borax, niter, rock salt, Iron, silver, copper, gold, turquoise and lapls-lazull, besides musk and furs. A railroad over the Himalayas Into Thibet Is now suggested.

Henry Holt, publisher and author, finds by actual court that 6 per cent of the letters used In English compo sition are superfluous, says the Lin coln Journal. The value of the printer products of the United States, ; according to census reports, is about j $353,000,000 a year. The 6 per cent waste from superfluous letters would be approximately $17,000,000 a year. Before this natter was printed It had to be written, and basing his es timate on statistics, the 6 per cent waste in writing superfluous letters costs annually enough to raise the to tal waste to 26,000,000. Taking Into account the wabte In wear and tear and manufacture of typewriters, writ ing Ink, the extra cost of signs, labels and so forth, Mr. Holt raises the an nual watte to 132,000,000. Figuring in the writing of letters, with Its 6 per cent waste of paper, ink and stenographer's time, likewise the waste of time In. handwriting let ters, he Increases the waste to $60, 000,000. Adding the loss of a year and a half in the life of each child required in mastering a system of lawless spelling, adding the extra cost of teaching, books and school houses, omitting waste of eyeBlght and brains, he brings the loss to $60, 000,000. FREAK HOBO IS "BALTIMORE." "Baltimore," a hobo who Is known all over this and European countries as "A No. 1," drifted Into the office of President Murray, of the Balti more & Ohio railroad last night to file a complaint about the rods and cups furnished by the line, says the Balti more American. Mr. Murray had gone for the day, but the men In charge gave the tramp a respectful hearing, for this "Weary Willie" Is something of a king In hie profession. No one knows his real name.

Most interesting of all Is a tiny box of poison with which to kill himself If fatally Injured In a wreck. He has been to Europe seven times, once to Alaska and has made numer ous Journeys to Mexico and South America, and long transcontinental tours, always beating his way. He demands larger and softer rods under the cars and cleaner cups at the drinking fountains. He has been tramping since 1883, and In that time has covered by actu al compilation of records, which he has kept, nearly 500,000 miles. Of that number all but about 600 have been traveled on the trucks of the railroad trains. He Is known by many high railroad officials and cash which they have given him helps to keep him out of the lockups when the detectives get hold of him. He has spent for traveling expenses In the last 28 years Just 87.66.
