A frown shuts out the light

PEOPLE MADE A MISTAKE.
That the people made a mistake In
changing the manner of filing Indict
ments, taking this power away from
district attorneys and lodging It en
tirely with grand juries, Is now ap
parent - The initiative vote on this change
was strong and showed that the
voting was done with full knowledge
of the matter, but recent develop
ments prove that they took away
from the district attorney one of hU
most useful prerogatives.
In the Instance of former saloon
men selling liquor In prohibition ter
ritory, the district attorney Is power
less to begin action at once. He must
await the action of the grand Jury,
two months hence. By that time most
of the guilty parties will have finish
ed their summer's work in prohibition
territory and will be out of the reach
of an Oregon grand Jury.
If the district attorney had power
t. file information against them and
begin action at once he could un
doubtedly secure a number of con
victions, for it Is positively known
that liquor Is being gold in prohibition
territory.
If the law enforcement league
means business It will secure the de
sired evidence now, while the work
i going on, and be prepared to pre
sent indisputable facts to the grand
Jury when it convenes in September.
It is an easy matter to secure the evi
dence now, while it will perhaps be
difficult for the district attorney to
present any tangible proofs when the
grand jury meets, unless he Is assist
ed by private citizens now.
Names, dates, places and witnesses
bearing on the Illicit sale of liquor
should be secured now and treasured
up for the delight of the grand Jury.
ROJESTVENSKY.
The blackest spot left on the es
cutcheon of Russia as a result of the
Russo-Japanese war. Is the treatment
which that miserable government has
doled out to her heroes.
General Stoessel, who held Port
Arthur against a six month's siege of
the Irrepressible Japs, was sentenced
to life imprisonment because he sur
rendered In the extremity after weeks
of hunger, suffering and untold pun
ishment at the hands of the Japs. In
"mercy" Russia commuted the Ufa
sentence to 10 years.
This week Admiral Rojestvensky,
who lost the sea fight with the Jap
anese, only after his last vessel was
sent to the bottom of the sea, and
bis own flagship battered to pieces
by the galling fire of the Japanese
gunners, died of a broken heart In
the realization of the disgrace which
his government heaped upon him
after his heroic effort to sustain the
tottering standards of Russia. ,
Russia deserves annihilation for her
treatment of her brave, soldiers.
These men were not to blame If the
Japanese were more numerous or
better equipped than the Russian
army. They did trolr part we'll. They
faced the most tremendous onslaught
of modern times. The fault was Rus
sia's If theso men were defeated.
Think of a-civilized nation con
demning a general or admiral to death
or to life Imprisonment, because the
enemy overpowered his forces
through sheer weight of numbers and
better equipment.
The nations of the world should re
fuse to deal with Russia as a civiliz
ed power, until she changes her mor
al code. She should be rated with
the Kurds, the brigands of central
Asia, until she adopts a few of the
modern customs and usages.
AX EMPIRE GIVEN AWAY.
In the last report of the land de
partment of the Union Taclflc Rail
road company, it is shown that during
the last decade, from 1898 to 1908.
that company has sold 9,125,000
acres of lands from the grants given
it by the United States government.
This land was a clear donation to
the Union Pacific. The government
simply sliced this vast empire from
the putJllc domain and handed It on
a sliver platter, as It were, to this
railroad company.
This amount of land has been sold
by the Union Pacific In the last 10
years. It sold more than that amount
previous to this decade. But taking
this 9,125,000 acres, alone, as a basis
for calculation, let us see what it
means to the country.
This tract of land divided Into 160
acre farms would mean 50,781 of
such farms. On a basis of five to the
farm, it would mean a population of
253,905. With three school children
to the farm It would mean 152,343
school children or 1523 school dis
tricts with 100 scholars each.
It would mean a territory as large
as five Umatilla counties, one-fourth
the size of the entire eastern Oregon
section.
And to think that the government
gave away this magnflcent territory
lying adjacent to the transcontinental
line of railroad. And the homeless
thousands who are now searching for
a small parcel of land, what would
this domain mean to them today,
were it available for homestead en
try 7
No wonder President Roosevelt la
trying to recover a 3,000,000 acre
land grant given to the Southern Pa
cific In, Oregon. He Is awake to the
folly of such wanton waste of the
public resources. And he will be
numbered among the national bene
factors for making a start to recover
this magnificent empire for the peo
ple. HIS WIFE OR THE KING.
Jacob Rils, the--prominent Danish
journalist, lecturer and Roosevelt
biographer who lectured in Pendleton
two years ago," called upon the king
of Denmark this week and was warm
ly welcomed. He gave the king the
greeting of President Roosevelt and
enjoyed his visit immensely.
Finally the king waxed sociable
and invited Riis to dine with him.
"I will If I may bring my wife," re
plied Riis.
The interview ended abruptly and
awkwardly. The king was unused to
this blunt American way. The invi
tation of the king had always been
considered a sacred, almost divine
recognition among the mortals in the
shadow of the throne.
But to this Americanized Dane it
was nothing compared to a man's
devotion to and respect for his wife.
Rlls cared but little for the favor of
the king. As an American citizen he
Is a king himself. And because his
wife was not Included in the king's
favor, Rlls scorned it
Every American thrills with pride
at the simple dignity which charac
terized Rlls' refusal to dine with a
king. "
The Increased school attendance In
Umatilla county, as shown by the re
port of Superintendent Frank K.
Welles, and the Increased poatofflec
receipts as shown by the monthly re
port of Pendleton postofflce, are mat
ters of pride and congratulation for
this city and county. Despite the fact
that the farming lands of the county
is "being concentrated In the hands of
a few men, the school enrollment and
school attendance of the county are
Increasing and despite the prohibition
vote the business of Pendleton post
office Is constantly Increasing. Let
us quit croaking. There are Innum
erable causes for rejoicing In Umatil
la county.
After all, the" Bryan bluster and
ominous thundering about the repub
lican anti-Injunction plank. It Is dis
covered that the democratic plank la
but a counterpart of that adopted by
the republican convention. The same
patriotic American citizens framed
both planks. Both parties are equally
Interested In the welfare of the
American citizen and the Bryan plank
Is no more vigorous in defense of the
common rights of tho masses than
the Taft plunk. So another bubble
has burst.
Where Is tho Co-operative Chris
tian Federation of Portland which
was to reclaim several thousand acres
of central Oregon land, build several
modern cities In. the desert and es
tablish several manufacturing plants?
Will the Gordon Falls textile maim
facturlng city go the same way Into
oblivion? Will Portland let all these
vast .schemes die for want of capital
with their boasted 330,000,000 In
bank deposits?
THE LOWLY MATCH, .
Did you ever think of the part the
lowly match plays In the progress of
the world? Did you ever look upon
the little' phosphorous stick as an
agent of civilization?
Everywhere throughout the world
H the ever-present match. That old
myth of savages starting fires by
rubbing' two stk-Vs together is well
nigh a lost art In these days. Take
down In Brazil for instance. Consul
General Anderson, writing from Rio,
declares that even in the almost In
accessible portions of the interior,
where the seml-clvllized people are
deprived of everything In the way of
civilized supplies, yet there are
matches, to light the Iniquitous cig
arette, or kindle the campflre.
There are. of course, some peoples
'yet unncqtiainted with the match
but they are of the lowest stratum of
civilization. Globe-trotters have
have found the match to go hand In
hand with the first evidence of civili
zation. And the world's output of
matches Is staggering In Its enormous
aggregate. Thousands and thousands
of acres of forest go down before the
axemen each year to- be manufactur
ed Into matches. 'In several countries
match making (of the wood kindling
variety) is a government monopoly;
a great many more nations reap a
goodly revenue Income each year
from taxes on their manufacture.
Just for example, Brazil's output of
matches was 202,041,400 boxes In
1907, from which the' government de
rived a revenue of 31.218.384 in taxes.
The" tax alone amounts to over 31.50
for each man, woman and child In the
country.
MCSNT BOTHER BURBAXK
Luther Burbank the horticultural
Ist, has been compelled, out of sheer
self-protection, to post the following
notices a at the entrances to his
grounds:
No one could be more ''pleased to
welcome the general public to my ex
periment grounds, but over 6000 vis
itors were received during the year
1904. All the Important experimen
tal work was delayed beyond recall,
grounds overrun with crowds from
daylight to 10 o'clock at night no
rest even on Sundays or holidays;
business destroyed, rare plants died
from want of care; attention con
stantly drawn from legitimate mat
ters; meals taken standing, sleep dis
turbed, health at, the point of destruc
tion, visitors calling at all hours with
out regard to my own convlenlenc.
each one being under the fixed and
unalterable Impression that he or she
was the one particular one who should
be admitted , -
Thi notice will now be found at
every gate:
Positively no Visitors Allowed
Warning
Any Person Entering or Trespassing
on these Grounds Will Be
Prosecuted.
The general public has no moral,
legal or other right to Invade my
grounds, home, private office or la
boratories.
CONCRETE USED AT PANAMA.
The concrete which will be re
quired to build the concrete work of
the Panama canal would be enough
to build as many houses as would
give shelter to the entire population
of a city the size of Minneapolis.
It would be large enough to build
a solid string of houses from New
York to Richmond, Va., by way of
Washington. The spill-way of the
Gatun dam will carry off 140,000
cubic feet of water a second, or more
than 60,000,000 gallons a minute. The
big water gates of the Gatun dam
will have, an aggregate of weight of
nearly 18 000 tons. The ones at the
head of the upper lock will be a sort
of steel bridge on wheels, the track
for It being of 26 feet gauge. Each
pound of water pressure on the dam
would "have to push aside 63 pounds
of earth before It could escape.
The dam will make the Gatun lake
afford deep water enough to furnish
a safe riding place for half the ship
ping of the world. All the sea-fight
ers af the oceans might gather there
as perhaps hundreds of them will at
that eventful time, some eight or 10
years hence when with Uncle Sam as
master of ceremonies, the Atlantic
and the Pacific shall have their wed
ding day.
UNFORTUNATE CHILDREN
It is stated on good authority that
100,000 children " pass through the
criminal courts of the United States
every year. That statement Is suffi
ciently startling to arouse to thought
all who are capable of thinking.
There Is a cause for this vast army
of criminal children, to say nothing of
the still vaster army of criminal adults

God In Marriage," says: "The greatest
tragedy of humanity has been the al
most universal violation of God's laws
In regard to the bringing Into being
of a human soul. ' And she quotse O.

CAUSED BY HUMORS III THE BLOOD
The skin fs provided with countless pores and glands, through
which an evaporation is going on continually, day'and night. This is
nature's method of regulating the temperature of our bodies, and pre
serving the natural appearance of the skin. These pores and glands
are counected with tiny veins and arteries through which they receive,
from the blood, the necessary nourishment and strength to preserve
their healthy condition, and enable them to perform this duty.
So long as the blood is pure and rich the skin will be free from
eruption or disease, but when the circulation becomes infected with
acids and humors its nourishing and healthful properties, are lost, and
its acrid, humor-laden condition causes irritation and inflammation of
the delicate tissues and fibres of the pores and glands, and the effect is
shown in Eczema, Acne, Tetter, Salt Rheum, or somelother distressing,
disfiguring skin disease.
These humors get into the
blood through a deranged or inactive
condition of the system. Those
members whose duty it is to collect
and expel the refuse matter of the
body fail to properly do their work,'
and this surplus or waste matter is
left in . the system to sour and fer
ment and be absorbed into the
blood. There are also certain
other humors which get into the
blood from without. The juice or
milk from poisonous plants, such
as poison oak, poison ivy, nettle
rash, etc., enters through the open
pores of the skin and takes root in
the blood. This causes a breaking
out which remains for a time and
then . disappears, but returns at
c.ertain seasons of each year.
The cause of all skin troubles can be traced to some kind of humor
in the blood. Smooth, healthy skins are only possible where the circu
lation is pure; and therefore the cure of any skin affection can only
come through a thorough cleansing of this vital fluid. Salves, washes,
lotions, etc., are valuable only for their ability to keep the skin clean,
allay the itching, and tend to reduce inflammation; they cannot correct
the trouble because they do not reach the blood.
S. S. S. cures skin diseases of every character and kind, because it
purifies the blood. It goes down into the circulation and removes the
humors that are causing the trouble, builds up the weak, acrid blood,
PURELY VEGETABLE.
every symptom passes away, the
healthful blood, and comfort is given to disease-tortured skins. .

SUN BATHS FOR HEALTH.
"If you want to keep well, take sun
hatha." In the latest health dictum.
Not all of us can carry this treatment
to the extreme of the enthusiasts,
who spend the greater part of each
day exposing their bodies to the air,
but all of us can, with a little man
agement, get more sun than we do.
If you have a sheltered yard or
back porch spend as much time as
possible on It. Wear the airiest kind
of costume. The neighbors may be
horrified,' but shut out their prying
gaze by screens.
Barefeet or sandals, which make
walking easier, may quickly be tossed
off, and a low-necked and sleeveless
nightdress or wrapper of sheer ma
