TILE OCTOPUS AND THE COURTS.
The Standard Oil company has at
last found a United States court which
it can handle, It would seem. Tho
federal court of appeals of Chicago,
which yesterday set aside the verdict
of Judge Landis lif the Standard re
bating cases, and remitted the $29,
000,000 fine Imposed by Judge Landis
upon the oil octopus, has shattered
the faith of the people in the sta
bility of the courts.
Judge Landis is an able Judge. He
knows the law as well as any of the
Judges in the court of appeals, and
he found that the Standard Oil com
pany was guilty, guilty as a dog and
fined it accordingly. The evidence
that the octopus had been rebating
was conclusive. The crime was appar
ent. The fine was only In keeping with
tbe crime.
Now comes this "great" court of
appeals, one of the highest tribunals
In the land, and sets aside the verdict,
remits the fine and whitewashes this
infernal corporation which Is smoth
ering honest Industry to death In
every part of the United States by its
grossly criminal practices.
That the Judicial system of the
United States Is a pitiable farce, is
more and more apparent every day.
Anarchy among the rich and power
ful will increase the sentiment of an
archy among the common people.
When the people we justice thwarted
ar.d just verdicts set aside In the cases
of billion-dollar corporations, it low
ers their respect-for courts and codes
and poisons their minds with the de
sire for revenge.
The court of appeals says that the
Standard Oil corporation was not
on trial In Judge Landis' court, that
he did not have evidence to show that
it was. guilty and that the whole trial
and fine of the octopus by Landis was
a miscarriage of law.
The people do not believe this rot.
They' believe that Judge Landis Is
honest, capable and fearless and that
the court of appeals Is a truckling
which is ready to prostitute Itself be
fore wealth on the slightest techni
cally. If It is Impossible to convict a crim
inal corporation, then the people will
naturally gay that revolution Is the
only cure for existing evils. The
courts offer no redress and are the
tools of the rich.
A TIP TO UMATILLA.
The East Oregonlan Is anxious to
dispel the Umatilla Idea that a tract
of land varying In size from 640 to
J000 acres is necessary for the sup
port of a single family which lives In
town and sees the farm but a few
times during the year.
With this aim In view, this paper
publishes from time to time, the re
sults of Intensive farming In other
sections of the country that our peo
ple may know what magnificent re
sults are being obtained from small
tracts of land elsewhere.
John McLennan of New York state,
writes the following description of
his farm to the Rural New Yorker,
and as this same high state of culti
vation and Intensive farming may be
reached In parts of Umatilla county,
tbe article contains a direct tip to
thoughtful farmers of this part of the
state. Mr. McLennan says:
1 now maintain a herd of 4 J pure
bred Holateln cattle and six horn an
E acres, and produce not one dollar's
worth of feed except a small amount
of balanced rations used to feed some
of the cows while being officially
tested for milk and butter fat.
"Next year I propose to Increase
my herd to 50 and expect to raise
plenty to feed all. The only products
sold from the farm are milk, stock
and potatoes; of the latter I have usu
ally from 300 to 500 bushels to sell,
and I have sold 12300 worth of pure
bred stock since October 1. 1907. My
milk brings me about $100 per month,
besides feeding whole milk to every
calf born for at least six months.
"Of course this system of farming
eliminates all pasturage and requires
two, and sometimes three crops from
the same land each season. The al
falfa, of course, produces three crops
and we generally manage to get two
and sometimes three crops for soiling
purposes.
"All animals are fed In the stable
the year round, with outdoor exercise
every day, and all maneur Is drawn
and spread upon the land every day,
and It may readily be Imagined that
the land Is rapidly increasing In fer
tility." WHAT THE PEOPLE DID.
Twelve laws and constitutional
amendments enacted by the people
at the election June 1, have been In
effect since Tuesday, June 23, when
Governor Chamberlain Issued a proc
lamation declaring them to be a part
of the laws of the state.
Taking them In the order that
they were promulgated by the secre
tary of state, It will be seen that the
time for holding the general elections
will be on the first Tuesday after the
first Monday In November, Instead of
the first Monday In June.
Consequently the next general elec
tion will be held In November of 1910.
By reason of this change primary
elections for the nomination of state(
and county officers will In the future
be held In September, the primary
law fixing the time for holding the
primaries at the 45th day before any
general election.
By virtue of the same vote of the
people the University of Oregon Is
safe In its appropriation of $125,000
for 1907 and of the same amount for
each year thereafter.
It is now possible for all public
officials who are not doing their
duty under the law and custom to
be recalled by the voters who are dis
gruntled over their failure to fulfill
the oaths taken. Public Interest Is
on edge waiting to see which part of
the state the recall will strike first.
The statute Instructing the mem
bers of the legislature to vote for
that United States senatorial candi
date who receives the highest num
ber of votes at the general election
is also a law. It will not be binding
upon the -members of the legislature
elected In June.
The corrupt practice act Is now a
law and from this time on it Is Ille
gal to 'offer a cigar to prospective
voters and political supporters. In
fact. It is illegal to do anything ex
cept silently cast a ballot In the box
or at least nearly as close drawn a
condition as that.
Hereafter campaigns are to be
conducted through the secretary of
state and state printer so far as ad
vertising Is concerned. The state
printer Is to make pamphlets putting
forth the claims of the various can
didates as to why they should be
elected. The cost of pamphlets Is to
be borne by candidates who are to
pay from $50 to $100 a page for their
space.
The secretary of state will mail" the
pamphlets to the registered voters a
few days before the primaries and
another set shortly before the gen
eral election.
Grand Juries have come back to
the people of the state and the dis
trict attorney of any district Is not
empowered, to sit as a grand jury
from this time cm. All Indictments
are now to be returned by Juries and
the filing of information on the com
plaint of the district attorney Is (I
thing of the past.
Hood River county is In good
working order and is running under
the administration of a set of offi
cials appointed by the governor not
long ago.
In the Pendleton Tribune of this
morning was a clipping from the
London Globe including a verse from
the Bible, purporting to contain every
letter of the alphabet The East Or-
igonlan regrets to fce compelled to
question the eyesight, understanding
and wisdom of such papers as the
Tribune and the Globe, but this verse
has been prayerfully studied all day
today and the faltering understand
ing of the East Oregonlan fails to
discover the letter "J" anywhere In
the verse. The selection Is taken
from the 21st verse, 17th chapter of
the Book of Ezra and Is as follows:
"And I, even I, Artaxerxes, the king,
do make a decree to all the treasur
ers which are beyond the river, that
whatsoever Ezra the priest, the scrlbo
of the law of God of 'heaven, shall
tequlre of you, It shall be done speed
ily." The verso does not contain
"every letter," and therefore the quo
tation and statement are Incorrect.
BIGGEST WOOL SALE.
The largest sale of wool ever mado
In America and the largest transac
tion between a grower and purchaser
in modern times was the 2,000,000
pound transaction between Charlie
Balr, of Billings, Mont., and Sllber
man Bros., of Chicago. Mr. Bulr was
a delegate to the recent Republican
convention, and quickly accepted the
sixteen cent offer made by Chicago's
big wol house.
One million pounds of this wool re
presented Bairs own clip, and the
other million pounds the wool grown
by companies in which Mr. Bulr Is
largely Interested. It is a notable
sale In every respect It Is said that
the Bair clip Is the finest In Montana
this year.
.To transport this wool will require
100 cars with the average capacity of
20.000 pounds per car. Chicago Is
big In all things and Sllberman Bros.,
have certainly carried off the palm for
Chicago's wool market. The payment
of $320,000 for a single purchase of
wool is no small financial transaction
The "Boston Johnlcs," who have
scorned the "little provincial Chicago
wool market," will please sit up and
take notice. American Sheep Breed

HOW TO SEED ALFALFA.
There-are three sure conditions to a
successful stand and crop of alflafa.
One of them Is a preparatory crop of
cow peas, another Is a preparatory
crop of sweet clover, and the other Is1
a nurse crop of rape from a seeding
of about one pound of rape per acre
sown broadcast after the alflafa seed
ing. The latter never falls to bring
a good stand. The preparatory crops
mentioned furnish the perfect Innocu
latlon of the soil ort which a practical
ly sure seeding of alflafa Is predicted
A final condition to success Is a clean
perfectly prepared seed bed. Then
sow In July or early In August and
you may stand still and see the glory
of the Lord. American Farmer.

Library -Plans.
Architectural plans have arrived in
Baker City and this evening there
will be a meeting of the city council
to determine upon details prior to be
ginning erection of the library build
ing, says the Baker City Herald.
It Is understood that Mr. Carnegie
has arranged for the money necessary
to build the library and as soon as the
city Is ready the work will begin.
There has been much comment on
the new structure and Baker City
people take kindly, It Is thought, to
the original plans suggested. A firm
from Boise secured the contract and
they will probably be represented this
evening at the council meeting which
is called for this single purpose.
In every parade a very tall man
walks beside a very short one.
The Modesty of Women
.Naturally makes them shrink from the
indelicate questions, the obnoxious ex
aminations, and unpleasant local treat
ments, which some physicians consider
Bssentlal in the treatment of diseases of
women. Yet, If help can be had, it Is
better to submit to this ordeal than let
the disease grow and spread. The trouble
is that so often the woman undergoes all
the annoyance and shame for nothing.

BATTLE-GKOCXD.
Evil and Good and Love and Hate
And all the hosts they wrestle for
Forward and back and early and late
They wage their immemorial war;
With waste and wrath and woe pur
suing Like hard masters, greedy of toll,
Across the ancient battle-ground.
Which Is, alas! the human soul.
And sometimes, in a quick despair.
Half-welcoming the alien power,
The bright fields darken, dulls the
air,
And the old enemy takes his hour.
But oh, the Joy the Joy of the time
When Love domes back and brings

Sweet winds, a promise of grain and

Where late the storm-scarred

CONCRETE FOR BOATS.
It Is predicted that the use of con
crete in boat building will largely
take the place of iron and steel
Large boats of reinforced concrete
have been built already In Italy, and
five of these, of 120 tons and more,
are In commission In the Italian navy.
The first of these boats, a 120-ton
barge, was built In 1906, on the plans
of Mr. Gabelllnl, an' Italian who has

has been conducting experiments with
this class of material. This boat,
which was built with double bottom
and of the celular type, was submit

of Iron and with an Iron ram was di
rected against It without producing
any considerable damage. After some
time, and In consequence of the sat

ordered on account of the Italian
