Rubv Baughman In Sunset. LAW VXD ATLANTIC CITY. The whole country has taken no tice of the controversy that arose In New Jersey when Governor Fort de manded that the saloonkeepers of At lantic City observe the law. The fol lowing is the New York World's com ment upon the affair: Atlantic City's moral and legal problems are similar to those of other popular resorts, as Coney Island. Saratoga and Long Branch. Are the same moral code and sumptuary leg islation to be applied to a recreation and vacation place as to a home and business community? Are laws to be enforced only in the communities Which desire enforcement and need them least? Governor. Fort was confronted with the refusal of the Atlantic City authorities to enforce the law. Three grand Jurors were engaged every Sunday in violating the liquor law. Other grand jurors violated other laws. They naturally refused to in dict themselves or their fellow-offenders. The mayor, the sheriff and the chief of police refused to act. On Coney Island the law is violat ed but not defiled. To the American v'ew this is a great distinction. If the mayor and police commissioner of New York were openly to announce their refusal to enforce the laws asalnst gambling and Sunday liquor selling nn Coney Island the cases would be parallel. In New York the governor could remove them. He could appoint a new sheriff, direct the calling of a special grand Jury and send an up-state judge to con duct court. In New Jersey the gov ernor ha? not the power of removal, but Governor Fort's threat to call a special M-.-sion of the legislature and send militia to enforce the law has made Atlantic City's officials brv-k down. Th.-re is more Sunday liquor sell it. e, more gambling and more im morality in New York than in At lantic City. Yet on the records of the criminal courts here appear Just about as many convictions and im prisonments for such offenses as on the court records of Oc-an County, New Jersey. Aft-T all. Is open defiance so much worse than hypocritical pretense of obedience ? KIKOPATKIN. Newspaper readers who followed the course of the Japanese war were not as a rule very favorably Impress ed with the military prowess of Gen eral Kuropatkln. says th" Oregon!.. His name b'-came, in truth, a sort of byword In this country, signifying a fii rson who abounded " greatly In promise and very little In perform ance. Every day he announced some t.ew project for annihilating the Jap anese armies, and every night h abandoned it. Later events hav shown that this conception of Gen eral Kumpatkin was probably mis taken. The fact seems to have been that he was really saving the Russian forces from imminent destruction un der terrible difficulties, and' that his apparently boastful disposition was merely a necessary ruse of war. A bold front sometimes has to take the ,Ure of discipline and equipment. It was singularly unfortunate for Gener- a; Kuropatkln that ho should havo been In command at the close of the wsr, for It seemed to cast upon him this responsibility for calamities whL'h be- had long foreseen and which he bad warned the cz.ir would surely follow unless Itussia had kept faith with Japan by evacuating Manchuria and turning Tort Arthur over to China as she was required to do by Ireaty. General Kuropatkln has now writ t n a book in which ho reveals the stcret history of the events leading up to the war with Japan. Of course it cannot be published in Russia, for It states many facts which are ty no means creditable to the czar and hi relations; but In some way which has not been revealed to the public, a copy of Kuropatkln's memoirs has come into the possession of Georgj Kennan. Mr. Kennan has probably I'.one more than any other American to acquaint the people of this country with the true current history of Rus sia. He has traveled widely In the empire, visited the prisons, the houses of the peasantry and the palaces of the nobles from St. Petersburg to the extremity of Siberia, and what ho iMseovered, no matter how horrible It might be, he narrated In lively style. He Is one of the few Ameri cans who have mastered the Russian language, and Is therefore competent to translate Kuropatkln's memoirs fot publication. The work Is to appear In serial form In MeClure's magazine, the first installment being in the September number. It Is brief, but nevertheless it is long enough to prove that the war with Japan was brousiht on by systematic autocracy. The evacua. tion of Manchuria was persistently evaded. Port Arthur was not turned over to the Pekin government as had been agreed when it was wrested from Japan at the close of her war with China. Far from that, It was rapidly transformed Into a fortified position of enormous strength, while opposite to It the, commercial port of Dalny was built by the Russians with the evident Intent of permanent occu pation. All this naturally irritated Japan. But the Immediate occasion for the outbreak of hostilities was th operations of one Bezobrazoff In Corea and on the Yalu river. This singular personage belongs In that class of obscure and Insignificant in dividuals who, by gaining mysterious influence over sovereigns have chang ed the history of the world. In some way he Interested the Czar Nicholas In his timber operations on the Yalu river and persuaded him to Invest millions of money in the business. Other members of the royal family were drawn Into the scheme until apparently almost every person neat the czar had invested money under L'ezobrazoff's Influence. He must have been a man of extraordinary parts, expert In flattery and a master of the arts of senile persuasiveness. At any rate his command of the czar's money and confidence made him vir tual ruler of the Russian dominion in eastern Asia. He was able to ap point and dismiss viceroys at will, obtained the dispatch of soldiers into Corea, contrary to treaty with Japan, and through his known intimacy with the czar, terrorized every offlciJ. in the province Some of them pre tended to agree with KuropitW.i In his policy of honest deal'iv,' with Japan and frankness with t'.:; czar, but they deceived him and played In to Bezobiazoff s hands. Kuropatkln's repeated nv.iiiings were disregarded. The Japanese were treated with con tempt and the war which he had pre dicted finally broke out. The subse ouent Installments of the memoirs will show how It was corductec! on the Russian side. FOR HAY FEVER. Pt-ru-na u Spntt-limes Ustii With Ex cclUnt Results. A CASE IN POINT. MISS MAYtaC t. SWITH. Js-;: V M1S3MAYME K. SMITH, 411 Kaat Mouti(lSt.,ColumbiH,OhIo,writo8 "Have used l'uruna for catarrh atid hay fever.

As Pendleton's army of children gather for the opening of :hoo wh can regret that the town Is dry? People who Mould otherwise prefer toe old conditions cannot but appre. date the change when toy consider the boys and girls. Pendleton Is a better school town because the county went for prohibi tion. In former years people who wished to move here that their child ren might have the advantages of th schools often felt uneasy regarding the moral conditions of the town. The sight of the 25 saloons with the attendant drunks and loafers filled many a mother's heart with distrust lest her boy might be led astray. Parents may now send their boyj to Pendleton high school with more confidence In their security. In more ways than one the atmosphere is i now better for growing young man hood and it Is a fine thing that such Is the case. It Is better for the town to lose some saloonmen and soaks if thereby the paths of the young ar m nn safer. This would be true even If the reform meant the loss of some business for Coleridge wrote truth fully when he said: "111 fares the land, to hastening Ills a prey Where wealth accumulates and men decay." At the same time the American people are studying the problem of conserving the natural reources of the country it might be well to ex rend some energy trying to devise ways and means by which other property Interests might be saved from destruction, says an exchange. To let a forest be destroyed by fire Is wasteful but not more so than to let those same forests burn after they have been sawed to lumber and built into houses. Men of science should be able to discover a practical fire proofing process or invent successful fire-extinguishing appliances within the means of ordinary property owners. Morrow county is showing the right spirit towards the fair this year. The coutity court has appropriated $250 to establish an exhibit and the county v III be better represented than in the past. This is only right because It is Morrow county's fair as well as Umatilla's and the commissioners have always been eager In seeing that the neighboring county shared In the benefits. Pendleton's eggs are not all In on basket. Aside from the Walla Walla and L'matllla rivers it has the John Day as a source of power. A Bold Step.
