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.

WHO IS SOKKY NOW?
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.
