It was the knowUdge of this fact that caused the Increased activity In army and navy circles within the past year or two and to the same more than any thing else can be attributed the long cruise of the Atlantic fleet. Hut recently attention ha.s been call t d to another bad feature In connec tion with i"ncle Sam's possessions In the orient. It Is the ill-effect which di:i;s i Tin-: pukniokxcy. THE DAY or ,11'IKiMEXT, With the calling of a grand Jury this morning commences one of the most important court sessions ever held in the county. It is the opening or the first term of court since the law ,the tropic sun of Luzon has upon the j moral fibre of the fighting men and , I citizens who are sent to the Islands upon various duties. "Ship mo somewhere east of Suez Where the best is like the worst. Where three 'alnt no Ten Command ments, And a man can rale a thirst." These lines were written by Kipling iii reference to India. Hut they apply as well to the Philippines, If the views o. returning soldiers nuy he taken at their full value. More than one American home has. bten rudely shattered because the moral code In Manila Is not equal to that in the states. Within recent ytars a number of army officers on duty In the Philippines have lost their shoulder-straps because their conduct was not up to the standard which the I'nited States wisely sets for those who wear the Insignia of rank. Then, too, trouble has often arisen at horn because the marital ties did not hold sufficiently strong when the husband was across the world. An Instance of this kind was brought to light when lebs Is dangerous. It is Instinct that makes one half of the world bate him; but don't, says Lincoln Stoffens In the October Everybody's. He loves mankind too much to he hurt of men; and that's the power In him; and that's the danger. The trouble, with Debs is that he puts the happiness of tile lace above everything else; busi ness, prosperity, property. Keinark UiZ this to him, I said lightly that he was, therefore, unfit to be president. "Yc," he answered seriously, "I am not fitted either by temperament or by taste for the office, utd if there were any chance of my eleclioti wouldn't run. The party wouldn't let me. We socialists don't consider In dividuals, you know; only the good of all. Hut we aren't playing; to win; not it. We want a majority of so cialists, not of votes. There would be no use getting Into power with a peo ple th.1t did not understand; with a lot of office-holders undisciplined by I service in the party; unpurged, by. personal sacrifice, of the selfish spir it of 'the present system. We shall bej a minority party first, and the coop erative commonwealth can come only when the people know enough to want to work together, and when, by .corking together to win, they have' developed a common sense of com mon service, ami a drllled-lti capacity for mutual living and cooperative la bor. I am running for president to serve a very humble purpose: to teach social consclousiies and to nsk men to sacrifice the present for the future, to 'throw away their votes' to mark the rising tide of protest and build un a party that will represent them. When socialism is on the verge of success the party will nominate an able executive and a clear-headed ad ministrator; not Debs." rSJ TM X'v 'jX N.-7r,v- pjso tsjL &$6 - SCROFULA Swollen glands about tlie neck, wen!; i-ycs, .ile, waxy complexions, running sores and ulcers, skin disease;;, and general poor health, nrc the usual ways in which Scrofula is manifested. The disease being deeply intrenched in'the Mood often attacks the bones, resulting in White Swelling, or hip disease, and the scrofulous and tubercular matter so thoroughly destroys the healthful properties of the blood that Scrofula sometimes terminates in consumption, an incurable disease. The entire circulation being contaminated, the only way to cure the limbic is to thoroughly purify the blood and restore the circulation to a strong, healthy state. S. S.

XHE SWIFT SPECI7.TC C.r.. ATw.M'A. CA was passed which leaves the indicting I Captain Halns. fresh from the islands, rmwer entlrelv with Brand luries. Then shot C. H. Annis in New York and or. top of this comes the multitude of liquor selling cases, upon the proper handling of which much depends. As to the particular cases to be brought before the grand jury fh? Fast Oregonian has nothing to . They are now with the grand ju: and the court. But In a general way this pape r re-juice--, as ail good citizens must re Joke, at the turn affairs have taken. The prosecutions will be a welcome thing for the community. Toe prohi bition law was adopted by the people of Umatilla county with deliberation and forethought. It was adopted be cause the people thought It would be a good thing and the majority In fa vor of the law was overwhelming. By flagrantly breaking the law as tney have done the ex-saloon men have shown an utter disregard for the wishes of the people. When the votes were counted last June and it was found that prohibi ten had carried. District Atorney Phelps immediately announced that the statute would be enforced. Since that time other warnings have been given. The East Oregonian itself has. frequently told the ex-saloon men that i they were following a course that meant deep trouble for themselves. T'.ut the warnings were all unheed ed and with practically op,-n defiance those men continued to violate the law dally, if not hourly. They now f.nd th'mselvf-s in the toils with pros prrts f receiving much harder pun i'hme.it thnn they desire. Hut the fi-uir is thelr's. thereby disgraced the army and made himself a murderer. So bad has been the moral effect or the Philippines upon those who go ' re -hat In the minds of some who '; v made the subject a study the ' i. ?.'.- are a real menace to the country In other than a military sense. mi: pi:i:rLExix; it.ohi.km. HELP THE MOVEMENT. There is not a single movement in which the people of I ndleton could unite tliat would be more for the good oj tiit . j ., I, than the revival of the C'cmni, ri.ial association. The East Oregoijian In glad trmt President Ai cxand'T has decider) to start a reor ganization. Everybody knows that the present tiub is not wiiat It Miould be. Hut i. can be made into th- right kind of an ciganization. Why not do it? When a siraiig.-r i.- being entertain ed In a city, in the west at least, he H Invariably taktn l i : ir- i.ainerclal club. In a way It U IV town';- living room and the quarters should be fit ted up in keeping with the commer cial importance of the place. The motto should be the good of the town and the secretary should be n live, capable man, filled with In formation concerning the resources and opportunities of the country. II" should have an office properly equlp-r-ed to handle correspondence, and he A struggle with the social evil un der unusual conditions is In progress in Des Moines, says the Oregon Jour nal. It will interest Portland and other cities. Des Moines Is governed by a commission with concentrated power and responsibility. The plan is to offer the scarlet women oppor tunity to reform, and such as do not accept are to be driven out. Em ployment will be afforded, and moral support and encouragement be heli! out to those attempting better lives. The ultimate purpose is to absolutely rid the city of the red light district. The problem is one of the most dif ficult with which society has to con tend. Its solution by social settle ments for the outcasts has been at tempted In several of the larger cities, hut never with even moderate suc cess. The complexities that arise by reason of the peculiar phases of the problem nre manifold and discourag ing. The redeemed women, no mat ter how sincere In their reform, never cease to be frowned upon by members or their own sex It Is notorious that of all society, woman is the most ex acting and least charitable to woman, and yet in these social settlements for the reclaimed, it Is the support of good women that is most essential. If Des Moines solves the problem, Ir will be an object lesson for small r.ltie.s, aid will be copied. It can hardly be a guide for the great cities where the conditions for dealing with the melancholy problem seems almost h opeless. THE HO AD TO MAXDVLAY.

If there Is a single reason under the hlning sun why the referendum should be Invoked for the Interurban franchise, It has not yet been brought t'i light. When people, wherever they may be from, come to Pendleton with a proposition that means the doubling of the city's population and the cutting In half of electricity charges, they should be given a wel come hand and not a kick. The East Oregonian does not believe that any responsible people really favor invok ing the referendum. Put If they do they should take a long, aerious sec ond thought before they do anything. Warm language is sometimes used in demonstrating cop facta. Culm's Oriinsre Crop. Consul Max J. Itaehr, of Clenfuegos, reports that 500,000 crates is a con servative estimate of this year's Cu ban orange crop which will be the largest In the history of the Island. I'ntil a few years ago thousands of (rates of oranges were brought to Cuba from Florida and California every year, but for the ia.'t three sea sons these shipments have become less, and will possibly cease entirely within another year. Orange cultiva tion on a scientific scale did not begin In Cuba until about eight or nine years ago, and may be considered In its Infancy, but Is progressing rapidly, and even at this early stage Is now In position to supply the local markets. The orange business on the Island Is controlled almost entirely ry Americans. The gentleman Is the man who Is master of himself, who respects him self, and makes others respect him. The essence of a gentleman Is eternal self-rule. It Implies a character which possesses Itself, a self-controlling force, a liberty which affirms and regulates Itself according to the true dignity.
