Bent bodies, hollowed bosoms

Their very mirth is horrible to

It is so Joyless! Every needle-

Where Fashion flaunts the pro-

Of ravaged lives, of souls de-

At last the clock-stroke! From

Some pleasure fierce enough to

three-cent fare is worse than confls
cation; It is real revolution. It of"
fends nil New York's iioIIoiih. Here,
Instead of securing lower fares, the
city invests most of Its capital and
guarantees a private operating com
pany's excessive profits from strap
hangers' fares for half a century
ahead."
But then if rhetoric could save the
day all would have been well long
ago. Plutocracy cares little for such
opposition so long as they can handle
the officials which they generally do
REltHT BAD SEKV1CE
A few evenings ago when the news
of the republican national convention
was eagerly nwalted the package of
East Oregonians Intended for Adams
was somehow mishandled by the pos
tal people and so the pape did not
reach its readers at the usual hour.
It brought forth vigorous protests by
telephone.'
With readers who do not receive
the paper on time because of short
comings by the postal service the East
Oregonian has much sympathy. Poor
service by postal employes works
hardship on the paper as well as up
on its readers. So complaints are
wanted when delays occur. They
should be made in writing so they
can be presented to the proper au
thorlties.
IT WAS A COMPLIMENT.
TRYING FOR THIRD PLACE?
That the democratic convention
should have rejected Bryan and nam
ed Parker as temporary chairman is
surprising. Tet It is not so astonishing
after all. The democratic conven
tion 13 attended by politicians and
politicians, no matter to which party
they belong, are reactionary. These
days they are progressive when seek
ing office and reactionary after they
have been chosen.
Furthermore the ClarK contingent
in the convention Is not progressive
at all. The Clark forces have waged
a deceptive campaign. As some one
has expressed it, Clark has been a
progressive with his fingers crossed.
He has been a progressive when
st eking votes but his alliances with
Harmon and Underwood against Wil
son have all along given the lie to
the pretense of progressiveness. So
the final swing to Parker was but a
short step.
What the outcome at Ealtimore will
be is still an open question of course.
The democratic gathering is more of
a free parliament than was the Chi
cago convention. So it may yet re
deem itself. Appearances point how
ever, to a convention dominated by
the conservative element and to the
nomination of a conservative for pres
ident, in which case we may come to
see an interesting race between the
regular republican nominee and -the
regular democratic nominee for third
place In the final contest this fall.
If this paper has brought trouble
to the Rev. Frank J. Mllnes by pub
llshlng a statement to the effect his
orthodoxy is questioned by some of
his congregation then we are extreme
ly sorry for the East Oregonian has
much respect for Mr. Milnes. He is
a scholarly, eloquent pastor and also
enjoys a good clean baseball game.
The statement about his orthodoxy
was intended as a compliment.. The
East Oregonian does not believe in
orthodoxy in politics or religion. The
only really orthodox people in the
world have been the Chinese and they
are getting over it after many cen
turies of stagnation.
Parker bitterly assailed Roosevelt
in his speech yesterday. But Parker
Is so identified with the reactionary
element his assaults are merely wa
ter on Roosevelt's wheel.
If reports concerning the Portland
road houses are at all reliable Gover
nor Wert would be justified in order
ing out Battery A for target practict
on the worst offenders.
GOOD SARCASM THOUGH.
The New York World, though a
rather conservative newspaper, does
not hold in soulful awe- the sacred
right of capital to get everything It
can from the people with the least
possible service in return. Listen to
this sarcasm:
"By the most practical tet Cleve
land has demonstrated that its street
railways can be operated at a profit
with a three-cent fare. There is even
talk of reducing the fare to two and
a half cents.
If ever there was one, thl. Is an
attack on vested rights. Before It
goes any further it deserves to be
denounced by the street-railway in
terests all over the country s confis
cation and in plain violation of the
Constitution. Xot one of the,m doubts
that five cents is the only proper fare
and that anything lower would mean
ruin for them and prove against the
public interest. On the Infallible five-cent-fare
basis some of them may
have watered their stock or Jobbed
their franchises, or done both, like the
Metropolitan, and gone Into bank
ruptcy, but mo one who respects the
sanctity of property should expect
any fare lower than five cents, be
cause without It profits for capital
are Impossible.

Its street railroads at a profit op a
If you have lost money on any of
the varied get rich quick schemes
you can get revenge by signing the
petition for the blue sky law.
Taft organs are now calling on the
faithful to jump into the bandwagon.
But the thing may prove to be a
hearse?
If the heat is due to the sun spots
then Mr. Sol would please many by
having such troubles in the winter
time.
Bryan should not have given aid
to the Clark candidacy.
A THEATRICAL CURIOSITY SHOP.
There is a little basement shop
just outside the theatrical district, in
New York, wherein Is kept for sale
old photographs of actors and actress
es, flashlight scenes from plays and
eld electrotypes. The man who runs
this shop' does a thriving business
srlllng this material, used in pro
moting publicity for the little troupes
that go out, playing the very small
towns. He buys old "cuts" at junk
prices, and sells them at five, ten and
twenty cents apiece, because in play
ing Kennebunkport, Me., or Water
Tole, Wyo., it is easy to pass off a
two column cut of Aurora Starlight,
the famous tragedienne, who ap
peared last season in "She Xever For
gets to Hate," as Dorothy de Mont
morency In "The Romance of a Coun
try Girl." In the ordinary course of
events, it costs anywhere from $100
to $150 to equip a show with electro
types, and such an expense the small
troupe manager cannot stand, but if
he can get an equipment of miscel
laneous cuts for $10 he will suffer no
serious set-back from a depletion of
his bank roll, and, by this saving, -will
be able to get his show out at loast
to the first town.

A STORY OV OREGON.
HE FEARED EXCITEMENT.
The departments In Washington
received some queer letters. Below
Is given vorbatim a letter received
lat Xovember by the bureau that
has charge of the bonds of mail con
tractors from a man who wished to
get off a bond. It Is unique. The
last entonoe contains a valuable
uggestion to others who dfellke to
receive disagreeable news, especially
on business matters. The letter tells
how he signed the bond naerely to
oblige a friend and then continues
with this personal history:
"1 Risked My life to go to the lec
tion this fall. I hwve Done all I can
for you Office Men at the White
house, So I Wood like if you office
Men Wood git me out of trouble so
I could Rest. I halnt Work one Day
Tor 1$ years on count of Palpitation

is Weak you office Men Do all yon

had tolld Mee the letten W 4 years
I never Wood Bind the bond I ihotht
(From Collier's Weekly.)
On the steps of the railroad station
at Pendleton, Oregon, he stood, pa
tient, old, massive, and wrapped In
his visiting blanket. Three hours he
stood there, waiting for the baggage
he had checked, not knowing that it
lay unclaimed behind a near-by door,
and never venturing a question. By
him rushed the new west, hurried,
indifferent, starityr at the long peace
pipe strapped across his back. Vague
ly the old man suggested a stirring
past only vaguely, however, and no
one stopped to probe. Then came an
other veteran, a white man, who
knew it was Red F.Ik who stood on
the steps. Major Moorehouse helped
him to secure his baggage, photo
graphed him, and sent him off to
the home of Eats-no-Meat, his broth
er. After that a reporter, scouting
for a Sunday story, sketched for the
readers of the Oregon Journal the
history of Red Elk's life. Back near
ly sixty years the young man carried
the story, back to the bloody months
of '55 and '56, when "that knightly
tribe, the Cayuses, Joined with the
Walla Wallas and the Umatillas, un
der the leadership of the mighty Pio-pio-mox-mox,"
to drlj the white man
from the northwest. It was a young
and eager Indian, a fanatic Red Elk,
whe fought in the battle of Walla
Walla against the Oregon volunteers
and fell with a bullet through his
head. For two days he lay as one
dead, then life came back, and Red
Elk crawled away to Join his scat
tered and beaten brothers. And then:
He Is an Indian of another day. Hla
body moves through the scenes of
the present, but the mind of Red Elk
is his own, and by it he lives in a dis
tant time when his life was as free
as his spirit and the glory of his peo
ple not a faded memory. Speaking
only when addressed, his Impassive
face never changing expression, this
old warrler moves about In the
world with which he has no sympathy.
How has Red Elk filled up those
fifty seven years since he was wound
ed? How has he kept his body erect
and his eye straight-gazing and
young? Why does he Journey by rail
road only once a year to visit his
brother's family? Does he raise horse
or wheat back there at his home on
the Xespelem reservation In Washing
ton? What chance led Red Elk to
experiment with baggage checks this
year if it la really true that he lives
only in the romantic past? We have
been reading Indian "Sunday Spe
cials" for some time, and we should
like to see the public weaned from
the habit of seeing Indians either

EendrlcV, In a letter from this place,
"and at times, I could not bear to stand
on my feet The doctor said I would
new be any better, and that I would
bar to have an operation, or I would
have a cancer.
I went to the hospital, and they ope,
ated on me, but I got no better. They
said medicines would do me no good,
and I thought I would have to die.
At last I tried Cardui, and began te
