would be to face a foreipn foe
with such forces in the front
But talk of the guard being j
injured by the border service is
piffle. The border service is
the best thing that could have
happened to the guard. A few
months' service on the border
under real service conditions is
worth more to militiamen, offi
cers or enlisted men, than
would be five years' armory
experience at home.
If there is anvthing fatally
wrong with the national guard
it may have been disclosed by
the border service, but it was
not produced by this service.

SICKLE
A ship, an isle, a sickle moon
With few hut with how splend-
id stars
The mirrors of the sea are
strewn
Between their silver bars!
An isle beside an isle they lay.
The pale ship anchored in the
bay.
While in the young moon's
port of sold
A star-ship so the mirrors
told
Put forth its ureat and lonely
' light
To the unreflecting Ocean,
Nisht.
And still, a ship upon her seas,
Tfce isle, and island cypresses
Went sailing on without the
pale;
And still there moved the moon
so pale,
A crescent ship without a sail!

TWO NATIONS STRIKE A
BARGAIN
VVtlTH women wielding the
TJf ballot for the first time,
the referendum in Den
mark on the sale of the Danish
West Indies to the United
States resulted in a vote of al
most two to one in favor of the
proposition. This probably
will be conclusive. The United
States senate ratified the treaty
last September. It only re
mains now for the American
congress to appropriate the
I $25,000,000 agreed upon and
for the Copenhagen govern
ment to provide for the formal
transfer of sovereignty.
Negotiations for the acquisi
tion of the islands began more
than fifty years ago, and have
always been conducted on our
part with the highest regard
for the sensibilities of the Dan
ish people. Except on the oc
casion when Germany inter
fered, there has been but one
argument in Denmark against
the sale, and that was on the
point of national pride. The
plebiscite just held settles that
matter practically and wisely
at first hand.
By this transaction a power

tnce to the conduct of the peni
tentiary. The following ex
tract from a story under a Sa
lem date line gives'an index to
the report: .
That the system used at the stae
yeni'entiary in throwing offenders of
a widely differing type into prHon to
pether i "wrong in theory and per
nicious in practice" is the assertion
mide bv the state board of control in
tls bionn'al report just Issued
"The sta'e penitentiary to in cla

youna man "ho ha committed a
crime in the I eat of passion, or is the
victim of the subtle powers of asso
ciates, 1r confined wi'.h hardened j

The foregoing smacks'
strongly of the days of Oswald
Vest. But when the ex-governor
was striving sincerely in
the direction of prison improve
ment we were daily informed
by the hard shelled republican
ti'ress that such work was
maudlin sentiment" and came
from "sentimentalists" and
mollycoddles." It was the
eneral assumption that under
the present state administra
tion we would see no more evi
dence of such alleged weakness

vail instead.
It now appears that the West
policy, however it may be
characterized, looks pretty
yood to those around the state

involved, who favor the Ameri

how reason and economic con

force even in the transfer of
territory. For liberal compen

distant islands that have be

aa follows:
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of the City of Pendleton:
We, the undersigned board of mov
ing picture censors appointed by your
council, respectfully submit our fir.-t
annual report:
During the past year we have en
deavored to cooperate with the mov
ing picture managements in bringing
to this city only the best and clean,

ment wth the managers that no film
shall be shown In this city that ha

mitted to us for review and approv
al. To this end we have received the
cooperation of the Film Exchanges
doing business In this city, and we are
giaa to report that during the past
year here has not been a single In
fraction of this agreement. We have
made eliminations In more than one
hundred films, and nine films have
been entirely eliminated. We have
also censored the vaudeville act n.i
with the cooperation of the manage
ments, nave eliminated as far as pos
sible all iitiat was suggestive and Im
moral. We confidently believe that
Tendleton has today fewer objection
able films and shows than any other
city of Its size In the stale.
We most heartily commend he
management of our picture house to
the confidence of the people. Theso
men are doing their best to cooprate
with us In keeping out of the city all
objectionable productions, but the
public must understand that these I
men are largely at the mercy of thi!
Film Exchanges. We have found
them ready at all times to cooperataj
with us, even when they have been :
put to large expense and Inconven
ience. We do not understand by our agree,
ment with the council that we have
any jurisdiction over ithe production,
at the Oregon theater. If It Is the
wish of your honorable body that we j
exercise such authority, we will be ;
glad to do so. The task Imposed up-1
on us Is no light one; it requres much '
of our time and pailence and we are
constantly open to criticism, but we t
are doing 'the best we can to protect!
the public and especially the children
from demoralizing pIctureB and enter
tainments. We respectfully solicit the
con'lnued cooperation of the city
council and the public.
