FOOD FOR THOUGHT
The assassination of Ito, Ja
pan's eminent statesman, by a
Corean journalist, but empha
sizes the unrest that exists in
political and social conditions,
and the insecurity of the lives
of public men. This spirit of
unrest seems to permeate all
nature, so that things natural
as well as political are affected,
and even the distant, planet,
Mars, according to scientific re
search, is said to be passing, or to
have passed through change vi
tal to conditions supposed to
have existed there.
We perceive that there is un
rest of natures forces on and in
the earth. The cyclone's trail,
strewn with debris, shows its de
structive force; the earth's quake
followed by fire, or the inunda
ting wave, leaves death and cha
os to reign where but a moment
before peace and tranquility re
posed; the storm with its deluge,
or its tempestuous winds driving
the waters of the sea beyond
their bounds, carrying death and
devastation with it, tetifies of
the unquiet state of things natu
ral, while wars and rumors of
wars is evidence of the differen
ces of nations, and strikes, riots
aud other disturbances mark the
unrest of internal life in govern
ments. All things speak of inquiet
ude, and while we may be loath
to believe it, and not able to per
ceive it, yet there seems to be a
relationship between things ani
mate and things inanimat which
link them together so that both
partake of the samo spirit.
And why should they not; the
same force that spake the one
into shape, brought forth the
other to occupy, and the life-giving
principle that causes the
earth to bear fruit, sustains the
life that is thereon; the same
hand which rules the earth has
reserved the right to govern that
which he has placed on it, hence
lie whose right it is to direct
and control, has supervision of
both conditions, and it is not to
be wondered at if both are
moved upon to bring about the
purposes of the mind that de
signed them.
Man was placed in possession
of the earth and given a law by
which he might inhabit, and
subdue all things, but he has
60 aght out his own method of
subjugation, and instead of using
the law of love, bv which all
things will cling or hold togeth
er, he has chosen a method that
separates instead of binds, that
brings dissension and strife,
instead of peace, and this spirit
of unrest is now manifest in
things natural and in things po
litical. It designates man's in
ability to rise to perfect govern
ment, and very likely marks the
beginning of the ushering in of
a new dispensation.
The Czar of Russia will 'have
a large fruit orchard in South
ern Oregon, eo says report.
Well he will not be the first
prominent man of Europe to in
vest in U, S. lands. Many Eu
ropeans look upon this govern
ment as being more likely to
survive political upheavals than
monarchies are, and hence,
some of them have invested with
the idea that while ordinarily
the investment will pay, it will
be a nice thing to fall back up
on, should their own govern
ment collapse. The Pope of
Rome is said to have large pos
sessions in this countrv.
Washington state is making
considerable of progress in free
ing its borders of the saloons
During the past three months
elections were held under local
option conditions, and twelve
out of fifteen towns have gone
dry, the other three voting wet.
Three of the towns to banish
the saloons were county seats,
namely: Wenatchee, county seat
of Chehalem county, Colville
of Stevens county, and Prosser
of Benton county. The ban is
on the saloon and sooner or later
it must go. Its influence is
baleful and there is nothing that
can be said in its favor.
And now comes one Jacob
Suter and makes the declaration
that Dr. Cook never made the
ascent of Mount McKinley and
gives as a reason, that "It is a
physical impossibility, because
the peak of that mountain is a
pyramid or pinnacle of solid,
glaring ice, almost perpendicu
lar, and that no man even if he
chopped steps in the ice, could
climb up." He adds that he
has been around that mountain
and knows what he is talking
about. The Explorer is having
strenuous times to maintain his
claim, and if present conditions
continue, will have a large An-
nias Club by the time the con-
troversv is settled.

There is the gun that "isn't
oaded," but it goes off and some
one who was in front dies be
cause of carelessness. There is
the moving brush and the over
anxious hunter shoots and hu
man life goes out because of
rashness. There is the football
game and well it is no use
there is nothing fatal enough to
compare it with. Saturday's
trumes resultedin three fatalities.
Eugene E. Byrne of West Point,
a b -oken neck, died three hours.
lawr; Michael Burk at Phila-
lelphia, skull fractured, died
Sunday morning. The last was
at Buckner, Missouri, where
Ray Spybuek, a Wyandotte In
dian, sustained a shattered verte
brae and died Sunday night. It
is time that institutions of learn
ing and the public place a ban
on this deadly game.
A Big Birdcage.
A very peculiar institution In the
New York too Is what is known as
"the flying birdcage." This magnifi
cent aviary ts the larpest of its kind
In the world, being 55 feet high. 72
feet wide and 150 feet long. Large
oak and other trees grow lo this cage,
and the birds live within Its wire net
ting bounds in the utmost freedom.
The frame of the cage Is built of Iron
pines, which are covered over with
thin meshed netting.
