FRIDAY. AUG. 15. IMS. 1HLXGSSKEX AXD UXSh'HX Tilings art' not always what t hey appear to he and the motive of the actor is not always trump eteil to the world by the net. Curious events chase each other as night ami day, or sunshine anil shallow. We see or hear of men Hitting here ami there, but we are not aware of their mission nor its inHuenee to the public. Two men were silhouetted on the political horizon during the past week and small is the knowledge the public has of the mission of these two persons, yet, far-reaching may be the in Huenee of either the one or the other, or both. These two siars in the politi cal sky are Kx-Governor Lind, of Minnesota, ami General Felix Diaz, of Mexico. The Hrst was sent as an envoy of peace to the Mexican capital, so we believe, but of the plans ami course to le pursued but little is made public. Of the other. Felix Diaz, it is altogether guess work as to what his mission is to the Jap anese Empire. Mr. Diaz stands in with the Huerta authority in Mexico and as the Huerta rule appears to be a losing factor in the rebellion now going on in Mexico, it would only be a natural conclu sion that Diaz' mission is in the interest of the Huerta forces, and as Jaian is a country that is looking for room to expand, there might be offers made that would induce the Mikado to lend such assistance as the Huerta governing power desires. Senator Williams, of Missis sippi, says that he believes there is an organized effort being made to bring about a war between this country and Mexico. Presi dent Wilson has expressed like opinions, and these gentlemen are not alone in their opinions in this respect as there are many other persons who believe the same. There are men who would profit largely in dollars and cents by such a conflict, and again there are those who have no regard for life nor the rights of others so long as they can se cure safety for themselves and gather wealth, and this class are not above scheming in any way possible to secure their own ag grandizement. It is a pity, but it is true that there are people who have no honor for God, humanity nor country, and who will do any thing to further their own selfish ends. This class not only have no love of country, but their in fluence is such that patriotism wanes in others because of their example. There are in Mexico wealthy men who hold their allegiance to this country, or England, or Germany. These men have sought Mexican soil and condi tions that they might exploit the Mexican people and gain wealth while they still hold al- lesriance to the mother country! that the protection its llag al'-i i lords mav still be theirs. This i j class is hardly a desirable addi tion to any land as they are not there for the benefit of any per-, 'son except t homsele : their po ; silion is wholly selfish and wheii ' ever they are in danger, no j matter if the fault is altogether ! their own, they are not slow to 'ask that the home uoverii ment ', stand behind them with all it j wealth and force of arms. Mexico ha a large number of this kind j of citizens and they have added j largely to the disrupted condi j tions of that country. I That General Felix Diaz, will I only he received in the Japanese i Empire as a private citizen, of i Mexico, is the news from Japan,; and although this must crush; some cherished hopes in Diaz.,! still he persists in making his intended visit. ' An Aid to the Crop Grourr Secretary McAdoo's offer of money for crop moving pur poses was intended chiellv for the benefit of the south and west, two great producing sec tions, and it is interesting to note how his announcement is being received. The St. Louis Post Despatch, a southern paper, has the follow ing comment: "Crop makers have the call over money lenders with the Wilson administration. Secre tary McAdoo has met the "New York pirates," as Hen Tillman calls them, squarely in the middle of the road with his plan to depo.Mt Federal funds in Western and Southern banks to help move the crops. "Why not? Why shouldn't the wealth producers he served by the government they sup port? "It may or may not be true, as charged, that certain greut Eastern banking interests are once more subtly scheming to bring on a financial pinch, t enrich themselves in a crop moving crisis at the cost of the farmers, and to frighten congress out of passing the administra tion currency bill. If it is true, and the Wilson administration believes it is, then Secretary McAdoo has made the only answer that could be made by a government not subject to con trol by the money lenders." Here is the way the matter is regarded by the Spokesman Re view, a representative north western paper: "The proposed action of the United States treasury appears judicious. It should enable the farming districts to secure the funds required at a particular season for a special purpose when they need it and at reason able rates. It puts a large amount of idle money to work. . It is likely to relieve New York and Chicago of an exceptional drain on their banking resources that is always trying to the finances of the country and would be likely to be doubly so this year of worldwide tightness in the money markets." In the humble view of the East Oregonian the McAdoo offer will do more than afford "relief" to New York and Chi cago financiers. It may relieve, for instance, the wheatraisers of the northwest from any possible hold-up by the buyers who can WHY NOT SPEND August At Get away from the heat and dust of the valley.

NAMES OF CITIES. With Soma Flippant Commtnti on th Soniort and Junior. One might naturally suppose that New York, for so many years the dominant city of the United States, would huve some namesakes among the numerous towns which have come into being all over the country during the last half cen tury, but the fact is that there is not one town in all the United States named for New York, the daddy of them nil, so to say. Maybe somebody cun Buy why this is, but 1 cannot, though I am sure not a few New Yorkers have had a hand in starting new towns in Vari ous states. Our next door neighbor, Philadelphia, as slow as it is alleged to be, beats us out, for there are six I'hiladelphias scattered ubout, and Boston, grand old Boston, has elev en namesakes. Kven Brooklyn put it all over New York, for there are fifteen Brooklyn on the map, which shows that whatever New Yorkers may think of Brooklyn, Brooklyn it es" think more of Brooklyn than New Yorkers think of New York when they go away from their home cities to start new ones. San Francisco and New Orleans are no better represented than New York, while Chicago and Baltimore have only one namesake apiece, though to hear Chicago one would imagine that every other new town in the country had been named aft er it. Chicago has nothing what ever on St. Imis in the matter of accumulating namesakes one, only one, each, and the only equality that Chicago is hound to admit. Pittsburgh has as many name sakes as Boston, eleven, but all of them combined haven't as much money as Pittsburgh, and the same might be said of Boston's name sakes in regard to brainB, though far be it from me to say it. Wash ington heads the list in the number of namesakes, twenty-eight, but it is not the capital so much as it is the immortal George which carries in this case. Cleveland is only one short of Washington, and why there should he twenty-six Clevelands in this country in addition to the one in Ohio I don't know. I fancy some of them were named in honor of Presi dent Cleveland, as every president gets at least one or two postofliccs named after him as a reminder of what he is to postmasters. Cincin nati is a smoothly sibilant name, and Cincinnati used to be quite a place, but it has only two name sakes, the same as Milwaukee, which is famous in other respects than it namesakes. W, J. Lampton in New York Sun. Newport? Train Service our Agent for ropy of "Newport" "Vacation Pays," they are frco for John M. Scott General Passenger Agent Wellington'! Black Trousers. Knee breeches oiirvived in fash ionable quarters until well into the last century. They were ultimately displaecd by trousers, but the trou scr on its first appearance was & tight fitting garment a sort of ex tension of the breeches from tho knee to the ankle. Mr. J. C. Wright tells us in his book, "The Good Old Times," that the I hike of Wel lington was refused admission to Almuck's in 1811 becauso ho wore black trousers instead of breeches and silk stockings, but it would ap pear from a later reference that trousers were admitted to those fashionable assembly rooms in King street, St. James', in the course of tho following year. London Opin ion. Wall Druggad. A doctor was summoned to a po lice station to examine an uncon scious prisoner. The prisoner, very muddy and disheveled, lay on tho floor of the cell. The physician bent over and examined him, and then, rising, said in a loud, stem voice: "This man's condition is not due to drink. He has been drugged." A policeman turned pale and said in a timid, hesitating voice: "I'm afraid ye're right, sir, I drugged him all tho way a mutter of n hundred yards or more." London Telegraph.
