Remember the Fourth.
Our Fourth will be a hummer,
and we want your presence. He
good and come.
The Fourth will be celehrated a
never before in the history of our
town. A cordial welcome is ex
tended to everybody to be with us
on the occasion.
The cause of education or relij;
ion is evidently to be the recipient
of another large donation. John
D. Rockefeller has raised the price
on gasoline and reduced its test
If robbing with one hand and pour
ing it out to charity, religion or ed
ucation will pave a way to heaven
Mr. Rockefeller will evidently have
a reserved seat near the great white
throne.
It is a source of pride to view the
promptness with which the appeal
to aid the Heppner suflerers was
responded to by the good people of
Independence. Nearly everywhere
the parties having the subscription
paper in charge would meet with
the assertion that the donors would
be glad to do more if in their power
to alleyiate the suffering of our
Eastern Oregon friends. The spirit
is certainly a commendable oae,
and the cause a deserving one.
We have read many profound
treatises on the race question, but
never have we seen it so thoroughly
handled, nor so briefly and simply,
as by our president, standing by
the tomb of the immortal Lincoln
and uttering these words of wis
dom: "Let me say one word: It
seems to me eminently fitting that
the guard around the tomb of Lin
coln should be composed of colored
soldiers. It was my own good for
tune at Santiago to serve beside
colored troops. A man who is good
enough to shed his blood for his
country is good enough to be given
a square deal afterwards. More
than that no man is entitled to;
any less than that no man shall
have." The last two sentences
sum the entire question in a mas
terly manner. The justice of such
a, declaration is unimpeachable
even by the bitterest class arrayed
against the Negro.
The soil of the "Pearl of the An
tilles" drank up Cuban blood under
the rei'n of a Spanish dictatorship
until it was a crimson hue and
America would stand it no longer.
The Ottoman empire, the curse of
Christendom, unsheathed its sword
and smote countless thousands to

from Uulf to Cunada in protest to

that noble prosecuting attorney,
who, in the performance of duty,
prefaced his address to the jury
with the statement thai, though he

way is to keep them in the street,

Our Trip Over the Vnlly.
Special from Parker.
On Friday, June f, having se
cured a competent official to repre
sent our interests in our valuable
naner. the K.vmii'KisE, we lay
aside all business cares and respon
sibilities and accepted a respite for
a short visit with old friends and
relatives in Linn county.
After a short visit at the metrop
olis we boarded the overland lor
Albany, catching flying glimpses of
Oregon City with its nulls and fac
tories: of . Salem with its tall build
ings of state and of Chemawa with
its Indian schools. We also Had
the pleasure of seeing an Indian
bride and groom who were starting
on their wedding tour and who
boarded the train at Chemawa.
Among our fellow passengors wo
noticed a younr; man who carried
a bottle ot some mysierious com
position and when he had imbibed
enough of this mixture to dull his
mental abilities he leaned over to
ward an open window, when a gust
of wind lifted his hat and carried it
over into an adjoining field much
