All communication! should be addressed to l be PREBS Athena, Oregon ATHENA, JUNE 10, 1904 When anyone tells you that this coun ty belongs politically to the republicans, just dig up the returns from Monday's election. The democrats don't own it, either, but from the official count they evidently cut some figure in filling county offices. If the Pendleton Tri bune can find a grain of comfort in the legislative portion of the ticket, the Press is not narrow enough to envy any solace that the editor of that paper may derive from it, even though the East Oregonian put forth its untiring effort in giving it to him. The "milk of human kindness" is ofttimes adulterated with water that even lacks the quality of purity, and all fairness that a, democrat ever got from the Tribune or its editor was either through ignorance or mis taken identity, parboiled with a retrac tion. The Strain incident, for instance. The Salem Journal reads a lecture to the business men of the capital city that will apply to those of every other city in Oregon. It is applicable everywhere. It says: "Let those who want to see any thing done about a railroad to Dallas and about another $2000 state fair purse i attend the city hall to hear the propo sitions, and act. Let us drop long winded ragchewing. If Salem capital ists and business men do not want to take up these matters, well and good, Let us say to the world, and quit hold ing out the idea that we are prepared to consider such things. . Newspaper talk and speechmaking are at a discount un less we back them up with action. The less talk and the more action the better. Money talks and nothing else will build railroads or run horse races." The Argus, a Walla Walla paper, the existence of which was unknown to us until a marked copy was sent us the other day, advises Walla Walla people when in Athene to keep their hands on their pocketbooks. Ihe advice which is given as the result of professional pickpockets relieving a Walla Walla carpenter of Lis money while entering a train here, is to bo heeded, but what about Athena people who go to Walla Walla occasionally? Past experience of Athenaians at the garden city would in dicate that they would not be consider ed over cautious it they deposited their pocketbooks in a bank vault before leaving home. The completion of plans for denying the use of the mails to all newspapers and magazines carrying objectionable advertisements is announced from. Wash ington. All classes of suggestive litera ture, get-riuh-quick schemes and ques tionable patent compounds are under the ban, and postmasters throughout the couutry will be notified to forward periodicals giving space to such adver tisements to the department. Judge R. Goodwin, attorney general for the post office department, is to be the censor, and objectionable matter will be sent to the Association of American Publishers, which will notify the newspapers that at a given date the advertisement cannot appear. v An Illinois insane asylum will try to cure its patients by having them play baseball. Well, baseball has turned a good many people's beads, and possibly it will serve to restore their reason. The Dalles Times-Mountaineer gives it straight from the shoulder when it says: 'Nebraska democrats have elected Willium J. Bryan a delegate to the national convention. That was the right thing to do. Bryan should have a Ft at in the national convention and should be giveu an opportunity to state his position on party measures, but it does not follow that he should be allow ed to dictate the platform or came the candidate. No one man power should be tolerated in a democratic convention. Majority rule is the right idea." And now Seattle's mayor and chief of police are threatened with death un less they cease trying to enforce the law. No wonder. Seattle has been such a lawless place so long that it is not surprising that certain elements ob ject to being controlled.; They have decided over in England that Lhassa must be reached. Col. Younghusband will therefore continue to make it lively for the grave diggers along his line of march. Mr. Rockefeller says the money he made when he was a boy did not burn a hole in bis pocket. It was at a later -period of his career hat he began to have money to burn. A Kansas City man has been enjoined from seeing his children within forty eight hours after he has taken a drink. Such a decree would make some child ren fatherless. We trust that the late Herbert Spen cer's hitherto unpublished letter on war will be translated into Russian and Japanese - Experts test a man's sanity by watch ing him at a game cf baseball on the theory, probably, that a man is crazy then, if ever. If the Japanese progress as rapidly for another half century, they will be giving lessons in civilization themselves. The summer girl and the sweet gradu ate are beginning to worry at the slow ness of the dressmaker. ' TO RETURN BOER BIBLES. Issuance of British War OflUe Order with That Object in View. The following memorandum by Lord Roberts has been Issued from the Brit ish war-office, reports the London Times of late date: "It has been brought to the notice of the commander In chief that, on the conclusion of the recent war In. South Africa, a large number of Doer families found, on returning to their farms, that their family Bibles had disappeared. It appears that the Boer inhabitants of the South African col onies set great store by their family Bibles, which often contain family rec ords of some antiquity, and even In some cases are the only repository of such records, in consequence of the unavoid able destruction of church registers. Lord Roberts feels sure that if any per son's have In their possession any of these Bibles they will willingly return them when they learn how they are val ued by their former possessors; and he thinks It unnecessary to emphasize how much such a kindly act would be ap preciated by our new fellow-subjects. He therefore wishes it to be known as widely as possible among all officers and soldiers who are now serving, or have been retired, discharged or rele gated to the reserve, whether they be longed to the regular army, auxiliary or colonial troops, and also among any of their friends to whom they may have given them as relics, that Mr. W. H. Alexander, of 12 Bishopgate Without, London, E. C, has kindly consented to receive and dispatch to their owners any such Bibles which may have been taken from Boer farms, He feels sure that the above facts, and the knowledge that it is his wish that all such relics should find their way back to their formerly owners, will be sufficient to in sure that their present owners, however much they may value them, will readily part with them for this purpose." Knows Kalian Llteratare. Rev. J. F. Bingham has returned to his home In Hartford, Conn., after IS months' absence In Rome and Flor ence. In the latter he had been occu pied for the last year in carrying through the Italian press an extended work on that literature and written wholly In that language. It Is pub lished in Florence by the famous an cient house of Barblra and in London by the Oxford University presa. Sr. Bingham is well known In Italy as "the learned American Italianista."

Die Berliner Post publishes the fol lowing paragraph: "The cairns, or giant graves, at Bosau, near Eutin, art being excavated under the direction of Prof. Knorr, of the Kiel museum ol antiquities. One grave has already been opened up, in which two urns and a gold bracelet , 12 centimeters in length, were found. A stone grave, three meters long and 170 centimeters wide, containing a skeleton supposed to be over 3,000 years old. was alsc laid bare.
