cATHENA. ORE.. JUNE 6 ......1913
We referred tbe other day to tbe
terriflo fight that is being waged by
the speoial interests against the pend
ing tariff bill. Tbe correspondents
have cot exaggerated anything, as is
demonstrated by the President's dram
atic warning and call to tbe people.
Tbe tnasees have no lobbyists, Con
gress and tbe Kxooutive are supposed
to lepresent them, Lot the pressure of
tbe paid lobbyists is an "intolerable
harden" not to say nnisanoe. Tbe
bombardment of senators, especially
tbe weaker ones, by mail and tele
graph is, of coarse, also directed by
tbe lobby. 'And, as tbe President
says, many of those who write letters
of protest and complaint know nothing
of the facts and conditions, and mere
ly do tbe liddng of friends, or of
friends of friends. The mauofaotore
of artificial opinion can only ba
obeoked by exposure and tbe open
appeal of honest men to a real publio
opinion. Let those who bave tbe facts
and arguments to present demand a
fair hearing. Threats, bluffs, baseless
fabrications arid vague orics of "ruin"
should utterly fail of effect. The
President and bis cabinet will do
their part in defeating tbe invaders
and sappers, and tbe Senate has ap
pointed a committee to investigate the
President's obargoa
Great Diitain, France and Italy
formally tiOtiSed tbo Department of
State at Washington, according to
dispatobes of the 21st ult., of their
acceptance of tbe principle under
lying tbe world peace plan as proposed
by President Wilson and Mr. Bryan
for tbe nations of tbe world. Now
that these three ualioos bave express
ed their approval, the Secretary of
State, Mr. Bryan, will proceed in ac
cordance with the plan to negotiate
with eaoli riatiou a sopatale treaty
ty tbe terms of wbiob such nation
and the United Slates shall not de
olare war against each other until
matters In controversy shall bave keeu
reviewed by a joint commission, uor
styill tbey iuoreuse armaments during
Ibia investigation.
One hundred oattle- and horsemen
of Eastern Oregon and Southern Idaho
met last week at Buker and formed
tbe Oregon Cattle aud Horsemen's
Association, with the plau of proteo
tiou against oattle and horse thieves.
In this oouueotion au effort is beiug
made to have a braud inspector at the
Ncrtb Portland markets. Ibis action
is found neoessary on the part of stock
luou after years of loss through stock
rustling. The law is not enforced
severely enough against cattle aud
horse thioves. When oouvioted, as a
rule, tbey get oil with light seutenoes
and frequently are placed ou parole.
A -Rood, stiff sentenoe for stealing
etook would do more to put a quietus
cu the rustling habit than anythiog
elso,
Lord Francis Hope has put op tor
Bale for Luildiug purposes bis ueauti
ful country scat near Dorkiug in
southeastern England. Lord Fianoia
hays he is impelled to take lf)is step in
w of tbe claims being made upou
I i u "tot tindovoloped land duty,"
t-iding that the "laud tax bus been
i uposeuV for the cxprcps purpose of
compelling landowners to Ltak up
fcuoh estatos, aud landowners will
probably disoover that, if the present
tax does not bave the desired effect,
il a ill not be difficult for the govern
ment to Iuoreuse it until the object is
achieved."
A tdg Toxub tanoh of 210,000 acres
has just beeu sold to a syndicate of
British capitalists. Big as it is, this
tract U really a modest one compared
to a number of tbe really large hold
ings that British citizens or companies
own in Texas. As tetween a Japauese
holding an acre aud a half aud rais
ing strawberries ou it, aud a British
Ryndioate buying laud by tbe ball-
county, we suppose that the Japsuese
and his strawberry patch are the real
menace, as to (oreigueri grubbing up
laud holdings iu this country.
Those six ceuti awatddd Teddy iu
kit 110,000 damage suit will briug

With such a wad of loore aud the
Colonel vindicated by tha Marquette
jury, tbe characteristic smile will
agaiu flicker about Oyster Bay and lt
eut irons.
. As an inducement to foster Interest
in corn-raising as a supplementary
crop to wheat on the farms of East
ern Oregon, tbe O.-W. R. & N. com
pany will hold a corn show fit Pen
dleton on Deoember 5 and 6. A ootn
show will also be held at Colfax,
Wash., on Deoember 2 and 3. At
both shows prizes will be awarded ex
hibitors for the best oom prodnoed.
More than tine tons of selected seed
oorn have thus far been distributed
free by tbe company to farmers in
both states.
The city of Dayton, Ohio, recov
ering from tbe terrible results of its
great flood, at a special election on
May 20th, chose 15 men to aot as a
Commission to write a charter for tbe
city on tbe basis of a commission form
of government. The 15 men had teen
nominated by a non-partisan citizens'
committee.
Sometimes it is a faot that tbe very
worst of people oooupy tbe very best
of countries. Mexico is a case in
point. Her climate is all that is de
sirable and ber soil fertile but her
people are anything else than progres
sive. In war tbey are brutal and
barbarous, and in peace backward in
civilization.
LISZT AND HIS CIGARS.
Why the Great Musician Said He
Would Quit Smoking.
Liszt was in the habit of smoking
one cigar n day. But that one cignr
was an exceedingly choice one. When
he was starting on a journey be told
his valet how many days he would be
away, and his valet put Into the valise
a corresponding number of, those ci
gars. Once when Liszt was going to, Italy
the chief customs officer at the frontier
post of Chlnsso asked him If he had
anything to declare. The musician,
with bis thoughts centered ou bis mu
sic rather than his cigars, made sljrns
to the effect that he had nothing. The
officer opened the valise without the
traveler ngltatlng himself over the
search. Presently n number of tignrs
were brought to light. The whole lot
was confiscated, nud lie was ordered to
pay a flue of $100.
When Liszt reached Milan he told his
ngent of his unpleasant adventure. Rl
cordl laughed at the whole affair, took
a stroll to the Italian treasury and re
covered the cigars and the fine. Ou
returning to the artist he offered him,
with a smile, one of his own precious
cigars
"No, my dear friend," said Liszt, "1
have taken n vow never to smoke again
so" as not to expose myself n second
time to such n humiliation."
IMcordl says he kept his vow. Other
authorities recall Iteger's visit to the
virtuoso in 1870.
"Liszt smoked and offered me n ci
gar," said IJeger, "and while I took my
ease ho walked up and down, sending
out clouds of suioko In tho direction of
certain terra eottn figures'-New York
Sun.
Superstitions on Crickets.
The cricket on the hearth la still a
welcome guest In those English house
holds that he deigns to visit. Ills com
ing Is a harbinger of good fortune,
while if he leaves the house that Is nn
Infallible sign of Imminent disaster.
A correspondent In Notes and Queries
refers to a belief prevalent In Lanca
shire "that crickets re lucky about a
house and will do no harm to those
who use them well, but that they cat
holes In tho worsted stockings of such
members of the family as kill them. 1
was assured of this," adds the writer,
"mi the experience of n respectable
fanner's family." London Spectator.

"That's the sixth Studebaker we've
passedthe only kind to invest in"
"The only kind-because, as I always say, when
a man puts money in a thing he wants to know that ,
he's going to get the worth of it out again."
"That's plain business as I look at it"
"That's why I say the price doesn't tell you any
thing at all. There's only one thing that talks except
the wagon itself. That's the name of the maker."
"When you buy a Studebaker you're buying a
vehicle that has behind it and in it sixty years of ex
perience sixty years of success and sixty years of
reputation for the square deal. That's why a Stude
baker always looks good to me.
"My father used to say that Studebaker Honor was as sure
at a United States bank note. He was talking after having used
Studebaker vehicles since he was a lad, and he told me his father,
before him said, 'Be sate-rget a Studebaker.' "
"Vehicle builders can't hold that sort of reputation now-a-days
without delivering the goods. A Studebaker wagon has the
best in it That's why a. man gets the mot out of It why it'
always an economy."
"Dealers may say to you something else is 'just as good.' But
when you buy a Studebaker, you're making a safe investment
every time."
