WHO ARE THE GUNMEN?
HE life stories of the gunmen who killed Rosenthal
and were recently execuieu at oiu& i'";A,c
sketched by Winthrop D. Lane in The Survey. They
u crc tha hicfni-ipa nf four voune men
whom the world has stamped as 'hardened criminals, but
beyond whose connection with a single crime the world
has not cared to look.
"A number of facts stand out. First, there is no rec
ord of law-breaking against the parents of any ot them.
Brothers of Gyp and Whitey have been convicted of of
fenses, but their waywardness came later, so that no one
of the four can be explained on the ground that he came
from a long line of criminals, or that family example and
encouragement is responsible tor ms undoing. .
"The' early years of each seem quite clearly to have
been normal and straight-forward, giving no hint of the
direction later conduct was to take. One by one, through
disease, going to school, or going to work, they came into
' contact with the abnormal street life of a crowded and
heterogeneous community. Their yoiith demanded play
and excitement and they sought these where they were
easiest to find.
"Gradually, but with seeming inevitableness they made
the acquaintance of older boys and men who had mas
tered the trick of turning an easy dollar.
- : "Their own entrances into crime were gradual, begin
ning, in every case but that of Dago Frank, with petty at
tempts to get spending money easily. Yet no attempt was
made to' give them the benefit cf a sympathetic under
standing. Whatever help there may be in probation and
suspended sentence was not extended to them.
"This is not a plea of leniency toward murderers. It
is the mere putting of a question. No people is without
its machinery of punishment. Is it noUunportant also to
know why those punished come to such a pass? Must the
obtaining ot mat Knowledge ue leit to me ranuom explora
tions nf an occasional ioiimalist?"
IT IS MURDER TO
UCY A. ROSE MALLORY, who edits the "World's
Advance Thought, which is published, in Fortland
advances the idea that it is wrong to kill anything.
She carries this to the extent of saying: "It is mur
der to swat flies. It is just as real murder as swatting a
member of the human family would be. Of course, there
is a difference of opinion about most things. We even
differ with ourself as to the lady editor. We do not know
whether she values the life of a fly as highly as she does
that of a human being, or places a value on human life
as low as that she places on a fly.
Then one naturally wonders if she carries this idea of
the sacredness of life to its ultimate conclusions? Would
Lucy A. Rose Mallory say it was wicked, cruel and in ef
fect murder to destroy yellow fever germs? Would she
think it a crime to kill the moths and bugs that infest and
destroy orchards and gardens? Where would or could
she draw the line? If she spits she ejects living animal
she draw the line? If she spits she eject living animal
culae or buglets from their home, her mouth and throat.
There are some faddists that never reason because
nature did not give them anything to reason with, and
other open their fad volumes only when they close their
thinkers. We wonder if Lucy A. Rose Mallory ever
planted a garden and grew therein a greater variety of
slugs than vegetables? If she ever planted and tended
a rose bush and saw it covered with aphis? If but
what's the use? If she did and'still holds that it is murder
to take life of any kind she is not of this world, for she is
entirely too good or too silly, or too something for it.
And to think that Colonel Roosevelt has probably not
even heard of the Mexican "war"! Fate surely cuts
some queer capers with even the greatest of mortals.
Why don't the militant suffragettes invade Mexico?

TELKGRAPU REPORT
"SWAT" A FLY?
The Weils Fargo Messenger, a publication devoted to
the interest of the express companies, is fighting hard
against any further extension of the parcel post. This is
to be expected and its arguments will nave little effect up
on the public because of the course pursued before these
common carriers were forced to meet government compe
tition. Had the express companies reduced rates and
treated their patrons with the consideration they are now
showing the feeling toward them in time of trouble would
have been very much different from what it is today. Real
ly, the people care very little what happens to such cor
porations as the Wells Fargo Express company, and
their tales of woe fall on ears that are deaf to their com
plaints. . -
Colorado seems to have the biggest war show. It has
chased the Mexican incident off the front pages of the
newspapers. '
. Villa likes us Americans so much that he has decided
not to give us the licking we deserve. Good, kind Villa !
The warrior editors expect every headline to do its
duty.

Undue Pressure Applied In Forcing Mental
Development of School Children
By Dr. ARTHUR A. KNOCH of Wa-W Hills High School
Cincinnati
FOOTBALL, basketball and long distance races in grammar and high
schools ar& almost criminal. Our public officials ought to know
that such strenuous physical exertion exhausts almost all' organs
find that a D1L.ATKD HEAKT IS THE NATUKAL RESULT OF
THE UNREASONABLY PROLONGED TENSION INCIDENT TO
SUCH : GAMES? Our ideal should not culminate in tho training of
young athletes, but in tho education of mentally and physically sound
and harmoniously developed men and womon, whoso gait, posture and
bodily movements would arouse the admiration of all.
THE GENERAL OPINION OF PROGRESSIVE PEDAGOGUES AND
PHYSICIANS IS RAPIDLY DEVELOPING INTO A CONVICTION THAT
UNDUE 'PRESSURE IS APPLIED, AND APPLIED PREMATURELY, IN
FORCING THE MENTAL DEVELOPMENT OF SCHOOL CHILDREN. IT
IS CRUEL TO DEMAND THAT CHILDREN FROM SIX TO TEN YEARS
SHOULD REMAIN IN A COMPLETELY PASSIVE POSITION FIVE HOURS
DAILY IN A MUSTY, GENERALLY OVERHEATED 8CHOOLROOM WHEN
EVERY FIBER IMPELS THEM TO RUN INTO THE FREE AND BEAUTI
FUL OUT OF DOORS.
Wo overburden our pupils mcntallt at too early en age, and thia ia
ono of tlio reasons why such lamentable results jir .obtained during tho
first four school years.
Carroll, w.ell known local 0. A. B.
veteran, is enthused over the idea of
a troop of cavalry from Pendleton and
is stroug in declaring that not only
could; a troop be raised here but pos
sibly a whole squi'klron, officers as
well as men. lie declares it would not
bo necessary to import officers for a
troop should one bo formed here.
The largest individual wool sale
made in the Northwest this season wan
consummated at Pendleton Monday
evening when ChaHes II. Carter,
representing the Portland Woolen
Mills, purchased the coarse wool half
of the Hinytho Bros', clip, at Arling
ton, amounting to 175,000 pounds. The
price paid was IS 3-4 cents, an in
crease of 3 V4 eents over last year's
price for the same clip.
Snakes
These sunny days bring forth tho
snakes from holes in quarries, cliffs
- and brakes. The
go n tie bidlsnake,
mild and meek, Bets
forth his proper
prey to seek; of all
good snakes he is
the best, with high
ambitious in his
brenst; he is the
farmer's truest
friend, because
ho daily puts
an end toiice and
,other beasts which
prey, uiiou that
frff f&v . J farmer's crops and
" bay. JIo is moist
happy when he Agists on gophers and
nidi mensly beasts; and, being six or
eight feet high, when stood on end,
you can't deny that forty bullsnakes
on a farm are bound to do the vermin
harm. Tho Imllsnake never hurts a
thing; he doesn't- bite, he doesn't
sting, or wrap you in his slimy folds,
ami squeeze you till he busts all holds.
As harmless as a bale of hay, he does
his useful work all day, and when at
night he goes to rest, he's killed off
many a wretched pest. And yet the
farmers always take a chance to kill
this grand old snako. They's ehnse
three miles or more to end the labors
of their truest friend. They'll hobble
forth from beds of pain to hack a bull
snake's form in twain, and leave him
mangled, torn and raw which shows
there ought to bo a law.

SALTS FINE FOR
ACHING-KIDNEYS
We eat too much meat -which clogi
Kidneys then Back hurts and
Bladder Bothers you.
Most folics forget that tho kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and clog
ged and need a flushing occasionally,
else we have backache and dull mis
ery in the kidney region, severe head
aches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver,
acid stomach, sleeplessness and all
sorts of bladder disorders.
You simply most keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment yon
feel an ache or pail ia the kiuney
region, got about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any- good drug store here,
take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast for a few dnys
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts U made from tho
acid of grapes and Vernon juice, com-
bined with lithia, and is harmless to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate ,
them to normal activity. It also neu- j
tralizes tho acids in the urine so it no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
disorders.
Jad Salts-is harmless; inexpensive; I
makes a delightful effervescent lithin
water drink which everybody should
take now and then to keep their kid-
neys clean, thus avoiding serious com- j
plications. j
A well-known local drnggist says ho
sells lots of Jad Malts to folks who be
lieve in overcoming kidney trouble
whilo it is only trouble. '" I

TO TEST CONSTITUTIONALITY '
OF OREGON "BLUE SKY" LAW
Portland, April 29. Following tho
denial by Federal Judge Wolverton of
a petition by the National Mercantile
Company of Vancouver, B. C., for a
temporary injunction against the oper
ation of the Oregon "blue sky" law,
a hearing on the constitutionality of
the law before three federal judges
will be held June 8th. Circuit Judge
Gilbert and District, Judges Wolverton
and Bean will sit en banc and hour
the arguments. .
In denying tho petition for injunc
tion Judge Wilverton tnid: "I am
convinced thnt the National Mercantile
Company, even if it does uot fall
within tho jurisdiction of the 'blue
sky' buw, should qualify under the
general laws of tho state."
IH SAGE TEA
Grandma kept her locks dark, glossy
and thick with a simple mixture
ot Sage Tea and Sulphur.
The old-timo mixture of Sngc Tea
and .Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hnir is grand
mother's treatment, and folks are
again using it to keep their hair a
good, even color, whlcii Is quite sen
sible, as we are liv'ng in an ago wucn
a youthful appearance is of the great
est advantage.
Nowndays. though wo don't hnve the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drug stores sell the ready-to-use prod
uct called "Wyetb's inge and sul
phur Hair Kemedv" for about 50
cents a bottle. It is very popular be
cause nobody can discover it has been
applied, himply moisten your comb or
a soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking ono small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disiippenrs, but what delights the
ladies with Wyeth's tinge and iSulphur
is that, besides beautifully darkening
tho hair alter a few applications, it
also produces that soft lustre and ap
pearance ot nbundance which is so at
tractive; besides, prevents dandruff,
itching sculp and lulling hair. .Local
