Chiefs Moses and McGraw.


\ North Yakima dispatch of the
10Th inst. notes Il meeting of the
chiefs OF the past and present at the
fair lately held in that city.
Chief Moses was resplendant in war
paint and feathers. Chief McGraw
appeared picturesque" (as George
Hazard would say) under the glory
OF his many high and weighty honors,
among which were Governor of the
great State of Washington, Com
mander-in-Chief of the famous Wash
ington National Guards, Purveyor of
Numerous Positions Of Emolument
and Trust, Chief Supporter of the
Burleigh Management of Railroads,
and High Tyee of the Tribe OF Bena-
min. Chief Moses was surrounded by
several thousands of his braves and
his impenetrable dignity. Chief Nc
Graw was attended by his Adjutant
General Boutelle and staff of expect
ants of favors to come. Chief Moses
strutied with head erect as though he
had fir log rammed down his spine,
recognizing nobody; while Chief Nc
Graw was profuse with smiles and
bows and genuflections that indicated
the astute politician.
The presence of the two chiefs or.
this commingling Of the tribes in social
harmony, necessitated, of course, a
meeting of the big men. How to
bring them together so as to preserve
their relative dignity was a question.
The paleface chief was willing to meet
the warrior, having in his political ex.
perience acquired the habit of being
all things to all men. Not so Will,
Moses. He peremptorily declined to
meet the Governor on common
level. His lineage extended far back
of the Governors antecedents, and he
based his eminence on something
more substantial than a party vote
His title to distinction was based upon
deeds of heroism and the prestige Of
many sanguinsry conflicts. He con.
sidered our Governor very small po
tato compared with a warrior whose
body was tatooed with innumerablt
records of bloody strife.
But the amenities usual on such oc
casions were fully explained to the
naughty warrior, in diplomatic man
ner-through an interpreter-andt tn,
chief took the matter under considera
ton. For fully fourth of an hou
he revolved his mighty intellect abou
the proposition. Like the menta
conflict of Poo-Bah, the High Lor,
Chancellor of the Mikado, it was hard
fought battle backed by pride of auces
try and the dignity OF his exalted sta
ton. When, however. it was repre-
sented to him that the pale-fsced chic
possessed the peculiar trait OF charac
ter for which the executives of two 0
the Southern States have become g,
noted, he relented a little and slight,
bent his royal neck and gave assent b,
an ungracious bow to the painful or
deal of introduction to q chief VIII,
holds his place by sufferance of hi
people.
Thus met the Governor OF the Stat,
of Washington and Chief Moses, tn
Great Mogul of the Tribes of the Des
ert.
The record does not show that Their
has been any other meeting, when tn
critical eyes of the multitude we're no
bent upon the exalted actors, but it i
to be supposed, from the diplomat
means employed to overcome the war
riors antipathy, and its immediate 81
feet, that they have tastes in common
that led to better and more thorou 81
communion OF soul.

The Issue Defined.

81 thank thee. jew, for, teaching me- that
word" Merchant Gf IeHice.
The Oreg0nidH magnanimOuSly de-
clares that President Cleveland lis
entitled to credit for what he has done
against the preponderant sentiment of
his own party" in support of the gold
standard, "a thing very difficult for
any administration to do. The pol
ICY" it aflirms, che has pursued on
the money question, has been sub
stantially that of preceding Republi-
can administrations"
1t then goes on to state that "for
years an overwhelming majority of
Democrats in Congress was pressing
free coinage of silver. Again and
again this was defeated by Republican
etiort-at one critical time only by
Gear Reeds decisiveness. Follow
ing this, it was only by the passage of
the silver-purchase act that free
coinage bill could be prevented from
going through Congress"
The Oregonidn's head is level on
that proposition, if it is on slant re-
garding many matters of fact and pol
icy. The rank and file OF the Democ-
racy, the party OF the people, has moth
ing in common with the gold-bugs,
who have used the machinery OF the
Republican party from time immemo-
rial to advance their selfish schemes.
The issue is as clear cut and well de-
fined as in the days OF jackson, when
The Wing party, true to the teachings
of the Federalists, who represented the
leaven OF monarchial feeling that ex-
listed at the close of the war for indie
pendence, embracing the professional
classes and the wealthiest merchants
the aristoCratic element in national
politics-boldly declared for internal
improvements, banking and protective
tariff. The Wing policy evolved
grand schemes of speculation in which
these measures were to be potent fac
tors. As long as the Democratic
party, the party OF the people, re-
manned in power, these influences
were held in check; there was a limit
placed upon the acquisition of per-
sonal wealth and the aggregation OF
capital into the hands of the few, the
greatest menace to free government.
1t did not take very long, however
after divided counsels and the circum-
stance of war had placed power in the
hands OF the Republican party, for the
regal element to pile up their millions
upon millions, and to shape legislation
in accordance with avarice and greed
High tariff soon enabled wealthy man.
ufacturers to dictate the terms oil
labor; aid to corporations riveted the
letters upon the limbs of individual
enterprise, and juggling of monetary
affairs has enabled capital to acquire g
death-grip upon nearly every strug
Cling industry in the broad land.
The Orfgoniam states the simple
truth when it declares that the pre-.
ponderant sentiment" of the Demo
cratic party is in favor of enough
coinage to afford an adequate reward
for labor. Though it may be fighting
against great odds when opposed by
the administration and the mighty
patronage it has placed in power, the
party has never yet turned aside from
duty at the decisive moment, nor will
it now abandon time-honored princi
pie to follow a leader into pathways il
has always condemned.

Mich, August 8, 1925. He studied law

admitted to the bar in 1915 In 1916 he
went to Waukegan, H., where he en-
gagged in the practice of his profession.
He lived at Waukegan until July. 1869,
He was elected it's first mayor in 1852,
and in 1856 was the presidential elector
for the district in which he resided. He
was a member of the constitutional con.
vention in Illinois in 1861, and from 1861
to 1863 he was bank commissioner in
that State. lie was personally ac-
quainted with Abraham Lincoln. Dur

ing Chinese and Japanese.
It costs $24O to convert Chinaman to
Christianity. yet conversion Of China
men is not SO difficult or expensive as
Is sometimes supposed, says the New
York Press. The Japanese are the most
inexpensively converted Of all heather,
and last year an average Of only STA
was spent on every Jap who became a
Christian. The most expensive mis-
sions in the world are those Of the Prot
estant churches In South America. 1t
requires about 1,400 to make Of an In
dian or Catholic in the United States
Of Colombia Protestant, the Presbyte-
rian church having made twelve con-
verts last year at an expense Of $17 900.
Home missions spend $74 on each con-
vert which includes a great deal Of
purely educational instruction. 1t Is
not to be wondered at, therefore, that
he has good ground for his creed of con-
verting the heather at home first.
There are now $4,000 Protestant Chris
tians in China. They cost at least $780,
100000. as the work was more expen-
sive and less successful at first. The
first Protestant mission in China was
established in 1907 by the London Mis-
sionary society. The society has sixty
two churches in China and thirty Of
them are self-supporting. A self-sup-
porting church in China Is the same as
n self-supporting church in New York
city The native members support 1t,
and their pastor himself is often O con-
vert but the salary of some of our
great New York pastors for one week
would pay all the expenses of a little
Christian church in a Chinese town
where one fearless citizen out of 1000
has become Christian. All the socle-
ties which have been established for a
number of years In China have some
self-supporting churches. Out of the
total 522 Protestant churches "a are

dollar cigar IL both are badly lighted.
Fifth-Don't smoke too much and
don't smoke a good cigar while you are
walking out OF doors or while you are
driving. All right about General
Grant: but don't you mind It.
Sixth-If you think somking Is in
furious to your health stop smoking
in the early morning. Tw6-thfrds of
the people OF the country have their
stomachs out Of order; and no man all
ing can smoke In the early morning
before or after breakfastI can't ex-
plain it; but the body revolts against
tobacco smoke until 4 few hours after
getting up. Then you long for a smoke
and enjoy 1t. I thought smoking was
killing me until quit 1t in the morn
ing. The best time to smoke Is after
dinner and after supper. and straight
ahead until bed time. Smoking would
not hurt a baby II this rule was fol-
lowed.
Seventh-Don't make q smokestack
out of your mouth by constantly puff
fling on your cigar and spelling it's
taste by getting 1t hot. Take your
time.
Elghth-Never give anybody a light
from your cigar. Carry matches and
peddle them out; but If a man wants a
light from your cigar tell him that
you would rather change cigars, since
yours would be much harmed, if not
ruined, by the crushing and sticking
it would go through.
Finally, never buy a cheap cigar.
There Is mo economy in the1practice
If you can't afford good cigars smoke
less.

How They May Obtain tho Most Enjoy

A few plain directions for cigar smok-
ing, given by an aged smoker and
cigar manufacturer:
First--Buy none but new cigars, the
newer the better. Old cigars that are
dry and brittle are avoided in those
countries where smoking Is a second
nature.
Second-Leave your ashes upon your
cigar until they fail off. A cigar not
only burns straighter while the ashes
remain but lasts longer and tastes bet

Third-ff your cigar goes out be sure
to blow through 1t as soon as pos
