ATHENA, AUGUST 81. !. 1908

There are many different waysof look
ing at the matter of farmers holding on
to their wheat for increase in price, this.
being the way the Pendleton Tribune
looks at it: "The bullish tendency of
the wheat market may cause many farm
ers to hold their wheat for unreasonable
prices. Not a few said they would sell
for 20 cents, but last sales for that price
are hardly to be mentioned. 1t is only
good sense for the raiser to get as much
as he caE but it is nothing short Of gamb-
ling in many cases to hold. Ii the farm
er can afford to pay interest, stand off
his creditors, ETC., and speculate on the
market, especially when it goes above 10
cents, that is his own business, but plain
ly speaking, wheat should commence to
move"
Every indication points to price bet
ter than 70 cents for wheat, and it's safe
to wager that if the Tribune man had
wheat to sell he would be gambling
along with the farmer That wheat is
sure to go up in price, the action of Cal
fornia millers combining to control vir-
tually the wheat crop of the STATE, is to
be considered a flattering indication.
The fleets headed for California ports,
will now be compelled to seek cargos for
foreign shipment either at Portland or
on the Sound. THE California exporter
necessarily need not be idle, for the local
markets Of Oregon and Washington have
wheat to sell and the highest bidder will
get 1t. However, with wheat at 70 cents
there remains no excuse for non-pay-
ment of his obligations, and the farmer
should sell enough wheat to satisfy his
bill with the merchant and others, or
borrow the money at the bank for liqui-
dation purposes.

Tell it not to Roosevelt! A woman Of
Michigan who is authority on child
study" is opposed to large families be-
cause OF the danger of degeneracy to
The children. Commenting on the case
OF the 11-year-old child at Los Angeles
who tried to kill her guardians, foster
parents and five guests by putting poi
son in their food that she might enjoy
their agonies she says; 'sThe fact that
the child was one Of family Of fifteen
children may have been the explanation
Of her state. The mothers vitality
must have been so exhausted that the
girl lacked something in body and mind.
When more than seveA children are
born in a family, all but the first six are
apt to be stupid or frail." Certain sci
entists support this view. II there is
physical lack in the later births there
@ill, of course, be mental or moral lack.
The moral sense Of the family may have
run out" Sometimes, say these sci
entists, the spiritual and mental traits
Of targe family are exhausted, and the
result is degenerate an idiot or a
criminal. Ingenius theory, Only it
isn't true. A large percentage Of idiots
are frst-born. Some of the best and
greatest men OF history have been
the youngest sons of large families II
the breed is bad, the less children the
better. II the breed is good, there can
not be too many. Itall depends on the

A game warden at Walla Walla pro-
poses to instigate crusade against the
practice Of those in whom riparian right
is vested, in allowing trout to enter ir-
rigating bitches. This method Of fish
determination has been noticeable for
years, and that it is far more destructive
than angling, is now well established
fact. This warden proposes to force
owners of bitches to place screens at the
point where the ditch takes water from
the river. 1t is poor policy for the gov
ernment to expend vast sums OF money
for the increase OF fish in depleted rivers
and streams without first curtailing this
destructive source Of depletion.

The besotted pair sat beside the dead
body Of their child and pleaded with
visitor for money to bury it. There
was not penny in the house. They
obtained the necessary sum and or
dered the coffin, and the undertaken
came, and the little body was laid in
the casket, and the parents went out to
drink again.
Returning once more in a drunken
frenzy, they looked about to see what
they could lay hands on in order to OBJ
tain more drink, but there was nothing
in that squalid room but the dead
child in the coffin, and so with feverish
hands they lifted out the still cold
form, and, breaking up the coffin for
firewood, they took it out and sold it
for few pennies in order to obtain
more drink, and the child lay dead up
OH the bare floor until the officer of
health came to interfere.
What mad delirium could ever pos
sess man and woman thus save that
engendered by the iend Of strong
drink7 But such Outrages committed
on the dead produce no suffering. 1t Is
the violent savagery, the callous and
heartless neglect inflicted on the living
child, that is the outrage on our civili-
zation, the curse that shall blight our
prosperity, If we do not get together
and drive back liquor, the worst enemy
that ever opposed humanity and civili-
zation.
All success, say, to the twentieth
century temperance crusade.

Prospects for democratic charm
ony' are not very bright at present,
and there are no signs of the factions
getting any nearer together. The
Brooklyn Eagle says that ''the Bryan
remnant will have to support the NOM
inee whoever he is, and take their
chances under him, or get out. If
they get out, their loss will be more
than made good by better men whom
they alone have alieuated from the
democratic party The Eagle is
booming Parker, and it is therefore
to be inferred that Parker is the anti
Bryan candidate. When the gold
democrats feel that they can afford to
treat the Bryan democrats with such
contumely they must feel quite sure of
their ability to control the conven-
tion: Bryan appeals to the believers
II his platform to organize clubs in
every precinct to work for the control
OF the party. He has taken no stand
on the Parker boom, but says he will
Investigate and if he finds out that
the Eagle is speaking with authority
he: will declare war on him. The
chauces for split in the convention
are growing daily. The two elements
represent such Numerically opposite
views that there is no cha ce for q
reconciliation, unless the convention
should be composed almost exclusive
" OF politicians looking for Office.
In that case of course it would be
easy to compromise. The only ques-
tion to decide would be which csndi-
date would draw the most votes and
what platform would be liable to
bring victory.

might mean good deal to the re.
form forces, provided the break left
the plutocrats in control of the party

troll the convention the platform

Democratic Factions Getting Farther Apart Reform
Forces Would Be Strengthened if Break Occurs.

conservative, in the hope of winning
oyer some of the old-line democrats.
This would of course make it impos-
sible for the pop lists to associate
with them. On the other hand, should
Bryan and his followers walk out
they would be free to join any organi-
cation embracing their views wholly
or in part. It would be the radicals
that would walk out. Many of them
are really populists, and being freed
from the party bonds and the necessi-
ty of temporizing in the hope of win
ming q partial victory, they would be
likely to come out openly and work
for all the ref orms they believe in.
Thus great army of helpers would
come to the reform cause, without
bringing along the party name that
was made odious to many from it's
connection with slavery and rebellion
and later on was borne by the scape-
goat of plutocracy, Grover Cleveland.
There are large numbers of repub-
licans who believe in most of the
principles of populism, but they have
been deferred from joining the move
ment because they hated democracy.
No one who has had anything to do
with politics during the fusion period
can have failed to be impressed with
the power of this prejudice. It was
this prejudice that defeated Bryan,
and it will be in the way as long as
any of the reformers try to work und-
or the democratic banner. A convic-
tion founded upon reasoning may be
changed by more potent reason, but
prejudice listens not to reason.
Hence the populists will be interes-
ted observers of the course of events
in the fight for control OF the demo-
cratic party, and they would not re-
gret to see Bryan openly defeated in
the convention instead of being al
lowed to triumph there in order to be
knitted at the polls.

Wherein Their Safety Lies.

Out OF the 136 counties in Texas,
under that states local option law,
104 have complete prohibition, "a re
strict the sale of alcoholic beverages
to the county seat or principal town,
and only 5S. grant general licenses.
So rapid has been the spread of anti.
saloon sentiment in the state that,
fearing the enactment of a state pro-
hibitory law as the outcome, the more
respectable and lawabiding among the
liquor men are said to be 'seeking 10
save themselves by proposing as a
compromise one of the most radical
and rigorous license ]aws"-to be
operative Of course only in the few
counties remaining "wet" or allowing
sales at county seats-''ever submitted
to state legislature.' 1t is to be
noted that the going "dry" of q great
many counties at the last election was
directly attributable to the defiant at
titude of numerous saIoonkeepers in
refusing to obey the conditions of the
law regulating their traffic. Like re-
suits are apt to follow similar atti-
tude on their part in other states.
The only real safety for q "respect-
abe" liquor traffic is in an alliance
with the citizenship which not only
demands but compels obedience to all
the laws on the statute book Pioneer

In literal sense there can be no
such alliance as the Press suggests.
Those who try to make such distirc-
tions as rule are those who have q
reason for so doing that is not pro-
claimed publicly. The traffic will do
anything to ''save itself" but it takes
two to make q bargain and the citizen
ship that "not only demands but COM
pe1s obedience to ALL laws" is not
seeking an alliance with the saloon.
On the other hand the saloon has much
