PROFIT OF PRESS CENSORSHIP.

Press censorship in that much governed
land of which William II is emperor and
war lord appears to resemble that unique
little weapon of aboriginal New Zealand
warfare known as the boomerang. It is
acquiring the habit of hitting back and of
defeating the very object for which it
was intended For instance there is the
case Of the young army lieutenant who
was cashiered from the imperial military
forces for writing book exposing condi-
tions in the army, and thereby awakening
the wrath OF the emperor. This Young
man, If press reports were 10 be believed,
was much in disgrace because Of his book
a few months ago, his career was blghted
and his suicide was expected. Now, how
ever, we are told that the ban placed by
William upon his book, which was a
very ordinary specif,ku of literary work
has served to advertise it immensely. and
that the young author is living in luxury
in Vienna on the royalties he is receiving
from his publishers.
Lucky, therefore, the literary man who
can incur imperial dispeasure. Invariably

AMONG THE PLAYERS
"A Chinese HONEYMOON -

"A chinese Honeymoon which is the
attraction at the Broadway, Monday, Jan
uary d. comes to It's fresh from long runs
in New York, Philadelphia, Boston and
Chicago and is headed by John L. Hem
shaw, and the role of Mr.. Samuel Pine
apple seems to fit that comedian better
than any part he has yet assumed. The
leading opposite character, Mrs. Pine
apple, is being played by Miss Stella
Tracey the clever prima donna from the
New York Casino.
a notable person with "A Chinese
Honeymoon" Is Miss Toby Claude. who is
SAID to be irresistibly funny as Fif. There
Is not much OF her regarding size. but her
impersohation of the London slavery girl
and the songs df "Twiddledy Bits" II
Want 10 be Lidy" and There's a Street
in Heaven Called Broadway" are some
of the hits of the performance.
Other well known people in the cast
are W. II. Clarke, Charles II. Prince,
heorgie Bryton Cahil Edward Clark, Ed
mund Lawrence Helen Morrison, Frances
Knight, May Ten Brock and 4 grand en-
sehiD'e OF nearly 100 voices, making it
one ol the most expensive attractions that

he story of "A Chinese Honeymoon"
relates to certain Mr.. Pineapple who is
dcsirons Of spending his honeymoon in the

Mr.. Pineapple. The Emperor of China
wants wife and Admiral Hi Lung. in
trying to find one for the emperor. meets
Mrs. Pineapple and she, angered by her
husbands lirtations. allows the emperor TO

it works out this way Tolstoi's fame
would not be half SO great were it not for
the advertising the Russian government
gives him abroad by suppressing his writ
ngs in his native land. The world is wide
and curious and when il learns that a eer-
tain publication has been condemned arbi-
trarily, in that instant is the demand for
the publication enhanced. That Is human
nature. Never were more cartoons printed,
never was official condemnation more
sought in Pennsylvania by the press, than
Immediately following the enactment by
the Harrisburg legislature Of press gag
law. And there was bitter disappointment
among the publishers when prosecution
was denied them.
Just at present the foreign visitor in
Paris who is attracting most attention and
receiving the highest honors is Chinese
journalist who arrived there the other day
minus his cars. The gentle and kindly
old lady, Isl Ann, empress dowager Of
China had them removed because this po-
litical writer criticised the ultra conserv-
atism OF the administration. The eminent
Chinaman lost his ears, but lie is having
the time Of his life III Paris in compensa-

great demand in the magazines. Verify,
there is nothing so powerful in achieving
literary success as a rigid censorship. 1t

We are told that the democrats are

plan Of the republicans regarding Panama,
and we are also advised that while Cor
man is probably unable to unite his party
against the great international canal enter
prise he does count il to be possible that
he may succeed III getting two insurgent
republicans to help him. This must be
refreshing information to the republicans
with whose names these liberties are taken,
unquestionably without their consent,
Ii is understood that Senator Hoar has
already indicated that he will support the
Panama canal treaty, and if the democrats
are happy over the prospect OF upsetting
the plans of the administration regarding
Panama, it is quite clear that they will
have to look in some other than republi

view Gorman's efforts to arrest the Pana.
ma canal and to induce Colombia to shed
blood against the independence of Panama
and against the present plans of the United
States, is likely to prove serious disaster
to the democratic party which, it would
seem, has plenty Of disasters in the rear

One OF the really nice things touring
west to the coast this season is the
Philharmonic Lady Quartet of Chicago.
We have noticed nothing but the most
flattering press comment of them through
the western exchanges. Musical critics
cite their program as the strongest ever
given by any similar organization in this
country.
We understand arrangements have
been completed to bring them here for
one night, to be heard in concert in the
Christian church Friday, April 10. The
Philharmonic company includes Fanny
Ferguson, prima donna soprano; Harriet
Gean Eddy, mezzo soprano and accom-
panist; Ethel Cavanagh March, first
alto, Elizabeth Ferguson, prima donna
contralto, and Daisy A, Torrey, imper-
senator.
The company while new to western
audiences have successfully toured the
eastern and middle western states fol
the past eight years and come here
guaranteed to the committee under
whose auspices they appear as the
strongest lady quartet now before the
public in this country. Efforts will b'
made to make the advent of these ac
complished artists one of the social al
well as musical events Of the season. A
special reduction will be made in the

The REASONS FOR IT.
WHY ATHENA CAN PAY HIGH
ER PRICES FOR HOGS.
Hogs Bring all the Way From Half a
Cent to a Cent More in Athena
Than in Pendleton.

"Why is it that Athena buyers will
pay all the way from half cent to a
cent more per pound for hogs than can
be obtained in Pendleton?'' asked a
Birch creek farmer.
The situation is just about as he ex-
pressed it, says the Pendleton Tribune.
Today the highest price offered in Pen
dleton is 6 cents and but few are offering
that. the greater majority offering only
5.75, while in Athena they are paying
6.75 cents per pound. Not only that
but buyers for the Pendleton- market
are forcing the farmer to sell his hogs
for less than he can obtain in other
markets and then charging him higher
prices for the meat. A buyer from
Seattle has been in Pendleton for the
past week endeayoring to purchase a
carload of hogs. He offers 6.75 and will
return in a couple of weeks when it is
altogether probable that to make out the
full car he will pay cents for the pork.
Still the local market is at 9 cents.
In Athena today there will be two
carloads of hogs shipped for the Sound
cities and they have been purchased
from farmers in that vicinity at a price
averaging about three-quarters of cent
more than the Pendleton markets pro-
vide. The reasons given for the low
prices offered 10 Pendleton is that the
farmer who has hogs to sell has always
far less than carload lots and conse'
quently cannot dispose OF them to out
of town buyers at the proper time. II
takes about rs hogs to fill car and the
average farmer has about six or dozer
to offer for sale. He cannot ship them
neither can he secure enough to make
out car and consequently he is com
PEELED to accept smaller price for the
hogs than he would could he get then
to larger market.
The buyer from Seattle found only
two big punches of hogs in that com
munity ready for market and they wer'
not sufficient to make out the car. H,
took an option on the porkers and Sc
cured the promise of another dozen il
about two weeks, and left the city for
fields more prolific in the pork line
Still the farmer asks why pork is cheap
er in Pendleton than elsewhere. 1t
suggested that if he would only rails
two carloads and have them ready TO
market at one time he could geta highe
price for them.
