THE BASIS OF MORALS" ."

The Morning Oregonian declares
that the East Oregonian awaits to
hear what the Oregonian says and
then concludes that the opposite
should have been said.
1t is the chief delight of the East
oregonian to lead the helpless wan
derer whether it be the tottering do
tard or the prattling child. back from
any perilous brink it may approach
to the pathway of sanity and safety.
In this spirit the East oregonian
took the Portland paper to task few
days ago, for its unsound moral doc
trine, as exhibited i'm its censure and
condemnation of two runaway Indi-
an girls from the Chemawa school.
In speaking of the return Of the
girls to school. after having eloped
with two libertines from Salem, the
Oregonian said LAS for the girls,
they are past all hope of restoration
to lives of decency and the less effort
wasted on them. the better"
The East Oregonian believes this is
a pernicious doctrine to teach. in the
face of organized charity and re-
forms, in the face of splendid self
sacrifice of noble men and women
working tirelessly to aid and encour-
age the weak and ignorant and In
the face of the millions spent yearly
for the elimination OF vice and the
establishment of the splendid stand
ards of purity.
1t is never too late to help th'
weak and ignorant back to the for
saken path of rectitude; no effort Il
wasted in the last analysis, which ha
for its object the uplifting of the fal
len, however low the rescuer mus
reach to take the hand of the unhap
by, unfortunate and misguided.
The oregonian says the basis o
morals is within and that punishment
of wrongdoing will not conduce t
high personal moral standards.
What, then, is the object of OF
ganized society? Why not turn tn
helpless at large to be the prey
the lusts of the strong and vicious
why offer the protection of laws an
penalties to the weak and erring!
The first seed and germ of persor
al morals may be within each ind
vidual soul. but without the stron
and assuring hand of organized soc
ETY. and law to support, protect an
nurture that inner germ OF morai
the weak and wavering would be
prey to the strong, the erring wou
be encouraged to go deeper into 8
and the hope of reform would

Organized society must afford

BLADDER TROUBLES

Bladder troubles make Ifs miserable 70
those who suffer from them, and unless
they are promptly overcome they are GER
tain to cause serious conditions. Infsm-
nation of the bladder Is becoming more
and more common and when neglected it
develops liberation and this may be fol.
lowed by perforation and death. The irri-
table condition that demands frequent
evacuation during the night as well as day
time, is q source Of great modification and
discomcomfort to old and young.
DR.. Cook, of Chicago, an authority on
kidney and bladder troubles, says:
at is impossible to find single agent
that is a specific for this class of troubles,
because there are so many different struc-
lures involved in the organs. However,
we are able to combine the best known
remedies and obtain most excellent re-
suits. The preparation known as FoLEY's
KIDNEY Cure is an ideal combination

Sixty Years of the Telegraph.

The Wall Street Journal recalls that a notable event will occur on May l. the sixtieth anniversary of the sending of the first Morse message over tel egraph wire in this country. On that day in 1S44 a message was sent over the tlegraph line building between Baltimore and Washington, telling of the proceedings of the convention in Baltimore which nominated Henry Clay for president. The development of the telegraph in the subsequent six ty years has transformed the business of the world. When it is said that there are in this country about 245,OOO miles of telegraph lines, over which, in 1903. 91, ,391, ,443 messages were sent some idea is conveyed of the enormous importance of the first message trans mitted in May. 1S44. There are now l. T64 private and government cables, having a length in nautical miles or 2O4,527, and there are, taking the whole into account more than 100000 tele- graph and cable messages transmitted every day of the year. The following table shows the number of messages sent in each of the more important countries. the statistics for the United States being those of 1903; of Great Britain. those of 1sO2-OS. and those of the other countries being for 1901:

A Platform of Persuasion and Pun
 lshmeut.

We note with interest that the dem aeratic press of the tfrritory Is able to perceive in the existing status or the statehood bill certain overpower'ng reasons for electing a democratic dele gate to congress this fall. These reasons are SO consistent and logical that we take pleasure in giving them wide pub ilcity. To better understand this demo- cratic logic 1t must be remembered that the joint-state bill has been passed by the lower house of the Fifty-eighth congress. and the ultimate fate of the measure will be determined by the up- per house of this same Fifty-eighth congress at the short session of next ,Sinter-a republican majority having 10 deal with the bill in each house. We gather then. from our esteemed demo- cratic exchanges that this is to be the platform whereon the democratic can aldate for delegate will be presented to a bewildered people:
 S Whereas. The Joint statehood bill has been passed by the house of rep fesentatives. and the republican senate ss to say whether the measure is to be enacted into law: and. whereas. the fate of the bill will be settled before the expiration Of Delegate Wilson's present term of office. and the delegate elected this fail will have no voice Tn the matter except as he goes 10 Wash inkton as a private citizen next winter and uses his persuasive powers.
 Resolved: That a stubborn repub- licAh senate win be persua ded to aban- don the joint-state seherre. gnd will be led to defeat the same. by the election of a democratic delegate.
 Whereas. The republicans are re- sponsible for this bill. and the repub- llcan members of the United States senate are sitting in fear and trembling to learn what we, the democrats of Arizona propose to say and do about 1t.
 Resolved: That we advise the peo- ple of Arizona to punish the wicked republican senators. and to get even with them. by electing the democratic candidate for delegate"
 over-critical readers may think that they see something inconsistent in these two blanks. and a suspicion will intrude itself that somewhere in the thing there is a hunk of inconsistency. but we are compelled to accept. as the oaly explanation. that the democratic party Is not expected to be consistent.
