East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1904-11-09

AS last appeal to the blind and
ignorant partisanism of which it is
the most conspicuous representative
in Oregon, the Oregonian said in yes
terday's issue that the Lewis and
Clark fair appropriation was made
by congress because Oregon is a re-
publican state. This was the argu-
ment that carried the Lewis and
Clark fair appropriation" says the
ignorant and narrow old grandmoth-
er. Just as If the intelligence of the
American congress were no higher
than its own debased ideal. What
does the pitiful imbecile who writes
this rot think of the appropriation
and loan to the st. Louis exposition.
and st. Louis, chief city in a chief
democratic state? The greatest sum
ever appropriated or loaned by the
government to any private purpose
was granted the st. Louis fair. Ore
gon and the Lewis and Clark fair
were recognized because of the intel
ligence in congress, which is a sting
ing rebuke to the blind and narrow
bigotry Of the oregonian. That pa
per can really claim no part in bring
ing any of the glorious results that
will follow the fair.

MAKE THE LAW RIGHT.

That was an awful scare over pro-
hibition in UmatIIa county. and II
served good purpose. because it
made the violators Of the law feel in
a way they never felt before. the
power of the people.
1t was a close shave and will be
the means of placing the liquor bus
mess where it belongs. in the abso-
hte power of every community, for
its disposal as it sees fit, and as pub
lie sentiment in that community di-
rects.
The thing for all classes of people
to do now, is to make that local OPP
tion law right before the people
make it what people were led to be-
lieve it was last spring, a purely pre-
cinct law.
The law should not be repealed. it
will not be repealed. but it should be
framed TO so govern the liquor bust
ness that it will be more self-respect-
ing. more liberal in its treatment of
the opposition, which has a right to
exist in the community and which
has right to select the surround
ings of every community. if the op-
position is in the majority.
AS a rebuke to the scheme of the
radicals who hid a big wolf in a

many formerly dry precincts have

The East oregonian had little fear
of county prohibition carrying, and
said so a week ago, but it does say.
as it said last spring, that each com
munity should have full control of
this matter, full and final judgment

object of the present law, but it was
lishonestly manipulated by men who

In this effort, all classes of law-re-

RENDER IN ALASKA.

Charity and science have been
combined by the officials of the
United States government in Alaska
in an effort to prevent the starva-
tion of the Alaska Esquimo tribes by
supplying them with reindeer from

been going on for ten years, and
there are upwards of $4,000 of these
most useful domestic animals domi-
ciled among the needy tribes of the

SLAVERY AND CONSUMPTION.

According 20 DR.. Thomas ]. Mays,
of Philadelphia, pulmonary con-
sumption was comparatively un-
known among the plantation slaves
OF the South before tne W. While In
the large cities OF the South 1t was
no more prevalent among them thin
it was among the whites. In Char.ss-
tor. S. c.. the negro death rate of
sumption in 1860 was the same
as among the whites. viz: LIS; in
1876, whites 200. negroes 6.95; in
1890 whites $50, negroes Csc; in
1902, whites 1.4s, negroes 5.74.
Before the civil war insanity, like
consumption. was comparatively rare
among the negro slaves. According
to DIR. T. O. Powell, this disease in
creased 705 per cent among these
people from 1870 to 1890 in Georgia.
The same is true of North Carolina,
for DIR. ]. F. Miller, superintendent of
;he Eastern insane hospital of that
state. declares that from 1885 to 1896
insanity increased 256 per cent among
the colored people in that state.
The conclusion of DIR. Mays, which
was presented TO a recent medical
congress. was that slaves as property
were better cared for than free ne
gvoes care for themselves. AS to the
future. a campaign of education" is

EXAMPLE OF CHARLEY BROWN.

General Lew Wallace. author of
"Ben Hur," a Observation-Disclosures ro-
nance of the time of Christ, which
has exerted perhaps as strong an in
fluence for Christianity as any mod
ern publication, was nearly so years
of age, when a conversation with
Robert G. Ingersoll awakened him to
the vital Importance of the spiritual
side of life.
Wallace says that up to that time
he had looked lightly upon these
matters. that he had followed the
grim professional ideals, which set
fame, wealth. position, ahead of
everything else.
AT so Wallace studied his Bible
Tor the first time, became a believer
In religion, broke through his unfeel-
ing and debased environment and
thereafter devoted his life to the
spiritual and elevating things of life.
1t requires nerve to do that. II
takes backbone to rise above envi-
ronment, to live different from and
more pure than your associates and
surroundings.
The life of Conductor Charles F.
Brown, which was so suddenly snuff
fed out yesterday in the meridian of
its activity and power. was a shining
example of this almost Inspired
strength.
Railroad men, as a rule, Is and 20
years ago, were considered a hard
lot Profanity, drinking. gambling
and all the other forms of thought
less vice were their chief distinguish
ing marks. This did not apply to all
railroad men, at that time, but II was
the rule.
Charley Brown was one of the most
popular among his fellows. He was
a typical railroad man of that pio
neer period and drifted with the
crowd
One day Mr.. Brown resolved to
change his ways. He became con-
verted. Joined a church and began
living Christian life in the very
midst of riot of anti-religious SEN
timent and thought.
His old associates taunted him.
They said it required a certain num-
Der Of 'cuss" words to get freight
train over the road on time. That IL
he didn't swear at his engineer at
every stop they would lose time.
They gave him three weeks in which
to lose his religion and come back 10
his old ways. swearing louder than
ever. But Charley Brown had a way
of his own.
When he said Boys. I've quit"
he meant it. and in his environment
and surroundings, in his occupation
and constant association, it required
gigantic moral strength to do 1t.
But he never lapsed a moment in
his determination. To the hour of
his sudden and unexpected death, he
lived the life he saw was best. He
lived down his environment. He
grew to be venerated by the hardest
and most calloused of his associates,
because of the very strength it re-
auired to live different and better
life among them.

railroad man of Is years ago. Char

UNCLE SANS
JAP-LIKE SOLDIERS
They're the Old GentIeman's Philippine Scouts
and ConStabuIary in the Far East.
BY FRANK M. STEWART.

When Americans see for the first
time the attachments of the Philip
pine Scouts and the Constabulary now
in this country the initial comment is
usually, Why, how like the Japs they
look" and the second, "They seem to
drill every bit as well as the regulars. "
The Filipino soldier, as Uncle Sam
has made him in the last few years, is
strikingly like the Jap fighting man
in many more ways than features and
stature. He is also Numerically op-
posed to the regular in almost as many
respects; and in the opinion of his su-
periors the equal of any soldier in the
world
According to American officers in
command of Filipinos the little brown
men of the archipelago display as as
tcnishing military precocity as that
credited to the japanese. To prove
their statements they declare that
many a Scout, wearing at enlistment
little more than a breach cloth and
skilled only In the use of the crudest
weapons, has become an AL soldier
in from three to six months.
The Filipino Recruit.
Once a uniform is slapped on a Fill
pino recruits back. and his stomach
comfortably filled with food, he throws
himself enthusiastically INTO the task
of doing to the letter what his superiOrs
command him to do. Here again he
betrays a strong likeness to the Jap.
In fact" said a captain of Scouts,
we've got to watch out that the boys
don't work themselves to death. Even

or more are not content to drill merely
at the regular hours. It is customary
all through the camp for squads to
form voluntarily in the company
streets of an evening, and, under the
eye of one of their number, to go
through the manual of arms for half
an hour at a stretch. I've been i'm the
army about fifteen years, and I've
never seen American soldiers pass the
time away in any such fashion"

way, and at the same time, brings his

Filipino at once initiates, and within a
week he has associated the words of
the various commands and their corre-
spending movements so well that he
goes through the manual with almost
the precision of a veteran In mucn

at attention, what "fours right means,

He took her hands, looked into her
face, and was gone. Constance sank
down into her chair and began to cry

tears, joy for herself and Vane, but
sorrow for the one who had left her,
who had gone out with the world again
because he must. What would be the
end of it all?
She arose, and with compressed lips

AInsI<a n Game Country.
From the Field and Stream.

Alaska is a big country, and it has
big possibilities. 1t has the biggest
bear, the biggest moose, the biggest
mountain sheep and the biggest sal
mon and grayling in the world. All OF
these are plentiful and can be taken
under United states regulations. Time
was when Alaska and Siberia were
thought OF by many AS synonymous.
and without any idea Of just what was
meant by either name. That has all
changed in the last few years, and Vow
Alaska is not 50 very far away from
Seattle. Moreover, il has been found to
be anything but an uninhabited and
unnh abitable country. IL Is without
doubt the greatest game country on
the globe to-day, because II is the
newest, and the conditions are right
for the maintenance OF game animals
and birds.
The biggest mountain on the North
American continent is IN Alaska. and
is well named Mount Mckinley. BY
the way, you always thought that
Alaska was away up North" didn't
you? Look on your map and you will
find that vessels leaving Seattle for
Dutch Harbor sail almost due west
only slightly north Of west--so that In
reality the west end Of Alaska r. not
much north OF the latitude OF Japan.

Clark Is Name of Distinguished Derivation

The name Clark is derived from
Glorious" meaning a priest, or one
connected with the service of the
church.
At first the term was used only to
designate those in clerical orders, but
only source OF learning, any person
who had been educated by the clergy
eventually came to be called a clerk"
The designation was finally given to
all who were able to read and write
So distinguished a name was eagerly
coveted. Hence it's frequency, many
people adding 'le clerk" to their
names. This was finally dropped, and
only Clerk left or. as it was pro-
nounced, Clark. The final "e' is an
addition in later times.
Compounds of the name are Beau
clerk, the good Clark; Mauclerk. the
bad Clark; Kenclerk. the knowing
Clark, and Petyclerk, the little Clark.
The name Milo lie Clerk is found in
the "One Hundred Rolls" compiled in
the reign of Edward l, which contain
records of the persons who owned lands
in the time of William the Conquerer,

sheep or hens. or gave their service as
soldiers. Several Domesday tenants
are designated Glorious"
An interesting tradition connects the
Clark family by marriage with that of
the descendants of Joseph of Arima-
thea. After the Crucifixion, Joseph
was banished from Judea. Ia COM
pany with Philip the Apostle, Mary,
Martha, Lazarus and a servant, Mar
ella, he was put into a vessel without
sails or oars. and set adrift, to perish
on the sea. The ship was thrown upon
the French coast. Joseph finally found
his way to Britain. where he founded a
church at Glastonbury, to which place
thousands of the devout. in the Mid
die Ages, journeyed every year to see
the blossoming of the sacred thorn on
Christmas day.
Upon what authority the tradition of
the connection of the family of Clark
with Joseph rests. history maintains
a discreet silence. 1t gives the tradi-
tion, AND leaves the rest to the imagi-
nation.
A tradition which has been the
source of much romantic speculation
relates to the first of the name in the
New World. Richard Clarke, a May
flower passenger, was one of the seven
who died in the first sickness, and he
left no descendants. The tradition con-

OF late years the number Of writer's
among the Cherokees has greatly in
creased. There are historians in the
tribe whose works are used as text
books In the Indian schools, and who
are cited as authorities not to be dis
puted. There are also Indians who
have written codes OF law which be-
fore being put i'm permanent form
had been handed down from genera
tion to generation. The Indians to-
day obey these laws with a greater
reverence than they do the laws of the
United States. There are Indian nov
elists-novelists who devote their time
TO entertaining the Indian mind with
romances with entangled plots and
bloodcurdling climaxes. These books
are popular among the Indians. Edi-
