The car of Russia is the owner of
over a hundred estates, all of which
supply him with private revenues,
but he is also the possessor of a
hundred palaces and castles, which
have to be maintained in imperial
style at a great expense to the owner.
The car has more servants than any
one else in the world, for a veritable
ARM of over 10000 domestics-
cooks. pages, buffers, grooms, garden
ers and SO forth-is employed on his
estates. He possesses over 40 resi-
dences which he has viewed external
ly, but never inhabited, even for one
night and another score in which he
has slept on only one occasion. The
czar's private stable contains over
5000 horses belonging to him and the
herds of cattle feeding on his own
lands are estimated to number over
$4,000 head.

THE TREATING CUSTOM.

The American treating custom is to
De blamed for large amount of in
temperance.
The average man who drinks "oc-
casionally" is good fellow. He is
good-hearted. But the desire to fos-
ter good-fellowship and disposition
to be generous are frequently the
causes of his undoing.
The custom of setting up the
| drinks is the cause of much over
drinking. If such term may be used.
man goes into a saloon. He wants
only one drink. A gang of his friends
comes in. He cannot get away with
out drinking with all of them. That
is the ethics of the bar. Before he
leaves he is filled up.
If one is determined to drink (and
there are millions who seem thus de-
termined) the safer procedure is the
Dutch treat"-the kind where every
man treats himself.
Our German fellow citizens follow
this custom largely and one seldom
sees a German much the worse for
liquor.
The man who follows the treating
custom is probably a moral coward.
He is afraid of offending. The con-
ventions demand that he should "set
em up to the boys" and he is too
weak to refuse. He fears being call
ed tight wad."
The man who bows to the treating
custom is probably also a fool. He
acts foolishly. He drinks when he
has no desire. He makes an occasion
where there is no sensible excuse. In
a competition of generosity he makes
a swill barrel of himself to please his
fellows. He prostrates the virtue of
friendship and makes 1t a vice.
Do not drink at all. Abstinence is
the only safe course
If you must drink, go 1t alone. Make
every occasion of it Dutch treat

SATISFIED.

l don't think l would care to change
This old world If l could.
What could be sweeter than the
songs
OF wild birds in the wood?
Or prettier than sweet sixteen?
More grand than matronhood?
Oh. no, l wouldn't change the world
At all; not if could
Could l improve a babys laugh?
Add sweetness to the look
A mother gives her little brood?
Add beauty to the brook?
would not dare nor care to try.
Sky, wood and plain and dell
Are good enough for me, | guess;
They suit me pretty well.

Umatilla county should be proud of
some of the printing now being done
for the different officials The teach
ers' institute programs and circular
letter printed for the county superin-
tendent at cheap rates by the official
paper are a disgrace to the art of
printing and do injustice to the edu-
cational standard and high ideals of
Umatilla county educators. Cheap
rates will produce cheap" work and
cheap work lowers the standard of
those using 1t in the eyes of observ-
ant and scrupulous strangers receiv-
ing it. The Thursday Afternoon Club
recently had a program printed at
cheap rates but it is safe to say they
will not want another job of the same
quality at any price.

The Russians and Japanese are
trying to fight a war without the
American mule. 1t can't be done, as
was shown by the efforts to pull
through the mud on the retreat from
Liao Yang to Mukden. Only the
American mule is equal to the task
of pulling artillery and transport
wagons for miles over rough roads
or on roads. He has the patience
and strength with endless endurance
and will wear out the best horses
under such circumstances.

SCHOOL OF ASSASSINATION.

Seventy persons have been arrest
ed at Foggia. Italy, for belonging to
society whose objects are robbery
and murder. At the headquarters OF
the society at Barletta there was a
school for the members, who were
taught the best way to rob and assas-
sinate quickly. The members paid a
monthly subscription, and were grad
uated according to the amount of
money they brought to the funds of
the society. For two years they have
terrorized the towns of the Adriatic.
Whenever members were arrested by
tn police on charges of murder COM
rades came forward, and by proving
an alibi obtained their acquittal.

factor in the field of forecasting.
Trading in 1905 crop futures was in

opening prices are very low as com
pared with prevailing wheat prices,
but very high as compared with mi

MR., M'CLEARY STUFFS
T. ROOSEVELT
Tells How the Prairie States Are
Ablaze for Republican Ticket

OYSTER BAY, n. Y, Aug. %
Representative James T. McCleary, of
Minnesota, accompanied by his son, ar
rived this afternoon and visited the
president. Mr.. McCleary was in New
York in conference with Chairman
Babcock, of the Republican congress
sional committee, and came to Oyster
Bay to pay his respects to the presi-
dent. He remained with Mr.. Roose-
Welt only a short time, discussing with
him subjects of common concern.
Mr.. McCleary was enthusiastic over
the Republican outlook, not only in
Minnesota, but throughout the Middle
West and Northwest. 1.-THE prairie
states are ablaze for Roosevelt ana
Fairbanks" he declared, "and L look
for immense najorities everywhere in
that part of the country. In few iso-
lated districts the Democrats are max
ing desperate effort to defeat the Re-
nublican congressman. They will go
to the extent of sacrificing the national
ticket TO this end, but / have no doubt
we shall be able to hold our normal
majority in the house of representa-
tiveS."
Mr.. McCleary left for New York in
the evening. He will return to Min
nesota almost immediately.

A TEST OF. ABILITY

The story of the man who, begin
ming as cash or bundle boy at an early
age. comes in time to own the store
in which he started, or another equally
good somewhere else, is known IN al,
most every community. This sort Oh
man is found to have one trait in com
mon with his successful cenfrere or
competitor who may have been born
rich and has grown still richer, and
that is an abiding belief in the value
of life insurance.
Find the man of wealth anywhere,
whether he made or inherited his pos
sessions, and you will almost inyari-
abIv discover that he carries flne
line OF life insurance. In the rare IN
stances in which he is not insured 1t
will usually be learned that physical
imperfections have alone barred him
from being a policy holder, and even
then he will be found to be an outspo-
ken believer In its great worth ana
quick to counsel everybody to insure.
In other words. the possession or
wealth presupposes ability either ON
the part of the man who has made IL
himself or in his father or other an
cestors who made it for him, and one
concomitant of ability is always be-
lief in life insurance and practlcal
espousal of that belief by either being
a policy holder or advising others 10

LET HER DISAPPEAR

The obvious desire in certain quar-
OF Mrs. Maybricl1 to this country
should be frowned down sterniy. 1t
can have no other inspiration than the
vulgar one Of making a nine days talk
and selling few worthless newspa-
pers. And no worthy end is to be
served.
The great interest in the case OF
Mrs. Maybrick has been felt by those
who believed that an innocent woman
was suffering dreadful punishment IN
an English gaol AS long as this might
be true, there was occasion for un-
ceasing effort and for appeal to all
public opinion that might be helpful,
however slowly and Indirectly, in Sc
curing her release. But that reason
has now entirely disappeared.
Mrs Maybrick is free woman. She
has returned to this country and is
finding among friends such consola-
tion as their sympathy may give for all
that< she has. whether justly or un-
justly, endured 1t would be unnatural
il she were not still to cherish for her
own part the hope and the purpose of
establishing her innocence to the salts
isfaction of the world. But this is now
purely personal affair. No public in
terests are involved, since there are no
authorities to be convinced and nc
prison doors to be opened.
The Maybrick case has had it's day.
There is felt but the most fanguid in
terest now in the movements or the
future Of this woman who had to face
fate SO singular and SO stern. Only
the least admirable form of journalism
will seek to turn again the 1inelight
upon the figure of one who has en-
dured so much, or to reopen question
that has stirred differences of opinion
savage and irreconcilable. However
you view it, the case of Mrs. Maybrick
is one of those human tragedies that
show us the most awful side Of life
And upon them it is we'll that the cur
tain should fail.

embodiment of the Republican tariff
policy. He. looks upon it merely as
something wherewith elections may be
carried, by enrfching one portion Of
the public and quilting the other. To
him it has no mere moral element than
the question whether a log should be
sawed into boards or scantling. When
he wants support and contributions
from the big manufacturers, he is the
most uncoinpromising of protection
lists; and would shut. out Canadian
products as the bane and ruin of our
industry. When he talks to an over
taxed people and finds them favoring
reciprocity, then he is ready to declare
for that and to promise that it will be
granted. 1t is this sickening and OBJ
trusive hypocrisy that dominates the
entire Republican party today.
There was a time when Republican
belief in the efficacy of protective
tariff was sincere. Horace Greeley be-
lieved in it. William Mckinley, before
the larger duties of the presidency
brought enlightenment, believed in 1T.
Many men brought up in the crude
economic environment of our earlier
! years believed in it. For them there is
no shame save such as may follow
honest error. But these glib hypo-
critics. these men who know the lnfa-
mics of the tariff today and call them
good, these politicians who promise
tariff reduction in the presence of
campaign while monopoly holds their
secret pledge that not duty shall be
touched except to raise it, these con-
scienceless spoilers of honor as well as
of the prosperity of the people-these
whom the Republican party delights to
honor and who are in full control of its
| fortunes today-ought to be cast into
outer darkness.
Mr.. McCleary ought to be defeated
4 because the theory that he squaresy
holds is false in fact and utterly I'M
moral in tendency and effect. But he
! is an angel of light in comparison with
! 80 per cent of the leaders Of his party,
represented by Senator Lodge. For
| these men sin against the truth and
against party and personal honor as
well as against the peoples welfare.
Whatever be the fate of parties or OF
the tariff, let us at least praise 'hon-
esty in public life and sink the hypo-
crite so deep in defeat that his sleek
head may never emerge and his oily
tongue neyermore utter lies for the
peoples befoofment.
