East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-03-24

True to its coarse instincts, the
Oregonian takes every opportunity to
throw a slur upon the work OF the
churches and instead of welcoming
the army OF evangelists to Portland
in an intelligent and friendly spirit,
it gives its usual snarl, in which is
secreted an insult to the ability and
intelligence Of the speakers.
"'Revivalists' are now to shake II ,
whole population ef Portland over
the perilous edge of hell for some
weeks. Some people will keep their
senses. Some will not"
This is the welcome of the Oregon
ian to so leading pulpit orators and
evangelists, who have aroused the
thinking people of Denver, Los An
geles, Plttsburg and other leading
cities within the past year.
The Oregonian puts the word "re-
vivalists' in quotations, as if it were
a term of reproach. 1t says most
people will keep their senses, as if
it were a dishonor for citizens to lis
ten to the discourses of educated and
Intelligent speakers on this one great
question before the civilized world
as If it were disgraceful to become
converted and lead a nobler life than
that found in the gutter.
Last year year the Oregonian took
a stand with the whiskey interests
and it has always been identified
with political corruptionists, so its
moral sense is blunted and little more
could be expected from it in an edi-
torial way.
Shutting its ewes to the splendid
accomplishments of "revivalists" and
blinded by egotism to the good that
comes through organized effort to
uplift humanity, the Oregonian wraps
itself up in a sort of skeptical arro-
gance which recognizes nothing good
except in its own distorted moral
code.
1t assumes an intelligence and |
wisdom apart from the gift of God |
in furnishing the thinking mind and
the pulsing heart. If people speak
of sacred things, they will not keep
their senses in THE estimation of
the Oregonian. If they scott, they
will be elevated to a high intellectual
plane Compare the work Of the
oregonian to that of the least of the
''revivalists" now in Portland. That
is one way to estimate its intellectual
size.

JIM TOWNS PLEA.

Jim Town is only "chink," but
he has a human heart beating under
his waistcoat and a human passion.
wrapped up in his idolatrous
breast.
Hts pitiful, yet ridiculous plea be-
fore the city council, to be allowed
to smoke opium in Pendleton. is one
of the most striking incidents, from
the human interest point of view,
that has been Witnessed here in many
day.
This burning passion of his coun-
trymen is consuming them; it is
worse than the whiskey-hunger in
the stomach of a posted drunkard;
it is stronger than love of home, bus
iness, family, country or God. 1t is
the one ruling passion in the Chinese
nature.
White traders, boasting the wor-
ship of a Christians deity, planted
this opium curse in China. Before
it was brought from India by English
men, the Chinese people knew it not,
but once in its ueshes, became
slaves to it.
Jim Town cannot understand how
law can stand between a man and
his rlaas s,,ra h1a habits HE DIea to
set aside the opium ordinance is
pitiable display of barbarian sim
plicity and weakness. And his crav-
ing viii be satisfied law or no law.

The East Oregonian rejoices to
see a movement being made in Or
egon to collect back taxes from land
grants that have escaped through
special privileges for almost half a
century No wonder the tax on the
common people has been extortion-
ate, at times in this state, when vast
amounts of rich land owned by cor
porations, have escaped all burdens
of government. This movement was
started by Governor Chamberlain,
and if accomplished by the people,
will stand as one of the monuments
of the Chamberlain administration in
this state.

examined me and, to my surprise, declared

II felt sure that it meant my death warrant,

growing, till the doctor said that nothing but
an operation would save me. Fortunately

taking regular treatment, finding to my
great relief that my general health began to
improve, and after three months noticed
that the tumor had reduced in size. kept
on taking the Compound, and in ten months
it had entirely disappeared without an oper-
alton, and using no medicine but Lydia E.

At small cost the court house lawn

Even this would relieve the city from

be a makeshift, until a park can be

In July, 1855, began to break out with
Eczema on my head, legs and arms, and
began treatment with local doctors, but
did not get much relief. They said the dis
ease had become chronic. l then quit them
and tried various ointments and soaps for
another two years, but as soon as cold
weather came was as bad off as ever, so I
finally decided to let medicine alone, and
for twelve or thirteen years did nothing
towards curing the Eczema, except bath
ing. This seemed to do about as much
good as anything I had tried.

They got the same answer.
All that night the Manchuria ran
without lights like a pirate, and al
though the danger was slight that she
would hit anything there were those
on board who said they thought the
United States laws regarding naviga-
ton we're made to be enforced. Some
of them recalled how neglect of certain
Federal laws caused the loss of hun
dreds of lives on the Gen. Slocum in
New York Harbor.
When morning came all breathed
more freely. On Friday, May 5, there
was much speculation as to what the
captain would do. No Russian war
ships We're seen, and the fear of cap
ture grew less. When the stars came
out it was seen that the ship was still
running south of west, showing that
the captain had gone quite a distance
out of the usual track of vessels run
ming to Yokohama from Honolulu.
BY that time the ship was within
less than 100 miles of Yokohama har-
Dor. By 10 o'clock that night numerous
lights We're seen on vessels off the
Japanese coast. The Manchuria had
been running ever since dark without
lights again and Capt. Saunders had
left the bridge and had gone into the
music room and ordered a steward to
put the wooden shutters in place where
the lights We're showing through the
| windows.
The lights off the coast kept getting
thicker and thicker. and many passen-
gers stayed up, to be ready in case of
a collision. At one time fully eight
| lights of vessels could be seen. Many
of the passengers at first thought they
We're lighthouses.
! At exactly 1920 o'clock the captain
ordered all lights turned On again, and
once more the Manchuria was sailing
the high seas legally. Yokohama was
only few miles away then. The many
| lights of cruising vessels showed the
! captain that there We're no Russian
warships about, and a great load evil
IDENTIFY rolled from his shoulders. When
the passengers arose again they were
sailing up the great Yokohama bay il
a string of four steamships that haC
arrived at the entrance in the night
